    Summary

    When they were younger, they would try and see who could jump higher, like fledglings testing their wings, and together—smiles shared as they rose higher and higher, laughter filling the air, fingers brushing midair—they felt as if they could fly.

    When they fell, they fell together, and it was all right, in the end.

    They’d get up, hand in hand, fix what was broken, and start again; they’d tinker and try to make metal into masterpiece, young dreamers, innovative without being bound by expectations.

    Things were so much simpler then.

    Summary

    Slowly, she turned to look at him. “They’re engaged.”

    “Huh,” Ekko muttered. “Didn’t take Vi as the married type.”

    “Me neither." Her voice was a mere lull. “But people…they change. They go.”

    Summary

    In the ash and rubble of the various fights around the undercity, there is one constant; a flash of blue hair popping up when you least expect it. The princess of Zaun, Silco’s most trusted, fighting without a cause. Without a purpose.

    The days float her by, not even the fights she picks with low level thugs are enough to calm the erratic voices in her mind anymore. It’s all just… too damn boring. Never enough to hold her attention for long. Thankfully there’s a nice change of pace, Jinx’s childhood friend keeps finding new ways to get under her skin.

    A huff escapes her mouth as Jinx blows her bangs aside and straightens her stance. At least bickering with the Firelight leader is anything but uninteresting.

    Or,
    What if Ekko and Jinx rekindled before Vi got out of prison

    Summary

    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

    Ekko hates her, the one who overtook the body of the girl he loved. The one who chose the monster over him. He hates her, he swears he does, Jinx killed Powder after all. But when he found her broken body near the burning council tower, he couldn’t just leave her there, even when she didn’t care if she lived or died.

    On the other side of the mirror, another version of him lives a peaceful life with her. She who never crossed the monster's path. She who never became Jinx.

    Summary

    She’s fifteen when it happens. Jinx has no one to blame but herself and her own curiosity, but in her defense, Sevika got drunk and just wouldn’t shut up about all the fun she got up to in Babette’s brothel. And in the Undercity, kids don’t stay kids for long. Jinx has grown up around this nonsense for years. So she bites the proverbial bullet and decides to see what all the fuss is about.

    “It was one time!” Jinx complains in sheer disbelief. “It wasn’t even that good!”

    Summary

    Ekko liked order, plans, precision, and perfect timing. A natural leader who had risen to become Piltover Academy’s newest student council president.

    Jinx was the exact opposite. She was chaos incarnate. She loved blowing things up just for fun, scribbling neon graffiti on lockers and doodling nonsense across chalkboards.

    And yet, whenever she wanted, she could outsmart everyone around her, usually with a smirk that drove Ekko crazy.

    Both of them were geniuses in their own way. But while Ekko worked hard to keep everything under control, Jinx seemed determined to mess it all up, his own life included.

    Summary

    It has been seven years after the Battle of Piltover. Ekko has been chosen to be Sevika's successor in the Council once she retires—despite their many differences, the opportunity to futurely represent Zaun being an honour. However, as things settle and the need to gather and survive is no longer his forethought, he becomes overwhelmed by all the hurt he cast away over the years to be able to lead. And he needs to take a step back, in order to take a leap forward.

    Or: Ekko goes on a trip. A chance meeting, the opportunity to reconnect, and to build something new follow.

    Summary

    Ekko found her in his parents' house.
    For a moment, all was still. He had just turned on the lights. Electricity was a miracle here knowing his parents barely ever came home and often forgot the bill, but he didn't feel quite so blessed at the sight of her curled up like a dead snail on the dusty old couch in the middle of the night.

    Summary

    Being married to Powder is often just as much of a full time job as running the Firelights. When you add in the fact that they have three triplet daughters that all take after her? It's a wonder Ekko stays sane at all.

    Started as a one-shot based on a prompt from the Ticking Timebomb discord server, and has now evolved into a multi-part side project.

    Summary

    Jinx remembers her sister; older, tougher. Her knuckles and teeth made of brass. She remembers her father, and his hands long and wide over hers, and Vander and his hands too, just as huge and just as encompassing. She remembers Mylo and Clagger, and their chatter; quiet and slow all throughout the night.

    She remembers her best friend, his teeth shining white in the low glow of an oil lamp in her room, her hands scrabbling over paper to steal a crayon and his hands reaching over too, and scratching back at hers.

    The cloying heat of the undercity, and the sound of her best friends laughter in her mind are coloured in green and bright, bright orange.

    Jinx remembers, because Powder can’t forget.

    Summary

    “So you know how you trust me?” she asks innocently, throwing an innocent braid over her innocent shoulder.
    “Unfortunately, yes.” Ekko narrows his eyes. “What are you thinking?”
    Jinx scoots closer to him and says matter-of-factly, “I need you to give me a hickey.”

    Jinx has a business proposition for Ekko. What are best friends for, right?

    Summary

    Powder steps over a puddle, glancing down at the shimmery reflection of herself. In her own face, she sees exactly how she feels; a scared girl, grown up faster than she was ever a child, still forever grieving a loss so overwhelming it has shaped the very essence of her being, driven her to strange lands chasing what might just be a fairytale, too good to be true, forever out of her reach.

    Then, her reflection glitches, and Powder flinches away from the puddle as bright violet eyes stare right back at her with a sorrow so deep it pierces right through her like a knife, only disappearing when she kicks at the water and shoves right past it. No time for reflections; she has family to find.

    Summary

    This world is a wasteland where nothing can grow;

    Jinx is done. Tired, apathetic and drained, she is ready for it all to be over, to drift into the eternal beyond.

    I used to have strength but I ran out of hope;

    Ekko is torn. Between the girl he knows, with gunpowder under her nails, a cruel smirk and vivid pink eyes, and the girl she could have been, with a choppy fringe, a mischievous smile, and eyes of cerulean blue.

    I know it’s my fault that I’m here all alone;

    Powder just wants to know her sister all grown up.

Pow finds herself tangled between the past she’s trying to outrun and the future she’s cautiously building. A future that might just include Ekko, if she’s brave enough to let him back in.

    He knows her, now, in ways no one ever has. He knows the things she’ll say, the things she’ll hide. The things only her body will tell him in a quiet room, when she drowns her sorrows in the feel of him.
