I absolutely adore your Ximena Jayce and Viktor one-shots. They’re so sweet and perfect, like optimally tailored they’re so comforting <3
i’m so glad u enjoy them !! here is a little bullet point continuation of my fic caution: children at play that includes more ximena ! (all you need to know is that regressors are known, the boys regressed at the lab when it started snowing, and ximena is a cg for both of them)
ximena shows up to collect her boys as soon as heimerdinger contacts her; they’ve been entertained by his little ditties and close up magic (particularly jayce) but they’re very happy to have their mami come pick them up
she brings an extra coat for jayce and a scarf and gloves for viktor. she knows jayce runs hot but he’ll be grateful for the physical barrier between him and the snow, and viktor will refuse most offerings but the gloves will at least keep his fingers from getting too stiff with cold around his cane.
viktor’s very excited to tell mami about the work they did and their experiments and how good he was at taking care of jayjay even as jayce pipes up that they were just playing, he’s a big boy, viki didn’t need to take care of him
ximena just chuckles and tells viktor that she’s so proud of him and asks jayce what they were playing, which distracts him long enough for ximena to usher them into the nice warm apartment
she helps jayce with his boots first—hard when he keeps swinging his feet excitedly—and then waits to see if viktor will ask for her help. even regressed, he’s an independent boy, but when he quietly asks his mami if she’ll take off his brace so he can get into comfy clothes, she beams with pride and immediately moves over to help him
jayce is already off to pull out his toy box from under his bed, so ximena can fully focus on helping her older boy with his brace. it’s certainly a learning experience, like adjusting to losing two of her fingers and then relearning how to use her prosthetics, but she’s more than happy to take the time to do it
once her boys are both changed into comfy clothes, she sits on the couch with viktor and massages his leg while they watch jayce play with his cars. a couple times, viktor tries to tell jayce to be careful or not run too fast, but ximena pets his hair and tells him that he can relax now, he doesn’t have to be in charge anymore, and eventually he falls asleep with his head on her lap
jayce, of course, then gets jealous and proceeds to climb up onto her other side and snuggle in close, so ximena puts on a movie for him
he’s out like a light in the first five minutes
so then ximena gets to watch piltover hgtv or food network or her telanovelas til her tuckered out baby boys wake back up :)
