    Summary

    He pulls his fingers away and raises them in front of his face, smeared just slightly red with fresh blood through the layer of fabric.

    He’s not wet. He’s bleeding.

    ~

    Viktor gets his period a week after the nosebleed incident. He and Jayce still haven't talked about it.

    Summary

    Jayce wriggles so he can set his hand, palm up, on the sheets between them. There’s not much space—dorm beds. They’re sharing breaths again. Viktor realizes Jayce wants to—hold his hand?

    What the hell.

    Viktor worms his arm out from under the blankets and puts his hand in Jayce’s. Jayce laces their fingers together and squeezes. His eyes are too deep and too bright. Viktor’s pulse is so loud in his ears.

    Summary

    “So you won’t take me because I’ll, what — see people fucking? Get offered drugs?”

    “Jayce…” Viktor warns, more to himself than to the other man. He can feel his already slippery grip on the situation weakening.

    “C’mon, V. I’ll be good, I promise! I’ll keep my hands to myself, I won’t take candy from strangers, and if it’s too much, we can leave.”

    Jayce keeping his hands to himself is not the thing he was worried about. It’s everybody else who wouldn’t be able to keep their hands away from him. They descend on topsiders like piranhas when presented with the opportunity. Their naïveté precedes them. Viktor has seen men and women undone by hands and tongues in mere minutes, and they’re not too keen on stopping before they’ve had more than their fill.

    It’s so lawless, even for the undercity, that the only way to assure Jayce’s sanctity would be to put him in a fucking tag.

    …Now there’s a thought.

    -

    In which the only way for Viktor to keep Jayce safe from the greedy hands and mouths of Zaunite clubs is to put him in a collar and claim ownership. However fake (or real) it may be.

    Summary

    For anyone who knows Jayce Talis knows there are three things that define him as a person:
    1. He is a driven man with the tenacity to achieve his dreams. Without it the wonders of Hextech would never have existed.
    2. Despite belonging to a lower house, he is a standout celebrity that has captured the public's attention and lifted Piltover to new status on the world’s stage.
    3. …and he is hopelessly besotted with his reclusive and recalcitrant partner, Viktor.

    It's number 3 that causes the biggest headache when through a series of loose lips, Ms. Mel Medarda and Mrs. Cassandra Kiramman receive word that their prized investment is formally engaged to his lab and romantic partner. Despite the scandal of Piltover’s Golden Boy intending to marry someone many consider below his station the two of them view this as a golden opportunity to lift Hextech to new heights. Thus starts a ridiculous ordeal for Mr. Jayce Talis and the future Mr. Viktor Talis as their benefactors plan a wedding on their behalf.

    Mel and Cassandra are squabbling over flower arrangements. Jayce is an anxious ball of nerves. Viktor is threatening to flee or elope. Ximena is just happy to be here.

    Summary

    The Man of Progress is a symbol and a carefully crafted illusion. Behind it, Jayce has been sinking. Until Viktor makes an offhand comment at a gala and the illusion completely shatters.

    “Jayce,” Viktor says. “You’re bleeding.”

    That makes sense, Jayce thinks, since he’d apparently just crushed a glass in his hand.

    “You’re also not breathing,” Viktor notes. His voice is concerned now, and Jayce feels Viktor’s hand fall on his elbow.

    Jayce nods, because that makes sense too. Or, no. It doesn’t make sense. He should be breathing. But Viktor is correct that Jayce is not.
