JAYVIK #1 ON AO3 SHIP STATS?!???

dimensions

by fiveblessings

Rated E, 6k words, complete

Tags: plot what plot, Size difference, Feminization

Summary:

“What did I just tell you?” Viktor desperately wants to pull away, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s trapped. Jayce has backed him into a familiar corner, one where Viktor knows his only option left is to obey. “You told me not to hide.” “And what were you doing?” “I was hiding my—” Viktor’s blushing so badly it’s not just his cheeks that feel like they're on fire, but his whole body. An upsetting mix of arousal and shame makes him feel heavy and uncoordinated. Out of control. “—hiding my cock.”

Viktor has a complex about his size. It's just as well Jayce has a penchant for appreciating things in small packages.

To Fall From Grace

by phantasmagorical_rilianne

Rated E, 66k words, ongoing

Tags: Alternate Universe - canon divergence, explicit sexual content, Emotional Manipulation, politics, Eventual Happy Ending, Angst with a Happy Ending, zaunite viktor

Summary:

Viktor knew how he looked. With his sharp angles and hollowed cheeks and colt-like limbs, he was a serpentine god with all his alabaster beauty. The nobles whispered about it. The investors watched Viktor move, fascination warring with discomfort. The Council scoffed at the idea of a Zaunite on their board—until they saw him. Exotic. Ethereal. An exquisite thing to be coveted for themselves. Viktor had once despised it. Despised the way they stared, the way their fascination was always tinged with something possessive, as if he were a rare specimen on display. Loathed the murmurs in the Academy halls, the furtive glances that dogged him everywhere he went. Now? Now, he used it. If they should lust after him, they did so at their own peril. Desire was a fundamental human weakness. A distraction. A vulnerability. And if Jayce Talis wants to prove useful, then Viktor would use every weakness he had.

Or: Councillor Viktor, the fic.

Anatomy of Devotion

by ivv

Rated E, 53k words, ongoing

Tags: Alternate Universe - Victorian, Medical Experimentation, Partners in Crime, Eventual Happy Ending

Summary:

Lord Talis has an assistant he is scandalously close to. Whispers follow them through the halls of London’s elite—of experiments that push the bounds of decency, of midnight excursions and a patronage far too intimate to be proper. But Jayce cares little for propriety, not when Viktor’s health wanes, not when the supply of bodies dwindles and the lungs he so desperately studies decay too quickly beneath his scalpel.

Or: Victorian London, 1888. Surgeon Jayce Talis and his assistant Viktor have long since crossed the line of moral decency in pursuit of progress. As the city tightens its grip on the dead, desperation drives them to new measures—darker, bloodier, irreversible. But Jayce has never been one to balk at sacrifice, not when it comes to Viktor. Not when it comes to his love.

The night before the inaugural launch of the Hexgates, Hextech that Jayce and Viktor have been working on for over a year, neither Jayce or Viktor can sleep. Eventually, Jayce gives up on it and goes to the Hexgates to run over the calculations one last time to ensure they are ready for the demonstration later that day. Viktor is there, and the Hexgate is powered up and ready to activate. Jayce realizes too late that Viktor is intentionally standing in the transportation window and he has only enough time to shout Viktor's name before Viktor activates it and the Hexgate is powering it up. An instant later, Viktor is gone.

Summary:

On his equipment-hunting trips down to the undercity, Jayce falls in love with a pretty Zaunite who's good with his hands. All he needs to do now is pluck up the courage to talk to him. Viktor—raised under Vander's wing—is a thief, a liar, and not about to fall in love with a prettyboy topsider who can barely handle himself in the Lanes. Definitely not. Not even if Jayce shows him a little magic.

Summary:

He joins his hands in front of his lips trying to hide his growing smile. Oh, this is more than he had expected from a random Piltie, this is intriguing, “I am not easy to work with.” Jayce’s determination doubles, if possible, “I like challenges.” “My methods are a bit… unorthodox.” “I was once almost expelled from the Academy for blowing up my apartment.” “You should probably keep that one to yourself.”

Or, back in the parallel universe, where everyone is alive and happy, Jayce and Viktor meet under different circumstances.

Cleansing of the Temple

by Snoelled

Rated E, 48k words, complete

Tags: alternate universe - priests, explicit content, implied/referenced homophobia, D/S undertones, secret relationship

Summary:

“Father Viktor has brought back all those programs you whined about missing. The East Hall is being converted into a soup kitchen as we speak, and after Mass there’s going to be an open-doors Christmas meal,” his mother says wistfully, drinking in a sip from her mug. Jayce is going to have to see that for himself. His high income neighborhood and the prestigious, self-righteous families that attend the Church? Rubbing elbows with people in need for the holidays? Maybe he really does need to meet Father Viktor. And shake his hand.

Or: Jayce comes home for the holidays after a breakup to find a new priest at his childhood Catholic church. Father Viktor is not the kind of person Jayce ever expected to be a priest, but he has a dream to change Jayce's hometown for the better, and he decides to do everything he can to help. The more he helps, the more Jayce sees glimpses of Viktor, the man, not the priest. And the more glimpses he sees of Viktor, the more Jayce is so, so fucked.
