Ezreal's kinda great actually.

Ez is a champ I used to love to hate, but he grew on me because once you get past his arrogant showboating e-boy wannabe shonen protagonist energy (and boy is it a lot) the fact that his entire ... the above thing is a masquerade for a lonely young man who blames himself for being abandoned by his parents is....wow ouch.

His backstory…oof, give that boy a hug. IDC what Christian Linke says, he would be fine in an Arcane-like show if you leaned into his bravado being a mask for loss.

I know we all rag on his crush on Lux, it's basically a running joke at this point but it's also an interesting bit of characterization…like the rest of his cocky adventurer persona it's completely superficial, he doesn't know anything about her except that she's blonde and pretty, and she doesn't know who he is.

And ofc they can't really work as a romance because Lux has SO MUCH GOING ON that has nothing to do with Ezreal, and her story is firmly grounded in Demacia, her family, and the plight of the Demacian mages, while Ezreal's story is all about his globetrotting adventures, his tomb raiding, his search for his parents.

If he stays with her, his story ends, if she goes with him, her story ends. They could in theory be a cute Disney protagonist romance, but the incompatibility of their storylines and the way Riot has spent probably over a decade now playing his feelings for laughs as a cringe, nigh-stalkery crush and her complete disinterest doesn't bode well for any kind of actual relationship coming of it.

It's not an evilbadtoxic ship by any means, it's just, imo, a bit of a nothingburger without enough actual connection or chemistry to make it worth sacrificing both characters for 'the ship'.

So the crush is funny (and Jarro Lightfeather is hysterical) but a critical part of an Ezreal character arc would be getting over it and moving on, imo. You don't give a guy a shallow stalker crush and then reward him with 'getting the girl' and call it character development, it's only character development if he doesn't.

Ez is at his most interesting when you can see the glimmers of him getting over himself and being the genuine hero he could be. (turning back to help Kai'Sa in Warriors is a good example).

I could really, really enjoy an Ezreal show where he ends up in a fun little D&D party with Kai'Sa and Taliyah running around Shurima exploring ancient ruins and battling Void horrors. I would LIVE for the comedic value of Ezreal being the most annoying showboaty jackass he possibly could be ("Ha ha! It's ALL skill") trying to impress the intimidatingly baddass Kai'Sa, whilst she's just so deadpan Raised By Wolves socially awkward killing-machine-trying-to-reconnect-to-humanity that she just takes him completely in stride.

Ez getting increasingly ridiculous in his antics and just completely failing to either impress OR annoy Kai'Sa would be just comedy gold, imo. Alternatively, getting back into the 'canon bi route' and my Ezko agenda, he he, Ezreal and Ekko actually make a really interesting pairing in the main timeline because

They've got a LITTLE bit of that oil-and-water energy with Ezreal being a Piltie, but he's an adventurous, inquisitive Piltie who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, so Ekko would appreciate that even as he was giving the guy MASSIVE sideeye for all the cultural theft.

Ezreal would annoy the shit out of Ekko, since he's such a damn poser and Ekko is such a genuine, grounded guy.

They're both very, very intelligent, though, and they're both big fat nerds. Ekko is much more on the genius tinkerer and inventor science nerd end and Ezreal much more on the lore, culture, history nerd end, but they are both big nerds.

I think Ezreal would be just in awe of Ekko from the moment they met. 'This guy is so f'cking COOL how do i get him to think I'm COOL' and then drive Ekko up the wall overcompensating trying to get his attention/approval but coming off as being hypercompetitive and showboaty.

But if Ekko (especially League Ekko, whose parents are such a big part of his story) gets a whiff of Ezreal's past and his parents, he's going to start seeing through Ez's masquerade very quick, and if there's one thing Ekko is, it's a compassionate person, a carer, who just wants to help.

The boys could bond over shared adventurers plumbing the depths of Zaun for some secret mystery hidden in the ruins of Oshra Va'Zaun that could potentially be a threat to Zaun or the Firelights, and that Ezreal has an archaeologist's interest in.

You get all the back-and-forth dynamic, conflict, bickering, and slow burn affection that make Ezko a fantastic ship.

I might just write this.

What are some of the most interesting LoL pairings that you have seen? And have you ever thought about writing for a pairing other than LC?

There are a lot. LoL has a lot of interesting characters with a lot of potential. Just about every pairing has something unique to bring to the table. Some I like, some I don't.

A lot of the pairings I like (CaitVi, Zeri/Ekko, Ezko, KataGaren, Meljay, Jayvik, Renata/Sevika, Renata/Corina, etc) show up high key or low key as secondary or background ships in a ton of my fics already.

Seraphine in my fics is mostly just everyone's queerplatonic best friend, but she works as a ship with just about anyone in her PnZ peripherals and some others, she's such a sweetie, you can pair her up with everyone from Lightcannon to Rell to Zeri to Sona and it works. Not a fan of Renataphine though. Not out to yuck anyone's yums but that one's not for me, thanks.

Sera/Scratch is my favorite of hers, though, "tsundere grunge punk rocker / sugary bubblegum pop sweetheart but they both actually care deeply about the same cause, music-rivals-to-lovers" is peak, adorable, no notes.

MLM ships I'm less familiar with but TF/Graves, Jayvik and Ezko are all great (Ezko is my favorite), I don't have enough of an opinion on characters like Kayn or Sett or Aphelios or Taric to really explore their MLM ships but they seem neat at a distance.

There are few hetero ships that I really like at all in League because most of them are either 'already married' or have some kind of one-sidedness or offputting power dynamic going. But KataGaren, Meljay, EzKaisa, Zeri/Ekko (Flashback!) and as of Ruined King, Yasuo/Ahri are all pretty good. Because they all have interesting dynamics but they're all built on respect and partnership to some degree in ways the ones I dislike are not. I'd ship Braum and Illaoi but Braum's Everyone's Big Ace Buddy energy is so powerful I don't know if I can romance-ship him with anyone.

I also don't really fw with any of Lux or Jinx's het ships. There's just something about all of them that rubs me the wrong way. Their actual character dynamics with e.g Ezreal, Ekko, Sylas are really interesting to me and I like all of those characters. But making it a ship feels wrong to me for all of them and I couldn't just straight up write any of them. Again, not here to yuck yums but not for me.

I have an idea for a Caitjinx fic (and you may recognise that I've already kinda written Caitjinx and ViLux subplots in Heartsick Lovelorn & You, albeit in a fluffy highschool setting) but my actual CJ fic would be very dark and angsty and I don't think I have the spoons to write it right now.

I do also have a surprise LaserLightShow fic in mind at some point. I have already released the prequel fic to it, on the sly, people just haven't picked it yet :)
