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
Fading away in an abusive marriage, each day passes just the same as the last. Painful monotony eats at you until a pair of warm brown eyes gives you the idea that you could have something more. When a business deal between men sparks a torrid affair, how long can you keep things going before the fire either leaves you a burnt out shell or burns up everything around you?
And what becomes of the radio host who thought he was above the fickle fires of the heart when the match he strikes burns his hand instead? Can he possess what rightfully belongs to another man without leaving everything he has fought for in ashes?

Summary
You’re not sure how you, a popular late night radio DJ from the aughts, deserved to be cast in the fiery pits of Hell with a capital H, but here you are. And because the universe is playing a running gag reel on even your afterlife, you find yourself the focus of an avid fan of your segments back when you were topside in the land of the living and he was tuning in from Hell.
Who knew the damned (and damned good looking) could pick up FM radio all the way down here?
Too bad your domineering boss is in a vicious, decades-long rivalry with the guy.

Summary
It's been nearly ten years since the end of the war, and Hermione Granger is finally (mostly) happy. Her research at the Ministry is going exceptionally well, she's almost certainly going to be nominated for a prestigious Merlin Award for Magical Excellence that would have her name synonymous with magical theory across the world, and she's managed to keep all her pot plants alive over the summer.
But as things start to go strangely wrong in Wizarding Britain, Hermione must reluctantly team up with the only person who could ever threaten her chances of winning the greatest academic achievement a witch could hope for- Draco Malfoy.
When their investigation of a possessed Ministry intern quickly becomes far more complicated than either of them could've ever imagined, the pair must find a way to work together and prevent a catastrophe that could shatter the very foundations of the magical world.
Working with your arch-rival isn't easy, and as long-buried secrets and plots start to come to light, Hermione and Draco soon learn that demons may be the least of their problems…

The Line Between Stars by Disguised_Bird
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)
21 Apr 2025

Summary
In this sequel to "After the Line’s Been Crossed", Jayce and Viktor return to Piltover—unwanted and forever changed. Jayce, fractured by his time in the alternate world, fights to contain the violent instincts and haunting visions that blur his grip on reality. Meanwhile, a shadow-cloaked mage has grown tired of waiting for Viktor’s cooperation—she won’t let his unnatural and powerful connection to magic slip through her fingers any longer.
Jayce convinces himself that love is a ruinous thing in his hands, that if he let it touch Viktor, it would leave only scars. But yearning desire does not wait for safe harbors, and in the storm of their return, it crashes through them like a tempest.

Summary
The Machine Herald is captured by Piltover after a failed attack on the bridge, and he is mortally wounded in the process. Jayce must risk everything to save him and repair the damage done, racing against the clock as Piltover hunts him down for treason, but the history between them complicates things. Despite his claims that his actions are no longer dictated by emotion, Viktor is still harboring anger and hatred for his exile in the wake of Jinx's attack, and blames Jayce for what happened. But despite it all, they still care about each other (in their own violent, traumatized ways) and as time runs out, necessity forces them to face the past—and each other—if they want to get out of this unscathed.

the thing with anger (and ugly sweater vests) by johnnyfucksup
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)
17 Jul 2023
Tags
Summary
Rationally, Jayce is aware that Viktor provokes fights purely for his own enjoyment at least half the time. Not even someone as dead-set on being a bastard can realistically find enough reasons to start an argument as frequently as Viktor does. Rationally, Jayce is aware that he only gives Viktor what he wants when he responds to the provocation with anything other than pure indifference.
It’s real fucking difficult to stay indifferent when Viktor starts talking, though, and the urge to rip him apart is so physically overpowering, Jayce really has no other choice than to at least scream at him a little bit.
Or: Viktor pushes, and Jayce has no other choice than to push back, because his ego has always been fragile like that.

Summary
Viktor finds it when he is going through Jayce’s notebook. Though maybe it is his, now, too, considering that Jayce has apparently diligently kept to signing every single page of his notes—egotistical bastard that he is—, but now adding Viktor’s name.
But it is not the horribly misleading Viktor and Jayce Talis that catches his eye—although it certainly does, and he mentally bookmarks that discovery to tease Jayce about it later—or the sketches of his face—those he is aware of, Jayce is not subtle, though he is a little surprised at the quantity of them—but something else entirely.
A guide. To his handwriting.
It is colour-coded.
Or: Viktor has such bad handwriting that literally one else can read it. That is, until Jayce comes along.
