    Summary

    He allows his fingers to linger for a few seconds, feeling the tips of his ears turn red with embarrassment.

    Jayce smiles but it doesn’t reach his eyes.

    Viktor wants to take his hands and pinch Jayce’s cheeks until he laughs — wants to tug at the corners of Jayce’s lips until he smiles.

    Just as Viktor learns not to flinch, Jayce stops touching him.

    Viktor doesn’t know what he did wrong.

    Short thing featuring touch-starved Viktor.

    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

    Leaving Zaun for the academy is supposed to give Viktor a new life. Instead it drops him into a world where he never quite fits, until he meets the one man who can make it feel like home.

    Or, five times Viktor felt out of place in Piltover, and one time he didn't.

    Summary

    “This is...very different,” he murmured, his accent thick and rolling around the words as if testing them on his tongue. “What’s gotten into you?”

    “Would it really be so bad,” Jayce began, speaking against the edge of Viktor’s lapel. “To share a name along with our dreams? Because I’d gladly take yours if you’d give it to me.”

    Jayce's attempts at getting Viktor out of the lab lead to the pair becoming regulars at a coffee shop near the bridge. Things go well until an innocent misunderstanding nearly throws a cog into everything they've built between them.

    Summary

    Viktor has always been content with his place in the world, overlooked and alone. Now that he has Jayce, he isn't sure how much longer he can stand it. Not when what he wants so desperately, what he knows he can never have, is always right there. Just out of his reach.

    Or: Viktor just wants to be touched. Jayce would be more than happy to help if Viktor would tell him that.
