    Summary

    "Any illness in the past? Any medical procedures?"
    "He―"
    The words catch in Jayce's throat, his whole body coming to a stop. Nothing he could say feels vague enough. Nothing he could say feels safe enough. He can not risk Viktor's safety, anonymity, this life they have built. But what is his caution worth, if it only withholds the care Viktor needs?

    --

    After Viktor suddenly falls ill, Jayce must grapple with the fears that keep him up at night.

    Summary

    Dying, trapped in a crack in the world, Jayce has lost almost everything- save the memories. And in the darkness those come out in terrible, technicolor clarity. Every victory, every failure, how it all began- and how it ended. Every single time he stepped over the edge. Every time he fell.

    (Jayce hadn't thought anything of him at first- easy to overlook an unwanted bureaucrat- easier still, to overlook a cripple.)

    (Something sly about it, the cast of that pale face. Just how bright those golden eyes were, in the black. They seemed to catch the light, reflecting it back, like those of a young fox.)

    Of course, falling didn't always hurt. Once, he had fallen in love.

    Summary

    Jayce didn't do well in the cold.

    He was a blacksmith, an engineer. He spent his days working in front of a forge or sweating over a soldering iron. He was too accustomed to the roiling heat, he caught a cold the second snow started to fall. That became the diplomatic excuse, when he needed to quietly and politely bow out of whatever social or fundraising event the Kiramman's had arranged, or later down the line at the endless hand-greasing galas or dinners the Man of Progress had to attend that happened to be scheduled on the first snow of the season.

    Jayce fucking hated snow.

    Summary

    “Not to be dramatic, but you scared a couple years off my life.”

    “You are very dramatic.” Viktor tilted his head. “But if you ask me whether I am fine again, I will hit you with my cane.”

    The words were out of his mouth before he’d even had the chance to process, and he nearly froze, not sure what possessed him to say such a thing. He opened his mouth, ready to do damage control, before—

    Jayce barked out a laugh, loud and unrestrained.

    “Yeah, well. Sorry for worrying about my partner.” Even through the faint sarcasm of the statement, the words were suffused with such fond, familiar warmth that Viktor felt his breath catch in his chest.

    Partner?

    Well. That certainly explained the touch. And the warmth in his voice. And the way Viktor leaned toward him instead of away— an innate response. This, at least, made sense now. Viktor had not dared to include this option as one of his preliminary hypotheses.

    They were together. Dating. Whatever the most adequate term would be.

    OR: Viktor gets amnesia, logically concludes he and Jayce are together, and starts running experiments to confirm it. Jayce is whipped. That's the fic.
