    Summary

    STATUS: Hiatus

    Jayce and Viktor are hurled out of the anomaly and dropped into the field where it all began. While it seems like the opportunity for a fresh start, Jayce's health rapidly begins to decline. In a desperate bid to save his partner, Viktor makes a series of shocking discoveries about Jayce's body and mental state... leading Viktor to believe that *his* Jayce is not what emerged from the Arcane with him.

    Jayce, struggling with the effects of the Arcane on his mental state, also begins to wonder if he is himself anymore.

    Summary

    Six years after he and Viktor part ways on antagonistic terms, Jayce wakes up in the Machine Herald’s medical clinic.

    Jayce desperately wants to rub at his forehead, but the binding at his wrist stops him. He settles for squeezing his eyes shut. “Why?” he asks.

    Viktor is silent for barely a moment. He says, tonelessly, “I assumed this was preferable to dying.”

    Summary

    Viktor sighed, casting his gaze over the moonlit square beyond the laboratory windows. The trees were dancing in the wind—bending. Their heavy limbs trembled, desperate to avoid breaking. But wasn’t that the way of all things caught in a storm? Bend or break. Only stone or steel could remain unmoved. Iron and glass…
    A faint smile pulled at the corner of Viktor’s mouth, golden eyes bright and sharp as he wondered which would be his fate. Bent or Broken? Maybe both. If the slowly worsening ache in his lungs was any indication, he wouldn’t have to wait very long to find out. It seemed that his little tragedy was near its end, with very few pages left to turn…

     

    Viktor evolves, severing his last bonds to Piltover and his old life in one fell swoop. Yet, though the dawn of a new day brings with it hope and possibility, they are accompanied by danger. Jayce finally crosses into Zaun, his sights set on Viktor and Silco--and quickly realizes that the man he thought he knew has transformed into something else entirely. If—that is—Jayce really ever knew him at all...

    Part three of Champion of the Gray (Please go back and read from part one because I promise you this will make no sense on its own <3)

    Summary

    It's as predictable as the laws of physics: a Piltover golden boy should despise a starving inventor from the undercity. But when Viktor's tipped off to a scholar buying strange materials in the Lanes, he's desperate enough to sneak topside and propose a deal. He's not expecting to break every rule he's learned to live by for a man who needs him just as much.

    Or, the Arcane Act 1 AU where Viktor never left the undercity, but he found Jayce anyway.
