    Summary

    After their fights —though it feels more of a game, a test—, Zanka usually finds himself laying down on the ground, hoping to catch his breath. Not for the first time, Jabber joins him there, patiently awaiting him until he was ready to stand back up.

    In this softness, in this pause, Zanka's emotions spill. It's hard for them not to, through these "dates" (as Jabber calls them) that show Jabber's emotions for him so transparently.

    Summary

    Behind the stoic, collected facade of being a Hell Guard, of being a Nijiku, Kyoka is not blind. Beyond the disillusionment, beyond the bitterness of seeing Zanka perform well with that stick as a weapon, Kyoka is well aware of the ways Zanka didn't fit within the family's expectations. Kyoka is well aware of the way Zanka's eyes trail after the blond Cleaner with tattoos.

    Which is why she seeks Enjin later at night, when the Cleaner has stopped by. Which is why reluctantly, bitterly, she comes to terms with Zanka's inevitable departure.

    // An interaction between Kyoka and Enjin regarding Zanka. And Kyoka's acceptance that Zanka would be better off with the Cleaners.

    Summary

    ON HIATUS until I feel horrible again lol

     

    Zanka can’t live up to the expectations of his family and of himself, so why live at all?

    OR

    Zanka attempts suicide, and Jabber saves his life.

    Summary

    -I Really Hope You Get It (AJR, “Betty”)

    8+1 of Enjin and the strays he’s collected.

    This was inspired by a tweet about throwing cans at Enjin and now it’s extending into him being a dickhead older brother to the others.

    He is getting cans thrown at him in each chapter.

    (Rudo’s chapter has been rewritten so be aware of that)

    Summary

    Eisha could seal up his wounds, but she couldn’t get the poison out. All they could do was keep Zanka company as he rides out the effects of three different toxins coursing through his veins.

    Basically a hurt/comfort fic of Zanka’s painful recovery from the toxins that Jabber hit him with.
