Summary
“What is he like?” Viktor asks, as they're seated around the fire for the first night of their journey. Besides a small tent for him, they are devoid of any luxuries. He's sore and tired, feeling the first ounce of regret at refusing a litter or a wagon.
“Who?” Jayce asks in return, looking up from where he's preparing their dinner, a rabbit they'd chanced upon earlier.
“My intended, your king. I've never met him.”
“His majesty is-” Jayce looks like he's thinking too carefully. “Generally well liked. Tall.”
“That's all you can say?” Viktor snorts. “You either don't know him well or don't like him.”In which the man tasked with escorting Prince Viktor to his new life in Piltover is someone he adores

Summary
“Is that… you, Viktor?”
It was barely more than a whisper, but he almost couldn’t bring himself to ask in the first place. The question scared him, the coming answer he feared even more. He knew the question was callous and loaded, but he had to know.
Those warm eyes faltered and became reproachful, they averted with a look of guilt, his eyebrows scrunching together. Viktor hugged his good knee tighter to his chest, his short and shallow breathing and his tightened lips betraying the hurt he felt at the question. The creases at the side of his nose deepened in dismay in the way only Viktor's face suited. All of these things told Jayce everything he needed desperately to know; this wasn’t the serene herald, or even the maniacal machine herald.
This was Viktor.

Silver Tongue, Golden Eyes by star_mp3
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)
01 Aug 2025

Summary
In which Viktor and Jayce have an inconvenient misunderstanding over a theft-that-was-not-a-theft, a stubborn rivalry of pure will and patience (or the complete lack of it), and various verbal and physical fights.
Viktor doesn't forgive, Jayce doesn't forget.
This, unfortunately, leads to a very tense rescue mission. But, the aforementioned rescue mission–depending on how they play their cards–could lead to a break in their conflict. Or a knife fight.
Or both.
Probably both.
☆or☆
Viktor has an impressive collection of weapons, primarily consisting of lead bullets and a silver tongue. He also has an impressively short temper when it comes to stupidity. He's decided that Jayce is full of it.
Of both stupidity and bullshit.
And, no matter how many times Viktor threatens him with a blade, Jayce, for some reason beyond Viktor's understanding, won't shut up.
Be it a knife to the throat or something else, Viktor is determined to find a way to make him.
☆
Featuring a violent disdain that melts into something foreign; the notorious 'only one bed' trope, but make it cowboy; and an abundance of commas, repetitive themes, and a mildly poetic chaos.

Summary
Naph thrusts the Piltie newspaper in his face. Plastered on the front page is a photo of Jayce, unsurprisingly, but upon further inspection, Viktor notices a smaller figure pressed against his side. A young girl stands next to his best friend turned nemesis. The last time Viktor checked, Jayce hated children, but here in the photo, the man looked completely at ease, an easy smile spread across his handsome face.
There’s only one good explanation for all of this: the little girl is Jayce’s kid.
Or, Viktor thinks Jayce has a kid. What’s the best course of action? Getting drunk and breaking into his lab, of course. Features exasperated children, dysfunctional adults, and a wall filled with photos of a certain Man of Progress.

Because Viktor knows this has to end.
Or: Jayce finds an injured mer Viktor stranded on the beach. Both of their lives change for the better.

Summary
Viktor knew how he looked. With his sharp angles and hollowed cheeks and colt-like limbs, he was a serpentine god with all his alabaster beauty.
The nobles whispered about it. The investors watched Viktor move, fascination warring with discomfort. The Council scoffed at the idea of a Zaunite on their board—until they saw him.
Exotic. Enthralling. An exquisite thing to be coveted for themselves.
Viktor had once despised it.
Despised the way they stared, the way their fascination was always tinged with something possessive, as if he were a rare specimen on display. Loathed the murmurs in the Academy halls, the furtive glances that dogged him everywhere he went.
Now?
Now, he used it.
If they should lust after him, they did so at their own peril.
Desire was a fundamental human weakness. A distraction. A vulnerability. And if Jayce Talis was to prove useful, then Viktor would use every weakness he had.

Summary
"You’ve got one of these puppies, don’t you?” she asked, her tone almost dismissive.
“Well, yes, but that’s not the point!” Jayce stammered, his words spilling over one another in a rush. “Dr. Heimerdinger specifically said I’m not ready for this. I didn’t even pass the psych evaluation! My synchronization rate is below standard, and—”
“Monday,” she cut him off, her voice flat and uncompromising. “Helipad. In blue.”

Jayce is tasked to work with the son of the Olo’eyktan, Viktor, to get better understanding of the Na'vi culture.

Summary
"Jayce?"
This time, his voice is effective. Weary but exponentially warm golden-brown eyes flit up from the mess of gears and screws Jayce is carefully accounting for, a scar-nicked brow turns up in wholesome attentiveness as he tunes in to his companion's query.
"Hm?" Comes a still partly-distracted response.
Viktor makes a little sound partway between an exhale and a chuckle.
"I said," He begins again. "I believe that I ran into an old colleague of yours this morning."
Or,
Jayce struggles to deal with an old headache. An old headache that might just want to sleep with his lab partner.

Summary
“Father Viktor has brought back all those programs you whined about missing. The East Hall is being converted into a soup kitchen as we speak, and after Mass there’s going to be an open-doors Christmas meal,” his mother says wistfully, drinking in a sip from her mug.
Jayce is going to have to see that for himself. His high income neighborhood and the prestigious, self-righteous families that attend the Church? Rubbing elbows with people in need for the holidays?
Maybe he really does need to meet Father Viktor. And shake his hand.
─── ⋆⋅ ♰ ⋅⋆ ───
Or: Jayce comes home for the holidays after a breakup to find a new priest at his childhood Catholic church. Father Viktor is not the kind of person Jayce ever expected to be a priest, but he has a dream to change Jayce's hometown for the better, and he decides to do everything he can to help. The more he helps, the more Jayce sees glimpses of Viktor, the man, not the priest. And the more glimpses he sees of Viktor, the more Jayce is so, so fucked.
