Summary
The moment he arrived in New York City, fresh off the boat with his posh accent and lavish style of dress, he was a beacon to every charlatan, every conman, every scoundrel, rogue, and swindler in the entirety of the city, each of them looking to make a quick buck off a naïve tourist. And, as Maxwell is so fond of reminding him, the same for literally any other much more nefarious individual skulking about. Okay, he supposes he could have been a bit more discreet. If only to have avoided his current situation, which he still firmly believes wasn’t really his fault. Really, who would want to be kidnapped?!

Summary
Jayce was staring at the wall when Viktor found him, stubble already overgrown, hair shorn. He looked broken, fragile. A lost little boy thrown to wolves. Viktor had the ridiculous urge to pull him close, stroke his hair, and let him fall asleep in his lap, safe from harm. He didn’t know the man, only his journal.
“I hope I am not interrupting,” Viktor said, halfway between the dark humor of his home and Piltover politeness.
Jayce’s hazel eyes swung to him, bloodshot and puffy. He shook his head once, slowly, as if he were ashamed. The urge to cradle him grew stronger, a living thing in his chest.
Jayce is thrown into Stillwater after his experiment kills a teenage girl. Viktor finds his journal and becomes obsessed, retreating to Zaun to continue his work with the help of his old mentor. It only takes seven years of obsessive work and a jailbreak to reunite them.

Summary
On the brink of what could be the most violent war Piltover and Zaun have seen in the current age, an experiment goes horribly wrong sending an arcane blast throughout the lab and twisting Jayce's body into something else. Overwhelmed by a sense of dread, Jayce flees to the only person he can trust with arcane destruction. The Machine Herald of Zaun, his ex-partner, Viktor.
OR, sometimes you find yourself happily enjoying Team Fight Tactics and get a shapeshift group of which Jayce is part of only to find he doesn't turn into a cool animal or golem, he just goes from ranged to melee fighter and you get so mad you make a whole story about it.

Summary
Jayce Talis is a brilliant alpha… but only at work. A young councilor, a prodigy engineer, the gem of Piltover… and at the same time, a complete emotional wreck since his parents died. He's buried himself in alcohol, casual sex, and a mountain of assistants who quit so fast that HR has a pre-printed resignation form with blanks for a name, a date, and tear stains.
When Caitlyn Kiramman sees that her best friend is closer to meeting his maker than he is to celebrating another anniversary as the "Man of Progress," she decides to take matters into her own hands. With Mel's help, she hires Viktor Herald, a university omega from Zaun who has more patience than years on this earth, most of which have been spent providing for his younger sisters. His new job? To keep Jayce from self-destructing before he can invent the next technological revolution or kiss another omega with a forgettable name.
Jayce can't decide if he wants to fire Viktor… or beg him to stay forever.

Summary
"Let him think I hate him. If that’ll stop him from risking his neck for me over and over again, then it’s a sacrifice I don’t have to think twice about."
—
Arthur finds out Merlin has magic. He also finds out how often Merlin risked his life for him and so, he does the only thing he can think of to protect him: banishment.
Hurt and angry, Merlin leaves and swears to not look back.
But, when two years pass and Morgana shows up at Merlin’s door, urging him to fill Gaius’ position as Court Physician, Merlin agrees. He really doesn’t know why, but Arthur is sure Merlin would do just about anything to get on his nerves.
Unprepared for the shock of seeing Merlin back in the castle, Arthur is forced to speed along his plans to lift the ban on magic. But between stubborn councilors, a mysterious plague, a still angry Merlin, and Morgana being Morgana, Arthur is fairly certain he’ll lose his mind before the first year of his reign even ends.

Summary
It’s been years since Jayce was the Golden Boy of Westworld corporate. Nowadays, it’s rare that anyone sees the reclusive genius programmer. Anyone who isn’t a host, anyway. He has his favorites that he dotes on, of course. Most often the older models – those whose guts are still steel, pistons, and gears. Those who still have reveries buried deep in their code...
Viktor is of course his absolute number one. The host is just a scenery piece; a nerdy small-town scientist often targeted by the rowdier guests. The exact kind of guests that Jayce despises. One day, Viktor improvises in a way that takes Jayce aback. Already infatuated with his creation, Jayce's desire to see the host grow and learn cracks the event horizon wide open – leaving both host and programmer to come apart at the rivets.
