    Welcome to my Sanders Sides Percy Jackson AU! This was inspired by a work on AO3 called Absolutely Smitten by maxiswriting, which was inspired by an au on Tumblr which I have linked in the masterpost (go check out the original au idea and maxiswriting’s beautiful rendition!!!). The basics of the au can be found in the masterpost, but the masterpost is subject to change, so remember to keep checking it! The main plot is divided into 5 (maybe more, but right now it’s 5) fics, and then I want to make a little book of drabbles based in the universe :). Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day!

    Summary

    What Jayce first ascribed to suppressants (and sheer willpower) was actually the byproduct of a serious medical condition. Viktor hasn't had a heat since he was a teenager. Every year Viktor’s hypothalamus tested the dry well of his fuel reserves and elected to divert any runoff from ovulation to more vital bodily functions (say, breathing).

    Worse: It’s common knowledge that heats and ruts are strongest at their outset. Hormones fluctuate over the years; cycles settle; the body calibrates to accommodate the unruly roommate of ovulation. But Viktor’s body doesn’t have the benefit of practice. Somehow—against every natural law—Viktor, about a side glance from death and as far as a decade from his last heat, is about to nosedive into an induction furnace.

    //

    When the temporary energy boost from his first Shimmer experiment triggers a heat, Viktor resolves to suffer the consequences alone. Needless to say, things don't go as planned.

    Summary

    Before he can stop himself, he picks up the phone. Every ring seems to last for eternity. Please, he thinks, be there, pick up, don’t be dead, don’t be gone…

    “Viktor?”

    His heart jumps. Silco’s voice is muffled, sleep-thick, but oh so achingly familiar. He had not realised until now just how much he missed it.

    “You do realise it is 2 o’clock in the morning?”

    He tries to speak but no words come out. The guilt, perhaps, has stolen them.

    “Has something happened?”

    “Papa,” he finally whispers. “Papa. Papa.” And then all of a sudden he is bawling his eyes out, horrible, heaving gasps and sobs torn from his throat, wracking his thin frame, and distantly he is embarrassed, but he cannot seem to make himself stop.

    Worn down by the crushing weight of (not actually) unrequited love, workplace disputes, past trauma, and the existential dread that comes with being an overachiever in your twenties, Viktor finally breaks. Papa Silco comes to pick up the pieces.

    Returning to his childhood home in Zaun for a long-overdue rest, Viktor must reckon with his past, his future, and the terrifying prospect of allowing himself to be loved and cared for.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of a traumatic incident that led him to drop out of university, Jayce Talis packs up everything he knows and moves to a small mountain town in the middle of nowhere to open a flower shop, eager for a fresh start on life.

    What he doesn't expect, however, is for fate to send him careening back into the orbit of a familiar face from childhood: Viktor, a remarkable up-and-coming artist who not only works at the adjacent tattoo parlor, but lives directly next door.

    But Viktor has ghosts of his own. Walls he'd rather remain hidden behind for the sake of those around him. Neither of them intended for the other to get close.

    But love is funny like that.

    Summary

    It's 1997. God is real, and He is in your cereal, your radio, the glint of headlights caught in roadkill eyes. In the hum of cicadas and the low pulse of FM static. He is in the rust on your daddy's tools, the warm plastic of the truck dashboard, the syrup-thick silence that settles over the hills come sundown. If you're listening proper, you can hear Him in the drip of the kitchen tap, the way it ticks time like a metronome. Keeps beat for the loneliness.

    Jayce Talis lives alone in the hills, content to keep to himself, his Bible, and the quiet work of tending land too stubborn to yield much. Then one summer evening, the church drops a half-starved stranger on his porch. Viktor- sharp-tongued, bird-boned and unrepentant- is the kind of man Jayce was raised to turn away from. But the mountains have a way of stretching out time and making space for things that don’t belong, and the more Viktor learns to live, the more he makes Jayce remember what he's spent years trying to forget.

    Summary

    The stories say a siren's song is to be feared. They call it a curse, a death sentence.

    They are wrong. The song is simply a beginning. The real danger is far softer, slower, and sweeter, a doom borne upon the siren's kiss.

    Whatever the truth, Viktor has no cause for concern.

    For what would a siren want from a broken man like him, fleeing a lonely life in Piltover to another by the sea?
