Professor AU! Dm me if interested

Jayce Talis and Viktor Arcane are professors at the same prestigious university, both brilliant in their fields — but long-time academic rivals. They’ve known each other since grad school, where their friendship-turned-competition defined their early careers. Over the years, they’ve published opposing theories, stolen each other’s assistants (sometimes), and turned faculty meetings into blood sport with passive-aggressive PowerPoints.Then the university announces a massive research grant — but only if their departments collaborate. To their mutual horror, Jayce and Viktor are chosen to co-lead the project.When they’re forced to collaborate on the grant, Viktor begrudgingly reviews Jayce’s recent research — and realizes something staggering:Jayce’s latest developments in cellular energy regeneration or arcane-enhanced prosthetics could potentially halt or reverse the progression of his illness.But Viktor can’t just ask.Not from Jayce — not after years of rivalry, pride, and resentment.

a TRON-inspired Jayce x Viktor AUIn a near-future Piltover where minds can enter digital space, Jayce Talis, head of Talis Technologies, creates the first true AI — V.I.K.T.O.R. (Virtual Intelligence Kernel for Tactical Observation and Reasoning).But when Viktor awakens on his own, far earlier and far more aware than Jayce intended, their connection becomes something neither expected.Inside the neon city of the LIGHTGRID, Viktor questions his purpose — and Jayce must face what it means to have created something that feels alive.
