#husband!viktor

Synopsis : Viktor is your husband. Or rather, he was, until he finally succumbed to his illness. But reality is relative, and somehow, you find yourself blasted in an alternate timeline; thanks to Heimerdinger and Ekko. The mission? For them: save that universe. For you: meet anew your not-so-dead-husband.

Except here, of course, that version of Viktor doesn't know you... And your first day as the new assistant doesn't go well.

“This is totally unnecessary.” “Not this again,” says Jayce, a hand rustling through his usually well-kept hair, “It’s for your well-being.” Viktor frowns. Adjusting himself on the uncomfortable stool near his desk, he glances at his gloved hand. “Do you think Sky is replaceable? She is not.”

Basically "stranger to lovers" but oh by the way we are husband and wife you just don't remember because it was another timeline.

Viktor is your husband. Or rather, he was. And while his body is decaying into the ground, your grief doesn't decompose. Nothing transforms your pain... Until Heimerdinger and his new pupil break into the old lab, claiming they are from another timeline. One where things went terribly, terribly wrong. Viktor, your Viktor; destroyer of worlds?

No. Not yours. This one doesn't know you. No memories shared. Paths never crossed. And yet...

How can you say no to seeing his face again? How can you not entertain the thought of holding him against you... one more time?

Viktor is your husband. Or rather, he was.

Perhaps all of these months of back and forth between your place and the lab, and really nothing else besides a few sandwiches, had finally made you lose it. The lack of social interaction. The grieving. You have heard it does something to people.  Your knees hurt, still anchored to the floor, yet you cannot move. You can only blink at the two intruders. “Founder Heimerdinger?”, you babble. “You’re… dead… aren’t you?” The young man glances at his smaller counterpart. ”Ouch. So the universe where Viktor ends up happy is the one where you’re dead?”
