Summary
Piltover is the City of Progress, but its politics are less than progressive. Jayce Talis, newly promoted to Councilor, is determined to change that, but the rest of Piltover stands in his way. By rooting out corruption and fighting for better conditions in Zaun, Jayce has placed a target on his back. After an attempt on his life, Viktor decides to take Jayce’s protection into his own hands, crafting a suit of metal and steel and Hextech. There’s only one problem—Jayce has no idea who the scary robot man who keeps rescuing him is, and Viktor is determined to keep it that way.
But as the danger around Jayce increases, and the Machine Herald’s renown and infamy in Zaun and Piltover grow, can Viktor keep up this double life? Or are the rumors of the Machine Herald and Jayce just putting them in more danger?
Meanwhile, Jayce finds himself torn—so much face-to-mask contact with the Machine Herald has awakened a burgeoning desire inside him that he has long thought he held only for his partner, who has no idea of his feelings. Will Jayce be forced to choose between the best friend he ever had and his new, mysterious savior?

Summary
“At least something beautiful grew inside you,” Jayce muses. “He kept you here in the sunshine, full of flowers.”
He shifts, moving closer, curling his body around the kneeling corpse. “Were you scared, at the end?” He blinks, looks down as he swallows back a lump. “Did you still have hope? That you could save him, before he turned you into this—or did you know he was gone?”
Keeping his head pillowed in the moss of his counterpart’s shoulder, Jayce reaches out to gently brush the back of his knuckles against the outstretched hand. “I hope, at least…” He sighs, drawing the words up from deep in his chest like poison from a wound. It’s just a dream—he can admit this in a dream. “If I fail, do you think he’ll grow flowers for me too?”
Silence, undercut with the buzz of insects and the roar of the storm below answers him.
“Ha,” Jayce says, huffing a laugh. “Yeah, probably not.”
—
Jayce dreams of his own corpse, kneeling in defeat for eternity in the ruined future. And then, eventually, he dreams of something more.

Summary
“Touch me, please,” he begs, crying openly now. “Viktor, please, I need you inside me—”
He needs more than that. He needs Viktor to crack him open like an egg and swallow whatever foul black tar clings to his insides—he needs Viktor to close those big hands around him and crush him like an insect—he needs Viktor to pull his arms and legs off like a sadistic child with their favorite toy and put him back together, to fix him—he needs—
Weeks after Jayce wakes up on the roof of the Hexgates alone save for a mildly concussed Ekko, he is deep in mourning for his partner, seemingly lost to the Arcane. Jayce is still grieving when alarms sound out over the city. Something has been spotted on the horizon—a giant metal construct with strange gold and greyish-purple skin—and it’s headed right towards Piltover.

There’s a ghost in his living room.
Stop. Back up.
There’s another ghost in his living room.
When Steve sees a ghost with Bucky’s face through the smoke and carnage of the causeway, it shouldn’t shock him as much as it does. After all, Bucky’s shade has been with him since he woke up from the ice.

Summary
Jayce has learned the odds and ends of his leg; what pains it, makes it worse for the evening, what's best for it throughout the day. He's gotten better at ignoring the hallucinations, barely blinking at the shapes and figures that visit him and taunt him from universes his mind still seems partially stuck in. He's made peace with Viktor's shape, the inhuman face of him made wholly different yet the heart of him still the same.
But the way Viktor stares at him, glaring, hungry like his hands itch to grab Jayce again, hurt him again... That, he can't quite reconcile.
Nor how he'd give anything for Viktor to do it.

Summary
All things considered, this would be some shit that happened to him.
Ripped through an arcane anomaly at a speed most would consider to be wholly unnecessary and honestly? A little bit rude. Deposited unceremoniously on the floor of some jackass that was supposed to be this universe’s version of him. Check. Coming to blows within the hour, and nearly half a dozen times again in the seven days since. Arguing with Jayce Giopara was just a daily occurrence now.
And Jayce Talis was tired of it.
________
The one where they're trapped in a cabin and Giopara realizes the pain in his ass from this past week is an omega and looks really good wearing his jacket.

Summary
Jayce Talis hasn’t skated in 147 days.
But he still comes here. Most mornings, just before sunrise. Climbs to the top bleacher like he’s surveying a holy ruin. One leg strapped in carbon and velcro. The other twitching with the echo of routines he used to run in his sleep. The ache is familiar now. A quiet, persistent hum beneath the ribs.
He used to own this place. The rink, the ice, the silence. It bowed beneath him like it was lucky to be chosen. Every jump was a threat, every spin a dare. He hadn’t realized how much of his sense of self came from the sound of applause.
Now the silence feels accusatory.
But still — he comes.
Today, though, there’s someone else on the ice.

Summary
Jayce Talis has a problem. Two of them, in fact.
Problem #1: Jayce is paired with Ekko for Heimerdinger’s capstone engineering course. But Ekko isn’t the problem here: It’s Heimerdinger’s response to their new project, which results in him confiscating Jayce’s life’s work on Hextech and taking it who knows where.
Enter Viktor: Ekko’s reclusive roommate at Zeta Omega Nu who just so happened to be Heimerdinger’s assistant until a recent falling out left them at odds. With Viktor’s help, Jayce is sure he can get back his research and achieve his Hextech dream.
Problem #2: Jayce needs to get fucked. Badly.
Enter Viktor: Ekko’s best friend who happens to be Jayce’s every fantasy brought to life. But what business does a good boy like Jayce Talis have chasing after punk boys with tattoos and bad attitudes on the verge of expulsion?
If Jayce could just find a way to talk to him, Viktor could be the solution to all of Jayce’s problems. Except…Jayce has already been texting Viktor, pretending to be someone else. Because as far as he knows, Viktor's only interested in girls.
So, make that three problems. Maybe even four.

Summary
“Not to be dramatic, but you scared a couple years off my life.”
“You are very dramatic.” Viktor tilted his head. “But if you ask me whether I am fine again, I will hit you with my cane.”
The words were out of his mouth before he’d even had the chance to process, and he nearly froze, not sure what possessed him to say such a thing. He opened his mouth, ready to do damage control, before—
Jayce barked out a laugh, loud and unrestrained.
“Yeah, well. Sorry for worrying about my partner.” Even through the faint sarcasm of the statement, the words were suffused with such fond, familiar warmth that Viktor felt his breath catch in his chest.
Partner?
Well. That certainly explained the touch. And the warmth in his voice. And the way Viktor leaned toward him instead of away— an innate response. This, at least, made sense now. Viktor had not dared to include this option as one of his preliminary hypotheses.
They were together. Dating. Whatever the most adequate term would be.
OR: Viktor gets amnesia, logically concludes he and Jayce are together, and starts running experiments to confirm it. Jayce is whipped. That's the fic.
