My immediate thought upon seeing this scene:  ‘So pretty!  This is going to be on fire or something by the end of the series, isn’t it...’
...we’re probably going to cry over a tree because Jinx finds the hideout and torches it, aren’t we...

If you're still interested in requests (feel free to ignore, since you've got a lot of 'em!)
How would everyone's favorite tieflings react to their Tav *not* being at the tiefling party, because they've ended up spending the night keeping the tiefling kids entertained in Mol's hideout? Celebrating with them, having fun and goofing off with the kids (and making sure Mol isn't trying to exhtort who she can, by selling firewine around the camp by doing so)
Bonus points if s/o is a bard class~
(2) Asfgghkkkl I was the ask for the s/o/Tav who spent the tiefling party just playing with the kids - I (maybe) forgot to mention that I had the idea of them doing it secretly, or like, getting stuck escorting Mol back because the kids!!! Want to see the hero too!!!
Hi Anon, thank you for the great request! This one was a blast to write and I really enjoyed it, I hope it's what you were after :)
For anyone wondering, this was the WIP referred to as 'adopting all the kids'
The bachelors finding you in the kids cave at the grove instead of at the party
General
The party was just starting to ramp up, making your rounds and catching up with everyone when you see it from the corner of your eye
A small tiefling with a cunning grin and an eye patch sitting on a rock at the edge of the clearing
Sneaking off to the edge of the firelight, with only a sideways glance from Halsin, you finally reach Mol
It really didn't take long for the girl to convince you to leave the party, her threat of upselling stolen firewine was almost enough convincing on its own
The two of you make your way back to the familiar cave that the children like to hide in, cheers being the first thing that meet your ears as Arabella and Mirkon happily rush up to you
The other children stay back but look excited in their own ways, Silfy peeking out behind a blanket wrapped around her, Mattis turning his attention towards you, and Doni letting out a small grunt in greeting
With some light begging from some of the kids (and some egging on from Mol and Mattis) it's not long before you pull out your instrument of choice and start your own party for the group of children
It might've been minutes or hours you were there, you're not sure until you're interrupted
Dammon
Dammon had no intent on going to the party, not only is he not a particularly social person but he also has an entire makeshift forge to pack down
It's when he's stuffing his things into a pack that he sees you and Mol sneaking back through the grove and into your hidey hole
At first he chalks it up to the kids shenanigans but he grows curious at the sound of music emanating from the crack in the wall
Dammon is actually pretty quiet when he starts to make his way down the very tight, very craggy tunnel
That is until he slips and slides the rest of the way down, tumbling out covered in dust and letting out a small cough
The silence is absolutely deafening
"So this is where the real party is? Hope you don't mind me... Dropping in-"
The pun was bad enough for Mol and Mattis to want to kick the blacksmith out but you're quite happy to defend him
Soon he's joined your little group of rascals and you've scrounged him up a drum and the two of you are serenading the kids with a very one of a kind concert
It's only once all of the kids have finally fallen asleep that the two of you clamber your way back out of the cave, Dammon helping to dust you off afterwards
Dammon himself is stuck thinking about how good you were with the kids and how unexpectedly nice the night was, but he knows tomorrow they all get back on the road and he might never see you again
Zevlor
Zevlor, to no one's surprise, had been standing off to the side near Halsin when you left
Ever the wallflower in social situations, he'd seen you sneaking off with Mol
Knowing how much of a handful those kids are, Zevlor decides to go find you both soon after
He's spent this whole time letting the children believe he had absolutely no idea of their secret hiding place, but Zevlor isn't blind
Zevlors careful with making his way down the rocky tunnel, listening to the music that slowly fills the air
The paladin is so quiet in his descent that no one actually realises he's there until he claps at the end of your performance
The kids are all quick to scurry away, except for Mol and Mattis, and it's up to you to try and convince them to let Zevlor stay
It takes a fair bit of convincing but it ends with the two of you regaling the kids with stories of wild adventures
Those stories include musical interludes too at the kids instance
Once all the kids have fallen asleep, curled up around each other or lying on large stones, you and Zevlor make the rounds covering them all with blankets
It's when Zevlor is helping pull you back out of the cave afterwards, feeling the warmth of your hand against his, that he realises how alive you make him feel and how effortless it is to be around you
Rolan
Rolan had spent most of the night drinking and putting on magic shows for his siblings
At some point in the night you'd come and given him applause but the next time he went to look for you, you'd already disappeared
It was Lia that pointed him in the right direction, mentioning you'd gone back to the grove
And so a tipsy, affection-starved wizard decides to stumble his way back to the grove to find you
It's both the sounds of music and the light bleeding through the cracks in the stone that draws him in
And if you think Dammons entrance was grand, Rolans is grander
Accidentally sliding down the last part like a surfer before quickly using his magic to make sure he doesn't fall flat on his face
Of the three bachelors, Rolan is the only one able to convince the kids to let him stay by himself
Showing off a little extra magic helped somewhat
It's then that the kids insist you both entertain them, putting on a join concert/magic show
For Rolan it was like Cal and Lia were little kids again, looking out at the little tiefling faces that are 'ooh'ing and 'aah'ing at the magic firework displays
"Ah, my adoring crowd, if you think that was good then behold this-"
You two made a good duo, bantering between yourselves and some of the kids, and putting on a good show till the early hours of the morning
It's only when the two of you make your way back out of the cave, hauling Mols smuggled wine she was planning on upselling, that you sit at the beach and indulge in a shared bottle
It's then that Rolan looks in your eyes, smiling and fatigued, that he realises how much he wants to kiss you
Whether or not he does is something neither of you can remember in the morning

Arcane characters with an S/O who can sing??? 👀
Arcane characters with a S/O who can sing
Tumblr media
VI is so in awe of your impressive talent, she thinks your voice is the most beautiful sound she ever heard. She loves listening to you sing while the two of you are doing household chores and will often join you! She also loves when the two of you are dancing to some instrumental music and you start humming. Brags about your singing abilities to anyone who is willing to listen, she is just so proud of you.
Tumblr media
JINX loves blasting loud music and singing along to the lyrics at the top of her lungs. So when you decide to join her and you sound so damn good while doing it, girlie falls head over heels for you. Fixes an old, beat-up karaoke machine so the two of you can have loads of fun together. When she has an episode, she asks you to sing her a lullaby as it calms down her mind and silences the voices. The soft rumble of your chest, your calming heartbeat and comforting voice are the only sounds she ever needs to hear in order to be happy and content. Genuinely tears up if you ever sing a love song aimed towards her, it makes her feel so loved and appreciated.
Tumblr media
The beauty of your voice was one of the first things CAITLYN noticed when she met you. She had her suspicions of your talent and she finally got her confirmation when she caught you practicing one day in your apartment as you thought she was at work. Little did you know she left early because she wanted to surprise you and spend a nice evening with her love. Caitlyn would quietly lean on the doorframe and wait until you're done, after which she'd start clapping, startling you in the process. After this, she calls you her siren because your silky voice never fails to hypnotize her and make her fall even more in love with you.
Tumblr media
EKKO has a huge soft spot for artistic people who are passionate about their talent. He loves hearing you practice and will encourage you to start performing (if you don't want to, he's cool with that, it just makes him feel more honored because he's the only one who gets to hear an actual angel sing). When he catches you singing a lullaby to a child from the Firelight hideout who had a nightmare, Ekko feels like the luckiest guy in the world to love someone so kind and wonderful. Always compliments your efforts and talent and often takes you out on karaoke dates. It makes him feel so alive to be able to sing along with you that, for a brief moment, he forgets all the burden he carries on his shoulders and actually feels like a carefree boy once again.
Tumblr media
SILCO greatly supports and indulges into this passion of yours. He often asks you to sing to him whenever you're hanging around in his office and he decides to take a break. He is a great lover of good music and having a darling with such an enjoyable talent is incredibly satisfying to him. Your voice brings him more joy than any old record ever could and he is very possessive of it. He makes you promise him that you will not sing to anyone else other than him, as your beauty is only for him to marvel at and praise.
Tumblr media
If you're up for it, VANDER would love to have you perform at the Last Drop. Oh, the way he'd boast to his patrons about how that beauty on the stage is his partner and how lucky he is to have you. You actually turn out to be quite a distraction to his work, as Vander has a hard time keeping his eyes off of you. Always makes sure that your favorite drink is waiting for you after each performance, telling you to drink up and that you've earned it. Knows that you're the one after he catches you singing lullabies to his adopted little rascals. Vander sees you as a literal blessing and a perfect addition to their family.
Tumblr media
Pretends unimpressed at first, as SEVIKA doesn't see singing as something useful for their cause or survival in ruthless Zaun. However, eventually you manage to get under her skin and she finds herself equally annoyed and in love with your humming while you're doing things around your apartment. With time, she starts to seek out your voice and even tries to sneak about in order to listen to your beautiful singing. Once you catch onto her unvoiced pleasure in hearing you, you start singing more clearly and loudly when doing chores and she actually gives you an awkward but heartfelt compliment for your talent. Sevika admits it's not the worst sound to listen to and soon she cannot imagine going about her everyday life without hearing her beloved's tunes.
Tumblr media
VIKTOR is so amazed by your voice and makes sure you are always aware of how fascinating you are to him. Before meeting you, he rarely indulged himself in listening to music but it has become a crucial part of his everyday life ever since he met you. If you ever go through the trouble of learning a song in his native language, Viktor genuinely cries and kisses you silly. How has he gotten so lucky to be blessed with such a divine and gifted partner? Viktor is content with never knowing the answer to that as long as you stay by his side and bless his ears with your brilliant tone which is always heavy with love whenever you speak to him.
Tumblr media
Being so well-versed into the arts, MEL can practically sniff out your singing talent the moment she meets you. She has a good eye for noticing skill and passion, which proves itself correct once again when she hears you sing for the first time. She is immediately enamored with the emotion and effort you put into your singing and patiently waits for your little performance to end before giving you a very impressed applause which is followed by praise as sweet as honey. She is conflicted when it comes to other people, because as much as she likes to praise your gift in front of others, she also wants it to be your little secret. After all, her darling's innermost and deepest traits are only for her to witness and she keeps such things guarded under lock and key. As audacious as Mel is, she is just as equally possessive.

Arcane S/O Seeing Reader With A Child
EKKO
Tumblr media
Ekko didn't really think about kids
He didn't really have time, he had you and he needed to think about the firelights
So the topic of kids never came up
And you both were still barely adults yourself, so there was time
But he always did love seeing you playing with the kids in the hideout
Thought it was nice and that you brought them something they missed
The kids loved you, you would play with them all the time
Ekko would watch all the time, joining in sometimes as you all ran around like mad men
Every kid there was a little joy to you all
But two stuck out from the rest
Jamie and Lena
They were 6 years old twins
They were taken off the streets, their parents abandoned them.
They were terrified, the masks scared them and so did the hoverboards
But they clung to you as you reminded them of their older sister they had lost
And they loved Ekko, they thought he provided comfort and safety for them
Which was rare
And both you and Ekko loved them back
And Ekko didn't know what it was, but seeing you taking care of them made him just fall in love all over again
Ekko walked out the dark tunnel, coming back from a mission as he waved bye to his friends and walked over to the tree. 
He stopped for a minute, meeting up with Scar as he waved at his little niece his friend held.
"Where's Y/n?" Ekko asked, Scar was about to answer before Ekko heard laughing. It was yours, but mixed in with some others.
He turned around, confused before his eyes caught your hoverboard zipping past him. 
He watched as you stood on the hoverboard, Jamie hugging your waist as you tossed Lena in the air.
The girl laughed, falling down as you turned the corner and went back for her, catching her in your arms.
You placed her in front of you, the girl sitting on the board and holding in as you let Jamie hop on your back. 
The boy laughed as you did tricks on the board, circling the tree and going upside down, sometimes even sideways and almost tipping you all over.
You finally came down from the air, laughing as Jamie stumbled off the board while giggling. 
You picked up Lena, the girl blowing your messed up hair out your face as you laughed.
You tickled thw girl's stomach, the small one laughing as she tried to fight you off. Jamie then came running at your leg, clinging to it as you laughed.
"Jamie!" You yelled, lifting up your leg as he laughed and clung on. 
You eventually stumbled to the floor, holding Lena in your lap as Jamie stood up and hugged your neck.
Ekko watched with a fond smile, tilting his head a bit as he watched you all giggling like a small family. How did he get so lucky?
You looked at him, making eye contact and smiling as you waved him over. Jamie and Lena saw, smiling as they ran up to Ekko and almost tackled him to the ground.
Ekko picked them up, one on each arm as you came walking over. You gave him a kiss on the cheek, rolling your eyes as Jamie and Lena made exaggerated gagging noises.
Ekko laughed, smiling at all three of you. 
He was really lucky, he had guy guys.
VI
Tumblr media
Vi loved you, because of how sweet and snarky you were
You first met her when you guys were young
You were around her age, 15 
She was running around the lanes, looking for Powder
She had run off, saying she was going to a friends house but she wasn't with Ekko
And Powder didn't have any friends
So Vi went looking for her
And she found her
But with you, the girl was on your back as you listened to her rambling
You were smiling, joking with her sister when everyone would usually ignore the small girl except Vi
So she was grateful you were so nice to her sister
That's what initially drew her to you
But you were always sweet to anyone
Especially kids
She wasn't used to anyone being so sweet, especially in the lanes and to kids
She also never really got why people valued kids so much and wanted gehm so bad in the Undercity
It was always chaos, she didn't think she would ever have to care for anyone but herself after what happened the night everyone died
Until she found you again, but you had someone with you
Vi sat in your guys' apartment, on the couch as she felt her joints crack after walking around all day. And getting into a few small fights, not that they would ever tell you.
She looked up, hearing the door hinges creaking as the door opened and heard your voice. 
"We're back!" You called out, Vi smiling as she heard the small pattering of feet against the hardwood floors. In came Violet, your daughter.
When Vi had found you, you worked at the brothel. You got into some things after it all happened, found a douche guy and got pregnant.
You didn't love the guy, just after Vi left or died as you thought you wanted to feel love again. 
But you didn't, you ended up trying to replace her but you couldn't replace the irreplaceable.
And he left, and when Violet was born you gave her the name of the one you lost. Vi was happy, but also shocked when she met your daughter.
Violet was happy to meet the pink haired woman her mother talked so much about, loving Vi before she had even met her.
Violet jumped on the couch, into Vi's lap as Vi smiled at her and ruffled her hair. "How's your day been?" She asked, messing with the clip in Violet's hair she had done that morning.
"Good, mama got me candy!" Violet smiled, looking up at Vi, holding the candy up as the woman nodded her head. 
"She wouldn't stop begging for it." You laughed, sitting on the other side of Vi as she wrapped her arm around your shoulder. 
"Sounds eventful." She chuckled, kissing the side of your head as Violet climbed off her lap.
She laid down on her back, her head in Vi's lap now as she rambled on about your guys' day and offering Vi her candy.
Vi smiled, enjoying every moment. She loved these, eventually you all drifted off to sleep, in your own small world. She loved her little family. 
Hopefully Aunt Jinx will visit soon, she hadn't seen her niece in a week. The longest she had been without Violet.
JINX
Tumblr media
Jinx only knew you after a few years of her transformation from Powder to Jinx
You worked for Silco
Not a hitman or anything, he hired you to watch after Jinx
Essentially a bodyguard
Jinx hated it
She tried to get rid of you in as many ways that she could think of
She hated being watched over, like a child, it reminded her of Vi
And she hated thinking of Vi
Her big sister who left her
And you hovering over 24/7 like a babysitter, like Vi did, made her hate you
She wanted to get rid of you, she did it before she could do it again
So she followed you one night to your apartment
Wasn't the best but she was confused once you didn't go home after being let go from your shift
She followed you, freezing upon what she saw
You were knelt down in front of a small child
Then she heard the little one, no older than four years old saying "Sissy"
She froze, she finally understood why you reminded her of Vi
Because in a way, you were Vi, the older, protective sister
She stood in her place even after you left with your little sister
After that day she didn't hate you anymore
You were confused at that, thinking she was planning something
But after time went on you just accepted it
Jinx was actually nice to you, well the best Jinx could
And after a long time, you started dating
She loved it
But she never spoke about your sister, you told her about the kid but she never really brought it up unless you did
She thought she would never have to meet her
But she was wrong
"Hey, Jinx!" You called out, Jinx waving over her shoulder as she worked at her desk. 
She smiled, hearing your voice but sat up confused when she heard another pair of footsteps with yours.
She heard a small giggle, freezing a bit as she turned around on her chair to see you walking over to her with your sibling on your back.
"Sorry, S/n can't be left alone until I can drop her off with Sevika." You apologize, the small girl peeking over your shoulder at Jinx.
Jinx slowly nodded her head, hesitant and a bit uncomfortable around the child. She didn't hate her, she just didnt wanna mess anything up and had never really been around children.
"Hi, Miss Jinx!" Your little sister smiled, sliding off your back and bouncing up to the woman.
"...Hi?" Jinx waved, staring at the girl as she tilted her head. Why wasn't she scared of her? Her name was pretty well known for chaos.
"What's this?" Nani asked, picking up a bomb off the desk and poing at the pin as your eyes widened.
"Nani-" you were cut off though by Jinx taking the bomb quickly from your sister.
She gave a small giggle, nervous a bit but finding humour in the situation. 
"Maybe not that one," she stated, humming as she looked on her desk before her eyes lit up.
"Here! Play with this!" She laughed, stuffing a remote into your sister's hand as she looked at it curiously. "What's this?" She asked, pointing at a button.
"Press it!" Jinx beckoned her, your sister smiling and pressing the button causing yellow, pink and blue sparks to fly all over the room.
Your sister looked up at the sparks, her eyes reflected with the lights as she jumped up and down with excitement.
"Again! Again!" She smiled, Jinx nodding her head and standing up as she took the small girl in her arms.
"Forget Sevika! You're stuck with me now!" She laughs, your sister nodding her head as she wrapped her arms around her neck. You smiled at them.
Walking up to them you gave Jinx a kiss on the cheek, the girl smiling as your sister pushed your face away from her.
"No! Mine now." She stated, hugging Jinx closer to her as Jinx's face grew smug. You shook your head, smiling.
Jinx was happy for now, she was content at this moment. Your sister wasn't so bad. Hopefully she would ruin it.
CAITLYN
Tumblr media
Caitlyn liked kids
She thought they were adorable with a lot of curiosity
They reminded her of herself when young
She also had a younger sister she would take care of
It was to help her parents and because she loved her little sister
Her name was Briana, she was nine years old
Her parents had her when she was a bit older
She didn't mind though
She also met you after you had found her sister when she got lost
She thanked you heavily as she was worried to death for the girl
When you guys started dating her sister was around a lot
She at first didn't know what you thought of it, she was sorta nervous
But you never said anything about it
So she thought you liked her sister
But she always was bugged never having confirmation
Until one day she found you guys asleep
Caitlyn sighed, opening the door to your guys' apartment and hooked her coat over the rack hook.
She rolled her shoulders, sighing as she felt her shoulder pop. She went towards the hall, confused to where you were because she would usually be met with you as soon as she came home.
She got to your guys' bedroom, opening the door before freezing in the door frame. 
She smiled after a moment, seeing the sight of her sister curled up on your side as you had an arm around her. 
The blanket covering you guys was thrown half off the bed, both of you leaning against the headboard.
She shook her head, leaning against the door frame as she admired your sleeping face.
How did she get so lucky?
SEVIKA
Tumblr media
She had a kid of her own
Sienna, she was four years old, she never planned on kids but somehow she ended up with one
But she never regretted her daughter
She loved her and she would do anything for her
That's why she was so stand offish towards you when you were first hired by Silco
Her daughter always hung around her while working
It was because her daughter hung around the bar a lot with her while she worked
It was because she knew she could give her the best protection, better than anyone else
But you got closer to Sevika
Not on your own, but because of Sienna
Sevika's boots thud against the wood of the stairs going down to the last drop. She had talked to Silco just now, a new mission was coming up and she had to go.
She hated those. She had to find someone to watch Sienna because even if she wanted to stay with her, she couldn't because this one was too dangerous.
She finally got to the last steps, looking around the bar. It was a slow day, nobody really coming in except for a few people. She finally heard the small giggle of her daughter.
Her giggle mixed in with the music in the bar and the stragglers of the bar's conversations.
She shook her head, a small smile gracing her features. A smile only for her daughter, she heard footsteps on the wood, confused as she looked up and saw Sienna.
But she wasn't alone, in the middle of the room you were with her. 
She was on your hip, you spinning her around and dipping her to the music as her little carefree giggle melted her mothers heart.
You then set her down, twirling her around and crouching down to let her spin you the best she could.
Sienna then looked at Sevika, her eyes visible lighting up as she saw her mother. She smiled, waving her mom over as Sevika hesitated before walking over.
You looked at Sevika surprised, smirking at the woman as you silently held a hand out to her. She scoffed amusedly, taking the challenge and taking your hand as she spun you once.
You laughed. "Wow, Sevika knows how to dance?" You teased, the woman rolling her eyes and shaking her head with her own, dumb smirk on her face.
Sienna giggled, her plan had worked. She saw the way her mama looked at you. And she loved you too.
She threw herself full force at you and hugged your waist. 
You laughed as you bent down and swayed back and forth with her. The girl on the tips of your feet as you helped her follow your step.
Sevika watched, amused. Her eyes follow you and her daughter with an unfamiliar feeling in her chest. 
Maybe you would watch Sienna for her. Would give her a chance to talk to you more.

omg bro i’ve been actuallly dying for someone to do buff!reader x arcane characters headcanons - i’ve been working hard at the gym so i’d love to see it pay off with my fav characters pretty please !!
Hello! Thank you for requesting!!
I didn’t really get all of the characters on my list like I wanted to, so I just did Vi, Caitlyn, and Ekko. I lost motivation part of the way through and then Star Wars Rebels brainrot got to me and then I didn’t know what else to write, so this will have to to for now. I hope it’s alright.
I hope you enjoy too!! :DDD
“Look at you!”
Vi, Caitlyn, Ekko x Buff!Reafer [separate - could be perceived as either romantic or platonic]
Summary ; In which training hard gets their attention.
Requested? ; Yes
Warnings ; None
Word Count ; 831
——————————————————————
Vi
Vi is pretty buff in her own right as well as you.
I mean c'mon, we've seen her in a tanktop. We've seen her back muscles and arm muscles.
All that time running around the Undercity and keeping herself busy while she was still locked up in prison really paid off.
And while you didn't exactly have the time to train in a jail cell, you certainly did when helping Ekko with the Firelights. You helped him build, and train others since the start of it all.
You both knew each other before everything that happened with Vander and Powder - Jinx - Powder? Whatever she went by nowadays - and Milo and Claggor. You weren't as buff back then like you were now. So when Vi met you again years later after Ekko let her see the Firelight hideout properly, she was pleasantly surprised.
"Look at you!", she had said in quiet astonishment.
"Look at me.", you said back with a smile. She draws you in for a hug. You both squeeze each other tightly. It's been... a long time.
"You filled out well", Vi comments softly in your ear.
"I wanted to be strong like you were", you tell her. "Plus the muscles look amazing on me. Lotta hard work to look like this."
"Well your hard work really paid off - seriously, look at you!" She pulls back, looking at you up and down, eyes roving over the muscles you had toned for months now in endearment. "You're not wrong, they look great on you."
Caitlyn
Caitlyn has had training herself as an enforcer. She's toned herself, but lean all the same.
The muscles are still visibly there, though, of course.
Now you, on the other hand? Buff. Bigger muscles, more sculpted but not to the point of what looks to be like dehydration. You've been working for them for months.
Years, even, at this point.
You weren't an enforcer by any means, but you were consistent in visiting the gym that Caitlyn usually trains at. That's how the two of you met, afterall.
Training in the gym.
One of the days you were both there, she was spotting you on one of the newer equipment that the gym had recently gotten. Courtesy of Caitlyn using her nobility status for personal gain.
And using friend privileges with Jayce who worked with the Piltoven council.
She was watching you as you worked, and her eyes caught onto the muscle she's seen you make yourself over the years.
Thinking back on it, she never really paid too much attention to the changes. It was gradual. She was already used to how buff you looked now, and however you looked before - which was probably still buff, but not as nearly as much as now.
She hummed with a proud look, patting your shoulder when you got off the equipment. "Sometimes I forget how hard you really work. Let’s go take a break and get some water. And maybe some lunch. I'll pay."
You can read through the lines when she gives your shoulder a squeeze. And you caught the way her eyes glanced over you. She was really proud of you, wasn't she?
"Lunch sounds perfect."
Ekko
You’ve been training with Ekko and the rest of the firelights for years at this point.
Well, it’s been seven years, but still years nonetheless.
Your progress was gradual, subtle in the ways that Ekko was already used to you being buff, much like you with him.
He was buff as well, much like you were. But as said before, you both trained together with the firelights. It was normal to see him the way he was, the way he was determined to stay strong - in more ways than one - and disrupt Silco’s horrible Shimmer business and regime in Zaun.
But much like with Caitlyn, sometimes he notices your gains in strength.
How your training has paid off.
You’d be just moving boxes of supplies for everyone in the hideout with him, ranging from medical supplies and medicines, foods and stuff for drinks, and parts for whatever Ekko and a couple of the other engineers create. Even extra toys and supplies for all the other kids you guys kept safe in the Hideout.
And after setting a box onto a pile in the supply room, Ekko glances in your direction, and just stares for a bit, resting his elbow against a metal shelf in the room. A smile ends up pulling at the corners of his mouth, even more so when you notice him looking at you.
“Everything good over there?”, you ask, raising a brow. You turn away and pick up another, smaller box, and stretch up to put the container someplace higher.
“Yeah.”, he chuckles lightly, turning back to the shelf. He pushed a couple of boxes to the side, making room for another. “Everything’s good.”
He doesn’t say it verbally, but the glint in his eyes do.
You look good, and you work hard.
He was proud.

Arcane characters saying "I love you" for the first time
Warnings~ none just fluff
Characters~ Vi, Jinx, Ekko
Summary~ You have been dating for a while but neither one of you has said the ‘L’ word yet.
Vi
When you and Vi were kids there was always something between you two and eventually you guys ended up dating. Mylo, Ekko, and Powder would tease both of you about it all the time. But that was a long time ago and things are different now. Everyone was different now. Powder became Jinx, Ekko went MIA, Mylo, Claggor, and Vander died, and Vi disappeared. You ended up working as an assassin for Silco so you could at least stay close to Jinx but that didn’t stop you from thinking about everyone you lost, especially Vi. 
One day you heard that some girl did a number on Sevika and decided to scout the streets from the roof of a random building. That’s when you saw her. You weren’t sure at first so you dropped down to get a closer look before walking up behind her.
“Vi?” You called cautiously while pulling your hood down. Vi and the women she was walking with both turned around. Her eyes widened as tears welled in yours. You ran up to her, wrapping your arms around her as she took you in hers. 
“I missed you Y/n.” She whispered before breaking the hug, her hands still on your shoulders. “I missed you too Violet.” A tear fell down your face. Vi smiled at the use of her full name as she rested her forehead against yours and cupped your cheek before letting all of her past feelings slip out.
“Come with us,” she begged. “I don’t wanna lose you again. I can’t. I love you too much.”
Jinx
You were on your way down to Jinx’s lair to drop off some materials for her projects when you heard an explosion. You ran as fast as you could to see what happened only to find blue particles wisping around and Jinx on the ground crying. 
“No! It was a mistake! It was a mistake.” She cried. You’ve seen her have episodes before but none like this. 
“Jinx?” You called, stepping towards her, dropping the box. Upon hearing your voice she ran into your arms and continued to sob into you. You held her as tight as you could, rubbing her back and occasionally shushing her. 
“It’s alright Jinx. You're okay.” You comforted her as best as you could but the voices in her head were too distracting. Picking her up, you walked over to the couch and sat with her on your lap, rocking her back and forth. You would stroke her hair, and whisper sweet nothings as she slowly stopped hyperventilating. 
“I’m sorry.” Jinx mumbled, her arms wrapped tight around your neck as she stared off into the distance. “You have nothing to apologize for.” You looked down at her before her eyes went to yours. She stared at you for a good minute before resting her head against your chest. “Why do you always take care of me?” She asked, voice raspy from the prior sobbing. 
“Because I care for you more than you’ll ever know.” You replied without hesitation. She fell silent for a few seconds.
“Do you love me?” Her voice was filled with caution out of fear of denial which confused you because you two were already dating.
“More than you ever know.” You stated as your eyes met hers. “Good” A smile grew on her face. “Cause I love you too.”
Ekko
After the Firelights mission on the aircraft, Ekko started to worry about you and your safety. Watching his people get shot left and right by Jinx really made him wonder if or when you were next. He would do anything to prevent that from happening even if you hated him for it. 
When the surviving firelights made it back to the hideout Ekko pulled you aside. Normally when he did this it was to go over plans for the next attack or simply for some quality time together but judging by the grip he had on your arm and how tense his muscles were you knew something was up.
“Ekko…what’s wrong?” No response, no falter in his grip or his stare. You hated when he ignored you, it made you feel like a small child and the way he looked at you was almost like he didn’t know what to do with you. 
“Well? What is it?” You were growing impatient. You knew something was up and it was most likely gonna end with a lecture. At this point you were just waiting for him to spit it out. He stared at you again for another five or so seconds before looking to the ground and sighing. You were surprised when he suddenly pulled you in for a strong hug.
“I just want you to be safe.” He admitted, resting his head on top of yours as you returned his embrace. 
“I know Ekko, I know-” “Which is I think that it would be best if…if you just stayed here.” He said hesitantly. You took a few seconds to process his words before pulling back enough to meet his eyes. “What are you saying?” Ekko sighed again, eyes roaming somewhere else before looking to you again. “Y/n I don’t want you on any more missions.” You scoffed and shoved him away as you turned to leave. 
“Look, you saw what she did to our people. That could’ve been you!” Ekko pleaded as he blocked you from the door. You tried your best to push him out of the way but unfortunately your efforts were in vain. You let out an annoyed huff before staring Ekko dead in the eyes. 
“I can take care of myself, I’ve survived this long haven’t I?” You honestly couldn’t believe that he was trying to keep you from missions. “This isn’t fair, you’ve gotten hurt before and so have half of the other firelights so why is it just me being benched?” You argued while resuming  your attempts to push him out of your way only for him to grip your wrists. “Because I love you!”
His words shocked you both. You looked up at him to make sure you heard him clearly. His eyes held pure surprise before he shut them and regained his composure. You could only stand there and wait for him to go on.
“I love you, and I don’t want to see you hurt.” Ekko whispered. His eyes were glued to the ground but you could see that he meant it. You walked up to him and gently lifted his chin. “Say it again.” Without hesitation Ekko took your hand in his and whispered.
“I love you.” You pulled him into a kiss to which he gladly accepted.
“I love you too”.

So sorry for the unnecessarily long wait😅 hopefully part two and possibly 3 will be out soon also I’m gonna try and expand to other games/shows (everyone stopped writing for Heisenberg so I’m just gonna take it upon myself to do so✨)
Feel free to repost! It’s much appreciated🫶🏼

Loving Mr.Munson bonus - 80’s Mixtapes
Just a quick written little blurb based on part 2 of ‘To have and to hold.’ Hope you enjoy❤️

Eddie:
" You look magnificent in the firelight Mr. Munson."
My eyes flicked from the fireplace to the doorway leading to the master bedroom.
My eyes widened as I took in the sight of her." Goddamn Mrs.Munson, you look positively breathtaking."
" This old thing?" A smile spread across her beautiful face as she ran her hand over the fabric of my black and white flannel shirt, it was the shirt I had worn earlier when we went for a leisurely walk down to the Lake, the one I wore went we strolled through the woods and the one I wore when I fucked her up against a tree in the privacy of the back yard. This whole weekend had been a fuckfest, the woman was insatiable, and I fucking love it, and I thanked god above that I was still able to recover quickly so I could keep up with her.
I watched as she slowly walked over to where I was sitting on the couch, she was putting on a show. " Fuck, Sweetheart," I licked my lips, seeing her wearing my shirt with nothing but a red lace push-up bra and tiny matching panties, I had to shift to make room for the tent in my pants. Once she was within my reach I grabbed her by the hips and pulled her to me. I kissed the soft skin just above her panties, than her hips. " Your so fucking hot."
She leaned down and kissed me." Not as hot as you Baby."
" Why don't you sit your sweet ass down on my lap-"
" Why don't you take off your pants." She winked at me than walked over to the stereo. I watched her sweet ass as she opened up the leather case with the cassettes in it and ran her finger along the jackets. She smiled and pulled out the mixtape I had made in high school, ‘Songs to Fuck to’ the one I had put together in hopes that one day I would actually have a girlfriend or at least a hook up at a Harrington party to play it for, but it never happened. The only hooking up that ever actually occurred was in the back of my van after shows at the hideout, and that ended up resulting in the conception of my son.
" Looks like this mixtape is finally going to get some use, get ready Baby."
I smirked and watched her pop the tape into the player and close the little door. She pressed play then ran over to me , her perfect titties jiggling as she ran and I bit my lip.
My Princess straddled my lap and didn't waste any time capturing my mouth with hers, parting my lips with her tongue.
That's when we heard the bell ring. She nearly jumped off of my lap, but I held her there.
" What the- is this For whom the bell tolls?" She threw her head back and laughed now that the initial moment of panic had worn off. It made me chuckle. " Edward Munson, you were going to fuck girls to this?"
I smirked." What? It's a good fucking song-"
" It is a good fucking song but not exactly a good FUCKING song."
" I didn't know! I just listened to a lot of metal, I didn't know a lot of gooey love songs back then! I had never had sex when I made this tape, " I smiled and shrugged. " I was just thinking, it was my favorite song at the time, how cool would it be to screw to it?"
" I fucking love you!" My Sweetheart took my face in her hands and kissed me again. " So they are all metal songs?"
I smirked. " I don't remember all of the songs on here,it was a long time ago-"
" That's alright Baby, I'll make it work, I'm going to make your teenage dreams come true." She started kissing me again, pushing me against the back of the couch. I felt her lightly run her fingernails down my arms and it made me shiver. In the background James Hetfield sang " Take a look to the sky just before you die, it's the last time you will-" a tug on my lower lip with her teeth put my head back in the game. Her mouth moved down my jaw, my neck, to the fucking sweet spot just below my ear." Fuuckk,"
" That's the spot huh Baby?" She continued further down , lightly biting where my neck and collarbone met and my hips bucked.
" Jesus Christ!" If she had done that to me when I was a teenager I would have blown my load right then and there.
" Let's get these pants off so we can have some real fun." She hopped off my lap than pulled my sweatpants down, my raging boner slapping against my stomach. I reached out and slid her panties down, and she stepped out of them . She bit her lip, driving me absolutely insane, then straddled me again , this time slowly lowering herself down onto my cock. She was so fucking wet....
We both groaned. The song changed. Iron Maiden's Flight of Icarus was next. She smiled and kissed the tip of my nose sweetly before she rocked my fucking world. It was a total fucking sensory overload, the sight of her riding my cock, her breasts bouncing, Iron Maiden playing in the background and her singing along as she fucked me-
" Fly on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun."
" Princess, I'm not going to fucking last-"
She pressed her body against mine and rode me even harder.
" I'm so fucking close Sweetheart, " My hands were gripping her hips so hard I was afraid I would leave bruises. I was trying so hard to control myself but it felt so fucking good...
A cry spilled from her lips and she threw her head back, back arching and the sight of her, falling apart, her walls clenching around my cock was my complete undoing. My body shuttered and bucked as I held onto her,and I came so fucking hard.
She collapsed onto me panting, and I wrapped her up in my arms.
"That was fucking amazing, your so fucking amazing." I cooed in her ear, kissing her head. " My special fucking girl."
" Was it everything you dreamed it would be baby? " She picked her head up off my shoulder and asked.
" So much better than I could have ever imagined." I kissed her forehead and smiled." I'm pretty sure that teenage Eddie would have nutted the second he saw your titties though if I'm being completely honest."
She laughed." I would have been honored that just the sight of them made you blow your load." She tucked an unruly wave of hair behind my ear and smirked as she recognized the opening to War Pigs by Black Sabbath. "I love you baby but we may need to come up with a new playlist, something a little slower perhaps ? I tried to keep up with the rhythm - I don't know if I'll be able to walk right tomorrow-"
" You worked awfully hard Darlin." I leaned forward and kissed her lips. "I'm going to go draw you a nice warm bath, how's that sound Sweetheart? I'll pour you some wine-"
" You'll join me?"
" If you want."
" Sounds incredible." She smiled." Did you ever have any other fantasies?"
I smirked." I always had a thing for Princess Leia-"
" Halloween is coming up..."
" For real?"
" I would do anything for you Baby, hence fucking you on Harrington's couch to Iron Maiden."
I chuckled." Just so you know, your wish is my command, Darling."
She smiled." How would you feel about wearing a pirate hat and eye patch?"
"Aye, matey. Me thinks I would be happy to oblige, as long as you give up yer booty." I smirked and slapped her ass.
She laughed." You're incorrigible Mr.Munson."
" And yet you still love me Mrs. Munson."
She smiled and it melted my heart. "For ever and ever."
As always thank you for reading, I love and appreciate re-blogs and feedback, so please comment away ❤️

The immense amount of ANGST potential this has!!!?!! Especially if you love the Firelights Jinx AU.
Also, Ekko's line to Caitlyn:
"If your people had it their way, it be rubble and ash."
Sounds like a hell of a lot of foreshadowing.
Imagine there's Jinx has a 10,000 coin reward for her capture. They could have trusted the wrong person and told the Enforcers of her whereabouts.
The Firelights(specifically Ekko since he's the leader) are charged and arrested for harboring a known fugitive for months.
When they invade the hideout;
Ekko, Jinx, and the rest of the Firelights are not going to let them destroy their home without a fight.
Also, Jinx and Ekko being hellbent to protect each other during their fight with The Enforcers.

Hi! Hope you having a great day, do you still taking Arcane request. If so can you do a Ekko x GN reader where the two of them having really bad fight then the reader said they should take a break of this relationship and left the Firelight place. Didn't come back for a while. Both of them regret that decision but they too stubborn to said it.
It's been a week since that fight, the reader was a mechanic. They trying to fix something for a friend but ran out of things to fix, so the reader go out to find some supply. At that time the firelight was out fighting Silco's people, At first the reader choose to ignored but notice Ekko got injured from one of the guys that when the reader run out to help Ekko and the firelight beating those bad guys.
After a while helping Ekko get back to the try to make the wound better. The reader about to leave, returning to their work place. But Ekko pulling back, want to make up the fight before and didn't want their relationship to end like that. The reader apologize about that fight and they make up!
(You can make it a little drama like having a boy or girl got too comfy with Ekko or not your choice! Angst at the beginning then fluff in the end and sorry if my grammar bad, English isn't my first language)

The air that surrounded the Firelight soldiers as the squad returned to the hideout could be described as something akin to tension.
It was heavy, weighing on the soldiers shoulders as the squad of five hung their battle wear and accessories in their respective cubbies for housing. No one dared to speak, for fear that the unbridled temper that was thinly veiled by their leader’s quiet demeanor would be unleashed if a word was spoken into the unanimously agreed upon silence.
It was thick, evident in the way the squad members pushed through the hot and sticky summer air to hang their belongings. The hesitance slowed their movements, careful not to cause any abrupt disturbances in the carefully crafted momentum that would guarantee the three other squad members precise escape from the gear room and into the open clearing of the sanctuary, where although the air was still blazing hot, it was better to breathe than the air inside, looming with hostility.
Three would find their escapes successful, returning to their individual rooms to release the stress that had settled in their muscles from the night's events. And although they had escaped the worst of it, something still lingered in their stomachs as the distance between them and the last two remaining squad members in the gear room grew.
It wasn’t just tension. It was apprehension.
White locs were dirtied with gunpowder and sweat, a thin layer of it also coating his dark cacao skin. A deep frown makes its way onto the leader’s face, frown lines prominent on his forehead, thick nose scrunched in vexation. He leaned against a nearby table, arms swollen and toned with muscle folded across his chest as he stared at the woman before him. He was trying to calm himself, formulate the words he would say in a way that wouldn’t be regrettable, but as the events of the night continued to replay in his mind, he found his efforts nugatory.
It wasn’t just tension; it was apprehension.
He watched the woman before him take her precious time in putting up her gear. She wasn’t ignorant to the tension in the room. She wasn’t ignorant, but she knew the cause of it. She knew the reason why she was taking her time in stripping off her coat, making sure it hung on the right hook by the right tag. She knew the reason behind taking extra care in extracting her mask from her face, placing the facial ornament flat onto the floor of the cubby. She knew the reason why she was taking extra care in removing her gloves instead of ripping them off like normal.
It wasn’t just tension.
It was apprehension.
“So,” the leader’s voice echoes out into the room, the first vocal sound to do so outside of the rustle of clothing against wood and clacking of the same material against the frame of the cubby made from metal. His voice  was deep, laced with madden, restrained, “wanna talk about what the fuck that was out there?”
“Nothing,” you responded, short and curt. You were biting your tongue, the both of you knew it. You were restraining yourself just as much as he was, “it was nothing-”
“Bullshit,” the white haired boy interjects, “you don’t do shit like that and call it ‘nothing’, (Y/N).”
He could see your jaw flexing, attempting to keep your mouth closed and your resolve intact as you stored away your last glove, closing the cubby door, all without looking at him. 
“I’m not doing this with you.” You firmly announce. Your pair of feet that had been stuck in the same position finally followed your will to move as you turned to the doorway, preparing to leave the room.
“You don’t have a choice, Captain!”
His voice is booming, thunderous like a God, and it commands you to halt your movements. The use of your title makes you grit your teeth, a tight breath slipping past your lips in a gamble for reclaiming your composure.
The leader pushes himself from his leaning position, standing firmly on his own two feet, hands coming together in a prayer motion in front of his face to stifle the agitation in his voice he was sure to let slip.
“We had a plan,” he says securely, though ironic in the current situation, “we had a plan to track movement. We had a plan to solely track that shipment; why the fuck did you divert from the plan?”
This wasn’t just tension; it was apprehension.
“The fuck do you want me to say, Ekko?” You seeth through gritted teeth, slowly but surely turning to face the boy behind you. “What the fuck is there to say?”
There’s an intensity in the air that comes from the severity of the situation at hand. Both of you restraining yourselves from enacting a yelling match, attempting to prevent the inevitable; trying to remain civil for each other’s sakes. Because if anyone knew how badly this could end, it would be the both of you.
“I fucked up,” you admit, though that was already evident in the heated silence that followed the squad home, “I made a fucking mistake. Is that what you want to hear?”
“No,” Ekko answers imply, “no, that’s not what I want to hear. Because that’s bullshit, too.”
“Excuse me?” You scoff, your expression mixed with shock and disbelief. “How are you gonna tell me about what I did? You think I don’t know what a fucking mistake is-”
“That wasn’t no fucking ‘mistake’, (Y/N)!” Ekko interjects again, and it’s the subtlety of which he does so that begins to spark an ember in your core with him. 
“We been in this game- we been together- for seven years, (Y/N),” the brown eyed boy continues, “seven fucking years. You think I don’t know your mistakes by now? You think I don’t know you?”
Of course he does, you think. Otherwise he wouldn’t be as angered as he is right now. 
“I know what it was,” he proclaims, pointing at you in an accusatory motion “it was your head.”
“My head?” You reiterate, said limb on your body tilting to the side, a growing annoyance evident in your voice. “What about my head, Ekko?”
“You really gon’ make me say it out loud?”
“Yes, cuz I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.”
It was a lie; you knew very well what he was referencing. You weren’t sure how it was so easy for such words to spill from your lips. Maybe it was because of the suddenness of this confrontation, despite knowing it was bound to happen. You’d played every plausible scenario of how this exact moment would play out, attempting to prepare yourself for Ekko’s questioning, and the inevitable argument that would take place. Maybe it was because you wanted him to hurry this charade along, despising his natural skill of dragging things on for far longer than what they needed to be.
“I have you as my sniper for a reason,” Ekko begins, “I have you as my second in command for a reason. Not because you’re the only person I’ve got left-” a fib of his own spills from his lips, but addressing it would not steer the conversation anywhere but in circles, “-not because you’re my fucking girlfriend, but because you proved that you could always hold a chill head. That you could take the orders given. That you could make the calls when I can't.”
“I’m sure you’ll get to a point eventually, Ek.” You scoff, refraining from rolling your eyes as he lectured you as if you were still children, holled up in an alleyway on the streets of the Undercity, hiding from enforcer soldiers.
“Whatever the fuck that was out there, was not a calm and chill head. So I need you to tell me,” Ekko steps closer, the sound of his combat boots echoing throughout the tattered walls of the gear room, “what did you see that knocked you off?”
“This is ridiculous, Ekko,” you profess, “what’re you gonna do if I don’t?” Take me off the tracking team? Demote me?”
Perhaps it wasn’t wise to say such daring words to the very leader of the rebellion you swore your life to. If there was anything about Ekko that was redeeming, it was his unyielding devotion to owning his title and standing on his word. And as he stands before you, an arms length away with chocolate brown irises blazing into yours with a fire so hot it could scorch your own fierce ones, there’s a gnawing at your stomach that tells you that he absolutely would. 
“You think I won’t?”
Silence filled the already tension-thick atmosphere, seeping into the folds and making it all the more unbearable. You weren’t sure how long the two of you stared at each other in a battle of will, a common practice the two of you engaged in whenever a disagreement arised. Without an audience, the glares in exchange lasted for what felt like minutes, hours. 
And Ekko wasn’t backing down.
“Are you serious?” You muttered through gritted teeth. “All this over a dumb mistake that will never happen again?”
“It was a mistake that could have costed us lives!” Ekko bellows once more, and if it weren't for it being the second time he had raised his voice, you may have flinched by the volume it had risen to. “We can’t afford to make mistakes, (Y/N) - especially with what we do - you know that more than anyone here!”
“And it wont happen again!” You declared, garnering agitation in your voice from having to repeat yourself more than you would like to. 
“And how can I know that, (Y/N)!?” Ekko shouts, challenging your words once more, and it more than suggests to you that he doesn’t believe them. He knows you’re not telling him everything, and it irks him to his core.
You turn once again with a mission to leave, even getting your feet to start moving, but that doesn’t stop Ekko from continuing to speak his mind. “What’s so hard about telling me what you saw!?”
“How many times do I have to tell you that it was nothing?”
“You can tell me a thousand times and I still won’t believe you-” the white haired boy rebutted, “because this isn’t you, (Y/N)!”
You weren’t sure for how long your back and forth ensued. Countless minutes of shouting back and forth, overlapping words, pleas to come clean, pleas to forget. This kind of situation wasn’t unfamiliar territory for the two of you. Ekko had a lot of weight on his shoulders, a lot of trauma he hadn’t yet faced, that he had pushed deep down to never be addressed. You understood, because you related. 
You both were there that night. You both witnessed the same act of monstrosity from the sworn enemy of your people’s leader. It was the very catalyst for the current occupation the both of you shared as leaders in a dwindling community, striving for peace and unadulterated existence while simultaneously fighting against the overwhelming clutch Silco’s grasp held on Zaun.
The woman you had become was because of that bastard's treachery and cruelty, who played a game that cost the lives of thousands. A woman of practicality, precision and calculated action. In this world there was very little room for emotion. Years ago, you wouldn’t gotten roughed up a little, but now, it got you a one-way ticket to the green, polluted waters of the desolate sewer system to be feasted on by the rats…and whatever other poor monstrosities that came from SIlco’s Shimmer.
Ekko knows this. Ekko knows all of it. Which is why he finds himself so frustrated that you won’t talk to him. It’s only in the midst of his grunting and growling that it clicks to him. A possibility as to why you acted out of such a practiced routine. Yet, he doesn’t know if he should rejoice about his revelation, or grow even more heated.
“You saw her.”
Three words that seemed to silence the world spilled from his lips in a breathy gasp. He knows he’s right when your lips come together in a tight line, and for the first time since the confrontation was initiated, your eyes divert from his.
You saw her.
“You saw her, didn’t you?” He asks, but is met with silence once again.
The topic of Jinx was always a sensitive one. Ekko may have been able to fool himself into detachment from the blue haired girl, shredding whatever hope he had left of recovering the old Powder who loved to go on runs with the two of you and made trinkets for your birthdays out of scrap metal and hard work. However, the same could not be said for you.
“(Y/N)-”
“So what if I did?” The rebuttal is sharp tongued and weighty, heavy with emotion, and Ekko knows what is inevitable to come.
“So what if I did see her, Ekko? What would you say?” You ask through gritted teeth, words strained as you feel the dam of emotions inside of you starting to overflow. “The same old shit you say all the time? That she’s gone and there’s no path of redemption for her? That she’s not worth saving?”
He’d never said such words aloud, but Ekko was guilty of thinking them, and to hear them verbalized tore open the same wound in his heart he’d patched up time and time again with each mention of the long lost friend.
“You may be able to let go, Ekko,” you grumble through gritted teeth, eyes watering over, and Ekko doesn’t know if its the sight of you crying or if it's the way the conversation has shifted that has him stilling, jaw clenched tightly, “but I can’t do that…I just can’t.”
And then, you left. And suddenly the unbearably thick summer air turned bitingly cold against Ekko’s skin as he watched you walk away. And as Ekko wipes down the length of his face, he knows there’s nothing much left for him to do but wait.
Wait until the air has become more bearable to breath. Wait until the tension has subsided. Wait until apprehension no longer clogs his stomach heavily, so that regrettable words would not be spoken.
Tumblr media
“Hey, I’ll be back in a bit.”
“Going to the market?”
“Yeah. Your bike needs a rotator chain, I’m gonna see if I can find one on the west end.”
One week. Seven days. 168 hours since you’ve last seen Ekko.
“Be careful out there. Silco’s goons have been making rounds again, and they aren’t sparing anyone in these parts.”
You don’t remember leaving the sanctuary. You just remember waking up on your friends couch after, according to them, was a rough and stormy night. You probably blacked out after your screaming match with him, and had an overwhelming desire to just get away. Your friend’s place was the only spot safe enough for you to crash at until you got your head straight.
Though, after seeing what you saw, could you really expect to snap back in a mere few hours?
“I’ll be good. They won’t touch me if they know what’s good for them.”
You left the tiny home of your friend, clad in the same clothes you had left in and a jacket you were quick to grab from their wardrobe. They lived pretty high up above the marketplace - the homes of the residents of Zaun were built into the underside of the extravagant Piltover, where everything was dark, dank, and cold. Layers upon layers of makeshift apartments stacked on top of one another for conservation of what little space the undercity did have.
Your hand grabbed the pole of the crossbridge that led from the side your friend’s apartment was to the other, and with expert precision, you maneuvered your way down the several levels and layers of homes connected by bridges of wood, metal and concrete.
Memories of parkouring as a little girl began to flutter into your mind. How you loved to best Ekko, the self proclaimed ‘King of Parkour’, at his own game. How Powder would tag along with you because she wanted to be with her friends-
Fuck, you weren’t suppose to think about her.
You were thankful your feet met the ground before more thoughts of Powder filled your mind, because if you had still been swinging from pole to pole and jumping from wood to metal, you’d surely lose your balance and come falling down the rest of the way. It was the effect the past had one you; and an unfortunate one at that.
It’s as if the second you find landing and start to walk in the direction of the marketplace, your ears catch wind of commotion to your left. The muffled grunting and clamoring causes you to pause and turn, peering out of your hood to see what was happening.
You’d always been the one to answer a call to action, so there wasn’t much surprise when you found yourself inching closer to the alleyway of which was producing the concerning sounds. It had only been ingrained into you from your youth, and had become second nature in the wake of Silco’s reign. Having a knack for helping people was a blessing and a curse, and while it got you into more trouble than you would like, the favors that you’d stocked up on came in handy.
Approaching the alleyway closer you could make out two figures standing - Silco’s men, no doubt, given the way they dress and the horrible filth they speak. Then there’s a person on the ground, wearing green.
Green was the color of the Firelights, and so naturally, you assumed the worst.
With your ankle pressing against the small knife hidden in your boot, you knew what had to be done. You crouched down behind a stack of crates and whistled, catching one of the perp’s attention. As they approached your direction for inspection, in one quick motion, you slipped the knife from your boot, took hold of the perp’s arm and knocked him into the wall. The blade made itself a home in his neck, muffling any yell he would’ve mustered out.
By the time you were finished, the second perp had been taken care of as well by the victim they were cornering. Revealing yourself from behind the stack of crates, your worries had been confirmed when getting a closer look at the coat the other person was wearing.
It was indeed a Firelights coat - a deep forest green to blend in with the shadows but still be distinguishable. The Firelight had been injured it seemed, as they held their arm close and with care, wincing with every movement of it that was made.
“Hey,” you called out to them, advancing closer to them as you did so, “you alright? Where’s your partner? You know if you’re patrolling you gotta be in pairs-”
“(Y/N)!” The Firelight gasps out in relief, confusing you. “Lieutenant- you’ve gotta help us! We were outnumbered- a-and got split up, they jumped us!- from every corner, we didn’t see them coming-”
“Hey, hey, hey,” You quickly soothing, grounding the obviously frightened soldier with reassuring hands on their shoulder, guiding them to breathe, “you have to slow down for me, and breathe so you can clearly-”
“-a-and it’s Ekko- Ekko, he got hurt-”
And in that moment, your world slows, and there’s an instant pit in your stomach that comes from thinking the worst. If Ekko of all people got taken out of commission, whatever that was going on was serious.
“...okay,” you start after your shock passes over you. As if a switch in your brain is flipped, and now you’re in fight mode, “you need to take me to where you all split from. Now.”
Your voice is commanding and stern, leaving no room for discussion. The Firelight, still holding his arm, nods at your command. As the two of you leave, you pick up the weapon that the second perp had been carrying on his back; it wasn’t anything compared to your sniper gun, but it would have to do.
According to the Firelight, the mission was to stop one of Silco’s Shimmer transports to a hotspot location known for distribution of the drug. The normal prep for such a mission was done properly, but there was an underestimation of power in numbers on Silco’s end. What’s more, a certain blue haired girl decided to make her presence known as well, and her erraticness threw everyone off square. To save face, Ekko commanded everyone to split up.
Which meant Ekko was alone, and hurt, and probably wallowing in some form of guilt, and that could not do. A guilty Ekko was not a functional one.
“We were over there when the fight started,” said the Firelight as the two of you stood on top of a roof overlooking the distribution post, “when he made the call, I saw him go east in the direction of the Last Drop. The two other soldiers went west, and I ran south.”
Two large, burly men, littered with tattoos and hardened by the streets, guarded a small cart covered with blue metal barrels, a strip of thick translucent plastic going down the side, showing the bright magenta liquid inside. Four more paced around the small clearing area, seemingly on the lookout for someone.
Six men within a ten yard radius of each other. If you were right, that cart held about thirty gallons of Shimmer. Tests done on the drug proved that it was highly flammable, which normally meant that with your sniper gun, setting the scene ablaze would be easy. But with a mere regular shotgun in your possession, you’d need an extra boost.
“Look in your pouch for me,” you direct to the Firelight soldier, “do you got any of those spark pouches?”
The Firelight uses his good arm to fish in his thigh pouch, producing a small, red sack of gunpowder. “What’re you thinking, Lieutenant?”
“We need to take these guys out while destroying that shipment in the process,” you explain, pointing towards the triangular shape of trajectory between each of the guardsmen and the cart, “the spray of the Shimmer is about fifteen yards, which will cover more than enough of the ten yard radius those guys are in. I need you to throw that spark pouch right in between the two guards on my signal. When I shoot, it’s gonna be enough Shimmer spray to kill them…but we gotta move fast to avoid it.”
It wouldn’t have been the first time someone looked at you crazy for such a straightforward plan. You’d garnered many such stares since you first began in the Firelight ranks. There was a method to your madness, as Ekko would put it, and there had never been a reason for anyone to not trust your judgements or plans. Despite the Firelight’s initial questioning of the credibility of such a plan, there was no choice but for him to go along.
The two of you backed up as much as possible on the rooftop to make it easier for a clean getaway. Once in position, you pulled out the gun you had acquired earlier, checking the magazine for sufficient bullets. Then, you took aim at the center of the cart, inhaling a deep breath to steady your hand and focus your vision.
At one, the world began to slow when your aim focussed steadily.
At two, you prepared your wrist for the recoil that would shock your hand.
At three, the Firelight soldier threw the spark pouch with expert precision. Not a second later, the shot from your gun rung out.
Tumblr media
The sight that Ekko wakes up to is a pleasant one compared to the week he’s had.
The sun is blinding through his makeshift sunroof. There’s a dull pain on his side, and a ringing in his ears that subsides the more his vision focuses. It’s a great contrast to what he thought he’d be seeing when he awoke, but he welcomes the feeling of home that washes over his being.
His eyes turn to his side where he sees you, sitting next to his bed. His jacket is thrown loosely over your shoulders, and in your hands, you twirl a piece of folded paper. His eyebrows furrow at the sight; he isn’t expecting you to be here with him.
Noticing that he’d woken up, you focus your attention on the injured man. The folded letter is placed on the crate that acts as a nightstand next to Ekko’s bed, and you lean forward onto the bed to get closer to him. His hair is disheveled, locs splayed everywhere on his pillow and on his face. His abdomen is bandaged tightly, yet even the white gauze leaves little to the imagination. And the sun shines on his cocoa colored skin, contrasting against your own as you slip his larger hand into your own.
You needed to feel him, and be thankful that he was here.
“Hey, you,” Ekko croaks out, voice raspy and patchy from what you can only assume was yelling and sleep.
“Hi,” you mutter out against the back of his hand, lips pulled into a tight smile.
“Thought you were still mad at me.”
“”m not mad,” you mumble, shaking your head, “just glad you're okay.”
The fact that you’re not being snarky with him tells Ekko that there’s something weighing on you; something that’s not remorse for your absence, but something deeper. His eyes travel over to the nightstand, falling onto the letter once again.
“What’s that?” He points out, curiosity filling his patchy voice.
There’s a moment’s pause before you speak again, your voice somber and emotional; “It’s….what I saw.”
What I saw can only be referring to the incident a week prior, Ekko determines. His eyes turn back to you, his hand giving yours a gentle tug towards him, gesturing for you to climb into bed with him. He meets little resistance, and takes a little pride in how easily you slip into his side, molding against his form as you were made to. His arm wraps around your shoulders, helping you hide in the crook of his neck; a much needed escape you’ve wanted to indulge in for a while.
“Deal with it later,” he mumbles against your hairline, “jus’ stay with me.”
Resting against Ekko’s broad chest, you thought on his words. Knowing yourself, dealing with things later wouldn’t be as productive as he’d hope. You’d want to forget the subject entirely, revert back to the same concealment as before. Knowing the both of you, it couldn't be dealt with later.
“It was her eyes, Ekko,” You mumbled into his shirt, prompting the darker male to turn his attention to you, “there was something in them, Ekko. I swear there was.”
Seeing Jinx on that night wasn’t what any of you had intended. She’d very scarcely shown her face on the streets of Zaun, presumably at SIlco’s behest. As mad of a kingpin he was, he himself couldn’t deny the deranged nature the blue haired girl had. And yet, when she showed signs of stability, he seemed to allow her off on transportation missions at the very least. And it just so happened that after six years, a week ago was the first time you’d seen Jinx since the night Vander died.
When you saw those blue eyes, dulled and lifeless, it hurt. Hurt to know that the possibility of Powder truly being gone was higher than what you’d let yourself believe. Hurt to know that you would never have your friend back, and that there would never be any chance of recovering the family you’d list all those years ago.
You’d seen her, and then, she saw you. And when she did, the world slowed. And for a second, when your eyes caught each other, a flash of something came across her eyes that caused your body to react against your well-trained judgment. It was as if she had recognized you and felt a sense of…wistfulness.
Though it didn’t reflect anything of the like when she raised her gun towards you, and you had no choice but to act before she could.
“There was a moment where I…thought she recognized me,” you muttered, “but then she….raised her gun to me.”
Ekko’s chest stuttered as he released a shaky breath to your words. There’s a pause before you speak again, “Is it easier for you to just…believe she’s really gone?”
A long moment of silence passes…”Yeah, it is.”
Ekko has always thought about Jinx. It’s hard not to when her presence can change any of his plans on a whim, since he has people to protect and her mentality is as finicky as a time bomb. But Powder…he hates to think about her.
“If she was gone from the start,” Ekko mutters through a voice crack, “it means there wasn’t a chance to save her in the first place. Means I never failed in saving her, I guess.”
Your hand reaches up to caress Ekko’s face, jaw clenched tight from his own words, and when you look into his eyes, you can see the vulnerability he tries so hard to hide when talking about the blue haired girl. There was beauty in it, you always told him, though you never thought he truly believed you when you said it. Ekko was never given much grace to be vulnerable, to be a boy. He’d found that in you; so you knew it took a lot for him to even admit as such to your question.
You don’t really get to be a kid after watching the people you love die in front of you. Even the ones who still walk the land with another soul in their bodies.
You press a kiss onto his lips; gentle, affirming, and grounding. Your thumb runs the length of his cheekbones and  you find comfort in the crevice of his neck once again. When Ekko relaxes against your hold, you release a breath of air, and think that perhaps it’s best that you adopt his way of thinking as well.
Powder was gone, but at least in this hell, you had each other.

42 with Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn and Sevika?
(Hey, this may have been messed up a bit but I tried! Here ya go. Enjoy!)
S/O WITH A CHILD
EKKO
Tumblr media
Ekko didn't really think about kids
He didn't really have time, he had you and he needed to think about the firelights
So the topic of kids never came up
And you both were still barely adults yourself, so there was time
But he always did love seeing you playing with the kids in the hideout
Thought it was nice and that you brought them something they missed
The kids loved you, you would play with them all the time
Ekko would watch all the time, joining in sometimes as you all ran around like mad men
Every kid there was a little joy to you all
But two stuck out from the rest
Jamie and Lena
They were 6 years old twins
They were taken off the streets, their parents abandoned them.
They were terrified, the masks scared them and so did the hoverboards
But they clung to you as you reminded them of their older sister they had lost
And they loved Ekko, they thought he provided comfort and safety for them
Which was rare
And both you and Ekko loved them back
And Ekko didn't know what it was, but seeing you taking care of them made him just fall in love all over again
Ekko walked out the dark tunnel, coming back from a mission as he waved bye to his friends and walked over to the tree. 
He stopped for a minute, meeting up with Scar as he waved at his little niece his friend held.
"Where's Y/n?" Ekko asked, Scar was about to answer before Ekko heard laughing. It was yours, but mixed in with some others.
He turned around, confused before his eyes caught your hoverboard zipping past him. 
He watched as you stood on the hoverboard, Jamie hugging your waist as you tossed Lena in the air.
The girl laughed, falling down as you turned the corner and went back for her, catching her in your arms.
You placed her in front of you, the girl sitting on the board and holding in as you let Jamie hop on your back. 
The boy laughed as you did tricks on the board, circling the tree and going upside down, sometimes even sideways and almost tipping you all over.
You finally came down from the air, laughing as Jamie stumbled off the board while giggling. 
You picked up Lena, the girl blowing your messed up hair out your face as you laughed.
You tickled thw girl's stomach, the small one laughing as she tried to fight you off. Jamie then came running at your leg, clinging to it as you laughed.
"Jamie!" You yelled, lifting up your leg as he laughed and clung on. 
You eventually stumbled to the floor, holding Lena in your lap as Jamie stood up and hugged your neck.
Ekko watched with a fond smile, tilting his head a bit as he watched you all giggling like a small family. How did he get so lucky?
You looked at him, making eye contact and smiling as you waved him over. Jamie and Lena saw, smiling as they ran up to Ekko and almost tackled him to the ground.
Ekko picked them up, one on each arm as you came walking over. You gave him a kiss on the cheek, rolling your eyes as Jamie and Lena made exaggerated gagging noises.
Ekko laughed, smiling at all three of you. 
He was really lucky, he had you guys.
VI
Tumblr media
Vi loved you, because of how sweet and snarky you were
You first met her when you guys were young
You were around her age, 15 
She was running around the lanes, looking for Powder
She had run off, saying she was going to a friends house but she wasn't with Ekko
And Powder didn't have any friends
So Vi went looking for her
And she found her
But with you, the girl was on your back as you listened to her rambling
You were smiling, joking with her sister when everyone would usually ignore the small girl except Vi
So she was grateful you were so nice to her sister
That's what initially drew her to you
But you were always sweet to anyone
Especially kids
She wasn't used to anyone being so sweet, especially in the lanes and to kids
It was always chaos, she didn't think she would ever have to care for anyone but herself after what happened the night everyone died
Until she found you again, but you had someone with you
Vi sat in your guys' apartment, on the couch as she felt her joints crack after walking around all day. And getting into a few small fights, not that they would ever tell you.
She looked up, hearing the door hinges creaking as the door opened and heard your voice. 
"We're back!" You called out, Vi smiling as she heard the small pattering of feet against the hardwood floors. In came Violet, your daughter.
When Vi had found you, you worked at the brothel. You got into some things after it all happened, found a douche guy and got pregnant.
You didn't love the guy, just after Vi left or died as you thought you wanted to feel love again. 
But you didn't, you ended up trying to replace her but you couldn't replace the irreplaceable.
And he left, and when Violet was born you gave her the name of the one you lost. Vi was happy, but also shocked when she met your daughter.
Violet was happy to meet the pink haired woman her mother talked so much about, loving Vi before she had even met her.
Violet jumped on the couch, into Vi's lap as Vi smiled at her and ruffled her hair. "How's your day been?" She asked, messing with the clip in Violet's hair she had done that morning.
"Good, mama got me candy!" Violet smiled, looking up at Vi, holding the candy up as the woman nodded her head. 
"She wouldn't stop begging for it." You laughed, sitting on the other side of Vi as she wrapped her arm around your shoulder. 
"Sounds eventful." She chuckled, kissing the side of your head as Violet climbed off her lap.
She laid down on her back, her head in Vi's lap now as she rambled on about your guys' day and offering Vi her candy.
Vi smiled, enjoying every moment. She loved these, eventually you all drifted off to sleep, in your own small world. She loved her little family. 
Hopefully Aunt Jinx will visit soon, she hadn't seen her niece in a week. The longest she had been without Violet.
JINX
Tumblr media
Jinx only knew you after a few years of her transformation from Powder to Jinx
You worked for Silco
Not a hitman or anything, he hired you to watch after Jinx
Essentially a bodyguard
Jinx hated it
She tried to get rid of you in as many ways that she could think of
She hated being watched over, like a child, it reminded her of Vi
And she hated thinking of Vi
Her big sister who left her
And you hovering over 24/7 like a babysitter, like Vi did, made her hate you
She wanted to get rid of you, she did it before she could do it again
So she followed you one night to your apartment
Wasn't the best but she was confused once you didn't go home after being let go from your shift
She followed you, freezing upon what she saw
You were knelt down in front of a small child
Then she heard the little one, no older than four years old saying "Sissy"
She froze, she finally understood why you reminded her of Vi
Because in a way, you were Vi, the older, protective sister
She stood in her place even after you left with your little sister
After that day she didn't hate you anymore
You were confused at that, thinking she was planning something
But after time went on you just accepted it
Jinx was actually nice to you, well the best Jinx could
And after a long time, you started dating
She loved it
But she never spoke about your sister, you told her about the kid but she never really brought it up unless you did
She thought she would never have to meet her
But she was wrong
"Hey, Jinx!" You called out, Jinx waving over her shoulder as she worked at her desk. 
She smiled, hearing your voice but sat up confused when she heard another pair of footsteps with yours.
She heard a small giggle, freezing a bit as she turned around on her chair to see you walking over to her with your sibling on your back.
"Sorry, Nani can't be left alone until I can drop her off with Sevika." You apologize, the small girl peeking over your shoulder at Jinx.
Jinx slowly nodded her head, hesitant and a bit uncomfortable around the child. She didn't hate her, she just didnt wanna mess anything up and had never really been around children.
"Hi, Miss Jinx!" Your little sister smiled, sliding off your back and bouncing up to the woman.
"...Hi?" Jinx waved, staring at the girl as she tilted her head. Why wasn't she scared of her? Her name was pretty well known for chaos.
"What's this?" Nani asked, picking up a bomb off the desk and poing at the pin as your eyes widened.
"Nani-" you were cut off though by Jinx taking the bomb quickly from your sister.
She gave a small giggle, nervous a bit but finding humour in the situation. 
"Maybe not that one," she stated, humming as she looked on her desk before her eyes lit up.
"Here! Play with this!" She laughed, stuffing a remote into your sister's hand as she looked at it curiously. "What's this?" She asked, pointing at a button.
"Press it!" Jinx beckoned her, your sister smiling and pressing the button causing yellow, pink and blue sparks to fly all over the room.
Your sister looked up at the sparks, her eyes reflected with the lights as she jumped up and down with excitement.
"Again! Again!" She smiled, Jinx nodding her head and standing up as she took the small girl in her arms.
"Forget Sevika! You're stuck with me now!" She laughs, your sister nodding her head as she wrapped her arms around her neck. You smiled at them.
Walking up to them you gave Jinx a kiss on the cheek, the girl smiling as your sister pushed your face away from her.
"No! Mine now." She stated, hugging Jinx closer to her as Jinx's face grew smug. You shook your head, smiling.
Jinx was happy for now, she was content at this moment. Your sister wasn't so bad. Hopefully she wouldn’t ruin it.
CAITLYN
Tumblr media
Caitlyn liked kids
She thought they were adorable with a lot of curiosity
They reminded her of herself when young
She also had a younger sister she would take care of
It was to help her parents and because she loved her little sister
Her name was Briana, she was nine years old
Her parents had her when she was a bit older
She didn't mind though
She also met you after you had found her sister when she got lost
She thanked you heavily as she was worried to death for the girl
When you guys started dating her sister was around a lot
She at first didn't know what you thought of it, she was sorta nervous
But you never said anything about it
So she thought you liked her sister
But she always was bugged never having confirmation
Until one day she found you guys asleep
Caitlyn sighed, opening the door to your guys' apartment and hooked her coat over the rack hook.
She rolled her shoulders, sighing as she felt her shoulder pop. She went towards the hall, confused to where you were because she would usually be met with you as soon as she came home.
She got to your guys' bedroom, opening the door before freezing in the door frame. 
She smiled after a moment, seeing the sight of her sister curled up on your side as you had an arm around her. 
The blanket covering you guys was thrown half off the bed, both of you leaning against the headboard.
She shook her head, leaning against the door frame as she admired your sleeping face.
How did she get so lucky?
SEVIKA
Tumblr media
She had a kid of her own
Sienna, she was four years old, she never planned on kids but somehow she ended up with one
But she never regretted her daughter
She loved her and she would do anything for her
That's why she was so stand offish towards you when you were first hired by Silco
It was because her daughter hung around the bar a lot with her while she worked
It was because she knew she could give her the best protection, better than anyone else
But you got closer to Sevika
Not on your own, but because of Sienna
Sevika's boots thud against the wood of the stairs going down to the last drop. She had talked to Silco just now, a new mission was coming up and she had to go.
She hated those. She had to find someone to watch Sienna because even if she wanted to stay with her, she couldn't because this one was too dangerous.
She finally got to the last steps, looking around the bar. It was a slow day, nobody really coming in except for a few people. She finally heard the small giggle of her daughter.
Her giggle mixed in with the music in the bar and the stragglers of the bar's conversations.
She shook her head, a small smile gracing her features. A smile only for her daughter, she heard footsteps on the wood, confused as she looked up and saw Sienna.
But she wasn't alone, in the middle of the room you were with her. 
She was on your hip, you spinning her around and dipping her to the music as her little carefree giggle melted her mothers heart.
You then set her down, twirling her around and crouching down to let her spin you the best she could.
Sienna then looked at Sevika, her eyes visible lighting up as she saw her mother. She smiled, waving her mom over as Sevika hesitated before walking over.
You looked at Sevika surprised, smirking at the woman as you silently held a hand out to her. She scoffed amusedly, taking the challenge and taking your hand as she spun you once.
You laughed. "Wow, Sevika knows how to dance?" You teased, the woman rolling her eyes and shaking her head with her own, dumb smirk on her face.
Sienna giggled, her plan had worked. She saw the way her mama looked at you. And she loved you too.
She threw herself full force at you and hugged your waist. 
You laughed as you bent down and swayed back and forth with her. The girl on the tips of your feet as you helped her follow your step.
Sevika watched, amused. Her eyes follow you and her daughter with an unfamiliar feeling in her chest. 
Maybe you would watch Sienna for her. Would give her a chance to talk to you more.

Magic User Whump - Part 2
Part 1
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
"He's exquisite."
The bandit chief, a hulking man named Vorstag, took Ventis's chin roughly in his hand, tilting his face up. Ventis flinched away from the unexpected touch but Vorstag's grip was unrelenting as he turned his face to make the iridescent crystalline scales embedded in his skin flash in the dim firelight.
"Never seen a genasi with horns before, I reckon," their original captor said proudly. "Boy wasn't easy to grab, either. There's some powerful storm magic in that blood."
"Draconic, I imagine." Vorstag turned to adresses Onthyes and Shayah for the first time since the three of them had been thrown, bound, into the dirt at his feet. "Is that right? Is your little friend here carrying dragon blood?"
Onthyes glared at the chief, not even attempting to speak through the gag in his mouth. Shayah, although she wasn't gagged, stayed silent as well.
Vorstag turned his attention away from them with a shrug at the lack of response. "Can't decide if I'd rather sell him or keep him to myself. The other two will make fine slaves, but this one... You brought me something real special tonight, Mugg."
Their captor, Mugg, grinned with satisfaction.
"Put them away. I'll decide what to do with the mage in the morning."
Minutes later, Onthyes, Shayah, and Ventis were locked in an iron-barred cell deep in the underground tunnels of the bandit's hideout. Onthyes's and Shayah's bindings had been removed and Onthyes's mouth was freed from the gag, but Ventis remained gagged, blindfolded, and tightly bound with chains that pulsed with glowing red runes.
Onthyes and Shayah made quick work of removing Ventis's gag and blindfold.
"You okay?" Onthyes asked softly as he peeled the damp cloth away from his friend's eyes.
Ventis blinked slowly, squinting in the torchlight after being blinded for so many hours.
"I-" the sorcerer's words were cut off with rough coughs. Onthyes wished he'd been allowed to keep his waterskin. "I'm fine."
He clearly wasn't. He was pale and trembling, and his lilac colored eyes were red rimmed from crying. Onthyes could see him biting the inside of his cheek the way he always did when he was trying not to show how much pain he was in.
"Do the chains still hurt?" Shayah asked, moving around behind Ventis to examine them. She cursed in orcish as she answered her own question. "Your wrists are burnt."
"Trust me, it feels worse than it looks," Ventis muttered with a hollow laugh. "My very essence is being siphoned out of me."
"I'll get them off of you. Just hold on, breezy."
Ventis sat still, letting Shayah work behind his back, but she barely managed to pull on the chains before he was stifling cries of pain and twisting away from her.
"That's hurting him!" Onthyes said quickly, reaching out to steady Ventis. The genasi pressed his head to Onthyes's shoudler, hiding his face.
Shayah stopped, holding her hands up in surrender. "I barely touched them."
"Don't bother," Ventis panted. "They must be enchanted. They're not coming off without magic, and I'm fresh out it seems."
Shayah sat back with a huff. Onthyes knew how cagy she got in situations like this, and he was starting to feel the same way.
They settled in, getting as comfortable as they could in the cold cell. Ventis succombed to exhaustion quickly with his head in Onthyes's lap and Onthyes's fingers carding through his hair.
Onthyes and Shayah found it harder to fall asleep, each on high alert. 
“We have to protect him,” Onthyes said into the quiet of the night. “We can’t let them separate us.”
Shayah hummed. “We’re warriors, you and I. We can take this kinda shit. He’s putting on a brave face but I don���t think our little freak of nature can take much more of this. This is pretty far off from the silver spoon he grew up with.”
“He won’t last a second without us.”
Onthyes hated admitting that. He was always telling Ventis how much stronger he has gotten in the past months, how valuable he was to their little party, but the reality was that he was somewhat naive and didn’t necessarily have the strongest tolerance for pain. 
It was just their luck that they would be dragged away from Ventis by morning.

Champions with Jinx's Graffiti Tag
Tumblr media
I got carried away in an older post talking about where Jinx's hidden symbol shows instead of her and Viktor's future partnership. I've decided to make a separate about to make the list more coherent. Between these two symbols the monkey one gets used the most but her signature 'X' is still present, but more sneakily included on champions rather than objects of destruction. The show likes to make them all slightly different from the original.
Tumblr media
The first one I found was on Vi, for her Jinx's symbol is upside down on Vi's prison uniform. Vi's makes me think these 'X's only exist for the audience because when Caitlyn reads out Vi's prison number she doesn't say X516, she just says 516.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next is Ekko. Jinx's symbol is seen on his loc cuffs the correct upright position, but the top is drawn halfway connected, almost to look like Ekko's hourglass. Ekko and Jinx have symbols so similar that at first I thought I was reaching. But then I realized that the Firelight hideout is filled with complete hourglasses, so why is this one on his person different. Also, I included his in game profile to show that it was a design choice.
Tumblr media
Then there's Viktor, Jinx's symbol is depicted sideways at a 90 degree angle within what may be a drawing of a simplified Hexcore. I've already talked at length about what I think the tarot shot is foreshadows for next season. And I even had another post about why Jinx's symbol is depicted within his grasp. Out of the 3 that were present in show, only with Viktor has Jinx's not been incorporated into clothing, and the two have never directly met yet. I know Jinx sent a rocket his way, but she blew up and robbed Jayce twice and he doesn't get her tag.
Bonus Appearance:
This wasn't a part of the show, but when the Arcane skins released on League, Jinx's tag appeared on Caitlyn's gag animation where it's implied she sabotaged Cait's rifle. Guess Jinx knows where the armory is.

Hii! So it's my first time requesting from you and I'm not sure if you'd write for just one particular character or just a whole group of them but! If you could write a one shot or headcanons for Ekko (arcane) with a fem reader who's on her period and has really bad cramps and gets nauseous while on it? I'm on mine and it's one of the worst ones I've experienced so far 😭 10/10 do not recommend. {just found your page and am loving it, your an absolute amazing writer <33}
Tumblr media
Ekko is a very sweet and supportive boyfriend, always making time for you no matter how busy he is. Sometimes it's hard to think of him as a young man, given how hard he tries to take care of everyone and give them everything they need.
Ekko is always prepared for your period, maybe even more than you are. He always checks that you have enough sanitary pads, painkillers, a heating pad and the likes. He tries to get as much of his duties done as possible so he can at least keep you company and take care of you during the first couple of days.
The two of you live together in the Firelights hideout and Ekko never fails to make you feel loved. The first time you accidentally bled through the sheets of your shared bed, you cried and apologized profusely while Ekko tried to comfort you. He assured you that it's okay, he's not disgusted and ushered you to shower and change into comfier clothes while he washes the sheets.
So doting and careful, Ekko is never deterred by your mood swings or nausea. He cannot imagine the pain you must be going through. You were always there for him when the weight on his shoulders got too heavy and never failed to tend to his wounds, be it physical or mental ones.
He holds your hair when the nausea gets too much, keeps a heating pad on your lower stomach and gives you a gentle massage as you sleep. Helps you drink plenty of water, cuts up some fruit and gets you your favorite chocolate as snacks. Holds you as you cry out of frustration and pain, shushing you and caressing your hair soothingly. It's moments like these that break Ekko's heart, seeing his girlfriend in pain while he helplessly watches. The least he can do is make sure you don't feel alone.
(nsfw warning)
If you think having sex could help with your cramps, Ekko is glad to help. Whether you want to go all the way or just him performing oral sex on you, he doesn't mind either. He puts a towel under your hips, makes sure you feel warm and comfortable and gets to work. Ekko relishes your breathy moans and the way he can see your body relaxing as he works on you, he's happy to help any way he can.
Overall, an extremely sweet and doting boyfriend, who is ready to pamper you and treat you like a princess whenever needed.
a/n: as a pcos girlie, i totally understand. i hope you're feeling better and thank you for sending in the request <3 take care of yourself, sweetie

Dragging your Arcane S/O into the rain
EKKO
Tumblr media
You loved the rain ever since you were little
And Ekko knew this
So he wouldn't complain even when you guys were younger when you would drag him outside
Rainy, stormy or haling you dragged him outside
And he was always up for the ride
He also had a small calendar that would show what days it would rain
So he knew when to prepare for you to come bursting in your room all happy
"Ekko!" You shouted, opening the door as he jumped a bit. "It's raining!" You smiled, Ekko nodding his head as he stood up.
"Already on it." He smiled, you going up to him and grabbing his hand. "Come on!" You dragged him, pulling him down the stairs of the hideout.
"I'm coming, Y/n!" He chuckled, almost tripping on a step as you guys arrived at the bottom of the tree.
"What are you doing?" He asked, watching as you began splashing in the puddles. "Hurry up before it stops!" He shook his head, smiling as he made his way over to you.
What he didn't expect was for you to splash him, he stood there shocked for a moment as he felt his pant legs grow wet and his legs get cold.
"Really?" He chuckled, you proudly nodding your head. "Okay then." He splashes you back, laughing as you try to block it.
It caused an all out war, both of you splashing each other while running around as some firelights and kids joined you.
All around you heard laughing, splashes of puddles before yelping as Ekko picked you up over his shoulder, spinning you around as you giggled.
VI
Tumblr media
She liked rain, but she didn't like it at the same time
She liked how happy you were when it was raining
She also liked the smell
But she didn't like how cold it was and how wet she would get when outside
But nonetheless, she let you drag her around if it made you happy
But she what she wouldn't let you do was when coming inside sit on anything till you changed
Which usually qued her sitting under dozens of blankets
"You're crazy." Vi shook her head at you, standing under a stall in the plaza as she watched you run around like a child.
"Come on, Vi!" You beckoned her over, Vi shaking her head at you. "I'm good." She stated, rolling your eyes as you headed towards her.
"Whatcha doin?" She asked, dragging her out the stall as she tried to cover her face with her arm. She then froze, cold water hitting her as she looked up to see your smirking face.
"Oh, it's on." She smirked, your eyes growing wide before shrieking and running away with her on your tail.
"Y/n!" She yelled, trapping you before you went around her, she grabbed your arm but it just ended with you both in a pile in more water.
"Why do I let you do this to me?" She asked, looking at you under her as you looked so proud. "Because you love me." You smuggly stated, nudging her cheek as she scoffed amusedly.
"Yeah, poor me." She flinched, you had flicked her forehead with your finger. "Hey!" She swatted at your hand, climbing off you and sitting in the water.
"Poor you."
"You're lucky I love you."
"No. You're lucky I love you."
"You're right."
CAITLYN
Tumblr media
She didn't really like rain
It affected her day to day schedule
But she knew how much you loved the rain
So she made a compromise
You would play in the rain like a mad men
You also got to drag her in it for a bit
And after a while she got to go inside and make tea and sit in a blanket
You gladly accepted
"Cait!" You yelled, the woman sighing as she knew what this was. She heard the pattern on the windows, she glanced at you and saw your stringy hair that was damp.
"It's raining, isn't it, love?" She asked, putting her book down as you nodded your head and pulled her up from her seat.
"Yeah, come on!" You yelled, the woman following after you as you pulled her into the rain. She immediately felt the water dripping into her hair and down the side of her face.
"Are you sure we won't get sick?" She asked, worried as you waved your hand at her. "We'll be fine. Stop being a worry bug." 
"If I don't worry, who else will?" She asked, you shrugged as she shook her head at you with a smile.
"Come on!" You said, leading her over to a puddle and splashing in it as she moved slightly as it splashed her leg. "Oh! Y/n!" She laughed, you trippin in the water.
You grabbed her hand, the woman yelping as you took her down with you into the water. 
"Yeah, we're definitely going to be sick." She laughed, pushing some wet hair out of your face as you smiled at her.
She pulled you up off the ground, you immediately going back to the puddles with her following along. Maybe getting sick would be worth your smiling face. 
JINX
Tumblr media
She was usually the one pulling you into the rain
She liked it, it was something she couldn't destroy or ruin
Even if it held some bad memories
Even if you liked it she liked it 10× more
Even if she got sick after it all, she was usually sick with you taking care of her
So it was a win-win situation
She liked how you would usually pull her into you, swaying to the sound of the rain falling down
Even if it was loud she could only hear your heartbeat, the world going quiet
"Baby!" Jinx yelled, popping her head through your room door and smiling as she already saw you putting on a jacket and your shoes.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Get dressed!" You state, throwing a jacket that hit her in the face as you winced. You smiled though when she began to giggle and put the jacket on. 
"Okay, all done!" She yelled, grabbing your hand and quickly pulling you along outside. "Hey!" She yelled, laughing as you splashed her with water.
"That's all you got?" She asked, you were confused until she splashed you with a bigger wave and laughed. You smiled, picking her up as she yelped and spun her around.
She clung to you, laughing but trying not to fall before you finally let her down. She hugged you, you wrapped your arms around her as she began to sway you both to the rain.
She smiled, closing her eyes as she heard your heartbeat and felt like the world was fading away.
Yeah, she loved the rain

I believe Jinx knew that Ekko was the leader of the Firelights all along because she wasn’t surprised during their fight scene at the bridge and even referred to him as “the boy saviour”, which is a dig at what the Firelights do.
I feel like they probably had a confrontation sometime during the timeskip. Ekko probably tried to get her to come with him, but she refused.
I do wonder if she told Silco she knew the identity of the Firelights’ leader though… It makes sense if he knew, but they just never figured out where their hideout is given their lack of hoverboards.
