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
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
“This your way of apologizin’?” Zanka asked, tone dry.
Rudo stiffened. “It’s not an apology.”
Zanka looked up, half a smirk playing at his lips again. “Sure feels like one.”
“I said it ain’t!” Rudo barked, louder than intended.
Zanka winced slightly from the noise but didn’t break eye contact.
Rudo looked away again, this time toward the cracked ceiling tiles.
There was a beat of quiet.
Then Zanka said, almost like he was talking to himself, “…I like my flowers red.”
Rudo scowled. “Then give it back.”
Zanka didn’t.
“…Nah. I’ll keep it.”
(Rewrite of when Zanka is hospitalized after his fight with Jabber)

Summary
The Cleaner with the staff for Vital Instrument is lame. Too weak, too foolish, too single-minded. At least that is Jabber's initial assumption. He is quickly proven wrong, and Jabber has never been more excited about it.
Zanka proves to be full of surprises, and Jabber finds himself eager by how appetizing he is.
// Bit of a more in-depth Character study and different frames compared to "Next time, perhaps".

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.
