    Summary


    “If I so much as catch a whiff of you around this lab before three weeks after the surgery —“ (three weeks! Viktor sputters incredulously, but Jayce powers on) “— I’m dragging you back to…” he blinks. “Who am I dragging you back to? Who do you have looking after you?”

     

    “I do not need a babysitter,” Viktor scoffs. “I have been through worse. I will be fine. I will pay someone to deliver some meals and take the week off work.”

     

    Jayce looks at him like Viktor’s just said something incredibly and unbearably sad.

     

    “So,” Viktor continues, “are you going to do the laundry, or not? If not, I will find someone else.”

     

    Jayce is silent for a long moment. Then:

     

    “Yeah,” he says. “I can do that.”


    Viktor resigns himself to recover from spinal fusion surgery alone. He fails to account for Jayce's fervent desire to serve him.

    Summary

    “You topsiders are always sorry for everything,” Vitkor says hoarsely. “It’s always 'I’m sorry,' never spitting on your hands and fixing the thing you’re sorry for.”

    “Like you’d ever let me.”

    Viktor’s eyes narrow.

    “Excuse me?”

    “You’d never let me,” Jayce says, louder. “Every time I’ve asked to help, you’ve turned me down.”

    For a fragile moment, the only sound is the rasp of Viktor’s breathing. He stares at Jayce with palpable anger—that’s what it has to be, the intensity in his eyes—before he seems to catch himself. His breathing changes.

    “Ask again,” Viktor says.

    Summary

    “So you see me and you see problems to be solved?”

    “No! No. No, Viktor, I… I see you, and I see potential. And I see what you and I could prevent… I… I imagine a young Viktor, right now, breathing that damn grey… and I hate us for allowing that. Don´t think for a second I pity you"

    Jayce falls across time and gets a chance to walk a better path than the one that ended atop the Hexgates. He has a chance, to make hextech work, to save as many as he can... and perhaps, just perhaps, to free the man he loves from the tragic future that hangs over them.

    Summary

    The rocket strikes through the heart. Reality collapses in less than five seconds.

    Jayce rebuilds Viktor, little by little, piece by piece.

    And if his partner comes back from the dead a little different, well... what's not to love? Jayce is a quick study. He can adjust himself into a suitable form. He pledged himself to this task a dozen years ago; he's in it for the long haul.

    To put it bluntly: this is the one where Dr. Frankenstein runs away with his bride.
