    Summary

    Rationally, Jayce is aware that Viktor provokes fights purely for his own enjoyment at least half the time. Not even someone as dead-set on being a bastard can realistically find enough reasons to start an argument as frequently as Viktor does. Rationally, Jayce is aware that he only gives Viktor what he wants when he responds to the provocation with anything other than pure indifference.

    It’s real fucking difficult to stay indifferent when Viktor starts talking, though, and the urge to rip him apart is so physically overpowering, Jayce really has no other choice than to at least scream at him a little bit.

    Or: Viktor pushes, and Jayce has no other choice than to push back, because his ego has always been fragile like that.

    Summary

    Viktor finds it when he is going through Jayce’s notebook. Though maybe it is his, now, too, considering that Jayce has apparently diligently kept to signing every single page of his notes—egotistical bastard that he is—, but now adding Viktor’s name.

    But it is not the horribly misleading Viktor and Jayce Talis that catches his eye—although it certainly does, and he mentally bookmarks that discovery to tease Jayce about it later—or the sketches of his face—those he is aware of, Jayce is not subtle, though he is a little surprised at the quantity of them—but something else entirely.

    A guide. To his handwriting.

    It is colour-coded.

    Or: Viktor has such bad handwriting that literally one else can read it. That is, until Jayce comes along.

    Summary

    Jayce blames everything – the unhelpful interest, the obsessive observation, the scribbling in his notebook; the memorizing and cataloguing and compartmentalizing – on Viktor being… Viktor. An enigma. A game of chess against someone so much smarter. A whole universe of unknown stars hidden behind an accented voice, eccentricities and unexplained habits. Because that’s what Viktor is, in the end – silently challenging and unperceived and an unresolved force of nature. As a scientist, Jayce cannot sit by and let a seemingly unsolvable conundrum with countless unknown variables be.

    or: the inherent homoromanticism of getting to know your lab partner.

    Summary

    Friends make friends stuff all the time, and Jayce did break Viktor's cane. It'd be a nice thing to do. A cane, plus some cool tools, and Jayce will be able to know he's a good friend. He likes this plan.

    (Or, Jayce makes a new cane for Viktor. He then makes some more stuff. It spirals from there very, very quickly.)

    Summary

    student0158554
    Quality : 4.5
    Difficulty : 1.5

    This is the kind of professor that makes you want to come to class. The material is well-explained, and I did not meet a single person that didn't pass his class. Moreover, Professor Talis is BEAUTIFUL.

    The only complaint I have is his weird mood swings.

    One day, he went to class with sad puppy eyes, head down, and dropped dramatically on his chair. He gave us some papers and told us to "do whatever" because he had a fight with his partner and was not in the mood. Maybe his wife threatened to leave without him. That's the only evident answer to him banging his head on his desk with tears in his eyes.

    He was fine the next day tho.

    Love him.

    ------------------

    The reviews were getting out of hand.

    Viktor did not care a single bit about them.

    Jayce, on the contrary...
