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.

Ekko, a brilliant yet weary single father, is devoted to helping his six-year-old daughter, Isha, heal from the trauma of her abusive mother. Isha, now selectively mute, starts first grade and forms a surprising bond with her teacher, Powder-a spirited and unconventional educator with a deep passion for helping children feel seen and succeed in her classroom. Powder quickly notices Isha's struggles to adjust in the classroom and invites Ekko to a parent-teacher conference to discuss ways to support her. Though their connection is immediate, both are determined to keep things professional for Isha's sake. As Powder dedicates herself to helping Isha rebuild her confidence, Ekko grows increasingly drawn to her compassion and warmth. Meanwhile, Powder finds herself captivated by Ekko's quiet resilience and his unwavering devotion to his daughter. Despite their attempts to maintain boundaries, Ekko and Powder can't deny their growing feelings for each other. As Isha begins to reclaim her voice and take steps toward healing, the two must decide whether to keep their relationship hidden or take the risk of revealing it-knowing the delicate balance it could upset in Isha's world and the potential consequences for Powder's career. - This fic is a SLOW BURN!

Fight or Flight ( Vi  Arcane x OC fantasy novel) by MikiTikiTavi
27 parts Ongoing Mature
After a horrific accident involving the death of her entire family, Zephyra Ashcroft was taken away to Stillwater prison at the young age of fourteen. She didn't mean to set the house ablaze, she didn't even know how it happened. All she knew was that her brother played a cruel prank, and she was so angry that her fist exploded into fire. She would spend the next seven years of her life in an isolated concrete cell, unable to socialize, hone in her abilities, or even so much as read a book. One day, a strange man came to bail her out. He taught her about her powers, told her the history of her heritage, and finally, laid a heavy burden on her that would change her life forever. --- A fighting spirit with little to live for, Vi was bailed out of Stillwater Prison general population by an Enforcer named Caitlyn. She made a deal to absolve her sentence in the hope of finding Vi's long lost sister on a mission from her peers. With a new hope in her heart, Vi agreed and joined the Enforcer on the hunt for her baby sister. Soon, the pair would learn that there was a much bigger threat in Piltover than Jinx... but whose side were they on? --- The two women meet in a shared moment of vulnerability. Both Vi and Zephyra learn exactly how similar they really are to one another, creating an instant spark between them. Growing closer and closer, the pair begin to fall quickly for one another. Unfortunate circumstances test their trust, loyalty, and more as they battle through separate moral trials. They soon face bigger problems than the both of them combined. Can they each face their own demons while simultaneously remaining on the same team? --- Tragedy. Love. Regret. Misery. Passion. Forgiveness.

The Other Sister - Arcane

62 parts Complete Mature

What if Vi and Powder had a younger sister and she was the one that was taken by Silco after the explosion. Would things be different? Would Jinx still be Jinx? Would they be reunited? This story does follow somewhat of the story line of Arcane, there is some minor changes. The story is slower paced but I promise its worth it!
