    Summary

    “You sound nervous, Viktor. Is something –” Then he caught sight of the small hand clutching the side of Viktor’s vest. Jayce’s words stuck in his throat as a face peeped out from behind the scientist, a young girl with startlingly blue hair looking up at him with fear. “Um – who’s this?”

    . . . years later . . .

    “Just this once,” Jinx whispered, “Can’t I prove that I can help my family instead of watching them die?"

    On the night Jinx loses her family, Viktor finds her and takes her in as his apprentice on the Hextech team. But when he falls ill, the lengths she’ll go to save him might just drive her mad…

    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

    “You underestimate yourself,” Viktor replied, his voice quiet but firm. There was a pause, and then, softer, “I could not do this without you, Jayce.”

    Jayce blinked, startled by the sudden gravity in Viktor’s words. He searched Viktor’s face, trying to read the emotion behind his steady gaze, and for a moment, he felt completely disarmed.

    “Well,” Jayce said after a beat, his voice softer now, “good thing you don’t have to.”

    Summary

    The Machine Herald is captured by Piltover after a failed attack on the bridge, and he is mortally wounded in the process. Jayce must risk everything to save him and repair the damage done, racing against the clock as Piltover hunts him down for treason, but the history between them complicates things. Despite his claims that his actions are no longer dictated by emotion, Viktor is still harboring anger and hatred for his exile in the wake of Jinx's attack, and blames Jayce for what happened. But despite it all, they still care about each other (in their own violent, traumatized ways) and as time runs out, necessity forces them to face the past—and each other—if they want to get out of this unscathed.

    Summary

    Six years after he and Viktor part ways on antagonistic terms, Jayce wakes up in the Machine Herald’s medical clinic.

    Jayce desperately wants to rub at his forehead, but the binding at his wrist stops him. He settles for squeezing his eyes shut. “Why?” he asks.

    Viktor is silent for barely a moment. He says, tonelessly, “I assumed this was preferable to dying.”
