"shipping" doesn't feel like the right term anymore. like im not looking at these two characters and thinking "outside of the canon they would make a good couple." or "i hope the author writes them to be together" shipping is shallow. shipping is taking two characters who have a potential, but dont really live up to it. shipping is just making shit up. that's jelsa. that’s shounen boys and their “love interests.” that's the entire disney princess catalogue pre-ariel. what im doing is im looking at WHAT THEY ALREADY ARE and thinking "woah. okay. incredible dynamic there. im gonna hyperfixate on it until i shrivel up and die" and if it happens their already existing dynamic has heavily romantic implications, then that has NOTHING to do with me and EVERYTHING to do with the canon🤷♀️
I love this show so much, I’m glad we got a good final!

She still had his blood on her hands.
She…
Still had his blood….
On her. Cooling. Sticky. Dripping…
…down her face.
He isn’t moving anymore. Limp. He isn’t moving. He…he isn’t breathing.
She’d learned that long ago. People had to breathe. Human’s need air in their lungs. She scrambles to her bruised knees. He’d bruised them when he pushed her out of the way. He’d shoved her. “YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE!” she screamed at him. Leaning over him. His eyes were open. Staring into the void. “You pushed me asshole. You don’t push ladies!”
Hot droplets leaking from her fierce violet eyes lands on him. Maybe they’d warm him up. Like he’d do with her. Wrap her in warm hugs. She’d never told him he gives good hugs. She’d shrug them off. That’s what she was supposed to do. Never let them get close.
She was a Jinx after all.
“C’mon. You gotta get up. They’re gonna find us.” She whispers. “Ekko. C’mon. You gotta get up!”
They were walking home. He’d taken her for ice cream.
All she had asked was “what did it taste like?”
She forgot to warn him. She put in new traps. She’d had dreams. Bad dreams. Nightmares. They followed her. The eyes. They. she had…to. She had to put the traps in. Nobody could…find them. They were precious. He.
He is precious. Worth protecting.
He stayed with her. It’s dangerous with her. HE HAD TO BE PROTECTED!!!
He took one step off the beaten path. One step. boom.
It was a small pop. Barely a marble hitting the ground. But….now Ekko….
She could fix it. She…she can fix him. Stitch him back together. Make him one piece again. She’d tell him she loved his hugs. She…there’s still time.
“BLINK IF YOU CAN HEAR ME!” She screams. She pounds her fists against his chest, but it’s caving in. She kisses him. His lips are cold. Breathes into him.
Nothing. Stillness. Silence.
If he didn’t push her out of the way. If she’d told him. If she was a second faster. Her ears are ringing.
Silence.
Not….not even…an..echo…
Not
Not even. An. But his hugs… Not. Even. An. Ekko.
“I love you.” She says for the first time. “Come home.” she says for the last.

He lit up the city for her, going so far as to cross wires into underground power supplies he absolutely shouldn’t have access to.
He painted on walls. Symbols highlighted by the transient stars. Arrows guiding her home. He wanted her to find her way back. Notes scattered like campaign leaflets that flooded the streets. Everywhere people walked, it was like a blanket of snow covering the ground. They needed to be reminded. Of the sacrifice. Who died so they could live. Who fought demons so they could continue to wake up another day.
He wrote her diary entries about his days. All the conversations he was going to have with her. All the welcome homes. She was going to know how needed she was. He kept her home clean. Every tool was organized. Every button dusted. He searched every nook, cranny and crevice for her. Foreign lands. On the home front. Up in the shiny world with the snobby people. He looked.
Ekko would illuminate the world searching for his Jinx.
He was gonna make damn sure, she will never be forgotten.

They didn't add any deleted scenes but man, this shit was still painful.
I NEED EKKO FROM SEASON TWO EPISODE SEVEN TO MEET JINX FROM THE ORIGINAL UNIVERSE!!!!!!
So…. I’m gonna make it
~~~
Ekko rubs his eyes as he recovers from the fall onto his ass. The explosion that Powder created while making the machine. The machine what he still has no idea what it is or how it does it. Or where she got the blueprints to make it.
He gets up getting his standing.
“Pow what did you do?” He asks as he looks up at the blue headed girl.
Upon further examination of his blue headed girlfriend he notices that she is wearing a crop top showing her midriff also allowing him to see more cloud tattoos along her side than what was originally there. Her hair put into two braids. Two braids that are extremely longer than two seconds ago.
He reaches towards her. Towards her side to graze the ‘new’ tattoos. Only to get stoped by her hand.
“It’s jinx, boy savior. I thought we finally got that over with.” She said
“Powder. Jinx. Whatever. What happened?” Ekko says softly using his other hand to reach out to her face. As he makes contact he cups her face. He breaks free from her grasp to cup her face with both hands.
Her eyes soften at him slightly.
“There’s my girlfriend.” Ekko says with a kiss to her temple.
This surprises the blue haired girl in his hold.
“I know we aren’t dating technically and you hate labels and shit. But you’re still my girlfriend.” Ekko says calmly
She huff out of her nose slightly. He looks down at her. More than he had to before he now realizes. He takes in the lack of smile lines.
“What happened to your smile lines? Where did my little lady go?” He asks softly
“She’s gone Ekko.” She replies solemnly
“She’ll come back. I still see her. I still see a glimpse of my little lady.” He says with a smile kissing her eyebrow cresses.
“You aren’t my Ekko. Are you?” She asks disappointedly
“No I’m not.” Picks her chin up. “Don’t be sad pow pow. Please don’t be sad.”
“My Ekko would never be this soft with me. I think he’s scared of me.” She says trying to pull away
“I could never.” He say holding her closer
~~~
Idk what I’m doing so…. Yeah :)
Jinx is blabbering about something. Something that neither Ekko or Vi can understand her while she’s underneath the car to fix it up.
“I need you to speak up PowPow!” Yells Vi. Isha covers her ears even though she has her headphones on. Ekko snorts out a response at Isha’s antics.
“Isha honey… you know you can barely hear her.” Ekko says. Isha just blows a raspberry at him.
“You two hurry up and get me the wrench!” Jinx yells exasperated while pushing herself out of from under the car. “I need to get this car up and running fast.”
“We couldn’t understand you PowPow.” Vi says walking to her
“Boy Savior, be a savior and SAVE ME!” Jinx yells as she gets tackled by Vi. Vi lays comfortably on top of her.
Isha giggles happily at their antics. Ekko walks over to them. Laying his body on them both. Jinx yells in frustration.
“Isha. Come help me!” Jinx asks borderline pleading. Isha nod frantically as she runs to pull Ekko off of them. In response Ekko lays all his body weight down.
~A few minutes of struggle later~
Isha kicks both Ekko and Vi and pouts on the floor. Ekko gets off of Vi to pick up Isha. “How about we get some ice cream while Vi helps your mom out.”
Isha lights up and nods eagerly.
“TRAITORS!” Jinx yells out as Ekko leaves with Isha in hand.
Jinx holds a baby in her arms. Rocking her side to side. She kisses temple of the baby. She is exhausted. Trying to calm to newly born baby.
Ekko knocks on the door then entering the room. Making the knock just a curtirse not a question. Isha follows him from behind.
“Isha, honey. Meet your little sister.” Jinx says softly after finally calming the baby in her swaddle.
Isha looks at Ekko. Ekko nods and picks her up and sits her carefully next to Jinx. She peaks over at the baby in her mama’s arms. Looking up at her mama then the baby.
“What’s her name mama?” Isha asks while Jinx looks at Ekko.
“I named the first one boy savior. Your turn.” Jinx says with a smile.
“Ivy. Yeah, Ivy. Beautiful just like the hanging ivy in our yard.” Ekko says softly while kissing the baby’s forehead. Getting a wiggle from Ivy.
“Ivy.. four in Roman numerals. Vi backwards. Perfect.” Jinx says while holding Ivy closer. Isha lays next to Jinx. Ekko moves around to sit on Jinx’s other side. He holds his world in his arms. Pulling jinx closer to him as she has tears in her eyes. He pulls Isha closer. Close enough to kiss the top of her head. Taking Ivy from Jinx so he can cradle her softly.
(You can thank a tiktok for this idea)
Fire blazes in the pit. Isha is giggling around the campfire. Running around to grab marshmallows from everyone’s bag. The only bags that have been kept untouched were Jinx’s (Mama!) bag meaning the bag that she took from Ekko (Papa!) and Silco (Granpa!).
Silco picks up and laughing Isha as she stuffed a few marshmallows into her mouth. “Those aren’t from your mama’s bag huh?” Silco says patting Isha’s head.
Isha shakes her head as she tries to finish the marshmallows in her mouth.
“Isha?” Jinx calls out after the kid.
Silco then notices the bag that used to my Jinx’s bag of marshmallows. Now filled to the brim with more. As he looks around the campfire he notices that every bag of marshmallows is less filled than before. Especially Viktor’s bag. It was once filled with marshmallows but is now empty. He was eating Jayce’s marshmallows as pay back for dragging him along to the campfire with everyone.
“Go to your mama.” Silco says as he lets Isha down to run to Jinx who is laying her head on Ekko’s shoulder. She runs away smiling and waving at him. Once she has reached her parents she nestles between them happily munching on marshmallows.
Jinx hold her close into a hug. She lets go slightly to tug Ekko’s arm to wrap more around her. Once Jinx is comfortable with the tightness of his arm around her she goes back to holding Isha close.
Isha runs around giggling as her dog that she has bestowed the name of doggy boo-boo. Ekko and Jinx have been working on her speech. Ever since Isha went to them expressing that she wanted to speak the way they do. She may speak like a toddler at the age of 10 but, it doesn’t seem to bother either Ekko or Jinx. Jinx finds it adorable especially when the 10 year old just blew something up and rushes to her to tell her about it.
Doggy boo-boo has successfully managed to tackle a giggling Isha. Ekko is not far behind them. Ensuing that neither don’t get majorly hurt.
“Down prince.” Ekko says sternly. Getting a pout and grumble from Isha.
“No! Doggy boo-boo!” Isha exasperated as she clutches the dog in a death grip. “Papa! Name doggy boo-boo!”
“Sorry princess.” Ekko says picking up Isha my her sides. He sits her on his hip and walks over to the sofa. Isha lays her head on him while wrapping herself around him. “But your mama likes prince more than doggy boo-boo.”
Isha gasps at the response. Picking her head up to look at him.
“I know the horror!” Ekko smiles at the kids expression. Resulting in him pressing a soft kiss to her temple.
“Slander!” Jinx yells across the archway from the kitchen.
“Mama!” Isha yells while squirming out of Ekko’s hold. Ekko put her down to run towards Jinx.
“Your papa is a dirty liar. I love the name doggy boo-boo, princess.” Jinx says picking up Isha to put a kiss on her temple.
Ekko walks to the two. Wrapping his arms around Jinx’s waist to pull her close. Laughing into her neck.
Jinx find herself surrounded by warmth. Warmth like none other that she has experienced before. As she slowly opens her eyes something white catches her eyes. Specially white hair. Knowing that her scribbles are never Ekko she isn’t filled with the fear that comes with her hallucinations. She is instead comforted that Ekko is here. With her.
As she lets her eyes drift away from the boy on top of her she looks around. Knowing that wherever they are is far too peaceful to be Zaun. Fearing that she may be dreaming, Jinx moves around Ekko to try and pinch herself. It doesn’t work though all things considered that Ekko moves around. Pinning her arms down.
As she struggles slightly to try and figure out if this is a dream. A thought hits her. Does she really want to know? Does she want to break this peaceful silence she has going? Or does she want to wake up back in Zaun? Against the little better judgement that she has left she stops trying to fight Ekko. After she stops fighting it Ekko lets up. Letting Jinx have free will of her arms.
She begins to hum to herself. Letting her fingers fiddle with his hair. She can hear a soft groan coming from him as she begins to massage his scalp. Just like he used to whenever he has braids in while they were kids. Jinx giggles softly to herself remembering how much Ekko would complain about his scalp hurting after someone put his hair into braids. He used to beg Jinx to massage his head to make it feel better.
Ekko slowly wakes up. He looks up at Jinx with a soft smile. A soft dopey smile is plastered on his face. “Good morning little lady.” Ekko says with a tinge of tease to it.
“Morning little man.” Jinx says poking his scalp while doing so.
Ekko pouts slightly before humming happily.
