"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. Ao3 book link : https://archiveofourown.org/works/64616692/chapters/165974797

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.

After the fire, what if Jinx and Ekko stayed in touch and faced their trauma together instead of growing up alone? And what if, despite the brutality that drives them apart, they fell in love, and they kept finding their way back to each other? This is a romantic, angsty, violent AU set during the time skip and then it weaves into Act 2. There's lovers-to-enemies, enemies-to-lovers, and redemption. Also layered with lots of shenanigans and smutty, cuddly goodness. Preview: When Ekko feels her warmth against him, it's as if nothing else matters. Or at least that used to be the case. He tries to ignore that soon they will be on opposite enemy lines again. Soon, one of his friends will face the barrel of her gun, and he can't bear to see any more friends die. But damn it, he doesn't want to keep thinking about that. He grounds himself in the moment, trying to meet his lover in dreams more peaceful than their reality.

This is a timebomb story that takes place a few months after the end of Arcane season two(this is how I cope with the ending). I hope you'll enjoy it!^^

"You're still too slow." Her hand moves. Not for a gun. For the small, round object at her belt. Ekko's stomach drops. Three seconds. He realizes what it is. Two. Her thumb hooks the pin. One. Their eyes lock. And for just a moment- She doesn't look angry. She looks sorry. The grenade hits the ground between them. And Ekko makes a choice. -- ~Four Seconds Before~ Is an Arcane slow burn featuring the very popular ship TIMEBOMB. This fic includes a lot of angst, fluff, and a tad bit of spice~ Enjoy! -Mavis.

Amid tension, betrayal, and old wounds, they slowly rediscover the bond they thought was lost. As they navigate the chaos of Zaun and their own insecurities, their relationship shifts from enemies to something deeper, culminating in a journey of trust, redemption, and love against all odds.
