Summary
On an expedition into the ruins of what was once the city-state of Piltover, historian Elora discovers two mages, Mel Medarda and Jayce Talis, who have been under a sleeping spell for four hundred years. She insists on bringing the possibly radioactive ancient mages back to her home in the Freljord. Because there's something pulling Elora towards Mel, who speaks as if they already know each other. It's probably the same thing that pushes Jayce towards a professor called Viktor.
Or: Mel and Jayce meet the reincarnations of Elora and Viktor and get a second chance, centuries after the events of Arcane s02e09.

Don't Look Back In Anger by Francium

Summary
After spending decades at someone's throat, when all the anger burns away, what do you do when the ashes feel like love? Can you trust the hands cupping your face, when they've curled around your throat just as easily?
Jayce, despairing and tired, throws himself a two person party as he prepared to shut Hextech down for good. But when the Machine Herald arrives, reconciling between them might not be as easy as just kissing it better.
Written for Bottom Jayce Week, Machine Herald day

Summary
Viktor doesn’t smile. “I just—these Pilties. They have every option, every resource. They live in high rises and pay for water births with coaches who call themselves moon-witches. Meanwhile, patients in Zaun are lucky if they know someone with an intact midwifery license, and even that doesn’t matter when their placental abruption happens at two in the morning and they can’t afford the ambulance.”
Jayce rubs a hand over his face. “Yeah. I mean, I’ve never been to a gynecologist either, but that’s more of a gender crisis thing than a crunchy trad-Pilt thing. You get it.”
He says it lightly, a snort or a roll of Viktor’s eyes expected.
But Viktor just goes very, very still.

Summary
***Winner of Kumoricon's 2025 Fan Fic Contest***
It would be like this forever one day, everything bedrock solid. Cait would wake up and there would be no sick moment of realization, no reacquainting herself with the gaping hole punched through her chest. The wound would heal, the infection would fade. She would look back on events without the feverish certainty that she could have done more, said more. Been more.
She didn’t believe it yet, not all the way, but she didn’t have to. Vi would help her.
Explorations of Cait and Vi's turbulent relationship in the first act of season two. An examination of the grief that slowly poisons their understanding of each other; a reflection on power, and the ways it is abused, denied, and mismanaged. Less of a relationship study than a relationship autopsy.
Also, there are dogs. Illustrated.

Summary
He woke up half-crushed on a futon with Jayce’s head on his shoulder, muttering in his sleep. There was a blue screen flickering in front of them—Hextech, he thought, for a terrified moment, before something in his blood told him they’d fallen asleep watching something together, a movie, which he sort of understood, even if he didn’t think he could explain it.
In the cold glow of the screen, Jayce looked strangely… exposed. It was easier to look at Jayce through the beady white eyes of a god, or his soul in the cosmos, than it was to look at what Viktor had done to him now. For a moment he touched their foreheads together—selfish, selfish—just to feel Jayce’s warmth on his skin. The illusion that he had started something instead of ending it, saved someone instead of ruining him.

Jayce and Viktor wake up in another timeline.
All Viktor wants is to keep him safe.

Summary
Twenty three year old Jayce Talis wakes up on the floor in the middle of his apartment with all his Hextech research gone, missing three days’ worth of time, and a simple message on his blackboard:
VIKTOR WHAT THE HELL? IF YOU COME BACK HERE WAIT FOR ME.
It’s possible he’s been possessed, but that’s not important; his research is missing and a few notes are his only clues. Step one is obvious: find the mystery person ‘Viktor’.

“When do you jerk off?”
Jayce’s mind catches up with his mouth halfway through his sentence. Maybe he should puke again, for tactical reasons. God forbid he doesn’t say something socially suicidal in front of Viktor for a single time tonight.
“Gross. Jayce, what?”
OR;
2005: Jayce and Viktor, roommates at MIT, bind ties between each other’s lives, strangled by both old and new emotions.
2025: A fateful return to Cambridge. Now strangers, Jayce and Viktor attempt to untangle the mistakes of their youth together over one night.

Summary
Viktor had walked into their lab in a good mood to see Jayce bent over, coughing and hacking delicate little red and white flower petals all over their floor. Jayce had noticed the interruption mid-cough and nearly choked on the next round of flora and spit, his eyes gone wide and his face the color of a tomato. Honestly, he'd looked more like Viktor had caught him with his pants around his ankles than with a common psycho-respiratory infliction.
Well in the interest of honesty, Viktor had felt like he'd caught Jayce with his pants down in the middle of an affair.
Those feelings in mind, Viktor feels his younger self can be forgiven for breaking the horrified silence by flatly commenting, "Gross. Try to get over that quickly."

Summary
Viktor is the ideal corporate fuckpig. Mid-thirties, no family, no prospects, drowning in a mix of old and new medical debt that can only be offset by continued allegiance to the company.
His routine ticks along in a single, predictable pattern: he shows up to work, worries about deadlines, keeps his mouth shut, and masturbates until he falls asleep. Every day for nine years now. Every day.
And then Jayce comes along.

Summary
He pictures the funeral sometimes.
He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.
He pictures swallowing them himself.
Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

Summary
Air rasps into dead lungs. It rattles, thin and uneven, dragging through a throat that has forgotten the rhythm of breath. Viktor's eyes fly open—one hazel, fractured with gold. The other milky, its pupil blown wide. His hand claws at Jayce’s wrist, nails splitting the skin in his desperation to cling to something real.
Jayce's breath hitches. He presses closer, forehead welded to Viktor’s, tears carving hot tracks through the grime on his cheeks.
Alive. Alive. Alive. The word beats in his skull like a war drum. Viktor’s hands—those elegant, skeletal hands, ink-stained and scarred—curl limply in Jayce’s grip. They’re colder than they should be, waxy. But they’re his.Jayce chokes on a sob. He is already weeping, already laughing, already pressing their foreheads together like a man drowning in relief. His fingers tighten around Viktor’s, cradling the familiar bones, the shape of his knuckles, the delicate, long lines of his hands—hands that had once held glassware and ink-stained pages, that had traced the fine circuitry of hextech as though it were scripture. Hands that had held Jayce, too.

Summary
Hour #21
The subject’s respiration has surpassed rates measured in multiple previous years. At my most objective, here are the options:- Putting the subject in a vertical position increases respiratory efficiency. Gravity no longer compresses on the lungs and standing allows the diaphragm to move with full lung expansion, optimizing airflow.
- The subject has been under the influence of the agent for nearly a full cycle. The body can be reasonably visualized with the escalation of total light emitted, in which all extremities appear intact with feasible function. The purpose of the experiment is to heal and restore, to an unknown, uncalculated degree.
The conclusion, regardless: Something is happening. This is not for nothing. And you will wake.
any good scientist takes his notes.
