You can let yourself be vulnerable in a way that has persisted throughout humanity, and give someone you love that same luxury."
or:
Jayce wants to stop Vik from being a workaholic, and dumbassery ensues.

Summary
Three years post season 1. Vi continues her search for Jinx, while maintaining a long-distance relationship with Caitlyn, who’s now the Sheriff. But when the latest dead end brings Vi back to Piltover, she starts to realise that chasing after the past could be costing her the future…
One-shot.
“Your dad told me you’ve been having trouble sleeping.” Vi decided to switch gears. “Want to tell me about it?”
“You know I’ve always been a light sleeper,” Caitlyn answered. Deflecting.
“You’ve never passed out at work before.”
“I told you, that case…”
Vi pressed her finger to Caitlyn’s lips.
“Bullshit. It’s because of me, isn’t it?”

Summary
Daisuke must admit, he was afraid.
He hasn't seen the captain since before the crash. Well, technically, he did, but he was mostly covered up by Jimmy's arms, being rushed into the medbay. When Jimmy came out, he looked shell-shocked as a soldier, his uniform and shirt blooming with red as the pungent smell of burned flesh coated him like a heavy blanket.
Daisuke visits Curly, weeks after the crash.

Summary
He was powerless, completely and utterly powerless, and it was the one goddamn time in his life he tried to actually reach out and help… He tried to speak, tried to move, and it hurt. He tried to do anything, and it hurt. He was powerless, and it hurt…
He prayed to that damned dead pixel, to the stars beyond them, to anything or anyone who’d listen…
Please. Please let me have a chance. One more chance to fix this…
Curly woke up, gasping for air, eyes wide. One last chance to make things right.
Aka
Curly finds himself back in the past and with what he knows of the possibilities the future holds, he takes off his rose-tinted glasses and actually takes action to protect his crew from the man he once called a friend
