  1. Summary

    "Among the tales of sorrow and of ruin that came down to us from the darkness of those days, there are yet some in which amid weeping there is joy and under the shadow of death, light that endures."
    The Silmarillion, p. 162

    A collection of works that tie together throughout the history of Arda, but can mostly be read as stand-alone stories. If I am as productive as I am ambitions, the series will eventually include stories spanning from the Age of the Trees to the Fourth Age - Valinor. Most stories will follow Celebrimbor, Orodreth, and Gildor, then later Erestor, Glorfindel, and Elrond, throughout their political and personal struggles.

    Summary

    ❝… Dazai only hears Chuuya's faint breath on the other end of the line, and the tremor in his voice.

    "Dazai...?"

    "I'm here." His voice sounds raw, destroyed, alive. It's a terrible irony.

    "Did you arrive...?"

    At that same moment, Chuuya's building appears in front of the brunette. The lights. The reflection of the sign against the wet asphalt.

    Dazai doesn't slow down, he doesn't think. He runs and pushes the door so hard that it shakes on its hinges.

    "I'm." … ❞

    Ø

    After Mori Ougai discovers Chuuya Nakahara and Dazai Osamu's nightly rendezvous, he decides Chuuya is worth more dead than alive and gives him his dismissal letter in the form of a poisoned wine bottle. It's up to Dazai to arrive in time and save him, just as it's up to Chuuya to choose himself for once (or not). It's up to both of them to realize how much they're willing to give for each other after all.

    Summary

    “Oi, Dazai, what are they saying, anyway? Too many people. It gets confusing.”

    The detective smirks.
    “They are just discussing the budget for the next mission. Kunikida insists he wants an ice cream, a drone, and a goat.”

    From the Port Mafia dungeon to the depths of Meursault, Dazai and Chuuya keep finding each other.
    They fall in love all over again — or, maybe, they never stopped.

    That’s all.

    Summary

    Truth be told, Dazai made no effort to contradict Fukuzawa when he delivered the envelope with the details of this mission with a little sticky note, clearly in Mori’s handwriting, stating that he’d have to cooperate with the man Dazai vowed to kill at the ripe age of fifteen and has a track record of seven years of absolute failure. Not that Dazai has ever tried hard enough to get closer to his goal, though—not that he’s actually tried at all, for that matter.

    Or: Five times Dazai fumbled an opportunity to confess his feelings, and one time he does something about it.

    Summary

    Gazing down into those blank, empty blue eyes, Dazai felt something shatter inside him. And in the wake of the destruction, the emptiness, he was flooded by sudden, ice-cold clarity.
    It wasn't okay. But it would be.
    He would make it okay.

    [Or, something unthinkable happens, and Dazai goes more than a little feral in his attempt to reverse it.]

    Summary

    At fourteen, Dazai is the one to find Chuuya after the lab explosion.

    ___

     

    He watches Chuuya fall asleep, slow and soft, in small bits. He is so beautiful, and he is mine. All mine.

    I am the first person he smiled at.

    I am the first person who said his name.

    I am the first person who has held him like this.

    He is mine. He will always be mine now, after these things.

    Dazai thinks, for a moment, that he might not ever get to feel things, or see the world the way most people do, or find a reason to live. But he can live for this, for him. For this boy. He does not care about birds or parks or trees or people, does not feel all that much when he sees the sunrise or sunset or the stars and the moon. He does not like dogs or children. He does not like the world.

    But he likes Chuuya. He likes the way Chuuya looks when he is looking at all these things.
