    Summary

    The Cat King doesn't stop when he reaches Charles, instead circling him lazily, surveying him from each angle. “Which begs the question — why are you here? Afraid they're comparing notes?”

    Charles jumps, startled by the monarch's proximity. “What? No!”

    The Cat King hums, considering. “Need to borrow a cup of sugar for your tea?”

    Charles can’t help but feel distinctly like a plaything, as if he came here to personally entertain his boyfriend’s boyfriend. “Oh, bugger off.”

    Undeterred, the Cat King continues, “In need of someone to warm your bed while Edwin is away?”

    Charles' mouth opens to object again, but his heart leaping into his throat stops him cold.

    The Cat King sashays back into his field of vision, eyes full of a feral delight. “Oh my, I guess third time really is the charm.”

    x

    Charles' boyfriend, Edwin, is out of town with Charles' ex, Crystal, on an investigation, leaving Charles to handle a difficult case on his own. In search of a quick release, he seeks out the one person with the correct skill set for the job -- who just so happens to be his boyfriend's boyfriend, the Cat King.

    Things get more complicated from there.

    Summary

    Slight AU where Charles makes it through the night in the attic. Now he has a handsome Edwardian ghost at his side to help him try and survive St. Hilarion's. There's no world in which they don't become best friends and more.

    Really just an excuse to write some boarding school shenanigans and ghost smut. None of Charles' other classmates can see Edwin, which means pranks and some serious PDA are on the table. Written based on a nsfw tumblr prompt.

    Summary

    “Try me,” Jenny says flatly.

    Crystal grimaces again, then takes a deep breath. “Alright, you want the truth? I’m psychic. I can read people’s minds, and I can make them think things. Up until this morning, my friends were ghosts who’ve been dead for decades, but a shapeshifting cat god gave Charles a magic bracelet that granted Charles’ wish to be alive again—“

    Charles cuts her off with a noise of frustration. “I didn’t wish for this. I didn’t ask for anything. That whiskered muppet tricked me.”

    Crystal rolls her eyes. “Okay. Fine—the shapeshifting cat god tricked Charles into wishing him and Edwin back to life, and that’s why Charles sounds and acts like a fucking alien.”

    Jenny gives her a long, blank look following this explanation. “Oh, so you’re all crazy,” she finally says. “Okay.”

    ~~~
    In which the Cat King “rewards” the Dead Boy Detectives by turning them into the Alive Boy Detectives, Charles finds his deepest desires colliding with his greatest fears, Edwin makes a few discoveries of his own when forced to relearn how to live, and the best laid plans of ghosts, cats, and crows oft’ go awry.

    Summary

    The Lanes never sleep.

    The sunken streets may lie beneath Piltover’s heavy shadow, and it's faults are numerous and deadly, but no one can claim that the Undercity is boring.

    There is always colour to be found, if you know where to look.

    It’s something you pride yourself on – the ability to see what others can’t. Some mistake it for simple optimism. But you know it’s more than just that. It’s the thing that’s kept you alive this long, in more ways than one. You've always been happy to go wherever life has taken you, and you're a big believer in gut instinct.

    But you never expected to end up working as a bartender at The Last Drop – having been scouted by a blue haired girl who wouldn't take no for an answer.

    Neither did you expect to find yourself landed with the terrifying task of ensuring Silco's personal drinks cart is kept well stocked.

    And you certainly never expected to find yourself inadvertently become the weekly drinking partner of the Eye of Zaun himself.

    Summary

    It made sense, really, Viktor not having a romantic partner. His drive seemed too singular, all-encompassing in its pursuit of progress to bother much with the dance of courtship. Jayce didn't know how he managed; despite the recency of his own romantic life's stalling, he went home every night craving a warm body to hold, to touch, to-

    "Jayce," Viktor gave him a quizzical look. "Do you need me to check something?"

    --

    JayVik modern university researchers AU. Heavily based on the headcanon that Jayce assumes incorrectly that Viktor has no sex drive. Tags will be updated as chapters are added, and additional warnings will be in chapter notes.
