    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

    Zanka attends a frat party expecting nothing more than the usual noise, alcohol, and familiar disgust he's grown accustomed to. Instead, he meets Jabber, someone who shakes his entire foundation. Feelings of simple curiosity begin to spiral into a fixation, consuming Zanka's every waking moment. Suddenly, his world is filled with Jabber in every way, even if Jabber doesn't know. What started out as an innocent interest curdles into a deep obsession that Zanka avoids confronting at all costs.

    As his feelings grow more difficult to ignore and the line between control and compulsion fades, he's finally forced into a confrontation that makes everything come crashing down—with the man he's been circling and the parts of himself that he spent his entire life rejecting.

    or

    Zanka accidentally witnesses Jabber in an intimate moment, and the scene ignites an obsession he endlessly excuses and refuses to name.

    Summary

    “What did she do to you?”

    It was a valid question, one that Jabber had to blink multiple times over in order to regulate until he chuckled, reaching over with a lazy arm to flick some of the joint's burnt butt off.

    “My mama loved me a lot.”

    OR:
    - Jabber spirals after a specific hook up crosses an established line, leaving Zanka to deal with the mess that the past always seemed to cause.

    Summary

    Soulmates are so rare that some think of them as old-wives tales. They are said to be so connected they can speak directly into the others mind.

    Zanka doesn't think he has one until that stupid Raider, Jabber, heeds his psychic warning moments before being eaten by a trash beast.

    The only thing he hates more than this revelation is the feeling of how right it felt.

    Summary

    Staying up late has its downsides when you're a kid, and Jabber heard all of the reasons he shouldn't have a messed up sleep schedule. But if he slept early he wouldn't have ever met a boy that lived across the world in a completely different country and culture. Online friends also had their downsides, but if Jabber never played video games he would have never met Zanka Nijiku.
