Breaking our Solitude (Chapter 2)

Summary: After a miracle Jayce returns to life in a dead world, it's now up to Viktor and Jayce to start over, hopefully for the better.

Going to errmm loose it your honor.

(Actually, sobbing and kicking the wall, more fluff, flashbacks, are they lovers? Worse. Post season 2, Alternate universe Jayvik)

Above Piltover, beyond rain and wind, and cityscapes of dread and horror sat a perfect patch of time and space. Quiet and chaos, dragon flies and insects flew fluttered along the patchy expanse of grass and life. Here is where Jayce kneeled, his hands now empty, two of his fingers missing entirely as they had been snapped off with the hammer from years of melding with the material. His mantel had now been passed to another and all that was left now was this. His perspective stuck staring out at the horizon now dimming into twilight. Unobscured by the staff of his hammer, he stared out in a quiet contemplation completely bathed in solitude. Existing like this didn’t feel like much, he remembered feeling something at the start of it all perhaps, dread or anger, maybe even despair but now all he felt was quiet and calm, emotions were all but a fever dream now.

After being turned into this, Viktor continued his conquest of Rune Terra bringing every life form to his perfect combine. Meanwhile Jayce spent his first hundred years adjusting to this. He was trapped in those moments before you wake up in morning. A mix of content before drifting off back into the void only to momentarily wake again, it wasn’t unpleasant, but it wasn’t anything either. However, when Viktor returned and became increasingly present in his life, he felt himself wake just a little more than he did otherwise. He liked hearing that voice, something about Viktor’s tone was always soothing. Whatever the hell just happened earlier that day it was all just noise and a hazy memory now. The advent of Jayce looking at himself should’ve been mind-bending and yet it wasn’t. The thing that was however was Viktor’s touch. For the first time in nearly centuries Viktor’s hand laid on his shoulder, so many feelings that had been long since forgotten came back like an eruption of color, for a second purpose was given then it wasn’t. Was this sadness? He felt that empty creep in again and succumbed to it like always. His mind faded back to a dark sleep like the sun creeping down further and further till the colors in the horizon turned to night. Jayce was just that a fading twilight, a shell.

“This should be a monumental moment, conquering the golden boy of Piltover, but it’s not, I am truly sorry it has come to this Jayce, but rest knowing this will be the only place I will not touch in my new world, Farewell.” That mechanical all-encompassing voice rang through Jayce’s ears. What should’ve been a dream was instead a dark void of voices and sounds of memories, not really the sights of them. He stirred awake like usual shortly after, this time noticing the sky was hazy with shades of purples and dark blues. The sun was about to rise, it’s too early to try and think, he should just go back to sleep. But as he peered out to an unobscured horizon, he suddenly noticed Viktor sat just barely out of the corner of his eye next to him, watching the sky beside him. “The sun is about to rise and when it does all of this will never be again.” Viktor said slowly, his words never really registered in Jayce’s mind, but just because they didn’t doesn’t mean he felt they were nothing. In truth he revelled in the sound of company. “I’m giving myself the permission of forgiveness, and hope that wherever you are that you can forgive me too.” Viktor spoke softly before standing and walking in front of Jayce before kneeling. “I’m sorry for robbing you and everyone of this planet a chance to live.” Viktor said his eyes filled with sorrow, “After the sun rises a black hole will appear, it will consume all of this before collapsing into itself.” He explained as his words went into one ear and out the other.

But Jayce was only focused on one thing, those eyes, those pretty golden eyes. He wondered what reaching out would be like, now without 2 fingers, would it even feel nice? What did feeling even feel like? He couldn’t recall.  “After it does, a new world will be made, and with it perhaps new life. I'm sorry I couldn’t fix any of this, I don’t think I could if I tried.” Viktor said as tears ran down his cheeks. “We have some time before the sun rises, perhaps it’s time I tell you something I should have said sooner.” He said his hand wiping his face as he moved in closer than he ever has before. “All of these years, and centuries of nothing I realized that I respected you so highly Jayce, you were everything I wasn’t, not that I didn’t find some kind of worth in myself but that, I wanted to be where you were.” He explained as Jayce silently sat. “If you're still in there, which I hope you aren’t, I haven’t even allowed myself to touch you, paying you company after all of this was all I’d allow myself and even then, it was inherently selfish.” Viktor said as the tears came to a halt, he felt his throat tighten as he continued to explain. “Because up here beyond everything and everyone, you and I were exactly where I wanted us to be.” He said softly as Jayce watched.

Something began to register in Jayce’s mind for once, Viktor’s words slowly began to make sense, it was almost unsettling. Was this feeling? He thought to himself as Viktor scooted closer, his hand resting on Jayce's large still clasped hands manipulating them slowly to move, Jayce felt fire dance between his fingers, if his eyes could light up, they would. He felt Viktor’s cold fingers interlace with whatever fingers he had left, his arms positioned back slightly as Viktor closed in. Sitting between Jayce's legs, their fingers interlinked as he slowly rested his forehead to Jayce, the act of which blew fireworks off in Jayce’s mind. So many sensations in the matter of seconds, touch this is what touch felt like. Viktor continued, “What I’m trying to say is Jayce Talis…” Viktor spoke, his voice softening to a whisper, he swallowed the lump in his throat hesitating to speak, “I…” He choked before wincing, his face relaxing as he sighed his eyes half lidded moved to meet Jayce’s still concentrated ones, “I…I’m so selfish.” He whispered before pressing his lips to Jayce's unmoving petrified ones.

𝜗𝜚 skincare a comprehensive guide to skincare

here's to something i'm proud of this year !! from being made fun of for my acne to getting daily compliments on my glowing skin—it's been a long journey. before (november 2023):

after (december 2024):

what i was struggling with: dry skin, forehead acne, clogged and enlarged pores, closed comedones, inflammation/redness, acne scarring, sebum

going out of my comfort zone because i just wanted to share this and show you that yes, it does work! even i'm surprised by the side by side comparison. keep in mind that this is just how I targeted my own skin concerns. everybody is different the things that work for me might not work for you! but hopefully this will give you a place to start <3

oil cleanser

i've actually tried two of these:

beauty of joseon ginseng cleanser

ma:nyo pure cleansing oil (got this cheaper from costco)

dispense a good amount of oil onto your palm and rub it into your face for about 1 min. then, emulsify by adding water to your face (it should turn white) and rub again for about 1 min. wipe it all off when you're done!

helps get rid of: clogged pores, sebum, dead skin

this step made the biggest difference for me. when my acne was really bad, i'd pile on heavy makeup to try and cover it. but, instead of deeply cleansing my face, i'd just scrub it off with a towel and sparingly use micellar water here and there! oil cleansers really get into your skin  water-based cleanser

i use this in the morning before i do my makeup! (and use the oil cleanser at night)

beauty of joseon green plum refreshing cleanser

squeeze a dime-sized amount onto your palm. add just a bit of water to it and scrub it in your palm until it foams up. apply that foam to your face and cleanse for about 1 min, then wash it off.

helps get rid of: oil, sweat, dirt, other particles

i actually got this recommended to me as someone with really sensitive skin! i used to use it right after the oil cleanser to double-cleanse, but as my skin has greatly improved, now i just use this one in the morning. toner

isntree ultra-low molecular hyaluronic acid toner

pat it onto your face with clean, dry hands! important: let it dry before applying your next product.

helps attract moisture, balances pH, super soothing

my favorite toner, especially for my dry skin girlies!

serum

skin1004 centella ampoule

squeeze some onto your face as needed!

honestly my holy grail. centella is super soothing and this ampoule leaves my face feeling super smooth. it's super good with healing, this is perfect for whenever i have an active pimple and need to calm it down or need my makeup to go over something better! one of my favs <3

spot treatment

lion pair acne cream

use it on active pimples or acne scars!

literally a lifesaver. put this baby on and say goodbye to that blemish. moisturizer

nature republic mild & moisture aloe vera gel

okay. admittedly i stopped using it over the summer since my other products are already very moisture-heavy, but i went into winter a few weeks ago wondering why my skin felt so flaky and this has saved my life. super healing and hydrating and a wonderful last step to my routine that kind of seals everything together! bonus

laneige lip sleeping mask at night

dhc lip cream in the morning

shiseido tsubaki premium repair hair mask (for low porosity hair)

shiseido tsuaki premium moist hair care set

and....that's it!

Dragonformers may I present Starbee?

Thunder rumbled as lighting lit up the grey sky in dangerous pattens. Rain poured down hard making each drop feel like thousands of tiny stones. Starscream gave a scowl as his large elegant wings struggled to remain the air even for a skilled flyer like himself this storm was one of the worst ones he ever saw. In the red, white and blue dragon's talons was a small fuzzy black and yellow dragon who's wing was terriblely torn and bleeding.

With a grunt Starscream twisted his lean body avoiding another strike of lighting as he headed for shelter. Quickly glancing down at the tiny shape in his talons, he let out a sigh when he saw Bee was still breathing. "Just hang on a little longer, we'll be home soon"

"Star...it h-hurts" Bee whispered his voice barely audible as the storm drowned out any voices. Wincing he shuffled his weight to look down at his wounds, while most were sallow there was one deep wound running far to close to his swollen stomach.

Suddenly a bright flash forced the pair to shut their eyes, Starscream braced himself to be hit with the lighting only to feel a second set of talons on his body. When they opened their eyes again they found themselves in a warm dry den, Starscream let out a breathy sigh when he saw Skywarp at his side.

"Thank you, Skywarp" Star turned to face his flock mate while he quickly trotted up to the nest. "But Bee needs attention now!"

The black and purple dragon reached for their stockpile of herbs quickly scouping them in his snout and trotted to the nest before handing the herbs to Starscream. "What about the hunters should me and Thundercracker finish them off?"

"Just stay on guard....hopefully the storm made them lose track of us" Starscream sighed as he began treating Bee's wounds.

Skywarp gave a nod and headed for the den's entrance ready to tear apart any human he saw stray too close their den, Meanwhile Thundercracker joined Starscream's side with fresh water and prey so Bumblebee can regain his strength.

The next morning Skywarp woke up the rough shaking of his flock mates paws. With a groan Skywarp opened a his eyes before puffing a cloud of red smoke into Thundercracker's face with a snort. "What is it? Its too early in the morning..."

"Get up lazy salamander" The blue dragon grunted as he gave a playful whack with his tail. "Its happened"

Skywarp's eyes grew wide as he bounced onto his paws and barrelled towards the dens entrance leaving behind Thundercrakcer who only rolled his eyes and slowly followed behind. Inside and in the centre of the nest was Bumblebee who was looking much better and in the fuzzy yellow dragons paws was a small sleeping hatchling.

"Aww, they look like a mini you Star" The purple dragon teased as he lean into his flock leader's side with a smile. "Don't you agree Thundercracker?"

"Mmm a little..." The blue dragon chuckled.

Starscream just rolled his eyes as he snuggled closer to his mate's side, wrapping one of his wings around Bumblebee carefully. "In my eyes, they are just perfect"

Bumblebee just softly smiled as he nuzzled both his hatchling and mate's cheek with his snout. He then turned his attention back to his hatchling pulling them closer to his fuzz to keep them warm and safe.

(Sorry if this a little short, I just wanted to add onto that little Starbee dragonformers idea)

Its not short its perfect!!!

Thank you!!!!

Small dragon bee! Small dragon bee!!

Steve tries to stay quiet while he gets ready for work, but Eddie hears him. He keeps his eyes closed and just listens- to Steve grumbling to himself when his hair doesn’t sit quite right, who starts to hum and whisper some catchy song. Eddie turns his sleepy gaze onto Steve as he shuffles around their room- watching quietly as he slips on his clothes, his shoes, a simple chain with Eddie’s ring around his neck. A warm, affectionate smile breaks across his face. Before he leaves, Steve glances at what he expects to be a sleeping Eddie, but instead, he’s met with a rasped, ‘Hey.’ Eddie sits himself up, stretches his arm across Steve’s side of the bed, and reaches, fingers wiggling. Steve crosses the room to cradle his face.

Their foreheads press, noses bump, and Steve brushes his fingers across scars and dimples.

He breathes a quiet,

‘Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you.’

Eddie huffs a tired laugh,

‘You know I never mind.’

Because, yeah.

Every morning Steve tries to stay quiet while he gets ready for work, but Eddie always hears him.

[petrichorium]

One thing abt me is I have a rlly specific squick that makes me feel nasty and nobody ever tags it bc it’s too nebulous 😭😭😭 and sometimes the dash gets in a mood about it and I end up wanting to cry and also punch someone esp when it’s a char i somewhat like

[blackbutler-readerinsertsandjunk]

tomorrow is my first day back to work and I'm a lil nervous

I haven't been able to get anything written for here bc I've been trying to get a couple other things written (updating my Bill Cipher redemption fic and starting a Gyutaro x reader x Daki because I make poor life choices)

but I'm on light duty for a month, basically just sitting at the register checking people out, unable to do any stocking or anything bc I'm not allowed to lift anything over 15 pounds so I can't lift totes, bend much, or reach much, so I'm allowed to bring something to do in between customers... maybe I'll get some writing done? I feel as if I'll be slacking off bc that's how my brain works

but you know what, I kill myself for that store normally, I don't work full time simply because I can't afford medical insurance if I did, but even working only part time I give my all while I'm there, I'm not someone who slacks off. so if I'm healthfully and approvedly permitted to slack off and take it easy for a month, I guess I'll take it (... plus, I mean, I'll still be working, just light duty, it's not like I'll show up and get paid to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, I'm still gonna be ringing out customers)

ANYWAY MY POINT IS-

get those last requests in! after I get home from work tomorrow, I'll be closing the askbox and won't open it back up till this batch is finished and I swear I mean that this time 😂

[piningpercussionist]

(ooc)

hey guys! You may have noticed some slowed posting over the past couple days and I just wanted to let yall know that it's literally only bc of the heat where I live. I'm like, regularly waking up feeling like I'm suffocating so it has Not Been Fun!
