Summary
Things looked different in the dark. Bad ideas seemed better. The shape of love was ill-defined and made out by feel instead of sight– fingers tracing jagged edges until they appeared smooth. Glossing over imperfections the eyes refused to miss. In the dark things were shadows and echoes. Easier to tilt the head, strain the ears and call it love.
Something about the dark and the night and the moon– Makes me into a fool, the brunette thought to himself. Dazai’s gut twisted with a small shame.
Something about the dark. The night. The moon.
People are blood and water. And like the tide maybe the moon moved people too. Sent them places the sun wouldn’t take them. Parted their loosened lips to kiss and whisper secrets against their better judgment.
Dazai rolled over, turning his back to the window. He pulled his covers up over his head to block out the light. The sheets still smelled like Chuuya. They’d have to be washed immediately. Thrown away entirely, perhaps.
_______
After the fall out of their recent reconnection, Dazai and Chuuya must both come to terms with their own feelings. And decide whether or not to act on them.Series

Summary
Aeterna amantes. Lovers forever, until the world falls down. ~~
--
“Are you ready to behave this time, darling?” The vampire ascendant tempered his voice like steel. With a biting edge and confidence he didn’t feel. Perhaps it would stay the trembling in his fingertips as he reached toward her shackles.
No reply. Silence that stretched on like infinite darkness. Silence like death itself.
A mixture of horror and nauseous rage washed over him. He knelt down in front of her, “What? You’re not even going to look at me?” His voice was angry. Because if it was angry it couldn’t be sad.
--After becoming the Vampire Ascendant against Tav's wishes, after forcing her to stay with him, Astarion must deal with the consequences of irrevocably shattering Tav's mind.

Summary
As he heard the door slam shut behind him, Chuuya was not entirely aware of how he’d gotten to Dazai’s apartment. The location of which, and the route from his own, he still knew by heart. Without a second thought.
He followed the familiar hallway, sprinting, stumbling slightly to the bathroom at the back of the apartment. The feeling-- that terrible, sickening feeling-- welled behind his eyes and their edges burned. Slowing a bit, bracing himself on the wall, he tried to breathe. He swallowed the stinging, the gripping, the pounding, suffocating sensation back down. His hand found the knob.________
When Nakahara Chuuya sees the familiar appellation, 'Mackerel,' pop up on his phone screen for the first time in four years, he's filled with a mixture of terrible longing, and bitter anger. Both of which melt into fear when he realizes why Dazai has called.
[or: Chuuya is hopelessly in love with a dense idiot who doesn't know it]
It’s in the tags but I’ll put it here too– TRIGGER WARNING: Self-harm, blood, gore, suicidal ideation, some hinting of PTSD, emotional manipulation, wasps (not literal wasps but idk I mention them a lot as a metaphor)

Summary
The front door opened with a crash, and quickly slammed closed again. Dazai listened as the frantic pounding steps approached and deliberately slowed just before reaching the bathroom’s entrance. He wasn’t sure if that was Chuuya’s attempt at masking his concern, or if it was a reluctance to view the horrors within. The knob turned slowly.
------
Dazai Osamu has found himself in trouble again– sinking into the deep pit of darkness and despair that truly makes him feel inhuman. As usual, Chuuya comes to his rescue: to cut himself on the sharp edges of all of Dazai’s broken pieces.[or: Dazai is a pitiful bby and Chuuya adores him.]
It’s in the tags but I’ll put it here too– TRIGGER WARNING: Self-harm, blood, gore, suicidal ideation.

Summary
They’re quiet for a minute, and when he looks up, Deku is watching him. Katsuki swallows, forcing it down, for fuck’s sake. Now’s not the time, it’s never the goddamn time. There will never be a time. Even if Deku’s eyes are so, so green.
“Still sky-high on morphine?” He teases. “You’re like a space case.”
Deku laughs a little, and Katsuki begrudgingly aches at how much he missed it.
“I am grateful, Kacchan. Thanks for saving me...Like you always do.”
Katsuki’s hand twitches on the cup. He bites his tongue, holds it an extra second before something stupid bubbles out uncontrollably. Staring at these four walls for days, mostly alone with Deku, has made him weird, sort of sappy, undeniably weaker. Not physically, but metaphorically. Like, in the knees or something.
He can’t imagine more of this. He has to be fucking careful. He draws a wobbly line in the sand and tells himself not to cross it.
“That’s right.” He digs into his pocket to pull out his phone for a distraction. He can feel Deku’s eyes on him, still, probably paired with a mushy, ridiculous smile. “Gonna start charging you for it.”

Summary
Kacchan leaned across the table, placing a hand in front of Izuku. "I'm not that kind of person. I can't just let someone jump. Not when I can do something to help them." Even though Izuku didn't move a muscle, Kacchan kept his hands there. Like he was ready to catch Izuku if he fell. And maybe he would've, but Izuku wasn't going to test that. "Who hurt you? Was it the boyfriend? Mina is worried sick, you know. She hasn't seen or heard from you in months."
-----
Izuku is ready to end it all. His abusive boyfriend, dead mother and loss of friendships were all too much for him. But when his old bully, friend and crush pulls him off the ledge claiming to be a changed man and diligent detective, Izuku lets Kacchan help him escape. Kacchan is softer, having years of therapy under his belt but Izuku is traumatized. Can he really find happiness again?

Summary
That's the real issue, isn't it? The question that’s evaded them for all these years: how is it possible that Katsuki wound up with everything—the quirk, the pull, the aches—and Deku wound up with nothing?
Or;
A story of two soulmates who can't connect.
