After the destruction of the wild rune, Jayce and Viktor wake up in the council chamber, astonished to find themselves alive. The real surprise, however, is Viktor-fully healed and with no sign of his former struggles. But their brief joy quickly crumbles when they meet with Piltover's leaders-and Viktor is arrested. For Jayce, it feels as though his world has fallen apart. Just when he thought he'd regained his closest friend, he's at risk of losing him again. Determined to prevent this, Jayce vows to do everything in his power to help Viktor win his trial. But as the trial unfolds, their bond will be tested again. In the midst of the chaos, deeper feelings begin to surface, leaving them questioning if their connection has grown into something far greater than friendship. _________________________________________ This JayVik fanfiction picks up where Arcane ends, filling in the gaps left by the canon with my own take on what comes next. Please forgive any mistakes in my interpretation of the plot;)

Crossposted on Ao3 Everyone has one, an invisible red string around their pinky that glows when their soulmate is near. Well, everyone except Viktor, who's been using every lab at his disposal to find out why.

After the events in the lab, Jayce and Viktor struggle to discuss what happened between them. They try to maintain professionalism and focus on their work, but it turns out to be far more challenging than they initially thought. A new obstacle arises in the form of Anthony, who has no intention of giving up on his desires so easily. ⚠️ To understand this part, it's necessary to read the series: "Sextech" Jayvik, which is it's first part.⚠️ Illustration by @iellimau on X.

"Walls We Built" Jayce's life has always been about keeping people out. The walls he's built around himself are thick, forged from years of abuse and silent suffering. He's perfected the art of hiding his pain, masking it behind a mask of arrogance and the occasional taunt. He bullies Viktor, not because he wants to, but because Viktor reminds him of himself and so he uses him as an outlet. Viktor knows what it's like to keep others at a distance. His own history has taught him that trust is a dangerous thing. But when Jayce stumbles back into their dorm one night, bloodied and barely holding it together, something shifts. Viktor starts to wonder if there's more to Jayce than the walls he's built. And maybe, just maybe, they both need to let those walls fall-if only they can figure out how. -------- Art: @/bagriBY on X
