    Summary

    “So... you’re a transfer student?” Jayce ventures, trying to fill the silence.

    Viktor shakes his head. “Exchange student. From The Czech Republic. I was in a dorm, but the elevator is broken more than it works. Housing made arrangements.” He sets his suitcase down and adjusts his cane, his movements precise but clearly strained.

    “Right,” Jayce says, feeling a flicker of guilt for his earlier irritation. “Well, uh, welcome, I guess. Your room’s down the hall on the left.”

    Viktor doesn’t respond, already moving toward the hallway without waiting for further instructions. Jayce watches him disappear into the room, the door clicking shut behind him.

    He flops back onto the couch, grabbing his phone to text Caitlyn again:

    Jayce: He hates me already.

    Caitlyn: Don’t so be dramatic. Give it time. Maybe bake him cookies or something.

    Jayce: He doesn’t seem like a cookie guy. More like... brooding and vaguely annoyed at my existence.

    Caitlyn: Perfect. You’re great at brooding and vaguely annoying. 😘

    Summary

    -

    Amid late nights and relentless ambition, Jayce and Viktor find themselves drawn together by a connection they can no longer ignore.

    Summary

    “So, run it by me one more time.”

    Vi paced the length of the room with her chin pinched firmly between her fingers. She had been tracing a wide oval on the floor, her boots clanking heavily with every step. They had been over the plan several times already, Viktor lamented soundlessly, but he understood her nerves. Ekko, who was busy spinning himself in one of Viktor’s office chairs, slowed to a stop with an exaggerated groan, dragging the toe of his shoes along Viktor’s floor. “Vi, how many more times are you gonna make us—”

    “Until it’s perfect, Ekko.” Vi interrupted brusquely. “Everyone needs to be on the same page about what they’re doing, where they’re supposed to be, and what we’re after. We’re not gonna get another shot at this for months if we fail.”

    --

    OR: The kids from Zaun have a plan—find whatever Jayce Talis has been working on and steal it. The Progress Day Gala is the perfect opportunity to do so. The only issue? Viktor has to attend to "present" his research to Heimerdinger. He should be in and out quickly—just long enough to get Vi into place and dip. If all goes smoothly, he'll never have to interact with Jayce Talis at all. Simple, right?

    Summary

    “Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…

    “Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”

    There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.

    “Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”

    OR

    Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.

    Summary

    "If his decision to show up in Jayce's room to talk to him had initially been driven by what he'd said that same day, managing to stimulate his scientific side, after reading his notebook he had found himself also driven by a completely different kind of curiosity.
    Jayce had given him the impression of being an interesting person.
    [...]
    It was also the first time Viktor had found himself wanting to impress someone, wanting to genuinely capture their interest, outside of the academic realm.
    [...]
    “Wait, stop the carriage!” He almost screamed in panic, holding onto his seat in anticipation of the sudden stop. “We have to go back.”
    The coachman did as he was told, and when the carriage stopped, Viktor turned to Caitlyn. Whatever words were about to rise in his throat died as soon as he met her gaze. She was staring at him; in fact, with a stunned expression etched on her face. They both ignored the other man’s complaints, taken aback.
    “You know.” She whispered. Even though it wasn’t a question, she couldn’t hide the surprise in her tone.
    Viktor didn’t need to ask what she was referring to because; yes, he knew."
