    Summary

    Viktor knew this feeling, knew it intimately; it was fear. And not just fear—terror, dread, existential mortification. He’d known these things, on some level, of course he’d known. Of course Jayce still loved him, and of course he still loved Jayce. But they didn’t say these things to each other anymore, they couldn’t. The politics of their two cities and their two hearts had taken a molten blade to that string tying them together, and cauterized it in the process. They couldn’t open up this wound, they can’t, they can’t, they can’t…

    Summary

    Jayce just smiles again. Viktor knows he’ll never earn that expression. No matter what he does, he’ll never, ever earn it. Every time he sees it it’ll be another penny in the bank of Viktor Having Things He Doesn’t Deserve.

    Or: post S2, Viktor and Jayce are restored to mortal bodies, and Viktor has to deal with his guilt (or not).

    Summary

    “We can rest now, Viktor.” Jayce grabs his partner’s face, presses their foreheads together as relief washes over him like a tidal wave. It’s over. “We can finally, finally rest.”

    The words are hardly out of his mouth before he is gasping in surprise, Viktor’s hand suddenly behind his neck, his lips pressed into Jayce’s own. Jayce’s eyes fly open for only a moment- a single moment for the shock to wash over him, for the fire in his core to become a blaze-

    And then he’s responding in kind, his eyes sliding shut as he pulls Viktor into him, his mouth parting in invitation for the one person who’s never needed such formalities, who has always held the key, if only he’d ever dared to use it.

    or: Jayce and Viktor’s existence continues, somewhere out in the cosmos

    Summary

    “I’ll… I'll get you some food,” Jayce said slowly after a moment. “I… it’s really good to see you awake, Viktor.”

    I don’t understand, thought Viktor as he gazed at Jayce’s completely open face. How could you feel that way? After everything I've done?

    (Jayce and Viktor don't disintegrate when they destroy Viktor's army. Viktor learns what it means to be taken by the hand and dragged into the light, whether he likes it or not.)

    Summary

    It is painfully obvious after that.

    Jayce puts lemon and a tablespoon of honey in Viktor's morning tea. He polishes Viktor's leg brace and replaces the joint mechanism beside his knee when he notices it begin to squeak. He worships not only the moles below Viktor's right eye and near the left side of his lips, but also the ones littering his chest and limbs. He has memorized exactly where each one is, even.

    For no apparent reason, it is unnerving. Viktor lets it happen, but comprehends his partner's actions with a sort of detachedness, as if he stumbled into the wrong universe one day and never left.

    Seems like he chose the best possible universe to go mad in.

     

    or: Viktor comes to the realization that Jayce loves him no matter what, inside and out. He must reconcile himself to this.
