“I— Uh… I—”
Say something, idiot!
“Yeah! I’m good! I’m fine! Great!”
She clamped her jaw shut and forced a polite smile. Her hands were shaking worse than before. Could Cecilia see? Her eyes were stinging. Was she holding eye contact enough? Was it too much? Was she blinking a normal amount? Her chest was getting tighter every second. Was she even actually breathing? Did she at least look like she was? Would Cecilia notice if she didn’t?
“Uh… huh…” Cecilia didn’t look convinced. That didn’t matter as long as she didn’t pry, though, right? Maybe she’d forget about it within the night. She didn’t have any reason to remember something like this. “I was also going to ask—" Gigi's frail sense of hope shattered into dread...

Summary
Jinx looked over at him, at the way he was crouching to gently pull a scrap of wire out of Isha’s fingers before she broke it—or herself. His voice was soft when he explained what it did, fingers brushing hers as he showed her the switch mechanism. The girl nodded seriously, enthralled.
Something twisted and loosened all at once in her chest.
“You really don’t do things halfway,” she said, a little too quiet, a little too honest.
Ekko glanced over at her and gave a crooked smile. “Not with you.”
------------
A chance meeting in a derelict attic.
Accidental at first. Then deliberate.
Neutral ground — until it isn’t.OR
Sometime shortly before season 1 episode 4, Jinx and Ekko start meeting up in a ruined attic. On opposite sides of a war, their meetings are fragile and tense, but something keeps pulling them back — to the dust, the silence, the quiet space between past and future, where nothing is said and everything matters.
[A very long slow burn spanning season 1 and season 2]

Summary
“How do you do it? Control it, make it do whatcha want, stop it from taking over you and control you, keep it from going all…bleh.”
“Bleh?”
“You know what I mean.”
He snickered, shaking his head, but the smile slipped from his lips as they settled into a neutral line. He leaned on his cane to look up at the sky.
“I don’t. I mean, not really. People think it’s this majestic, all knowing force, but it’s a lot more like a child, always watching, always learning. When it connects with us, it tunes into every fiber of our being. It doesn’t know anything at first, we shape it with our every thought, our every use, every action. We’re its compass, moral or otherwise. You know what they say, what goes around comes around, that’s very literal here. I just…learned that a lot sooner than others do. They take from the world, so it learns to take. I give of myself, and only myself, so it gives in return…"
He glanced down at his hands, examining them carefully as they glowed faintly in the moonlight.
"...at least, that’s what I tell myself. That’s what I hope is the truth.”

The Heart of Zaun by 1ts_Br1tney_B1tch

Summary
Silco felt wrath, pride, and respect battle within him as he witnessed the small band of Firelights—only 5 members strong, and not much older than children judging by their size—decimate his men and destroy yet another shipment of shimmer. Thousands of gold cogs wasted, money that would have been used to build his empire until it could stand against Piltover's council, and yet as he watched the green streaks through the sky, he couldn't help but think these Firelights were Zaunite to their core. These young rebels embodied the spirit of Zaun almost as much as his own daughter, Jinx.
He glanced down at her now, only to pause at the still expression on her face. Her gaze tracked one of the masked figures unerringly—the leader, if Silco was reading their dynamics right—eyes just a bit too wide, and her fingers twitched by her side. He'd seen her get like this before, when she was confronted with her past.
She knows him.
An idea begins to take shape in Silco's mind.
Or: Silco wants to recruit the Firelights. Too bad they hate his guts.

Summary
The Firelights were more than just a gang of rough-and-tumble youths flying down Zaun's alleyways and Piltover's skies. They were an ideal. If any life could endure in the polluted mess that is the undercity, then every life could endure. If anything could grow out of the cracks in the rusted metal and broken concrete, then the rest of them could break through that layer, too.
This was what Ekko lived by. This was what Ekko was willing to die by.
But when he finds himself at the wrong place, at the wrong time, his ideals are put to the test. Anyone could grow out of the broken, jagged mess of shattered glass and dead bodies. He truly believed it.
But could she?
Could Jinx?
If she could do it, so could anyone.
He had to believe.

Summary
“Jinx?” he seemed horrified at the state of her.
The tears all rushed back, as she threw herself onto him- hanging by his shoulder with one of her arms and the other, gripping onto the clothes around his waist “Save her!”
Surprised at the sudden contact, the desperation in her voice, and the fact that he had no context as to what had just happened, he wasn’t sure what to do- so for a second, she clung onto him, shoulders shaking as she cried.
“Who?” he questioned, looking around for an answer.
There were several of them, with bodies laying on the floor left and right.
“Isha!” she cried out.
For once.. she was the one who needed saving. Where S2, E6 left off.

Do You Think That Now’s the Time (You Should Let Go) by SuspenDisbelief

Summary
Once, for a brief period of time, Ekko had a home and a family. Still luckier than some in the lanes of Zaun, those good days came to an end, and ever since he has been working tirelessly as a leader at the Firelights Community Centre. Between two jobs, online courses, and always taking on more and more and more and more, Ekko kept himself going for everyone other than himself... until a quiet little girl with a bad blue dye job started showing up to one of his after-school clubs and Ekko began to remember the difference between living and just surviving.
:#
"Isha swung her bag over her shoulder and ran to the door. As she was about to turn down the hall, the kid paused and turned back to Ekko with a smile, raising her palm to her forehead. With a wiggle of her fingers, she skipped out of sight.
Suddenly it was like he was ten years old, standing in the middle of Benzo’s shop watching another blue haired girl turn the corner. He remembered how the rest of the day would be a little less bright after she left, everything less of a game and more of a chore. She would look back at him after Vi swung by to pick her up, raise her palm and…
He shook himself out of the vivid memory."
