Fandoms: Zenless Zone Zero (Video Game)
31 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Late one night after a commission with a mysterious proxy she's never heard of before, comes across a girl on the subway she quickly befriends. Instead of ending there this meeting of two people results in turbulent weather that reveals truths between and around themselves. Will this unlikely pair weather through the storm and come out stronger, or let everything they hold dear be consumed as a result? Find out now as we wade through, the Blood in The Water.
After an (unintentional) year in development, Blood in the Water is back for a second course in a fully realized story rife with new twists and turns alongside a heap of emotional and physical baggage that dives into the character of Ellen Joe along with a peek into the mystery that is the Phaethon Siblings.

Summary
Lycaon had spotted the shark thiren girl on his way into work. As he walked home, he noticed she hadn't moved. Her clothes were on the verge of falling apart and the only other thing she had was a doll in disrepair.
He knelt down to her height and asked, "Do you have anywhere to call home?"
She shook her head.
"Why don't you come home with me then? I can feed you, take care of you and-"
The girl gave him a look of disgust and shook her head.

Summary
It was just another typical, average day at your typical, average, inner-city high school. Which mean it was BORING! Lucky for Ellen, she has a trio of friends to at least keep things interesting (and keep her well-fed). But she also dislikes too much excitement and activity! Oh, the struggles of being a teenage shark Thiren girl!

Summary
Caught by Ruby on her way out of the sex shop, Ellen finds her love life being investigated by her friend group. Her instinct of course is to deny, because the last thing she wants is for them to know she's doing some kind of adversarial kink thing with her least favorite coworker at Victoria Housekeeping.
As it turns out, though...there are much, much worse things they could think.
