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
In the crappy movies Jinx insists on watching, he watches friends make the mistake they’re making. And he thinks it’s stupid, how it affects them, the way these movies portray. How the dramatic flares, and the angry confessions under angrier rains only make him laugh, hands slapping down his knees in disbelief, for their relationship was as unaffected as could be by the activities they engaged in.
It takes him a minute, maybe a few, but it has gotten to a point where he can no longer escape it. Ekko wanted Jinx. He looked for her in every person he met, desperate and nitpicky. They were never half of her.
The realization was hard, a quick blow to the gut, sharp and unforgiving, leaving a bruise he didn’t know how to tend to. A bruise that remained tender no matter how much time had passed. And every interaction with Jinx became a cruel finger, pushing down on his never-healing wound.
