Thinking about my ship name for Jax and my sona (who I still don’t have a name for🥲🥲) she isn’t SUPPOSED to be a magician, just a deck of cards or whatever, but I guess she does lean into that direction (I’m trying my best to not step on Caine’s toes) but there isn’t really a ship name I could think of with Jax that includes a reference for cards so maybe I should go in the magician route and go with something like TopHat? Like how magicians pull rabbits out of hats? I have no idea lol

Slow turn sun my beloved

RAMBLE ABOUT UR ARCANE EKKO SELFSHIP!!! DO IT WHILE IM STILL FRESH IN THE FANDOM (I have finished watching it don't worry)

I AM 100% INTERESTED IN THEM PLEASE RAMBLE💖💖

Well…if you insiiist…

This is REALLY long, don’t feel pressured to read all of it. At this point it might as well be a fic but just with my ramblings

OKAYOKAYOKAYOKAY

So my sona’s name is Abigail and goes by Abbie (name pending!) and she is a rich bitch. She’s not from Piltover, she’s still from Zuan so her family isn’t THAT rich, but I would think her family has connections to the people that work with Silco (you know the guys at the long table??? Idk what they’re called) so they’re more well off than the average family in the under city. Definitely a bit spoiled, but here’s the thing, Abbie does her best (her parents don’t really let her) to work for herself, sure she’s well off, but she doesn’t want her family to be why she gets anywhere in life, she wants that all to be her and her alone.

So when Silco starts to reign and shimmer becomes something she doesn’t really know what to do. Sure, she does her best to be independent, but she’s still a smug, cocky, and spoiled brat, so worried for her own safety, she works for Silco. Not one of his right hand men, he probably doesn’t even know her name, BUT she does do some of his dirty work for the reward of Shimmer. (I haven’t watched season 1 in a while so sorry if this isn’t correct at all, at this point I’m making up my own cannon) and she gets ADDICTED. Not really in the strength way, but in the way that it makes her feel worthy. She doesn’t use enough to become super strong or whatever, but to just give her that rush.

Luckily, she stops herself before it gets to a point that it would be deadly, BUT I think the overuse of shimmer would cause a huge scar on her face. Her face that her family prided themselves on, her face that she was taught that was the most important thing about her, her face that she used to survive on the streets.

So breaking out of her shimmer addiction, now with self esteem issues, she joins the firelights, not because she needs their support (that’s what she keeps telling them anyway) but because she thinks they need her support.

Ekko, when he first meets her, HATES her, and I mean HATE. What does she know about struggling? Her whole life was given to her, unlike him who had to work for it all.

And in turn, Abbie hates him, she hates that he doesn’t even take a second glance at her to try to see past her rich background. To see how hard she actually tries. We love a good enemies to lovers

It doesn’t help that Abbie HATES training for fighting. She never fought physically in her life, her main talents are manipulation (her parents didn’t get that rich by being completely honest after all, they taught her a thing or two) This only makes Ekko thinks she’s a spoiled brat even more

But surprisingly, Ekko’s the first to fall. I think it starts (or at least when the hatred starts to dwindle) when he spots her babysitting and playing with the kids. Instead of being her usual snobby self, not wanting to get dirty, she’s letting their dirty hands play with her hair that she cares so much about, her clothes, hell she even rolled in the mud with them. Ekko usually sees her fussing over her looks (again, her parents taught her that) so seeing her throw out her worries for some kids really makes him question his first impression about her.

He doesn’t despise her now, he doesn’t enjoy her, they’re not friends (Abbie still hates him) but there’s at least a little of respect there. Instead of seeings her as ‘that one firelight recruit who’s just a rich brat who’s used to having everything handed to her’, he now sees her as ‘spoiled brat who’s not used to this kind of stuff but is good with kids’ an improvment.

But when he actually starts falling for her is when he sees how hard she was actually trying this whole time. Character development goes brrr because when she first joined she hated training, but trying to prove to Ekko that she’s worth something (not because she feels like she needs to prove herself to him, she’s just being petty) she starts training. So when Ekko stumbles in on her training until the middle of the night, exhausted, he just stares for a moment, noticing the bags under her eyes, the sweat dripping down her forehead, how tired her arms looked yet she still kept going. He left before she could notice him, but strangely he started to smile at her through the halls of the base, laughing at her sarcastic remarks instead of scoffing, and now she spots him staring at her with a dopey smile.

Abbie, takes a bit more long to start to actually like him, but she definitely falls harder. Honestly, at first (and even afterwards, although she would never admit it,) she admired Ekko. unlike her who was handed everything, he worked for everything. He made this beautiful society all on his own, not with the help of almost anyone. She almost wants to be like him.

So it’d be an understatement to say she was hurt when he didn’t hide his distaste for her, calling her spoiled, which was true but the least he could do was pretend he didn’t mind her. So her dislike towards him was mostly out of petty, she is very much petty almost all the time, I’m really not hiding the fact that if I met her irl I would punch her (which is somewhat concerning since she’s my own sona)

But she starts falling for him when she’s playing with some of the kids and he joins in (I definitely imagine a scenario, not necessarily at this specific point in their relationship, maybe when they’re actually a thing, where they play the classic knight saves the princess game with the kids) she just pauses when she sees the tough guy leader mask fall off and a soft and caring guy shine through, a guy whose own childhood got stolen from him. She doesn’t fall for him right away, but her pettiness at least starts to chip away.

But what really does it for her is when he asks her to help him with some paper work (nothing fancy, just food shipments and plans for future missions) because she, out of anyone there was used to paper work (again, her family background). She does it, expecting him to be nit picking at everything over her shoulder, but instead, he joined in, putting in his own ideas while…listening to hers. Something no one else in her past did before. If she ever gave her own ideas in any family meetings or whatever they would have, her parents would just brush it off, brush her off.

It would probably end with her falling asleep and him leaving his jacket on her for a blanket, and when she wakes up and realizes she recognizes his smell on the jacket, she knew she was in deep shit.

Usually I like making my self ships fumbling between the ‘friends (…or more…?)’ stage. But I love imagining them as a power couple, often arguing like an old married couple.

I think that when they both gained feelings for each other they would both hide them from each other, knowing that with how the world was at the moment, romance should be the last thing on their minds. I honestly think the way they would confess is if someone (maybe Ekko) would be talking and let something about their feelings slip unintentionally, cue the other just slowly turning their head to stare at them. They continue walking, trying to ignore how awkward everything was now, before Abbie slowly bumps him with her shoulder, intertwining their pinkies together, and slowly they awkwardly transition into friends but now they sometimes kiss and cuddle and hold hands and giggle while whispering to eachother during firelight meetings and sleeping in the same bed.

I like to think that Abbie had never loved literally anyone else in her whole life. Her family she thought she loved, but really, the only feelings she had for her parents were respect, they raised her, she respected them for that, but she didn’t love them, and they didn’t love her. But Ekko, Ekkos she loves. And that scares her. She knows she’s not perfect, especially her looks that she thought was the best part of here so she worries about not being enough for him.

—————————————————————————

Sorry for the rambling, here’s just some general headcanons now.

>Ekko used to call her princess in a taunting way, but after getting together, he uses it as if he thinks it’s actually true, he wouldn’t doubt it if she was actually secretly one of the princesses that he’s read in the fairytales

>Other than princess, Ekko also calls her babe, brat (when they’re acting like a old married couple) firefly, shortie, etc

>Abbie calls him clock boy, captain, handsome, knight in shining armor, light of my life (usually when’s eh broke something or is asking him for something)

>Heimerdinger giving them knowing smirks whenever they whisper during meetings? Heimerdinger giving them knowing smirks whenever they whisper during meetings!!

>Speaking of Heimerdinger, he would so give Ekko ‘advice’ on how to make Abbie swoon, all to fancy and old school stuff that Ekko would want, but Abbie’s fancy so wouldn’t hurt to try, right?

>Ekkos favorite spot to kiss her would probably be her forehead, or her scar, while whispering about how he finds her beautiful even with it

>Abbies likes the classics. Loves kissing him on the lips. Also loves to tease him by kissing the back of his hand to fluster him

(I don’t know a good ship name for these two yet, please tell me if any of y’all can think of any lmao)

[snicker-dooodless]

Art block is kicking my ass so I probably won’t post some art in a bit, but I AM thinking about making a fnaf sona for my Sun and Moon selfship.

I kinda wanna make her like- a babysitter to one of the kids who goes to the daycare and is kinda like an older sister figure to the kid and sometimes picks the kids up from the daycare, because I think it’d be cute.

But I also wouldn’t be able to put them in cute scenarios I like if they don’t work there which sucks, I would just make them an employee but I feel like that’s a bit overused? Depending on what I make my sona’s job I guess.

[snicker-dooodless]

gonna do this one also and so it's not repetitive and before I start sounding not genuine for not picking a specific one, bc yea that's kind of a shit move, sry abt that😅

❤️ for a fact about our relationship.

🎧 for a song that reminds me of us.

🎁 for a gift f/o has given s/i (or vice versa).

🌒 for something f/o loves about me.

for WhiteRabbit - Abbigail x Ekko

also this ship name is sooo cutee!!! love it, don't exactly understand it bc I'm slow but I love it so much and I think it's really cute :3

AAAHHH ANOTHER ONE! EVE DONT WORRY ABOUT NOT PICKING A PARTICULAR SHIP, I LIKE IT WHEN I GET TO RAMBLE ON ABOUT WHATEVER I WANT LOL!

Also! Their ship name is WhiteRabbit because personally I see Abigail as a bunny/rabbit. Idk why lol, when you think about it bunny’s are usually portrayed as cute or innocent but for some reason with Abigail I see them more teasing and flirty?? Maybe because of playboy bunnies?? Idk

but it’s specifically WhiteRabbit because that’s the rabbit from Alice in wonderland, the rabbit with the…clock?? Get it…? Time? Clock? Cause Ekko…his whole thing is….you know….time?

SPOILERS FOR ARCANE SEASON 2

——————————————————————————————————

❤️

I think that in the alternative universe that Ekko and Heimerdinger are sent to, Abby wouldn’t already be at the bar and have already met that universes Ekko. The original Ekko and Abby met in the FireLights. But if in the alternative universe the FireLights don’t exist, Abby wouldn’t have met Ekko and vice versa. So I like to think that when Heimerdinger got there before Ekko and realized this, him being the little WhiteRabbit shipper he is, would go ahead and find Abby so this universes Abby could be with Ekko if he decided to stay like Heimerdinger said he should. another note about the alternative universe, Abby wouldn’t have her scar, she would have never gotten addicted to shimmer in the first place. So it really makes Ekko feel weird. He loves that part of Abby, her scar, not the pain behind it, but because it’s apart of her. So seeing her without it is unsettling. It’s also unsettling to see how much happier and confident Abby is without it, which means that when Ekko gets back he’s sure to give Abby a bunch of compliments about it, kissing her all over while she’s trying to push him off

“Ew- Ekko get off your giving me cooties.”

——————————————————————————————————

🎧

here’s their full playlist (feel free to give out recommendations, I suck at playlists 😭)

but for a single song? I have to go with A Lovely Night from La La Land

——————————————————————————————————

🎁

I’m actually not really sure about this one. I feel like Ekko would give Abby flowers and stuff, mostly just the ‘cliche romantic’ stuff because she’s just really ‘classy’ (at least he really thinks so) and it seems like should would like stuff like flowers and chocolates and stuff, you know, the classics. Which is true, she does. But she also wants him to not worry about it, to get her literally whatever he wants, it doesn’t have to be anything fancy, after she makes that clear, he starts to make metal roses made of scraps, awkwardly giving it to her while she’s stopping herself from jumping up and down while giggling.

Abby on the other hand would probably just get him whatever scraps of metal or technology she finds, awkwardly shrugging saying that she didn’t know if he would find them useful or not. She would also probably get him a lot of books. In my heart I think he would like to read. Sure some sciencey, nerd books, but also fairytales, fiction, sci-fi, she knows he didn’t have a perfect childhood, so she tries to give him stuff from her own. ——————————————————————————————————-

🌒

I can think of the main few, stuff like how she’s good with the kids at the base, how she’s hardworking, selfless (which sometimes he actually doesn’t like, because in his opinion she’s sometimes too selfless), her sarcastic comments, etc

But the main thing I can think of Ekko really liking about Abby is her confidence. She’s not really confident about her looks sure, especially her face, but she’s confident in her actions and plans. And that reassures him even if she’s not doing it on purpose. If he’s nervous about a mission but sees Abby walking around the base, oozing confidence, he’s almost immediately calmed. ——————————————————————————————————

AWWWW EVE I LOVE YOU AAAAHHH

I’m gonna answer this for my newest self ship with the Daycare Attendant from fnaf. Also after all of the answers I’ll ramble a bit about my sona for some context lol

(also sorry if the writing doesn’t always makes sense? The draft of this deleted itself so I had to start all over🥲)

——————————————————————————————————

🏁

Sun and Moon hands down. I feel like Sun would be the first of the two to fall, although I think the both of them fall for my sona around the same time. Sun and Ashley would naturally be drawn to each other due to the both of them being extroverted and energetic. But when Sun started to actually fall for her was when he saw how good she was with the kids at the daycare. Whenever Ashley hung around the daycare during her breaks or whenever she had time and she saw a shy or upset kid sitting alone in a corner, she would immediately go over and comfort them, almost always bringing the kid to the group afterwards, making Sun have to resist the urge to pick her up and spin her around, rambling about how sweet and kind she is. It always makes Sun’s inner fans go crazy whenever he sees Ashley with the kids, especially the way she would be having genuine fun, how she would hype them up (although he has to keep reminding her that saying “that’s sick as fuck, little dude!” To kids isn’t appropriate), and how she would always play along with their games.

Moon on the other hand would be drawn to Ashley mostly due to her more chaotic and spunky side. He always finds his almost permanent smile become just a bit more genuine whenever she does or says something stupid, or when she purposefully annoys Monty.

I feel like Ashley would take a bit more time to realize her feelings because she’s dense as FUCK. Even if she started to fall for them she probably wouldn’t even realize what those feelings really meant. But she would actually start to realize her feelings when the boys would actually start making a move, flirting, compliments that seemed a bit too genuine, getting more touchy. But because I still love slowburns, I think she would realize her own feelings at this, but not realize that they were actually being genuine. I mean, have you seen Sun? He’s nice to everyone! He’s just a little bit more nicer to her, it doesn’t mean anything. But ever since the boy’s touches start to linger longer and longer she starts to think about how she actually really likes when Sun’s teasing or annoyed side comes out (the one we see in Help Wanted 2) and how she also really likes how Moon always joins in on her shenanigans when in the past, people just kinda avoided them. And she really really secretly likes when they fuss over her.

——————————————————————————————————

❌

Yup. Oh so many sleepless nights (At least for Ashley, I don’t know if the boys sleep) spent in denial. I mean, if they were all human there would be no denial whatsoever, those bitches would be smooching so fast! Buts its the awkward stage where Ashley realizes she likes a robot, a robot that probably isn’t even programmed to feel romantic feelings, that her feelings right now are probably equivalent to a crush on a fictional tv character. And Sun and Moon realizing that they like a human. Were they even programmed to feel romantic feelings? Towards a human no less? Would getting with them ruin her life? Imagine all the criticism, from the world, her friends, her family. But don’t worry, after a few pep talks and reassurances (Freddy giving the boys a pep talk and Chica reassuring Ashley that she isn’t being weird for liking a robot) they are so awkward and flirty, making the kids from the daycare either shout out “COOTIES!!” Or “OoooOooH Sun likes you!!”

——————————————————————————————————

💘

Okay, I know I kinda talked about this in the first answer but I’ll go into more specific scenarios.

For Sun, I’m debating between what I brought up before, where there’s a kid (who’s probably afraid of sunny/robots, meaning he wasn’t able to comfort them himself) So Ashley reassures him and goes in the corner where the kid is hiding, a couple of minutes late, she comes back with the kid in her arms and reassures the kid that Sun is her friend. And despite him being oh so very happy that the kid is less scared of him now, he had to hold himself back from adding on to the ‘friend’ comment.

another scenario I’m thinking of is when an angry parent is complaining to Sun while picking up their child, insulting him and clearly hating the whole robot shtick. Sun’s used to it so he just accepts the fact that he’ll just have to tough this out with a forced smile and comments about how he’ll send their feedback to customer service. But when Ashley stomps up to the parent and starts insulting them back, quietly enough so their kid doesn’t hear, he just stares, not used to anyone standing up for him against parents, the customers are always right after all. But when Ashley defends him he kinds just melts into a puddle and stares at them for the rest of the argument while Moons laughing at him in their hand. But sadly he had to tug her back from the parent, scolding her for being so harsh.

For Moon I think it was one of those times where Ashley was just being stupid, but in the way that made his fans go crazy to cool down his wiring. I imagine Ashley running up to him immediately after the lights go off, waving her hands around with phone in one, clearly excited to tell him something. Expecting some great news like her getting a promotion or something, he’s just deadpanning at her phone when it turns out that she just wanted to show him a meme. He kind of hates himself for falling in love with an idiot

——————————————————————————————————

for context! My sona, Ashley (Ash for short obvi), works at the Pizzaplex as someone who chaperones kid’s birthday parties. I think her and the Daycare Attendant have seen eachother in passing since some kids wanted a birthday party themed on them. Ashley would shocked and somewhat flattered when they said they remembered her for being ‘such a good helper!’ Her personality? Gonna be so real. Beezlebub from Helluva Boss

The only one I can think of that isn’t TopHat is freaking WhiteRabbit since Alice in wonderland, but that’s my ship name for Ekko and Abbie. I can change Ekkos and Abbie’s ship name or I can try to think of another one for Jax and my sona

Thinking about my ship name for Jax and my sona (who I still don’t have a name for🥲🥲) she isn’t SUPPOSED to be a magician, just a deck of cards or whatever, but I guess she does lean into that direction (I’m trying my best to not step on Caine’s toes) but there isn’t really a ship name I could think of with Jax that includes a reference for cards so maybe I should go in the magician route and go with something like TopHat? Like how magicians pull rabbits out of hats? I have no idea lol

RAMBLE ABOUT UR ARCANE EKKO SELFSHIP!!! DO IT WHILE IM STILL FRESH IN THE FANDOM (I have finished watching it don't worry)

I AM 100% INTERESTED IN THEM PLEASE RAMBLE💖💖

Well…if you insiiist…

This is REALLY long, don’t feel pressured to read all of it. At this point it might as well be a fic but just with my ramblings

OKAYOKAYOKAYOKAY

So my sona’s name is Abigail and goes by Abbie (name pending!) and she is a rich bitch. She’s not from Piltover, she’s still from Zuan so her family isn’t THAT rich, but I would think her family has connections to the people that work with Silco (you know the guys at the long table??? Idk what they’re called) so they’re more well off than the average family in the under city. Definitely a bit spoiled, but here’s the thing, Abbie does her best (her parents don’t really let her) to work for herself, sure she’s well off, but she doesn’t want her family to be why she gets anywhere in life, she wants that all to be her and her alone.

So when Silco starts to reign and shimmer becomes something she doesn’t really know what to do. Sure, she does her best to be independent, but she’s still a smug, cocky, and spoiled brat, so worried for her own safety, she works for Silco. Not one of his right hand men, he probably doesn’t even know her name, BUT she does do some of his dirty work for the reward of Shimmer. (I haven’t watched season 1 in a while so sorry if this isn’t correct at all, at this point I’m making up my own cannon) and she gets ADDICTED. Not really in the strength way, but in the way that it makes her feel worthy. She doesn’t use enough to become super strong or whatever, but to just give her that rush.

Luckily, she stops herself before it gets to a point that it would be deadly, BUT I think the overuse of shimmer would cause a huge scar on her face. Her face that her family prided themselves on, her face that she was taught that was the most important thing about her, her face that she used to survive on the streets.

So breaking out of her shimmer addiction, now with self esteem issues, she joins the firelights, not because she needs their support (that’s what she keeps telling them anyway) but because she thinks they need her support.

Ekko, when he first meets her, HATES her, and I mean HATE. What does she know about struggling? Her whole life was given to her, unlike him who had to work for it all.

And in turn, Abbie hates him, she hates that he doesn’t even take a second glance at her to try to see past her rich background. To see how hard she actually tries. We love a good enemies to lovers

It doesn’t help that Abbie HATES training for fighting. She never fought physically in her life, her main talents are manipulation (her parents didn’t get that rich by being completely honest after all, they taught her a thing or two) This only makes Ekko thinks she’s a spoiled brat even more

But surprisingly, Ekko’s the first to fall. I think it starts (or at least when the hatred starts to dwindle) when he spots her babysitting and playing with the kids. Instead of being her usual snobby self, not wanting to get dirty, she’s letting their dirty hands play with her hair that she cares so much about, her clothes, hell she even rolled in the mud with them. Ekko usually sees her fussing over her looks (again, her parents taught her that) so seeing her throw out her worries for some kids really makes him question his first impression about her.

He doesn’t despise her now, he doesn’t enjoy her, they’re not friends (Abbie still hates him) but there’s at least a little of respect there. Instead of seeings her as ‘that one firelight recruit who’s just a rich brat who’s used to having everything handed to her’, he now sees her as ‘spoiled brat who’s not used to this kind of stuff but is good with kids’ an improvment.

But when he actually starts falling for her is when he sees how hard she was actually trying this whole time. Character development goes brrr because when she first joined she hated training, but trying to prove to Ekko that she’s worth something (not because she feels like she needs to prove herself to him, she’s just being petty) she starts training. So when Ekko stumbles in on her training until the middle of the night, exhausted, he just stares for a moment, noticing the bags under her eyes, the sweat dripping down her forehead, how tired her arms looked yet she still kept going. He left before she could notice him, but strangely he started to smile at her through the halls of the base, laughing at her sarcastic remarks instead of scoffing, and now she spots him staring at her with a dopey smile.

Abbie, takes a bit more long to start to actually like him, but she definitely falls harder. Honestly, at first (and even afterwards, although she would never admit it,) she admired Ekko. unlike her who was handed everything, he worked for everything. He made this beautiful society all on his own, not with the help of almost anyone. She almost wants to be like him.

So it’d be an understatement to say she was hurt when he didn’t hide his distaste for her, calling her spoiled, which was true but the least he could do was pretend he didn’t mind her. So her dislike towards him was mostly out of petty, she is very much petty almost all the time, I’m really not hiding the fact that if I met her irl I would punch her (which is somewhat concerning since she’s my own sona)

But she starts falling for him when she’s playing with some of the kids and he joins in (I definitely imagine a scenario, not necessarily at this specific point in their relationship, maybe when they’re actually a thing, where they play the classic knight saves the princess game with the kids) she just pauses when she sees the tough guy leader mask fall off and a soft and caring guy shine through, a guy whose own childhood got stolen from him. She doesn’t fall for him right away, but her pettiness at least starts to chip away.

But what really does it for her is when he asks her to help him with some paper work (nothing fancy, just food shipments and plans for future missions) because she, out of anyone there was used to paper work (again, her family background). She does it, expecting him to be nit picking at everything over her shoulder, but instead, he joined in, putting in his own ideas while…listening to hers. Something no one else in her past did before. If she ever gave her own ideas in any family meetings or whatever they would have, her parents would just brush it off, brush her off.

It would probably end with her falling asleep and him leaving his jacket on her for a blanket, and when she wakes up and realizes she recognizes his smell on the jacket, she knew she was in deep shit.

Usually I like making my self ships fumbling between the ‘friends (…or more…?)’ stage. But I love imagining them as a power couple, often arguing like an old married couple.

I think that when they both gained feelings for each other they would both hide them from each other, knowing that with how the world was at the moment, romance should be the last thing on their minds. I honestly think the way they would confess is if someone (maybe Ekko) would be talking and let something about their feelings slip unintentionally, cue the other just slowly turning their head to stare at them. They continue walking, trying to ignore how awkward everything was now, before Abbie slowly bumps him with her shoulder, intertwining their pinkies together, and slowly they awkwardly transition into friends but now they sometimes kiss and cuddle and hold hands and giggle while whispering to eachother during firelight meetings and sleeping in the same bed.

I like to think that Abbie had never loved literally anyone else in her whole life. Her family she thought she loved, but really, the only feelings she had for her parents were respect, they raised her, she respected them for that, but she didn’t love them, and they didn’t love her. But Ekko, Ekkos she loves. And that scares her. She knows she’s not perfect, especially her looks that she thought was the best part of here so she worries about not being enough for him.

Sorry for the rambling, here’s just some general headcanons now.

>Ekko used to call her princess in a taunting way, but after getting together, he uses it as if he thinks it’s actually true, he wouldn’t doubt it if she was actually secretly one of the princesses that he’s read in the fairytales

>Other than princess, Ekko also calls her babe, brat (when they’re acting like a old married couple) firefly, shortie, etc

>Abbie calls him clock boy, captain, handsome, knight in shining armor, light of my life (usually when’s eh broke something or is asking him for something)

>Heimerdinger giving them knowing smirks whenever they whisper during meetings? Heimerdinger giving them knowing smirks whenever they whisper during meetings!!

>Speaking of Heimerdinger, he would so give Ekko ‘advice’ on how to make Abbie swoon, all to fancy and old school stuff that Ekko would want, but Abbie’s fancy so wouldn’t hurt to try, right?

>Ekkos favorite spot to kiss her would probably be her forehead, or her scar, while whispering about how he finds her beautiful even with it

>Abbies likes the classics. Loves kissing him on the lips. Also loves to tease him by kissing the back of his hand to fluster him

(I don’t know a good ship name for these two yet, please tell me if any of y’all can think of any lmao)
