Summary
When the final batch of eggs floated to the bottom, Viktor counted that he’d only produced half a clutch compared to last year. Barely a pitiable two hundred. He scooped them up into his hands, careful not to disturb the slippery mucus that held them together. His tiny pearls, so precious and fragile in the cradle of his grey webbing.
In the ancestral grounds, the waters would have been still. He would have fanned his little ones to keep them aerated until they hatched. A mate would have sung to them, passing along their songs and letting their guppies know that they were loved, even when they were oceans apart. When they finally hatched, the guppies would be able to sing to their siblings to find each other when the current swept them away.
But out here, the deep would claim them.
Or
Old Man Mer Viktor makes a cock for waterlogged statue Jayce and wishes so hard for guppies that it comes true, with some unexpected results.Bookmarked by Batlantic

Summary
Piltover’s Defender of Tomorrow dies on Wednesday evening. By Thursday, the announcement hits the morning gazette, and it won’t leave the news cycle until well past the Sunday edition.
Zaun’s Machine Herald scoffs the first time he reads it, tossing the stained and torn paper that his apprentice brought down the conveyor behind his shoulder. He is rewiring his left arm again, trying to iron out why his sensors detect a microsecond’s delay between the synapses firing in his brain and the acknowledgement by his mechanical nerves.
“Natural causes,” he scoffs. “He is what? Sixty years old? Men that rich do not die that young.”
