Someone in the Dark by Anonymous
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016), Michael Jackson (Musician)
20 Aug 2026
Tags
Summary
Michael was always good at directions. Always. Sure, if anyone asked Bill Bray, he would say Michael drove like a demon, but Michael disagreed. He was a perfectly fine driver if he knew where he was going.
That said…
Michael Jackson was supposed to be at the Miami Orange Bowl by six. Instead, he took one wrong turn and ended up in Hawkins, Indiana, with a sprained —or probably broken— ankle, probably concussed, and being chased by something with too many teeth.
Oh, and a bunch of teenagers were planning to kill a baby version of the monster.
No one was ever going to believe his story.Series

Wash My Hands and Hold Them Too by Honey_Bunniz

Summary
“Well,” the man starts again, like none of that just passed through Rudo’s head, like he didn’t almost bolt across the table. He clears his throat, then flashes a small, easy smile. “Guess introductions are in order.”
Rudo doesn’t return it.
“Name’s Enjin,” he says. “I work with foster care and CPS. I take care of kids in situations like yours.”
The words land heavy. Cold. They sink into Rudo’s chest like stones dropped into water, the ripple slow but suffocating.
Cps.
Rudo’s grip on the stuffed animal tightens.
There’s no one left to take care of him.
Understanding settles in, sharp and absolute.
He’s going back into the system.
(Or: After the mysterious death of his father, Rudo is put into a foster home and learns what it means to heal and be loved.)

All Our Songs Are Trash by IlidaeAndQuill

Summary
Gachiakuta Musician/Band AU
-
"You wanna join our band?”
Those words weren't real.
Surely.
But the girl who spoke them was looking his way, shooting him that same lopsided smile she tossed at the lead guitarist, and Zanka studied Rudo’s reactions with a hope in his eyes he hadn’t noticed before.
They were looking at him like Riyo’s offer was real, like Zanka’s dreams had a goal. Like Rudo might have a place to belong.
"You don't have to," Riyo said, casually. She was far too mellow like this: hand across the strings of her bass, gaze dim in the garage she called home. "All our songs are trash, but we could really use a drummer."
-
In which Rudo, orphaned punk from an overseas haven, joins a rock band.

Piercing cries, overwhelming tantrums, and the strange language they seem to speak all confuse him, wear down his patience, and -at worst- make him feel useless and out of place. And yet, through a series of unforeseen incidents, he ends up becoming the babysitter of the youngest member of the Akuta team.
OR; Rudo turns into a four-year-old child.

Summary
"GREAT! Just great! As if this could GET any better!" Zanka bites out, seething. Of course he's stuck here, injured, in a damp, dirty cell, and of course he's stuck here with fucking Jabber of all people.
Jabber whistles appreciatively, "Man, you're in a mood today. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" and cackles at his own joke. Zanka's gonna strangle him. He's gonna rip out those bars with his bare hands and use them to beat Jabber to death.
or
Zanka is taken by some people who want to study givers. Jabber is there too. This somehow makes everything both better and so much worse.

Recent Google Search: How to block an annoying person you met online in real life? by nonangelic
Fandoms: Gachiakuta (Manga), Gachiakuta (Anime)
24 Nov 2025

Summary
To say this guy was annoying would be an understatement. He seemed like he got off on this kind of crap, like making people angry was fun for him or something.
"Could you leave me alone, please?" Zanka finally spoke.
The guy suddenly stopped jumping around, as if Zanka asking to be left alone was a big deal or something.
"You seem like a funny guy. Let's be friends, Mr. Bad Attitude!"
-
Video games were banned in Zanka's household, but now that he's away from home to attend university, this is his chance at trying something new. If he's lucky, he can use this as an opportunity to make friends.
Surely nothing will go wrong, right?

Summary
Zanka is always getting wrapped up in Jabber’s games (fights, more like it, and not that he minds), but when he finally pulls Jabber into his game, suddenly the tables are taking a very unexpected turn.
@cryptidcorvidae888 on tiktok posted about Jabber not knowing how to handle affection and Zanka eating it up, and you know what? He’s exactly correct! So I wrote a fic about it 😁

Summary
It was never fair from the start, was it? Jabber thinks, and he’s not sure whether to be envious or so deeply endeared to Zanka for it, but, You always had that upper hand. You were always going to win, weren’t you?
Zanka, unconscious, cannot answer to his thoughts. Jabber scrunches the cotton sheets in his hand and wonders why he feels so sick in the stomach.
After a brutal fight, both Jabber and Zanka must learn how to heal. For Jabber, it means coming to terms with his own desires. For Zanka, it means forgiveness- and perhaps acceptance, too.

Summary
“This,” Zanka snarls, thrusting his broken weapon in Jabber’s direction, “Is what happens when ya do things that’re best for me!”
Jabber is silent, staring at the crack in Assistaff as Zanka steps toward him with fury running hotly through his veins like fire. What he must be feeling, Zanka doesn’t know— he’s starting to find he doesn’t really care.
Jabber struggles to cope with the foreign weight of his own emotions. Zanka searches desperately for a way to save himself, but there's only so much his heart can take before he succumbs to his long-accumulated anger.

Summary
To the Cleaners, their bond doesn’t make sense— they don’t know, likely won’t ever know what they went through together, how Jabber initiated and Zanka, in an unhinged rush of stress, pain and desire, met him halfway.
They’re too similar not to have ended up like this, he thinks bleakly. Maybe it was bound to have happened, one way or another.
After the loop, Zanka recovers. But recovery is not a steady slope, and before the healing process can begin, all infected areas must be purged. The question is: once all the ugly bits are cut away, how much of Zanka really remains?
A continuation of Larkspur.

Summary
Zanka’s breaths are short and wet– he’s not long for this world. Without his mask and with that gaping wound in his chest, anyone can see that he’s not going to survive more than another minute or so. Jabber sits beside him, giddy with anticipation as he waits for Zanka's inevitable death.
Jabber gets trapped in a time loop where Zanka dies, over and over. It doesn't bother him- he loves the look on Zanka's face as the light fades from his eyes- until he comes to a few realisations about himself, and then it really, really does.
