    Summary

    The older man looked at him like he was stupid. Which was generally a look Jabber had come to know and expect over the years. “Which is why won’t be fighting, Jabber,” He said, like he had to explain this to a child. Jabber dug his nails into his thigh. “You’re going to join the Cleaners.”

    What? “What?”

    Jabber was given a very simple job—an easier one than all of the others Zodyl’s ever given him in the past! Gain the Cleaner’s trust, get to a position where he has access to a lot of information, give it the bossman and watch the entire HQ crumble and burn in a dumpster fire. Easy, right?

    Too simple—the way they take him with a few bats of his eyes, the way they believe his technical truths. (He’s never liked lying.) He won’t be there for long, he tells himself. It won’t mean anything, if he stays during movie nights instead of immediately retreating to his room. It won’t mean anything if he’s giggling while sitting on counter tops while Zanka and Riyo cook. It won’t matter if he ruffles Rudo’s hair or let Enjin put a hand on his shoulder. It shouldn’t matter. It won’t matter.

    He’s still got a relatively easy job to do. And a reward to gain. How hard can it be?

    Summary

    Zanka still couldn't shake the feeling of wrongness about all of this. A feeling he remembers he had when they were tricked by raiders into their muddy trap. But Enjin was with them this time and Rudo had a much better grasp on his jinki than he did before so if it were a trap they should be good. Still, Lovely vibrated with the sentiment of 'Go now. Not safe. Go.' Zanka softly murmured comforting words to his her as they made their way towards wherever the monsters had flown too. They were gonna be fine.

    Or
    Stuff goes terribly wrong on a mission involving new types of trash beasts leading to the cleaners thinking Zanka died. He did die but he wasn't gonna be dead for long.

    Summary

    When Jabber steps towards him, Zanka’s stomach drops. He can’t feel the vibrations through the floor at all, but he can see Jabber’s bare feet touching the floor. At this distance, not even someone as nimble as Riyo could escape him completely, so why is Jabber– someone who is not likely a trained mercenary– perfectly silent? It’s almost as if he’s a ghost.

    “Noticed it, huh?” Jabber laughs, raising an eyebrow, and Zanka stills.

    Or: Jabber dies, and Zanka is the only one who can see his ghost. This inevitably causes a lot of problems.

    Summary

    “I thought it was Follo!”

    Enjin raked a hand through his hair hard enough to disturb the careful lines of it, boots striking the corridor floor in quick, directionless beats. He wasn't sure where he would go, maybe outside, maybe on a loooong walk out into No Mans Land and then just keep going.

    “Why the fuck would it have been Follo?”

    or--

    Enjin catches Zanka with his midnight visitor and realizes that this isn't something he parent his way out of. The heart wants what the heart wants and he knows that better than anyone. Technically a chapter 4 to Under His Hand that I preferred as a stand alone.

    Summary

    Zanka knew that carrying out a relationship with a Raider as a Cleaner would be complicated. He knew he'd have to be careful. More than careful. He'd have to be perfect- no matter what, no one could find out about the truth. Not when he knew what the consequences would be.

    Naturally, he slips up anyways, accidentally mentioning Jabber's name at HQ, and it’s all over.

    Except its not. Because there's good news and bad news.

    The good news was that Zanka hadn't actually said Jabber's name. Instead, he'd said a nickname. A nickname that nobody knew referred to Jabber.

    The bad news was that now all the Cleaners thought that Zanka had a girlfriend named Abby, and if he wanted to keep his job, his family, and his relationship with Jabber, he was going to have to keep up the charade.

    What could go wrong?

    (Spoiler Alert: Everything. Everything goes wrong.)

    By the time they find him, it's already too late.


    Or, the one where freak4freak Janka (impulsively) bond each other and the Cleaners find out in, quite possibly, the messiest, most prolonged way possible.

    Summary

    He didn't intend to be a traitor. To have developed a routine of fighting, fucking, and fixing with the Raiders’ most unhinged weapon, the very man he had sworn to neutralize with whatever his mediocre staff can do to an immovable force.

    It's an active operational security breach thrumming in his veins every time his heart stutters. He didn't know that he signed up for that through every single clash of metal on metal — and of lips on lips.

    Now the captain and the boss know. So he's facing consequences.

    And it's all biting him in the ass.

    Summary

    Zanka earned his first victory against Jabber. Tipping the scale might have tipped them into each other, but if the solution they made was a deadlier thing than they'd ever been as separate components, that was neither here nor there.

    Jabber and Zanka learn to embrace each other like the blade of a guillotine embraces the skin of a neck: eager and with irreversible damage. Just like Sisyphus, one must imagine them happy.

    Summary

    After a reckless night, Zanka finds his whole world turning upside down by the force that is Jabber Wonger, a stranger who embodied everything Zanka had been taught to denounce. Everything in his life gets redefined, leaving him unsteady and lost.

    And free.

     

    (Zanka is gonna be frustrating as hell at first, bear with me he has character development to go through!)

    Edit 4/1: Please do not ask me who tops and who bottoms. I will not answer. This fic is not only about sex, there's a story being told, a larger narrative. If the most important thing to you when reading this is who tops and who bottoms, this story isn't for you. Thank you.

    Summary

    A sharp pain stirred Zanka awake, and his senses turned on one by one. All of his joints and muscles remembered to ache. His head and ears pounded. He stirred slightly and felt a painful shift in his chest. His mask and jinki weren't on him, he could tell. What happened?? All he could remember was the Raiders showing up out of the blue and complicating their whole situation.

    Something moved underneath him. An arm that didn’t belong to him? He followed it up to the shoulder, and was met with the last face he wanted to see at a time like this.

    “Morning Mr. Bad Attitude,” Jabber snickered on the floor next to him. Oh. Now he remembered. He had fallen into the Viper’s Wake while battling this freak.

    Summary

    For you, for me - he clutches the worn wood of the staff tightly to his chest, like a child seeking comfort in its favorite stuffed animal - I will not allow you to be ripped away from me.

    When it's with him, his soul feels whole.

    The massive hole is gone, the voices of doubt in his head quieted by the sensation of old wood against his palms.

    Summary

    When Zanka was six, he tried poison for the first time. His father, a shoo-in for some position or another, had been targeted by an assassination attempt. So as a precaution, all the Nijikus - even little Zanka - had to prepare for any scenario. They ran drills until their fingers bled, doubled down on self-defence technique, and started ingesting small bits of poison to build up an immunity.

    Eleven years on, Zanka doesn't live with his family anymore, but his life certainly is in danger thanks to one poison obsessed individual. Jabber is crazy, competitive, and the only thing Zanka’s been able to think about for weeks. Each time he faces a poison-tipped claw, he can’t help but wonder if he’s building up an immunity or falling into a new addiction.

    Summary

    The man underneath him is one of those lazily charming guys who can get you to abandon common sense in favor of a quick hook-up with no strings attached. His smile is full of red flags, the kind you purposely search for when you’re having a bad day and you need something to take the edge off. Normally, Zanka’s too proper to give in to this kind of poison, but a botched mission has him chasing something, anything, to take his mind off of it.

    [Or, the one where Jabber and Zanka have a one-night stand, unaware that they work for two different organizations that despise each other. Oops.]

    Summary

    Zanka knew that this was a bad idea. On so many levels.

    But that’s the deal with an addiction right? You know how bad it is, you know how disappointing it would be for your dear ones to find out about it, you know how dangerous it can be to your body and mind… But you just can’t help being drawn to it.

    That’s what Jabber was to Zanka. Sadly.

     

    or: in a world where humans and vampires relationships are reguled by hatred and distrust, Jabber and Zanka might not hate each other that much.

    La•cu•na (n)
    a blank space, a missing part

    “Zanka?” Enjin calls again, “You… you hit your head pretty hard.”

    “No shit, with this headache,” Zanka grumbles. He glances up at Zodyl, pulling a face, and carefully wiggles out of his hold, standing on his own two feet. He sways a bit, then says, “Who the hell are you people?”

    Interesting. Zodyl’s mind begins spinning, ideas and experiments spilling into his thoughts as Zanka assesses both them and the Cleaners with an unfamiliar gaze.

    “Kyouka,” he says then, “What… what’s going on?”

    On a joint mission with the Hellguard, Zanka takes a hit to the head. Zodyl sees an opportunity and takes it.

    Summary

    Jabber Wonger was the face of The Raiders.

    He sang about whatever he liked. Smoked what he wanted. Fucked whoever he wanted.

    Jabber Wonger didn’t feel shame. Jabber Wonger didn’t care about anything but music.

    And Jabber Wonger definitely didn’t get flustered. Especially not by a “rival” bassist whose honey-smooth voice made his teeth ache.

    There’s galaxies in Jabber’s eyes, entire universes full of stories and experiences that Zanka can’t even begin to comprehend. It feels like he’s lived a thousand lives, and somehow, Zanka knows he’ll live a thousand more.

    [Or: What if Jabber were immortal and kept running into Zanka in various lifetimes?]
