    Summary

    She let her arm flop out beside her, fingers brushing the edge of the mattress. “It’s loud,” she muttered. Not accusatory. Just a shade too tired. Honest. “In here.” She tapped the side of her temple with a knuckle. “Thought maybe if you kept looking, it’d drown it out.”

    There was a pause, too long, the room going quiet like the words had knocked something so loose inside him that he couldn’t make his lungs work. Ekko sat back a little in the chair, like he wasn’t sure whether to move closer or bolt.

    “Not really how that works,” he said finally. Quiet, but not unkind.

    “I know.” Her voice cracked just a little. She closed her eyes. “Still.”

    --------------------------

    She walks like a ghost and sleeps like someone who isn’t sure she wants to wake up.
    But with Ekko watching, it doesn’t feel so much like she’s disappearing.

    Summary

    Life can be really strange sometimes.
    One day you have everything, then nothing. You rebuild yourself from the void, gather the broken and the lost to your side and rise against this enemy who once shared your laughter, your trust, your heart.
    Until that Jinx stands before you and death, unguarded, unmasked. And you too. You see her as she once was, as she still is because she never ceased to be.
    Somehow, crazy as it seems, you touch it again ; happiness, love, wholeness and hope. You rediscover that childish smile, that spark in your eyes, that sense of home that exists only when her skin is against yours. And you lose it all, again.
    Not all perhaps—only her—yet, it feels as though you’ve lost everything. Life takes back what it had given to you, without mercy, with all its brutality, reminding you that happiness was never meant to last.
    Funny, isn’t it ? How time keeps moving forward while your own worlds stopped on that very day.

    But what’s funnier still—is that life never truly ends where you think it does.

    A story covering : The timeskip between Jinx & Ekko before war, the birth of Firelights, Ekko and his crew struggling to find their place in a new world, and much more.

    Summary

    “I hate you,” she says.

    “Don’t say things you don’t mean,” Ekko says. He has a shit eating grin, and god, why must he be so disarmingly handsome?

    “Fuck off,” she says, no bite in her voice. It’s easy for Ekko to grab her wrist and push the gun off his chest, he pulls her closer by her waist.

    “I missed you, Jinx,” he confesses into her hair.

    (or: Jinx and Ekko secretly reconnect while she still works for Silco, and a slip-up causes her to re-think the choices she's made up until now.)
