Summary
Viktor laughs in his face and Jayce can smell a hint of star anise from his sweetmilk and the acrid smokey scent leftover from the soldering iron rising from Viktor’s hair.
“I wonder if you even know that you cited my college thesis in these notes.”
What?
“What?” His hand falls away from his face as he looks at Viktor with genuine confusion.
Laughing again, Viktor flips back two pages and points at his list of research citations. “‘How can hydrometallurgical processes aid in mining oxides from chemtech seams? A review of potential options and applications.’ This is my paper.”
Upon the discovery that Jayce unknowingly cited one of Viktor's research papers before they met, Jayce shows Viktor his gratitude. (Will end up as a series of smutty, slightly-related one-shots featuring SCIENCE.)

Summary
Viktor had always hoped to be fixed: repaired where possible, defective parts replaced, pain put out of its misery. After that, there would be time to finish the great works he was meant for. When he has to face the reality of his decline, though, Viktor knows he would give up that dream to have Jayce at his side at the end of a good life.
Viktor knows his work could live on long after he is gone. Still, he wants and wants and wants.
(i) Jayce is the Man of Progress. The moniker, Viktor thinks, is almost too on the nose. Jayce has always looked forward, and Viktor doesn’t know how to tell him there’s no more time for long-term plans. (ii) Viktor’s health collapses under the torsions and pressures of surgical revision. Jayce helps him imagine what could exist in the aftermath. (iii) Hope, it turns out, is a kind of demolition. His desire to do good leads him back to the Undercity. In Piltover, Viktor is gutted by grief. His heart might give out before his failing body.
A story in three crises.
