Dead silence blanketed all of Piltover and Zaun after the attack on the council. Shock rattled every civilian's bones to the core. Terror became a popular feeling ever since almost every council member was murdered at the hands of Jinx. Panic erupted everywhere in Piltover. No where was safe, was it? All of Zaun prepared themselves for the worse. They knew, war was soon to come.
After Silco's death, Jinx vanished into the depths of Zaun. The shimmer operation continued under Doctor's lead. And it strengthened rapidly. Everyone was on their tippy toes because anything could happen at any moment. Jinx was wanted by Piltover. Though, imprisonment wasn't enough. They wanted execution. And the grieving remaining council members were going to give that to their people of Piltover.
During all of the uprising chaos, the Firelights laid low. Both of their enemies were at war. Jinx and the shimmer operation up against all of Piltover. Though when the time were to come, they were readying themselves to step in.
And even then, their leader Ekko, wanted to prevent it all from happening. He had some leeway on Jinx. If he could get to her, possibly get into her head, get Powder back, they could team up. All of Zaun against Piltover. But would he be able to? Would he be able to get his childhood love back? The one he got along with the most, the one he hung out with the most, the one who was his best friend. Despite all of this terror going on, Ekko made it a goal of his to find Powder, who seemed to be lost in the depths of Jinx's cold heart.

INCOMPLETE - MOMENTARILY ON HOLD Zaun has a way of shaping people- molding them out of grit, grime, and the unyielding will to survive. Shark was no exception. Born amidst the smog-choked streets and rusted spires of the undercity, she grew up with the scent of grease and danger in her lungs. A fighter, sharp as the broken glass that littered the ground, she earned her name with a ferocity that could cut through any who dared stand in her way. Once, Shark had stood by Vander's side. She had believed in his dream of peace, of making Zaun something more than just Piltover's shadow. His bar, The Last Drop, had been a refuge where she could momentarily forget the cold weight of survival. Vander treated her like family, and for a time, she believed in him like family too. But the line between loyalty and ambition is thin in a place like Zaun. When Silco came whispering promises of power, freedom, and a future where Zaun would no longer kneel, Shark listened. She saw in him a fire that Vander lacked; a willingness to burn everything and forge something new. It wasn't an easy choice, but in a city of hard choices, it felt inevitable. Shark tells herself she did what she had to. That Zaun's future is worth the blood on her hands. And maybe even the blood of the Firelights that keep standing in her way. Especially one of them.
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

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.

"𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝙳𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚑 𝚑𝚊𝚜 𝚊 𝙷𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝" They say. So why is Death so cruel? Why does Death take away the ones who want to live the most? Why does it feel like Death wants to take the ones who deserve to live the most? Why does Death let the undeserving live? These questions were always in Ekko's mind ever since he was young. He could never understand how death works, and as he grew he got even more confused. He was always the type to value life, he was just born like that. With a good heart. But what happens when Ekko meets Death herself? Maybe not the actual death, since it is a phenomenon, but the incarnation of Death, who is no older than him. What if he learns to love Death, not knowing the secrets that she holds? And what will he do when he learns just how bad of a match they are? And what will Death do for 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 a boy? 【Ｓｔａｒｔｅｄ】: 12/08/24 【Ｃｏｍｐｌｅｔｅｄ】: 01/06/25Complete

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
