THE DREAMER | BOOK 2 Jinx x FEM!Reader
Who was lying? You didn't know anymore... Are dreams an altercation of reality, or are they the fruit of whatever fucked up delusions they shoved into your head? "Damnit!, it was a dream, nothing more, Y/n!"

The truth was never set free Or was it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BOOK 2 IN!!!. First few chaps are fluffy and sweet, but after some time, we will ease into angst, so this is gonna be pretty challenging to write.

Arcane Continued
(I don't know much League lore so bear with me!) Vi and Caitlyn finally have the chance at a good life with each other, but Caitlyn suspects something her mourning partner doesn't. After scanning the maps, it's perfectly plausible that Jinx, Vi's sister could have evaded death. If Jinx and Vi reunite, it could make Vi completely happy, but Caitlyn fears that Vi will die searching for Jinx. Mel has taken her mother's place. She never thought that her, the just, refined, former Councilor of Piltover, would run such a warlike place like Noxus. She thinks that maybe, if she tries hard enough, the people can possibly incorporate peace in their morals. Sevika thought that her little family would last, but she was horribly mistaken. Losing both Isha and Jinx, on top of the stress of being a Councilor, has taken its toll on her. She can't bear to find people she connects to in fear of losing them as well. Jinx is alive. Not well, but alive. She barely escaped the blast of her grenade with her shimmer-induced speed, dragging her heavily injured body through an air duct. Now, she's all alone again, inside of the tunnel systems. She doesn't know where to go, scrounging for scraps and barely making it through each day. Ekko's returned to the Firelights, but a change has occurred. He had started to mend his relationship with Jinx, and after the news of her death hit him, he stopped finding joy in things. The young Firelights playing, the sunlight streaming through the tree, his hoverboard, all things that used to put a smile on his face, just seem to remind him of Jinx. Jayce and Viktor are stranded in space. The blast from the Arcane destroyed their mortal forms, and now only their celestial bodies remain. They travel to different universes now, helping people when needed, or just talking about their memories together. The whole cult-exploding put a rift in their relationship, but they are mending and expanding it slowly.Complete

Shadows & Gunfire 2
Six years. That's how long it's been since Caitlyn Kiramman last saw her since the blood, the screaming, and the moment that shattered everything. Six years since Nine, the girl she loved, was ripped away... her life stolen by the very man who called himself her father. But death does not always keep its grip. Now, in the shadows, Nine wakes rebuilt, reborn, and changed in ways no one can understand. The chains that bound her are gone... or so she believes. Yet freedom has a price, and in the veins of the girl once called Nine, something darker flows something that could either save her... or consume her entirely. Caitlyn lives unaware, haunted by memories she can't let go of. Does she still grieve the dead? Or has she, after all these years, found the strength to move on? And if Nine stood before her now, would she even recognize the woman she's become? Their lives remain tethered by fate, their birthdays forever shared, their paths carved by a single truth they are children of purpose. Whether they walk toward reunion or ruin... only time will tell.Complete

"The Last Chance: After the End" Jinx thought she finally had it all-a daughter, a real love, and a family that was broken but hers. But peace never lasts in a world like hers. Ekko is trying to hold the pieces together, carrying secrets he can't reveal. Caitlyn's acting strange, and Jinx... starts to suspect that something's hiding beneath the calm. Something no one dares to say. Not even him. With Vi's ghost haunting the silence, a daughter who deserves the truth, and the fear of losing everything she's built, Jinx will have to choose between trusting... or blowing everything up.

Prison Break
The most wanted criminal in Piltover, the infamous Jinx, is finally captured, much thanks to the sheriff's partner, Vi. Unfortunately, it happened accidentally, and just as Vi had learned her sister was seriously ill, and was finally starting to get through to her. To make things even worse, she then learns from Caitlyn that her sister will almost certainly be sentenced to death. But Vi isn't ready to give up on her sister so easily, especially not because of some topside laws. Besides, it's just concrete walls keeping Jinx in, and... she doesn't call Vi Fat Hands for nothing... This book took me WAY longer to write than I thought it would. I published a preview book for it as the second Arcane work I put out, and four books later, here it is. Better late than never, I guess. I hope you enjoy it. If you want to read the preview book first, it's called, "Intruder (Vi + reader) ". Content Warning: Visceral depictions of mental breakdowns, PTSD flashbacks, physical violence.Complete
