    Summary

    Jayce is twenty-two.
    He tells himself he’ll tear himself apart if he has to, claw his way to the top, change the world someday — all it takes is trying hard enough.
    All those outrageously expensive things and that shiny status will be nothing more than proof of his success.

    Jayce is thirty-two.
    He did tear himself apart.
    Somewhere along the way, though, he seems to have traded in his skin, his dreams, and that whole “change the world” thing for scrap.

    Summary

    When Viktor finally asks why Jayce stayed behind inside the Anomaly with him, Jayce stares at him as though he’s supremely disappointed by the question— as if Viktor has betrayed his own brilliance by asking something so irredeemably stupid. “How could I not? We’re partners.”

    Partners, Jayce calls them. Not for the first time, Viktor wonders: Partners in what?

    *

    Or: Jayce and Viktor survive the Hexcore, a blizzard, their own bodies, sharing a bed and all the things they’re too afraid to say. Slowly, they put themselves back together— piece by stubborn piece.

    Summary

    Threading the golden chain between his fingers, skimming his skin with every little movement, Jayce’s nails drifted like feathers against flesh.

    It took effort for Viktor to subdue any stray shivers.

    aka the one where an oblivious jayce can’t stop touching viktor’s fancy shirt at the distinguished innovators afterparty, and yearning ensues.

    Summary

    Viktor knew how he looked. With his sharp angles and hollowed cheeks and colt-like limbs, he was a serpentine god with all his alabaster beauty.

    The nobles whispered about it. The investors watched Viktor move, fascination warring with discomfort. The Council scoffed at the idea of a Zaunite on their board—until they saw him.

    Exotic. Enthralling. An exquisite thing to be coveted for themselves.

    Viktor had once despised it.

    Despised the way they stared, the way their fascination was always tinged with something possessive, as if he were a rare specimen on display. Loathed the murmurs in the Academy halls, the furtive glances that dogged him everywhere he went.

    Now?

    Now, he used it.

    If they should lust after him, they did so at their own peril.

    Desire was a fundamental human weakness. A distraction. A vulnerability. And if Jayce Talis was to prove useful, then Viktor would use every weakness he had.

    -

    Or: Councillor Viktor, the fic.
