Ezko

"Man, I love this guy."

- Ezreal thinking about Ekko

Ezko is the slash ship between Ezreal and Ekko from the League of Legends fandom.

Pulsefire
Ezreal and Ekko's story begins with Ezreal having an entire monolog about Ekko. He crashes into Ekko's hideout and there seems to be some tension between the two, because Ekko missed him. Not looking at him, Ekko reprimands him for coming back when he said "goodbye forever" the last time they saw each other. Ekko then says that it's been four seconds since then, as he fidgets with a weird cube that reminds Ezreal of all the trouble the two of them had to go through just to attain it. Whining, Ezreal says that for him, it has been ages, and that he just needed to find Ekko, to know where and when he'd be exactly.

Ezreal begs Ekko for help because his pulsefire core broke and without it, he can't hop around time. After some playful banter, Ekko agrees to help him. And when he does, he walks up to Ezreal, and despite how exhausted he is, he gives him a grin and says "let's go, dummy." Ezreal tackles Ekko into a hug. And Ekko playfully struggles to get him off, as Ezreal hugs him tighter.

Ezreal then asks Ekko to rewind him one last time, promising to be "out of his hair forever" after this. Ekko scoffs reminding him that the Chronobreak isn't meant to carry more than one person. When Ezreal insists, Ekko keeps hurtfully reminding him that he said they would never see each other again. So Ezreal winks at Ekko and says "give it four seconds."

Ekko rolls his eyes at this and reaches behind his back, activating his Chronobreak device. As Ezreal holds Ekko's hand, he thanks him and tells him that he owes him one. Ekko corrects him saying “it’s up to four now,” and pulls Ezreal closer to him, pulling the cord. Ezreal finally describes the moment as "the world around us slows, stops—then rewinds at accelerating pace. Man, I love this guy."

Fanon
is a rare pair within the League of Legends fandom. Although it's one of the most popular ships within the Pulsefire universe. As soon as fans learned about the confirmation of this love story from the writer, some fans were happy to find out Ekko is bisexual representation. As well as the fact that they loved the story already, so the queer representation confirmation made it all the more significant. However, a minor section of fans half jokingly reacted sadly at the fact that this new relationship rivaled the popular fanon or "crack" ship of Ezreal x Taric.
