Summary
“How do you do it? Control it, make it do whatcha want, stop it from taking over you and control you, keep it from going all…bleh.”
“Bleh?”
“You know what I mean.”
He snickered, shaking his head, but the smile slipped from his lips as they settled into a neutral line. He leaned on his cane to look up at the sky.
“I don’t. I mean, not really. People think it’s this majestic, all knowing force, but it’s a lot more like a child, always watching, always learning. When it connects with us, it tunes into every fiber of our being. It doesn’t know anything at first, we shape it with our every thought, our every use, every action. We’re its compass, moral or otherwise. You know what they say, what goes around comes around, that’s very literal here. I just…learned that a lot sooner than others do. They take from the world, so it learns to take. I give of myself, and only myself, so it gives in return…"
He glanced down at his hands, examining them carefully as they glowed faintly in the moonlight.
"...at least, that’s what I tell myself. That’s what I hope is the truth.”

Or, what might've happened if Viktor's path with the arcane looked a little different.

Summary
Friends make friends stuff all the time, and Jayce did break Viktor's cane. It'd be a nice thing to do. A cane, plus some cool tools, and Jayce will be able to know he's a good friend. He likes this plan.
(Or, Jayce makes a new cane for Viktor. He then makes some more stuff. It spirals from there very, very quickly.)

Summary
When Mel Medarda realizes that she's completely ignored Viktor's potential as a scientist, as an academic, she quickly seeks to remedy that. He may not be Jayce Talis, but he has his own brain, and he seems to be far more useful than most think. She's a practical woman, after all- it would be useful to have another genius on her side.
And when she realizes Viktor is also in love with Jayce Talis, and Jayce loves them both? She's still practical, after all-- she sees an opportunity.
(Or, Mel and Viktor are more similar than one might think. That applies to who they love, but it applies to how they love too.)

Summary
It’s the afterlife, probably, and Viktor is having an identity crisis (as one does when they become a robot, god, and Something-Else in the span of a few months).

Summary
“Your eyes won’t lie… when your mind is open, Jayce.” He raises his stave, a shepherd’s rod ready to guide humanity into a golden age, to herd them with the care he was never granted without having to give up some part of himself in exchange. They rise, as they had risen that first day together, reality swelling with the shimmering blue fruits of their efforts.
Soon, they’re tangling together in the air, a writhing mass of limbs against limbs, metal against skin. When they burst through the ceiling, shattering yet another structure that prevented them from reaching higher than they were permitted, he looks down on Jayce’s trembling form. He wonders if this is how the Pilties felt seeing him limp through their streets after his partner, pretending he didn’t know that they only kept him around because he was Jayce’s favorite pet.
Viktor will be a much more attentive master than Jayce had been back then.
~
Viktor becomes a saint, then a martyr, then a man again.
