    Summary

    He's on top of her. He remembers the last time he was on top of her. He tightens his larynx and tries to swallow the memory like bitter bile, to take it and throw it far away from here, far away from them, to keep the mold from spreading and rotting whatever thing is growing between them on this bed.

    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

    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.

    Summary

    Following the death of her family in an accident she caused, Jinx is alone, for the first time in her life. The loneliness was always the worst part- missing her sister even as she resents her abandonment, longing for Ekko even as she becomes something he hates, and the one person left to look out for her seems to be pushing her further into the darkness.

    After years of descending further into her life as Jinx and the loneliness that comes with it, after a night with her childhood best friend turned enemy, she finds that she'll never be alone again.

     

    A Three-Part Series focused on Jinx's coming of age during the timeskip, with the canon diverging with the birth of Isha. <3
