    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.

    Summary

    So… Enjin knows himself, and he knows he is not someone suited to dealing with children. 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

    “Like I said, I forget how old you are sometimes. When you first came down you were strong, and aggressive, and… infuriating.”

    … yeah that was fair. Rudo had been loud and demanding. But to be fair again, his dad had just gotten murdered and he’d gotten blamed for it and thrown off the sphere and was attacked by giant trash monsters.

    or

    Rudo has been through some stuff. Would it kill someone give this child a hug every once in a while?

    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.

    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.

    “Wow,” Zanka murmurs, in disbelief for the upteenth time that morning. “I'm so stupid.”

    “L'il bit,” Jabber shrugs. “S'fine though, still hot.”
