Summary
Jayce Talis, newly promoted soloist at City of Progress Ballet, has just been cast in the role of a lifetime: the male lead in What Could Have Been, a rarely-performed ballet he happens to be obsessed with. The role originated by his celebrity crush Viktor. The role in which Viktor had a career-ending injury.
It’s already a lot of pressure. And then guess who shows up to rehearse it with him.

Summary
Viktor can hardly see past the blackening ash. There are enormous pillars, cracked and sideways like snapped bones. Councilors’ bodies are half-buried beneath it all. Viktor still cannot hear.
The ash begins to settle. Viktor catches a flash of white against the far wall. He trips over himself as he jolts forward, crutch lost somewhere in the debris. He stumbles across the room. It is the second time in his life he has ever ran.
Jayce Talis dies in the Council attack, instead of Viktor. Driven by single-minded desperation, Viktor uses the Hexcore on his partner in a bid to save him. Instead, the Hexcore is destroyed and Jayce remains dead. Viktor has never believed in fate, but he will fight against it all to bring Jayce back. Even if Viktor is ruined by grief. Even if Jayce comes back changed.

Summary
Even here, in this empty apartment, he can’t show one iota of weakness. As far as Piltover knows, Viktor does not feel pain. In fact he hadn’t felt pain since he left the undercity. It’s a point of pride for him, something he maintains obsessively.
Until it follows him to his own bed, at which point he has to acknowledge the inverse: that the existence of pain is a point of shame.
Viktor forces himself to go to work during a flare-up, and the immovable object of his stubbornness meets the unstoppable force of Jayce’s desire to care for him.

Summary
It’s been half a year now since his marriage to Mel fell apart and Jayce became a stay-at-home dad. A little less than that, since he offered Viktor the empty guest room, just to make juggling work and child-rearing overall easier.
It’s a question of convenience, really. Jayce gets to take care of his daughter, but he also has someone to watch her when he needs to run errands, to play with her next door while Jayce is in a conference call with their sponsors.
And if Mae gets a little confused about how many daddies she has… or if Jayce is in denial about what kind of partner he wants Viktor to be… Well. They’re going to figure it out eventually.
