Summary
Dr. Viktor Hornik, associate professor at the University of Piltover, did not expect the man he's dreamt of for years to appear in his class. He definitely didn’t expect the man to run away.
But as his dreams turn to nightmares of cults and magic and mechanical gods, and as his nightmares turn into reality, Viktor finds himself more and more desperate to find the man — and any answers he may provide.

urg… i accept the herald’s judgement but it’s so uglyAKA: Jayce is a video game challenge player and modder. Viktor is a speedrunner. This is incredibly self-indulgent. (Summary slightly changed with new chapter)

Summary
Jayce Talis was a typical bored and disillusioned office worker. Then, to his horror, his best friends Caitlyn and Vi got engaged, causing his mother to hound him about his (very non-existent) romantic life.
For some reason, Jayce told her that he was dating someone and that they were going to visit her over Christmas.
For some reason, the only person that came to mind was Viktor, his friend and favourite co-worker.
For some reason, Viktor agreed to the plan.

Summary
“She should wake up soon,” Verso kept his gaze on Maelle, head angled away so he could only see Renoir in the very sliver of his periphery.
He wished the man would say something. He hoped he wouldn’t.
Verso brings Maelle to the Manor.

Summary
Verso is lying on the stone floor, almost indistinguishable from the broken bodies around him. Monoco flies down to him from a balcony; his feet hit the floor as he returns to his usual gestral self.
He thinks the landing was very graceful. Deserving of applause, even.
Verso doesn’t even try to look at him, missing the whole performance, and this is even more frustrating.
And… concerning.
Or: Verso is lost on Sirène’s island. Thankfully, Monoco is always able to find him.

Summary
Clea opens her eyes to the soft blue glow of François' mushrooms and Esquie’s nightlights to look at her brother.
“Do you sometimes wish,” she asks, “that you had been born the first daughter of the Dessendre family, and I had been its first son?”
The song stops. Verso tilts his head, then starts again, something arrhythmic and almost like a pleasant toothache for how it refused to settle.

‘Do Androids Dream? A Cybernetic Study into the Emergence of Consciousness in Specimen JY-5, C.E.’ (A.K.A. Jayce Become Human) by keahiaciano

Summary
Renowned inventor Viktor is forced to offer his feedback on the performance of a new android model, specially ‘donated’ as his new lab assistant. However, Viktor finds the task much less tiresome than anticipated—even as he struggles to come to terms with exactly what it is he’s been given.
Meanwhile, JY-5 (now Jayce) only knows three things. That he must neither harm, nor disobey a Human; that the word ‘must’ is a circumstantial term at best; and that he is not a slave, despite all appearances to the contrary.
Oh. And that he’s in love with Viktor.
But really—what else could he possibly need to know?
---
Or, Android Jayce fights against systemic oppression, a deadly conspiracy, and—most importantly—the injustice of Viktor not taking his feelings seriously.

Summary
It’s her own chroma reaching out to her, sweet and cool, scented with smoke and sweat. Aline lifts her head. Verso stares back—her beautiful boy, caked in blood, white petals fluttering around his mangled form. He smiles. All the clumsy stitching across her heart—her desperate attempts to self-soothe, to heal, to pull herself back together—tear at the seams.
“Do you recognize me?” Verso whispers. The weight of more than a century hangs off his shoulders. It does nothing to touch the childish longing in his pale eyes, or the feverish, desperate way he clutches at her.
“Always." Aline cups his cheek. She strokes her thumb over the scar marring his face, a lone imperfection worn so proudly. “Verso.”
(Verso leaps free of the painting. After decades apart, he and Aline share a final conversation).
