Timeweaver

"Did the earth move for you too?... Did I just say that out loud?!"

- Taliyah to Ekko in League of Legends

Timeweaver is the het ship between Taliyah and Ekko from the League of Legends fandom.

Canon
In the canon of Runeterra, Taliyah and Ekko have never met. Though in League of Legends Taliyah’s voice line towards Ekko shows that she has feelings for him. And in Legends of Runeterra the two have several friendly interactions. In one, Ekko suggests surfing with Taliyah. And in another, Ekko expresses interest in showing Taliyah some of his tech.

They know each other quite well in the Star Guardian universe. In it, Taliyah and Ekko are on the same team of Star Guardians. Albeit, they are not closer than any other two random team members. The two regularly hang out and train with their team. Ekko sides with Taliyah in a disagreement about discussing a shooting star. The two are side-by-side with everyone else when they take down Morgana. And afterwards, they all enjoy the Winter Festival.

In the Star Guardian comic series by Caelysillu and posted by LoLUKN on twitter.com, Ekko and Taliyah are seen hanging out together in a classroom before Akali bursts in and requests their aid. After that, the three of them team up to fight and defeat Star Nemesis Fiddlesticks.

Fanon
The ship spawns from the crush Taliyah displays towards Ekko in her voice lines. And it is fueled by their friendly interactions in Legends of Runeterra and the Star Guardian universe. However, it is still a rarepair within the League of Legends community. Despite never meeting, some fans have theorized/hoped that Taliyah might go to Zaun on her travels and meet Ekko.

“Timeweaver” is a combination of Ekko and Taliyah’s titles: Ekko, the boy who shattered time, and Taliyah, the stoneweaver. The name “sundial” comes from a sundial being a measurement of time, therefore relating to Ekko. And sundials require it to be sunny to work, which Shurima, the desert Taliyah is from, often is. This ship name is not often used anymore.
