INT - EKKO’S BEDROOM - TWILIGHT

Ekko hums a soft and romantic melody as he looks over blueprints at his desk. He turns on a lamp as the sun continues to set outside his window.

Ekko turns his head towards a small, folded up piece of paper lying next to him. He picks it up and unfolds the note. It’s a letter from his old childhood best friend. A pink lipstick kiss is smeared on the page.

His gaze lifts to the window. Heavy snow is falling. Ekko lights a lantern and dresses warmly for the cold weather, tucking the note into his pocket.

EXT - FIRELIGHT BASE - NIGHT

Ekko carefully scans the courtyard below. It’s scarce. Most of the Firelights have gone to sleep. Ekko sighs in relief. Hopefully he won’t get caught sneaking out tonight.

Ekko rides his hoverboard up into the glistening snow storm and disappears into one of the tunnels that leads outside the base.

EXT - THE FISSURES - NIGHT

Ekko emerges into the heart of Zaun and enjoys a peaceful ride through the snow storm. He arrives at the fissures and rests his hoverboard up against a rock next to the toxic river. A strong gust of wind extinguishes his lantern.

Ekko relights the lantern and tosses the match in the river. His breath catches as he takes in the silhouette of a hooded figure in the distance. Ekko’s gaze softens lovingly as he slowly makes his way down the riverbank.

The cloaked figure walks towards Ekko. Jinx lowers her hood, pulling her long braids out from beneath the cape. Large clusters of snowflakes land in her hair.

Ekko lowers his hood, coming to a stop in front of her.

Ekko: “It’s good to see you.”

Jinx: “I could say the same to you. It’s a beautiful night out, isn’t it?”

Ekko admires Jinx’s beauty as she gazes up at the sky.

Ekko: “Yeah. It’s gorgeous.”

Jinx offers Ekko her hand and Ekko takes it. Ekko gets lost in Jinx’s eyes as she guides him towards a large, toxic waterfall.

The two slip behind the waterfall, emerging into a large system of caves.

INT - CAVE - NIGHT

Ekko sets the lantern down on the cold cave floor. He takes hold of Jinx’s arms and lowers them both gently to the ground. Jinx holds onto Ekko tightly, trying to fight off tears. She can’t tell if they are tears of joy or tears of sadness.

Ekko looks deep into Jinx’s eyes and cups her face with his hands. His gaze lowers to her lips. The two surge forwards desperately, crashing their lips together. Jinx wraps her arms around Ekko’s shoulders, pulling him as close as she can.

Ekko: “Jinx, I’ve missed you. I missed you so much.”

Jinx: “Don’t get ahead of yourself. I missed you more.”

Jinx smiles at his words as Ekko lowers her down to the ground and hovers over her body, covering her face and neck with kisses. Jinx grips onto his back as Ekko captures her mouth once more.

The two are left panting, both deeply aroused. Ekko decides now is not the right time to take things further as it’s far too cold outside. He lies down next to Jinx, throwing both of their cloaks over the two of them. He snuggles up next to Jinx, craving her love and warmth.

Ekko: “I wish that we could stay here. It hurts every time I have to leave. When I’m with you, I feel like I’m at home. It’s like the whole concept of the Firelights just drifts away. I can forget about my responsibilities and just be here with you.”

Jinx: “What if we found an ancient spell book?”

Ekko: “What?”

Jinx: “I might sound ridiculous but imagine if we found a spell that could alter our reality. We wouldn’t have to daydream anymore. We wouldn’t have to sneak out in order to see each other. We could finally be together.”

Ekko: “That would be amazing. I could wake up next to you every day.”

Jinx: “Yeah. We could live together.”

Ekko takes off his gloves and runs his fingers gently down Jinx’s arm. His hand brushes over several small scars and Ekko frowns, recalling how he and Jinx constantly fight one another.

Ekko leans down and kisses each scar. Jinx gazes up at him longingly. She sits up and carefully removes her gloves and her arm warmer, revealing more scars.

Jinx reaches for her top. Ekko holds his breath.

Jinx: “Can I trust you, Ekko?”

Ekko swallows and nods with certainty.

Ekko: “Yes.”

Jinx undoes her top and covers her chest, turning around to reveal the deep scars that rest across her upper back. She shivers at Ekko’s touch.

Ekko: “Did I give you any of those?”

Jinx: “I don’t remember.”

Ekko: “Oh.”

Jinx: “Ekko, you have scars too.”

Ekko: “I do. A lot of them. And many of those scars are from your bullets. I had to start wearing a bulletproof vest in order to protect myself. I don’t think you realize just how many times you’ve come close to killing me. I had to have surgery once in order to remove bullets from my stomach. Of course, during those missions I had my mask on. So you wouldn’t have known it was me. But you’ve shot me before. Many times.”

Jinx’s eyes widen in horror, unable to process what Ekko is saying. Mylo taunts Jinx in her head, screaming that she almost lost him over and over again.

Jinx covers her ears and tears spill down Ekko’s cheeks.

Ekko: “Jinx, are you okay?”

Jinx: “I almost killed you.”

Ekko: “That’s not important right now. Come here.”

Jinx engulfs Ekko in a hug. He rocks her back and forth.

Ekko: “I’m okay. I’m alive. You haven’t killed me. Not yet.”

Jinx: “I don’t want to kill you.”

Ekko: “I know.”

Jinx rests her ear above Ekko’s chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart.

Jinx: “Show me, Ekko. Show me where I hurt you. I want to see it for myself.”

Ekko pulls away from Jinx. He looks at Jinx nervously. He doesn’t want to scare her.

Jinx: “May I?”

Jinx gently takes the edge of Ekko’s coat.

Ekko takes a deep breath and nods. Jinx removes Ekko’s jacket and carefully takes off his tank top. Clusters of huge scars stretch across his abdomen and down his arms.

Jinx moves around to see the scars on Ekko’s back. Jinx covers her mouth, fighting off the urge to cry. She can’t stop the tears from falling. Ekko turns towards her and rests his forehead against hers.

Jinx: “I’m sorry! Ekko, I’m so sorry! I didn’t want to shoot you! I swear, I didn’t! I just didn’t know it was you!”

Ekko hugs her fiercely and runs his fingers through her hair. Jinx is confused. Why isn’t Ekko upset?

Ekko: “Part of that is on me. The Firelights wear masks because we don’t want to be recognized. We’re not heroes. We just want to help people recover from shimmer.”

Jinx: “Ekko, that’s a lie. You are a hero. If the Firelights are risking their lives to rescue people, those victims will see you as saviours. Don’t get me wrong, not everyone will view you that way. But those who have a successful recovery will not forget your kindness. You’ve always had a heart of gold. From the moment I met you, I knew that I could trust you. Because you were kind.”

Jinx kisses each of Ekko’s scars fiercely. She looks deep into Ekko’s eyes and slowly leans towards him. Ekko’s eyes flutter shut as Jinx closes the distance between them.

Jinx: “I love you, Ekko. I’m so sorry that I shot you. You don’t have to forgive me.”

Ekko: “I know that you’re sorry. And I love you too. I just wish that you didn’t leave me for Silco.”

Jinx kisses Ekko on the cheek.

Jinx: “Stay with me until sunrise.”

Ekko nods and pulls Jinx flush to his chest.

Ekko: “I will.”

The two settle down to sleep beneath their cloaks as the snow continues to fall outside. Jinx smiles as she doses off to the sound of Ekko’s heartbeat.

[laraaevans]

EXT - THE FIRELIGHT BASE - DAY

Ekko returns to the Firelight base with a small platoon of scouts and members of the search and rescue team. Everyone disperses to separate parts of the base.

Ekko removes his mask and pulls down his hood, resting his hoverboard up against the trunk of the tree.

Scar approaches him from behind.

Scar: “Ekko? Could I have a minute? There’s something I want to talk to you about. I didn’t want to be the one to bring this up but some of the Firelights have noticed a change in your behaviour. Ever since you brought Jinx back to the base you’ve been drifting away from us. I just wanted to check in on you. See how you’re doing. Is everything okay?”

Ekko can’t bring himself to face Scar. It was only a matter of time before people started to notice the change. Ekko laughs gently and sighs in defeat.

Ekko: “Do you want the honest truth, Scar? No, I’m not okay. There’s a lot on my mind right now. We have Piltover’s most wanted criminal in custody and war is on the horizon. It’s only a matter of time before enforcers are sent out into the lanes. We need to prepare for the worst. Day and night I lay awake, thinking about what’s going to happen next. I can’t predict the future, so naturally I am very stressed out!”

Scar: “Ekko, slow down. You’re rambling. Take a deep breath.”

Ekko closes his eyes, exhausted.

Ekko: “I’m sorry.”

Scar: “Don’t apologize. I understand.”

Ekko: “But do you though? Do you understand what’s at stake here? Everyone is at risk, Scar. I don’t want to throw the Firelights into danger, but at the same time I want to keep helping the citizens. Zaun will be in peril. There are so many decisions to make. I don’t know if I’m ready for all of that.”

Scar: “You don’t have to be. Ekko, if you need help you can always ask for it. Take some time off and relax for a bit. I can step in for you. You named me deputy when you were sixteen. I’ll happily oversee the base.”

Scar looks up at Ekko’s bedroom window, high within the branches of the tree.

Scar: “Why don’t you go and have a chat with your old friend?”

Ekko blushes furiously. He and Jinx are not friends anymore. He doesn’t know if they can ever be friends again.

Ekko: “She’s not my friend! How could you say that? Scar, Jinx killed Eve! She’s killed so many innocent people! She’s… she’s…”

A monster. Ekko can’t bring himself to say the words. Angry tears threaten to fall from his eyes. Ekko doesn’t believe that Jinx is a monster. He is lying to himself to protect his heart.

Ekko lowers his head in defeat, silently crying.

Scar: “You would’ve left her to die if you didn’t care about her, Ekko. I don’t know all the details but Jinx means something to you. I can see that. And you can lie to yourself all you want. It won’t change anything.”

Ekko: “Ugh! Damn it!”

Scar: “Go, Ekko. Something tells me that Jinx needs you as much as you need her.”

Ekko: “Never speak of this to anyone.”

Scar: “I won’t. You have my word.”

Ekko takes a deep breath and heads up the winding stairs to his bedroom.

INT - EKKO’S ROOM - DAY

Ekko enters his room to see Jinx sitting cross legged on the floor. Jinx’s eyes widen as he takes off his jacket and hangs it up on a small hook.

Jinx: “Ekko, you’re back. God, what took you so long? Do you know how long it’s been? I have been sitting here on my ass for two hours! Nothing to do! No one to talk to!”

Ekko offers her the ghost of a smile. He looks down to see the empty bowl of salad beside her and the empty cup of water. Ekko feels relieved knowing that she’s eaten.

Ekko: “I was out patrolling the lanes.”

Jinx: “Wow! That’s fun! I would’ve loved to join you!”

Ekko: “Why? So that you could murder innocent civilians in cold blood?”

Jinx: “No.”

Ekko shoots Jinx an angry look.

Ekko: “It’s good to see that you’re back to your normal self.”

Jinx: “I could say the same to you, boy saviour.”

Ekko rolls his eyes. He hates the nickname. He takes the bowl and the cup.

Ekko: “I’m glad that you’ve eaten. I hope you liked the salad. I prepared it for you myself.”

Jinx: “You did that for me? How sweet.”

Ekko: “Enough with the sarcasm. You should be grateful that I’m feeding you. If I were anyone else I would’ve let you starve to death. But I’m not that heartless.”

Jinx: “You seemed pretty heartless when you attacked me on the bridge.”

Ekko freezes.

Ekko: “I wonder why that is.”

Jinx’s stomach drops at Ekko’s words. She feels regret.

Jinx: “It’s always my fault, isn’t it? I’m Piltover’s most wanted! I’ve killed too many Firelights to count! I’m Silco’s fucking prodigy! He might be dead but I’m still here! I’m here, Ekko! You have an opportunity to kill me right now! Why are you holding back?”

Ekko: “Do you really want me to say it?”

Jinx: “Yes, I do!”

Ekko storms up to Jinx and looks deep into her eyes. It’s not the same. He’ll never see Powder’s grey eyes again.

Ekko: “Because I don’t want to. No, it’s not that. It’s because I can’t. I can’t kill you. Before you pulled that fucking bomb on yourself I caught a glimpse of my old best friend for the very last time! It broke my heart! Seeing you afraid! Seeing you smile at me! God forbid that I call you by your old name, but Powder, I thought you were gone for good.”

Jinx inhales sharply, heat spreading across her cheeks.

Jinx: “She is gone! Look at me! Do you see any trace of Powder? My eyes are fucking pink, Ekko! Powder’s not coming back! My name is Jinx!”

Ekko: “I know!”

Jinx recoils seeing tears streaming down Ekko’s face.

Ekko: “You might be alive, but somehow I still managed to lose you.”

Jinx: “You might a be a hero in the eyes of the Firelights, but you will never be a hero to me.”

Ekko: “I just wanted you to be happy! That’s all I ever wanted! I was in love with you! I don’t know if you ever knew that but it’s true! Why do you think I fought so hard to bring you back here when we were kids?”

Jinx gasps, utterly speechless. There’s no way. Ekko is lying. He doesn’t love her! He tried to kill her!

Jinx: “What? No. You don’t mean that. You’re lying! That’s all you ever do! Everyone lies to me!”

Ekko: “The only person who has ever lied to you is Silco. Jinx, I would never lie to you about my feelings. Even my old ones.”

Jinx’s heart shatters at his words. He doesn’t love her anymore. What changed? Jinx already knows the answer and it brings her to tears.

Jinx: “You were in love with me? Why?”

Ekko: “There are so many reasons.”

Ekko wipes away Jinx’s tears.

Jinx: “Tell me.”

Ekko: “Are you sure?”

Jinx nods with certainty.

Jinx: “Yes, Ekko. Tell me. I need to hear it from you.”

Ekko wipes away his tears and hesitantly wraps his arms around Jinx’s torso. Jinx buries her face in the crook of his neck, returning the embrace. Ekko can’t help himself. He presses kisses into Jinx’s neck.

Jinx gasps and closes her eyes, letting Ekko handle her the way he wants. Her head is spinning and it feels like she’s flying.

Jinx: “Ekko, tell me.”

Ekko: “I will. Just give me a minute.”

Slow burn romance prompts and tips

Slow burn romances are awesome but taking so much time for the people involved to realize they love each other can be exhausting for the people enjoying the piece of media.

To make things exiting you have to give the reader/audience reasons to enjoy the slowness of the romance and not strive to get to the point where it becomes canon.

In order to do this, your characters should be involved in the relationship (even if it's not romantic yet) and the audience should feel the reasons why this romance is going to happen.

Here are some tips and prompts on how to do it:

.

Make them bond

Show how they're unconsciously building their relationship by spending time together. Give them reasons to constantly seek companionship even if none of them is fully aware that they're in love.

Some prompts can be:

They have a common hobby they decided to explore together

They are involved in the same organization (volunteering, community service, defending human rights, local organizations about whatever, but if it's fantasy even thigs like a group of people with the same powers)

They have to work on a project (it can be about their work, education, hobbies, organizations they joined, bringing a dictator down, fighting aliens etc)

They have to take care of a mutual friend

They are in the same team of a competitive sport/field.

They bond over common past experiences

They are going to have the same experience (for example, they bond over the fact that they're going to move in the same town for external reasons)

Give them chemistry

Sexual chemistry is good, but it's not good in a slow burn romance. There are other types of chemistry, however, that can make your romance a lot more interesting:

Intellectual chemistry

Humor chemistry (they easily make the other-s laugh and be happier)

Habits/believes chemistry (they feel more connected by basing their lives on the same principles)

Love language chemistry

Theoretical sexual chemistry (they just view and live sexuality in the same way, more similar and linked to belief chemistry)

Make the audience understand the reasons they're in love

Love isn't merely based on logical reasons, but healthy relationships are based on them too. Chose some reasons for why they're going to be in love and develop them overtime.

They could be - but not limited to:

Great admiration for what other-s do

Cooperation and complicity

Trust and communication

Same life goals

Healthy emotional support

Same life philosophy

They feel good together

Sense of safety

Make it human

Even if relationships have to be based on principles that mustn't lack, like consent and other fundamental things, it's important to not write about perfect ™ relationships but make them good in a human way.

Give characters involved bad days for external reasons, give then some fear, misjudgment or just a moment when they miss their past.

Allow your characters to be good humans and not dreamy perfect partners.

Plus: make it clearly possible

Minorities are unrepresented in medias and often this can lead to a lack of diverse love stories. So when it comes to a slow burn romance, it can be easy to want to rush to it only to be assured that this is going to happen.

To avoid this, make it clear that this can potentially happen without hitting at their romance yet.

For example, if your audience can be scared that this slow burn romance won't become a thing because it's queer and often queer baiting is chosen over actually queer representation, give to the story other happy queer love stories. They can be fully developed or just mentioned, like a character's friend cleary involved in a queer relationship that's often hit at but not important.

Other examples can be mentioning a past where this kind of romance already happened (like a poly character that was in a poly relationship years before) or showing people similar to this character in a happy relationship.

A very detailed character biography to help build characters. I found the original template HERE and edited it to make it more suitable for the characters I'm creating, and also to add some more details, such as a mental illness checklist section to use for myself to reference (because it helps to know what's wrong with your characters) and other details. You may not need so many minor details for a character, but you never know if you'll end up needing an explanation for something. I'll be using this template myself so I figured I'd share it in case it could help others too. I have edited it in a way that would be more suitable for my medieval fantasy characters, so it will not list any types of modern content (such as cell phones and planes and such) Enjoy. ♡

Kaz in season 2 episode four: “The trick is to not love anything.”

Kaz four episodes later and all throughout the books: 🥺💔 “Stay. Stay in Ketterdam. Stay with me. I want you.” “I would come for you. And if I couldn’t walk I’d crawl to you.” “I’m going to get my girl.”

Freddy Carter outdid himself in Shadow and Bone season 2. It might have been a fanfiction dumpster fire with messy plot lines, but Kaz owned it.

“I’m here for the killers. People like me.”

“I finally found a weapon to end all of this. *pause* Suffering.”

“I recommend a cane.”

“I buried him. Six feet deep. He went into that box so easily. Didn’t even cry.”

“This city’s price is blood. And I am happy to pay with yours.”

“The Barrel doesn’t belong to kings. It belongs to bastards.”

“A limp. A cane. No one’s ever smart enough to look for the real one.”

“Stay. Stay in Ketterdam. Stay with me. I want you to. I want… I want… you.”

“We’re here, Inej. I want you.”

I just figured out a way to accurately sort yourself into your true Hogwarts House. The online test is rigged and unaccurate. I was sorted into Ravenclaw twice with the online test. Forget about it. What I want you to do is think back to when you were 11 (or 10 if you have a late birthday) and think about your values from back then. The experiences you were going through. What you thought and believed in.

Back in grade 6, I was dealing with a lot of bullying and I learned to stand up for myself. But revenge kinda went to my head for a while and I became a bully myself. I stopped once I realized what I was doing was wrong, but at my core, I wanted to be respected and loved for who I truly was as a neurodivergent individual given I was treated like shit. I wanted justice.

That is no Ravenclaw! I am a Gryffindor! I always have been! ❤️💛
