The Ending We Do Not Deserve by chaoticsnowflake
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)
18 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
"Yes," Viktor says finally, a faint laugh escaping his lips, "I suppose I have aged." And how wonderful is this, to finally speak to his partner again? To smile, to joke, to laugh—oh, how he has missed this. It is no wonder he cannot let Jayce die in that snowstorm; Viktor cannot afford to miss out on this. Not in any lifetime.
"You—wait." Jayce's eyes widen. "You're the one who saved me and my mom when I was a kid, aren't you?"
Viktor nods. "Yes… I suppose that I am unable to simply let you die." His lips quirk into a wry smile. "A weakness we both share when it comes to one another, it would seem."
Trapped eternally in what remains of a world he destroyed, Viktor has had nothing but time to reflect on his mistakes. Another world's iteration of his deceased partner finds himself in Viktor's devastated timeline, and of all Viktor's mistakes, Jayce was always the biggest one.
Let's run it back. Maybe this time, we can do something right.

The Anatomy of an Equation by chaoticsnowflake
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
"I am a scholar of linguistics," Alhaitham reminds Kaveh for what he assumes is approximately the fourth time in this conversation, "it is not my responsibility to be able to calculate angles and dimensions and whatnot."
Kaveh raises an eyebrow. "You say you're a linguistic expert, and yet you refuse to even try to understand the most universal language of all?"
"Arithmetic has no bearing on practical conversation," Alhaitham remarks. "You're wasting your time with something that holds no value outside of an academic context."
"I can't believe this," says Kaveh, huffing a breath of exasperation and throwing his hands up in the air. "You're literally—you are lecturing me on my discipline's bearing on social situations?"
Alternatively: It starts, as it tends to do, with an argument over something trivial—in this instance, the value of mathematics. It devolves, because of course it does, into the Sisyphean task of trying to make sense of something which is impossible to make sense of... that thing being calculus. Obviously. What else would it be?

Rigged Dice & A Triple Cocktail of Chaos by chaoticsnowflake, DarkLuminosity
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
"Well, in the spirit of Windblume, I’ve found an interesting way for us to spend the evening." Looking at Kaeya and Eula, she continues with an endearing smile. "Since our partners are more on the— ahem, reserved side, we can get to know one another better this way. Especially since it does involve alcohol…"
Jean chooses this moment to chime in. "Lisa, Eula, Kaeya, why did you bring us all here?"
"Well," Kaeya answers, "that's simple. All of you need to socialize more, and it’s Windblume. What better time, honestly?"
Albedo, so quietly under his breath to the point where his words very nearly go unnoticed: "This is going to go horribly wrong, isn’t it?"
Alternatively: In the spirit of Windblume, Lisa, Eula, and Kaeya decide to drag Jean, Diluc, and Albedo to the Angel's Share for drinks and an innocent game of truth or dare—a triple date, in other words. Chaos ensues, naturally; with this group, why wouldn't it?

The Simple Science of Mutual Abhorrence by chaoticsnowflake
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
After seven minutes of uncharacteristic silence—yes, Diluc counted—Kaeya clears his throat and sets down his drink, swirling the liquid around in his glass and carefully avoiding Diluc’s gaze. “Hey, so I want you to meet someone.”
His attention preoccupied with the inventory clipboard in his hand, Diluc doesn’t bother taking much time to formulate a response. “What,” he tosses out absentmindedly, almost as a joke, “you want me to meet your boyfriend or something?”
Kaeya blinks, his posture visibly stiffening. “Huh,” he remarks. “Didn’t know your informants were that adept.”
“Of course they are; I only hire the best of the—” Diluc stops dead in his tracks as his brain finally catches up and processes Kaeya’s words. “Wait. You have a what?”
Alternatively: A grave error in judgement on Kaeya's part leads to the introduction Diluc and Albedo to one another. Saying the two dislike one another would be perhaps the greatest understatement the nation of Mondstadt has ever heard.

Summary
“Why are you telling me all of this?”
“Well, part of it is for administrative reasons,” Varka admits. “But part of it is because, well…” He sighs, leaning back in the plush backing of his chair. “I’ve never had a son of my own, but you’re the closest thing I’ve got to one.”
Kaeya blinks, not entirely sure how to process such a statement. It’s not that he doesn’t believe it to be true—the fact of the matter is that ever since the night Crepus Ragnvindr died, Varka had taken Kaeya under his wing, given him a place to live, and more or less done all the other little things a parent might do for his child. And still, to hear it admitted aloud is quite a strange thing.
“What do I do now?” he asks, more to himself than anything else. “I have nowhere else to go.”
Alternatively: The story of how Kaeya came by his fur-adorned cape, among other things. Inspired by a fanart on tumblr, which can be found here.

The Mysterious Case of the Darknight Hero by chaoticsnowflake for DarkLuminosity
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
13 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
All in all, the Knights of Favonius are presently a mess, everyone is stressed and overworked to Celestia and back, and these Abyss Mages happen to be today’s target of Eula’s ire.
And yet, she never gets the chance, because out of seemingly nowhere another figure has appeared, donning a black cloak and mask and killing all of the remaining Abyss Mages in one fell swoop.
Sheathing her claymore and muttering under her breath, Eula swears a solemn oath of vengeance. Mark her words, this man will be found out. And when she finds him, Eula is going to give him hell.
Alternatively: After a mysterious vigilante has the audacity to deprive Eula of some much needed stress relief, she makes it her own personal mission to discover his identity and make him pay for his crimes; chaos ensues.

Ce qui est en haut est comme ce qui est en bas by chaoticsnowflake
Fandoms: Les Misérables - All Media Types

Summary
Grantaire does not resent the revolution; rather, he resents the way it has wrapped its delicate fingers around his neck, pressing down into his throat saying, see what happens when you try to escape. He resents the way something he does not hold a single shred of belief in is so closely intertwined with someone he believes in beyond a shadow of a doubt, and of course he had to go and fall in love with the one person who will never have him.
Here is a fact: Staring down the barrels of twelve guns, at the end of everything, Enjolras is poised to become a martyr.
Alternatively: The final night and final morning in the lives of a cynic and a visionary, and the last of stolen glances and words left unsaid. You know how this ends—don't you dare look away.

Lessons in Opulence by chaoticsnowflake

Summary
Caitlyn raises an eyebrow. “I am going to personally ask Mel—”
“I know where you live.”
It’s probably a good thing that Ximena calls the four of them to dinner then, because Vi is certain she was about to bear witness to several death threats. It’s a bit of a shame, really, because she was kind of curious what the two of them would’ve come up with, but that’s suddenly the furthest thing from her mind because a brand-new, much more pressing issue has presented itself before her.
“Caitlyn, why are there three forks?”
Alternatively: Now that she's living in Piltover, Caitlyn begins introducing Vi to Being Rich™—a process throughout which Vi finds herself continually wondering just what the fuck is going on.

The Princes of Chalk and the Damned by chaoticsnowflake

Summary
“What can I say? This place has grown on me.” And while Kaeya is known for his silver tongue and half-truths, this truth is one he tells in full. “Over time, my life has had less and less to do with Khaenr’iah,” he remarks, “and more and more to do with Mondstadt. It’s only natural that I feel closer to this place…especially considering it’s the home of those whom I love.”
“You speak as if we can escape Khaenri’ah’s legacy completely,” Albedo notes. “You do realize such a thing is impossible for people like us, do you not?”
“I certainly don’t believe in prophecy, if that’s what you’re asking.”
Alternatively: The private musings of Khaenri'ah's wayward princes, and their reasons for being. Careful—you never know who might be listening.

On the Mixing of Fire and Ice by chaoticsnowflake
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
“Ah.” Diluc hands a tall glass of Dandelion Wine to a woman waiting nearby. “I meant to ask you about him, actually.”
“Oh?” Now it’s Kaeya’s turn to raise an eyebrow. “What about him?” Kaeya raises his glass to his lips, peering at Diluc over the rim. A warning delivered with a diamond-pupiled eye. Careful what you say next.
Alternatively: After the threat against Mondstadt is defeated, the citizenry flocks to the taverns to celebrate. Among them are Kaeya and Diluc, being remarkably civil to one another, and between them passes a discussion regarding a certain alchemist and a battle on a bridge.

Summary
He comes to their meetings, takes up space at a table in a corner of this hallowed room, and he defiles it by drinking himself to oblivion and resisting Enjolras’s belief in the resistance. Argues purely for the sake of arguing.
And he does it all the while staring at Enjolras with a reverence typically reserved for only the angels and the gods. Combeferre tells Enjolras it is love. Enjolras tells Combeferre he does not have time for something so trivial.
“You do not believe in anything, Grantaire.”
“I believe in you.”
Alternatively: Five times Enjolras does not return Grantaire's love, and one time he almost does.

Within These Four Walls by chaoticsnowflake
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)
11 Mar 2025
Tags
Summary
Sometimes, Viktor thinks about dying. They had been in the cottage for exactly one month when Viktor asked Jayce if he ever thought about dying, as well.
This elicited a laugh—rather, a short huff of air through the nose; a mixture of frustration and begrudging amusement. Saying, I pulled you back from the dead against your will once. Do not believe for a second that I will hesitate to do it again.
Then, “I think about dying sometimes, too.”
Alternatively: A series of moments between two partners who were meant to die, shared in a tiny cottage by a stream.

Pull The Blanket Tight, Now by chaoticsnowflake
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)
27 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
As a scientist and innovator, Viktor was always pushing the limits of his and Jayce's technology, of their Hextech, in a deluded shared dream of changing the world for the better.
As a god, Viktor pushed the limits of humanity itself, for the sake of a hopelessly vain vision of a glorious evolution.
Now, dragged from his pedestal by his partner and denied death by the arcane, Viktor is learning how to be human again.
Alternatively: It was not too long ago when Viktor nearly destroyed the world wearing the blanket that smells like home.

The Paradox of Genius by chaoticsnowflake

Summary
Having been the reason for Piltover's massive success, there is no denying that Jayce Talis and his partner Viktor are incredibly intelligent.
That being said, vast intelligence does not discount one from leaning a bit towards stupidity on occasion. And because of course it would be just her luck, Caitlyn Kiramman has had to witness this tragedy firsthand, and every time she thinks it can't get worse, she is somehow proven wrong.
This time, it's drawings in a lab notebook, of all things, and wow, she is never going to hear the end of this.
Alternatively: Jayce has a dilemma regarding his numerous drawings of Viktor in his lab notebook, and Caitlyn, of course, has to hear about it. In an effort to not have to hear about it, she and Vi embark on a mission that proves much more difficult than they initially thought, on account of the fact that Piltover's men of progress are apparently really damn oblivious.

Summary
At the end of the world, there is no one left but Viktor. Viktor, a broken world, and the remains of the one thing he had that was already perfect.
What he wouldn't do to undo his ruin. What he wouldn't give to have his partner back.
Alternatively: In his isolation, Viktor has had nothing but time.

Summary
Jinx has pulled the pin on the bomb half a million times, but for whatever reason Ekko refuses to let her go.
Instead, he tells her about another version of her. A version of her whose life she’ll never get to live, but a version of her who she could be, if she so chose.
Jinx just wants to be someone good.
Alternatively: Ekko tells Jinx about the good version of her, despite her belief that such a person does not exist.

In All Possibilities by chaoticsnowflake

Summary
The rune absorbed them, and they were assumed dead. As a matter of fact, Viktor and Jayce expected themselves to die. But it would seem that after absorbing them, it chose to cast them out.
Now, all that's left for them to do is pick up the pieces of the lives they thought they'd abandoned to the arcane.
Alternatively: The rune dumps Viktor and Jayce into the alternate timeline in which Hextech was never invented.

Summary
The prompt given to Grantaire by his art professor for the final project is vague—painfully so.
And yet, even apathy himself is capable of finding an exception to his nature.
Alternatively: Regardless of his skepticism, Grantaire will never cease to place into Enjolras the purest form of believing.

Summary
