Summary
For two years, Verso (Ekko) wandered under a name that no longer fit him, chasing the outline of a girl whose face he could never quite remember. Every trail ended in silence, every memory crumbled when he reached for it. Yet still he searched, through temples and ruins, through battles and scars, guided only by the ache that someone was missing.
At the journey’s end, when the Wild Rune blazed to life, he thought he had failed—that the past would swallow him alone. But she came. Blue hair, broken laughter, tears in her eyes as she hurled herself into his arms. Jinx. Powder. The girl he had forgotten, the girl who remembered him enough for both of them.
Together they vanished, the Rune’s light unmaking two years of sorrow, hurling them backward through time. Back to the beginning, where the city had never been kind. Back to the days when they were enemies, locked in endless conflict.
And there, without memory of what they had lost, Ekko and Jinx would meet again.

Summary
When Viktor ascends, the world ends.
Piltover and Zaun vanish beneath a drowned sky. Of all who fought, only two remain:
Ekko — the boy who shattered time, now cursed to remember it.
Jayce — the architect of a miracle turned massacre, too late to undo what he built.This is not a story of hope.
It is a story of recursion. Of failure repeating itself until the shape of something else emerges — not peace, not victory, but a chance to begin again.With the gods silent, the worldline collapsing, and the Void answering where no stars would, Ekko makes the only choice left:
To turn back the clock.
By any means necessary.A full time-travel fix-it set in the world of Arcane — but only if they survive long enough to reach the beginning again.
Thanks again for giving this story a shot. I really hope you enjoy.

Summary
When the Wild Rune spirals out of control, Jayce, Ekko, and Heimerdinger are torn from everything they know. Their bodies twist, fracture, and reforge, only to wake in a world that should not exist—a Runeterra reduced to ruins, its cities swallowed by decay, its people long gone.
In this realm of complete isolation, they discover Shinen from the manga Gachiakuta: a power where thoughts become tangible reality. They develop Vital Instruments—objects infused with emotional bonds that grant abilities reflecting their personalities.
After traversing desolation, bonding through trauma, and reaching the Hex-gate's peak to face imprisoned Viktor, they get the ultimate do-over: time travel to before Season 1 Episode 4.
With Anima energy that makes them much stronger then before, they steamroll through Arcane's problems. This is "fix-it by being ridiculously overpowered and brute-forcing a happy ending."
Three traumatized time travelers demolishing every threat in Piltover and Zaun with physics-defying thought powers while rebuilding their world—no matter what it takes.

Summary
What if Viktor succeeded in evolving Ekko’s body—but failed to take his mind?
In a broken, timeless world, an Ekko who refuses perfection endures centuries alone, his memories eroding until death feels like release. In the end, he makes a choice: to change fate itself. Passing his imperfect evolution and impossible powers to the Ekko of the past, he hopes his death means something, even if his life didn’t.
Now, with abilities far beyond what he ever imagined, Ekko faces Arcane’s story (beginning at Season 1, Episode 4) as a force no one expected. Overpowered, nearly unbreakable, and carrying every Firelight Jinx ever killed returned to him, he’ll decide how Piltover and Zaun’s story unfolds.
(Or:) Ekko with all the abilities from CONVERGENCE—plus timebomb. More Firelights, more day-to-day life, and him taking on far more than we saw in Arcane.
And remember: this is time travel. The path will twist, sometimes completely. Anything can happen :)

Summary
When everything falls apart, Jayce and Ekko make an impossible choice: tear themselves out of the present to rewrite the past.
But time is not a gentle thing — and they don't arrive whole.
With fractured memories and haunted hearts, they must navigate a city on the brink of collapse, trying to remember what they're fighting for before it's lost again.
A time-travel fix-it fic set in the world of Arcane, where second chances come with a cost.
Or for those who don't understand:
Ekko and Jayce manage to destroy Viktor — but far too late.
With nothing left but ruins and broken skies, they make one final, desperate attempt to return to the beginning.
