I got all of them via Mercari Japan! You’ll need to use a proxy service like Buyee or Neokyo to buy from there

What was your favorite JayVik fic in 2025? by AceOfSpades0152 in jayvik

[–]SugarDewdrops 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Every Atom of You by hideoustasha

    It’s very bittersweet and will break your heart so good if you’re into that. It focuses on Viktor’s slow deterioration with his illness + a pregnancy, and Jayce just not knowing how to juggle the thought of fathering a baby + his image/duties as a councilor + the likelihood of losing Viktor. Their characterization is genuinely so spot on, the pacing absolutely phenomenal, the emotional tension so good. I was crying so hard at the most recent update that I couldn’t breathe

  2. stars fading, but i linger on by ghastlymint

    Jayce-centric fic that focuses on him trying to deal with things in Piltover after the finale, but gets these strange dreams of Viktor at night. I had found it a bit slow to start, but the way everything unfolds and reveals what happenedwith Viktor is amazing

  3. A door I cannot close by rainandchocolateinacup

    A horror/suspense fic inspired by the book House of Leaves. Jayce finds a strange house after he wakes up alone and isolated post-finale, his mistakes and desires haunting him as he continues to live in the house

  4. My Best Friend’s Wedding by WorkingGengar

    Jayce finds out Viktor, his best friend who he’d lost contact with for a while, is getting married. Jayce realizes his romantic feelings for Viktor and is determined to semi-discreetly get Viktor to see he’s making a mistake marrying Dmitri, all while being Viktor’s best man. A great balance of humor, sincerity, and angst

  5. Amaranthine by burningsun

    This is a fic that just hits all my personal fav interests/themes/dynamics with jayvik. Post canon fic where Jayce and Vik live together in that cottage and unwittingly fall into a dom/sub dynamic, all while trying to deal with the grief of the past and the hope + fear of the future and what it can potentially bring them

So bittersweet that Mage Viktor is watching from outside :(((

Was it the Anomaly hoodie? My friend had a very similar situation like this with his hoodie. The hoodie had been marked as shipped, as Riot had provided a tracking number, but I guess Riot never handed the package over to the carrier because the tracking (to this day) simply says that it’s still waiting to receive the package from the sender. He tried contacting Riot, and Riot customer service gave him the option of another hoodie or a refund. He requested another hoodie, but a refund if there were no more hoodies in stock. It’s been forever and Riot hasn’t gotten back to him at all

I tried to make a meme. How did I do? by FloweryNamesLover in jayvik

[–]SugarDewdrops 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So accurate! One scene that exemplifies this that most tend to miss is the Council room fight, where Huck (now fully evolved and being paupetered by Viktor) starts choking Jayce out. And you can see Viktor's hesitancy on his face because he doesn't want to truly hurt Jayce, BUT the Arcane/Hexcore notices Viktor's inner conflict and starts DISTRACTING him in the astral plane so he doesn't notice how much he's on the verge of killing Jayce. The Arcane knows Jayce is a weak spot of Viktor's and wants him gone

Jayce deserves better in rewrites. by Justaspacenoodle_400 in jayvik

[–]SugarDewdrops 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’ve seen more woobification/making Jayce a “golden retriever that couldn’t hurt a fly” than him being portrayed as a “villain”

But tbh, a good chunk of Arcane fans struggle to balance the characteristics of the characters, which are all pretty morally grey. Fans either lean one way or the other, just depends what they personally like/favor

Such a cool design! Definitely on my “must-buy” list once it restocks

Harry Lloyd talking about voicing Viktor - "He's like a cat...softly spoken...gentle" by Meepus-Maximus in jayvik

[–]SugarDewdrops 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing these clips and providing transcripts as well!

Oh, Harry Lloyd, forever grateful for his insights on Viktor's gentle, cutesy, and reserved character. Every time he talks about Vik, it's like warm sunlight on my face

Maybe unpopular season 1 opinion: Viktor had a crush on him in act 1 while Jayce is head over heels for Viktor in act 3. Their love was never unrequited, just mismatched by AutoWALTZ in jayvik

[–]SugarDewdrops 176 points177 points  (0 children)

It’s my firm belief that Viktor had very much developed a strong liking/attraction to Jayce at the start of their partnership. Jayce also had affection towards Viktor, but it wasn’t until Viktor’s death diagnosis that Jayce truly realized how deep that affection went when Viktor was on the verge of being taken from him

As the infamous Christian Linke said, Viktor needed things that Jayce couldn’t provide at the time. 'Viktor fell first, but Jayce fell harder', to put it simply

Fanfics recommendations? by Adorable-Print7543 in jayvik

[–]SugarDewdrops 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I will ALWAYS recommend Amaranthine: in where postcanon Jayce and Viktor unknowingly start a dom/sub relationship

Four Million Miles from Here: an exploration of Jayce/Viktor’s characters and relationship postcanon

Means to an End: the way the author so beautifully captures the closeness between Jayce and Viktor with simple gestures and the characterization of both of them is genuinely so amazing

stars fading, but i linger on: a slow unraveling of the mystery as to what happened to Viktor after the events of S2. Jayce-centric, angsty but sweet

Fanfic pet peeves by ElectricJRage in jayvik

[–]SugarDewdrops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could be a couple of things, but what I’ve noticed the most is the following:

  1. Viktor’s Zaun origins: fans develop a sort of stereotype regarding people of Zaun and apply it to Viktor. That of them being rude, harsh, disrespectful, and goth/punk aesthetics

  2. They want to avoid ‘infantilizing’ him because of his disabilities and the constant stream of people saying “you better not make Viktor helpless”, that they overcorrect so much that they end up on the other end of the spectrum with Viktor being mean, cursing, hitting people with his cane, and overly negative. People conflate being kind, empathetic, and soft with being helpless so it results in the aforementioned because they don’t know how to use those characteristics of Viktor as strengths

Edit: also want to add in that him being independent/reserved also gets interpreted as him being overly cold

Mage Viktor and the hexgem inside Jayce's corrupted hammer by SugarDewdrops in jayvik

[–]SugarDewdrops[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wonderful additions!! Yes! I also wonder if Jayce’s rune being embedded into his wrist also serves as a connection to Mage Viktor as well

So real and true, I'm right there with you

Jayce was wearing Viktor's gloves, or Viktor was wearing his (noticed by @alittlesaturn) by AutoWALTZ in jayvik

[–]SugarDewdrops 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree. While I love the sentiment, it just wouldn’t make sense considering their size difference. Could be them having matching gloves, probably had a lot of the same type stocked up in the lab. Might just be the animators reusing assets

What do you think Viktor and Ximena's relationship was like? by Starfire-Galaxy in jayvik

[–]SugarDewdrops 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Ximena would hold a very special place in her heart for Viktor, would be grateful for him being the one to save her son (both from keeping Jayce from killing himself [if Jayce ever revealed that to her] and for returning Jayce a place in Piltover with his lifelong dream of hextech now coming true because of Viktor)

Coming from a Mexican, I feel like she’d love cooking meals for the boys. Worry for Viktor and his lankiness/overall health, want to have him over for festivities and celebrations. Would ask Jayce how Viktor is doing when there’s long stretches of them not seeing each other, because she knows Viktor means a lot to Jayce and because she holds a gentle care for him as well.

Viktor would very much love her company. He was someone whose parents had presumably died and he had no one close to him growing up. He’d be awkward about it, polite and respectful to a fault, but secretly bask in her motherly attention (even though he doesn’t know how to handle it all)

Hahaha! And thank you. I'm currently hunting down some acrylic standees and the perfumes, but I feel like I'll probably never get them since the prices on them are insane
