    Summary

    “I will return to the Port Mafia,” Dazai said, his voice entirely devoid of the cheerful lilt he had spent four years perfecting. “I will take my old seat. I will run your black ops. But I have one condition.”

    Mori smiled, resting his chin on his steepled hands. “Name it.”

    “Nakahara Chuuya.”

    Four years of daylight was a long time, but it wasn’t enough to bleach the blood out of Dazai Osamu’s shadow. When he finally returns to the Port Mafia to broker a deal for the Agency's survival, he brings a very specific set of demands. Mori just wants his Demon Prodigy back. Chuuya just wants to know why the headache he's had for four years suddenly wears a familiar, obnoxious trench coat.

    Summary

    Summary

    Chuuya stops the cylinder without looking and clicks it back into place. "You're going to count," he says.

    Dazai blinks. "What?"

    "Every shot." Chuuya's voice drops low. "It's the least you can do." He taps the cool metal of the muzzle twice to the underside of Dazai's chin, and tilts upwards. "Be good."

    OR

    Chuuya has one bullet left in his revolver. Dazai has a request. Chuuya, who has never made a good decision where Dazai is concerned, says yes.

    Summary

    Peace comes to Yokohama, and for Dazai, nothing fits.

    (City pop, surveillance-lit, coded communications, workplace politics, a cigarette is a strategy—intimate, but misfiring. Who are you when you aren’t looking at me?)

    Summary

    It twists him, turns him, curls in his chest like something alive, something he knows but can’t dare to name. Chuuya curses the red-black petals that fall from his lips, these nearly rotten things that tear him apart from the inside out. Part of him wants to rip his own traitorous heart out, through a ribcage shattered by feelings he can’t contain.

    Anger is easy, a thing he’s learned to control. This— whatever the hell this is— is not.

    Or at least it’s easier to feel as though this is beyond his own control, because Chuuya is not in love.

    (It feels like a lie even to himself.)

    After he's hit by a strange ability, Chuuya is forced to consider truths he'd much rather keep hidden- but not everything is as simple it seems.
