Summary
"I think I'd like to do it more," Jayce muses.
"What? Cook?"
"Yeah. For you. I mean, for the lab. For us."
--
It's just a hobby. Or at least that's what Viktor keeps telling himself as Jayce starts cooking for him every day. Surely it doesn't mean anything. And surely Jayce won't let it get out of hand. Right? -

Summary
In the dark, the words escape Jayce's mouth like a long-held sigh, a confession of sorts:
"I miss her."
Viktor doesn't ask. He doesn't need to.
"I know." He hesitates for a beat. "It's been five years, Jayce. Maybe you could... write to her."--
Jayce tries to reconnect with his mother, five years after the events that led her and the rest of Runeterra to believe he'd died saving the world from the Machine Herald.

Summary

After Viktor forgets his lunch at home, Jayce finds the perfect excuse to visit him at work for the first time. -

"I did this to her..." Viktor croaked, his chest heaving from another shattering sob.
"What are you talking about?"
"I gave this to her! My lungs... The disease... It was inside me and now she's sick!"--

Summary
Half a decade after Viktor leaves Piltover for good, a fragment of Hexcore permanently adhered to his soul, an old friend comes to him for help. This wouldn't be an issue, if the same old friend hadn't spent the last five years trying to hit him, very hard, with a really big hammer.
“You’re not real,” Viktor repeated, closing his eyes. Even with the knowledge that this was a dream, the gentle touch unraveled him. There was an impact crater where his heart should be.
The calloused pad of Jayce's thumb found the corner of Viktor’s mouth. “All right. I’ll bite – what’s your evidence for this hypothesis?”
Viktor smiled into the touch, felt it tug against Jayce's thumbprint. “Isn’t it obvious? You haven’t tried to kill me yet.” -

Summary
"I’m a doctor.” Viktor says, frowning as one of the latches on Jayce's brace doesn’t close. “I help people with their backs.”
“Doctor…?”
“Dr. Talis.” Viktor says softly. The answer is like a punch to the gut. Jayce has forgotten who he’s talking to. A spouse, in a different life. The notion alone is enough to almost bring those pesky tears back. That insane vulnerability in his brain, the tender and abused place of him that doesn’t know how to quantify such an idea.
Jayce would give anything to Viktor, be anything for Viktor. And in this universe, he’d been his husband. Had given him his name. A gift that has lasted beyond even death.

Summary
After the doctor hurts Rio, a freshly-orphaned Viktor is taken in at The Last Drop. Years later, there's a riot on the bridge.
In which child-Viktor refuses to abandon Silco; an act of devotion that changes the trajectory of Zaun's uprising. While Vander negotiates with Enforcers, Silco single-parents a revolution in the dark. Someone has to fund his son's endless charity work and vaccinate zaunish kids.
There's siblings-of-divorce, waverider eggs, volatile crystals...and a Piltie wandering around the Lanes looking for blue gems and a ghost.

Characterisation to perfection, found family has never kicked my ass this hard good LORD, I had to stop reading and compose myself MULTIPLE TIMES, sometimes SEVERAL times during every chapters because the parenting bits were just... Oh my god
The angst is going to fuck me right up, isn't it? This emotional investment is going to have side effects on ME, more like
Would eat any cut scene like a feral lil gremlin

Summary
“Are you… real?”
Jayce smiles for the first time in recent memory. “I could ask the same thing.”
“You’re supposed to be dead," Viktor tells him.
“Funny,” Jayce says. “We have a way of doing that, don’t we? Not dying.”
Jayce finds himself in a world much like his own, but with the familiar pieces rearranged. All he cares about is Viktor.
or, Jayce and Viktor make it out of the war alive. For Jayce, it was yesterday. For Viktor, it was three years ago.

Dialogue from heaven, characterisation might as well be canon, just *gesturing at the whole thing* chef's kiss all around really
