    Summary

    It's 1997. God is real, and He is in your cereal, your radio, the glint of headlights caught in roadkill eyes. In the hum of cicadas and the low pulse of FM static. He is in the rust on your daddy's tools, the warm plastic of the truck dashboard, the syrup-thick silence that settles over the hills come sundown. If you're listening proper, you can hear Him in the drip of the kitchen tap, the way it ticks time like a metronome. Keeps beat for the loneliness.

    Jayce Talis lives alone in the hills, content to keep to himself, his Bible, and the quiet work of tending land too stubborn to yield much. Then one summer evening, the church drops a half-starved stranger on his porch. Viktor- sharp-tongued, bird-boned and unrepentant- is the kind of man Jayce was raised to turn away from. But the mountains have a way of stretching out time and making space for things that don’t belong, and the more Viktor learns to live, the more he makes Jayce remember what he's spent years trying to forget.

    Summary

    Jayce wakes up after the arcane explosion, except- he is alone.

    Determined to find Viktor, he seeks shelter in what appears to be an abandoned house in the middle of a meadow.

    As the days and weeks go by, Jayce realizes, the house might be bigger than it seems (and Viktor might be closer that he thought).

    ----

    Or a post-finale fic inspired by House of Leaves, where Jayce is haunted by his mistakes and his desires.

    Summary

    When the war ends, Viktor leaves Jayce behind and disappears.

    Jayce searches for him through all timelines and possibilities, and tries to put the broken pieces of Viktor (and himself) back together.

    He just didn't expect to wind up in the past and meet a younger Viktor before his apartment exploded, nor the events he would unwittingly set in motion.

    "Goodnight, Jayce," Viktor breathes.

    The last thing he knows is a gentle caress against his forehead. Cold. But tender, featherlight. Afraid.

    And he bolts awake in the dark, only a mere few hours later, sweating in the cold of the night.

    Alone.

    Summary

    Jayce never really believed in ghosts.

    But after Viktor dies, the house won’t stop echoing. A familiar voice in the hallway. Two cups left out. The dent of a body on Viktor’s side of the bed. And eventually, the voice becomes clearer. The silence begins to answer back.

    And maybe—if Jayce keeps the curtains drawn, the rug crooked, the cardigan folded just right—Viktor will stay.
