    Summary

    "Viktor knows with a sudden thumping certainty, as meaty as a heartbeat, that Jayce has come here to exact either creation or destruction. Viktor would tremble, his blood aquiver, if he still possessed blood, if he were still ruled by emotion.

    Split wide like a rotting fruit, the hammer is a magnificent and terrible thing to behold, brandished at full charge and dripping with violent potential.

    It is pointed directly at Viktor’s heart.

    From on high, all Viktor can do is stare back, frozen in shock, the responses he’d thought he’d excised from himself—the affection, the desperation, the fear—bursting through the door right alongside Jayce Talis."

    Summary

    From his post, Viktor had a perfect view of him, ever studious and ever handsome, so young. Anyone with eyes and an interest in men would find Jayce interesting to watch across the room, he often told himself. Viktor was no stranger to attraction, but his proclivity for alone time had relegated him to a few trysts over the years, largely physical, never lasting. Just enough to scratch the itch.

    Watching Jayce was scratching an itch.

    Catching his eye across the room and smiling like they had a secret was scratching an itch.

    But Viktor wasn’t delusional. With all of Paris at Jayce’s fingertips, it would be ill-advised and unthinkable for him to settle for a banged-up, old librarian.

    ---
    Paris, 1976. University librarian Viktor can understand why he has a crush on a new, foreign grad student. He cannot understand why that student wants to be his friend.

    Summary

    Jayce Talis needs to get out of New York. His publisher calls it a “creative retreat,” but Jayce knows better. His work is slipping, the city feels too loud, too suffocating. So he drives—somewhere quieter, somewhere slower. He rents a room in a small town that barely exists on a map, tells himself it’s just for the summer.

    He isn’t looking for a muse.

    But then there’s his new landlord—Viktor.

    Sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued, cigarette in hand. Unbothered by the heat, unimpressed by Jayce, unreadable in a way that makes Jayce want to study him a little too long.

    Summary

    After the doctor hurts Rio, a freshly-orphaned Viktor is taken in at The Last Drop. Years later, there's a riot on the bridge.

    In which child-Viktor refuses to abandon Silco; an act of devotion that changes the trajectory of Zaun's uprising. While Vander negotiates with Enforcers, Silco single-parents a revolution in the dark. Someone has to fund his son's endless charity work and vaccinate zaunish kids.

    There's siblings-of-divorce, waverider eggs, volatile crystals...and a Piltie wandering around the Lanes looking for blue gems and a ghost.

    Illustrated! +more art on tumblr, bsky, twitter, insta.
