    Summary

    There’s always someone else’s bruises littering Jabber’s skin. Zanka has never taken that as a personal affront before. An unscathed Jabber would be downright mythological. Not to mention how stupid he would have to be to think Jabber would pass up any opportunity to indulge in the abuse he constantly craves.

    But that bootprint square in the middle of his chest is undeniably claiming. Not some anonymous mark by some random nobody on the Raider’s shit list. It may as well be a personal brand, one binding Jabber’s pain and punishment to Zodyl.

    It has Zanka’s blood boiling more than anything Jabber has said so far.

    OR

    Jabber seeks Zanka out after getting his ass handed to him by Zodyl. Zanka makes sure Jabber knows his claim is the only one that counts.

    Summary

    Over the course of a year, Jabber Wonger and Zanka Nijiku circle each other through violence, obsession, and the ruined neon streets of the Pit. Told through fragmented snapshots of their lives, motel rooms, rooftop fights, bloodstained alleyways, vending machines at 3AM, and kisses that feel more like injuries, the story follows two deeply unstable people becoming dangerously attached to each other despite every reason not to.

    Or, a year in the life of Jabber Wonger and Zanka Nijiku.

    Summary

    “What, you gonna call daddy to come beat me up?” Dreads mocks him, sticking out his bottom lip in an exaggerated pout.

    Zanka feels the anger bubble up inside him at the comment, hot and cloying as it courses through his veins—and decides he needs to go home, right now, or someone’s getting punched. “Fuck you. I’m leavin’.” Then he turns on his heel to march to the back door of August’s house.

    “Yeah, call your limo, pretty boy!”

    Okay. That’s enough.

    Zanka turns back around, cocks his arm back, and decks the guy in the face.

    Or, alternatively: How the meet-ugly of the goddamn century catapults newly broke college student Zanka Nijiku head-fucking-first into the strangest, weirdest, most evilly convoluted situationship of his life.

    Summary

    “Figured it out, have you?” Pantalone’s affected slur is gone. Behind the silver glitter of glass, his eyes are lucid—bright and hungry with promise.

    You!” Dottore rasps. “You drugged me!”

    The wine stains Pantalone’s smile a deep red, a sanguine gash over a flash of white teeth. “On the contrary, my dear Doctor. I think you’ll find you drugged yourself. I merely recognized a profitable opportunity when I saw it.”

    Dottore doses Pantalone’s wine. Pantalone reminds Dottore that he isn’t one to be underestimated.

    Summary

    Zanka and Jabber have a complicated relationship. It mostly involves hooking up, obviously, but something is simmering underneath the surface. Jabber is almost never sober, and even though Zanka claims to hate being around him, he never pushes Jabber away.

    Cue Jabber breaking into Zanka's apartment at night.
