Summary
“‘Tis the one thing I could do virtually no justice to. I could wax poetic and say that my heart sings for you, or that my soul feels whole alongside yours. All I truly know is, I swore an oath, but you…”
He closed his eyes, but even unseeing his senses were in overdrive: Boothill’s ragged breath, his own stammering movements, his heartbeat drowning out the murmur of the world around them, the feverishness surging through his body, and the feeling of Boothill’s body under his fingers as they revealed more of his ‘skin’. A symphony in which all the parts further worked to undo him, one thread at a time.
“I would say you make me want to break it, but… In truth, you make me question the very meaning of its existence, my beloved.”
...
In which falling in love proves as much undoing as it does salvation.

Summary
Chuuya sways a little, head nodding like he can barely keep it upright. His eyes are glassy, eyelids starting to droop. He’s muttering something that sounds almost like a prayer, but Dazai can’t hear it until Chuuya falls forward—or maybe leans in, it’s hard to tell—until his forehead touches Dazai’s, until a strand of his hair brushes the side of Dazai’s face.
“Don’t die,” he’s saying. A command, a plea. “Don’t die, you bastard.”
Strangely, Dazai wants to obey it.
Strangely, the last thing he thinks is that he can’t die. That there’s something he needs to say first. Something he needs to do.
or, after a near death experience, Dazai realizes he might have a reason to live after all.

Summary
“If there’s one thing that I’m honest about, Chuuya,” he tells him in a hushed whisper. “It’s you.”
Chuuya looks up at him, almost drowsy, and smiles slightly, utter fondness pulling at his nerve endings, “You’ve lost your hard edges, Osamu Dazai.”
“I don’t know about that,” Dazai murmurs, throat working hard to swallow. “But all my soft ones have always belonged to you.”
Five times Chuuya defends them, mostly by getting himself hurt, and makes Dazai almost lose his mind, and one time he doesn’t need to.
Or: Nakahara Chuuya and Osamu Dazai over the years, together, apart, and everything else in-between.

Summary
What a shitty way to die....
Less than forty-eight hours ago, they’d been impaled together, and Chuuya had feared that the broken metal pole had pinned him in place against a corpse. Now, he worried that a corpse sat next to him, nothing more than a poorly-crafted imitation of his ex-partner.
... And what an even shittier situation to be stuck in.
Or,
A mission goes wrong, and Soukoku die together.
Except, they don't, but now they're stuck in a safe house pretending that they did. And if Chuuya wants to find out what went wrong with Dazai's plan, he'll first have to find a way around the wall of silence that his former partner has built to keep him out.

Summary
“Yeah, that’s me. Twenty-eight years old, but still me.”
“Huh. You’re… alive.”
“Did you think I wouldn’t make it?”
An embarrassed shrug. “Kinda.”
Fair. Dazai smiles melancholically. If not for Mio, perhaps he never would have made it indeed. Wanting to die and ending up nurturing life is a strange plot-twist, to say the least.
From messy lovers in their early twenties to strangers, Dazai and Chuuya meet again at twenty-eight.
Or: Dazai is a dad — his daughter is his second chance at life, and perhaps he'll be so lucky to have a second chance at love too.
