    Summary

    When Jayce Talis is invited to join an elite international research team in Zurich, he expects a chance to build something revolutionary—clean, limitless energy that could save the world. He expects to find something worth leaving his wonderful fiance Mel back in California for.

    What he doesn't expect is Viktor Novak.

    His ex-boyfriend.

    It's been years since their catastrophic breakup, years since Jayce left Viktor standing in the rain and swore he'd never look back. But now Viktor is here—older, sharper, colder—and leading the very project Jayce is now part of. He has half a mind to quit, to tell Professor Heimerdinger that he simply cannot work with Viktor.

    But the project needs them both. This could mean everything to Jayce's already dying career. But staying professional has never been their strong suit, even when they didn't hate each other.

    Summary

    How is he even supposed to respond to that?

    Thanks, I’m well aware of how people see me and how they want me. The one fumbling entanglement in the basement of a house party was enough for me though, because she found it weird when I started crying and then got so mad that I wouldn’t scent her that she left.

    And I only did it because she smelled so good, like a river, like fresh cut grass, and it made me so jealous I was dizzy with it. I wanted to be her, and I thought that was close enough to wanting her, and it wasn’t, and it took five minutes for my knot to go down after I locked myself in the bathroom to jerk off and I had a panic attack the whole time and then I threw up in the sink and vowed to be celibate for the rest of my life.

    “She’s not my type either,” he settles on, maybe more melancholic than he means to be.

    Summary

    Observation 1 : Jayce is terrible at taking care of himself. It is a regular occurrence that he neglects sleep, nutrition and his own mental health in favour of work. The consequences are numerous and detrimental to his well-being, as well as their progress on the Hexgates.

    Observation 2 : Jayce is incredibly responsive to direct orders and praise, and seems—on a subconscious level—increasingly more willing to accomplish a task if given an outside command.

    A hypothesis is drawn.

    Summary

    After the public launch of Hextech, Jayce is thrust into the public eye. He can't get away with bringing people home how he used to, and he's pent up, frustrated. One trip to the Undercity opens him up to a new possibility — a sex club that hosts masked nights, full anonymity and no commitment.

    Only it isn't a sex club; it's a BDSM club.

    And the fox-masked stranger who takes him under his wing doesn't make his training easy.

    ---

    Or: Jayce's foray into becoming a BDSM submissive during the early days of Hextech.

    Summary

    When work slave Seventy-five, known only to himself as "Jayce", gets severely injured while working in the Forge, his master decides to have him put down.

    Luckily, Viktor was reckless enough to investigate the scream from the alleyway, and impulsively buys him to save his life.

    What follows is a slow, bumpy road towards understanding and trust, littered with miscommunication and shadows from the past.

     

    This fic is on Hiatus, but NOT ABANDONED.
