    Summary

    “You had to go through that thirty-three times?” Tribbie asked. Her voice wobbled with unshed tears.

    Phainon did the only thing possible in such a situation: He panicked.

    “Uh,” he said, because clearly his eloquence had abandoned him during one of the cycles, “yes?”

    // OR, circumstance leads to the heirs thinking Phainon only lived through thirty-three cycles. Rather than correcting them on this, Phainon doubles down and decides this is the new narrative he'll go along with so as to avoid worrying them too much.

    Summary

    Ratio stares back at him. The typical acuity of his eyes has dulled into something more welcoming. He raises a hand, the pads of his gloved fingers brushing against the gems of Aventurine’s earring. “Peacock feathers do not fade or lose their shiny luster, even after the animal has died.”

    “I didn’t think you’d be a maundering drunk,” Aventurine scowls, but doesn’t tilt his head away from Ratio’s hand. The doctor’s words are something that Aventurine is neither drunk nor sober enough to ruminate on.

    or, five conversations aventurine and ratio don't have and one they finally do.

    Summary

    Chuuya swallowed and shifted his hand, slow and careful, letting his fingers slide into Dazai's hair. It was softer than it had any right to be—always was, even as it perpetually carried the faint scents of gunpowder and something metallic.

    He brushed it back from Dazai's temple, thumb grazing skin that was still warm despite everything, and Dazai stirred, a quiet sound slipping out of him before he could stop it. His arms tightened reflexively around Chuuya's waist, face pressing closer, like he was chasing heat even in his sleep.

    “Yeah, yeah,” Chuuya murmured under his breath, barely louder than a thought. “I'm here. Don't get all clingy about it.”

    or: dazai doesn’t sleep until he does.
    weeks of fatigue catch up to him at once, and he ends up on chuuya’s couch, exhausted enough to stay there. chuuya likes how this part goes just a little too much.

    Summary

    When he closed his eyes, images slipped in immediately. Blood on concrete. The smell of gunpowder. A flash of teeth, a clinical touch where he wanted it least. Dazai’s brain supplied them automatically, like it was bored and rifling through a filing cabinet labeled Worst Possible Things.

    He opened his eyes again and stared at the ceiling. His limbs felt heavy in a way that didn’t translate to rest. Heavy but restless, like they wanted to move through something rather than settle. There was an itch under his skin that had nothing to do with nerves and everything to do with the fact that he was still here, still conscious, still having to occupy his own body.

    or: Insomnia makes Dazai restless.
    Restlessness makes him reckless.
    Chuuya makes him lie down anyway.
    A long night, a bad habit, and a door that opens even when it shouldn’t.

    Summary

    If Dazai had come here and fallen asleep without even holding a gun, then whatever had kept him awake before had finally lost. And because it was as rare and fleeting as the light in that void-like eye of his, Oda was willing to let that victory stand.

    (or: dazai runs himself empty and ends up on odasaku’s couch.)
