"I learned from someone... Someone very special that, no matter what happened in the past, it's never too late to build something new. Someone worth building it for..." Is 4 seconds enough? Is the glow on her eyes hope? "There's no good version of me." Let me go... It's an inevitable cycle. Maybe death is like falling asleep. "It's always me. Whether I'm pulling the pin or not, everyone who gets close to me dies." So quiet... Everyone either died or left. There's nothing left to protect. Maybe I can lay down and rest... "I gave up on it. Gave up on you." I won't let you go again. Always the boy saviour... "There are no happy endings..." Or are there? What happened after Ekko stopped Jinx from ending her own life and before they got into the battle together? What did Ekko say that gave Jinx the will to live again? How did they start to trust each other again? Jinx wanted to break the cycle, the curse... But wasn't it already broken? Can Jinx believe that it's possible for her to become a better version of herself? That she still has salvation? Will she be able to see herself as the true hero Isha saw in her? The hero Ekko believed she could be?

"Then why don't you fuck this sweaty mess?" she said, her voice dripping with mischief, her grin turning wicked as she gave him a playful squeeze. Ekko's eyes snapped open, the teasing glint in them now replaced by something darker, more primal. He smirked down at her, his voice a low growl as he murmured, "Oh, don't worry, baby. I intend to."

Scarlett, notorious for her fierce and impulsive decisions, crosses paths with a familiar blue-haired girl with braids who captivates her attention. What is this strange, magnetic pull? Why is she so entranced by the girl? As they grow closer, their shared past looms ominously, threatening to shatter their peace. Can they confront their history and find a way to stay together? Will Jinx's doubts and distrust shake their nowfound bond?

Moving to the Lanes was suppose to be a fresh start for Ekko...making friends, working for Benzo. But after being bitten at a party, his world is turned on his head. ....with monsters with fangs that feed in the night... ...dreams of a mysterious, blue-hair girl... ...and more secrets than he can handle... Ekko questions if The Lanes are as safe as they appears.

Snake was taken in by Silco just before Jinx was. They grew up separated from each other. But one day, when Snake had been injured from a fight, Silco decides to get everyone together for an announcement that from now on, they will start working together. Jinx has always had a crush on Snake, yet been intimidated by them. They're tall and cool, that was all to get Jinx swept off of her feet. Snake uses they/he pronouns btw.

"Why weren't you together in the first place?" "Oh fuck's sake." he rolled his eyes, patience running thin "We're not together that often." After a rather turbulent past, Jinx and Ekko find their way to each other again. Joined at the hip, except- there's this weird tension in the room whenever they're close, which is a bit of an issue, considering they're roommates. Now, it's going to take a lot more restraint to not slip up, because she doesn't think she's good enough, and he seems determined to prove her wrong and save her. Attention, fame- it seems to chase them, more people get involved, feelings grow and hearts are bound to break as their almost possessive, damn near unhealthy dynamic, is tested. She can't be good for him, that much is clear, so why the hell can't he seem to keep his hands away from her? And why the hell, is there a tiny kid sitting on his living room couch? Now, they're more intertwined than ever. Everywhere he turns, he's engulfed in blue- her essence, taunting, luring him in. The siren's call is irresistible. She's chaos and trouble, and fuck.. he craves the thrill.

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. Feedback is welcome! Credits to Alexin on Pinterest for the cover art.

"Welcome to... the Firelights base!" Ekko announced, his voice filled with forced enthusiasm as he gave Jinx's shoulder a reassuring squeeze. The moment they stepped in, all movement stopped. Every Firelight froze, their eyes fixed on the unlikely duo. Ekko swallowed hard. He knew Jinx's past with the Firelights-knew the pain and loss she'd caused. The tension in the air was thick enough to cut. And then he saw it: his old right-hand man, Scar, staring back at him. But something was different-his hair. It was.. blue. Not just him. Ekko's gaze darted between the other Firelights. So many of them had the same distinct hair color. What happened while he was gone? Before he could wrap his mind around it, Scar charged toward him, crushing him in a hug that knocked the air out of his lungs. "EKKO, WHAT THE HELL! WHERE'VE YOU BEEN? WE THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!" Another Firelight approached, her demeanor soft, her gaze landing on Jinx. To Ekko's astonishment, she gently touched Jinx's shoulder and smiled. "I didn't know you brought company," she said warmly.

⚠️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.
