    Summary

    What if Akutagawa had listened in to Dazai and Atsushi's conversation on the boat at the end of Season 3?

    She’s looking at the ship with a small smile on her face. “You know, for all that the Agency is full of skilled people, they’re surprisingly easy to plant bugs on.

    He wouldn’t be able to take it if Dazai started next. He’s reaching a hand up when he hears, “We’re just fundamentally incompatible.”

    What’s that supposed to mean? He wants to scream at Atsushi, to catch him with Rashōmon and shake him until he tells him.

    “I know you’re listening.”

    His breath is finally coming clear and he’s got enough air in his lungs to worry about what Dazai says next, in a terrifyingly soft tone of voice. It’s an order.

    “Meet me on the ship. I’ll be disappointed if I don’t see you here.”

    Summary

    It isn’t the kind of thing that Atsushi expected to walk in on. Dazai holding a meeting in neutral territory -- that wasn’t weird in of itself, the warehouse barren and echoing as Atsushi walked through it. The office door was heavy when he swung it open, but it didn’t creak, nothing but the soft sound of displaced air to announce his arrival.

    It was enough: Akutagawa’s eyes dart towards Atsushi for a brief second before they refocus on Dazai like Atsushi isn’t even there.

    “Atsushi-kun,” Dazai offers, like Akutagawa isn’t on his knees on the concrete floor, like Dazai isn’t holding Akutagawa’s throat in a vice grip that looks like it could turn deadly in a moment’s notice.

    Yeah, the weird part was definitely everything else about this.

    Summary

    It’s always been tea for him.

    Whether it’s lavender, chamomile, or jasmine, Akutagawa smells like comfort, something warm and soothing.

    Atsushi doesn’t love him, but it’s what he feels love is like.

    Summary

    Zenitsu is afraid. Kaigaku and Gramps are inside, where it is safe, thinking Zenitsu has long gone to sleep. But Zenitsu isn’t asleep—he’d snuck out to meet a girl in the village a mile away, and is now faced with a demon instead.

    ‘’Eat,’’ Kokushibo hisses as he throws the corpse down on the ground. It’s Mari—the girl Zenitsu was supposed to meet tonight. Her pretty red hair is not nearly as crimson as the blood soaking her yukata, and Zenitsu feels like throwing up. He’s also hungry. He knows her. Knows she has a name, but he is hungry and afraid—oh so afraid.

    He eats.

    Summary

    “Ho there.” The visitor appears in good cheer. Tall, well-built, not visibly armed but that means nothing. “You’re the demon of these parts? End to a hundred men? The Monster with the Wooden Face?”

    Beneath his mask, Felix grimaces. Who was coining these things?

    Far away from his past and the people in it, Felix makes a small life for himself, practicing magic in seclusion and accidentally giving rise to contradictory local legends.

    One of those stories lays a trail for his old life to follow, and it leads right to his door.
