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.

AFTER - Arcane season 2+ (Timebomb and others fanfic) by FoxLightnig

Season 2 actually destroyed me so I am writing what I thing should happen next. This will include what happened to Ekko, Jinx, Viktor, Jayce and Isha, and literally every character that I think deserves a happy ending. None of these characters, places or concepts belong to me.

A Maybank and A Cameron? It's almost like a modern Romeo and Juliet. It's forbidden for them to be together. Could be the end of the world. The stolen glances, the hidden feelings, the unspoken words, the secret meetings and the obvious hatred towards each other followed by constant conflicts and some hidden past that threatened them but there are always invisible strings tied and pulling them together no matter how hard the tides trying to pull and part them away from each other.

Arcane Season 3 With Ekko & Jinx - Act 1 by DreamMerchant447

Set after Arcane: Season 2, this story follows Ekko as he ventures to Kalstead to uncover Benzo's past after discovering an old photograph. However, his journey takes an unexpected turn when he uncovers signs that Jinx, presumed dead, is alive and hiding in the city. Meanwhile, Jinx, scarred by her past, finds a fragile sense of belonging among Kalstead's rebellious youth, rediscovering the idea of family and fleeting happiness. Both Ekko and Jinx become entangled in Kalstead's rebellion, a fight far more dangerous than either anticipated. As Ekko begins to see Powder in Jinx's fractured persona, their paths converge in a battle against mounting threats. But what begins as a rebellion against injustice soon spirals into a far more sinister conflict, forcing both to confront their pasts and decide what they truly stand for. In a world where peace seems elusive, this is a story of resilience, rediscovery, and the enduring hope for a better future. (Please vote if you like the story)

"Powder, or jinx? Yet it's still you, how could I ever not love you?" Ekko can't help himself, filling the empty void inside of him is selfish, but how he'd love his pow-pow so much it could hurt him, it's not anything of it. but just thinking about her makes him writhe he's obsessed and insane.. how can he Make his days without her? He wants to be glued to her until he's gone and dead.

All I Have Left by LeBenj777

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.
