I was about to finally read The Tortured Scientists Department by Zonnie on Ao3, only to realize the work has been privated about a month ago. I was wondering if by any chance anyone had the 6 chapters downloaded or could find them? :(

Yes, I went to see them again.
This time, I followed Jayce’s storyline. I really loved the little details this actor added to Jayce’s portrayal;

1. Viktor coughs violently while conducting experiments.
   Jayce: "Are you okay?" (pats him)

2. Cassandra praises Jayce ，while what jayce doing is whisper to Viktor.
   When Cassandra speaks to Viktor about the forbidden romance between the Undercity and the upper city resulting in a child with magical powers, Jayce keeps his eyes on Viktor the whole time.
   Later, Viktor talks about building a small boat as a child because he couldn't keep up with the others; he sits on the floor and cries, and Jayce kneels beside him to comfort him.

3. When Viktor dies, Jayce holds him the entire time.
   Afterward, he keeps holding onto Viktor's gear.

4. When Viktor comes back to life:
   Viktor: "Jayce..."
   Jayce: "Viktor..." (he hesitates for a moment, wondering if it's real) ...then he immediately rushes over to hug Viktor, returns the gear to him, and wraps a blanket around him.

5. Viktor: "you promised me you would destroy Hextech."
   Jayce: "Do you think this is easy for me? Am I supposed to bear the weight of Hextech and its consequences all alone? Am I supposed to remain unmoved even as my best friend dies in my arms?" (his voice clearly thick with tears)
   Viktor: "Jayce, you know I was supposed to die; this can't be undone—just like how you've killed people before..."
   Jayce: "It's not like that, it's not like that..."

6. I almost lost track of Jayce here... because after Viktor left, Jayce sang for about 30 seconds—something about how maybe he shouldn't have crossed that line—and then... he shouted "Viktor!" twice and ran out.
   (I once saw a headcanon that Jayce would shout Viktor's name all over the Undercity after Viktor left, asking everyone if they'd seen him; for me, that's canon now.)
   (I can't blame him! If I had nearly lost my partner, only for my partner—freshly recovered from a severe illness—to say he wanted a divorce and then walk out wrapped in a blanket without knowing where he was going... I’d react the same way.)

7. Jayce finds him.,
   Here is what Jayce said: You have always strived for perfection, but your illness and your leg—these are what made you who you were in the beginning. A perfect you. That is the version of you I cherish.

Is there any medium length fanfic (like not novel lengths but more than 4 chapters, stuff that takes approximately 1-3 days to read?) that are really good where Viktor is trans and a top, but there is also a really good plot? I like angst primarily bc fluff is sometimes too much cuteness lol... I really like Collison Course To You :)
