    Summary

    She leans back, letting the flickering lantern cast her face in shadow. “You should’ve stayed in Targon, little mage. This empire is so much bigger than you.”

    He doesn’t flinch at the press of the blade to his throat, though he swallows against it, mouth dry and eyes steady. They both feel they’ve learned something about the other, a kind of gut-deep knowledge a person only lets slip when they see no future ahead.

    Years later, the Black Rose will conclude that Ambessa Medarda met her mage lover on the windy shores of Basilich. A lucky connection. A single, serendipitous moment of unity.

    This is not, strictly speaking, entirely accurate.

    Summary

    How is he even supposed to respond to that?

    Thanks, I’m well aware of how people see me and how they want me. The one fumbling entanglement in the basement of a house party was enough for me though, because she found it weird when I started crying and then got so mad that I wouldn’t scent her that she left.

    And I only did it because she smelled so good, like a river, like fresh cut grass, and it made me so jealous I was dizzy with it. I wanted to be her, and I thought that was close enough to wanting her, and it wasn’t, and it took five minutes for my knot to go down after I locked myself in the bathroom to jerk off and I had a panic attack the whole time and then I threw up in the sink and vowed to be celibate for the rest of my life.

    “She’s not my type either,” he settles on, maybe more melancholic than he means to be.

    Summary

    The source of the light stands before him, resplendent and whole, his brows creased prettily in worry. Jayce looks like moonlight incarnate, his body made up of twisting mother-of-pearl tendons from which an eerie bioluminescence emanates. It crawls across his cheekbones like a lover’s caress, the edges where nacre meets skin blurry and indistinct.

    A hundred fairytales from Viktor’s childhood flit through his head. The tear of a unicorn. The call of a siren. Jayce looks like every delicate, temptuous thing for which men dash themselves across the rocks in an effort to possess.

    He is also, Viktor distantly notes, completely naked.

    Summary

    Later, Zhao Xin will wonder if anyone on deck knew that they were in Noxian waters – if anyone had any idea of what that could mean. If anyone thought it was worth bringing up at all, if they bit their tongues at the last second. Sure that their captain knew what he was doing. Sure that he carried some favour with the gods. Or perhaps simply sure that the things that were to come didn’t happen to men like them.

    Here is a spoiler: Nothing can be done. No level of reminiscence or regret can undo what is already unfolding, already written.

    Summary

    Piltover’s Defender of Tomorrow dies on Wednesday evening. By Thursday, the announcement hits the morning gazette, and it won’t leave the news cycle until well past the Sunday edition.

    Zaun’s Machine Herald scoffs the first time he reads it, tossing the stained and torn paper that his apprentice brought down the conveyor behind his shoulder. He is rewiring his left arm again, trying to iron out why his sensors detect a microsecond’s delay between the synapses firing in his brain and the acknowledgement by his mechanical nerves.

    “Natural causes,” he scoffs. “He is what? Sixty years old? Men that rich do not die that young.”

    Summary

    That night, Mel dreams of Elora, wearing the plain white shift she sleeps in, with her hair down from its regular bun and blowing softly in the breeze. She’s standing underneath the pink-blossomed trees that decorate the Ionian soap boxes. Tall and willowy, she looks perfectly at peace surrounded by the grey-brown trunks and their sweet smelling blooms. She doesn't look at Mel – it's like Mel isn't even there. She's just observing, as if she’s watching it all through a window.

    Summary

    “And it’s…” He fumbles for the words. “Mine?”

    “Yes, Viktor, what did I just say?”

    Viktor doesn’t respond. He’s a little stunned. He’s extremely stunned. The sperm creation was something– something selfish. Cosmetic, more than anything else. Good for his ego, if not particularly useful. He wanted to cum like a cis man. He wanted to see if he could do it. Well, it turns out he could.

    Summary

    Jayce buries his head in his knees, the gesture's impact lessened by the fact that he can only bend one leg, the bad one still held out at an angle with the brace half undone. "Viktor, I mean this in the nicest way possible, you have a blank mask for a face and no genitals."

    They sit with that statement for a moment, neither willing to break the heavy silence.

    Jayce is the one to crack. "Can we pretend I didn't say that?" he asks, "I wanted- I was going to... ease into it."

    *

    After everything, Jayce and Viktor wake up in a field - stop me if you've heard this one before.

    Summary

    Dolokhov is sitting on the edge of Pierre Bezukhov's wedding bed, leaning forward to watch the man’s wife remove her makeup in her vanity mirror. Her husband is downstairs in his study, likely halfway to drinking himself to death, and Dolokhov is in his bedroom, feeling for all the world like the cat who got the cream.

    Summary

    "I thought Hélène was joking about that," he says, cruel delight once again twisting his features into that familiar smirk, "You always find a way to surprise me, Fedya."

    His face is burning. he doesn't dare move. He is painfully hard. His head feels completely empty of any possible retorts. He wets his lips with his tongue. He can't take his eyes off Anatole. Neither of them move, then Anatole tilts his head, condescending grin still alight on his face.

    "Well, dog?" he says, listening to the way Dolokhov's breath catches, "What are you waiting for?"
