    Summary

    In the final moments of battle, Dazai made a decision that could only be deemed unimaginable–but it was a gamble that Fyodor was willing to take: the gravity manipulator diseased by vampirism, or freedom. It was a final trump card, one that Dazai should have known to call as a bluff… and yet, as the destruction of the world’s most secure prison came to a head, it became clear that his choice was final.

    Meursault had fallen–and along with it, Dazai fell, too.

    —-

    Three words, eight letters.

    Chuuya Nakahara never expected that the first time he’d ever hear those very words leave Dazai’s lips would be the last time he heard his voice at all.

    OR: As the game to break out of Meursault comes to a climax, Dazai tells Chuuya he loves him for the first time while on the brink of death.

    Summary

    Chuuya tells him one night after a drink too many that he feels like he’s stuck on an endlessly looping rollercoaster. That the ride up doesn’t feel so daunting until it drops and sends him plummeting back down.

    For a long time, Dazai assumes the highs must be better. Not good, necessarily, but better—anything has to be better than the aching stasis he lives in, an endless gray of nothingness that presses against his ribs and makes it hard to breathe. Chuuya’s mania sounds like freedom; to feel energized and alive, to wake up with a purpose—however unhinged—seemed like a fair trade for a little chaos and the inevitable crash. He used to watch Chuuya in those bright, impossible weeks and feel a kind of envy he couldn’t name. Chuuya would laugh too loud, talk too fast, waste so much energy on the mundane—and Dazai would think, God, I’d kill to feel like that.

    He doesn’t anymore.

    or ; how dazai learns that the highs aren't any easier

    Summary

    As words continued to elude him, sentences crumbled like fragile castles of sand, and Poe's desperation deepened with every fleeting moment.

    Poe finds himself impossibly stuck while writing what should be his best work yet, something worthy of Ranpo's deductive mastery! Incapable of any form of patience, Ranpo decides to visit the novelist after weeks of unanticipated silence, finding the writer in shambles as he fights endlessly to impress.

    Summary

    Finding out that a lie has pervaded years of your life isn’t exactly a great way to end a mission, especially when it results in complete ignorance about your own biology. At twenty years old, Akutagawa had thought he was done learning about himself, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at all. As it turns out, he hardly knows a thing.

    Alternatively, asexual “beta” Akutagawa finds out that he’s actually an omega and has to figure out how to deal with his first ever heat (a series of unfortunate events that ends with Aku getting railed within an inch of his life).
