Summary
Jayce was staring at the wall when Viktor found him, stubble already overgrown, hair shorn. He looked broken, fragile. A lost little boy thrown to wolves. Viktor had the ridiculous urge to pull him close, stroke his hair, and let him fall asleep in his lap, safe from harm. He didn’t know the man, only his journal.
“I hope I am not interrupting,” Viktor said, halfway between the dark humor of his home and Piltover politeness.
Jayce’s hazel eyes swung to him, bloodshot and puffy. He shook his head once, slowly, as if he were ashamed. The urge to cradle him grew stronger, a living thing in his chest.
Jayce is thrown into Stillwater after his experiment kills a teenage girl. Viktor finds his journal and becomes obsessed, retreating to Zaun to continue his work with the help of his old mentor. It only takes seven years of obsessive work and a jailbreak to reunite them.

“Are you gonna blurt it out again?” Jinx asked.
"No,” Viktor said, folding the paper neatly and tucking it into his shirt pocket.
“Good. Also, I know you didn’t get Talis.”
“I don’t see how you could possibly tell.”
“You didn’t get that goofy look on your face,” Jinx teased.
Viktor glared at her.
********
“Who’d you get?” Jayce asked by way of greeting.“Mel. Could be worse,” Caitlyn said. “You?”
“Vander,” he said, crestfallen.
“Hm. You were hoping for Viktor.”
Jayce nodded even though it was not a question.
“You already got him some sentimental, perfect gift.”
Another nod to another non-question.
Viktor and Jayce crash out just a little as they try to get each other for the office secret gift exchange.

"When should we go?” Jayce asked.
“We are not going. I am going. They will take one look at you and know an easy mark,” Viktor said firmly, eyeing Jayce’s…everything.
“I’m not an easy mark.”
“A ten year old robbed you in the technical sense because you cannot haggle,” Viktor said bluntly.
“Yeah and if he hadn’t, I might not have met you,” Jayce said, bumping his shoulder against Viktor’s.
Viktor blushed. He wished Jayce wouldn’t say things like that. It made it harder to maintain their friendly whatever it was they had going on for nearly two years now.
Viktor is attacked while visiting the Undercity. He realizes he might not belong anywhere. Jayce has some thoughts on that.

Summary
“Go to the party. Put on your Golden Boy mask and flirt with everyone who throws themselves at you. What do I care?” Viktor said in a deadly calm voice and stormed off.
Jayce didn’t even want to go to the stupid party, but they needed funding. The Hexgates were complete and the Hexgems were iin the testing phase, but far too volatile for everyday use and functionally just theory. The Council and their investors were getting antsy. He had to put on a good face, make an appearance. As he watched Viktor’s retreating form, he wondered why he didn’t understand that. He almost called out Viktor to explain, but he didn’t. Instead, he left.
Viktor and Jayce get into a big fight before a party. They work it out when Jayce gets home.

Summary
Viktor did not dwell on memories of that Jayce, his sweet and innocent Jayce who loved him in a simple, uncomplicated way. It hurt too much to see him now, still his Jayce, his only three-quarters evolved love.
He wrote his equations in charcoal across the top of the Hexgate. He didn’t go down below anymore. There was no reason to. Jayce was there, above, with him. Dreamless solitude was a prison and he was going to escape it.
Once his paradise becomes a hell, Viktor decides to fix it. All he really wants is his partner back.

Summary
The ink hadn’t even dried up on Jayce’s PhD diploma when the job offer landed in his inbox. Prestigious, well-funded, and in a country he had never even considered moving to. At the time, it had seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime.
But being there now, staring at a stack of unread emails, most of them marked urgent in varying degrees of exaggeration, Jayce wonders if he’d been a little too eager to say yes.
He came here to innovate, teach, and change the game, but lately, it feels like he spends more time fighting bureaucracy than breaking ground.
And there’s also Viktor.

Jayce tries to keep his longings locked, but fails miserably
