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.

In the world of Runeterra, the city of Piltover and Zaun were on the brink of war. Piltover, a wealthy and technologically advanced city, looked down on the gritty and industrial city of Zaun. The two cities were once united, but now they were divided where Piltover saw Zaun as a backward and uncivilized place. As tensions rose between the two cities of Piltover and Zaun, a young man named Ozul found himself caught in the middle. Born and raised in Zaun, Ozul had learned to survive by staying in the shadows and using stealth to gain advantages over others. Will Ozul be able to stay hidden in the shadows long enough to come out on top? Or will he be forced to take a stand and risk everything to protect his home and loved ones? ----------------------------------------------- Arcane is owned by Christian Linke and Alex Yee.
