Timebomb

"I had a crush, until you started talking to the gun."

- Ekko to Jinx in League of Legends

Timebomb is the het ship between Ekko and Jinx from the Arcane and League of Legends fandoms.

Arcane


Ekko and Jinx were childhood friends in Zaun and were the two youngest among Vi and the others. As children, the two were close. After Vander's death, Ekko was betrayed to find out that "Powder" had started working for Silco and was now going by the alias Jinx.

The two used to play a paintball where Jinx shoots at Ekko and the latter dodges. Ekko wins if he doesn't get hit, and if does, Jinx wins. A parallel to this game of theirs is made when Ekko faces Jinx as an enemy for the first time on the battlefield. He starts the timer, wordlessly inviting Jinx to one last game together, Jinx laughs and plays along. The game ends with Ekko winning and pinning Jinx down about to deal the finishing blow. He hesitates, seeing his old friend Powder in Jinx's face. His split moment of hestitaion allows Jinx to denonate a grenade and get away.

League of Legends
Ekko has a voiceline when taunting Jinx saying that he had a crush on her, until she started talking to the gun.

Fanon
Due to the fact that Ekko used to have a crush on Powder before she changed to Jinx it has a large amount of artworks and fanfiction.
