    Summary

    The ink hadn’t even dried up on Jayce’s PhD diploma when the job offer landed in his inbox. Prestigious, well-funded, and in a country he had never even considered moving to. At the time, it had seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime.

    But being there now, staring at a stack of unread emails, most of them marked urgent in varying degrees of exaggeration, Jayce wonders if he’d been a little too eager to say yes.

    He came here to innovate, teach, and change the game, but lately, it feels like he spends more time fighting bureaucracy than breaking ground.

    And there’s also Viktor.

    or

    Jayce tries to keep his longings locked, but fails miserably

    Summary

    Instead of dissolving with Viktor like Jayce expected, he gets sent a decade into the past when Viktor didn’t even know him yet. Of course the logical action to take is to kidnap him. Meanwhile Viktor, twenty-two years old, figures that hey, as long as he can research magic, this isn’t too bad of a predicament.

    Or: Post-Season 2 Jayce and Season 1 Viktor, the grief of having lost your soulmate while having to look at his younger version who doesn’t even know you, the endless exhaustion of being a second-hand love and also science.

    Summary

    Massive spoiler for the entirety of season 2 of Arcane!

    Jayce and Viktor find themselves stranded in an unfamiliar wilderness, forced to confront the consequences of their past choices and the scars left behind. As they struggle to survive, they become entangled in new political machinations that threaten to pull them back into the cycles of ambition and conflict. Will they repeat the mistakes of their past, or will they find the strength to chart a new path forward?

    "Jayce’s eyes snapped open, his chest heaving as if he had just surfaced from drowning, the desperate gasp of breath slicing the quiet air. For a moment, he couldn’t remember where he was. The sensation of stillness pressed against him, disorienting and suffocating all at once. Then it came flooding back in fragments, vivid and painful: the celestial expanse of Viktor’s hive mind, the sharp glow of the acceleration rune pulsing in Viktor’s hand, his trembling breath as their foreheads had touched for the last time—then the light. Swallowing them whole."

    Summary

    Jayce and Viktor vanish from the roof of the Hexgate and reappear thirty years later completely unchanged: Jayce still bruised and broken, Viktor still behind the Machine Herald's mask.

    Meanwhile, the twin cities of Piltover and Zaun have irreparably changed. Science and magic meet in startling ways, the dead rise, and foreign political powers threaten to undermine the work done to recover from the battle three decades prior. Old champions struggle to protect the city's foundations while new actors fight to determine its future. The waters are rising, the forests are evolving, and the peoples of Runeterra are finding new ways to make old mistakes.

    And, in the middle of it all, Jayce and Viktor figure out how to be.

    Summary

    In the gleaming halls of Piltover’s Academy, Jayce and Viktor are more than just brilliant partners—they are soulmates brought together by ambition, trust, and an unrelenting pursuit of progress. But when an intimate moment at a high-society gala blurs the lines between their work and their emotions, Viktor finds himself questioning everything he thought he understood about their partnership.

    Caught between their Hextech dream and the simmering tension they can no longer ignore, Jayce and Viktor must navigate the uncharted territory of desire, vulnerability, and trust.

    In the spaces between equations and quiet glances, they may find that they are inextricably bound not just by their work, but by something deeper.
