Summary
The Problem: a lie has always been easier than a truth. Three years ago Viktor had told his family he was happy. Well on his way towards his PHD, married, planning for a future with more family on the way. He had sunk more time into this lie than into his own life.
When he’s invited home to attend a wedding, he needs a way to portray this lie as a reality.
The Solution: Down the street from his apartment at his least favorite coffee shop in a 20-mile radius, Viktor finds his estranged friend-slash-ex-not-really-boyfriend working the bar. It’s like the universe has smiled upon him for the first time in twenty years. Then it kicks him in the teeth again.
He and Jayce have always been in not-love. There is nothing between them that can be saved.
The New Problem: a lie has always been easier than a truth. Jayce is the only person Viktor cannot seem to lie to.

Summary
Piltover is the City of Progress, but its politics are less than progressive. Jayce Talis, newly promoted to Councilor, is determined to change that, but the rest of Piltover stands in his way. By rooting out corruption and fighting for better conditions in Zaun, Jayce has placed a target on his back. After an attempt on his life, Viktor decides to take Jayce’s protection into his own hands, crafting a suit of metal and steel and Hextech. There’s only one problem—Jayce has no idea who the scary robot man who keeps rescuing him is, and Viktor is determined to keep it that way.
But as the danger around Jayce increases, and the Machine Herald’s renown and infamy in Zaun and Piltover grow, can Viktor keep up this double life? Or are the rumors of the Machine Herald and Jayce just putting them in more danger?
Meanwhile, Jayce finds himself torn—so much face-to-mask contact with the Machine Herald has awakened a burgeoning desire inside him that he has long thought he held only for his partner, who has no idea of his feelings. Will Jayce be forced to choose between the best friend he ever had and his new, mysterious savior?

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
“I recognised your handwriting,” Jayce blurted out as they were about to leave his apartment to make the trek to Heimerdinger’s lab.
Viktor turned around, hand still on the keys which he had just finished stuffing back into his pocket. “From where?”
Realising that he’d provided no context, Jayce hesitantly rolled up his left sleeve and shifted his cuff upward to reveal the words on his wrist. “Look, it says—” he paused, taking in the words again. It was almost the same except for one.
An amazing genius. I can work with this.
“It said erratic earlier this afternoon,” Jayce mumbled, thumbing at ‘amazing’.
Or: The thoughts that people nearby have about you appear on your skin. Jayce doesn't care for them—or so he says—until he meets Viktor.
