My Opinion on Timebomb Fics

(Disclaimer: This is by no means serious criticism. I love all Timebomb fics. Thank you to the authors that write them. You're one of the reasons I'm alive today. This is just my opinion on the Timebomb canon dynamic and what I wish there was more of.)

Can we agree, it is hard as hell to write the Timebomb dynamic correctly? I stan maybe a handful of Timebomb fics, and even some of those have the wrong dynamic to me. To me, Timebomb is the peak of enemies to lovers, because the conflicts between them are nearly impossible to resolve. For the fics to feel canon to me, they have to have:

• Jinx remaining Jinx. Any fics that take her back to being Powder (or even call her Powder), or cure her insanity with the power of love, don't work for me. She's Jinx, and she's worked hard to get to the level of crazy she's at. What makes Jinx the better version of Powder is that she has Powder's heart, but she's more cunning, reckless, and dangerously capable. She thinks outside of the box and never conforms to anyone's rules, unless it benefits her. Anything that changes that is out of character, in my opinion.

• Ekko having an attraction and romantic feelings towards Jinx, outside of his history with Powder. I want him to feel all the guilt and angst, because here is the crazy, psychotic killer who has been murdering his friends, but he thinks she's attractive and wants to date her. Ekko liking Jinx solely because she used to be Powder, or as an older version of Powder, is lazy writing to me. I want the mental anguish of an Ekko who hates himself, because Powder is gone, and this demon is in her place, and he's STILL falling for her. I want him to question his own sanity at some point, because why does he like THIS? I want Ekko to fall for her, before he sees any hint of Powder in her. Seeing the old Powder in Jinx should be a bonus to his love for her, not the foundation of it.

• Belligerent Teamwork. They are enemies and have been for years. I don't like the fics where they just fall into easy teamwork, as if they were picking up where they left off as kids. I want them to be at each other's throats about decisions. Jinx is a lone wolf with problems following authority, and Ekko has been the leader of the Firelights for years. There is gonna be some tension. Who's in charge? Ha, let them fight for dominance. 😈

• Jinx being bad at romance/sex/love. This is the girl who has been isolated for a lot of her life. Even when she was with the gang in the first three episodes of season 1, she felt like an outlier. With her trust issues, there's no way she was comfortable enough to explore her sexuality and get to know people on an intimate level. At least, not healthily. At most, I'd give her reckless one-night stands or having killed her old exes during a psychotic episode. Other than that, I think Ekko is the more experienced between them.

• A healthy respect for each other. Even if Jinx is frothing at the mouth mad, or Ekko is being a coward in Jinx's eyes, I want them to still have an underlying respect for each other. Ekko should never think less of Jinx for her mental instability. And Jinx, while ruthless, should respect Ekko's decision to put his people before himself. Even if they disagree and do not understand each other's decisions, they should respect each other in their private thoughts.

____________

That's just a few things I'd want in a fic. I'm pretty sure my opinion will change with the new season, but it's a welcome change. Thank you again to all the writers who write the fics I read and provide me with my dopamine/serotonin fix on a daily basis. I appreciate all your hard work!

Is there anything you guys wish Timebomb fics had? I'd love to hear it.

A leap of faith ∞

Description: What if Ekko chooses to stay in an alternate reality to be with Powder, determined to help her rewrite her fate and find a new beginning together.

Word count: 1.6k

Timebomb fanfiction, AU Powder x Ekko

He cannot loose her.

Not again.

Ekko stood at the edge of the hex rune, the Chronobreak device humming faintly in his hand. The alternate timeline swirled around him, fragments of memories he’d never lived but felt intimately connected to. Ekko and Heimerdinger finally managed to create a device to send them back. He should be glad, he was about to help fix this big old mess Jinx had created, but why did he feel sorrowful? His heart arched at the thought of leaving Powder. Powder, not Jinx - the girl he fell in love in this alternative reality. She hadn’t yet become Jinx here. She was just Powder—filled much live and radiating with potential.

He closed his eyes, the weight of the device pulling at his wrist like a chain. Returning to his reality meant rejoining the war, leading the Firelights, and bearing the responsibility of Zauns future.

But what if he did not return back home?

Ekkos thoughts spiraled as he weighed his choice; return to his Zaun and fight the Piltis? Or be finally at peace and have a family again. His thoughts wandered back to Powder. He can be the anchor she needs. The one person to never abandon her.

He made up his mind.

Sometimes taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind.

He took one final look at his lab partner, his mentor, dare he even say his new friend? Determined with a sad undertone he turns his gaze to Heimerdinger.

“Please forgive me, professor”

“Ekko my boy? What’s wrong?”

But before Heimerdinger could finish his thoughts, Ekko took a leap forward, landing next to the platform and escaping just in time before his friend got sent back to their own reality.

Ekkos boots landed with a soft thud on the uneven ground. The swirling energy of the hex rune began to collapse behind him, the hum of its power fading into silence. For a moment, the world around him was still, and all Ekko could hear was the pounding of his own heartbeat.

He’d done it.

The Chronobreak device, the bridge between realities, was gone now - sealed away in a cascade of light as Heimerdinger was sent back to their original timeline. Ekko knew the professor wouldn’t understand. Not fully.

But this wasn’t about understanding. It was about choosing.

“Powder…” he murmured, the name leaving his lips like a prayer.

The thought of her had anchored him here, pulled him from the void of indecision. He hadn’t even realized how much he’d missed her - not Jinx, not the broken girl with a twisted smile, but Powder. The girl with curious eyes and a knick for inventions, her trembling hands that reached out for anyone - someone - that will stay with her.

And now, Ekko could be that person. He could be the one to stay.

He glanced at the Chronobreak device in his hand one last time, its power now dormant. The final link to the world he left behind. It would’ve been so easy to use it again, to undo his choice. But not this time. This time, there would be no rewinds, no second guesses.

He slipped the device into his pocket, its weight no longer a burden but a reminder of sacrifice - no, of a new chance, and who is he to turn down such a golden opportunity?

Before he could register it, he found himself walking forwards the Exit. Powder must still be on the rooftop and waiting for him. Ignoring the doubt in his mind he made his way up to her.

Ekko paused for a moment as he reached the top of the stairs, his breath catching at the sight of her. Powder sat perched at the edge of the rooftop, her legs dangling over the side, the soft glow of Zauns colorful lights painting her silhouette in hues of green, pink and gold. Her hair, a bright blue contrast neatly swaying in the breeze.

She didn’t notice him at first. Her gaze was fixed on the cities skyline; on the winding streets, the bustling undercity, the faint hum of life that echoed even in Zaunss darkest hours. She seemed so small, so fragile, but there was strength and contentment in the way she sat there, lost in her thoughts.

Ekko hesitated. What could he even say to her? Could she even believe him if he told her the truth - that he had crossed dimensions for her? That he had left everything behind because he couldn’t bear to lose her again?

He shook the doubt from his mind. He had made his choice. Now, he had to follow through. There was no room for second chances, no room to mess up once again.

“Powder?” he called out softly.

Her head jerked up, startled. She twisted around, her wide eyes locking onto his. For a moment, her expression was unreadable - somewhere between shock, relief, and disbelief.

“Ekko?” she whispered, her voice barely audible.

He stepped closer, his heart hammering. “Hey.”

She scrambled to her feet, spinning around to face him. “You - you’re here,” she stammered. “But you said - you said you can’t- You said it wasn’t possible and that -“

“I know,” he interrupted, his voice thick with emotion. “I know what I said. But I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t leave you. Not again.”

Her lips parted, her eyes filling with something he couldn’t quite name.

She was silent for a long moment, Ekko was about to speak up once more but she carried on.

“You’re not my Ekko, right?”

The question hit Ekko like a punch to the gut. He faltered, his breath catching in his throat as he searched her face. Powder’s expression was still calm and collected but with a hint of curiosity.

‘No, but I could be’, he thought but he was too cowardly to speak his thoughts out loud, he felt like he had no right to do so.

“You’re not very different, you and him, I mean” she said”

“The only difference is that you actually made a move” she chuckled dryly.

“I…am not” he admitted quietly, his voice barely audible over the hum of the city. “I’m not your Ekko. Not the one you grew up with, not the one you remember.” He hesitated, the weight of his confession pressing heavily on his chest. “But I’m still me. And I still care about you. That hasn’t changed, and it never will.” He almost sounded desperate, trying not to convince her but himself too.

“It’s not an unwelcome change, you know,” she said, her voice gentler now, like she was tiptoeing through uncharted territory. Her eyes searched his face, studying him as though trying to see beyond the surface. “He was always so focused on his work, that he never had time to enjoy the little things in life, always moving forward. Not like you.”

Ekko’s heart pounded in his chest. The comparison stung, but not because of jealousy. It was the knowledge that he wasn’t her Ekko that made the moment so fragile. He was a stranger to her in so many ways, yet she was looking at him with tender eyes and an affectionate gaze

She stopped mere inches away from him, close enough for him to see the faint freckles dotting her cheeks, to feel the faint warmth of her presence. Her hands hung at her sides, trembling slightly, as if she wasn’t sure whether to reach out or retreat.

Finally after a heavy moment of silence Ekko spoke up.

“Can we just pretend like it’s the first time again?” He said half jokingly, fidgeting nervously with his earring.

Powder took both of his hands.

“I’d like that”

A soft smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he finally dared to meet her gaze. “Yeah?” he asked, his voice carrying a flicker of hope.

Powder nodded, her lips curving into a small smile of her own. “Yeah. I think… I think we could use a restart.”

Her words were light, almost playful, but there was an undercurrent of sincerity in them that struck Ekko deeply. She wasn’t dismissing the weight of what had brought them to this moment—far from it. She was choosing, just as he had, to take a leap forward.

“Okay,” he said softly, giving her hands a small squeeze. “Then let’s start fresh.” He hesitated, a nervous chuckle escaping him. “Hi. I’m Ekko. I’m kinda…new here.”

Powder blinked at him, then let out a surprised laugh—a real, unguarded laugh that lit up her face in a way Ekko hadn’t seen before. “Hi, Ekko,” she said, playing along. “I’m Powder. Guess I’m new here too. Good that ol’ lonesome me found someone like-minded.”

For the first time since he’d stepped into this timeline, Ekko felt the tension in his chest ease, replaced by something lighter. Maybe it wasn’t perfect. Maybe they were still figuring things out. But in this moment, with her hands in his and their laughter filling the air, it felt like they’d found a beginning.

And for now, that was enough.
