    Summary

    “I don’t think I’ve ever seen an actual coffee pot before.”

    Dana raised an eyebrow. “Never seen a coffee pot?”

    “Like, I’ve never seen the pot itself, you know? Just, like, the espresso machines at Starbucks, Keurigs—those sort of things.”

    Dana’s arched eyebrow ticked up a centimeter higher as she squinted at Emma for a long moment.

    Abruptly anxious beneath her scrutiny, Emma reached for her waist to fidget with something, only to remember the charge nurse had plucked most of her belongings from her pockets on arrival. She settled with flicking her name badge between her fingers.

    “Kid, are you younger than this coffee maker?”

    ---

    Or: How Emma and Dana slowly, somewhat reluctantly, come to accept their feelings for each other.

    Summary

    Jabber invades Zanka's mind after the battle inside the trash beast, leaving the cleaner wondering which was real and which was not.
    aka
    Zanka hallucinates he makes out with Jabber thanks to the venomenal hallucinogen and becomes obsessed.

    or better explained

    A story about two young enemies slowly getting tangled up in each other's lives, barriers thinning, feelings thickening. Discoveries from the past pursue them, curiosity blooms into everything, and in the end, maybe Jabber was right when he said Zanka was just like him.

    Summary

    Everyone knows that alphas and omegas are exceptional, possessing skills and senses that betas lack.

    And everyone knows that alphas and omegas can’t mate or bond with betas.

    Zanka Nijiku, since he presented as a beta, always knew he needed to work twice as hard to even be able to be on the same playing field as his teammates. To especially prepare for anything that might come his way.

    What he wouldn’t be able to prepare for is for Jabber Wonger to decide to finally make Zanka his mate.

    Summary

    Jabber’s pink eyes dart over to Zanka, stabbing into the fast-beating heart behind his ribcage. There’s a dangerous gleam below the usual haze, and slowly but steadily, the corners of Jabber’s mouth tug into an impossibly broad grin. He wipes his nose with the entire length of his sleeve, and Zanka can’t tear his eyes away from the tongue that darts out to catch some of the blood running down his face. When he smiles, his teeth are coated in red, and the sight makes Zanka’s stomach flip.

    or: distraction from a normal shopping trip, an exchange, and teething problems.

    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

    Jabber finds it beautiful, the way they bleed in tandem. Even as they rasp their last breaths, he can't help but fall in love with Zanka, all over again.

    His eyes don't part from Zanka's face, and the fact Zanka's eyes don't part from his fills him with so much.

    Summary

    "I worked hard on this," August says, his voice regaining a little of its typical energy while he flaunts a dossier full of designs. "You're a hard man to create for though."

    "Is that your way of calling me ugly?" Enjin asks, peeking over at the pages with unrepressed awe. He never fails to be impressed by August's creativity, nor the even-handedness of his linework.

    "Quite the opposite."

    Or: Enjin still needs to be fitted for his Doll Fest outfit.

    Summary

    Enjin notices it first, eyes going wide and unable to look away. Zanka doesn’t say anything, just lets him get an eyeful of the ten, pretty silver rings decorating his fingers and pretending that they’ve always been there, that they belong there.

    Zanka takes good care of vital instruments. It’s why he’s considered the best at handling them, after all.

    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.

    Summary

    Teaching Rudo how to fight came with three major benefits:

    1. Rudo could hold his own already, which meant Jabber could be tough on him.
    2. It was surprisingly fun, the two getting along well in and out of the ring.
    3. Rudo's dad was hot ASF.

    Jabber, on his own, decided that he'd be a GREAT influence on Rudo, unlike the hard ass that got between them the first time they met. They exchanged a couple hits, and eventually contact info, and started a perilous training journey - but he was going to turn Rudo into a killing machine! With the additional perk of getting ****** up by Rudo's dad one way or another... Jabber just needed to make sure he keeps his head on straight.

    Summary

    Coming to a decision, he steps closer, stooping down to wrap his arms around Jabber’s knees and lifting the raider in one swift motion, throwing him over his shoulder before he begins stalking off. Jabber makes a weird, indecipherable sound as he’s heaved upward, something that might have been an excited squeal.

    “Whoa!” He yelps, flailing a bit as he tries to look at Zanka, despite the awkward positioning. “Where are you taking me, Zan-Zan?” He couldn’t sound more excited about this development if he tried, and the thought has Zanka snorting quietly to himself.

    “Somewhere we can battle, obviously. I’m not fightin’ ya outside a’ cleaner HQ.”

    “Why not? You afraid of havin’ a little audience? Or is it that you don’t want them to watch the way we fight?” The raider’s voice glides down Zanka’s spine, slow like syrup, and he says the word ‘fight’ as if it meant ‘fuck’, which promptly empties Zanka’s mind of nearly all its thoughts.

    Or, five times Zanka picks up Jabber, and one time something comes of it.

    Jabber leans across the gap between them, rests his elbow on the velvet arm of Zanka's chair. Jabber is the human here, and yet Zanka can't help feeling preyed upon by the sharp, hungry light in his eyes. His pulse quickens.

    Summary

    Zanka seems to be holding something. Jabber's eyes gravitating towards it. It's cake. 

    “Had to finish the icing, took too damn long tryin' to–,” Zanka begins before being interrupted by the Raider. 

    “The fuck?”

    Zanka hesitates. “It's yer birthday, right? Could've sworn it was…” 

    He looks sheepish, swaying side to side a bit, as if he doesn't know how to act. Zanka looks genuine

    Jabber's heart lurches.

    Zanka bakes Jabber a cake. Jabber doesn't take it well.

    Summary

    It was always going to end like this. There was no other way it could end. Zanka knew that from the beginning, they both did.

    Was it hubris to think he could stop fate? Was it love to want to try anyways?

     or

    Jabber's death, and the months that lead up to it.

    the intense Calamity the duo always had together, it really did have to come to an end at some point.

    He tried digging deep into his skin, he wanted to take his dead, un-pumped heart and preserve it for himself.

    He wasn’t strong enough.

    He wasn’t strong enough to dig into his skin and take what was most connected to him, to give him comfort.

    Oh Zanka, what have you done?

    “This is unfortunately starting to get impressive.”
