(maybe this has already been discussed idk)

so yall know silco and Jayce met and knew each other, right? and then we have the whole talk of hammerhound and shimmersluts / Vikco , no silco and Jayce. BECAUSE JAYCE REMINDED SILCO OF VANDER AND SILCO REMINDED JAYCE OF VIKTOR. silco absolutely would have made the first move, cause hello he has more experience, he’s still hurt because vander is gone. and jayce, being the people pleaser he is— GOES FOR IT.

Please tell me i’m not crazy and that this is a good idea

Aggressive mimicry

Jayce x Silco

A form of mimicry in which a predator (the mimic) closely resembles another organism (the model) that is attractive to a third organism (the dupe) on which the mimic preys.

"What exactly are you testing?" "Uh, not important! We—" "We're testing to see how long it'll vibrate before it starts to overheat or break down." "—And that's all we're testing!" "Yes," Viktor's smile is downright devious. "I am using Jayce as the test subject."

Jayce and Viktor are caught mid-experiment. Silco lends a hand (for the sake of science, of course). Oneshot continuation to "On His Mouth Like Liquor."

And Yet. -Jailco

"I'm an affront to your cause." Jayce coughed, and attempt to sitting up leading to blood spilling from his lips. He'd been horribly injured from another explosion caused by Jinx, he'd been crushed under the rubble and if not for Sevika finding him he would've been good as dead.

"Pardon?" Silco looks over at him, orange eye piercing through the veil of shadow he'd been sitting in, leg crossed over the other in a chair as he watched Jayce recover. He had just finished his meeting with Jayce about peace between Piltover and Zaun, they ended on vague agreements, but Silco had said clearly that he was willing to kill Jayce to get what he wanted. He'd been smoking a cigar as Singed took his time to mend Jayce's wounds, which he'd been told wouldn't kill him since Sevika had gotten to him so fast.

"You…could've let me die, you said you'd kill me anyway, so why?" He winces and lays back down on the bed, from the harsh lighting from the single window and the dusty surfaces all around him, he figured he was in Zaun. He takes in the small room he was in, then looks back to the man staring at him from the darkness. "Don't you want your…freedom? This could cause a war if they knew…I'd been injured because of her-"

Silco waves away at his words, his silhouette shifting as he did, taking a slow drag of his cigar before standing slowly, Jayce's eyes follow him, watching intently as the eye slowly rose then stopped. "Jinx is very accident prone, many get caught in the crossfire." He punctuates his words by stomping out his cigar, crushing the ignited leaves under his expensive boot. "It wasn't intentional, and I will be sure to tell them that. If Sevika hadn't done it already that is." He sounded contemplative as he walks from the shadows, Jayce looks at his intense facial details accentuated by the light of the window. He couldn't help but stare at the scars running from lip to temple, seeming to strike his obsidian hair with a single stripe of grey. His breathing picked up and he had no idea why, he wanted to sit up from his vulnerable position on his back.

They stare at eachother for a bit, the cold air of the room striking Jayce to his core, he usually had his shirt off in the forge, but that heat was absent here. Silco was watching him, inspecting his bandaged body for signs of something, something Jayce couldn't pin point from his expression. It was odd, Silco's face. A dead eye that looked swollen, and impossibly firey orange pupil that shifted in tandem with his other, the good eye that was impossile to decipher color wise from this room, the lighting making his eye look vaguely green, but he remember it as a lighter blue early that day. Was it still the same day? Viktor was going to kill him. "Your partner, he came to see you." Silco walked around the uncomfortable table Jayce was laying on, fingers grazing just the edge of it as he spoke. "I suppose he'd been worried, hearing of your near death so far from the comfort of home." He getly taps Jayce's shoulder, which causes him to wince. "He cares terribly for you, Counsilor Talis." The way Silco spoke his title had felt more teasing than anything else, and Jayce felt the need to defend himself, but he was hardly in shape to do that.

"You never answered my question." Jayce thought about Viktor coming to see him, quitting work on hextech just to look for him. "You could have left me to die under that rubble," He foregoes his body screaming in pain, hissing as he leans on his elbows and looks directly at Silco, he swears that he can see a slight worried look in his good eye. "And yet…" He swallows heavily to think about it, how he could be dead right now if it weren't for Silco, how Viktor could be mourning him had nothing been done. "Yet I got Sevika to save you, yes." Silco places a hand on Jayce's chest and carefully pushes him to lay back down. "Because, Counsilor Talis, enough death has happened here, and as you said…" He trails off and reaches into his coat pocket. "There would be a war if you died." He reached down and places a mask over Jayce's face, then pulled out his cigar book from his pocket , punctuating his implication of war with the sharp sound of the cigar guillotine cutting the end of it. "And, you are the man of progress, it would be bitter sweet for you to miss the future." He places the cigar into his mouth and reaches for his lighter. "Rest, Counsilor. You need it." The sound of a lighter sparking and Silco's boots slowly walking away from him was the last sound he could register as gas filled his lungs, he tried fighting it for a while, but he was too weak to keep his eyes open. All he could think of was Silco, and how he'd seemed worried about his pain, that soft blue-ish eye swimming in his vision.

[caspercryptid]

Hi! Are you still taking requests? I would like some Silco/Jayce. Yeah, I know, a really rare ship but I can't find a single fic of them and I'm sad. Something like maybe they make peace without Silco losing Jinx and then after that they work together and with time they get to know each other better.

I'm gonna go ahead and make this a continuation of This just for ease since that'd basically be my premise anyway <3 thank you for the request! always happy to meet your rarepair needs, feel free to send me more requests.

-

It was done.

Jayce didn't quite know how he'd done it, but somewhere in the space in the council room where he'd stood and delivered the words and made an impassioned plea for mercy and understanding, he'd done it. There had been some questions about retribution and he'd- admittedly, kind of blacked out for a second.

When he'd asked Mel, afterwards, exactly what he'd said--- well, first, she'd laughed at him, because she'd asked him to explain and he had. But once she was done laughing at him, she said that he had given a very compelling speech about starting relations with a new city-state on the grounds of mutual respect, of understanding that a civil war had been raging for a long time now, a quiet one, and in a war both sides have acted in ways that were not proportional or right. He'd also said- and Mel had noted this with a certain glint of amusement- that every person in this war had acted to protect their families from the enforcers. That every person they could make an example of was someone's father, someone's daughter, had a family. It wouldn't just punish them. It would salt the ground they were trying to grow a better future in. Mel'd patted him on the shoulder, told him he'd done good, and left it at that.

He suspected he'd said more than he meant to, especially given that Viktor'd seemed similarly amused, but Viktor had been eager to get back to the lab and Jayce had been eager to let him, with promises he'd follow as soon as he could (and Mel had agreed to check on him, Jayce needed Viktor okay, too.)

So he had it all in hand. He just needed to go pay someone a visit.

Zaun seems... quieter. Than the last time he was down here. And of course it was different, his blood wasn't pumping, he wasn't alerted to every single sound, but he walks through the streets in his white coat and- ah.

People were getting out of his way.

He takes a deep breath, reminds himself that he was doing this officially and that was the only way to do it, pushes aside the feeling that he's going to die down here, and continues on.

The last drop is legitimately an impressive building. It looks a little rough- something's clearly come crashing through and he has a certain degree of suspicion about what (who) it was-- but there's a bouncer at the door and he can see that tables have been set to rights again, even through the door, though his view of it is immediately blocked by a man who's built like a brick shithouse.

"Councilman Talis." he says, his voice absolutely dripping disdain. "To what do we owe the pleasure." Jayce tips his chin up. "I'm here to see Silco." "No you're not." Jayce feels eyes on his back and all over him. He's probably surrounded, but he doesn't look back. He draws himself up, ready to retort, when the words are stolen out of his mouth. "Yes he is."

Silco himself pushes the bouncer out of the way, and Jayce... has to admit that the light of the last drop does Silco some favors. He looks completely in his element, radiating a kind of power he hadn't on the bridge. It's half in the way he looks in the neon glow, in the grime of the city, half in the way everyone scatters to get out of his way. The city's like an extension of his hands, the way it responds when he moves.

Jayce inclines his head and follows when Silco gestures him in, not bothering to spare the bouncer a second glance.

He glances around at the destruction, feeling a little pang of guilt in his chest at the mess. If he'd taken the gauntlets---

No. What was between Vi and Silco was between them. He couldn't have taken them back, couldn't have told her she was wrong. He could only choose a different way forward for himself, and he had.

He had.

He follows Silco up to his office, which is empty, and scans the room. There's... a little bit of dried blood on the floor. A glow catches his eye and he looks up. There are... neon paintings all over the ceiling, glowing phosphorescent.

Something-- oddly comforting settles in Jayce's chest. It shouldn't be, he realizes, distantly. But there's something about the scrawled writing on the ceiling of such a formal office that affirms that-- well. At the very least, Silco wasn't lying about how much she meant to him. The little marks of her presence are everywhere. It's not a portrait on the wall the way some of his coworkers would have, but, well. It's Zaun.

He was starting to really appreciate what that means.

Silco sits and just makes a diplomatic gesture at the other chair, and Jayce slides him the papers.

"We're going to have to build you a hexgate." He says, without fanfare. "Rather than giving you full access to Piltover's. Is that an equitable compromise?" Silco raises an eyebrow. "You'd hand over your technology that easily?" He asks, and Jayce snorts. "If you disassemble it, we're going to have problems. I trust that you're aware that what you might gain isn't worth that cost." "An awful lot of trust, Councillor." Silco muses, and it's almost a question. Jayce swallows, hard. "---you trusted me." He says. "Or at the very least, trusted me to- act within what you think of me. I know you're assuming i'm soft. That i'm balking at the first sign of danger. I'm not too prideful to admit I don't have the stomach for a war. I don't want one. I'm a scientist, not a soldier, and certainly not a general." He looks up at Silco, chin up. "I don't trust you either." he says. "Not on any personal level. But you showed your hand. You may be a monster, but you're a man, too. And I can work with that. You don't want a war. You're willing to do what it takes to stop anyone else from starting one." Silco is giving him a look he doesn't quite know how to define, but it makes his pulse do something fast and strange, like a bird trapped in a cage, beating its wings.

"You're uncommonly observant." Silco says, finally. Jayce's lips twitch. "Scientist." he says.

"Must not be easy, being their poster boy." "---It isn't." Jayce admits.

"You're not cut out for this."

"I'm not."

"And yet." Silco muses. "You manage it anyway. I'm finding myself impressed."

"---thank you." Jayce says. He's trying not to look flustered, and he pushes himself up from the chair, offering a hand. "Do you accept the terms?"

Silco stands too.

It happens very fast.

Silco's face is suddenly very close to his, and his heart just about stops, because Silco is holding his chin. His expression is still flat but his eyes are blazing.

"Don't misunderstand." he says. "I'm impressed with this little charade. But if you think for one moment that I trust you enough to let my guard down-" "No." Jayce says, firmly, cutting him off. "I dont--- expect you to. I expect you to distrust and hate me. I expect you to act as a citizen of Zaun. But don't misunderstand me either, Silco, I'm not unaware of the politics. I may not be suited for it, but that doesn't mean I don't know what I'm doing. Despite that-" He pulls back, out of Silco's grip. "-I can't make deals with Zaun." he says. "So I am expecting you to act as a representative of Zaun's interests. And the second you don't, it won't matter that you're a man with a daughter, because there are more people than you who've staked their lives on this. Hold up your end. I'll hold up mine. Now do we have a deal or not?"

Silco is still giving him that look, and before Jayce can question him, his thumb presses against Jayce's lip.

"There's a traditional way to seal a bargain." He says, and before Jayce can question him, he--

It takes a second to process that SIlco is kissing him, and that he's kissing Silco back, on instinct, because his face was close and he was half prepared for it, half thinking about it, even though he was in no way prepared for it, definitely not thinking about it--

Silco pulls back, looking undefinably smug.

"We have a deal."

Jayce x Silco/ Jailco, but in a significantly fluffier universe where Jayce doesn't know to ask for Jinx as part of the peace treaty. They agree to get married as part of the Zaun-Piltover Independent-But-Allies deal.

Jinx to Vi, leaning against a wall at the wedding: you have to admit, the good thing about him being my dad is that I'm not the craziest person in the room any more.

Sevika *clinks glasses with Caitlyn*: well this wasn't what I expected to happen, but it's worth a try I guess? Anyway I hope your girlfriend stops starting fights with me.

Mel, Viktor and Silco all assume this is a purely political marriage and actually get along really well at the wedding. Viktor's happy someone else will be raising undercity problems on the Council, and maybe Jayce will get to spend more time in the lab. Mel's happy to have another well-informed pragmatist on the Council.

Jayce, interrupting them, flushed with progress: coming to bed, husband?

Jinx: WHAT I did not need to find out that my dad's about to have sex for the first time

Silco:... sweetie what did you think my stories about Vander were about.

Jinx: OH GOD... TMI TMI TMI I am traumatised now.

Viktor, Mel: ....?

Jayce: Mel you are the most beautiful creature in the world, but all the time you KNEW my type was sickly skinny Zaunites.

Viktor: ....?!?!

Jayce:... and political gain

Mel:  ....?!?!

Silco: well, in for a penny, in for a pound I suppose. *smirks* Have a good night sweetie, everyone else!

Hat tip @caspercryptid for the Jailco Manifesto.

I had fun reading the Jayce x Silco ship manifesto and I was about to contradict it.

But I realized that actually the main argument I can see why Jayce x Silco would work is because Vander actually had a decent amount of similarities with Vander (tall, strong, put in a position of leadership he arguably isn't qualified for, beloved by the people, might have a questionable relationship with violence/their temper, both backed away from violence because they didn't have the stomach anymore, protective of others (Jayce -> Viktor, Vander -> the kids), both made a deal with the enemy to prevent future bloodshed (Jayce -> Silco, Vander -> Grayson).

(and Silco at some point liked Vander)

And a decent amount of similarities between Mel and Silco (ostentatiously stylish, at least appear morally dubious, smart and cunning, political beings, arguably the head a council of corrupt dumbasses).

(and Jayce likes Mel/was attracted to Mel)

So I see that as a good argument why they would put up with the other one being around. Because they already put up with a similar person in the past.

You might not know this, but your local sports stadium is having a bit of a crisis. It’s practically falling down, the billionaires explain, and we need to fix it. The only way we can fix it is to use public funds, because the banks (which we are on a first-name basis with) know that governments are beholden to public rage, and won’t want to lose their football, baseball, racquetball, jai alai, or hockey teams to a rival city. Without such amusements, they’d have to resort to buying ridiculous public entitlements like a library or intact footbridge.

Regulatory capture is all around us, and I figured it was about time I got a slice of the pie. You see, car racing is still seen as a rich person’s hobby. This is likely because wheel-to-wheel competition driving consists almost entirely of stacking up a bunch of money and then setting fire to it, often literally. And unlike giving millions of dollars to the billionaire ownership of a team of hockey players each getting paid millions of dollars, funding a racetrack is seen as a little tacky. Amongst the cognoscenti who are capable of fogging a mirror for long enough to get elected at your local municipal council, it’s just not good government.

Of course, golf courses are hugely funded by those same governments. They have all the essentials of a good race track: a large amount of open space. Humanity has trained and formed from birth a special race of warriors who are perfect for driving cars extremely quickly on rough terrain while only occasionally killing themselves and spectators. They’re called Finns. And while I’m not a Finn (you may have already been able to tell by my lack of interest in reindeer testicle-flavoured Slurpees) I do like to race shitty cars very quickly offroad. That’s why I asked city council to pony up the big bucks to form my new golf course. It’s a private club, I explain to them, very elite, and I have the perfect site for it: right next to my house, where the low-income apartments currently are.

Things went well on our inaugural race, until the Mayor and his cronies dropped by, bags in tow. Apparently they didn’t get the memo about just how exclusive this country club really was. We bought you a golf course, they explained, while looking confused at the scent of two-stroke oil and the sound of screaming small-displacement turbocharged gasoline engines. We deserve to play on it.

That scam ended awfully abruptly. Once I’m out of prison, though, I’ll be right back at it. These bars can’t hold me forever, mostly because the state only agreed to pay JailCo 30 cents per bar, and the investors didn’t want to blow the budget.

He’s drifting, truly, in a deep, cozy fog. Safe. The door creaks. Jayce doesn’t twitch a muscle, despite the thrill that instantly thrums in his heart. He drifts more. He swears he hears a murmur. Someone, talking. Silco? Here early? Jayce internally smiles, and his face crawls to show it. Gods, but he’s so tired. Unconsciousness has him gripped in its talons. It threatens to pull Jayce under. No not yet...

Or: Jayce comes to find rest and solitude in The Last Drop. He doesn't realize that the hands touching him aren't familiar — but fortunately, Silco is there to righten any wrongs.

HRGGGGH OK IMAGINE. JAILCO COFFEE SHOP AU JAYCE IS CUTE BARISTA AND SILCO COMES IN LIKE EVERY DAY FOR HIS BITTER ASS COFFEE 🦐

Jayce is pretty friendly, but he has a rule. Mirror the customer’s energy. If they don’t wanna talk, don’t make them talk. Throw out a half a conversational lead, get no reply? Don’t push it. Some people are lonely and desperately wanted to have a conversation over the top of their latte, but a lot of them just want the fucking latte. He understands that! He is very good at understanding that.

Fuck his rule, though, he desperately needs to know this guy’s deal.

“Today I'm gonna do it.” He tells Cait, calling up from where he’s on his knees getting out the register paper. “I’m gonna ask him.”

“No you’re not.” Cait says, distracted herself refilling the cups. “—I swear the closers never remember to—” She cuts off, abrupt, but Jayce just takes the chance to barrel on.

“Yes I am! Seriously, he comes in here every single morning, same time, and this time i’m—”

He pops up with the paper in his hand, and. Well. oops.

His favorite regular is standing in front of the counter. He has his good eyebrow lifted, and the scar and the custom glass eye with the red fiery iris does look extra intimidating today, but Jayce grins, instinctively.

“Hey!” he says. “Your usual?”

“My usual, yes.” He says, casually, and for half a second as Jayce rings him up he thinks he’s gotten away clean, but as the man— Silco, Jayce reminds himself, that was the name he’d been writing down on cups for months— inserts his card, he asks—

“Have a regular you’re curious about?”

“Oh, yeah.” Jayce says, processing the payment. “—It’s always the hot ones with the weird drink orders.”

Silco’s eyebrow inches a little higher, and Jayce just grins wider. Their standoff is unbroken for a moment, but then the terminal beeps at Silco to remove his card, and he complies.

“—What kind of strange?” He asks, and Jayce decides that the receipt printer’s exact mechanisms are fascinating, actually, and really do require his complete attention, and keeps his eyes on Silco’s receipt as it unfurls.

“Well, it’s a really normal order, is the thing.” Jayce says. “Like maybe he could make it at home. Not the kind of thing you’d usually expect a businessman to order every day at a coffee shop. At—” he glances at the clock before he glances up at Silco, “—eight fifteen. Or so. Every day.”

Silco’s eyes travel over Jayce, like he’s considering him in his entirety, before he meets his eyes.

“Perhaps he’s interested in the barista.” He says, tone considering, and Jayce very impressively does not have a heart attack. He’s proud of himself on this one, actually.

“Maybe the barista’s off at noon today.” He says.

“Do you bring a change of clothes to work?” Silco asks, and Jayce blinks.

“—yeah. Don’t wanna wear the uniform longer than I have to.”

“Then you have a lunch date.” Silco says, reaching over the counter and grabbing his receipt off the printer. “Be off on time.”

Jayce opens his mouth to make a joke about getting off, closes it again. “Yeah.” He says, lamely. Silco looks amused at him and just leaves to the pickup counter without another word.

“Smooth.” Caitlyn mutters, under her breath.

“I got the date, didn’t i?” Jayce mutters back.

“Either that or you’re being kidnapped."

“That guy can kidnap me any time.” Jayce says, fervently, and Caitlyn shoves him.

“Go— get more mocha syrup. I can’t with you.”

Jayce complies, and it’s honestly an effort not to skip.

Nailed it.

“Hold on,” Jayce still reels, “Lemme check if I heard that correctly. You want me to sit on your face?” Silco’s unconcerned nod somehow makes Jayce more nervous. And the immediate eye roll, more fearful. “Silco, I’m a heavy man.” “I hadn't noticed,” the man drawls unimpressed. “Okay,” Jayce gives in, because Silco doesn’t ask Jayce for things like this. “I just have one request then.”

Or: Jayce finally gets Silco to wear an eyepatch. For sex!
