Summary
Yazur tilts his head to the side, and though his expression remains stagnant, his eyes gleam with curiosity. "You accompany me quite often already, Serios. Do you really wish to spend all your time on patrol with me?"
"It is dim here without your radiance to guide me, my Lord." The words barely scratch the surface of the depth of his devotion to Lord Yazur. He doubts the words to truly describe his reverence even exist.
—
Serios is desperate to be closer to his Lord.

Summary
The black t-shirt he wore—Zanka didn’t know how he could tolerate the colour in this heat—clung tight to his skin, loose by only mere inches instead of his usual three-sizes-too-big apparel he donned on other days. A terrible observation for his brain to focus on, because although the curtains were closed to block out the sun and light barely reflected off the dark material, Zanka could still trace the faint outlines of his waist and his ribs and his chest with his eyes, and now he was struggling to inhale again because his throat scratched like sandpaper, dry despite the fact he’d just taken a drink.
Zanka raised his water bottle to his lips to find it empty.
Follo rolled his head over to him then, and Zanka clutched the empty bottle as though it were a stress-ball, his fingers going numb from the tension.
“You ever think about the ocean?” Follo asked.
Leave it to his torturer to bring up water when he’d run out.

Summary
Follo liked to pretend he didn't know what the shifty eyes and arched brows were referring to. Pretended they didn't always get shot his way after interactions with a certain blue-eyed boy who seemed to orbit him as of late. Feigned ignorance as to why she could possibly be scrutinizing him. Follo had nothing to hide. He’d never done anything wrong or worthy of suspicion in his life.
Rule one of the Cleaners: never admit anything personal to Riyou, no matter how many scathing looks she sent your way. He's watched far too many innocent souls fall victim to her trap countless times. That girl was like an encyclopedia of embarrassing anecdotes, which she would gladly whip out at the most inconvenient of times. To humble you, to admonish you, to blackmail you into doing her chores. The moment you confessed some vital piece of information to her, she’d store it away to weaponize later.
—
Follo has been slowly realizing his minor interest in Zanka might just be a crush, and he might actually have a chance at it being reciprocated. What to do about it? Attempt to take him on a not-quite date—preferably without alerting the suspicions of the gossip-spreading monsters in the Cleaners.

Zodyl's Terrible Son, Fu's Terrible Father by lem0nicecream

Summary
Fu’s mouth opened into a big circle, clamped shut, opened again, closed again, and repeated this motion for about five cycles before he noticed Zodyl’s eyebrow twitching in annoyance and choked on a squeaky noise. He attempted a smile, though his jowls seemed compelled downward by their own intense form of gravity, pupils as small as the head of a sewing pin.
“I–my–the room–”
“Spit it out,” Zodyl grumbled.
The boy took one deep inhale, and began to spew words as if under the panicked belief that he’d die if he didn’t get them out all at once. “Jabber was trying to get me to try this poison but I didn’t want to because it’s poison and poison is–I’m not good, very good with it, so I said no and then he was mad and he said we should fight but I didn’t want to fight but then he tried to fight me anyway and I ran to my room and then he…” Fu began panting, his voice trailing off into a whisper as he finished his rant. “...used Mankira, and my mattress… um… it’s kind of… destroyed?”

Your Poison In My Veins by lem0nicecream

Summary
“Alcohol. Heard you guys are famous for the stuff around here,” he said, raising the poisons with the same energy he would a beer bottle. “Couldn't pass up a chance to try it.”
Zanka's lip curled up in some mixture of anger and disgust. “Alcohol is forbidden on Hell Guard grounds.” He hit his staff into the ground and pointed to the exterior side of the wall. “And so is enterin' past curfew, which was two hours ago. You will drop the alcohol and wait until dawn to re-enter, as is proper.”
Jabber huffed a short laugh, his grin winding in fiendish joy at the further sinking of the other boy's frown. Anger radiated from him like a furnace. Offended by Jabber’s audacity to ignore his academy's sacred (dumb as fuck) rules.
Poking this beast was going to be fun.
—
Jabber infiltrates the Hell Guard for information, and tries to smuggle poisons onto academy grounds. Zanka catches him in the act, and he is not impressed.

Summary
She doesn’t get nightmares anymore. She hasn’t in a long time. When she dreams of tasting iron and red streaks too viscous to be her hair, it isn’t a nightmare. When she wakes up in the middle of the night, half-conscious and confused, it isn’t out of fear. And when she can't go back to sleep, it’s just a by-product of her bad nutrition and sleep hygiene coming to bite her in the ass–she’s always been bad for leaving the TV on at night.
So they aren’t nightmares. Can’t be. But the meh dreams don’t let her fall back asleep right away the same way nightmares do, and she has to do something about it.
—
Riyou can't sleep, and apparently neither can Zanka.

Summary
“Does it have a name?” Follo asked.
“Lucky Charm,” the older man laughed. “Pretty silly, huh? I thought I should give ‘er a nicer, cooler name or something, but it just stuck.”
Follo nodded. “I don’t think it’s silly, if it's special to you.” He swallowed another spoonful of stew. “That’s… That’s what vital instruments are all about, right? How much the owner cares about the object?”
Gris smiled up at him, beatific and glowing from sheer kindness. Something like pride in the lines of his smile. Follo thought he might be imagining it, but every aspect of Gris was so entirely genuine, even his self-doubt struggled to brush off moments like these.
“Yeah, it is.” He pulled his hand back to him, setting the amulet down across one knee. “I do remember when I got ‘er, actually.”
—
Follo and Gris talk about their potential vital instruments and how they got them.

Summary
One might ponder why having two solar flares orbiting him would be a positive when half the time it resulted in him sweating his ass off. The person who thought that way was a fool, though, because as with all things related to raising two traumatized teenagers, the pros always outweighed the cons.
The wicked chills that accompanied the year's end were settling into every corner of the Cleaner's HQ. While the place had heating, it wasn't the newest or the most sufficient system ever installed. Often, it broke down and needed repairs, which meant several days spent in an unheated room if one was unlucky. Enjin had been unlucky more times than he could count.
In came his saving grace, the most glorious benefit of mentoring he’d acquired: two teenagers with nightmares afraid to sleep in their own beds.
—
Enjin keeps collecting strays, and the pile of kids that invade his space for snuggle time keeps coincidentally increasing.

Summary
His observations passed over Enjin and Riyou frequently, but he scrutinized them far less than anyone else. They were the ones who believed in him, who gave him the courage to climb out of the dank well he planned to rot away in. Trust came naturally between the trio, and Zanka understood that Enjin had known Riyou for far longer than he had. It made sense if they seemed closer to each other than they were to him. Zanka was nothing but logical. He knew better than to be jealous of such foolish things.
And then he stumbled upon Enjin braiding Riyou’s hair.
Zanka, the new guy, didn't get special displays of affection yet. He understood that perfectly. And that was fine, obviously. He didn't need special displays of affections, like hair braiding and head pats and stupid, warm embraces.
—
Or, Zanka is new to the Cleaners and can't help but notice the way Enjin treats him differently than Riyou.

Summary
“Why? Amo is sure Rudo’s smile is perfect.”
Rudo inhaled as though he were channeling an ancient spirit. The energy of every vital instrument he'd ever used returned to him for this one very moment. His eyes closed, and Amo was momentarily concerned about him.
“Rudo, are you-”
And then his face did… something. Amo was not sure what, exactly, the something was, but… it was something.
Despite Amo’s disdain for the blue eyed freak, it seemed this time Zanka had been right. Amo could not ever tell him. Maybe after teaching Rudo the perfect smile, Amo would pretend that Rudo’s smile never changed at all just to bother him.
Yes, an excellent idea.
—
(Amo teaches Rudo and Fu how to smile. It goes about as well as one would expect.)

The first time he saw Galga was not in uniform as a knight, but as a fellow witch.
