#jinx/silco

[damadisangue]

A paper doll; an ashtray decorated in neon pink and green.  The shell of a shark bomb, a slightly squashed cake filled with bitter cocoa stolen directly from Whoopie Cakes in Piltover. There had always been a gift for him on Valentine's Day - the innocence of a child that had then changed into the shy interest of a teenager and the most visceral desire of an almost adult. Silco had kept all those gifts with the religious devotion of an acolyte kneeling before his god, tangible signs of Jinx's affection - a gift, a regalia that had drawn rare smiles from him and warmed his thoughts. He watches her hum a tune under her breath, her head swaying to an invisible rhythm and in her fingers a brush with which she is drawing the eyes of her new creation.

A gift for you, Silly.

Silco watches her, sucking in a breath of smoke - nineteen years old and Death trying to take her away like the coward she was.

Never.

Jinx holds up a piece of metal shaped like a snake, smiling until the grimace takes over her entire face, lighting up the room and darkening the sky. Silco watches her from the dim light of his office, the smoke rising in small gray and white curls - in Jinx's new pink iris a flicker of guilt that makes him feel both powerful and weak. The realization,

Happy Valentine's Day, Silly.

crushes him.

They really gave us everything though: old gay dads, cool straight (?) couple, badass lesbians, gay (temporary) rivals

thinking abt how jinx told sevika she gave silco his injections because "he was a big crybaby and didn't want to do it himself." thinking abt how we know silco has given himself his injections plenty of times without issue. thinking abt how silco took in a little girl who could never do anything right, who could never be trusted with anything important because she'd fuck it up, who was a jinx, and told her "I trust you enough to put this needle in my eye." thinking abt how vulnerable of a position silco put himself in just to make jinx feel safe and loved.

hi yes hello omg. i read "soulmates never die" when you posted it last week or so and went "oh jeez oh fuck oh no my fragile little heart" and then promptly proceeded to read literally all of your other jilco fics over the course of like two days going "oh jeez fuck why no pls my tender little heart" every so often at ever increasing intensity and i just got the notification for dirty little fairytale and went, aloud "oh christ okay ok ok okay!! fuck ;--; okay" bc sleep is for the weak. anyways. ✨💕

Hi! I'm so glad you like them all! Silco and Jinx are outside the classic father-daughter relationship (much more evident in the figure of Vander, for example).

They live by absolutes and, above all, they understand each other on a visceral and intimate level; the very proxemics of their bodies when they enter the scene together is ambiguous, almost as if it spoke of a repressed and still dormant desire for both of them - something that is already there and that, in my opinion, would have blossomed if the first season had not ended with the death of Silco (a figure of enormous reference and balance for Jinx, just think of the scene in prison in season two, where he appears to her not as one of her cruel and distorted hallucinations, but perfectly intact as he was in life and as she saw him).

The scene of the second episode (second season) is heartbreaking and even in Jinx's gestures there is a feeling that is more than love - it is an absolute: something so rooted that it is now inextricable. Silco and Jinx certainly have an intense relationship, and it can be interpreted in different ways.

I am convinced that Silco saw in Powder (in the first act of the season one) someone similar to him, a kindred spirit: a person who bore his own scars, his own disappointments. Trust (and love) are powerful weapons, and Powder hit Silco with both, giving him someone to defend, to protect and in whom he could reflect himself - a home, and a family: everything that Vander had taken away from him.

In the years that followed, their relationship grew: both must have learned to live with each other's ghosts, and this undoubtedly made them feel less alone - a fundamental human need, to be understood, and loved despite everything.

As an adult, we see Jinx behave differently with Silco: beyond the tone, left deliberately ambiguous, in my opinion (and a decidedly winning move, in my opinion, because not everything needs to be brutally and even flatly expressed), Jinx has constant physical contact with him, and I believe that allowing a person to enter your living space - granting them that trust - is an act of faith and love. It is not a question of mere desire, or longing, but of sharing, and depth.

The ending of the season one killed me: Silco and Jinx would never have been defined as having a happy ending - their beauty lies precisely in that: in that tragedy that cloaks everything in grace and immortality - but it still hit me like a punch straight in the face.

I'm so happy that you liked the stories, and that you stopped by for a few minutes to leave me these beautiful words. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

Can we all agree that Silco was obviously responsible for Powder/Jinx's amazing hairstyles in all timelines?
