Summary
Viktor knew how he looked. With his sharp angles and hollowed cheeks and colt-like limbs, he was a serpentine god with all his alabaster beauty.
The nobles whispered about it. The investors watched Viktor move, fascination warring with discomfort. The Council scoffed at the idea of a Zaunite on their board—until they saw him.
Exotic. Enthralling. An exquisite thing to be coveted for themselves.
Viktor had once despised it.
Despised the way they stared, the way their fascination was always tinged with something possessive, as if he were a rare specimen on display. Loathed the murmurs in the Academy halls, the furtive glances that dogged him everywhere he went.
Now?
Now, he used it.
If they should lust after him, they did so at their own peril.
Desire was a fundamental human weakness. A distraction. A vulnerability. And if Jayce Talis was to prove useful, then Viktor would use every weakness he had.

Summary
Jayce Talis, newly promoted soloist at City of Progress Ballet, has just been cast in the role of a lifetime: the male lead in What Could Have Been, a rarely-performed ballet he happens to be obsessed with. The role originated by his celebrity crush Viktor. The role in which Viktor had a career-ending injury.
It’s already a lot of pressure. And then guess who shows up to rehearse it with him.

Summary
The stories say a siren's song is to be feared. They call it a curse, a death sentence.
They are wrong. The song is simply a beginning. The real danger is far softer, slower, and sweeter, a doom borne upon the siren's kiss.
Whatever the truth, Viktor has no cause for concern. For what would a siren want from a broken man like him, fleeing a lonely life in Piltover to another by the sea?

Summary
They were partners in all the ways that mattered. Collaborators, Mel would introduce them at parties, and Jayce would nudge Viktor’s shoulder lightly, murmuring co-conspirators.
It always felt like they were getting away with something, a trick they were pulling on everyone else, to be allowed to make what they loved with the person they loved most in the world. It felt like mischief, sitting curled around a notebook at three or four in the morning, marking out hasty staffs while Viktor told him what would happen next, hour after hour spinning out stories. It was magic to him, what Viktor could do. It felt like sitting in the presence of magic.
And then, like most magic tricks, it ended.
—
After years of silence, Jayce and Viktor have one more chance to make music together—and maybe something more.
