    Summary

    It’s too easy for Jayce to forget, sometimes, that Viktor isn’t nice. Viktor’s good. Viktor’s kind. Viktor wants to lift up the weak and the helpless and cast down the mighty. But he isn’t nice. And he’s only human: sometimes, he takes things too far. Sometimes, Jayce wonders if Viktor pictures perfection as a vast white wasteland: sterile, untouched.

    But Jayce isn’t one to criticise. He, too, has his flaws. That night, Jayce pictures Viktor bent over the welding bench and he takes himself in his hand, moving quick and fast and cruel until he comes. Yes: he, too, has his flaws.

    Or: Jayce is down bad, and Viktor slowly notices.

    Summary

    Waves of color permeate the air, that buzz in his head growing louder and he hisses in pain, leaning heavily against his cane. He feels rooted to the spot as something emerges from the spattering of colors, a flashing light that nearly blinds him. It grows and grows, shimmering like starbursts, sparking wildly. He squeezes his eyes shut and something splutters with a pop, fizzling almost violently in the air.

    He opens his eyes and there is a man before him, falling to his knees with a shuttering gasp, hands gripped tight around the arm of a hammer. All Viktor can see is shaggy dark hair and tattered clothes before amber brown eyes are staring wildly up at him, bloodshot and wide—

    And familiar. So, so familiar.

    Viktor would know him anywhere, anywhere at all, just by those eyes.

     

    (Or, a feral Jayce drops into the lap of a Viktor who has yet to invent Hextech.)

    Summary

    “The only thing I miss is you being out of my life,” she bites out, and they’re about three leagues from being convincing, “I wish I never met you.”

    “Do you?” Jackson questions, “Or are you just afraid of the way I make you feel?”

     

    / Jackson follows Lisa after the events of Red Eye. How could he not?

    Summary

    But Will’s no fool. He’s heard the rumors. The rumors that Nico used to have a crush on Percy Jackson, of all people. And Will’s not. He’s no Percy. He’s no child of the Big Three. There are no prophecies about him, no fair gods or goddesses in love with him, no real skills on the battlefield, no mile-wide heroic streak.

    He’s never even been on a quest.

    Quite simply put, even as far as demigods went, Will Solace was ordinary. And in his experience, people like Nico di Angelo had no business with the ordinary.

    ----
    Or, the story of how Will Solace slowly learns that he is exactly who he needs to be.

    Paul is like… eighty percent sure that some of Percy’s so-called "quests" are all one big hoax. He isn’t able to prove it until he goes to Taco Bell at three in the morning.
