Summary
Honestly, Jayce had thought his relationship with his estranged ex-partner couldn't get any worse. He'd watched it crash, burn, and die himself. Hell, he'd pulled the trigger. But of course Viktor would just have to prove him wrong, returning on the eve of his greatest scientific achievement to date. And, goddamn, it does not go how he'd expected. In the bad direction.
As he moves up in the world in the aftermath, hailed as both Piltover’s heroic defender and unmatched genius in the field of hextech (when he only ever wanted to be ONE of those things), he’s hounded by his new/old archnemesis and, even worse, celebrity status. Scarier yet, things with Viktor are still . . . complicated. Just because he can’t seem to bring himself to kill him doesn’t mean there’s any chance they’d ever come back together. Surely not out of necessity after Jayce does something stupid. Right?

Summary
When Viktor finally asks why Jayce stayed behind inside the Anomaly with him, Jayce stares at him as though he’s supremely disappointed by the question— as if Viktor has betrayed his own brilliance by asking something so irredeemably stupid. “How could I not? We’re partners.”
Partners, Jayce calls them. Not for the first time, Viktor wonders: Partners in what?
*
Or: Jayce and Viktor survive the Hexcore, a blizzard, their own bodies, sharing a bed and all the things they’re too afraid to say. Slowly, they put themselves back together— piece by stubborn piece.

Summary
How can he do anything but believe them whole-heartedly when they cup his face and tell him words so amazing and incredible that his heart sings in his ribcage? How can he be expected to not obey the people that raised him from a mere son of a blacksmith to a prophet among the people; someone who saw things no one else saw and was miles ahead of his time? So when there’s a whisper in his ear, as thick and sweet as honey, that he is perfect, and got so far as he has because he was always steadfast and loyal to this idea of perfection, it has to be true - especially considering he worked the entire miserable 32 years of life to hear those delicious words.
It has to be, because he is nothing without that strong, steady ideal of perfection that serves as the foundation to everything he’s created, everything he is, and everything he must be.
OR
In which everything Jayce has left unsaid comes back to bite him.
