[I'll be using this for the FFN upload cover as well!]
Summary: Several years after the Split, Piltover and Zaun’s symbiotic societies are on the cusp of prospering. With a bright future on the way for many Pilties—and even some Zaunites—Jinx is left with nothing but wonder for what her future entails. But what’s she to do when her path leads down to the pair of orphaned Zaunites: bombardier Zel and pickpocketer Evi?
Simple: do better.
MASSIVE shoutout to decydoodles (insta link) for doing this commission for me! The second I thought about doing an Arcane/LoR fanfic I knew who I wanted to do the cover art and sure enough: she delivered beyond expecations. ( ^‿^) Be sure to check out her work too!
So what else does this future fic entail? Well... feel free to ask about it! For now, I'll say I've taken heavy inspirations from the Legends of Runeterra lore and many a future Jinx AUs. I also wanted to explore a side of LoR, especially the card game's multiple stories, and pulled characters from the game!
Zel is the Boomcrew Rookie card and Evi is the Zaunite Urchin card! They're some of my favourite follower cards in the game. I've taken voice lines, trivia, and all the likes to really get a grasp at these characters while also making them my own.
To get into a bit of the nitty gritty of the writing, this is actually really exciting as this is kind of my first dip into a more... "Mature" fanfic rating. Nothing sexually explicit or graphic is gonna exactly happen, but the canon-typical violence/cursing we see in Arcane is a factor here. So I have to emulate that across an aged up Jinx and well, you get the picture. You can expect the same amount of dumb jokes and innuendoes you usually see if you're familiar with my work, but now the M rating is just less... restrictive toward some of those lines.
Also, I did something kind of new with the narrative writing and I'm excited to see what y'all think of it when it comes out...
The première for the first chapter of TMUT goes live April 20th, 2022! And after that, it shall continue on a biweekly basis. EDIT: It’s out now!
If you have questions, go ahead and ask! I'm always down to chat. (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
