Summary
A ruin of yore left to decay, its frame like an old carcass, like a boat cemetery, like the empty scaffold around a house never built.
A secret within a secret.
Abandoned to oblivion, to the passing of time, as all things were bound to be.

◈Years later, Alicia finds the canvas again.

Summary
Gustave let go of a heavy sigh and nodded his head. Back in the Stone Wave Cliffs, he had come to peace that this was where his journey ended—For those who come after, right?—but it seemed like his story wasn't done just yet. Maelle had, somehow, given him another lease on life, and this time, he could live it. He could grow old. He could do things simply for the sake of doing them; every waking moment didn't have to be dedicated to trying to solve the issue with the Paintress, with preserving their civilization.

Summary
When you Paint, there are rules. In her grief, Aline broke them all.
The crack in the stability of the Canvas was all it took for the Writers to thread their own craft through it, letting them pull out a handful of inhabitants as their tethers to their world snapped. They explain it as a mercy to the confused members of Expedition 33 when they wake up in Paris. They tell them it was a rescue mission, to save them from the whims of the Painters—that this fight is now theirs, too.
But Gustave, Lune, Sciel and a very confused Maelle were not the only ones plucked from the Canvas. Beneath the Writer’s Council, Verso wakes in a locked cell, a new piece on the board of their war.
Turns out their Expedition might not be finished, after all.

Summary
A essay breakdown of Maelle's epilogue, with pictures and description. I make the argument that the canvas is not well.
Full game spoilers. Do not read if you haven't completed the game. This is not a story fic; it is a fan essay.

Summary
“Isha, this is. . . Ekko.” Jinx looked up at him. The same look in her gaze from when they last saw each other on the bridge before she released the safety pin on her bomb. The furrowed brows, the molten gaze and soft smile that faded as soon as it appeared. “An old friend.”
-
Ekko learns an invaluable lesson from Powder— carrying it to heart as he returns back to his timeline. The first thing he does is seek her. Only to find that she’s not alone when adorable gold eyes peered from behind a wary Jinx.She didn’t know what to make of Ekko but his words resonated deep within her. She wants to be deserving of Isha’s love. . . and maybe, down the road, his as well. She can only hope that she doesn’t jinx it.
In a whirlwind of events, Ekko and Jinx forge their own path to building something new in the wasteland they call home.
An alternate take on Arcane S2 Act III.
