my only memory is coming home: a soft hurt/comfort week bonus <3

[run-for-chamo-miles]

Fainting Versus Swooning: A Comparative Study

“I made tea with honey—” a mug is placed on the nightstand— “and the kitchen had complimentary crackers, so—” a sleeve is tucked next to the mug. “Do you like crackers?”

“What?”

The man gestures to the saltines. “Do you like them? I can find something else if you don’t.”

“They’re crackers,” Viktor responds. “I’m… neutral.”

Or: Viktor and Jayce meet for the first time at an academic conference. When Jayce finds Viktor sick and dizzy in the restroom, he resolves to nurse the man back to health.

My submission for Day 7 of @jayvikhurtcomfortweek, “Rescue”! Ending on a super comforting note with this one 💕

Observing You

“I’m sorry I kept this from you.”

Viktor puts his hand on Jayce’s thigh. “Don’t apologize for that.”

“No?”

“Of course not. I’m keeping all sorts of things from you.” This startles Jayce into a laugh, and Viktor grins. “We have plenty of time.”

Or: At the beginning of their partnership, Jayce tries to hide the fact that he has Tourette's. This proves difficult when they’re at work together all day—and now, sharing outings at night.

My submission for Day 6 of @jayvikhurtcomfortweek, “Relationship”!

About to post another fic for Day 7 👀

Homecoming, Pt. 1

Day 7 of @jayvikhurtcomfortweek - Rescue

Read It Here!

[jayvikhurtcomfortweek]

It’s the last day of jayvik hurt/comfort week and we thought it would be a good time to celebrate all of you ❤️

As of this writing there are nearly 60 new hurt/comfort fics in the collection! 

That’s 60 new fics about caretaking, OCD,  BPD, depression, disability, body image, recovery from addiction and self-harm. Many of these fics focus on Jayce’s post-canon trauma and acquired disability, which was one of our big hopes in starting the event. And 7 fics alone are about grounding and comforting someone you love when they need you. We all need a little of that right now! 

And we’re keeping the collection open, so it’s not the end, either. 

Friends, we’re just two guys with an inability to use Canva, a gay scientists hyperfixation, and a dream. We are so moved that at a time when the world feels so chaotic and cruel, all of you came together to write stories and make art about tenderness, acceptance, and love in the face of hardship. And we hope you find that softness in your own lives when you need it ❤️

It should be humiliating. Jayce used to be able to stand in front of the wealthiest people in Piltover and sell them a dream. Now he can’t buy eggs.

Jayvik I rated E I 56k - complete (posting one chapter per day) I post-canon, ghosts, hurt/comfort, cottagecore, trans Viktor, friends to lovers, PTSD, massages.

Summary: The first thing Viktor feels when he wakes up after being spat out by the Arcane is pain. He doesn’t make any noise. He’s used to it. What he’s not used to is the sudden, featherlight touch of someone else’s fingers on his face, softly brushing aside a lock of Viktor’s hair, as if he was something precious and fragile. “Hey,” someone says next to him. A deep rumble with a soothing tone. It’s not his mother’s voice. Viktor can’t remember his father’s. But this is familiar. It stirs something inside him, something deep and important that rises like a cresting wave in his chest. “Please open your eyes, Vik. Please, please, please…”

A massive, enormous, gigantic thank you goes to @fiend-for-culture for being the most fantastic alpha/beta/sensitivity reader and such a wonderful person. August, I wouldn't have been able to do this without your help! Thank you sooo much! Another big big thank you goes to @pato-roldnart for reading this story in its early stages and for dragging me into the Arcane fandom (gracias, Patito). And a shiny thank you goes to @bubble-gumhead for joining us in the screaming and for checking the first chapters of this fic. Thank you for reminding me that I could get it done!

This is for day one of the @jayvikhurtcomfortweek, using the prompt "self-sabotage". A big thank you to the mods for running the fest!

Read chapter one on AO3.

@jayvikhurtcomfortweek Day 7 - Rescue (Caretaking)

Hurt ------X--- Comfort

"Cait has a friend," Vi said, grinning. "Good for her." "We think you two would hit it off." Viktor rolled his eyes again, harder. "I do not need you to set up a play date for me."

Lying in a field of green grass, Jayce looks over at Viktor and implores, “Can that please be the worst year of our entire lives?”

Viktor stares up at the blue sky, eyes golden again, no longer swimming with myriad colors.

Viktor asks, after a long pause, “Has it been a year?”

Day 4 of @jayvikhurtcomfortweek: TRAUMA

Just when I keep telling myself that I need to stop getting so experimental with these pieces so that I can finish them faster, then this happens 💀 Day 5 may or may not come tomorrow depending on how much I can finish before I leave for a 7 hour shift at work LOL

(Photomanipulated screenshots come right from Arcane season 2 episode 7, they belong to Riot/Fortiche not me!!)

“How are you holding up?” Jayce asks, leaning in close.

“You are very handsome tonight,” Viktor offers, in lieu of answering, because Jayce knows the actual answer already. Viktor wants to crawl out of his own skin, leave it on the floor of this ridiculously opulent venue, and scurry back to their lab. Or their apartment.

Or beneath the table in the corner bearing a chocolate fountain.

Or beneath the table in the other corner which is straining under the weight of a very technically impressive ice sculpture of the Hexgate.
