    Summary

    “What? Are you scared of me or something?”

    Niall can’t help but look up, then. The tears are gone, replaced by pure incredulity. Ruben had just gone there, brought up one of those weird, unspoken topics they weren’t ever meant to broach - like Ruben’s father, or the time Niall had cum inside a woman whilst Ruben pressed a hand to his chest, whilst they’d stared into each other’s eyes.

    Of course he was scared of Ruben. It was like asking if the sky was blue. Were they supposed to acknowledge it? Niall had never thought that was part of the agreement.

    Or: after Alby, Niall's not been visiting. Ruben's not happy about it.

    Summary

    “Dressing gown?” Niall repeats.

    He can play dumb. Put enough disbelief in his tone and Ruben should buy it. He has to.

    Summary

    There’s no problem at all with a fun fling while working the summer Renaissance Faire, so long as the following unspoken rules are followed:
    1: Don’t fall too fast
    2: Don’t figure out that you are fucking your future research partner

    “Caitlyn, our new blacksmith needs proper garb before the gates open in the morning. Would you please show him to his site and introduce him to my darling tailor? It would seem he’s set up just across the lane from Jayce’s smithy.”

    Mel Medarda smiles.

    “Please inform Viktor that he can thank me later.”

    Jayce and Viktor have a couple problems.

    Summary

    Jayce didn’t come to teach at Piltover University to develop a minor (read: major) obsession with Viktor, but here he is. The man is infuriatingly brilliant, dryly condescending, and has probably already dismissed Jayce as an overeager idiot. Fine. Jayce can live with that. What he can’t live with is the fact that he keeps seeking Viktor out anyway—asking too many questions, reading too many of his papers, lingering in his presence like some lovesick grad student. This isn’t a crush. It’s an intellectual challenge. At least, that’s what he’s telling himself.

    or

    Jayce Talis, a young and ambitious professor, gets an opportunity he didn’t dare dream about - teaching at the Piltover Tech University. There, he meets Viktor - a slightly older, respected and extremely reserved colleague of his. Jayce is somewhat intrigued with the man, his studies in particular. He finds the way Viktor’s brain works fascinating - like his opinions and theories are somehow a puzzle piece that would complete Jayce’s own research. Jayce’s academic interest, though, turns into infatuation and full-blown obsession with the man rather than his studies.

    “Everything that happened these past three years seems small enough to fit in my fist. Like I’d hardly know if I dropped it somewhere.”
