    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.

    Summary

    There was no denying it.

    Countless banal matters were overtaking Dazai’s life.

    And Chuuya’s return to Yokohama should've been one of them.

    Summary

    Death watches him from afar some days when he collects souls near where the boy lives. The lines on his arms and legs grow. Something in him aches when he realizes: there goes the king of misery. There goes my majesty with the crown of pain weighing so heavily on his head. This kid will grow to love me. This kid will grow to love me and his affection will wrap around my neck and pull me down to earth over and over again till I’m clawing at the empty air for release. We will never be able to let go of each other, will we?

     

    or, 5 instances when death wasn't ready to reap dazai's soul, and 1 where he was.

    Summary

    Getting over one's doomed romantic feelings for Phoenix Wright was a simple task: give the man polite distance, focus on one's career, and contemplate a Phoenix Wright-less version of the future where one was somehow happy.

    Notice that these steps did not include pushing a shopping cart alongside Phoenix Wright, trading flowers with Phoenix Wright's young daughter, or going to Phoenix Wright's home to celebrate Phoenix Wright's stupid, endlessly endearing made-up holiday.

    Miles did this to himself. He deserved it.

    (Or: Phoenix & Trucy celebrate "Discount Candy Day": the day after Easter, when all the chocolate bunnies are on sale. Edgeworth is regretfully dragged along.)
