    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.

    Summary

    “Is there something on my face?” Jayce broke.

    “You look nervous.” Viktor remarked, lip twitching in half-a-smile.

    “Maybe.” Jayce laughed. “I’ve never been here before. I mean, obviously, just… why’d you pick this one, out of curiosity?” Viktor took a beat to formulate his response.

    “It’s my favorite.” Jayce felt perhaps too giddy at this reveal of information. He really was being shown something in Viktor’s world, even something as impersonal as a favored public space. Anyone could come here, it wasn’t a secret, but it was something he didn’t know of before. Something private in that way. And now Jayce felt fractionally less of a stranger. Closer to him by increments.

     

    or

    When Viktor takes Jayce out of the lab to unwind one stressful night, Jayce begins to drown in his feelings.

    Summary

    He had been floating and dissolving, letting go, at peace, then the next moment—

    Viktor.

    Cait pushed him back with hands on his shoulders and more force this time. Jayce struggled against her, because this was wrong. His breaths were growing more ragged by the second, and concern took over his friend’s face as she sighed, easing her grip.

    “I told you. You’ve been gone for over two years, Jayce.”

    Endings? Not on my watch! Following the events of season 2, Jayce and Viktor time travel to the future. The problem is that they don’t arrive at the same time. Jayce finds himself alone on the streets of Piltover after 2 years have passed for everyone else. The conflict between Zaun and Piltover has reignited and grown fiercer than ever, Viktor has changed once more, and Jayce needs to find a way to deal with it. Meanwhile, Viktor reckons with difficulties of his own.

    Summary

    “You fell asleep.” Jayce’s hand is warm, palm resting between lithe shoulder blades as Viktor stands. “Did you have that dream of yours again?”

    “The end of the world is always terribly bare. A void.” Viktor reaches for his cane; finely crafted rosewood. The tau handle is simple, as Viktor prefers it. Jayce has been asking for years to fashion a brass hilt. Or obsidian. A statement. “Our research has not brought us any closer to answers, has it?”

    - Jayce and Viktor reincarnate in an alternate timeline where magic and science have successfully entangled with one another. As the Arcane awakens, so do dormant memories, manifesting as dreams. As their past lives come back into focus, they realize what they lost. In a new world filled with possibility, they embrace a second chance at life, and perhaps, at love and all that could have been.

    Summary

    “You have been here before?”

    The stranger stiffens for a fraction of a second. He recovers quickly. "No."

    “You speak cryptically,” Viktor drawls. “If you expect me to trust you, you must provide clarity. Otherwise, I have no choice but to alert my professor—or the Enforcers, if necessary.”

    The man laughs gently. Pitifully.

    "That’s so like you."

    Viktor meets a man who walks into his lab one day, claiming to be from another timeline. They weren't just partners, Viktor quickly discovers. They were much more than that.

    Summary

    My little-worlded self! the shadows pass
    In this thy sister-world, as in a glass,
    Of all processions that revolve in thee:
    Not only of cyclic Man
    Thou here discern'st the plan,
    Not only of cyclic Man, but of the cyclic Me.
    Not solely of Mortality's great years
    The reflex just appears,
    But thine own bosom's year, still circling round
    In ample and in ampler gyre
    Toward the far completion, wherewith crowned,
    Love unconsumed shall chant in his own furnace-fire.

    Summary

    “This is wrong,” Jayce rasped, his voice strained with torment, so unlike the Jayce that had left mere hours ago to dance and drink and make merry and maybe even make love to the beautiful Mel Medarda. “This is too far back, I shouldn’t be here—”

    This Jayce was like a wild animal, bearded and shaggy, furious and heartbroken.

    The huge weapon thudded to the floor once again, and Viktor finally dared to speak.

    “Jayce, is that… you?”

    Stewing in his loneliness, research assistant Viktor witnesses an Anomaly take place in the laboratory he shares with Jayce Talis, potentially altering life as they know it (or might never come to know).

    Summary

    When Sanji's father decides to sell the diner in the town where he grew up, Sanji reluctantly returns home to help prepare the place for sale. He should have known he'd have to deal with Zoro who never left their small town and who seems to be nursing a chip on his shoulder. Which might be fair given what happened between them.

    Worse than saying goodbye to the diner Sanji loves so much are the weird happenings around town. Sanji would just ignore it all if only Zoro didn't start acting suspicious as hell.

    Summary

    “You know,” Zoro starts beside him, and Sanji turns his head to see the swordsman watching him carefully, the edges of his lips twitched up into a small smile, “if the wind changes, your face will be stuck like that.”

    Sanji stares at him for a moment, suddenly aware of his deep frown, and he smoothes it away with a brush of his hand as he scoffs. “It’s not funny when you say it, Marimo.”

    Zoro laughs. “Oh, but it is when you do?” he asks with a cocked eyebrow and Sanji grins at him, reaching out to shove at his shoulder, well aware that he knocks Zoro slightly off balance only because the swordsman lets him.

    “Excuse you,” he retorts, dodging Zoro as he swipes out at him with a large hand, “but I’m fucking hilarious.”

     

    Or, five times Zoro shows affection and the one time Sanji realises (and returns) it.

    Summary

    There’s something crawling and growing in his lungs. There’s something big and alive and fluttering in his chest. There’s a bitterness against his palate, scratchy against his throat yet feather-soft against his tongue.

    There’s a fully formed sunflower head, as big as his fist, in a crumpled mess at his feet.

    (or sanji falling in love is, ironically enough, going to be the death of him.)

    Summary

    “Your name means…three.”

    It’s not voiced as a question, but Sanji reads the why in his expression anyway.

    “You know what kind of people are named after numbers?”

    Zoro grunts, but says nothing. Sanji answers it for him. “Test subjects.”

    Sanji doesn’t exist.
