    Summary

    "All that is to say… I thought it would be helpful for us to be… partners. Together. Dating," Jayce says. "If that's okay with you?" He practically trips over himself to add.

    Viktor's still frowning. He looks at Jayce like he's a puzzle, the same as an invention malfunctioning when they don't know why. "Jayce," he says, smoothly cutting through the butterflies in Jayce's stomach. "I am… flattered, by your words. But I'm afraid I have some reserves."

    ---
    Jayce feels obligated to start a relationship. Viktor helps him realize he doesn't need to do that.

    Summary

    “You do not know?”

    “Know what?”

    She stared at him.

    “Viktor was arrested last night,” she said, and Jayce’s heart froze in his chest. “He is to be tried for indecency in two weeks.”

    [Or: After unwittingly becoming a scapegoat of an elaborate plan of Piltover’s higher echelons to eschew observing their own strict laws, Viktor finds himself caught at the heart of a scandal. Jayce, raised to heed the very values which condemned him, is forced to either take the leap or stand idle and watch his life fall apart. A Maurice and Giovanni's Room inspired AU.]

    Summary

    “You want to feel human, yes?”

    Jayce eyes him warily. “Yes.”

    “And you want to… come across as one? Unless I’ve misunderstood something.”

    “You-” it snaps its mouth shut before trying again. “Yes, you’re right. I want people to think I’m like them.”

    Viktor uncurls his fingers and leans back. Oh, how this enraptures him. The irony isn’t lost on him, an android desperate to be human and a human desperate to be machine. But, perhaps, if the transition could work in one direction, it could work in the other as well. Commutative property, and all that.

    A deep breath. Here goes: “I think I can make your dream a reality. If you’ll allow me to,” he tacks on haphazardly.

    Or: Silly Jayce! Emotions are for humans!

    Summary

    It's March, and Viktor knows he doesn't have long left to live. His friends only know that his health isn't great, but not that he's dying. How could he tell them? What could he possibly say to Jayce? No, better to just keep quiet.

    Then the unthinkable happens: Ambessa Medarda, for reasons of her own, offers to fund state-of-the-art surgery for him, and suddenly the preciousness of hope dangles enticingly in front of him.

    “Viktor?” Jayce’s one word question actually means: excuse me? What? Que? Please explain your outlandish comment?

    “I need some time off. Just for a bit. Probably. Then I will be back. Also probably.”

    “Probably?” What does that mean? ‘Probably’? That sounds incredibly suspicious. “I need more information.”

    What Viktor says next, and in the same tone he uses for what coffee do you want? knocks Jayce for six.

    “I am having possibly life-saving surgery, and then I need time to recover.”

    Jayce doesn’t so much sit down, as fall backwards. Fortunately his desk is right behind him, otherwise Jayce would be but a sad flesh puddle on the floor. He runs that bewildering sentence back through his mind, trying to sift out the meaning.
