Summary
Heimerdinger stared. “Murder? Egads, here?”
“No, no,” the artificer held up her hands hastily. “Not here, no never here. Heavens, no. Across the river. Surely you’ve heard about it, professor? It was in all the papers.”
“Ah,” Heimerdinger relaxed. “I don’t read the papers, you know. Much too depressing.”

Bookmarker's Notes
Though the details may deviate from their real history, somehow this feels very true to the spirit of what could have been early-days Namgi. A good reminder that these two have been together the longest out of any of them.

Bookmarker's Notes
This one hurts. A lot.
A take on their partnership that I could absolutely envision as a prequel to canon. It's the kind of story that you read hoping and hoping for some kind of catharsis, a moment where they're finally in synch, but the author stubbornly refuses to let it all be so easy. As one commenter noted, that frustrating, complicated messiness makes this feel like a particularly mature take on their dynamic. It's always hard reading a story that leaves you feeling like the main pairing shouldn't actually be together -- at least, not as the people they are now. Poor Jayce just breaks my heart here with how poorly his needs are being met and how deeply attached he is in spite of it. I felt lonely and abandoned just reading about it.
So then maybe it's odd to bookmark a fic that left me feeling worse off than before I read it, but it's just so well-done. There's a great deal of insight to be gleaned here about Viktor and Jayce, Caitlyn, Mel, and the politics of Piltover which makes this a good choice if you're looking for something bittersweet and realistic. Just consider pairing it with your choice of post-canon story in which they sort their shit out!
Also: CW for graphic description of harm to animals.

Summary
There is a certain truth buried deep within the trenches of Eren’s bruised and battered soul, woven into him on a cellular level, intertwined and interlaced. One so terrifying, so utterly disgusting, he’s never inspected it too closely, but one he’s been aware of vaguely, detachedly, ever since he was nine with his small hands wrapped around a dull knife, covered in the blood of others and shaking uncontrollably. Not from fear, though, or terror at having gutted two human beings like pigs.
Perhaps he is wired incorrectly, the synapses in his brain skewed and queer. Perhaps he was born like that, coming out of the womb erroneous and bad, despite his mother’s words of No one gets born wrong, Eren.
Morbidly, he’s relieved that she died before she could realize what a monster he really is.
Because that’s what he is, isn’t he – a monster. A feral beast; impetuous, irascible, insatiable.

Eren's fucked-up relationship with violence and self-harm, but make it sexy.
