    Summary

    “What happened to your face?” Are her first words, voice scratchy and drained.

    He blinks, the previous melancholy in his eyes pushed back to accompany confusion as he stares at her, “What?”

    “Your face.” She repeats - for once, a girl of few words.

    He reaches a hand up to his eyebrow, wincing slightly when he makes contact with the cut there, shaking his head, “Just…the longest day of my life.”

     

    — there's a version of us somewhere that's survived.

    Summary

    It’d been a year and a half since the Incident. The Z-drive was still a pile of broken parts. Jayce and Heimerdinger were gone. Ekko couldn’t look at the color blue anymore without needing to find an empty room to hyperventilate in. As if that wasn’t enough, Vi and Caitlyn kept trying to therapize him. Which was downright embarrassing.

    God forbid he try to get a little closure. Of course, the second he does, the scruffy blue-haired source of all his misery lets herself in through the front door like she’d never even left in the first place.

    Huh, Jinx thought as Ekko passed out and slumped into her waiting arms. So this was what redemption felt like.

    Summary

    “I didn’t come back for Powder,” he said, quietly. His calm, gentle gaze met hers once again, and she couldn’t look away, “I didn’t come back to fix you, or change you.”

    Ekko took a steadying breath, closing his eyes for a moment to find the resolve to continue. Jinx felt herself holding her breath in anticipation for whatever warranted this kind of build-up.

    “I came back for you, Jinx.”

    ‘Oh.’

    Then Ekko continued, “The other timeline was like a dream. And you can’t live your life stuck in a dream. I wanted this. Something real. You.”

    Ekko’s hands had taken hers again, though the touch was light, leaving her with the opportunity to wrench them away if she wanted. It took her a moment to process his words.

    Taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind...

    WELL while taking the leap forward with Arcane Season 2 Act III, the writers sure left some VERY IMPORTANT Timebomb scenes behind. This fic is going over the scenes we missed out on starting immediately after Season 2 Episode 9's cold open with Jinx and Ekko.

    I will add more tags as the story progresses! There will be post-canon content after I finish the deleted scenes stuff!

    Summary

    "She had cut her braids. He hair fell loose on her shoulders, softening her features to an unbearable degree. Fate had a cruel sense of humor. More than ever, she looked like the girl he had left behind.
    Ekko stared, ready to rewind time again. He would continue to do so for as long as he needed. He would deal with the picture of her falling from the platform later, or better yet : forget it entirely. All that mattered now was her."

    With Noxus on its way to wage war against the sister cities, it's up to Jinx and Ekko to rally the Undercity together and get ready to join the fight. But there is so much to do, so little time. And yet... maybe, among the chaos of the oncoming storm, they'll find the time and will to pick up the pieces of what they once were. Maybe they can put them back together.
    Maybe they can build something new.
    Hope is a winged beast, and now is the time to learn how to fly.

    Or : what happened during the timeskip between Jinx's rescue at the beginning of episode 9, and her arrival on the battlefield? My guess is a whole lot.
