All I Have Left

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.
