    Summary

    This isn't the time to question why the actors are portraying characters of themselves.
    And why they themselves don't even question it.
    Nope, not in this AU. Let's just pretend it makes sense. ╰(▔∀▔)╯

    This is the story of Jinx and Ekko, aspiring actors and inspiring creatives, falling in love behind the scenes of Arcane, the show.
    Found family awaits them on set, media vultures and fanatic fans sit front row, and someone else lurks from the shadows of their past.
    Will they be able to drop the script or will the pressures of the industry keep them on screen?

    Summary

    He hated her. Jinx. The demon that had possessed the body of his former best friend. Powder was gone, but Jinx was here to stay. He had held back his punches and avoided her in their fights for so long, too long, holding onto the last shred of hope that Powder was still in there. He desperately wanted to believe that his friend, the girl he had loved, still existed somewhere inside the monster. Today had proved him wrong and shattered the last of his foolish dreams. He had finally accepted that she was gone.

    After Eve's death, Ekko sets out to get revenge on Jinx and end the bloodshed for good, but things don't go according to plan...

    Summary

    Silco's... not a good parent. As much as he loves his daughter, he has a few flaws when it comes to her. But he can explain it all away, from slipping drugs into her tea to keep her his perfect little girl to keeping her safe away from the world. He can even explain giving her to the Enforcers in exchange for Zaun - after all, they've given their word that Jinx is not to be harmed.

    Ekko, meanwhile, went to the bridge upon overhearing the Enforcers' plans to capture Jinx on their radios - she's too far gone, and as the last person who knew Powder as well as the leader of the Firelights, it's his job to put her down.

    But after rescuing her instead upon realizing Jinx is still at least a little Powder, when he learns that 'Jinx' the persona isn't real but instead a defense mechanism, upon learning about the drugs in her system and the pain and fear inflicted on her, he insists she can be saved.

    And thus begins the rest of her life.

    (Featuring childhood-friends-to-enemies-to-friends-to-lovers Timebomb, a complicated relationship between Jinx and Silco, genius Firelight bioengineer Jinx/Powder, and Jinx proving she's stronger and better than anyone gives her credit for.)

    Summary

    “Why weren’t you together in the first place?”
    “Oh fuck’s sake.” he rolled his eyes, patience running thin “We're not together that often.”

    After a rather turbulent past, Jinx and Ekko find their way to each other again. Joined at the hip, except- there's this weird tension in the room whenever they're close, which is a bit of an issue, considering they're roommates. Now, it's going to take a lot more restraint to not slip up, because she doesn't think she's good enough, and he seems determined to prove her wrong and save her.
    Attention, fame- it seems to chase them, more people get involved, feelings grow and hearts are bound to break as their almost possessive, damn near unhealthy dynamic, is tested. She can't be good for him, that much is clear, so why the hell can't he seem to keep his hands away from her?

    And why the hell, is there a tiny kid sitting on his living room couch?

    Now, they're more intertwined than ever. Everywhere he turns, he's engulfed in blue- her essence, taunting, luring him in. The siren's call is irresistible. She's chaos and trouble, and fuck.. he craves the thrill.
