    Summary

    The room is dim, tinted with early morning gray-blue. His brain is foggy, but his body’s too wired to sink back under. Typical.
    For a few seconds, he just lies there. Blinking slowly. Staring at the ceiling like it personally offended him. Over the leaf blower, Connor can hear noise coming from downstairs. Muted voices. The coffee grinder. The sound of a pan being tossed into the sink. It’s all too familiar. Things he thought he wouldn’t have to hear again.

    But no, Trust him to screw up something as simple as dying. Couldn’t even do that right.

    Or: What if Connor survived? What if Evan decided to reach out to the only person who might understand him?
    What if what they found in each other, was much more than either of them could've imagined.

    Summary

    “Tsushima Shuuji,” Chuuya reads out loud. “A bright, optimistic young man with a pep in his step and a zest for life. Hang on–is this referring to you?”

    “Unfortunately,” Dazai laments, sighing dramatically. “You just got away with ‘science nerd’ and ‘soccer player,’ but I’m supposed to be an artist! I hate art! It’s useless!”

    “Shut the fuck up. That’s not the problem here. You? A ‘zest for life?’ Looking forward to each new morning? Hah! Rimbaud would sooner come back to life.”

    Dazai turns to Chuuya with the barest facsimile of a smile painted over his lips.

    “I,” he says sweetly, “am going to gut you open like a fish.”

    Dazai and Chuuya are seasoned mafiosos at the ripe old age of almost-seventeen. They’ve fought gang wars, interrogated prisoners, and done all manner of unspeakable things. Now, they face their greatest challenge yet: going (undercover) to a real high school. With regular teens (who may or may not be desperately trying to get them to kiss).
    One thing’s for sure: this school is unprepared for the absolute calamity that is Double Black.

    Summary

    Chuuya thought moving to Yokohama University would be a fresh start a new city, a new dorm, and maybe, finally, some peace. What he didn’t expect was that the guy he thought he'd never see again Dazai, the sharp-tongued stranger from a chaotic night would end up being his new roommate.

    [Or: Chuuya just wanted a quiet year. Fate had other plans.]

    Summary

    "I'm… I'm used to loneliness, you know I am, but this is… it's different, because…"

     

    This time, in the pause between his words, Yukichi can hear a soft little sniffle and rapid shuffling of cloth, and now he feels his heart ache as he realizes what his husband feels before even he does.

     

    "Because I want you here. On nights like these, I miss you, so much, and I just want you here."

     

    An unexpected phone call during one of Yukichi's late nights at the office leads to an admission that's been a long time coming on Ougai's part.
