    Summary

    “How do you kiss someone?”

    Jabber chokes on air. Air, of all things. Not water or food or the lingering residue of a chemical mixture, but the very air he’s breathing. “Pardon?”

    “Did you just say pardon?”

    “Yeah. I did. Pardon?!”

    [Or, the Jabber and Zanka Valentine’s Day fic where Zanka asks Jabber to teach him how to kiss a boy, though he may not actually need any practice.]

    Summary

    Because Mankira isn't nothing, she's not a weapon. She's history, she's survival, she's a soul. The piece of his soul that, through everything, through the gap people failed to bridge, got sharpened instead of shaved.

    Zanka talks to her like she's precious, like she's worth that shred of gentleness. And it…it feels a little like Zanka is talking to Jabber himself.

    Jabber doesn't know how to act.

    -
    Zanka incorporates Mankira into his morning routine. Jabber copes with the mortifying ordeal of being known.

    To be loved is to be seen.

    Summary

    “Let me see if I understand this,” Riyo says, trying to find the right words. “You want me to help you… get together with Zanka? Like… legitimately? And not just in your delusional little fantasies?”

    “Hey now, it ain’t just shit in my head. He reciprocates maybe… two percent of the time.”

    “Huh.” She can see that, actually.

    [Or, Jabber wants to solidify his (one-sided, maybe, it’s complicated) relationship with Zanka and goes to Riyo for help, because if anyone knows Zanka (not as much as he does, but it’s sufficient enough) then it’s his good ol’ friend Bang Bang.]

    Summary

    Once or twice, when Henry was young, he wondered how it would feel, to be hugged, as he watched his parents hug his little sister. He quickly abandoned such nonsense -- the desire to be held -- when he grew older.

    He didn't need hugs, stopped wanting them, even before he became Peter Ballard. He certainly didn't need one, and would most definitely never receive one, as a monster haunting the Upside Down.

    The thing is, life worked in a funny way sometimes. Who would've thought he'd have his first hug after he became a literal monster?

    Vecna got a hug, and no, his first hug wasn't when he posed as Max's mom. It was way before that.
