Summary
Jayce doesn't know what he's doing, he doesn't know what's wrong with him, he can't help but have these feelings for his friend, and he wishes, he really wishes he was a better person that in the warmth of the moment wouldn't have asked said friend on a trip.
The worst part? The stoic and never sociable Viktor said yes.

Summary
“One more word and you are out on the street, Talis,” Viktor issues his empty threat in his coldest of voices, paired with his fiercest frown. Jayce only beams at him.
“The battle’s already lost,” he announces. “Mel’s approved my time-off ages ago. I got all the goodies,” he rattles the brown bag invitingly, “and Sky’s manning the lab. You’re not getting out of it, V.”
“Out of what?” Viktor demands, in increasing malaise, clutching at his crutch like a lifeline.
“Of fun,” Jayce says, threateningly.
[Or: Viktor's terrible, lovely 32nd birthday.]

Summary
Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.
What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.
or
Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.
UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

Summary
Even here, in this empty apartment, he can’t show one iota of weakness. As far as Piltover knows, Viktor does not feel pain. In fact he hadn’t felt pain since he left the undercity. It’s a point of pride for him, something he maintains obsessively.
Until it follows him to his own bed, at which point he has to acknowledge the inverse: that the existence of pain is a point of shame.
Viktor forces himself to go to work during a flare-up, and the immovable object of his stubbornness meets the unstoppable force of Jayce’s desire to care for him.

Summary
It takes two weeks before Viktor stops carrying the switchblade in his waistcoat pocket. A further two months before he stops feeling the lack of it like a child misses their blanket. Objectively, he knows he doesn’t need it up here. No one is going to mug him in an alleyway - mostly because Piltover doesn’t really have alleyways but that's beside the point.

Summary
He had gone from toiling as an assistant to teaching first year classes and filling in for the more senior professors when the occasion arose. It was boring. Biology was not even his field of study. Not that he had an official field of study, unless memorizing Heimerdinger’s insane organizational system, a thing built over centuries, counted. His life was a monotony quickly slipping through his fingers. His leg and back were failing. He felt old before his time and there was the ever-ticking clock hanging over his head.
There had been a promise of something more, once. An explosion. A journal that was meant to be destroyed. A theory so insane it barely made sense until you looked closer and realized that the science was sound. However, it was not to be. A child had died.Instead of forgetting Viktor exists, Heimerdinger seeks him out when he, Ekko, and Powder hit a snag with their Hextech research. It doesn't take long to realize that they need a fifth great mind and Viktor goes to find Jayce while the timeline starts to shatter.

Summary
"You don't even like Shakespeare."
"I kind of liked A Midsummer Night's Dream." Jayce said weakly.
"You don't like plays either. You like musicals."
"Plays are basically just musicals in spoken form."
Jayce then made the big mistake of choosing that exact moment to look at Viktor, and was finally able to see his exasperated face in full glory.
~~~
At 17 years old, Viktor realises that it won't be his body's immune system that sends him to an early grave, but a combination of an amateur Hamlet production and his incredibly perfect, incredibly unavailable best friend.

Summary
There's basically nothing that Quentin wouldn't do for Julia. He'd kill for her. He'd die for her. He'll even try out for the school play with her. It's just one little audition, and then six months of hanging out at rehearsals in the chorus, not doing much. What could possibly go wrong?
Turns out, a lot.
(or: how Quentin Coldwater, age fifteen, learns to stop worrying (mostly) and love the bomb (musical theatre))

Summary
Eliot Waugh is an actor on the brink of the biggest break of his career. Quentin Coldwater is a former child star turned aspiring screenwriter who's paying his dues as a glorified PA. Three years of near-constant contact has turned their codependent working relationship into a close, comfortable bond that one refuses to examine too closely and the other is reluctant to risk.
When the studio behind Eliot's prospective new project expresses their doubts about his party boy public image, his reps brainstorm a way to make him more marketable: raffling off a night on the town on Eliot's arm. The winner is a wholesome farm boy from Brakebills, Texas, who makes such a surprising impression that Eliot agrees to take a vacation from the spotlight to spend some time in Mike's tiny hometown. But somewhere between bar bathrooms and bad motels, Eliot might be brave enough to act on what he really wants… and Quentin might just manage to write his way to a happy ending.
Loosely based, with liberal creative license, on Win a Date with Tad Hamilton.

Summary
Eliot Waugh is the Prince of Brakebills University, living without a care in the world. That is, until his platonic soulmate finds love, thanks to his definitely-not-unintentional matchmaking. It was a big change, but all’s well that ends well and he’s happy for Margo and Julia. You know. Mostly.
But no one likes a renowned hedonist who focuses on his inner maudlin blah. So instead, Eliot opts to invest his energy into taking a new girl under his wing. She's dorky, intense, fresh off a year-long sojourn at Brakebills South... and in desperate need of fun.
What a lucky young lady that Alice Quinn is.
(Or: Unabashedly Queer “Emma,” at Brakebills.)

Summary
“...And this weekend is my best friend’s wedding, and you’re inexplicably planning it, and you wear lots of pink, and you say things like, There’s a fire sale in my bedroom, all clothes 100% off. Unironically.”
Eliot bit his tongue. “I mean, a little ironically.”
—
Quentin Coldwater is the youngest and hottest architect in New York City, while his best friend Eliot Waugh is just along for the ride––on his bright pink moped, of course! But when Quentin impulsively quits his dream job to chase love atop the Empire State Building, he panics at the last second… and makes a world-shattering claim. Now, it’s up to Eliot to ensure this strange new Q still gets his happily ever after (ideally without destroying his whole life in the process.)

Summary
Between slipping grades and an explosive break-up, Quentin's first year at Brakebills was coming to a miserable close—and that was before the Beast attacked. Now everyone's cancelling their summer plans to join in the fight against an existential threat, Fillory is both real and much deadlier than in the books, and it turns out Quentin sucks as much at battle magic as he does at everything else. As the war drags on, dying in battle starts to seem like the best possible outcome, the answer to all his problems: one shining moment of glory, and then he's finally free. It's a foolproof plan—until he wakes up and has to do it all over again.
