Summary
Viktor wasn't chasing the fame, or glory, or wasn't bathing in people's cheers, and Jayce just wanted him to stay by his side, so the world could acknowledge his hard work too.
He was the face of their inventions, but Viktor — Viktor was the heart.The truth, stark and brutal, hit him with the force of another blast. He had put Viktor in the line of fire. He had, by his very presence, by his very identity, endangered the man he loved.

Summary
Viktor had barely settled back into his work when he heard the lab door slowly creak open.
He froze.
The campus should be closed at this time of night, especially on Progress Day. No one except for him, Jayce, Sky, and campus security even had access to enter this lab. He knew for certain Jayce and Sky were not returning until tomorrow morning. Sky left hours ago, mentioning she would be meeting with friends from the Undercity. Meanwhile, Jayce was representing Hextech at the afterparty Viktor declined to attend at the last minute, meeting foreign investors who were visiting for Progress Day.
Viktor whirled around, poised to face the intruder while armed with a flat-head screwdriver as his eyes scanned every corner of the lab in search of an unwelcome visitor.
But no one was there.

Or, what if Viktor was in the lab when Jinx broke in on Progress Day?

Summary
Magic happens anywhere, to anyone, without rhyme or reason. Far more likely to happen with rhyme than with reason, in fact. Most magic items aren’t really valuable, though. A top from a Christmas cracker that can spin forever, a coin that always lands on heads. Tiny, everyday miracles. Spells are even worse, happening in an instant and then over, completely impossible to replicate in a lab.
This doesn't stop Jayce from studying magic, and the artifacts at least are left with magical abilities that remain consistent. So when a man turns up offering to donate an unusually valuable one Jayce is keen. Only the man is donating himself, a living doll, with a sharp intelligence potentially more valuable as a partner in Jayce's studies than as an object to be studied himself.

Lies We Tell Ourselves by tenderwatches

Summary
“Tell me what you were doing with the Hexcore. And… everything that came before.”
“Would you believe me if I said I was trying to protect you?”
Viktor returns to Piltover after years of exile with one certainty: he's dying.
Old wounds reopen when Viktor discovers Jayce has rebuilt the very thing he once betrayed Viktor over. Outrage blooms, but so too, do new possibilities—ones that uncover a dangerous connection between magic, ambition, and the looming Gray.
As they attempt to mend their fractured partnership, Jayce grapples with the part he has played in Piltover's fervent pursuit of progress—and in Viktor's continuing deterioration. They confront truths they've hidden from themselves as well as one another: desires long buried, sacrifices made in desperation, and how far either of them will go for love.
Some lies protect us, others destroy us—but the hardest ones to overcome are the lies we tell ourselves.

Summary
After everything - the Hexgates, the choice to finish things together - they wake in a cottage by the sea.
The world is quiet. The air salt-wet and unfamiliar. The rooms feel lived in, but not by them. They don’t know how they got here. They don’t know why they’re alive.
Viktor is sick. He says it’s nothing. Jayce pretends to believe him.
In the hours between then and now, between silence and survival, something begins to grow.
-
Post-canon, instead of living in a cottage by a stream, they live in a cottage by the sea.

Summary
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“If it’s all the same, Jayce,” Viktor says, “I’d really rather not talk more than necessary right now.”
“Oh. Right. Fair.” He frowns, because he still wants that answer. But silence is hard won on a good day, and Jayce is worried. He wants to ask a million questions. How long Viktor had been feeling sick. If it’s just the nausea, or something else, too. If he needs to worry about this kicking him when they’re down, too, because he’s spent the better part of the past two days in the lab with him. Why he hadn’t told him–

Summary
DEAD DOVE: Do Not Eat
Viktor needs relief. Silco needs leverage. Jayce won’t slow down to even see what's going on right beneath his feet. And the longer Viktor stays, the more he begins to understand that survival isn’t about learning which parts of yourself you can sacrifice.
--
Some days, Viktor wonders what it might feel like to live peacefully blissed out on existence, free of coherent thought, of the awareness of his own body’s betrayal, his lungs’ collapse like an ecosystem without its vital function, what it might feel like to lay on his back staring blankly at the ceiling, caring and not caring as interchangeable as not breathing. But it was very hard not to care.
“Nonsense. Our mutual friend has made me quite clear on the details of your situation, Viktor. Such a shame that even now Piltover continues to leave such a mark on the sharpest minds of our land. They take and take and take from us— You’re not wrong for wanting help, Viktor. For needing help. What this represents is a tool, not a crutch. Do you understand?”

Summary
Viktor reviews the data once more, skimming through the meticulously recorded observations about his own physical changes on shimmer, giving himself one final chance to change his mind. One last opportunity to do what would, objectively speaking, be considered the right thing.
He could follow the natural course of things. He could let Jayce go. Let him die once more, and let the world lose the best man he’s ever known.
But he won’t.
As Jayce lay dying in the lab after the council attack, Viktor swears to himself that he will do anything to bring Jayce back from the brink of death.

Summary
Viktor is working late into the night at usual, before a stranger steps into the lab. Viktor doesn't understand what’s happening until it’s far too late to stop it. What follows is a blur of pain and terror.
Soon after, forged documents surface bearing Viktor's handwriting, detailing weaponized applications of their hextech research. The documents are sophisticated fakes, but they're enough for the Council to question Viktor's loyalty and integrity.

Summary
Jayce dies.
In the bombed out ruins of what had once been the council room, in Viktor’s arms, his heart stops beating. Viktor feels the exact moment Jayce slips away, pulse falling silent beneath bloodstained fingertips, and he is left all alone.
There is nothing to mark Jayce’s passing. No last exhale, no twitch of the fingers, no final words. It is a perfectly unremarkable moment.
For Viktor, the world ends.
In the aftermath of the attack on the council, Viktor makes the only choice he can.

Summary
The ringing in his ears blots out all other sound. Viktor opens his mouth to call out for Jayce, but nothing comes out—just a feeble croak that he can feel rattle through his throat more than he can hear.
He cracks his eyes open, surprised by how gritty and irritated they are, and sees nothing. For a moment he thinks the ringing, the static, the weight pushing down on him, the nothingness, is all there is.
Or, what if Viktor survived the council attack instead of Jayce?

Summary
The Undercity holds many mysteries, but none are quite so terrifying as what lurks in the unfiltered drinking water. When allowed to grow and thrive in a healthy host and given decades to mature, the illness that follows is something straight from a nightmare. Raw and painful to endure and difficult to watch from the outside.
When Viktor is stricken with this sickness, likely picked up from a childhood spent near the fissures, Jayce must keep himself together while racing the clock against the monster taking root inside of the man he loves.

Summary
The boy looks up with hazel eyes. There is a look in his eyes that only a son could have for his mother. A desire to make her proud. “My name is Jayce of the House Talis. My father is Edmund Talis. I’ve come to claim my birthright as heir to my House.”
And through his stumbling words, his mother thinks- yes. You will make me proud.
(Or: Jayce and Ximena Talis never make it out of the snowstorm together. Jayce and Viktor meet, decades before they should, as two children of Zaun. This changes everything.)

Summary
*crackling hiss of a radio*
“Ground Control, this is Commander Talis checking in. Over.”
It had been so long since Viktor had heard a voice that wasn’t Sky’s.
“Ground Control, do you copy? Over.”
Was this actually the astronaut Jayce Talis?
“I believe you might have the wrong frequency, space cowboy.”
“Oh no- not again. This damn radio must have been miscalibrated- all the presets are wrong. Who am I talking to? Over.”
“Viktor.”
“No- I mean- where are you? Over.”
“I’m at the bottom of the ocean.”

Summary
Viktor has long since accepted the fate he subjected his timeline to. Understood well the intricate horror that he had moored his Jayce to. He acknowledged that the eternity of mourning awaiting him was his hallowed duty—the cosmic price he must pay for his profligate pursuit of perfection. He doesn't waste effort attempting to hide or mask it; wears the grief as a periapt to the fact that he was human, too.
That he had loved. Once. Lifetimes ago.
That he longs, now, with lifetimes to go.
He never anticipated to be freed from it. He never let himself believe that he could be excused from it—or that he could exempt his Jayce from it, either...
In which Mage Viktor fumbles his way through a millennia of grief. After a surprising visit from another version of himself, he finds a way to bring life back to his own heart, as well as what it beats for. Though everything comes at a price, he comes to find the ironic truth in the statement that "good things come to those who wait."
