Summary
Largely experimental, non-canon. For Dazai, it has always been hard to separate memory and fiction.

Summary
Slim hasn’t said a word since they’ve arrived, choosing instead to stare silently into his drink. How must it feel, George wonders, to be sitting next to a murderer? He presses two fingers to his scalp, where the bullet had torn through Lennie’s head. Friend killer, his mind whispers.
Alternatively, Slim and George walk into a bar.

Summary
Alexander takes the letter from my hands, and I know he sees the name on the envelope because he sets it on the table without opening it, quickly, like the words would burn him if he read them.
“Oliver,” Alexander says carefully, his voice a mixture of fear, wonderment, and grief. “Are you sure you want me to –?”
“I need to know if you can see what I see,” I tell him. “You’re the only one who could be objective about it. Meredith’s too prejudiced against him. Pip would just pity me. I can’t talk to Wren. You’re the only one who can be objective. You’ll tell me if it’s nothing. You always have.”

It would be so like James. The true Shakespearean hero of us all. To die and yet somehow not be dead.

Summary
When Kankuro wakes up it’s in a room he doesn’t recognize with a view from the window he does.
Only problem is the Playhouse’s storage facility was torn down eight years before the war began.
The time-travel fic literally no one asked for but I wrote anyway!

Beneath them the desert is painted pink and gold, red and orange, blue and gray and soft sage green.
Harsh and unforgiving, beautiful as death.

Summary
You’re seven and one-quarter, which means that you’re little, but big. You’re about to lose the first of your baby teeth (you can feel it move like a loose fence post whenever you poke it with your tongue), but you’ve been eating liquid foods so that you won’t have to part with it before you’re ready. You wonder if they’ll let you keep it once it falls out.
Your brother is seven and one-quarter, which means that he’s little. He’s already lost a third of his baby teeth and they went in so quick a succession that you can tell the weather by him now: if there’s a whistling sound when you drag him outside and spread his lips with your fingers, it means you should wear a windbreaker before leaving for school. He won’t tell you if they let him keep his first tooth, but you remember that he cried after he spat it out with a mouthful of half-masticated banana.
Or, on the trials and tribulations of a lifelong siblingry.

You gave him your all once upon a time, and soon, it’ll be time for him to return the favor.

Summary
“It is about containment,” Johan says to him one day, hands covered in white flour, “it is about putting a lid on things.”
It is about falling into old orbits in new strides.

Every murder of Johan’s is a murder suicide. There is so much of him to kill.
