Summary

Summary
The most common way Hextech misfunctioned was, unsurprisingly, to blow up.

Summary
Viktor stalked closer, eyes scanning over the unnamed human. A man, he soon realized, judging by his muscular frame. He was dressed in what used to be a white coat, now tarnished with dirt, sewage, and… blood. The man shifted slightly where he lay, the emblem on his shoulder glinting briefly in the faint light from above, only for a second.
Wait... That was--
The Talis emblem.
“Jayce?”
Throwing all caution to the wind, Viktor immediately dropped to his knees before Jayce, hands hovering over the man’s wounded form. To his surprise, Jayce flinched.
“You’re not real.”
OR:
Viktor begins having recurring nightmares of some ravine and tries to make sense of it. It’s not until he sees Jayce in the ravine does he begin to realize maybe these were more than just persistent nightmares.

Summary
Maybe this is all Jayce Talis was meant to be: a cautionary tale of trying to outshine the shadows that were his birthright. Maybe he was always supposed to end up right here: alone, defeated, and shrouded in darkness forever.
As always, Viktor refuses to let that be his fate.

‘Do Androids Dream? A Cybernetic Study into the Emergence of Consciousness in Specimen JY-5, C.E.’ (A.K.A. Jayce Become Human) by keahiaciano

Summary
Renowned inventor Viktor is forced to offer his feedback on the performance of a new android model, specially ‘donated’ as his new lab assistant. However, Viktor finds the task much less tiresome than anticipated—even as he struggles to come to terms with exactly what it is he’s been given.
Meanwhile, JY-5 (now Jayce) only knows three things. That he must neither harm, nor disobey a Human; that the word ‘must’ is a circumstantial term at best; and that he is not a slave, despite all appearances to the contrary.
Oh. And that he’s in love with Viktor.
But really—what else could he possibly need to know?
---
Or, Android Jayce fights against systemic oppression, a deadly conspiracy, and—most importantly—the injustice of Viktor not taking his feelings seriously.

Jayce inhales sharply as his lower lip wobbles. What he wouldn’t give to be back in the dingy physics building, suspected asbestos and poor ventilation included. What he wouldn’t give to be sharing a cup of coffee with Viktor over their kitchen table.
What he wouldn’t give to be with Viktor again.

Summary
Jayce didn't do well in the cold.
He was a blacksmith, an engineer. He spent his days working in front of a forge or sweating over a soldering iron. He was too accustomed to the roiling heat, he caught a cold the second snow started to fall. That became the diplomatic excuse, when he needed to quietly and politely bow out of whatever social or fundraising event the Kiramman's had arranged, or later down the line at the endless hand-greasing galas or dinners the Man of Progress had to attend that happened to be scheduled on the first snow of the season.
Jayce fucking hated snow.

Jayce and Viktor's first five winters as partners, where Jayce tries to keep it to himself, but Viktor refuses to be left out in the cold.Bookmarked by Defectivedetective

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
The other man dove to the side—wait, no.
Jayce dove towards him.
Their eyes met for a split second, fear and adrenaline and mind-numbing dread zipping between them as Jayce reached out to him, mouth only just forming the first syllable of his name.
"Vik—"
The last thing that Viktor comprehended was the blazing warmth that filled the room and the earsplitting shockwave that rapidly followed.
— or —
Against all odds, Jayce manages to shield Viktor from the blast during the bombing of the councilor's chamber. Viktor almost wishes he hadn’t.

Summary
Jayce turned his head slowly, his eyes wide and feral. A man stood a few feet away, lantern trembling in his hands. His face was pale, groundskeeper's uniform rumpled and streaked with dirt.
“You were... you were buried,” the man stammered, his voice barely a whisper.
--
After Jayce and Viktor sacrifice themselves, Jayce awakens to a new reality. One where he died before it all went to shit.
Only, he came back wrong.
