    Summary

    kabuki dance: an event designed to create the appearance of conflict when the outcome has already been predetermined.

     

    After two years of a losing war against Dostoyevsky, Mori calls Chuuya up to his office to explain the terms of his next mission—an undercover assignment to infiltrate the Decay of Angels by marrying Dazai Osamu, Dostoyevsky’s equal in everything but name. According to Mori, it’s the optimal solution.

    But missions rarely go as planned, and Chuuya is only one pawn in a game far bigger than himself. So when it inevitably unravels in his hands, Yokohama's future hangs in the balance.

    Five times Dazai and Chuuya held each other’s hands.

    (in which there's something borrowed, something old, something blue, something new - and something that's love in all its forms.)

    freaking GOD i love this fic. my emotions are too swirly rn to form coherent sentences but this is so bittersweet and somehow manages to be beautifully executed slow burn in under 10k words. i keep going "the SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" inside but i could be thinking abt any number of scenes from this. the climax was beautiful and frankly im surprised this desc is as coherent as it is bc my thoughts rn definitely are not.

    Summary

    Finally, Chuuya eloquently said, “I don’t want to date you.”
    Dazai huffed. “Yeah, well, I’m not too thrilled at the idea of having a crazy rockstar boyfriend. But you got us into this mess, you need to help us get out of it.”
    Had Dazai gone insane? Nakahara Chuuya and Dazai Osamu, dating? Had Chuuya not made it clear through the dozens of direct and indirect meetings that he despised Dazai with every fiber in his body.

    Featuring: drunk tweets, falling in love, horrendous song writing, cheesy interviews, learning how to "fake it," and Chuuya getting over the headache that is Dazai. Not necessarily in that order.

    it's been 5 days since i read this and ive read like 20 other longfics within this time but i still keep coming back to this one. i dont have the WORDS. the domesticity? the amusement park scene? the RAIN SCENE? THE BaLcONY SceNE?????? BRUH I HAD TO PUT MY PHONE DOWN AND TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO COLLECT MYSELF BC ID MELTED. DEF ONE OF MY MOST FAV FICS EVER, I HAVENT READ A SLOW BURN THIS GOOD IN AGES
    dazai characterization seemed off to me at first but lo and behold!! that was intentional!!! LOVE that
    also feel like chuuya was a bit too forgiving but its also understandable and that opinions more subjective than objective
    (note to self: ik makeouts beyond kissing arent my thing but its easy to skip past the saucy bits here. bls re read this in a few months it im getting homesick for it)
