    Summary

    "What have we here?"

    "It's nothing, really, I just—"

    The cover features a quaint illustration of two men standing in front of what appears to be a needlessly complex and completely nonsensical chemistry setup. They have their backs to the viewer. The taller man has his hand in the other's back pocket.

    "Advanced Chemistry," Viktor mumbles, reading the title out as his fingertips dance lightly over the raised letters embossed into the flexible cover, "I didn't realize you read romance."

    "I don't," Jayce argues, his tone and posture defensive, but as Viktor raises a skeptical brow in his partner's direction, he seems to realize the error in his words, "Well, not usually."

     

    -or- Viktor catches Jayce reading a smutty romance novel, but there's more to this story than either of them realizes.

    Summary

    "I'm not going to sit around and do nothing while you suffer, V," Jayce says simply, shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head like there is no other option. Because there isn't. Not really. "It's not happening. So, either you let me help you, or I'm finding where your doctor lives and dragging you over there right now." Folding his arms over his chest, Jayce stares down at a frowning Viktor, his lower lip plush and pouting the way it always does when he's annoyed at his partner. Jayce shrugs again. "Your choice."

    Viktor's eyes narrow and for a moment, Jayce wonders if perhaps that sharp honey stare is more dangerous than any laser they could ever design, boring into him with the heat of a bright burning star.

    "You are a colossal pain in the ass, Jayce Talis."

    Summary

    “Take off your jacket, Jayce.”

    Jayce went rigid, eyes wide but pupils swollen, his throat bobbing beneath the leather of the harness, the sweet velvet of his choker.

    “I… You’ll laugh at me.”

    “I will not.”

    “You will.”

    Jayce gets gifted expensive lingerie from a mystery benefactor.

    Viktor benefits from this greatly.

    Summary

    Jayce had found pride and joy in so many academic achievements, the sense of accomplishment burning in his chest like a fuel that drove him forward – yet it was hard not to feel equally pleased as he witnessed recognition blooming on Viktor’s face like lightning in a clear sky.

    Viktor gaped, eyes widened in shock, before looking up to him again, scanning over his face almost frantically, like he couldn’t believe the name on the page, like he couldn’t believe his own eyes.

    “Jayce.” He called him, and his name, muttered in confusion, disbelief, astonishment, realisation, felt like an echo from a decade past. It felt like a cycle closing, a long, lonely chapter ending, and a new one beginning.

    “Viktor,” Jayce called him back and Viktor gasped. Jayce smiled, unable to help himself. “It’s been a while.”

     

    Ten years ago, Jayce met Viktor at the science summer camp, becoming his first friend and his first love ー before leaving him behind.
    At 24, freshly graduated, Jayce comes back to the same camp, one last summer before he steps into the adult life... only to meet Viktor once again.

    Summary

    Jayce and his friends gather for a mid-2000s sleepover — movies, junk food, alcohol, and party games. Somewhere between Truth or Dare and a shared blanket, Jayce realises his crush on Viktor might not be as hopeless as he thought.

    Over the course of one chaotic, messy, and surprisingly tender night, awkward touches turn into something more. By morning, Jayce and Viktor have gone from friends to something else entirely — even if they’re still figuring out what that means.

    This story references Red Skins, the original name of an Australian candy now known as Red Ripperz.

    ***************
    Viktor, unable to pry the controller from Jayce’s hands, was now practically lying in his lap with his arms wrapped around it, Jayce’s hands trapped beneath. Jayce watched on screen as Yoshi — now controlled by Jinx — took first place. As soon as she did, Viktor released his death grip, and Jayce managed to steer into second. Viktor stayed where he was, laughing and gasping, sprawled on his back across Jayce.
