    Summary

    Jabber and Momoa have a late night conversation about the romanticism of how their jinki are slowly killing them both. But they find it to be oddly comforting, not just because they love their jinki, but because they complement each other too, in a weird semi-destructive way. It's fitting.

    Summary

    On Jabber and Zanka’s very first attempt at a proper date night, they witness the unthinkable: a couple getting engaged. Out in the open. For everyone to see. The restaurant patrons applaud. Someone weeps in the background. Jabber and Zanka remain completely unbothered because HA, and, HA HA, who in the world wants to get married?

    Jabber and Zanka don’t. They aren’t like those people.

    (Or: Jabber and Zanka are exactly like those people).

    Summary

    Jabber needs a respectable boyfriend so Cthoni will get off his back about going out all the time and coming home beat up. But he won't spend his time with anyone boring, he'd rather stab himself in the ear... again.

    Hey, maybe the guy in the piercing shop will do.

    Zanka needs someone to bring to his family dinner that will really piss off the Nijikus after they basically ruined his life. But it can't be someone he knows too well, since he doesn't want to be caught in a lie.

    Hey, maybe the insane guy who keeps coming in to the piercing studio will do.

    OR: A fake dating AU with a piercing play twist!

    Summary

    People with no regard for others' objects, treasured or not, and just took whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted. Snatched it right off their hands without a pinch of regret to show for it. Natural talents with no skill to back it up, arrogant pricks who could barely think before they acted. People who interrupted his damned peace, snatched up his Aibō with no regard for her feelings, and just ran.

    Zanka allowed himself to hate that kind of people.

    A vampire, his human, and the curse of mortality befalling your nemesis.

    Summary

    Chanting in his mind Enjin's words from their last staff meeting last week, be nice to customers, we need the money, Zanka keeps his face neutral and says, "Hey there. What can I do for ya?"

    The man beams at him. Without missing a beat and with the boundless enthusiasm of a five year old getting to choose his own toy truck, says, "I wanna get stabbed."

    Zanka, a piercer in Cleaner's studio and certified gay disaster, does his very best to handle a walk-in client: Jabber Wonger, a gorgeous PHD student and unhinged natural talent (at rage baiting).
