    Summary

    “Be careful,” Shane frets, one hand hovering over Ilya’s shoulder. “It’s icy, and I don’t want to be a widower.”

    “Oh, we’d have to be much higher than this for the fall to kill me,” Ilya says, gaze still fixed on the cool black skyline. “At least seven stories.”

    It’s not until much later, as the waitress is clearing the dishes from dinner, that Yuna finds herself wondering why Ilya knows exactly how high a fall needs to be in order to kill him. 

    Or: Yuna learns about Ilya's past bit by bit over the years.

    Summary

    Set one week after Jayce and Viktor meet on that fateful night at Jayce's apartment.

    Jayce crouches down to his level, reaching instinctively for the jagged skin before stopping short.

    “You—” he can barely process the idea of it, let alone the reality. “You punched him.”

    “Yes.” Viktor flexes his hand. “He deserved it.”

    Jayce snorts, helpless. “You’ve got a mean right hook. Since when?”

    "Since Zaun."

    Or: Jayce is fragile, and Viktor is astute; he is also alarmingly good at breaking noses in defense of his new academic associate.

    Summary

    “I’m so sorry,” he says again. He clamps a hand over his mouth. “But I…ah. Think I am going to throw up.”

    Jayce scrambles back.

    “What?!”

    Viktor makes a strangled sound, gag reflex taking over. Jayce lunges for…things. Trash can, hoodie. His own cupped hands, apparently.

    But before he can even find the side of the bed, Viktor politely gathers the duvet out of the way, folds in half, and vomits all over it anyway.

    There's a stretch of profound silence. Then Jayce says, very intelligently: “Okay.”

    Or: Jayce assumes the most complicated part about hooking up with Viktor will be the morning after. He’s right but also so, so wrong.
