    Summary

    It’s too easy for Jayce to forget, sometimes, that Viktor isn’t nice. Viktor’s good. Viktor’s kind. Viktor wants to lift up the weak and the helpless and cast down the mighty. But he isn’t nice. And he’s only human: sometimes, he takes things too far. Sometimes, Jayce wonders if Viktor pictures perfection as a vast white wasteland: sterile, untouched.

    But Jayce isn’t one to criticise. He, too, has his flaws. That night, Jayce pictures Viktor bent over the welding bench and he takes himself in his hand, moving quick and fast and cruel until he comes. Yes: he, too, has his flaws.

    Or: Jayce is down bad, and Viktor slowly notices.

    Summary

    “So, be honest: is this the worst birthday you’ve ever had?”

    It’s a teasing question, a playful acknowledgement of a rather shit day, but as Jayce rests the champagne bottle between his knees he finds himself giving it serious thought. “Uh, no, probably not. That would be the year I turned nine.”

    Summary

    He’s familiar with the space Viktor takes up, standing next to him by the blackboard or sitting down at the tables. He knows how Viktor will shuffle underneath Jayce’s arm to correct a mistake in his maths, or rewrite a messy theory while Jayce prattles on about the next steps. He knows the surprising sturdiness of Viktor’s cane, as it smacks at his ankles when Jayce doesn’t make room fast enough.

    Viktor is no stranger to Jayce.

    ~~~

    This is just 23k of Jayce being hopelessly in love with Viktor. That's it. That's the fic.

    Summary

    When Viktor and Jayce walk through the door to the Kiramman estate, Caitlyn breaks character for only a moment, grinning and raising her hand up high to wave at them. The sudden movement tears a seam somewhere in the side of Caitlyn’s dress; she hears a ripping sound, and instantly she puts her arm back down. Viktor rolls his eyes good-naturedly, and Jayce smiles.

    -

    or, a family can be a genius from the undercity, piltover's new golden boy, and a misfit with an impeccable bloodline.

    Summary

    Jayce rises from his seat, face set with a soft smile, and holds out his right hand with the palm facing up.

    “Let me teach you how.”

    The pause is long and unrelenting.

    “You are joking,” Viktor manages to say.

    Summary

    "“Mr. Jayce?”

    Peace shattered, but a smile still in place, Jayce turned back to Powder. She had a pensive look on her face, the same one she got when she and Ekko were trying to solve the riddles Viktor would sometimes slip into Jayce’s lunchbag.

    “Yes Powder?”

    “Why did you marry Viktor?”

    “Uh, well,” he started lamely, because wasn't that a loaded question. He crossed the room and came to kneel in front of Powder. He didn’t know much about her family situation, but he knew enough to put it into terms she’d relate to. “We got married for a lot of the same reasons why your dads probably did. We loved each other, and there was someone we needed to take care of, and being married helped make that process a bit smoother. That, and we wanted to take care of each other, too. That’s what marriage is; finding someone you want to love forever and doing it, just like that.”"

    Or; A day in the life of Viktor and Jayce's little family

    Summary

    Viktor doesn’t necessarily understand it, but maybe for once in his stupid life he doesn’t have to understand, can maybe, for once, let go of his obsessive and self-destructive need to define the enigma of human experience in logical terms.

    Jayce and Viktor try (and fail) to have sex. You'll never guess what happens next.

    Summary

    Even if their partnership survives Viktor confessing a feeling Jayce doesn’t have, things would change. Better they stay like this — enough affection to keep Viktor from going elsewhere, never nearly as much as he wants, all taken in a way Jayce doesn’t intend.

    Guilt. Desire. Et cetera.

    Left alone on New Year’s Eve, Viktor takes a trip back to the undercity. But going home again is much harder than leaving — and it hurts so much worse. At least he might finally admit some feelings to his partner at the end of it.

    Summary

    It's as predictable as the laws of physics: a Piltover golden boy should despise a starving inventor from the undercity. But when Viktor's tipped off to a scholar buying strange materials in the Lanes, he's desperate enough to sneak topside and propose a deal. He's not expecting to break every rule he's learned to live by for a man who needs him just as much.

    Or, the Arcane Act 1 AU where Viktor never left the undercity, but he found Jayce anyway.

    Summary

    "I hate to be the one to tell you this but explosives aren't the answer to most scientific inquiries, V."

    "You're right, they're the answer to all of them."

    Jayce paused to look over at him– mouth set in a hard line and one eyebrow raised– and sighed deeply. "I- I don't know what you want me to say to that."

    "A hum of agreement would suffice."

    "I think I need to remove the nitroglycerin from the supply closet."

    Viktor's head popped up. "Our shipment came in?"

    Jayce blinked at him slowly. "No it didn't. Not anymore."

    “I’m not planning your funeral.”

    Summary

    Jaskier gets jumped by a bunch of bandits, who happen to be so dumb as to stab him with an ancient artifact. When he wakes up, the bandits are slaughtered, and Jaskier has a new hunger. He decides he can't and won't live like this, and searches out a witcher to kill him when he's unsuccessful himself. Of course......he finds Geralt, or does Geralt find him?

    ---000---
    When Jaskier wakes up, the light is uncommonly bright to his eyes, and he has to squint against it. He’s not sure he remembers going to sleep the previous night, and briefly accuses himself of gulping down the bottle of Toussainti wine he’d filched from the inn, leaving a few crowns in its place.

    He rubs his hands over his face, and realises that as he does so, the strange metallic scent that hangs in the air gets stronger. When he pulls his hands away to look at his palms, he stiffens. There are red stains on the skin, some of it dried and flaking in the creases.

    It’s very definitely not wine.

    Summary

    Geralt has had a miserable time in Redania, contracts far en few between, and decides to go fill a contract put forth by the Viscount de Lettenhove.
    When the Viscount tells Geralt to name his price, he names a night with him. A night with the Viscount, just to see the other man waver and refuse. To Geralt's surprise, the noble agrees.

    --000--

    “Butcher,” the Viscount breathes out, and Geralt tries his best not to flinch.
    Instead, he looks at the man coolly. The word from the Viscount’s mouth makes him inexplicably angry. He shouldn’t be surprised at the moniker, hasn’t been in a long while, but right now it stings in a new and unexpected way. He’s angry that the man that loves his people so much, has tried to save their children and kill the monster, now isn’t even seeing him as the last resort he was when he was a nameless witcher.

    The viscount blinks dark lashes over his blue eyes and opens his mouth to speak, but Geralt cuts him off.

    “I said I’d take the contract. You said to name my price. Are those still the terms?”

    Summary

    “Witcher, may I offer you, along with your coin, a night in our finest brothel?”

    Geralt narrows his eyes, hums, says, “Fine with just the coin.”

    “I promise you would not be disappointed. You’d have all the amenities. A bath, food, lodgings for the evening. And of course the company of whichever individual you might desire.”

    Geralt almost says no. It would be so much effort, to go to the brothel, to have someone picked out for him, to do the song and dance of what everyone always expects from him. But the free food and bath is enticing, and he’d be a fucking idiot to turn down a free fuck. “Sure,” he mutters. “So long as it’s free.”

    Summary

    When Jaskier is young, he is sold to a slaver to solve his parents' problems with money.
    He ends up at the royal court of Tretogor, a gold-collared bedslave, reserved for the royal line. Unlike the others, Jaskier doesn't settle into his fate, but rebels in what little ways he can.
    It's no wonder then, that when the warlord of the north visits Tretogor for negotiations, Jaskier finds himself in the middle of it all.

    ---000---

    His mother's face is sad, and Julian wishes more than anything he could change that. She tucks a lock of his soft brown hair behind his ear.
    “Remember how you said you wanted to help?”
    Julian nods.
    “There’s someone who… is coming to take a look at you. If you do well, we’ll get enough to pay the rent that’s still due. If we’re very lucky, we’ll get enough to buy back the farm.”
    “What do I have to do?” Julian asks.
    A tear tracks down his mother’s cheek.

    Summary

    Quick as a cat, Geralt is there to catch him. One moment he’s about to crack his head open on the wooden floorboards, and the next he’s wrapped in the witcher’s arms, safe but not yet sound. Jaskier’s skin is warm and flushed. He feels dizzy—woozy, as if he’s consumed an entire bottle of wine. And worst of all, his mind is at war with his body.

    ---

    Someone slips Jaskier a love potion after a performance. It doesn't work quite as intended, because a false love is no match for his feelings for Geralt.
