    Summary

    Sometimes there's nothing you can do except scrap the whole experiment and start over. The worst possible outcome becomes an opportunity for a new beginning.

    Viktor and Jayce, estranged enemies in a brutal war, go back to the start - and then earlier than that. The key to their salvation ends up being an undercity brat named Silco.

    He's not quite the person they remember.

    (Completed. Updates frequently.)

    Summary

    After saving Piltóver, neither Jayce nor Viktor expected to travel to a different timeline where Hextech has never even been invented. Instead, shimmer took its place as the discovery of a lifetime, recognized for its medicinal properties in the scientific field.

    However, shimmer’s addictive nature threatens to spiral out of control.

    Viktor works hard to find a solution to prevent the disaster shimmer can cause, while simultaneously exploring his feelings for Jayce, trying to mask them as mere affection. It was more than that, and they were both starting to get pretty tired of pretending.

    Summary

    Jayce rubs his temples, glancing between the different diagrams of the anomaly. “Right, just to clarify: you’re saying that a version of me from the future appeared, destroyed our lab, tried to kill you and then demanded you blow up the Hexgates. And you actually want to do it. Am I missing anything?”

    Viktor hesitates, before throwing caution to the wind. Unreserved honesty will prevent any miscommunication later. “You also kissed me.”

    Jayce’s head whips around. “I— What?

    “You - he - kissed me. And…” Viktor trails off, gesturing vaguely - uncertain of how much he should reveal. He’s always seen sex rather candidly, never understanding Piltover’s insistence on maintaining taboo; but out of consideration for Jayce, it seems polite to keep the details to himself.

    His hand motion must convey more than enough. Jayce flushes from the crown of his head to his Adam’s apple, and buries his face in his hands.

    Summary

    “Time heals all wounds…” she then said softly.

    Jayce finally looked up, an idea sparking in his mind as he stared at her with an intensity that surprised even himself.

    Time.

    Maybe… just maybe… there was a way.

    Or alternatively:

    After the attack on the council Jayce loses Viktor in the explosion. Now back in time, a week before progress day, Jayce is determined to do anything to keep Viktor alive and save.

    Summary

    Viktor is in love with Jayce. His lab partner of three years, and best-friend.

    He knows that his feelings will never be reciprocated, and he's fine with that.

    But all of that changes when a single, drunken encounter that Jayce cannot remember sends Viktor into a tailspin.

    OR Viktor and Jayce make out while they're drunk, and Viktor is plagued with the memory of swapping spit with the man of his dreams, whilst Jayce continues about life non-the-wiser.
