    Summary

    Zanka wasn't with Jabber to think, to show even the slightest modicum of rationality. He had known that getting involved with the toxin-crazed masochist maniac was a dumbfuck idea from the start and still went to see him again and again.

    To get stronger.

    Because nobody challenged him the way Jabber did. And then things went out of hand and they just kept going, tumbling down the abyss of insanity and violence so deeply embedded in his bones he could not separate it from his flesh without a thought to consider the consequences.

    Summary

    “Y'bein' real gentle with me, das cute.”

    Zanka snorts as he moves the cloth over a bizarre cluster of scars. “Y'got holes in ya.”

    The water splashes.

    “Yeah, I've got holes because I don't die,” Jabber hums, “that's a good thing.”

    Zanka frowns despite his better judgment. “I don't think so, man.”

    Hurt. Bathing. Acting like you don't care when you absolutely do. The bane of their existence.

    Summary

    How pitiable for the solvent to love the solute.

    In which Jabber gets distracted during stormy weather, resulting in injury. Zanka does some learning on the job, as well as some learning after the fact.

    Summary

    Zanka occasionally wondered why he was the one who had to crash into Jabber, because Jabber was a bed of tidal pools stranding venomous creatures and jagged shells, flaying the soles of anyone staggering through him. It could have been anyone. The thought settled between his teeth, and he gritted them together wishing that he could bite down on a truth with enough force to shatter it in his molars.

    In which Zanka volunteers for an extremely unpopular assignment in the East Ward for the seventh time straight, and gets caught in the rain.

    Summary

    ”Whatcha got there?” Enjin asks, a small smirk tugging at his lips. Zanka gives one long, slow blink, and glances at the drink his fingers are loosely wrapped around.

    “…a smoothie.”

    Riyo bursts out laughing. The noise startles Jabber awake, and his head knocks into his jaw. They both groan in pain.

    Or, Jabber and Zanka in the aftermath of one of their battles.

    Or, or, a comment on my last fic used this meme—so I wrote it entirely around that
