    Summary

    Rudo heeded Enjin’s words carefully. On the Ground, information was power. And with many questions and too little answers, it becomes apparent that the Cleaners need to hire the services of an information broker. Kuro’s prices are too high, and with Arkha Corvus being in and out of their reach, the need for another information broker becomes their new priority. And to everyone’s surprise, Fu may know someone.

    Or: Enjin never met Zanka that fateful day, and instead, Zanka has managed to leave his family on his own, joining the dark underworld of the Ground and becoming an information broker.

    Summary

    “What, you gonna call daddy to come beat me up?” Dreads mocks him, sticking out his bottom lip in an exaggerated pout.

    Zanka feels the anger bubble up inside him at the comment, hot and cloying as it courses through his veins—and decides he needs to go home, right now, or someone’s getting punched. “Fuck you. I’m leavin’.” Then he turns on his heel to march to the back door of August’s house.

    “Yeah, call your limo, pretty boy!”

    Okay. That’s enough.

    Zanka turns back around, cocks his arm back, and decks the guy in the face.

    Or, alternatively: How the meet-ugly of the goddamn century catapults newly broke college student Zanka Nijiku head-fucking-first into the strangest, weirdest, most evilly convoluted situationship of his life.

    Summary

    Zanka knew he was obsessive, but even he had to admit that this was a new low. He'd been stalking Jabber for over a month, for seemingly no reason beyond a morbid curiosity to figure out what made him tick.

    After losing again and again, Zanka promises himself that he will become strong enough to put the Raider in his place and to prove that an Average Joe could beat a natural talent, by any means necessary. A well-timed letter may be just the push he needs.

    Or,

    Zanka tries going back to find a way forward.

    Summary

    The sliding door barely snaps close before Akaza's knee hits the tatami. For all his haste, he dreads what he might find. A husk, bled of all light and fire– unrecognisable, or perhaps even worse, familiar– this pain between his ribs, suspended in amber, a fractal of three–

    The lump of blankets wracks itself with another coughing fit, and unthinking of his fear, Akaza reaches out. (To what? Help? Soothe? Save? He is a demon. Such concepts are anathema. And yet, it's Kyojuro.

    Akaza was reaching out to him before he knew his name.)

    *

    Or: Akaza seeks out Kyojuro only to find him sick. It is the first time he's seen him like this (yet, it's so familiar.)

    Summary

    It took five minutes of ringing, and a lot of odd looks from passersby wondering why he didn't just answer his choker before Jabber finally folded and accepted the call from none other than- “Enjin,” he groaned, “This better be ‘bout a fight, ‘cause there ain’t no other reason to be calling me.”

    Pausing, he let the other man respond as he wandered through the various stalls the city had to offer. He nodded along to whatever he was saying, only really paying attention to every other word the man said before he stopped in his tracks. “What do y’mean you found a sphereite?”

    Or, what if Enjin never made it to that well and instead picked up a different stray
