Timebomb Fanfic. What if the bridge fight went another way? How will the story change? None of the artworks are mine.(Credit to the artists for their great work).

ARCANE S2 SPOILERS! Ekko never thought he would see Jinx again. He'd always loved her, but they hadn't spoken in over two years. After Isha's death, Jinx finds Ekko, seeking to turn her life around for Isha. As Jinx navigates her journey, Ekko navigates his feelings. Could they be more?

SPOILERS AHEAD - Please read ACT 1 before proceeding Three months after the mercenary guild's defeat, Ravenhurst enjoys a fragile peace. Ekko and Jinx, now Powder, have grown closer while aiding the town's people. But beneath the calm, dark forces are stirring. Kalstead, now under Demacian guard, seems secure-but that's exactly what Swain plans to exploit. A master manipulator, he outsmarts the city's defenses, launching an invasion that could change everything. Swain's target is unclear, but years of planning have led him to Kalstead. He seeks a powerful artifact hidden within the city, and the mysterious nine-tailed Vastaya woman tied to it. Amid the chaos of the attack, Vi and Caitlyn arrive, searching for Jinx and Vander. What was meant to be a routine mission quickly becomes a deadly struggle for survival. Ekko and Powder are pulled into a conflict far larger than themselves, as the city falls under siege. Secrets are revealed, alliances tested, and Swain's true ambitions come into focus. With Kalstead's future hanging in the balance, will Ekko, Powder, and their newfound allies survive, or will Swain claim the city?

(NOT MY ART) After escaping Stillwater, Jinx is severely depressed after Isha's sacrifice. She has no one to turn to and is wondering around the underground, until she has a plan..

⚠️Chapter 1-5 (possibly even more) will be rewritten once the story is completed.⚠️ This is a continuation of season two. You might as well call this story season three, where the focus is on especially Jinx and Ekkos relationship. ~ ,,You know, I've always wanted to travel. Ionia, Ixtal, maybe even Demacia, I mean, magic is fully banned there right?'' A hint of desperation and hope in her voice. ,,Let's leave this place, Ekko. I-I know it's a selfish request, but... We can make a newstart. Make new friends. Finally leaving this never ending nightmare. Together.'' Her eyes were glowing more than they already do while spilling those words out. But it only made him frown. She closed her eyes, she saw his look. She knew he won't run away with her to peace. ,,I would love to... you know I would. But not now. We can't just leave our people, Powder.'' ~ Art doesn't belong to me. English isnt my first language so i apologise for any grammar mistakes! I dont own Arcane or the characters from the show.

It's funny, really, how silence hums when everything's dead. How the city still flickers like a bad dream you keep trying to wake from, but it won't let you. I used to think color could fix it. Make the ache pretty. It's all my fault. They look at me like they already know how it ends. And maybe they do. Maybe I do too. If I just stop thinking, if I just, one second, no more laughing, no more ghosts, no more her, no more- ...footsteps. No, that's not, that's not fair. No one comes here. No one ever- But the sound's real. Soft. Careful. To not scare the dark. I turn. It's him. Older maybe. Or maybe I just forgot how his eyes looked when they weren't angry. My breath catches, like the world forgot to spin. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say. All I can think is, why did you come for me? Or When Jinx hits rock bottom, Ekko pulls her back from the edge. In a world on the brink, can two broken souls find a way forward? 1# Timebomb

Ekko, a brilliant yet weary single father, is devoted to helping his six-year-old daughter, Isha, heal from the trauma of her abusive mother. Isha, now selectively mute, starts first grade and forms a surprising bond with her teacher, Powder-a spirited and unconventional educator with a deep passion for helping children feel seen and succeed in her classroom. Powder quickly notices Isha's struggles to adjust in the classroom and invites Ekko to a parent-teacher conference to discuss ways to support her. Though their connection is immediate, both are determined to keep things professional for Isha's sake. As Powder dedicates herself to helping Isha rebuild her confidence, Ekko grows increasingly drawn to her compassion and warmth. Meanwhile, Powder finds herself captivated by Ekko's quiet resilience and his unwavering devotion to his daughter. Despite their attempts to maintain boundaries, Ekko and Powder can't deny their growing feelings for each other. As Isha begins to reclaim her voice and take steps toward healing, the two must decide whether to keep their relationship hidden or take the risk of revealing it-knowing the delicate balance it could upset in Isha's world and the potential consequences for Powder's career. - This fic is a SLOW BURN!

All art featured does not belong to me!! Ekko and Powder were once the best of friends, but one day Powder, who is now known as Jinx, shunned out Ekko to work for the deranged man known as Silco. Until one day on the 'Bridge of Progress'... Disclaimer! In this story, Silco died before the bridge fight, which is why Ekko took her in so willingly

What if their fight on the bridge ended differently, and Ekko was the one who lost? Jinx is faced with a choice; Leave her childhood friend to bleed out and die, or save his life. - Greetings, dear reader. Are you looking for a different ending to Jinx and Ekko's story? Are you intrigued about what could've been, if only things went a different way for them? You have come to the right place! That's what this story is all about. But I take issue with most Jinx x Ekko fanfics/timebombs either rushing their complicated relationship from 0 (Enemies) to 10 (Best Friends/Lovers), often ignoring crucial aspects of both characters that define their trauma and willingness/unwillingness to reconcile with each other. Jinx is an incredibly complex character. Expect this story to explore that complexity to its fullest. I've been inspired to attempt the impossible; Showcase the most realistic possible path for these two to find their way back to each other. Arcane is a show of tragedy brought forth by circumstance. Unlike most fanfics, this one will focus on a realistic take of what their relationship could have looked like, if at one crucial moment, things went a different way. In order to do proper service to the complex characters of Arcane, THE STORY WILL CONTAIN SOME OF THE FOLLOWING MATURE THEMES: - Descriptive Violence - Selfharm, Att./Suicide - Depictions/Examination of Emotional Trauma - Depictions of Psychotic Behavior - Minor Swearing - Additional but similar concepts.
