    Summary

    In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that sounds similar to a word in your own, but differs significantly in meaning. No word in any Eridian language could possibly be mistaken for English. But Erid absolutely has false friends.

    In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. They are:

    1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software that reflects the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
    2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an area 51 and look forward to using it.

    Unfortunately, Grace hasn’t been in his right mind in years.

    Or: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –

    Rocky cannot be astronomical object. Rocky can only be Eridian.

    ABSTRACT: Months into their journey to Erid, Grace decides to pass the time and distract his wandering mind by writing a scientific paper. Considering his track record, it’s safe to say that absolutely nothing can go wrong with that.

    Summary

    How is he even supposed to respond to that?

    Thanks, I’m well aware of how people see me and how they want me. The one fumbling entanglement in the basement of a house party was enough for me though, because she found it weird when I started crying and then got so mad that I wouldn’t scent her that she left.

    And I only did it because she smelled so good, like a river, like fresh cut grass, and it made me so jealous I was dizzy with it. I wanted to be her, and I thought that was close enough to wanting her, and it wasn’t, and it took five minutes for my knot to go down after I locked myself in the bathroom to jerk off and I had a panic attack the whole time and then I threw up in the sink and vowed to be celibate for the rest of my life.

    “She’s not my type either,” he settles on, maybe more melancholic than he means to be.

    Summary

    “Care to explain?” Viktor lifted the object of Jayce’s equal parts horror and arousal into the scathing morning light.

    A pretty, pink bunny dress, bows lining the chests, and accented with wisps of white fur.

    “I-it’s not for you!“ His voice escaped him an octave higher, the squeak of a man mortally embarrassed by his own offering.

    “Eh, that much is quite obvious.” Viktor chuckled knowingly, it would have fallen off him even if he wanted to fit it.

    “You know how you said you wanted to try—“ he knew exactly what he meant to say but still insisted on floundering.

    Viktor had let it slip one night in the car after dinner with Jayce’s mom. Bathed in the red of the stoplight and molten with wine, it had escaped him like a sudden sneeze.

    Jayce wasn’t vanilla but it had still caught him momentarily off guard—so much so he missed the light—when Viktor let out that he wanted to fuck him like a limp, pliant sex doll.

    Or, the Christmas, Jayvik, dollification fic that I felt the world was lacking for some reason.

    "Can we try, uh, dressing up?"

    "For a formal event?"

    "No," Jayce says. "As wizards. For sex reasons."

    Summary

    "Hire a professional that fits your schedule, then," Viktor suggests. "There are many women who probe men's asses for a living."

    Jayce groans and squishes the heels of his palms into his eyes, dragging them down his face until they distort his features ghoulishly. "I know. I probably should at this point, just… I don't know. I want it to be more special than that?"

    "Such a romantic," Viktor deadpans.

    Jayce laughs. "Yeah, kinda. Not that it needs to be, like, wedding night sex, I just want—"

    "—Somebody who elected to be there without financial incentive."

    "Exactly."

    "Let me do it," Viktor says, right as Jayce is mid-gulp of his moscow mule. Perfect timing. He half chokes and half laughs, but Viktor is committing to the bit, his eyebrows raised expectantly.

    "Oh shit. Like actually, V?"

    Jayce has a kink he’s itching to satisfy. His lab partner finally puts him out of his misery.

    Summary

    “You are so pretty, Jayce. Such a lovely boy for me.” It is chaste almost, sweeter than any of the sparse dirty talk Viktor has tried before, and it practically lights the room on fire.

    “Oh fuck!” Jayce shouts, voice cracking and then, quite suddenly, he’s coming all over their chests.

    _________________

    It’s another curiosity, but one that makes Viktor tingle, makes him anxious and unsure. It probably says something about him, that he is more willing to experiment with Jayce’s response to feminine compliments than with his obviously possessive gaze. One is for Jayce’s enjoyment, for ensuring their sharing of pleasure may continue for some time. The other… Viktor wants too much.

    Jayce and Viktor have been sleeping together for a few weeks now and it's absolutely wonderful, if Viktor could just hold in his endless yearning. In his attempts to keep Jayce coming back for more, he starts exploring something he notices during one particular night of passion, and the sweetness of it all ends up revealing much more than he intended. It's a good thing Jayce is something of a professional yearner himself.

    Summary

    "Viktor knows with a sudden thumping certainty, as meaty as a heartbeat, that Jayce has come here to exact either creation or destruction. Viktor would tremble, his blood aquiver, if he still possessed blood, if he were still ruled by emotion.

    Split wide like a rotting fruit, the hammer is a magnificent and terrible thing to behold, brandished at full charge and dripping with violent potential.

    It is pointed directly at Viktor’s heart.

    From on high, all Viktor can do is stare back, frozen in shock, the responses he’d thought he’d excised from himself—the affection, the desperation, the fear—bursting through the door right alongside Jayce Talis."

    Summary

    “There is an, um. Orifice. Down there,” Viktor says, his gaze dropping to his own groin. “I don’t really know…what it is.”

    “What do you mean?”

    “Anatomically, its purpose is…unclear.” Viktor does this sometimes, retreating into talking in detached analytical terms about his own body. “I don’t need it to eliminate waste. Or to birth children, I suppose. But it is, ah…sensitive to touch.”

    Summary

    “I just introduced myself,” Jayce repeats defensively. He’s not sure what’s wrong with that, but the look on Viktor’s face is withering.

    “You gave Singed your name,” Viktor says bluntly, “Offered it up on a platter, and he took it from you. He holds your name now, and he is free to command you as he sees fit.”

    Jayce’s brain short-circuits. “What?”

    Viktor walks over to one of the many piles of books and picks up one of the thicker, dustier tomes. “Humans are all the same,” he mutters. “You all are obsessed with the arcane and what can be done with it, but you never take the time to learn the rules.”

    --

    After Viktor goes missing, Jayce takes matters into his own hands, then accidentally gets himself imprisoned right alongside his partner. Or, the fae-au.

    Summary

    His current project has to be perfect.

    While he’s not as picky as Viktor when it comes to prioritizing form over function, he does still prefer the most direct and structurally sound designs when crafting. Unfortunately, this particular piece is all about form. The curves of this plate of metal have been painstakingly coaxed into something familiar, but not quite right, so he keeps trying, heating and reheating the metal on repeat.

    Suddenly, he takes the mask out of the forge, waits for it to cool, stares.

    And the machine herald stares back at him.

    -

    Or, Jayce being very happy with his wonderful new post-canon life except for the part where the human brain deals poorly with trauma sometimes. Follow-up to previous work, won't mean much without reading it first.

    Summary

    Viktor is visited by a future version of Jayce, fresh from a world overtaken by the Arcane. And then it happens again. And again. And again.

    (originally meant to be a crack fic poking fun at the prevalence of the s1!Viktor and s2!Jayce trope, but then I decided to place Viktor lovingly into the torment nexus and shake him like he's a cobb salad I bought from the supermarket deli)

    Summary

    “If this Hextech thing doesn't work out,” Jayce drawls, slow and sweet, head still dangling awkwardly from his neck, except now he's facing Viktor. “You know what we should do?”

    This is a joke Viktor isn't in on. But now he's intrigued, so he draws up his good leg and rests his elbow on it, letting the quiet hum of music wash over him.

    “What,” he asks, “Should we do, Jayce?”

    Jayce is holding in a laugh. “Suicide pact.”

    (Public appearances are boring. Viktor steals Jayce away, and they reflect.)

    Summary

    He was never much for psychology, but he tells himself his unwillingness to desert Herbert, his obsession with being nearby to keep him safe, is simple transference and loss of meaningful direction in life. With Meg gone, he’s projected all his emotional attachments and need for companionship to Herbert. That’s all.

     

    That’s all.

     

    He lays boneless on his narrow cot after eight straight hours of meatball surgery, staring at the knobby line of Herbert’s spine as he peels off a gore-soaked shirt. He has an urge to cross the few feet between them and pick up the basin of water, to take the rag Herbert is reaching for himself and dab away the sweat and dirt and blood from his partner and feel the skin of someone living.
    ---------------------------

    Every choice Dan makes with Herbert West feels like the brink of no return-and when you step off of a cliff it's only a matter of time before you reach the bottom.

    Canon divergent from Bride of Reanimator starting after Peru (no building of the bride.) All sexual content at the very end, for those who wish to skip.
