    Summary

    “Have you frightened them all away?” he whispers to the okuri-okami, lowering his bow and letting its knocked arrow point to the earth. Ominously, the dark centers of the wolf's pale eyes roll up to meet his stare. “Only you are allowed to eat me? Is that it?”

    It gives no answer, of course. Suguru smiles, nevertheless grateful for the company—for no other ghastly, beastly resident of these woods would dare interlope on the okuri-okami’s marked hunt and steal its prey.

    Which is Suguru, apparently.

    While fleeing the Zen’in clan, Suguru takes up shelter in the shadow of an abandoned shrine, deep within forests said to crawl with all manner of monster. Soon enough, he finds himself with a strange, nightly companion: a great white wolf as liable to devour him as protect him.

    Summary

    On a heist in the sprawling neon-lit metropolis of York New, the members of the Phantom Troupe acquire a synthetic that they later realize belongs to the infamous series Z4 of Zoldyck & Sons Inc. - a company that has risen to a somewhat questionable reputation thanks to their highly specialised mechanical companions. About 20 years ago, series Z4 was well-known in certain circles for their capabilities in covert espionage as well as assassinations. The original Z4 models had been thought lost for many years. Until now. 

    In the beginning, most members of the Troupe consider this find exceedingly lucky but slowly and surely things are developing not quite as they had hoped. For starters, their model, Z-01IL-LU, seems to be close to its expiration date: Malfunctions, glitches and strange hallucinations occur almost daily, rendering the robots services nearly obsolete. Secondly, the Troupe member paired with the synth for most of their missions, Hisoka, is starting to develop a rather unhealthy obsession with the pretty robot.

    Before the Troupe can even think about ridding themselves of the antiquated model, a shadowy figure appears on the scene, keen to reclaim the rogue synthetic.

    Summary

    "Kabru’s hands smooth themselves along his thighs, and Laios is suddenly conscious of how exposed he is - thumbs resting on either side of his mound, parting and exposing his wet folds. He glances up at Laios from underneath long, dark eyelashes - gas blue eyes bright, his expression one of barely restrained hunger. Laios knows what that looks like.

    “Don’t - you don’t have to,” he says, flushing at the realization of what Kabru intends to do. “I don’t want you to feel as if it’s an obligation.”

     

    Kabru presses a kiss against his skin, muffling a half laugh against it. It sounds irrepressibly fond, warm.

     

    “Laios,” he says, voice thick with want. “If this was an obligation, I would have found a way out of it, I can assure you." Except, Laios wishes he possessed even an ounce of Marcille, or Kabru’s ability to discern what others think so easily; if only because he wants to know why, despite his soft, warm words, his reassurances, Kabru’s scent suddenly smells so unhappy."

    Laios and Kabru help Marcille with her magical endeavors; naturally, it all goes to plan. Said no-one ever. Now, if only there weren't pesky feelings involved.

    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.
