Pain.
Ekko dealt out pain.
Pain.
Ekko lived for pain.
Pain.
It was all Ekko knew, anymore.
Pain in his muscles, in his joints. Pain in his heart, jagged and ugly and violent. Pain was all Ekko had left, his only companion.

Months after the destruction of everything Ekko believed in, the ruination of his grandest dream and the death of his closest friends, Ekko has fallen on hard times. What began as a righteous quest of revenge against the man who had taken everything led Ekko down a spiral of self-destruction: every day a race to the bottom of a bottle and then the sweet release of inky black sleep.

Ekko is a Pit Fighter in Season 1 Act 3 after a series of life-altering events. This is still Ekko the Firelight Leader, the same canon events playing out until just after the Progress Day raid.
I saw this amazing Pit Fighter Ekko art and got inspired to make this fic!

Summary
Ekko has a problem: he's pining for Jinx, his former academic-rival-turned-friend. They hated each other, then through forced closeness on countless projects and assignments they became something close to friends.
He wouldn't risk their fledgling relationship by confessing his feelings, so he vents them out in other ways. And what she doesn't know won't hurt her, he says.
Until she finds out.

Summary
Life with Jinx wasn't always easy, but it was all Isha had ever known. And she knew, without ever having to experience the alternative, that she didn't WANT it 'easy.' She just wanted her Mama. And Isha had believed, as most children tended to believe, that the present moment would last forever.
"I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna ever learn
How to fall asleep without you"Surviving with Ekko wasn't always easy, but for months it was all she'd ever known. And while she yearned to find her Mama again, Isha found comfort in the mysterious man who seemed to know her almost too well. And she found she didn't WANT it 'easy.' She just wanted him, her Papa. But she knew, as some children were forced to learn, that it wouldn't last forever.
What was that saying her Papa liked to use all the time?
"If you can't make the most out of any given moment, then you don’t deserve a single extra second."

Summary
This fic was directly based on an art piece made by my wonderfully talented and devastatingly amazing friend Astraal on Twitter (X)!
Astraal messaged me her art before it was posted and I freaked out. Her messages to me after my freak-out:
"I need you to do a one shot of that
Joking
Or not"
And I took that personally.
P.S. The mask stays *on* for this fic.

Summary
In the courtyard of the Schnee Estate, Ruby and Nora help Penny realize she has a soul within her, that she’s always been more than a machine. Ruby calls Jaune over to empower Penny’s Aura with his Semblance, but he says: “I can’t just boost her Aura forever”
The eventual conclusion of this is to take Penny to the Vault where the Relic is stored, and then wish upon Ambrosius to “make a new version of her, using her exact same robot parts.”
But what if things went a different way?
Willpower is quite possibly the strongest thing at Humanity and Faunus-kind’s (peoples/persons) disposal—the tool that allowed them to survive and in some ways thrive in the presence of relentless Grimm attacks and total domination of the world by the creatures of Darkness.
Penny has Aura. Penny has a soul. Penny is a person. Penny has willpower.
It’s thanks to Jaune she realizes this, and thanks to Ruby and Nora that she realizes she’s been a person since she was first created. Penny doesn’t need to be ‘human’ to be “real”, nor be ‘real’ to be “human”. She just is, as she always has been. The miracle of Pietro’s work.
