Some untold time later, Viktor wakes to a soft sound from the doorway. Jayce remains sound asleep beside him, having managed to somehow loop an arm around Viktor’s thigh. When he attempts to shift away, Jayce tightens his grip, eliciting a wince from Viktor. By now, the limb has gone numb and stiff, but he stays put, trapped by his sleeping partner’s need and affection. This makes realising who is at the door all the more mortifying.

"Mrs. Talis."

“Viktor. Viktor. Viktor, please—Viktor!”

The simple act of opening his eyes requires monumental effort, but he manages to lift eyelids that feel like they’re welded to his orbital bones. Jayce’s face swims into focus above him, tear-streaked and moon-pale.

“You’re alive—”

Singed stands silent behind him, his breath soundless. His presence feels like a phantom, his stillness like a statue over a grave.

“Should I assume, since Viktor did not return, the results were… not as expected?”

Jayce sets the mask down, levelling the man with a venomous stare. “Are you asking if he’s dead?”

“Is he?”

Ch. 33 of Lies we tell ourselves is up!
Chapter teaser
“So… You’re really not just doing this for you?” Violet asks, her voice quiet but falling short of sceptical.

“Never just for me,” Viktor answers, his words equally soft, yet solid as the cobblestones of the Piltover street beneath them.

What might it mean to thrive? To no longer have to fight for the right to exist?

Viktor’s hand closes around the clasp, feeling the cold metal of the topmost gear leaving an impression in his palm like a secret promise.

He straightens against the wall, his crutch clicking as he adjusts his weight. “Shall we continue?”

chapter excerpt
Chapter 33: In Glorious Evolution

The meeting place Viktor has chosen sits at the farthest point of the wharf, where conversations can dissolve into the ambient sounds of lapping water and distant machinery. Few venture this far out; the fragility of the structure discourages casual traffic. Crates of varying sizes cluster at the edge, remnants of shipments long since processed and forgotten.

He shifts, redistributing his weight to ease the sharp ache building in his hip from sitting on one such crate. As a chair, it leaves much to be desired, but seeing that the trip down to the wharfs has rendered him near catatonic with fatigue, he’s grateful for any place to sit, even if it’s a rickety, barnacle-growing crate. Though the night is cool, it’s humid, and the gusts of air over the water make him draw the blanket around his shoulders (ridiculous though it is, Jayce insisted he take it) tighter around himself.

Two silhouettes materialise from the fog—one striding with purpose, the second with a step so quick it is almost gleeful. Viktor glances from the approaching figures to the other side of the wharf, where the sounds of dock workers echo from further away. No sign of Ekko. Viktor leans his weight into his crutch and stands with a soft groan, ignoring the protest of his aching joints.

Violet walks up to him first, her face pinched with apprehension. Jinx hovers behind her, electric blue eyes scanning the mist-shrouded dock as if expecting an ambush.

“Good evening,” Viktor greets, too tired to properly assuage their fears.

They exchange a glance—Violet's questioning, Jinx's unreadable—a silent negotiation forged through blood, betrayal, and tentative reconciliation. Violet jerks her chin, the motion seeming to act half as a permissive nod and half as a gesture towards Viktor.

When Jinx hands over the shimmer, there’s a peculiar care in the action that doesn’t match her usual frenetic movements. Her fingers curl around the vial protectively before releasing it, as if its contents represent something beyond mere chemical value.

“One count of your-bad-decisions-in-a-vial, as requested,” she announces, but beneath the performative nonchalance, something flickers—a shadow crossing her face too quickly to name. “Vi said you’re trying to do some kind of doctor shit.”

Viktor accepts the shimmer, pausing to glance between the two sisters. He supposes it’s only fair Jinx know what she’s getting involved in. “In a manner of speaking,” he answers, tucking the vial away without looking at it. “If our theory is correct, properly refined shimmer could be the key to accessing incredible healing power.”

“To fix problems like yours?” Her eyes, bright in a way that makes him think of beacons, fix upon his face with unnerving clarity. He briefly wonders which ‘problem’ of his she’s referring to. He shrugs.

“Among others.”

The chaotic energy that typically radiates from her becomes sharp, and Viktor feels it like a focused beam. She studies him, head tilted like a predator assessing prey, before stepping back with a decisive nod. “Good enough. For now.” The last words carry a subtle warning—her cooperation has terms, conditions unspoken, perhaps not even understood, but certainly acknowledged.

Viktor turns too quickly, balance wavering as his crutch slips on the damp wood. Ekko stands at the far end of the dock, silhouetted against the grey haze of the city. His stance is coiled as if to make himself impervious, hood pulled low over his face.

Then, Ekko sees Jinx. The temperature seems to plummet by several degrees. The wharf no longer feels like neutral ground but a battlefield with unstable alliances—all it would take is a word, a movement, a spark, even in this dampness.

“What is she doing here?” His words cut across the distance, salt-bitten and sharp like a gust at sea.

Ekko, wary to begin with as always, was a hard sell when it came to the necessity of using shimmer. Ekko’s initial reaction—plants overturned, notes scattered like startled birds taking flight, Thomas looking as if he might leap the barrier like a terrified jackrabbit—had been predictable, even manageable. But this, the venom in his voice at the sight of Jinx, Viktor has failed to account for.

Violet’s shoulders square, her body angling to position herself between her sister and Ekko. Jinx goes unnaturally still, her frantic air condensed into something harder, more dangerous.

“I have a request that requires your collaboration,” Viktor says into the charged silence, each word measured. “I thought it most efficient to address you all at once.”

He watches the calculation behind Ekko’s eyes, the furious recalibration as his hands clench into fists, tension rippling up his forearms. His jaw locks, the muscle there twitching beneath skin that’s gone tight with restraint.

This is not a very auspicious start to the meeting.

“Do you have proof?”

“Not the kind that would stand up in a Council hearing,” Viktor admits, fingers tightening around his cup. He thinks of Caitlyn Kiramman and her investigation, the tightrope between duty and justice. “We are… working on it. But people are dying, growing ill at an alarming rate—”

“I understand your frustration,” Mel counters evenly, prompting Viktor’s urge to argue ‘no you don’t’—”but what else do you and Jayce know about these crystals? How dangerous are they, really? What aren’t you telling me?”

“There is much I haven’t told you, Councillor. I must ask you to be more specific.”v

“Are you ready?”
“Am I ready? You are the one climbing into that thing.”
His partner’s eyes scan his face thoughtfully before he surges forward to capture Jayce’s mouth with his own. There is a frantic quality to the kiss, more so because they’ve committed to avoiding such outright displays of affection in the lab.
He’s breathless when he pulls away, letting his hands cup Jayce’s face. “You come back to me.”
“Always.”

He reaches out with a steady hand, fingertips alighting softly at the strong, smooth angle of Jayce’s jaw. “But you still try to shoulder too much, still think if you just work hard enough, care deeply enough… That you will solve the problem.” Hope is a beautiful thing, but it is also a dagger plunged over and over again. To hope is to make room for devastation.

“You must promise me…” Viktor purses his lips in contemplation. His hand against Jayce’s jawline feels heavy. “Promise me you love me enough to let me go, if it… comes to that.”

“Would you be rough if I wanted it?” The question conjures images that sear through Jayce’s mind—pushing Viktor back into his mattress, claiming his mouth with the possessive urge that has lurked in his bones since the first time he called Viktor ‘my partner’.

Jayce groans, eyes squeezed shut, helpless against the precision of Viktor’s words. “Or would you keep telling me no? I won’t tolerate a man who treats me like glass, Jayce. I will trust you with my limits, but do not presume to know my body better than I do.”

Chapter teaser from fanfic: “I’m dying, Jayce,” Viktor whispers into the fabric of Jayce’s jacket, the words barely more than an exhale.

Jayce’s embrace tightens around him, the hand in his hair lowering to the nape of his neck. The touch is achingly gentle, like Viktor is something precious.

“Then let’s not waste time.” His voice is rough with emotion but steady with conviction. “If I have to mourn you, let me have loved you first.”

our mid-week #jayvik fic update is always a wild ride (posting this whislt in a workshop rn lmao) archiveofourown.org/works/615707...

Ch. 26 of Lies we tell ourselves is up! Chapter teaser: "Come back to my place?" The offer is gentle, searching.

"Whatever for, Jayce?" Viktor’s tone lacks its usual sharpness, replaced with genuine curiosity and a hint of something Jayce has never heard before.

He hesitates, wondering if that note is something like an insinuation—but, no, it couldn't possibly be. "Been ages since we shared a drink, talked, and… Feels overdue. Especially after all… this."

chapter excerpt
Chapter 26: Hypocrites and Hypolithons

The lab buzzes with an urgent energy as Ekko sits across from them, arms tucked around himself. The ragged state of his olive green jacket looks out of place against the pristine gleam of their workstations, but he wears it like armour. The defiance that sometimes makes itself apparent in Viktor’s personality is on full display in Ekko. It reminds Jayce of Vi in ways that make their shared upbringing in the Undercity clear.

“I was thinking about what you said about the arcane,” Ekko says, flicking a stark white dread from his eyes as he gestures to the collection of plant trial notes Sky accumulated for him. “See here, your trials indicate the burning of resources—too fast, and too little. It’s what I’m seeing with my tree. But you said something like that shouldn’t be possible, because this land is magically scarce, right?” He directs his words to Viktor, as he has most of the afternoon. Jayce tries not to be offended by that and blames their frantic introduction.

Viktor nods in response. “Yes, it is as I was saying the day we met. I theorise that proximity plays a role in this kind of deterioration. For us, the Hexcore. For you, something… different.”

Jayce watches Ekko spread several sketches of his tree’s deterioration across the table. The leaves show peculiar decay patterns—not the usual browning from drought or disease, but an almost crystalline brittleness at the edges.

“These patterns,” Viktor leans forward, tracing the edge of one leaf illustration with a finger, “they mirror the accelerated senescence we observe in our trials when the arcane energy is improperly channelled.”

Jayce looks between the two in front of him, then down at the sketches again. “V—could this be related to—” he begins, attracting Viktor’s rapt attention.

Viktor nods, eyes lighting with the spark of scientific discovery despite his exhaustion. “Yes, I was thinking the same.”

“You two care to clue me in?” Ekko questions, sounding less annoyed than he does curious.

He looks content and smiles vaguely, his face propped up on his palms. Swirly hexcore scars are imprinted on the inside of his right wrist, a crown of light fingerprint impressions glowing on his forehead.

Great meta from Reddit user Deilmo on disability and Jayce's speech to Viktor:

Summary of meta from Reddit user Deilmo: “As a disabled person: Jayce's speech shouldn't be read as literally as he says it. YES, the disease was killing him, but that's not the point of his speech…. Viktor has always been ostracized because of his disability… They were weaknesses that were in the way of his ambitions, problems to get rid of. He internalized that because Piltover's accessibility and awareness is abysmal… In reality, however, the problem isn't Viktor or his leg or his disease (no matter if it's killing him or not), the problem is systemic… But Viktor doesn't see that, and mostly even if he did he can do nothing about it. So the only way he saw he could "fix" his problem was by fixing himself. Curing his disease, his leg, and in the long run curing everyone… Jayce's speech isn't here to say "your disease was never a problem." Jayce's speech is pointing out to Viktor that his health issues weren't the problem that society ALWAYS (indirectly) told him it was.”

Continued summary of the meta I shared from Reddit user Deilmo: “This is a reality that a lot of disabled people will one day come to face: life happens, you get sick, you get fucked up and there's no "getting better" and while it sucks to wake up everyday in pain, it's your life.The hardest part of a disability isn't the disability (usually), it's the lack of support from society, lack of awareness of people, the lack of access to healthcare, paliative care, appropriate mobility aids. In short: the hardest part of disability is society's unwillingness to acknowledge disabled people as people AS WORTHY as any other person. Jayce is saying that Viktor's worth isn't tied to how strong or weak he is, that his strengths and weaknesses were always part of him but never dictated how worthy he was.”

Continued summary of the meta I shared from Reddit user Deilmo: “Spend any time with a disabled group of people and they'll usually tell you: the hardest part of it is how society is unfit (sometime on purpose) to include disabled people among its people, pushing them to the side of society. But also, the lack of empathy, care and respect from other (abled) people. Disabled people are seen as lesser than, a hinderance, a poor little thing to coddle, inspirationnal porn, but rarely seen as just.. people. In that speech, Jayce is acknowleding Viktor as a person as worthy as anyone else.”

haha oops i forgot to update over here when i put up chapter 25 of our #jayvik fic yesterday!! OTL sorry y'all archiveofourown.org/works/615707...

“I thought that… to keep it all to myself was to retain some measure of control over it.” Viktor realises now that his possessive company has been false. Illness is not a lover kept, but a growing shadow, spreading further and further until isolation is all he knows. “ When Viktor looks up, it is to meet the forlorn concern in Jayce’s eyes with threadbare honesty. “I am tired.”

“Let me.” Jayce’s request is a revelation. Viktor knows this is the end of his twisted relationship with his illness and the nascence of something much more complicated. It begins as a flutter, delicate as moth wings against his ribcage, frantic wing beats under his sternum. “Do you trust me?”

That sensation grows in his chest, threading between his ribs—a warmth that borders on ache, a fullness too vast to cage behind ribs and reason. “Of course I do.”

“Then let me carry this with you, Viktor. Please.”
