Summary
“Have you ever heard the legend of soulmates?” she asks as her eyes scan the page.
“Uh, only from stories.”
“Then you know that Tui and La were the first soulmates in existence. Two halves of one whole. They were so joyous of their union that they wanted to share that gift with mortals. But the universe had other plans, making soulmates extremely rare and cursed with hardship and loss. The only way to know is that soulmates share dreams, share bending, and, most importantly, share their love lines,” she points to the top crease on his hand, where two deep lines run parallel to each other before intertwining with hatches and crosses and connecting finally.
Then it strikes him, her comment about sharing dreams, sharing bending, and it’s like he can feel his inner flame roar to life. The fire between them flares.
“Soulmates are very, very rare, and are known to change the course of the world,” she murmurs, caressing the line. “The last known pair was Sozin and Roku, and it seems the spirits have chosen you.”

Summary
Bradley remembers the first time he met Jake Seresin.
It’s their first year at the Naval Academy. Bradley’s older than the others, because Maverick had pulled his papers and had set him back, but he isn't about to let that stop him from blowing through this place and coming out at the top.
He’s made it this far and he’s gonna be damned if he doesn’t exceed every expectation he’s held to.
Jake Seresin, though…that’s a whole ‘nother can of worms.

Summary
Jake Seresin is the best of the best. He’s always been, because he hadn’t ever let himself be anything else.
In high school, that meant being the varsity swim team captain and graduating top of his class. At the Naval Academy, that meant being the fastest 200 meter freestyle swimmer they’d ever seen, meant being Valedictorian of his class and graduating with an aerospace engineering degree. At the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station, it meant getting the top scores, it meant being sent to Top Gun. In the Navy, it meant being the only current generation Navy pilot to have a confirmed air combat kill since Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.
He’s worked hard to be where he’s at today and he’s never been afraid to flaunt it.
Even if it means that his only constant, his only comfort, is the ghosts of the people he’s lost that dog his every move.

Summary
“Drifter,” Eris greets over the transmission. “You need to come to Luna; you must see this.”
“Like hell I do,” he grumbles back as he watches the Gambit match going on. Red team needs to step up their game next round if they want to win.
He hears a frustrated sigh. “It pertains to what... they showed us.”
Drifter tenses, frozen for merely a second before putting his care-free persona up front and center. It’s a good thing Eris can’t see him over the transmission, can’t see the way his hands have started to shake despite his clenched fists. He knows his silence is telling enough. He flicks on the AI commentator for the match and turns away from the screen. “Is it—?”
“Yes,” she interrupts.
“I’ll be there in an hour.”

Summary
Shin can’t help the glare he’s sending to Drifter who’s been on the comms for the last hour with the infamous Eris Morn. He came over for a night of getting dined and dicked, and that three-eyed woman had called in the middle of the first.
Annoyed didn’t even begin to cover it.

Summary
It starts as a matter of curiosity. Viktor notices an anomaly in the Arcane, and he investigates. Such is his mandate.
It starts as a matter of desperation. If Jayce didn't know better, he'd swear Viktor is haunting their lab, and frankly, he's not opposed to the idea. Anything to bring his partner back to him.
They've always been accidental revolutionaries, innovators bonded by the same obsessive tendencies and dauntless passion, and somewhere along the way, that obsession and passion bled into their relationship. Their partnership. They're destined to be together, it seems, and break a few laws of nature and magic while they find their way.
OR, season two, but Viktor remembers what it means to be human a little sooner. Jayce is still the cause. He's always the cause.

Summary
“This is wrong,” Jayce rasped, his voice strained with torment, so unlike the Jayce that had left mere hours ago to dance and drink and make merry and maybe even make love to the beautiful Mel Medarda. “This is too far back, I shouldn’t be here—”
This Jayce was like a wild animal, bearded and shaggy, furious and heartbroken.
The huge weapon thudded to the floor once again, and Viktor finally dared to speak.
“Jayce, is that… you?”
Stewing in his loneliness, research assistant Viktor witnesses an Anomaly take place in the laboratory he shares with Jayce Talis, potentially altering life as they know it (or might never come to know).

Summary
"I just . . ." Jayce shakes his head. His voice is low, almost apologetic. "I don't want to make things harder for you, V."
"You make everything harder, Jayce."
A beat passes. Then another. Maybe five. "Do I really?"
Viktor's expression softens for a moment. He nods his head; so slight it could be missed. "Yes," he says grimly. "It is your greatest talent."
Then Viktor surges up on his toes and crushes his mouth against Jayce's with all the desperation of a starved man.
Jayce and Viktor get into an argument. Somehow, they end up with their hands down each other's pants.

Summary
Through a strength he never knew he possessed, Jayce drags the pieces of his fractured mind back into cohesion and builds a fortress out of memories. He relives old conversations over and over, preserving his sanity through Viktor's voice and better times with his partner. He doesn't know how he'll escape. He only knows that he has to try.
Then Viktor breaks the script.
OR, Jayce isn't corrupted by the Arcane. Viktor is determined to bring him home.
