    Summary

    “Uh,” Zanka says, though it comes out more like a pained little wheeze. He wraps an arm around Lovely, then does his best to sit up, resting his shaky hands on his thighs. “I saw– the Raiders’ boss, he– he took these, and tossed ‘em down there, and– they were gonna– th’ explosion–“

    He unclasps his fingers. The rings rest in his palms. Three of them, gleaming. Not really dangerous like this. A little warm.

    Or: What could be more romantic than risking your life for someone else's Vital Instrument, anyway?

    Summary

    Zanka had not meant to steal from Jabber Wonger.

    Not at first.

    It was supposed to be just a fight. A dirty, brutal clash in the lower trash veins, all blood, poison, teeth, and bad angles.

    Then Mankira got caught in the wall, Jabber stopped laughing, and Zanka saw the one line even a madman would not cross.

    Jabber would break himself before he damaged her.

    So when Assistaff scraped too hard, when one ring slipped loose from Jabber’s deadly hands, when Zanka felt that small warm circle fall into his palm—

    He should have dropped it.

    He should have returned it.

    He should have told someone.

    Instead, Zanka kept one piece of Mankira hidden against his body.

    And Jabber notices hes missing a part of her.

    Now Jabber has nine rings, one empty finger, and a growing obsession with finding out exactly where Zanka is keeping what he stole.

    Zanka calls it evidence.

    Jabber calls it theft.

    Mankira calls it something worse.

    And the lie only gets heavier the longer Zanka keeps her warm.

    Summary

    "You're quite a cute one, aren't ya?" The words caught him off guard.

    Zanka breath hitched as Jabber took the bold move his head closer, their eyes immediately locking. Their nose slightly hovering against one another.

    Summary

    Jabber’s ears pricked, his attention caught immediately. Perhaps this would be the time Zanka would finally beat him senseless. He was getting closer every time. 

    Just thinking about it made him bite his lip again, stifling the excited groan that threatened to escape. Fighting Zanka was just what he needed. 

    “...nka’s in critical condition…”

    Jabber’s attention snapped back to Cthoni in a heartbeat. “Hold up, backtrack. Who is in critical condition?”

    Cthoni sighed, not even attempting to hide her irritation. “Listen to me the first time I tell you, brat."
