Jayce X Viktor - Blog Posts
free from destiny (i choose you, and you choose me)
The thing is that Jayce succeeds. He was right.
He was able to create magic. His idea was revolutionary. He was able to harness the arcane and fuse it with scientific principles to create amazing things. Somewhere along the way he reached his life's goal of giving magic to the world, and he still had so much more left to offer. He had the praise and the accolades and the funding and his face on the goddamn mugs.
And it wasn't enough. Not where it mattered most. Not for who it mattered most.
(Do you think Jayce felt sick, cleaning the dirt and blood from his pristine white coat, waiting? Do you think the memories kept it off, despite the chill in the lab air, with him only re-donning his Man of Progress suit when Viktor leaves for good? Do you think upon his return from the anomaly that he cradles his old mug — the one Viktor bought for him as a joke — suddenly and fiercely glad for his grown out hair and beard because he is not that man anymore. He hasn't been for a long time. Maybe he never really was.
Not that it matters. He has a promise to keep.)
Jayce's expression here drives me so goddamn insane
His eyes are soft, his mouth twisted in understanding. There's so much conveyed without any words.
This look says I know, it says I remember, it says this seems familiar, doesn't it?
It says You didn't think I was gonna let you go that easy, did you?
SICK from thinking about the symbolism of the rune.
Which rune Viktor gives baby Jayce is the only thing we see as a catalyst for change across timelines — it's the butterfly flapping its wings.
The rune switches hands only twice more after that:
Viktor giving it back to Jayce, representing the start of their partnership concerning Hextech,
and Jayce giving it to Viktor in the astral plane, helping him put an end to the arcane apocalypse.
But there's one more important similarity about these moments — they're moments when Viktor and Jayce save each other.
Mage Viktor saves Ximena and baby Jayce, then gives him the rune.
Viktor stops Jayce's attempt, then hands him back his bracelet.
Jayce stops Viktor from losing his humanity, taking the rune from his wrist and together, they use it to save the world.
The rune isn't just about possibilities. It's a representation of their lives.
And they only ever put it in each other's hands.
Give me chronically fatigued Viktor.
Give me Viktor, falling asleep at his desk in the middle of the day because he’s been staring at those calculations for so long and his head is just too heavy to keep upright anymore, no matter how much sleep he gets.
Give me Viktor, leaving the lab early in the summers until Jayce builds him a personal AC unit, because the heat makes him drowsy.
Give me Viktor, falling asleep at a Council meeting, because it’s dark and he’s sitting and the voices around him have been droning on for hours. He startles when Jayce nudges him to leave. A succinct summary dictated by Mel appears in the lab the next day. (Viktor appreciates this, as it’s hard to focus on Jayce’s words when he’s so exhausted and he’s terrible at summarizing anyway)
Give me Viktor, nearly causing an explosion when his vision blurs/crosses while engineering, resulting in a stray spark. Jayce bans Viktor from operating machinery after 5pm, one of the only lab rules Viktor hates but won’t break.
Give me Viktor, frustrated at a problem for hours, only for Jayce to correct something he had made a mistake on due to brain fog.
Give me Viktor blaring music, drinking religious amounts of caffeine, and blasting his AC to near-freezing to keep himself somewhat alert.
Give me a Viktor who keeps oversleeping, showing up to the lab at noon because Jayce never has the heart to go and wake him when he clearly needs the rest. Viktor eventually moves in with Jayce because he can’t trust himself to wake up anymore, no matter how many alarms he sets. Plus, Jayce lives closer to the lab, and it’s an easier walk in terms of both pain and fatigue.
Give me Viktor leaning on Jayce at an event because there’s no place to sit and putting weight on his crutch relieves the pain in his leg, not the constant exhaustion pulling at his soul. Give me Jayce offering gentle support for that smallest bit of relief.
Give me a Viktor who’s not tired from long nights in the lab, but because of his illness.
what if we were both SCIENTISTS and saved each other from SUICIDE and worked in close quarters for a DECADE but our project turned out to be EVIL and one of us got involved in POLITICS while the other got involved in DRUGS because he is DYING and one of us got EXPLODED and then RESURRECTED but left to become JESUS while the other was transported to another DIMENSION and had to endure narrative PARALLELS before vowing to KILL his friend because he came back WRONG and what if we ended up ASTRAL PROJECTING and finally ACCEPTING OURSELVES all while saving the world as PARTNERS??? WHAT THEN??
I just saw a TikTok about how Jayce’s fatal flaw is that he is willing to do anything to help the people he cares about, regardless of the consequences, and I had a thought:
Jayce agreed to destroy the hexcore at Viktor’s request, but at that point his death was still an abstract. When he is faced with Viktor, limp from a snapped spine of the council chamber floor, he barely hesitates in using Hextech to save him.
Because despite the promise he made, despite how it betrays Viktor’s wishes, he loves Viktor too much to let him die while Jayce can do something. And he would rather lose him than lose him.
The fanon perception of jayvik is always so soft and caring
See me in a new light.
OH GOD, I'VE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BEFORE. I LOVE IT
Timebomb-Jayvik dynamic is so funny bc we have:
Begrudgingly acknowledge each other despite that one time Ekko haggle the fuck out Jayce and Jayce accidentally polluted the underground
Two strikes and they started throwing slurs at each other
How about we turn this into #BottomJayceYEAR??

Fuck. I'm the career overachiever.
Aka the menace to society.
There are two kinds of people, separated by the way they dealing with heart shuttering break up:
They becoming sad alcoholic hobo with no sense of personal hygiene...
2. ...or career overachiver.
This embrace looks so soft and graceful
Home is where you are.
The height difference changing when they're older is one of my favorite things out there. This applies to ANY characters/fandom. The cockiness that comes with it soothes my soul.
14 years and 20+
I love it when people remember Jayce has scars
i love their world-ending world-saving codependency
