Summary
His living heart had hurt, and the new one felt strange: he could feel the clockwork and the gears in his chest where there had once been nothing but messily squeezing muscle, and at that first tickticktick he felt the sick swooping rightness of it so strongly that every moment on either side of it went white with euphoria.
Linear memory's overrated, anyway.

Summary
Jayce Talis made his fortune with the Hexgates, but is now an indolent playboy, as corrupt and scheming as the rest of Piltover's elite; at least by day. By night he is the Defender of Tomorrow, using secret Hextech weaponry to strike back against the city's oppressors.
The Herald fights for the people of the Undercity every night, using strange rune magic to overwhelm the rampant crime. By day he is just Viktor, a wearied scientist running a medical clinic for those who cannot afford care.
The Defender and Herald are bitter enemies, only restrained by the thin truce between their cities. But when a class war begins to loom once again, the two are forced to work together to save both their respective homes.

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.

The semi-sentient god that posesses Chuuya is one that Dazai's family has worshipped for centuries. Take the Mafia's most powerful duo and throw them into an undercover mission disguised as traumatized teenagers at U.A. High for aspiring heroes.
(OR: Dazai worships Arahabaki. Chuuya carries Arahabaki. "What do you mean we need to infiltrate the heroes?")
"And this pure, brutal love, like everything holy, burns the eyes of Humans who observe it, that's why they'll never see the terrible beauty of it all."

Summary
When Jayce was twelve, his father taught him that they should always help the less fortunate, to put hammers in the hands of the people, and be proud of their work. Jayce reminded himself of that, after losing him. All he had to remember his father by fit in a small trunk.
When Jayce turned eighteen, he made his first breakthrough with Hextech. For Zaun.
(Without any relation, when Powder turned eighteen, she earned the title Woman of Progress.)
Instead of staying topside, the Talis family takes their business where it's needed: across the bridge. This doesn't just alter the course of Jayce's life. Or: A Jayce-Jinx Role Reversal AU.

Summary
Run, boy, run — this world is not made for you. Run, boy, run — don't let them stop you. Build a new one.
Zaun isn’t kind to dreamers. It grinds them down, leaves them hollow. But when Sevika finds a runaway boy clutching a broken rune and a brighter kind of fury, she makes a choice that will change everything: for him, for her, for Zaun itself.
Jayce is too loud, too clever, too full of fire. He talks too much, fixes everything he touches, and never quite learns how to give up, not on himself, not on people. He should have been swallowed whole by the Undercity. Instead, he manages to craft something new inside it.
Over four years, through rust and fire, Jayce becomes more than a survivor. He becomes a Zaunite. And with Sevika, scarred, sharp, and just as stubborn, he finds the one thing neither of them expected: family.
This is a story about invention, rebellion, and healing. About the blood it takes to change the world, and the love that makes it worth it.

Summary
“So, run it by me one more time.”
Vi paced the length of the room with her chin pinched firmly between her fingers. She had been tracing a wide oval on the floor, her boots clanking heavily with every step. They had been over the plan several times already, Viktor lamented soundlessly, but he understood her nerves. Ekko, who was busy spinning himself in one of Viktor’s office chairs, slowed to a stop with an exaggerated groan, dragging the toe of his shoes along Viktor’s floor. “Vi, how many more times are you gonna make us—”
“Until it’s perfect, Ekko.” Vi interrupted brusquely. “Everyone needs to be on the same page about what they’re doing, where they’re supposed to be, and what we’re after. We’re not gonna get another shot at this for months if we fail.”
--
OR: The kids from Zaun have a plan—find whatever Jayce Talis has been working on and steal it. The Progress Day Gala is the perfect opportunity to do so. The only issue? Viktor has to attend to "present" his research to Heimerdinger. He should be in and out quickly—just long enough to get Vi into place and dip. If all goes smoothly, he'll never have to interact with Jayce Talis at all. Simple, right?

Summary
Viktor knew how he looked. With his sharp angles and hollowed cheeks and colt-like limbs, he was a serpentine god with all his alabaster beauty.
The nobles whispered about it. The investors watched Viktor move, fascination warring with discomfort. The Council scoffed at the idea of a Zaunite on their board—until they saw him.
Exotic. Enthralling. An exquisite thing to be coveted for themselves.
Viktor had once despised it.
Despised the way they stared, the way their fascination was always tinged with something possessive, as if he were a rare specimen on display. Loathed the murmurs in the Academy halls, the furtive glances that dogged him everywhere he went.
Now?
Now, he used it.
If they should lust after him, they did so at their own peril.
Desire was a fundamental human weakness. A distraction. A vulnerability. And if Jayce Talis was to prove useful, then Viktor would use every weakness he had.

Summary
Jayce made a selfish decision and brought Viktor back to life, but also changed him in the process. Now Viktor's gone, and Jayce is... Well, not doing great.
Imagine how better his day gets when Professor Heimerdinger and his 'new pupil' Ekko show up looking for answers, which just end up landing him in a completely different universe.
One where he's married. To Viktor.
Or: What would have happened if Jayce did end up in the same universe as Ekko and Heimerdinger, and this Jayce also has a way better life than him.

Summary
When Viktor finally asks why Jayce stayed behind inside the Anomaly with him, Jayce stares at him as though he’s supremely disappointed by the question— as if Viktor has betrayed his own brilliance by asking something so irredeemably stupid. “How could I not? We’re partners.”
Partners, Jayce calls them. Not for the first time, Viktor wonders: Partners in what?
*
Or: Jayce and Viktor survive the Hexcore, a blizzard, their own bodies, sharing a bed and all the things they’re too afraid to say. Slowly, they put themselves back together— piece by stubborn piece.

Summary
Lord Talis has an assistant he is scandalously close to. Whispers follow them through the halls of London’s elite—of experiments that push the bounds of decency, of midnight excursions and a patronage far too intimate to be proper.
But Jayce cares little for propriety, not when Viktor’s health wanes, not when the supply of bodies dwindles and the lungs he so desperately studies decay too quickly beneath his scalpel.or
Victorian London, 1888. Surgeon Jayce Talis and his assistant Viktor have long since crossed the line of moral decency in pursuit of progress. As the city tightens its grip on the dead, desperation drives them to new measures—darker, bloodier, irreversible. But Jayce has never been one to balk at sacrifice, not when it comes to Viktor. Not when it comes to his love.

Summary
Ambessa tapped her cheek, seeming pressed by the cryptic nature of his words. “Speak, boy, or I will recant your status on time wasted alone.”
He curled his hand into a fist, leaning on the battle axe pressed into the floor.
“Your Majesty, I ask this and only this: that you surrender me to the service of Prince Viktor as His Highness’ sole, personal guard.”
The room went quieter than the faintest whisper, more stunned than a stolen breath.
“...Come again?” Ambessa asked, her voice severe.
--
Or, the one where Prince Viktor, the adopted son and political prisoner of the Medarda Clan reunites with the boy he made a Knight: the venerable Sir Jayce Talis. The Prince seeks freedom. And the Knight seeks revenge. But what matters most in the end, more than all politics and crusades, is that these two men, born in a time where not more than loyalty is even legal, are hopelessly, incandescently in love with each other.

Steve Harrington had always been one to jump in the middle of the action to protect his kids--even if that meant putting his life on the line. Even if that meant being the sacrifice, left to barricade a door by himself against a literal army of Russians.
He had called to Robin--hoping for one fleeting moment that she would help him. Hoping that for once, he wouldn't be completely alone.
But she left. She left him all alone to hold the door.
This was fine. He was fine. He could survive this... right?
----
Or, what would happen if instead of helping Steve hold the door closed and getting caught by the Russians together, Robin ran and left Steve all alone?- Language:
