    Summary

    ..He rests his forehead against the rusty metal door and sighs loudly in relief now that he was finally fucking alone.

    “Shit,” He whispers softly, finally turning around and—

    Oh.

    He wasn’t very alone after all.

    “Fucking hell? The hell are you doing here?!”

     

    or; Teenage Dazai and Chuuya get stuck in a room together during the end of the world- followed by hormonal panics, banter, almost confessions and heartbreak. Not necessarily in that order.

    Edgar Allan Poe was not an idiot.

    He certainly was American though.

    Summary

    Osamu Dazai is fine with his routine (mundane) day-to-day life as a barista who owns his own coffee shop. He works the graveyard shift while using spare time to work on a novel that's been a work in progress for nearly ten years. He's burnt out, tired, and missing the creative pieces that would propel his novel (and personal satisfaction) to new heights.

    That is, until one day, a curly haired redhead with vibrant blue eyes walks through the front door at the strike of midnight and changes his life forever.

    Or;

    Coffee shop AU where these two idiots fall in love under pale moonlight.

    Summary

    "You're too short for your own good, you know. Someone's going to pick you up off the street one of these days and then who will I have to make fun of?"

    "Je vais t'étriper comme le maquereau visqueux que tu es," Chuuya hissed, grip tightening on his collar as he yanked them closer. Like this, Dazai could smell the jasmine of his shampoo and see the anger swimming in his eyes. [“I'm gonna gut you like the slimy mackerel you are.”]

    "Oh, Chuuya," he sighed, grinning like a fool. "I love it when you talk dirty to me."

    Or, Dazai is convinced (forced) to join his friends for a year in Paris, and he doesn't know a word of French. Chuuya is just hoping to get through school without any strange encounters, and he doesn't know a word of Japanese. They collide (literally) and the situation devolves from there. They figure it out.

    Beautiful artwork here!
