    Summary

    Nobody rescues Jayce Talis. He’s left for dead in a blizzard. A young boy claws his survival from the forests of Freljord to become a man who barely remembers that name.

    And, eventually, a yordle professor drags his assistant along to study murk wolves in the field.

    Pinned lightly against a pine by his throat, the scientist studies the face of a wild man. Long hair, scraggly beard, a small gap in bared teeth, eyes deep and searching. Severe.

    “I’m Viktor,” he says, once the strong, callused fingers permit him the room to breathe properly. “Who are you?”

    Summary

    As Viktor grasped Jayce by the throat, the corrupted hex crystal caught his attention. An alternative way that scene could have gone if Mel hadn't interupted him.

    Summary

    It’s been half a year now since his marriage to Mel fell apart and Jayce became a stay-at-home dad. A little less than that, since he offered Viktor the empty guest room, just to make juggling work and child-rearing overall easier.

    It’s a question of convenience, really. Jayce gets to take care of his daughter, but he also has someone to watch her when he needs to run errands, to play with her next door while Jayce is in a conference call with their sponsors.

    And if Mae gets a little confused about how many daddies she has… or if Jayce is in denial about what kind of partner he wants Viktor to be… Well. They’re going to figure it out eventually.

    Summary

    Viktor turns the uniform over in his hands, smoothing over the wrinkles in the trousers. The buttons are diamond-shaped and hard underneath his fingers.

    Leaning forward, his mother places her arm around his shoulders as she lays a white cravat across Viktor’s hands.

    It’s the brightest piece of fabric Viktor has ever seen.

    “Vitenka,” she whispers. “If you are going to change the world, do not ask for permission. Act like you belong and no one will question you.”

    Piltover Academy of Sciences research masters student Jayce Talis isn't really studying crystallography like he told his professors. Viktor isn't even an academy student, he just has an academy uniform his parents made and very little to lose. They run into each other in a school hallway. Literally.

    Based on this tweet from one of the Arcane writers that there was a backstory where Viktor's parents helped him sneak into the academy.
