    Summary

    The words showed up on the back of his dominant hand on the night of his 13th birthday. Five words in a simple black font that confirmed all his worst fears.

    'You'll be just as easy.'

    Zanka stared at it for what felt like hours, unsure if the feeling in his stomach was him wanting to hit something or him wanting to find a hole to crawl in and never come out of.

    He pulled his sleeve back down to cover it, and decided to never look at it again.

    or

    A classic soulmate au where the first words your soulmate says to you are tattooed on your skin. Zanka realizes that Jabber is his soulmate from their first meeting. Jabber doesn't.

    Summary

    Rudo knew Zanka —sorry, "pRoFeSsor Nijiku"— was married. Everyone did, it would be hard to miss the way the usually stoic Materials Science professor softened when he looked down and ran a thumb over his wedding band. And yet despite that, no one knew anything about his wife, not even her name.

    For a so-called "average" guy, Zanka seemed to have a lot of secrets. The most concerning of which pertained to a suspicious guy with a lot of piercings who kept lurking around the research lab after hours.

    or

    A modern au in which Zanka and Jabber are professionals in their respective scientific fields, and have a reputation for being bitter rivals who are constantly publishing research papers trying to disprove the others findings.

    They've also been secretly married for 6 years.

     

    Rudo —a graduate student and one of Zanka's lab assistants at the University— somehow gets caught in the middle of it all.

    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

    Summary

    Now, all three kids were looking at him, their faces a mixture of curiosity and concern. Rudo shifted a bit awkwardly, shoulders drawing inward as the attention settled on him like a weight.

    Please stop looking at me...

    ------
    While all the kids are hanging out, Rudo’s hands begin to hurt, which leads to the other kids discovering his scars for the first time.
