Jayvik Gift Exchange 2023!

A gift exchange event for winter 2023! Gifting period: December 25th to January 1st 2024! 🔞 NSFW inclusive

[jayvikgiftexchange]

Hi all. Unfortunately we have some bad news to share. The mods have had a discussion and we've decided not to run the gift exchange this year.

We're very sorry if this comes as a disappointment to anyone who was thinking of participating.

We hope you will appreciate that running a fandom gift exchange is actually a lot of work and we're well aware of the time & effort involved after running the event in 2022 and 2023. With this in mind, we've agreed that we don't have the time this year to run the event.

We also considered the fact that Season 2 of Arcane will be released this November, halfway through our usual creation period. We would prefer to be able to watch and enjoy the new season without the additonal stress of managing the gift exchange.

We also believe that Season 2 will bring new people to the Jayvik fandom, and we will not be lacking for new art and fic from the fandom community this winter.

We wish you all well and hope you enjoy Season 2 when it's released! 💖

We just want to make a final post to wrap up this year's Jayvik Gift Exchange and thank all our participants for their hard work! 💖🎁💕

We encourage everyone to go through both our twitter account & the tumblr account, continuing to enjoy all the pieces that were made for this exchange! Keep retweeting, reblogging & leaving comments - our participants deserve all the love!

We also encourage you to check out the fics in the AO3 collection - I'm sure this year's writers will appreciate your kudos and comments! And Jayvik is forever, not just for Christmas!

Finally, we hope you're looking forward to Arcane Season 2 later this year! With the release set for November 2024, you can expect us to start organising our THIRD Jayvik gift exchange in September!

And thank you mod @sandskillart for our final piece of art to cap off this event! Mod Josie signing off for a well-deserved break now (lol) and kissing my fellow mods and all the participants, muah 😙💖

Here's a bonus for giggles:

When your dreams so strong you dream of alternative realities

A Lesson in Human Biology

Summary:

“I still can’t believe you’ve never seen one in person.” Viktor said with an eyebrow raised at Jayce and an incredulous look on his face, but also an attractive blush on his cheeks from the wine they’d been drinking.

Jayce could feel his face heat up and he tried to avoid Viktor’s gaze while shrugging nonchalantly.

“Like I told you V, I’ve never had a physical relationship like that before… But I know what it looks like—I’ve heard first-hand accounts from other students when I was staying in the Academy dorms.”

Another fic by me for the @jayvikgiftexchange 2023 and a gift for MachineGarden (aka MachineGarden_ on twitter)

hmm, I'll leave you to guess from the summary just what Jayce & Viktor are talking about... 🐱👀

Gifts Given in Secret

Summary:

The night was truly a test for Jayce’s willpower. His eyes were constantly scanning the room, searching for Viktor. A few times their eyes would meet and Viktor seemed completely unfazed, continuing his conversation with whoever he was talking to while smirking slyly at Jayce.

It was taking all of Jayce’s restraint not to excuse himself quickly from the conversation and march over to where Viktor was, before grabbing him and pulling him away to somewhere a bit more secluded and getting completely carried away.

Jayce and Viktor attend a fundraising gala on the eve before the Winter Festival, and they can't help getting carried away when given the opportunity for some privacy.
