Summary
And power, Dazai knows, is an odd thing for the slug. He likes it, he’s good with it. But it leaves him lonely. That’s what happens when you’re ungrounded. Able to go up and up and up, unbound by gravity. But above, where no one else can follow, all you’ll find is solitude. How ironic for Dazai’s isolating ability to bring him down, away from that, and back to him.
Or, a study in power, the tendency to dehumanise it, and one guy who is just really really weird about it.

Summary
The only difference between a ghost and a memory is that a memory decays. A ghost, by nature of its unnature, is immune to rot and instead exists in stasis. Such an idea could only exist in fiction. Fiction kinder than any Dazai could imagine himself living.
Or, a study in haunting, and the long shadow of loss turned biting.

Summary
And I still see you everywhere and miss you so much I can't breathe and sometimes I lie awake wishing so hard you were here that I wake with the red crescent echoes of my nails biting into my palms. And I still don’t see the point of living in a world without you in it.
But.

at least i keep his eyes in my life by significant_ace_nnoyance for booksandpaperss

Summary
It was always the same subject of conversation. Michael Wheeler had stolen redcoat cannons. Michael Wheeler had been hired by Washington right on sight. Michael Wheeler was the genius of a generation, the greatest writer of the American Revolution. Michael Wheeler was a nobody, a know-nothing, a boy in man’s boots.
Michael Wheeler would never be satisfied.
Will could understand that. That feeling of never being filled, never being enough. Of wanting more from life than what it could give.
Not that he had given it much thought.
He hadn’t.
~~~~~
Or, two boys lock eyes across a hazy ballroom and begin a night of secrets, sacrifice, and the journey of finding something more than just enough—a Byler Satisfied AU.

Summary
Marinette is very stressed (as usual), and she’s pining over Adrien (as usual). But, what’s not usual, is that she’s both right now...and on top of that, she has an argument scheduled with Chat followed by a fencing tournament she needs to attend. Here's to hoping she does both without falling apart (spoiler alert: she doesn't).
