    Summary

    “So, run it by me one more time.”

    Vi paced the length of the room with her chin pinched firmly between her fingers. She had been tracing a wide oval on the floor, her boots clanking heavily with every step. They had been over the plan several times already, Viktor lamented soundlessly, but he understood her nerves. Ekko, who was busy spinning himself in one of Viktor’s office chairs, slowed to a stop with an exaggerated groan, dragging the toe of his shoes along Viktor’s floor. “Vi, how many more times are you gonna make us—”

    “Until it’s perfect, Ekko.” Vi interrupted brusquely. “Everyone needs to be on the same page about what they’re doing, where they’re supposed to be, and what we’re after. We’re not gonna get another shot at this for months if we fail.”

    --

    OR: The kids from Zaun have a plan—find whatever Jayce Talis has been working on and steal it. The Progress Day Gala is the perfect opportunity to do so. The only issue? Viktor has to attend to "present" his research to Heimerdinger. He should be in and out quickly—just long enough to get Vi into place and dip. If all goes smoothly, he'll never have to interact with Jayce Talis at all. Simple, right?

    Summary

    “So your hot genius Zaunite roommate has been taking up all of your time and brainspace but it’s not a crush,” Caitlyn finalizes. “Makes sense to me. Super normal way to feel, Jayce.”

    Jayce groans miserably.
    “I know, I’m working on it,” he says. “I just want him to be comfortable. There’s been a lot of bad shit in our past. If I can show him that things can change here, I will.”

    Cait looks at him fondly. “That’s a very noble goal, Jayce.”

    Jayce really, really wishes he could agree that any of his Viktor-related goals are noble. From where he sits, they’re all varying degrees of selfish, licentious, unrealistic, and horny.

    -

    Or: Viktor’s on exchange to Piltover from Zaun. Jayce is his assigned roommate. Everything else — well, that remains to be seen.

    Summary

    Viktor’s voice is an ethereal whisper in Jayce’s thoughts as light blazes through the darkness of space like a supernova.

    "Live, Jayce."

    Jayce abruptly finds himself on the precipice again.

    ---

    Following the events of the series finale, Viktor once again saves Jayce and unwittingly revives himself as well. Viktor is determined to undo his past mistakes, even if that means leaving Jayce behind. That idea is complicated by their souls now being intertwined.

    And fate isn’t done with them yet.

    Summary

    It is an incredibly frustrating thing, to have the knowledge of how to do something, without the practical skill needed to do so.

    Viktor had tried several iterations of a new brace for his leg with what he had at his disposal, but all of them lacked the strength for true support, let alone longevity. This one had outlasted all the others at least, but had given out at what had to be the most inconvenient moment possible.

    At least it is still mostly holding his weight, and he takes care to shift his cane tight to his hip to provide as much help as possible after he feels the give and bend of one of the bars. “Shit.”

    Or: Viktor accidentally falls into a partnership with a blacksmith, after his leg brace breaks in the middle of the city.

    Summary

    Twelve seconds. That’s all it takes. Or maybe less – twelve seconds is how long Ekko turns his back for before –

     

    “Hey, nice little gadget you got here. Looks like…time manipulation, am I right? Fuuun. I have got to get me one of these.”

     

    Alternatively: the parent trap but with time travel
