    Summary

    By the time they’d finished and packed the rations away, the wet wood still wasn’t throwing off much heat. Royce poked at the burning logs, knowing he’d already done everything he could.
    “You’re shivering, bud.”
    “And you carry three swords. Any other news?”
    Hadrian raised one arm, opening the shadow of the blanket around his shoulders. “Come on.”

    Summary

    After Viktor gets a job at Piltover University as Heimerdinger’s assistant, he leaves behind everything he knows for a chance, because, for Viktor, a chance is all that really matters.

    So he takes it; the chance of something better, something significant, something real. The chance to escape. He finds aversion, hate disguised as indifference, prejudice with a poker face, but he also finds more. A friend. Multiple of them. And something more than a friend.

    A hope for life beyond the expiration date set by his rotting lungs and a desperate burning to be known.


    “Viktor?” A warm hand was gently shaking his shoulder. He’d fallen asleep on the desk, hunched over his papers. He probably had ink all over his face.

    Viktor groaned and sat up as he tried to shake his arm awake. A weight fell off his shoulders.

    A blanket. Viktor looked between the blanket on the floor and Talis, who shrugged.

    “I didn’t want you to get cold.”

    Featuring something found, something lost, and something found again.

    Also featuring a plethora of scientific inaccuracies (because I'm not a scientist), jayvik with a shitload of angst, and lots of commas.

    Summary

    Progress High School. A peace experiment of sorts. Where Piltover and Zaun's future citizens will fully integrate.

    Jayce Talis is starting his Junior year. He's smart, well-liked, has the most perfect girlfriend, and is a star athlete. But when he meets Viktor, an enigmatic Zaunite with a sharp tongue, his entire world is turned upside down.

    Mel Medarda, smart, ambitious, and riding the dreamy high of things shifting to romance with one of her best friends- Jayce Talis- over the summer. But things at Progress High are tightly bound for change, and even with her perfect relationship and pressure from her draconian mother, Mel can't seem to stop thinking about the quiet Vastayan boy she, quite literally, keeps running into.

    Summary

    Below them, the river stretches wide and black, the city glowing like a starry sky of molten gold. The wind sweeps at their clothes and hair—casual, but constant—reminding them that yes, the world is still moving even when time feels like it isn’t. Silence, as the laws of convection dictates, sinks, introducing a chill to the early summer, and the two of them sit in its presence like they’re enjoying the moment, the beauty of it, admiring the overpass like tourists would.

    It’s only when Viktor speaks, subdued and his accent peeking through, throat rumbling with something akin to afterthought, that reality whispers that they aren’t quite tourists: “My parents used to come here.”

    Jayce cocks his head to the side. “To talk?”

    “To fuck.”

    ---

    Or, Viktor inherits his father's Corvette, and has a very handsome mechanic named Jayce look at it.
