multi-chapter fics:

jinx’s perfect guide to ruining loving relationships

summary:

"I'm going on a double date with my sister and need to bring my boyfriend."

"So?" Ekko frowns at her, failing to understand how he's part of her master plan.

"So, smartass," she flicks his forehead, hilariously causing his frown to deepen, "I'll need a fake boyfriend. Which would be you."

Ekko looks at her as if she's grown two heads. He opens his mouth. And promptly closes it. Then Jinx sees his throat bob as he swallows. Is his throat dry or something? Must be the warm weather. She'll bring him a water bottle later to prove what a considerate fake girlfriend she could be.

Jinx devises a brilliant plan to break up her sister and her girlfriend. All she needs is a fake boyfriend so she has a valid reason to crash all their dates. Easy peasy! (Un)fortunately for Jinx, things do not go as planned.

part one: maybe we can try it if you let me

summary:

She’ll just show up – blow off the poor loser who Vi surely must’ve threatened into going on a date with a walking human disaster – and then she can go back to her regularly scheduled programming of watching Spanish telenovelas she doesn’t understand, but cheering every time the wife plans an elaborate revenge scheme on her cheating husband. All while ignoring the 30-page thesis paper she has only 2 weeks left to start on because she loves living on the edge.

In which Jinx gets set up on a blind date and is determined to have a horrible time. Until she actually meets him.

part two: it takes you and me to make us

summary:

"This is kind of random,” at the sound of his voice, Jinx’s eyes flicker up at him, “but do you want kids?"

At his unexpected question, she abruptly sits up straight, looking at him in bewilderment while she can hear the Windows error sound play on repeat in her head as she tries to formulate a response. Ekko continues to play with her hair, patiently waiting for her answer.

"I have twenty-two cents on my bank account and a Dorito chip in my pocket," is what she ends up blurting, brain still empty.

They've been together for a year now, which is the longest Jinx has ever been in a relationship. Still, she wasn't prepared for Ekko to start talking about their possible future.

part one: and i'll do anything you say (if you say it with your hands)

summary:

“We stopped being friends the moment you decided to work for Silco.”

“That hurts my feelings, you know?” He further closes in on her, barely a hairbreadth apart as he whispers. “I still care about you a lot.”

She glares at him, ignoring the painful pang she feels in her chest at his admission. “Did you care about the innocent people you hurt and killed for him too?”

“But not you." He leans in closer until his nose is brushing against hers. “Never you.”

They've been enemies ever since Powder established the Firelights and Ekko became Silco's left-hand man. But it could never be quite that simple between the two of them. For what are love and hate, if not two sides of the same coin?

part two: and if you wanna go to heaven (you should fuck me tonight)

summary:

And rationally, she understands she should pay it no mind and give him the cold shoulder if he tries to proposition her again. Unfortunately, rationality tends to fly out the window when Ekko gets a little too close to her.

if they ain't talking we ain't doing it right

summary:

"You know," Jinx starts, one eye closed in concentration so she can focus on his makeup, "people are shipping us."

"Seriously?" Ekko replies, trying very hard to stay perfectly still so she doesn't get annoyed if his makeup gets messed up.

"Yeah, they even have a ship name for us. Timebomb."

He would roll his eyes if that movement didn't require too many facial muscles. "Now I know you're just fucking with me."

Their relationship is supposed to be a secret, but at this point, Ekko just wants to hold his girlfriend's hand when they walk outside.

i'm so down for you

summary:

“I’m going on a date,” Jinx says as if she’s getting executed.

“Okay?” Vi confusedly asks, taking a seat on the edge of Jinx’s bed.

“With Ekko.”

“Oh,” Vi smiles at her, which is definitely not the reaction Jinx needs right now, “congrats. I’m sure you’re going to have fun.”

Jinx groans again, pulling at her braids in annoyance.

For reasons that were definitely beyond her control, Jinx ended up agreeing to go on a "practice date" with her lifelong friend Ekko.

my roommate (f24) is trying to blue ball me (m25) to death

summary:

Jinx's head whirled back in Ekko's direction and she glared at him. "Oh, so I'm not sexy?"

After contemplating ditching all of them and just driving home by himself, he decided against it and deadpanned, "I literally didn't say anything."

"Your silence speaks volumes." She scoffed.

Jinx is his best friend and roommate, and he's been in love with her for as long as he can remember. That aside, she's also determined to put Ekko in an early grave.

you were the one (but you were born to say goodbye)

summary:

The dead girl that he had mourned, not dead at all, just lingering here looking like death warmed up. He can see it in her ashen skin; in those wrong, bright magenta eyes. They look like shimmer and at the sight of them, he nearly balks.

stay cool, it's just a kiss

summary:

“So, you know…howI’veneverkissedanyonebefore,” she quickly mumbles, ignoring the way she can feel her face warming up.

“You realize I got no clue what you just said, right?” Ekko deadpans.

With a frustrated groan, she shoots upright and exclaims, “I’ve never kissed anyone!”

A beat of silence. He just blankly stares at her and Jinx is contemplating the quickest way to die. Then he bursts out into laughter.

Jinx is feeling a little insecure because she hasn't had her first kiss yet. Ekko helps.

it would be a hundred times easier (if we were young again)

summary:

"How about," he swallows, and Jinx's eyes are drawn to the bobbing of his throat, "we call a truce?"

Her eyes snap back up to his face, and she mockingly grins. "Oh? You don't wanna kill me?"

"Haven't decided yet," he shoots back. "Let's make it out of here alive first and raincheck that." 

And Jinx's grin widens at his response. She's always loved playing with Ekko because he's so good at playing with her too.

Jinx loves picking a fight wherever she goes. Ekko just so happened to be along for the ride.
