    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.)

    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.

    Summary

    Rudo gasped awake, and before he could even move, he knew. He couldn’t even think, he just felt it in his bones, heart, blood, soul, arms—

    It was going to be a bad day.

    OR:

    Five times someone helped Rudo with his hands without needing to be asked, and one time Rudo finally asked for help.
