    Summary

    “It appears to be a mild concussion, all things considered. I’ll give him something for the pain and will keep him here overnight for observation, and he should recover soon with adequate rest. Which means he’s out of the ring for at least a month—”

    Viktor stops abruptly mid-sentence. It’s probably because Jayce has leaned forward to rest his head against Viktor’s collarbone, jutting out prominently under the thin black undersuit. Jayce closes his eyes and sighs contentedly, nuzzling closer.

    “Fuck, I wish I had a camera right now,” Vi says, clearly trying to stifle a laugh. “Thanks, doc. I’ll get out of your hair before Jayce says or does something even more embarrassing. Stop him if he tries to bleach his hair, yeah? He was really fixated on that earlier.”

    “Thank you, Vi,” Viktor replies in a strangled tone.

    Jayce is a pit fighter. Viktor is the Machine Herald. That makes them both sound a lot cooler than they actually are.

    Summary

    "Have you found a future where we grow old?" asked Jayce.

    "We have not invented that one yet," said Viktor.

    Lost in limbo, they build new bodies.

    Summary

    It’s too easy for Jayce to forget, sometimes, that Viktor isn’t nice. Viktor’s good. Viktor’s kind. Viktor wants to lift up the weak and the helpless and cast down the mighty. But he isn’t nice. And he’s only human: sometimes, he takes things too far. Sometimes, Jayce wonders if Viktor pictures perfection as a vast white wasteland: sterile, untouched.

    But Jayce isn’t one to criticise. He, too, has his flaws. That night, Jayce pictures Viktor bent over the welding bench and he takes himself in his hand, moving quick and fast and cruel until he comes. Yes: he, too, has his flaws.

    Or: Jayce is down bad, and Viktor slowly notices.

    Summary

    What has Viktor done to deserve this? At what point did Jayce come to value him so highly? Somehow, this bond of theirs grew so gradually, so subtly, escaping Viktor’s notice as it entwined itself into every facet of their lives, strangling all else with its roots until only its verdant bloom remained.

    “Let me go, Jayce.”

    The grip on him tightens. “I won’t.”

    No. He’s made that quite clear. Viktor lacks the strength to shake him off; if he tried, Jayce would surely release him, but to rob Jayce of his sole source of comfort would not be right, nor good, and so Viktor waits. A minute passes, then two, then four.

    The rune swallows them up, and abandons them in an unfamiliar land. Is this not what they wanted? With naught but the clothes on their backs, they are left to wander. To wonder.

    Summary

    An awkward discovery while cleaning leads from one thing to another and Sam finds himself under his best friend.

    He can barely believe what is happening, it feels so perfect. Like Seb's made just for him, and honestly, he might be because there's no one in the world that understands him so well. Even the way their bodies move against each other feels natural. And Seb looks so good, dark lust-filled eyes looking down at him with a smile that makes him feel like maybe he's not a total fuck up.
