Summary
Dazai looks nervous, and Chuuya can’t crack why. He definitely looks wrong, though, like he’s about to jump out of his skin.
Which does happen when something makes a particularly loud noise outside. Dazai’s head whips in that direction, his whole body tenses, and he clutches the plushie in his arms like letting it go would mean sudden death.
“You’re scared,” Chuuya realizes. “You’re scared of this, why didn’t you tell me?”

Summary
Dazai orders two cabs - one for Atsushi, and one for him and Ranpo; Atsushi doesn’t have it in him to either insist Dazai doesn’t pay for him, or be surprised that Dazai is actually paying for him. The car Dazai ordered for himself arrives first, so Atsushi bids them both a tired farewell; the last he sees of them, Dazai is packing up a half-lucid Ranpo into the cab.
Before the door shuts, Atsushi catches a glimpse of Ranpo lying his head down into Dazai’s lap. He’s too tired to think too much of it, though.or: five times Atsushi doesn't connect the dots about Ranpo and Dazai, and the time it gets spelled out to him.

Summary
“You’re kind of annoying, you know that,” Chuuya said, voice flat. ‘Kind of’ being an understatement.
“I’ve been told,” Dazai returned, eyes bright.
They were suddenly very close— almost intimately so. Dazai’s long frame crowding him against the wall of books, his arms crossed politely behind his back.
He breathed. Dazai breathed. Silence.
Without thought, his hands wandered towards the thin, stone-hard edges of Dazai’s waist. Curled them there, felt the warmth of him. Dazai didn’t speak— didn’t look like he could, and Chuuya found himself somehow enthralled by the sorrowful sort of depth in his eyes.

In which Dazai is an eccentric bookshop owner by day, sometimes Phantom Thief by night, and Chuuya is a rather mysterious PhD candidate.Bookmarked by romanceisboring

Summary
Chuuya laughed that unfiltered, discordant laugh he'd done on the first day; crooked smile still the same as the one in Dazai’s memory, but his eyes held a trembling intensity that was difficult to behold.
“Yes, it's an illusion, but why should that make it any less real?

Summary
“Where’d you even find all that stuff anyway?”
Chuuya, in his Christmas sweater and apron and Santa hat, with his Christmas spatula in hand, just raises an eyebrow at him.
“Online. Where else?”
“And you mind telling me why you’re suddenly acting like Hallmark is giving you a paycheck?”
Chuuya shrugs, turning away – it’s gonna sound stupid and so sentimental if he says it out loud, but… it’s their first Christmas as a family, and Chuuya wants to finish the year off on a good note. It really hadn’t been an easy one.

Summary
Here is Chuuya now, yet again Dazai’s… he doesn’t even know what. Fuck-buddy, maybe, except for the part where he’s been ready to murder for Dazai since he’d been sixteen years old, ready to crush every single person that ever dares to lay a finger on him.
And right in front of him, also on the floor of the same hospital room, Edogawa Ranpo, Dazai’s new plaything. The replacement for what Chuuya has once been.
It stings worse than any wound he’s ever had, to know that Dazai no longer needs him, but someone else instead.

Summary
"Great, you’re here,” Yosano appears from the other side of the office - she doesn’t look too happy, and Chuuya is immediately on alert. Both cause that likely means there’s something wrong with Dazai, and Chuuya knows her. He’s not scared of her by any means, but she’s not one to mess with. “Since when is Dazai deaf?!”
“Since he was 10, more or less,” he replies. And then he realizes just what she’d asked. “Wait, you didn’t know?”
“No! He didn’t say a fucking thing!”

Summary
Fyodor (or the motherfucking rat bastard as Chuuya calls him behind Dazai’s back) being a preppy economics student with greasy hair and a creepy smile, a weird group of friends who all worship the fucking ground he walks on, and not a single genuine bone in his stupidly tall body.
And Dazai’s boyfriend of three years, somehow.
Safe to say, Chuuya doesn’t really like Fyodor very much.
Now - does Chuuya, in part, hate Fyodor because he’s been in love with Dazai for God knows how long? Kind of - but it’s still a relatively small part of the whole equation.

Summary
“Be my girlfriend.”
Sigma blinks, staring at Dazai, who’s looking at her with big, hopeful eyes. Brown hair is whipping around her face, and her lips are parted, smile eager, cheeks flushed against the windchill. She’s still wearing her graduation gown, even though it’s been a few hours since the ceremony.
“...No.”
Dazai’s face falls and shutters into a confused pout. “Why not?”
“I… don’t want to.”

Summary
Since he can remember, the only sincere reprieve Dazai has ever received from the storm in his mind was books. Mori had been fond of all kinds of literature, stocking the shelves of his old home with volumes and volumes of escape mechanisms. Like a thing starved, Dazai devoured them, shutting out the rest of the world in his pursuit of peace.
Opening the shop had been natural, and he’d quickly accrued a slew of regulars who would listen to him wax poetic about his favorite novels. He’d had quite a few starry-eyed admirers lean across the counter, eyes intent on him as he spouted off flowery quote after fiery quote, yet no one had ever spiked Dazai’s interest enough for him to take their affections seriously.
Yet he’d grown all too fond of romances, of the comfort in the knowledge of a happy ending. No matter what, at the end of the story, the princess always found her prince, regardless of any bumps they hit along the way. No matter how rocky the start, no matter how dire the situation, love always pulled through.
“The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you.”

“There are things to be done,” Sigma says, pulling their phone out of their pocket and fiddling with it. “I’m very busy. Please leave me alone. Or just leave. We close soon anyway.”
Miffed and rebuked, Dazai slumps against the counter, whining, “You’re not busy, you just don’t like me.”
They nod, not looking up for their phone.

Summary
Using The Book comes with consequences, a truth Dazai understands all too well. Since he uncovered the cursed thing, its toll has etched itself onto his body; bit by bit, the Book transforms his wounds into glass.
As the mirrors on his skin begin to spread past their limits, though, only Chuuya notices the effect it's having on Dazai. This sparks a series of long drives, frantic searches, and unspoken emotions, as he desperately fights to prevent the inevitable death Dazai seems destined to face.
AKA: Dazai's turning to glass. Dazai is dying. But Chuuya won't stand by and watch that happen. Not without a fight.

Summary
“You won’t try to kill yourself again. Even if your mind screams at you, you won’t be able to. Your body won’t cooperate. You won’t be able to hurt yourself or purposely let others hurt you. You won’t die as long as you desire death or unless I personally let you."
Dazai’s breath hitched, and his eyes widened in disbelief. “No, you can’t—”
Then he felt it—something like a subtle shift somewhere inside him. He couldn’t pinpoint where the sensation started or ended, but it was there. And just as quickly as it happened, it went away, as if it had already sealed itself in him, became a part of him.
“What did you just do to me?” he asked, the words barely making it past his throat, more accusation than question.
“Saved you. You’ll probably hate me for it, but that’s what it was.”
or, Vampire!Chuuya finds Dazai on the verge of death, and uses mind compulsion to make him unable to try to end his life ever again. After that, he disappears, leaving Dazai alone for two years of nothing but hatred and resentment toward the vampire who violated his will and trapped him in the pathetic existence people call life. Until, when Chuuya’s the one in need of help, their paths cross again.

“I just wanted to—”
“To talk? You thought sitting here, all sad and tragic, in our spot, would spark some nostalgia?” Chuuya scoffed. “That I’d come
running back like some pathetic—God, I can’t believe I even came down here.”“I know you hate me,” Dazai said, standing up. “But—”
“Hate you?” Chuuya tilted his head, as if he was considering it, with the kind of detachment that hurt worse than fury. “Nah. I hated you for about two years. Now I just… don’t really think about you at all. Or at least I didn’t, until you decided to make a grand comeback no one fucking asked for.”
or, dazai comes back to his hometown at twenty-two, four years after leaving Chuuya without a word, trying to fix what he broke between them. In which, he isn’t particularly good at.

Summary
"You’ll what?”
“You heard what I said, shitty Dazai. He doesn’t want you. Not a single one of them does, but I do. So you’re going to fucking stay here, because you don’t get to leave me again.”
“I’m not participating in this weird ass fantasy where we spend the rest of our lives together. I’m not him and you know it,” Dazai bites out, renewing his efforts to get out of his bindings.
Nakahara’s hand shoots out to pin him against the couch and stop his movements. “I know. Of course, I know that. But he owed me, and now he's fucking dead so you’re the one that’s going to pay on that debt. So, I am going to fucking keep you and when the times comes, I’m going to be the one kill you. You don’t have anything waiting for you out there, and you know it.”
Finally, Dazai stills. He tries to formulate a response, but he's not stupid, and there's no denying the truth. Slowly, he nods, and from above him, Nakahara grins.
