So, in a Golden Compass/His Dark Materials AU, Viktor's daemon would obviously be Rio as a pink axolotl (though a big or small one?), but what about Jayce? Possibly an eagle nicknamed 'hex'? Or something like a lizard that could withstand forge heat? Basically, something like a dragon, but the name is the hard part...

It's the sax head bob meme! Oof, I merged the two lotr memes in my head lol

Just noticed how that Viktor "Money" meme is the new Gandolf "Hobbits/Isengard" meme

Okay, so Pacific Rim JayVik AU where they're scientists* who end up needing to get into a jaeger they both worked hard to create and they're super nervous about if they're drift compatible but it maybe works too well (if that's possible) but then they gotta fight the kaiju who just keep coming now just like they predicted and once they get to the portal it's Jayce who lets Viktor go in the escape pod before setting off the nuclear bomb and ultimately managing to be okay

* Jayce being a pilot-turned-scientist who lost his brother in a fight and is now worried about getting into the jaeger with Viktor because he couldn't stand another heartbreak like that

- Halloween is nearly 4 months away, so consider any costumes you may want to make

Don't cry: open up some Hawaiian rolls, butter them, add cinnamon, toast them, and add some chocolate syrup 🍞🍫

If Viktor had stayed after his reawakening, Jayce would have been so extra clingy. Just like, only away to get tea or something for only as long as necessary.

Okay, but what if the forehead touch has been a normal thing for them once? Like, maybe it had tentatively started at or just before the Innovators Competition to help calm each other's nerves. One would see the other being nervous and give a little 'hey' and then a small neck touch and then casually lean in to touch foreheads and just breathe until they're better. Like, working on the gates (especially the gates), gloves, and laser would have been so stressful. But then the new council has pulled them apart, but at the very end when they had to face down the arcane together the forehead touch had been automatic for them...

Okay, but hear me out: the failed timeline where Jayce couldn't take out Viktor + Ambessa's army is delayed somehow

Jayce is super apologetic and follows Viktor around like a lost puppy. Jayce is extra touchy-feely too and is confused as to where these feelings for his partner came from. Viktor says he can heal Jayce's leg, but complex feelings lead to "no".

He has to be held back when he finally sees Jinx, but is a little confused when he sees the little Vander clan (?) together. He also gets upset when he realizes that Viktor is dying again, but this time because he's giving too much.

He and Jinx are snarking at each other one day and they have some idea to help save Viktor and Vander. They're still super snarky but actually work really well together.

And they just manage to get their idea to work as Viktor is just managing to help Vander just as Ambessa's army shows up, but also Ekko and the Firelights show up. So most of the followers don't make it out, but the main group does.

They end up at the tree where it's a Helm's Deep moment where Vi and Cait somehow still meet up but Mel is the Gandolf here. She still faces off against her mother and sadly still wins. She's happy to see Jayce, though this makes him extra confused. And maybe they work it out between Viktor, Jayce, and Mel or maybe they have an otherwise amicable split where Mel still ends up as the Noxian leader but at least has a friend she can write to.

And maybe this is still a doomed timeline, but it's not the worst one.
