I have a Jayvik au that I want to share.
Viktor doesn’t wake Jayce up when he emerges from his Hextech cocoon. Instead he sees the blueprints for weapons, the cocoon he emerges from, and he sees himself. He decides to just leave.
When Jayce wakes up he sees that Viktor is gone he immediately goes a little crazy. He tries to track him down but it is like looking for a ghost. Consequently, his hair gets longer and he grows a beard (I love Jayce’s season 2 look).
In the mean time Viktor is going along the same as canon and healing people. Starting a commune that is really a cult. Just in general trying his best but missing Jayce and having some doubts about what he is doing.
Eventually Jayce finds Viktor but they aren’t necessarily on the same side anymore. They are technically fighting on opposite sides. This is also the first time Jayce has seen Viktor post Hexcore transformation and both of them are having feelings about it.
What proceeds is a goose chase through Zaun and even parts of Piltover. When Jayce finally catches up to Viktor he has him corned. Viktor starts rambling and panicking that sounds something like this:
Viktor: “I know you wouldn’t approve of what I’ve done. Piltover’s Golden Boy, but I’ve tried to help people like we promised we would. I don’t approve of the fact that you are making weapons or that you used the Hexcore after I specifically asked you to destroy it.
I imagine Jayce just staring at Viktor throughout this whole speech slowly getting closer, herding Viktor backwards until his back is against a wall. Meanwhile Viktor is panicking and trying keep distance between them.
Viktor: Perhaps I should have have stayed and tried to talk but you certainly didn’t ask my permission before you turned me into this thing! For fucks sake Jayce say something!
By the end of Viktor’s speech he is screaming in Jayce’s face as he just stares at Viktor silently crowding him against the wall. Viktor is panting. Suddenly Jayce brings his hand up and caresses Viktor’s cheek looking into his eyes.
Jayce: You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you.
Yes this whole au was just so I could use one of the best quotes from the How to Train Your Dragon franchise. I also wanted to touch on Viktor feeling alien in his own body and Jayce still loving him and finding him beautiful no matter what has changed.
