Summary
"If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will of course frantically try to clamber out. But if you place it gently in a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low, it will float there quite placidly. As the water gradually heats up, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot bath, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly allow itself to be boiled to death." --Daniel Quinn, 'The Story of B'

Summary
Viktor huffed with the smile of a man who wasn't the least bit defeated, even strewn across the floor of his destroyed lab—and on the desk, where his claw had landed.
As languidly as he could manage, Viktor tilted his head, his eyes narrowed. “Why would you ask such a stupid question,” he asked softly, his tone aimed for Jayce’s own equipment. “Why would I alter it? It was already perfect. Or have you forgotten?”
++
Jayce comes to visit Viktor in his lab after their divorce and it goes... quite well, actually.

Summary
"I should have known you'd crack the code on the door one day," Jayce says without turning, reaching for a pen to highlight a section of his diagram.
"To crack it again would require you to change it in the first place."
"I shouldn't need to," Jayce snorts. "Besides, you haven't broken in for years."
***
It's been ten years since Jayce Giopara last saw Viktor. Ten years and he no longer knows what he's doing with his life. And now here is the Machine Herald, standing uninvited in his workshop offering to patch him up after his latest attempt to play Defender of Piltover, and that's nothing if not awkward.
So Jayce is older, maybe a little wiser, and the grey in his hair is making him sick with fear of the future and what his place in it is supposed to be. Viktor doesn't age, and for his part he thinks the grey streaks are hot. He'll die before he admits that though.
Or, the more things change, the more the pair of them drown. Maybe they can try drowning together.
