    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.

    Summary

    The first time Zanka had ever been touched without it aching in some way was by a new supporter who’d placed his gloved hand on the small of his back to help steady him while walking across uneven terrain. At the time he hadn't even noticed, the lack of consequence from the firm press slipped by as they completed their mission. It was when he was alone that night stripping off his uniform that he noticed the scuff of dirt, the memory of the supporter’s gentle guidance slammed to the forefront.

    Follo Tunito had managed to touch him without any misery.

    Summary

    Growing up, Natsuki’s view about the soulmate marks was whimsical and romantic. It's supposed to aid people in finding their perfect match. It means to stay together forever, was what he heard. And yet, of all the people in the world, he ends up with Uruha as his soulmate.
    For years, he lived with a clear awareness that half of his soul was Uruha's, and half of Uruha's was his - until the day Uruha died and their shared soulmate mark disappeared from his skin.

    Summary

    Zanka's breathing is loud now, raw and ragged. Hands shaking in their death grip against the wheel. He hates that. Hates that Jabber sees. Hates that Jabber doesn't.

    Hates him, probably, maybe, not at all.

    “Z, man,” his tone is still lighter than the conversation deserves, not laughing but not solemn either, fake or maybe real, it's a coin flip with Jabber. “You can stop now.”

    Too fast. Too close.

    Zanka runs a red.

    “Zanka.”
    -
    Dancing with someone else. Getting under Zanka's skin. Unreasonable reactions. Toxicity hitting different when you're both playing the game.
