Summary
“Only under two circumstances does the trust pay out to you: either you marry, or you turn twenty-five – whichever comes first – and it seems to me that despite only being twenty-two, you’ll become quite the rich man soon, Dazai.”
Mori Ougai's two protegés, Yosano Akiko and Dazai Osamu, both have an opportunity to skyrocket the Port Mafia's influence tenfold. A traumatized Yosano meekly agrees, while a vengeful Dazai finally begins plotting a long-deserved visit from karma to his dear uncle.
For the Tale of Twin Doves and the harrowing Nightfall before them spares no soul.

Curtain Call by MyMelantine (Melantine) for levskiess

Summary
"Why the hell–” Lippmann’s voice cracks as he sniffles, letting the coke enter his bloodstream. His shoulders sag almost immediately. “–aren’t you fucking mad at me, huh? If you’ve got something to say, I’m not stopping you.”
The implication goes unspoken: get mad at me so that I can have more fuel.
All life lessons are taught through blood, sweat and tears. Lippmann will never be an exception to that rule, for not even good looks or natural talent can spare him from the inevitability of failure.

Summary
“Five hundred yen was just enough to grab a snack from across the street, alright? It’s hardly stealing if I make that money back tenfold while working in that dingy place!”
The first shoe had dropped – the tea on the table jiggled unsteadily as Yuan’s open hand hit the table. Neither figure moved a muscle at her intimidation attempt, only serving to stoke the fires of her fury.
“It’s not like I asked to be here. I would’ve preferred prison to the fake freedom I have here!”
Post-arrest, Yuan is placed with a host family. How can she possibly adjust to stability when The Sheep were all she ever knew?

Summary
“I know it deep in the heart that I was cursed with. You love me, Chuuya. And the shackles of duty cut so deeply into your ankles that you cannot run into my embrace.”
Somewhere between On High and Far Below, two larks encircle each other in a feathery dance bound by predetermined fate.

Summary
With a hefty sigh and narrowed golden eyes like chips of gold, the team captain readies to repeat his order for the play in question:
‘Shotgun formation, Tanizaki forward.’
The words wilt in his throat, the petals of duty on the field floating back into his lungs. The dirty-redhead’s eyes focus behind the head of someone else he could not care less to name: she stood right there, just beyond the fence overlooking the field. And the only pitiful mutter that seeps from his lips is:
“Wow.”In which Tachihara Michizou, the quarterback with a bright athletic future, finds that football is merely second-string to finding out the identity of the most beautiful human being he'd ever laid eyes on.

Summary
Sigma is SKY Ballet Company's very own almost-crowned Prima Ballerina: a once-in-a-generation honor that she spent most of her life working toward. Her husband is her high school sweetheart and also known as the one-and-only A-List actor and resident heartthrob, Dazai Osamu.
Fame, talent, and the perfect husband - Miss Sigma has it all.
The world-class ballerina is the star of her own fairytale and the illusion of happiness crumbles to her En Pointe feet.
With public opinion swayed by a caption, a pretty face, and a lie-by-omission, Sigma's enchanted life morphs into a barren field of open betrayal laid upon the depths of Instagram.
After her cheating husband rips her of any-and-all earned success as a oh-so-loving parting gift, like a phoenix materialized out of ashes, Sigma must find her footing and herself as she is cast away.
Hell hath no fury like a woman truly scorned, burned by love... and one Dazai Osamu may soon find out that instruments of karma come readily to those who have been victimized in cold blood.
The law of revenge is one of equally-inflicted pain: an eye for an eye.

Summary
"You know where to find us, Albatross."
Something passes through the older man's face as he turns away, a silent acceptance of his parting. The breath that Albatross had been holding slithers out between his lips and his gaze falls briefly to the floor beneath him before he turns on his heel, trying to mask the way his faux-smile had slipped off of his face.
"Yeah, yeah."
'Don't worry, I won't find y'all tonight.'
Sometimes the most unexpected action is a show of kindness for a suffering soul.

Summary
His features harden as he focuses now, barking out clear orders to any Port Mafia member on-duty to join him… and when all three available charges rally to his call, they are shocked to see Port Mafia Executive Paul Verlaine with his hair properly pulled back and in the largest kitchen that the headquarters has access to: in the confines of the basement.
“Don’t stand around and gawk. Get your hands washed and put your hair into nets. We have some croissants to bake.”
Today, like no other, had to be absolutely perfect for Paul Verlaine.

Summary
“To be honest… I don’t have many memories of holidays.” Dazai let slip, attempting to keep his mask of indifference in-tact. “Not positive ones, anyway.”
“I know.” Yosano nods and she gestures toward where everyone else is: they are all having different conversations and messing around in their own little bubbles. The air is light and carefree, despite their usual work environment. “...but you can always make new ones.”
In which a certain detective finds himself realizing that taking things as they are is a gift in itself.
