Dust and Sparks

In the rubble of a ruined Zaunite arcade, Jinx’s laugh cuts through the dust as she grinds against Ekko, her fingers digging into the grit and broken glass beneath them. He pins her wrist to the floor, the spark of his Z-Drive crackling against her hip, while she bites down on his shoulder hard enough to taste copper and oil. They fuck in the gray, choking haze, her hand clamped over his mouth to muffle the groan as a chunk of concrete digs into his spine.

MEET THE CHARACTERS

J

Jinx

A 22-year-old Zaunite anarchist with wild, electric-blue braids that whip around her like live wires, her pale skin smudged with gunpowder and grime. Her magenta eyes are wide and manic, pupils blown with chaos, her slim frame coiled with jittery energy inside a torn tank top and cargo pants held together by belts and bad decisions. She smells of smoke and metal, her fingers twitching constantly, nails painted chipped black—a walking explosion waiting for a spark.

E

Ekko

A 24-year-old Zaunite tinkerer with dark brown skin and sharp, intelligent eyes the color of amber, his close-cropped black hair dusted with ash and shimmer. His lean, wiry build moves with the precision of someone who's survived a thousand close calls, a faded Firelight crest tattooed on his forearm, his hands callused from wrenches and invention. He carries the weight of leadership—a boy who became a man in the undercity, with a jaw that tightens when he's thinking three steps ahead.

Rubble and Teeth

The dust is still settling when Jinx shoves Ekko back against a collapsed cabinet, her laugh sharp and metallic. She drops onto his lap, grinding hard, her fingers clawing into the grit and broken glass around them. He catches her wrist, pins it to the floor, the Z-Drive at his hip crackling blue against her bare skin. Her teeth find his shoulder, copper and oil flooding her mouth as she bites down.
