Hehe I asked my twitter which Jayce and Viktor would be (girl dads or boy dads) all said girl dads so this is that! Idk I might change her eyes but even so she’s a cutie

[goddessofroyalty]

A quick collection of parenting culture-clashes that happened in Zaun Family between Jayvik and (mostly) Silco based on things that have happened in my family:

All of Silco's kids spent basically until they could walk being carried about by someone nearly constantly unless sleeping so when Viktor and Jayce intentionally put Naph on the ground (on a blanket) he is very confused and the sentence "What the fuck is floor time" is uttered when they try to explain that it's good developmentally for a baby

Silco has done the thing where while Naph is teething he's just dunked his finger in his whisky on the rocks and then run it along Naph's gums (a very common way to help with teething before modern numbing gels were created). Jayce does almost squeak out "did you just give my son alcohol?" at it

Naph when newborn sleeps in a cot with only a thin blanket where he is safe (from SIDS). All of Silco's kids when newborn slept in his and Vander's bed to keep them safe (from people breaking in).

Jayce and Viktor have one of those modern baby harnesses. Silco thinks it's dumb because as far as he's concerned all you need is long piece of fabric. Flip side of this is that Jayce and Viktor probably go for the baby swaddling onesie things while Silco can swaddle in that same piece of fabric.

Jayce and Viktor purchase/invent many things in the lead up to Naph's birth that Silco thinks are a waste of money/time. He ends up being right for about half of them.

Had time this morning so figured I'd get the "genetic comparison chart" for if Isha is the final Vanco baby out of the way. See below

Where she gets that button nose and upturned eyes from I have no idea.

Of note is that way back when there was a joke that if the Jayvik baby (who takes after Viktor) and the final Vanco baby were born around the same time they'd sometimes get mixed up and well:

Yeah I'd believe that.

Still not a prompt fill (I will start on them I swear!) but I’ve been meaning to write Viktor deciding he wants to have a baby with Jayce because of scientific curiosity for a while now. So I am glad this is written.

And yes I did have an image of them both open while I was writing this to compare which features I think Viktor would prefer from which one of them.

----------------

Viktor doesn’t often get to watch Jayce work.

There is nearly always something else that can be done while Jayce creates a new casing or frame-part. Either wiring to be soldiered or a formula to continue working through. So much work to be done and never enough hours in the day.

Not this time. They had hit a point where nothing further could be done until Jayce finished forging the guard that would separate the Hextech core from the external mechanisms. So Viktor had joined him at the Talis’ Forge despite having complete faith in Jayce’s ability to do it right.

Supervising just feels more productive than merely waiting. And Viktor does enjoy watching his partner work on the rare opportunities he can allow himself to.

He will not deny that Jayce is impressive to watch when he is at work.

His shirt has been abandoned from the heat giving Viktor full view of the muscles of his partner’s broad shoulders shining from sweat and golden from the light of the furnace. The alpha’s strength on full display with each hammer fall. The profile of his face defined by the shadows cast by his features.

From the moment he met him Viktor knew Jayce was impressive, both in body and mind.

The physical part was impossible for anyone to miss. Jayce was stunning to look at, the very definition of an ideal alpha. Strong and fit but not hulking. Broad shoulders that taper into a defined waist and warm arms that it is so very easy to imagine being carried in. He is fit and healthy and seems to naturally draw the eyes of all around him.

But it was Jayce’s mind that had actually made Viktor interested in him. The ideas in his notes were genius even if Viktor had seen where they could be improved. Jayce hadn’t disappointed after they started working together. His intelligence may not be the same as Viktor’s, but the ease he could conceive and create the exact tool to fix the problem before them was inspired. Working with him was working with Viktor’s true intellectual equal.

Viktor can hardly blame the fans that fawn over his partner when Jayce makes public appearances. Anyone would want Jayce as a mate. His genetics alone ample reason before adding in his gentle kindness and sweet awkwardness.

All of it traits his hypothetical children could inherit.

Although if Viktor seriously considers the possibility of Jayce and children, then, while Jayce has many traits that would be desirable to see passed down, he is not perfect.

While Jayce’s hands are very skilled at what they do they lack the fineness and dexterity of Viktor’s own. So a child would do well to inherit from Viktor instead in that regard.

Even with his strong square jaw Jayce’s brow and eyebrows always seem to overpower his face. It would be good for a child to have one more like Viktor’s – less prominent and with a lower hairline to soften it.

While Viktor appreciates Jayce’s intelligence far more than the average person he will admit his bias in preferring that his own would be passed onto any child of theirs.

Then there are the things that matter less which way they go. Jayce’s skin may seem to glow under the golden light of his forge or the sun but Viktor’s hardly blemishes apart from a mole here or there. They both have good eyesight and neither possess a particularly outstanding eye colour. The texture of both their hairs is equal in strengths even if different.

Together they could make a glorious child.

Viktor would be remiss not to consider how difficult a pregnancy would be for him before letting his mind follow the thought any further. His body is deteriorating, he knows, and the weight of a baby on his spine would do it no favors.

Hextech hadn’t been easy either though. And it had been worth all the effort and pain and risk it took to create.

He would need only do it once to test his hypothesis.

“What are you thinking about Vik?” Jayce asks, taking off the wielding goggles as he turns around. The rest of his gear already put aside.

“I think I want a baby.”

Jayce stumbles, knocking into the table next to him. Catching himself to lean against it. The muscles in his arm bulging from the force he’s pushing down on it with.

“What?” he asks, free hand gesturing emptily. “Like generally or-“

“No, with you.” Viktor cannot say he ever thought about having a child before. His work always far too important. The idea of having one with someone else is not at all appealing. But with Jayce-

They created Hextech together as partners. The kind of child they could make together actually feels exciting in the way the early days of their partnership did. An unexplored potential that Vitktor wants to see reached.

“Right,” Jayce says, glancing at Viktor then up at the ceiling and then the floor in rapid succession. His hand comes to scratch behind his ear as he pushing himself off the table to stand fully upright. “Like now?”

“Well conception rarely is successful on the first try,” Viktor says, reaching for his cane as he stands up and walks over to Jayce. More to pace as he explains the process than anything. “And a pregnancy takes 40 weeks if it goes to full-term. So in about a year. If we start trying now.”

It is better they do it sooner than later if they are going to. How long before the deterioration of Viktor’s body makes him unable to carry a pregnancy an unknown.

“You’re serious,” Jayce says with a weak laugh.

“Of course. I would not joke about something like that.” It would be cruel to. “So do you want to or not?”

“Yes! I mean, if you want. Are you sure? It’s- You’ll- Us- A baby-“ Jayce stutters adorably. Viktor hopes their child inherits Jayce’s earnestness. “Do you want to start trying now?”

Viktor gives a hum of contemplation.

“We can install that first,” he decides, pointing to the guard that should be nearly done cooling. “But tonight, yes. If that works for you.”

“I don’t have any other plans,” Jayce jokes awkwardly and Viktor notes Jayce’s smile as another thing he hopes they inherit.

what about Isha as a Jayvik kid she looks so much like VIktor afterall

Oh good point!

I think it was just because I've been looking for another character for Vanco kid (and fact she's following Jinx around) that my mind jumped to that association.

But she does fit well as a Jayvik kid. And once again Jayce got his wish that their child take after Viktor because she's borderline a mini-me for Viktor.

[goddessofroyalty]

At a convention and we're listening to the Arcane Season 2 Soundtrack while we do thinks so my minds mulling over Zaun Family and I thought of a funny moment of when Viktor tells Jayce he's going to have another younger sibling (Silco's pregnancy with Isha).

Because Jayce probably doesn't immediately jump to adoption and he assumes Vikor's parents are in their 50s. So he immediately is like "How?"

Which is earning him a look. And then he corrects that he assumed Silco was in his 50s. Which Viktor corrects that no actually Silco is in his 40s. Jayce then asking (to be sure) what Viktor's age is and Viktor tells him his age. Jayce very quickly doing the mental math and coming to the conclusion that "Silco would have been-"

"18 when he had me. Yes. He was. Is that a problem?"

"No. No problem just. Wow. That's young. If we had a kid then they would be like 5 now. Which- uh-"

"Already thinking of children Jayce? You haven't even asked me out on a date, how do you know I will say yes?" Viktor says, teasing and successfully causing Jayce to bluescreen for the next little while.

I love the thought of a teenage Vander and Silco with a baby/toddler Viktor. Mainly because I'm imagining serious/important revolution plans/negotiations being interrupted because they have to take care of the baby.

For example, the pair has to stop in the middle of one of their meetings because Viktor woke up from his nap and is screaming like a banshee in the other room for food. Or, Vander is talking to a potential ally for the cause and has Viktor attached to his hip because the toddler refuses to be put down. Or, Silco has Viktor strapped to his chest while he runs errands with Sevika/Felicia around Zaun.

(I would die for a fanfic like this.)

I know! I think the idea of Vander and Silco with a young Viktor during their early revolutionary days was one of the things that really sold me on this verse.

Because while they're not completing lacking in babysitters (Benzo has been around since day one even if Silco had the Milk Leash until Viktor was weaned) there is a lot of things they kind of didn't have a choice but to have Viktor with them for. He was at furthest only a room over in all their early revolution planning because anyone they would trust with him is also in the room with them.

There would be meetings where he was in the corner playing with his toys only to interrupt by coming over to climb into one of his parents laps because he was sleepy and the meeting paused to get him settled and asleep (often in his parents lap). Times where their plans include a step where they meetup to hand Viktor from one to the other because they both need to do things that day they don't want their son around for. Times where they've had people arriving for meetings as they're getting him ready for bed for the night.

As much as possible I do think they try and just keep what they're doing going while caring for Viktor. So when he does wake up hungry, once they've got him settled and eating the meeting keeps going just with one of them helping a toddler eat. People are met with and errands are ran and Viktor is just there.

Nobody really questions it either because it's probably very common in Zaun for young children to just be with their parents while their parents go about things.

I will say with Sevika because of the age gap I think is between her and Vander/Silco she wasn't around yet when Viktor was very young (on account of being maybe 10 herself when he was born) but joined up around the time Claggor and Mylo were born (and she in her mid-teens). So while she was definitively part of "young Revolutionaries and their Toddler" the Toddler wasn't Viktor (he instead being safety in Their Child territory).

(It was already on the mental list but it is now on the physical list as well).
