    Summary

    He tries to reach out for the body that should be snuggled next to him, the one that he’s found close and often recently, but his hand reaches for cold sheets. He opens his eyes a little more, searching for tussled blonde hair, but he finds nothing. Instead, there is an indent where someone once was.

    He clings to it, the warmth lingering on his fingertips and getting rid of the chill on his skin.

    But, ultimately, it’s not what he’s looking for.

    Or, David struggles to get out of his head when he has a dream. Exer is scared, too, but he helps.

    Summary

    The more Akito looked at the photo at Toya, the more his heart sank. This guy was almost about to become an adult. He had so much to live for. Then everything is ripped from him in such a cruel manner. Akito's not one to get emotional about the backstory of ghosts, but this dude was basically his age! Akito wouldn't know what to do if he got murdered like at.

     

    Akito closes the tab and jots down a simple note: be nice to him, he was murdered.

    Or Akito is a ghost hunter and is supposed to get rid of Toya's spirit.

    Summary

    "You're a very hostile necromancer, you know that?", the ghost prattled on, acting as if Chuuya hadn't said a thing, "your job's so very straigtforward as well. I'm the one who has died a horrible and unfair death-"

    "At your own hands."

    "At my own hands, yes! Such a tragedy, they were all so torn up. Especially Atsushi-kun, such a hardworking kid, very responsible and eager to fulfill his duties. You could learn something from Atsushi-kun, Chuuya."

    No honorific?

    "Why are you here?", he sighed.

    "My name is Osamu Dazai," the ghost said. His pale eyes seemed to gleam in the sunshine and, if Chuuya focused, he could see the city skyline through him. "And I want you to bring me back to life, of course."

    -

    Chuuya has worked as a necromancer for a couple years now. He's only really had easy cases surrounding easy ghosts with easy pasts, easy to locate and easy to put to rest.

    His new case is anything but.

    Summary

    The monotony hadn’t been broken until a ship had landed on the shore of the island, and the weary sailors had wandered into his cave, unaware of the monster that was sleeping deeper within the twisting halls of stone. 

     

    When Neuvillette emerged from his bedchamber to the sound of human voices, he was delighted. He had rushed to the main chamber of the cave, a smile on his face. His smile had fallen, however, when the sailors turned to stone before his very eyes.

    Neuvillette has become a monster, banished to a remote island in the middle of the sea. Anyone who looks at him will be turned to stone, and he has long since given up hope of ever meeting a human again.

    Summary

    "Alhaitham isn't here?"

    "According to his plan, he should have arrived. I haven't seen or heard from him though..."

    The plan to save Sumeru went without a hitch and Alhaitham was to check in with Candace in Aaru Village after being "exiled". At least, that was how it should have gone. But now Alhaitham is missing...

    Until he's finally found six months later.
