Summary
After doing some perfunctory waving and smiling for the crowd, he turns to Chuuya and elbows him in the arm, too high above to reach his waist. “Aren’t you tired yet of always losing to me?”
“I hope you fall off the podium and die,” Chuuya says without breaking his awkward camera grin.
Dazai mock gasps. “Now what would your fans say if they knew the vile things that come out of your mouth when no one’s looking?”
— or, the figure skating AU in which Dazai and Chuuya are forced to become rink mates when they are teenagers, sparking a rivalry that is as catastrophic as it is epic. A story about obsessions.

Summary
Paris is a city for dreamers, or so Dazai Osamu believes when he steps onto its rain-polished streets. A British law student with his head full of novels and foolish ideals, he isn’t here just for a degree—he’s here to fall in love.
Across the Seine, Chuuya Nakahara is grounded in reality. He spends his days balancing silver trays and biting back sharp words in a high-end restaurant, every tip pushing him closer to a life free from his older brother’s control. Romance is a luxury he refuses to afford.
But fate doesn’t care for plans. It arrives wearing a crooked smile and a British accent. And no matter how hard Chuuya tries to keep his distance, he finds himself drawn into Dazai’s orbit—unwillingly, unexpectedly, irrevocably.
