•*Christmas Bomb*• ( Jinx x Ekko )
Jinx dragged Ekko to the Piltover Christmas market, determined to get him into the holiday spirit. Ekko grumbled and complained, but Jinx just laughed and pulled him along, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
“Make it quick Jinx, I don’t wanna get chased away by the enforcers..”
As they walked through the stalls, Jinx insisted on trying every single festive food, from sugary cookies to spicy cider. Ekko watched, amused, as she made a mess of herself, powdered sugar covering her nose and cheeks. Jinx grinned, “Look Ekko!! I’m Santaaaaa!!!”
Finally, they arrived at a small, quirky stall selling handmade gifts. Jinx's eyes landed on a tiny, explosive-looking ornament, and she squealed with delight. "Ekko, Ekko, look! A bomb-ornament! It's perfect for us!"
Ekko raised an eyebrow. "You can't be serious. That's just a recipe for disaster."
Jinx pouted, but Ekko could see the spark of mischief in her eyes. He sighed, and handed over the hexes to buy the ornament.
As they walked away, Jinx turned to Ekko and grinned. "Merry CHAOSMAS, Ekko!"
Ekko rolled his eyes, but a smirk appeared on his face, "You're something else, Jinx."
And then, without warning, the ornament exploded in a shower of glitter and coloured paper, covering them both in a mess of colourful confetti.
Jinx laughed, spinning around in circles, her eyes shining with joy. Ekko couldn't help but laugh too, pulling her into a warm, confetti filled hug.
“Hahaha!!”
"Merry Christmas, Jinx" he whispered as he held her, his voice full of affection.
Jinx grinned, her face coated in glitter, "Best. Christmas. Ever."
Thrill of the Job (Ekko x Jinx)
Chapter 2.
The job was a simple one, or so it seemed. They were hired to steal a valuable artifact from a Zaunite noble, Lazar, who had a reputation for being ruthless. Ekko and Jinx spent hours on a stakeout, looking for the best way in. They moved silently, their footsteps echoing off the walls. Jinx felt a thrill of excitement, her senses on high alert. This was what she loved about the job, the thrill of the unknown, the rush of adrenaline.
As they made their way deeper into the Lazar's mansion, they encountered their first obstacle. A group of guards, armed to the teeth and looking for a fight. Ekko took note of this, his eyes scanning the room for any sign of danger. Jinx followed close behind, her guns at the ready.
"You take those two, I'll take the rest."
Ekko scowled, "Hey! Why do you get more??"
She chuckled and elbowed Ekko in the ribs, "That's not the point, so quit wasting time.."
They moved swiftly, taking down the guards with ease. But as they reached the artifact, they were confronted by Lazar himself.
The noble was a tall, imposing figure, his eyes cold and calculating. He sneered at Ekko and Jinx, his voice dripping with contempt. "You think you can steal from me?" he spat. "I'll have you know, I have the best security in Zaun. You'll never leave this place alive." Jinx smiled, her eyes glinting with amusement. She loved a good challenge, and this noble was definitely providing one.
Ekko stepped forward, his eyes locked on the noble. "We'll see about that," he said, his voice low and deadly. The noble sneered, but Ekko just smiled. With a swift motion, he knocked down Lazar, enough for Jinx to grab the artifact. She glided across the room, dodging Lazar's attacks as she signaled to Ekko for help. They made their escape out into the street, Lazar's guards hot on their heels. But Ekko and Jinx were a well-oiled killing machine, working together seamlessly to evade their attacks.
They ran through the streets of Zaun, the guards closing in. Ekko and Jinx dodged and weaved, their footsteps pounding the pavement. But as they turned a corner, they were confronted by a group of hooded figures. They were big and burly, their eyes cruel. Jinx and Ekko exchanged a look. Something was off.
"Jinx watch out!!" Yelled Ekko as one of the hooded figures charged forward, almost knocking Jinx to her feet. Jinx couldn't shake the feeling that they were in over their heads. Somewhere during those 10 seconds Ekko got caught in the crossfire. She could see the strain in his eyes, the way his movements were slowing. And then, just as they thought they had the upper hand, one of the thugs landed a lucky blow. Ekko went down, and Jinx was left to fight alone.
Jinx's heart was racing as she fought to protect Ekko. She took down the cloaked figures one by one, her guns blazing. But as she looked down at Ekko, she felt a pang of fear. He was hurt, and she didn't know how badly, It could be… serious.
She knelt down beside him, her hands shaking as she felt for his pulse.
“No..”
It was weak, but it was there. Jinx let out a breath of relief, and then she looked up to see the guards approaching.
“Fuck.”
Chapter 2. Today?????
Jinx x Ekko (College AU!)
Compromise
(Ch. 4)
Chapter 4.
Ekko walked up to Jinx that night, holding a bunch of blue flowers. He was really nervous. (His shaky hands gave it away)
Jinx looked at the flowers and raised an eyebrow. "What's with the flowers, Ekko?" Ekko looked down and saw that the flowers were all wilted. "Aww, man. They got all…droopy," he said, feeling embarrassed. But Jinx just shrugged. "I don't care, they look nice. They're kinda cute," she said, trying to hide her smile. Ekko's face lit up, "really? You like them?" he asked, feeling happy.
Jinx rolled her eyes. "Shut up, Ekko. Of course I like them...you're kinda cute when you're all nervous and stuff," she said, looking away.
Ekko's heart skipped a beat. He took a step closer to Jinx, "I have something to tell you, Jinx," he said, his voice shaking.
Jinx looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "What is it, Ekko?" she asked, trying to sound tough.
Ekko took a deep breath. "I...I like you, Jinx. A lot," he said, his face turning red.
Jinx's face turned bright red too. "What?? That’s not funny Ekko…”
“Do you… really like me?? Like, genuinely?”
But then, she didn't say anything else. She just stood there, looking at Ekko with a mix of emotions on her face. Ekko's heart was racing, waiting for her to say something.
"Of course I do…" Ekko said, trying to break the silence, “Always have.”
But Jinx just looked away, her face still red. "I wasn’t expecting this, Ekko," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “I didn’t even put on something nice..”
Ekko's face fell, but he tried to stay positive. "O-oh,It’s okay, you look really nice. Take your time, Jinx," he said, trying to sound calm. Jinx nodded, still not looking at Ekko. "Yeah...Thanks, um…" she said. Ekko nodded, feeling a bit disappointed. But he didn't want to push Jinx, so he just stood there, waiting for her to say something. The silence between them was awkward, but Ekko didn't care. He was just happy to be near Jinx, even if she was being a bit weird. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Jinx turned back to Ekko. "Ekko?" she said, her voice soft.
"Yeah?" Ekko replied, his heart skipping a beat.
Jinx looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with emotion. "I feel the same way, Ekko," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Ekko's heart soared. He took a step closer to Jinx, his face lighting up with a smile. "Really?" he asked, trying to contain his excitement.
Jinx nodded, a small smile on her face. "Yeah...really," she said.
And then, in a movement that seemed to slow down time itself, Jinx leaned in and kissed Ekko. Ekko's heart melted, and he wrapped his arms around Jinx, kissing her back. The wilted flowers were forgotten, but neither of them cared enough. The only thing that mattered were their unconditional love for one another.

Yall are NOT ready for the next chapter 😭
Jinx x Ekko (College AU!)
Compromise
(Ch 2.)
Chapter 2.
Jinx woke up before Ekko the next morning and after realizing they’d spent the night in each other’s arms she scrambled to her feet. She attempted to brush off the feeling of warmth that lingered in her chest. She told herself it was just her imagination, that she didn't actually feel anything for Ekko. But as she went about her day, she couldn't shake the sensation that something had shifted between them.
She found herself glancing at Ekko, wondering what he was thinking, and feeling a pang of irritation when he caught her eye and smiled.
"Hey, Jinx! What's up?" Vi asked, as Jinx walked into the cafeteria, Vi was making breakfast, her hair tied up in a makeshift ponytail and a spatula in her hand.
"Not much, Vi," Jinx replied, trying to sound nonchalant. "Just getting some breakfast."
Vi raised an eyebrow. "You're not still mad at Ekko, are you? I thought you two were getting along fine…"
Jinx scowled. "I'm not mad at him, I just... don't know what to make of him, okay?"
Vi chuckled and smirked, "Well, Ekko's a bit silly, but he's all right once you get to know him. And he's definitely got a thing for you, Jinx."
Jinx’s face went red, “Shut up Vi! No he does not. I can’t believe you said that out loud, gosh.”
•*•*•*~*•*•*•
Vi walked away into the kitchenette to put away the ingredients, “C’mon, we’re sisters, I have every right. You know, Jinx, it’s doesn’t hurt to try.”
“Try what?”
Jinx rolled her eyes as Vi trotted back to her side, “starting the fire.”
Jinx looked at her with disbelief, “What are you saying? You sound like one of those cringy characters in the shows Caitlyn likes to watch..ugh.”
Vi just winked and handed Jinx her breakfast, “I’ll chat it up with the boy saviour after my lunch duty, okay?”
Jinx stuck her tongue out. “No need.”
A/N: next chapter is gonna be juicy.
Jinx x Ekko (College AU!)
Compromise
(Ch. 1.)
Chapter 1.
In the dimly lit dorm room, Jinx flopped onto her bed, surrounded by piles of dirty laundry and empty energy drink cans. Her grades had just been posted, and she was less than thrilled. A big, fat 'F' stared back at her from the screen of her laptop, mocking her. Except it was not an F, it was a C+; but at this point they’re equals. She let out a loud sigh and tossed her phone onto the bed, where it landed with a soft thud. Ekko, her roommate and fellow student, poked his head into the room. "Hey, Jinx, what's wrong?" he asked, his eyes scanning the messy space.
Jinx groaned and buried her face in her pillow, “I mayyyy or may not have failed my psychology class. Again."
Ekko chuckled and sat down beside her. "Well, you can't exactly blame yourself., You did spend most of the semester pulling pranks on Caitlyn."
Jinx lifted her head, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Hey, that's not the point, The point is I'm a freaking genius and I shouldn't be failing anything."
Ekko raised an eyebrow. "A genius? I mean, love the confidence but from where I'm standing, it looks like you're more of a..creative problem solver…”
Jinx shot him a sarcastic grin, but Ekko just laughed and ruffled her hair. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get 'em next time. Now, want to come with me to the cafe and grab some dinner?"
“Fine, but you’re paying.”
As they walked to the cafeteria, they ran into Vi, who was sitting at a table, downing a cup of coffee. "Hey, guys! What's up?"
Jinx plopped down beside her, still looking sulky, “I failed my psych class. Ekko's being annoyingly cheerful about it."
“She got a C+, it’s not that serious,” Ekko chimed in. Vi snorted, “Well, someone's got to balance out your negativity, Jinx. Besides, it's not the end of the world. You can always retake the class..or just bribe the professor with one of your infamous pranks."
Jinx perked up at the suggestion, but Ekko shot her down. "No way, Jinx, you're not bribing anyone. You're going to study hard and pass that class the honest way."
Jinx pouted, but eventually, the three of them got into a lively discussion about everything from their favorite video games to their plans for the upcoming summer break, which was another 5 months around the corner, but hey, who’s counting?
As the night wore on, Jinx found herself stealing glances at Ekko, who was laughing and joking with Vi. She couldn't help but notice the way his eyes crinkled at the corners, or the way his hair curled slightly at the nape of his neck. As they left the cafeteria, Ekko turned to Jinx and said, "Hey, I want to show you something that might help you with your schoolwork."
Jinx raised an eyebrow, intrigued
“What is it??”
Ekko grinned. "It's a game, but not just any game. It's an educational game that can actually help you with your psychology class."
Jinx snorted, "A game? You really think a game is going to help me pass my class?"
Ekko chuckled. "Hear me out, hear me out, this game is actually really helpful, and it's fun too. It's all about interactive simulations and puzzles that teach you about different psychological concepts."
Jinx shrugged, but her curiosity was piqued. "Okay, fine. Show me."
*•*•*•*•*•*•*
They walked back to their dorm room, the tension between them still palpable. As they entered the room, Ekko closed the door behind them and booted up his laptop.
"Okay, so this game is called 'Mind Loop'," he explained, opening up the game on his laptop. "It's all about building and navigating different mental landscapes, and it teaches you about different psychological theories and concepts."
Jinx watched, fascinated, as Ekko showed her the game. She was surprised by how engaging and interactive it was, and she found herself actually enjoying it. As they played, Ekko sat next to her on the floor, their shoulders touching. Jinx felt a flutter in her chest, but she tried to ignore it, focusing on the game instead. And as the night wore on, they got more and more into the game, competing with each other to see who could solve the puzzles faster. But as the hours passed, Jinx started to feel her eyelids getting heavy.
Ekko noticed and smiled. "Hey, you're getting tired. Why don't we take a break?"
Jinx nodded, and Ekko closed the laptop. They sat there in silence for a moment, the only sound the hum of the computer.
Then, without thinking, Ekko reached out and wrapped his arms around Jinx, pulling her into a hug. Jinx felt a rush of emotions, but she didn't pull away. Instead, she hugged him back, feeling a sense of comfort and security that she hadn't felt in a long time.
As they hugged, Jinx felt her eyes getting heavier and heavier. She rested her head on Ekko's shoulder, feeling his warmth and his heartbeat. And before she knew it, she was falling asleep, Ekko's arms still wrapped around her. She felt him relax, his body sinking into the floor as he fell asleep too.
Jinx x Ekko
A Rose’s Thorns
(Ch. 3) (MDNI)
Chapter 3.
Ekko's hands grasped for Powder's chest as he pushed into her with all his power. Powder's eyes flashed up to meet his, a spark of pleasure igniting within them as she arched her back, her body vibrating with desire.
"Harder, boy saviour.." she whispered, her voice husky with need, her hands grasping for Ekko's hips as she pulled him deeper into her. "I want to feel you everywhere baby..”
Ekko's response was primal, his body melting into hers as he felt himself being consumed by the strong heat that burned between them. He rammed into her, his hips pounding against her ass as he claimed her with every thrust. Powder's limbs stayed entwined with Ekko's as she met him stroke for stroke. Her mouth was wide open, her lips parted as she felt herself being driven to the edge of pleasure.
*•.•*•~*~•*•.•*
"Fuck me, Ekko..”, she whispered, her voice a desperate plea, her eyes locked onto Ekko's with a fierce intensity. "Fuck me like you mean it and then maybe I’ll fuck your desperate little body...”
Ekko's response was a savage thrust, his body driving into hers with a power that left them both breathless. Powder's eyes went wide, her body arching beneath Ekko's as she felt herself being taken into a realm of pure pleasure.
As they moved together, their bodies slick with sweat, their hearts pounding, Ekko felt himself losing all control. He was driven solely by his desire for Powder, and he knew that he would stop at nothing to claim her. And even then, something deep down craved to be dominated by the woman in front of him.
As they came closer to their mutual relief, Ekko's body surged into Powder's, his hips driving into hers with a final, thrust. Powder's eyes flashed up to meet his, a spark of pleasure igniting within them as she felt herself being lifted out of her mind and into a realm of pure ecstasy. And as they came, their bodies trembling with pleasure, their hearts pounding in unison, Ekko knew that he had claimed Powder, body and soul and bones. He had taken her to the edge of ecstasy and pushed her over, and he knew that she would never be the same again. But as they lay there, their bodies entwined, their hearts still pounding with desire, Ekko saw a bratty sparkle in Powder's, with that he knew that the battle for dominance was far from over andthat the war between them was only just beginning.
A/N:
There’s only one chapter left guys 😌
Jinx x Ekko
A Rose’s Thorns
(Ch. 1)
Chapter 1.
The air between them was electric, crackling with every movement, every glance. Ekko’s heart pounded in his chest, but it wasn’t from fear…no, not fear. It was the rush, the wild thrill of being so close to someone who could tear down every wall he’d built around himself. Powder’s hands were still on him, gripping his shirt like she was holding on for dear life, but there was something more to it. Her fingers dug into the fabric, as if trying to anchor herself in a world where she constantly felt like she was losing control. The kiss was a war between them, her hunger against his resistance, each of them trying to dominate the other. Ekko could feel the heat radiating from her, the rapid beat of her pulse under his fingertips. She was always this unpredictable, always pushing him to the edge of what he thought was possible. But this time, it wasn’t just the chaos that had always drawn him to her. It was the power. The way she commanded every second of their interaction, making it clear that she wasn’t just in charge, but that she would always make sure to get her way.
As the kiss broke for a moment, both of them gasped for air. Powder’s lips were swollen, flushed, and there was a dangerous gleam in her eyes. She didn’t look at Ekko like he was a partner, or even a rival, she looked at him like a toy, something to bend to her will. But there was also something raw in her expression, a need to be seen that made Ekko’s chest tighten.She wasn’t just the mad, explosive Jinx anymore. She was the Powder he’d always dreamt about before everything went to shit.
*•.•*•~~~~~•*•.•*
Ekko’s hands found her hips, pulling her closer, feeling the warmth of her skin through the fabric of her clothes. He could smell the faint scent of gunpowder and something more, something uniquely Jinx. His mind raced, conflicted. Part of him wanted to pull back, to remind her; both of them, that they were not like this. This wasn’t real, or at least not real in his world. But the other part? The part that had always been drawn to her chaos, her unpredictability? It was already too far gone. Wayyyyy too far gone.
Fuck.
She wasn’t waiting. She didn’t give him a chance to speak, her hands sliding down his body, teasing but not quite giving in. With a devilish smirk, powder pulled away just enough to look at him, studying his expression like she could read his every thought.
“You’re holding back,” she said cutely…

TimeBomb WIP
Rendering getting good that imma get scoliosis after this 😅
My reaction when people complain about timebomb having the spotlight instead of Caitvi who had more attention in both the game and show
(Coming from both a timebomb and Caitvi shipper)
Jinx: I just ended a four year relationship.
Ekko: Oh, I’m sorry. Are you okay?
Jinx: Hm? Oh yeah, I’m fine. It wasn’t my relationship
*Vi and Caitlyn fight from across the room*
I didn’t see anyone else do this, but I have many thoughts about an Arcane Fate AU.
The concept is that Hextech and the story of the two sisters took place roughly 100 years ago, and during that time, Zaun gained independence. Because of this, characters like Jinx and Vi are now historical/folk figures in Piltover and Zaun.
The Holy Grail Ritual is a fancy competition between Piltover families to show themselves off. They usually select representatives with sufficient magical abilities to compete, and they use Servants as familiars in battles. However, in this particular Holy Grail Ritual, something went wrong, and some Servants ended up being summoned by unintended individuals (people from Zaun).
The Master-Servant pairings and classes would look something like this
Piltover:
Viktor - Jayce - ????? Caster
Mel - Lest/Leblanc - Assassin/Pretender (what i mean is Leblanc is pretending to be Lest and that her class is assassin)
Caitlyn - Vi - Saber or Shielder i am not sure about this
Zaun:
Isha - Jinx - Archer
Ekko - Heimerdinger - Rider
Singed - Warwick - Berserker
and special guest:
Ambessa - Arcane Herald - claiming to be saviour those who are more familiar with the fate series could probably guess his true class
For the wonderfully talented people online, can I request an edit of Arcane characters in general with the song For Good, from Wicked, please?

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN THINKING!
Had a conversation with someone who said that "Ekko was in love with Powder, not Jinx. Jinx is not capable of being in a relationship" and I absolutely think otherwise. It's not like Powder and Jinx are two different entities, they are the same person with two different experiences. The Alternate Timeline only shows us how things could have been in a kinder world, but Ekko knows that there is something worth saving, because Jinx is not only her mistakes (everyone is fucked up in this series) and OBVIOUSLY SHE'S NOT JUST HER MENTAL ILLNESS. Jinx still deserves love from her sister, from Isha, from Ekko. This season shows us that, no matter how broken she is, she loves and she loves deeply.
In the end, Timebomb is a tragic love story in Arcane, it's a "what could have been", but the possibility was there. It's just that the world is not kind enough for them to have a happy ending. And I don't think that the only way this would have worked out was with Powder instead of Jinx, because Jinx showed us she was capable of improving, loving and caring for others.
I'm a bleeding heart for characters like Jinx, I know.
Sorry if it doesn't make sense, English is not my first language and I'm also writing this at 1.30 am.
I would be happy to hear other people's opinions on this.
As somebody who has struggled with mental health all of their life and still does, Jinx's romance with Ekko means the world to me.
I'm sick and tired of people considering mentally ill people just "not interested in love" or, on the other side, "not healthy enough to be loved". Which is utterly stupid. Ekko falling for Powder but clearly showing signs of wanting to learn more about Jinx and on his way to love her too, realizing that her damaged past and issues do change her but she's still his girl. It's brilliant writing.
He can't be a savior to her, because there's nothing to save. There's nothing to fix. The whole message Jayce gives with "there's beauty in imperfections" goes hand in hand with Powder's "sometimes taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind". Ekko goes from wanting to save her to wanting to see more of her and leaving Powder behind to know about Jinx. With Ekko loving Jinx nevertheless it shows that mentally ill people can be loved. And with Powder reciprocating and Jinx making amends with Ekko (with the romantic context behind already seen) it's breaking the whole stereotype of her being this "insane maniac with no remorse and unable to show love".
So I guess what I want to say is that their relationship would've worked in another universe, but I want to believe it could've worked in this one (with time), too.
I make fanart sometimes :) I really like how this turned out considering I don't draw backgrounds very often
Always a dance with you. 💙🩷
