    Summary

    Basically, Zanka is a fox god living on his mountain, and saves a ‘mortal’. That mortal turns out to be Jabber who is actually a Snake demon, or a Naga. Ummmm... Story line is roughly based in ancient Japan, though its not super relevant to the story.

    Fun fact! Spring is often a time for snakes breeding seasons!!

    Edit: this is no longer a one-shot and has a plot to it, unfortunately.

    Edit: DO NOT PUT MY WORK THROUGH AI, OR POST THIS SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION AS THIS IS MY OWN ORIGINAL WORK, I WILL GET YOU IF YOU DO.

    Summary

    Zanka knew that carrying out a relationship with a Raider as a Cleaner would be complicated. He knew he'd have to be careful. More than careful. He'd have to be perfect- no matter what, no one could find out about the truth. Not when he knew what the consequences would be.

    Naturally, he slips up anyways, accidentally mentioning Jabber's name at HQ, and it’s all over.

    Except its not. Because there's good news and bad news.

    The good news was that Zanka hadn't actually said Jabber's name. Instead, he'd said a nickname. A nickname that nobody knew referred to Jabber.

    The bad news was that now all the Cleaners thought that Zanka had a girlfriend named Abby, and if he wanted to keep his job, his family, and his relationship with Jabber, he was going to have to keep up the charade.

    What could go wrong?

    (Spoiler Alert: Everything. Everything goes wrong.)

    Summary

    Rudo heeded Enjin’s words carefully. On the Ground, information was power. And with many questions and too little answers, it becomes apparent that the Cleaners need to hire the services of an information broker. Kuro’s prices are too high, and with Arkha Corvus being in and out of their reach, the need for another information broker becomes their new priority. And to everyone’s surprise, Fu may know someone.

    Or: Enjin never met Zanka that fateful day, and instead, Zanka has managed to leave his family on his own, joining the dark underworld of the Ground and becoming an information broker.

    Summary

    “Goka!” Zanka hisses, eyes wide as he tugs on his brother’s sleeve and subtly points at the group, “Goka, who are those people?” The awe in his voice is clear.
    They pass each other, Zanka leaning his head behind Goka to continue staring.  

    Quickly, Goka grabs Zanka’s arm that holds his sleeve and pulls him forward.  

    “Ouch!” He cries. The sudden movement had hurt his shoulder. “Goka-” 

    “Those people,” Goka interrupts, voice suddenly clipped, “are Cleaners. The Hell Guard works with them sometimes. But you should avoid ‘em as much as possible.”  

    “Okay.” Zanka accepts easily. If Goka says someone is no good, he’s usually right.

    “They’re sick in the head.” Goka grits out.  

    Or, Zanka grows up wondering.

    Or, or, my completely self indugent fic where I make Zanka into a trans girl because I think she has something going on. Something something, repression, something something, Givers as a metaphor for queer awakening.

    Summary

    “Alright.” The realization left an unpleasant taste on his tongue, and he pulled back Lovely Assistaff with slow movements, wondering if his actions had tainted her with shame. “You’re here to… make art?”

    or: a place on the Ground exists, where Jabber and Zanka are just two boys freed from any expectations
