    Summary

    There are two things every Zaunite knows.

    One: You deserve nothing.

    Two: You will take it anyway.

    So when Viktor realizes he wants Jayce, the difference in their stations is entirely irrelevant. He's never wasted time in going after what he wants.

    Summary

    It's easy enough for Jayce to buy a proper coffee maker for the lab. He and Viktor work a lot of late nights, after all, and sometimes they need a pick me up. It's easy enough for him to rationalize it as a gesture of friendship.

    He can't really explain the blankets, though. Or the chocolate bars. Or the snacks. Or that time he offered a leg massage.

    (Jayce is legendarily down bad for Viktor. This manifests in him making the lab as sort of a second home. Thankfully, Viktor notices.)

    Summary

    It is difficult to understand a person like Viktor. He is the smartest person Jayce knows, that's for certain, but it's difficult to say anything for certain beyond that. He's proud of his work, but he outright rejects any opportunities to brag about his work at galas. He's cold and sharp when he interacts with people, but he makes time to think about every child in the Undercity. He's mesmerizing, but he's also the guy who will whack Jayce in the shins if Jayce makes one more wrong remark about an equation. Jayce can't help but fall for him.

    (A collection of moments where Jayce learned more about Viktor as a person. It is hard not to observe someone as unique as Viktor; it is harder not to fall in love with him.)

    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

    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.)
