    Summary

    Instead of dissolving with Viktor like Jayce expected, he gets sent a decade into the past when Viktor didn’t even know him yet. Of course the logical action to take is to kidnap him. Meanwhile Viktor, twenty-two years old, figures that hey, as long as he can research magic, this isn’t too bad of a predicament.

    Or: Post-Season 2 Jayce and Season 1 Viktor, the grief of having lost your soulmate while having to look at his younger version who doesn’t even know you, the endless exhaustion of being a second-hand love and also science.

    Summary

    Jayce blames everything – the unhelpful interest, the obsessive observation, the scribbling in his notebook; the memorizing and cataloguing and compartmentalizing – on Viktor being… Viktor. An enigma. A game of chess against someone so much smarter. A whole universe of unknown stars hidden behind an accented voice, eccentricities and unexplained habits. Because that’s what Viktor is, in the end – silently challenging and unperceived and an unresolved force of nature. As a scientist, Jayce cannot sit by and let a seemingly unsolvable conundrum with countless unknown variables be.

    or: the inherent homoromanticism of getting to know your lab partner.

    Summary

    There are two things every Zaunite knows.

    One: You deserve nothing.

    Two: You will take it anyway.

    So when Viktor realizes he wants Jayce, the difference in their stations is entirely irrelevant. He's never wasted time in going after what he wants.

    Summary

    “…why…” He mutters. His throat hurts. “…why’m I here..? Why me?”

    Satoru knows that it’s a stupid question. He can think of a million and one reasons why he would be the one ripped from his home. Kenjaku smiles anyway. Wider. He pushes down on Satoru’s forehead.

    “Because you are a monster, Gojou Satoru-kun. Our job is to control monsters.” He leans closer. “And to find out what it is that makes you tick.”

    “I’m–“ Satoru’s eyes are wide. He thrashes again. “I’m not a–“

    “You are not allowed out of this.” Kenjaku continues. “No matter how hard you struggle, you will never escape us. Cooperate, and it will be bearable. Continue to struggle, and I cannot promise you even that.” The man’s smile drops.

    “Do you understand, Subject 001?”

    Summary

    Here are the reasons why Tubbo is okay:

    One, his best friend is alive.

    Two, he’s married.

    Three, his son is safe.

    Four, Dream is in prison.

    Five, Technoblade decided Snowchester isn’t enough of a government to be blown up.

    Six, Wilbur was revived a hell of a lot more reasonable than anyone thought and decided to fuck off into the woods rather than kill anyone.

    Seven, Tubbo has nukes, so if reasons four, five, and six turn out to be untrue, Tubbo can fix that real quick.

    --

    Or, Tommy gets a therapist. Tubbo works through some complicated feelings about it.
