    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

    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

    Zanka's got a new weapon to try out. A trap that binds enemies. He hadn't meant to get into a situation where he had to use it on a raider, but bad luck is bad luck. Might as well make the most of it.

    Unfortunately, he got cut on the way down, leaving him paralysed and in pain. And what is there to do when you're both unable to move but talk? Maybe he'll even get some useful advice from it. Maybe he’ll look at the glazed over, hungry eyes of the man beside him and see his own reflection staring back, mirroring him.

    Gifted or mediocre, they all bleed the same.
