Summary
Between the Port Mafia's awe of Dazai's intellect and Takechi's admiration of the same, Ranpo is feeling offended that Dazai is getting all the attention in what is traditionally Ranpo's sphere.
Ranpo initiates a competition, a battle of wits between the two to prove who is smarter, but doesn't realize that Dazai might be playing a completely different game.
Excerpt:
As Dazai strolled into the bullpen Monday morning, twenty minutes late as usual, the rest of the detectives were already at their desks, working away, sporting various degrees of Monday morning face or demeanor and, in many cases, drinking coffee as though it were the only way to stave off the apocalypse.
Dazai smiled at the universality of the working condition as he paced lightly to the side table holding the coffeemaker and placed a large box on it.
“I brought pastries,” he said to the room in general, and turned toward the coatrack.

Summary
In #72 (It's Not A Joint Mission), the ADA borrowed Chuuya to go undercover in a pop idol contest, in order to plant bugs in a meeting between an information broker and a government minister. Two stories later, in #74 (Maybe Someday), the information broker, impressed by Dazai's planning skills, offered Dazai his choice of jobs. Dazai turned down the full-time job offer, since he is committed to the ADA for the foreseeable future, but he accepted the offer to overhaul Takechi's security procedures.
His methods are, shall we say - unconventional.
Excerpt:
Dazai finished tying his shoes and rose. “I’ll call when I’m on the way home and see if you want me to pick something up.”
Chuuya glanced back at the coffee table, where Dazai’s cell phone rested. He turned back to Dazai. “Got your phone?”
“I do.” Dazai smiled and drew a burner phone half out of his pocket, then slid it back in. He bent and kissed Chuuya goodbye. “Have fun,” he said.
“You, too,” Chuuya said.
“Oh, count on it,” Dazai replied with a wink, and left the apartment, pulling the door closed behind him.

Summary
Dazai and Chuuya participate in normal-people activities, which are quite special to them, having led such wildly abnormal lives up to now. They take down their Christmas decorations. And make a New Year's decoration. And invite Atsushi and Kyouka over to make a New Year's decoration too. And I can only conclude that Atsushi has decided he wants to be Chuuya when he grows up.
Excerpt:
“So I was thinking, if we have free time, it might be nice to try another normal-people thing this afternoon.”
Chuuya threaded his arm through Dazai’s, heart thumping with eagerness. Despite the fact that he had lived so much more life since they were fifteen than Dazai had, he still didn’t think of himself as normal or, often, human. Doing so-called ‘normal’ things with Dazai went a long way toward making him feel like an ordinary human being. “Sounds good to me,” he said a little breathlessly. “Got something specific in mind?”

Go to Tokyo Disneyland in chapter 1;
Decorate a tree and listen to Christmas songs in chapter 2:
Conduct the first Great Mistletoe War in chapter 3:
And make Christmas cookies together and have a quiet evening at home in chapter 4.Excerpt from chapter 3:
Chuuya toweled his hair and wrapped the towel around his neck. He combed his hair carefully and then gently toweled it once more to fluff it. He tossed the towel into the hamper, applied deodorant, and dressed in his black slacks and white shirt.
He opened the bathroom door and stared straight into the wall of his husband’s chest. His gaze travelled upward.
“What the fuck?” he asked mildly.
Dazai gave him that devilish smile that foretold no good, and sang, “Why Chuuya, thank you!” He leaned down and kissed Chuuya thoroughly.
As he withdrew, standing upright with a smirk, Chuuya looked up at him, dazed. “And what prompted that?” he asked, bewildered.
As if it were obvious, Dazai said, “You were standing under the mistletoe.”

Summary
This story wraps up the arc that began with It's Not A Joint Mission, in which Chuuya went undercover in the Yokohama Pop Idol competition in order to bug a meeting between a minister and an information broker.
Dazai and Chuuya discuss decommissioning Chuuya's cover identity, and Dazai gets whisked away for a private meeting with the information broker.
Excerpt:
Dazai lowered himself comfortably into the corner of the sofa, one long leg stretched out along the back of the seat and the other on the floor. Chuuya settled himself between his husband’s legs and lay back against his chest, and as Dazai wrapped his arms around Chuuya’s waist, Chuuya folded his own arms over Dazai’s, hands loosely gripping his husband’s forearms. Dazai planted a kiss on the top of Chuuya’s head and relaxed.
“Hm,” Dazai said thoughtfully. “In the spirit of full disclosure, I should probably let you know how I’m handling Kousei.”
“Do you have to?” Chuuya asked lazily. “How much am I gonna hate it?”

Summary
In last week’s story, It’s Not A Joint Mission, the Armed Detective Agency borrowed Chuuya from the Port Mafia to go undercover in the Yokohama Pop Idol competition. Chuuya is glad to finally be back to his real job; busting heads is much more his speed than undercover work. But his first day back is stressful, as he was very convincing as a pop idol, and some of his colleagues are looking at him a little differently.
Chuuya handles it.
Excerpt:
Chuuya stood in front of his office door, hands balled into loose fists in his pockets. He stared at the collage of pictures of ‘Kousei’ from the Yokohama Pop Idol competition affixed to his door. In the battle between wry amusement and irritation, irritation was already ahead by a nose.
‘If I take them down right away, will someone put up a new batch, or will they take the hint?’ he wondered.

Summary
The ADA needs to bug a meeting in order to confirm a minister is selling information to an information broker. Unfortunately, the information broker is extremely competent and has excellent security.
The one possible gap that Dazai can find in the security arrangements? An after-party for the finalists of the Yokohama Pop Idol competition.
There's only one person the ADA knows that could make it to the finals of the competition, but he works for the Port Mafia. And unfortunately, despite the truce, this isn't a joint mission, so the Port Mafia will require something in exchange.
Excerpt:
“Dazai, we are in negotiations with - ah,” Mori said, looking down the Agency side of the table. “We’ll just leave it at that, for public consumption. We will accept your services as the Port Mafia’s negotiator, in exchange for Chuuya’s services in your sting operation.”

Summary
In They Think It's a Trap (#32 in this series), Chuuya used Corruption, and a foreign ability user was able to lull Arahabaki temporarily. While she was unable to dismiss Arahabaki, her actions allowed Chuuya to awaken within his body while Arahabaki was still in control.
Now, Chuuya has to use Corruption again. And now that he knows he doesn't have to surrender control completely for Arahabaki to get the job done -
He's not going to.
Excerpt:
Facing forward, he swaggered into the clearing, pulling off his gloves. “Grantors of dark disgrace,” he began, and then his smile grew wider. Intent matters, he thought. I don’t have to surrender control. I can just - loan it out temporarily.
With a feral smile, he stalked forward. “Grantors of dark disgrace,” he said, and his mouth curved viciously. “Wake me in five minutes.”

Summary
Back in stories 44 & 45, A Nice Person and But Don’t Tell Him That, Chuuya stepped in and helped the ADA out in the aftermath of a traumatic mission. The ADA was very grateful for his assistance, and uniformly agreed that he was a good person. Chuuya was noticeably upset by that label, and they agreed to not press the issue, even if they didn’t understand why it bothered him.
Dazai, however, understood, even if Chuuya himself didn’t, and has been waiting for the last six months for the other shoe to drop. Today it finally does, and this time Dazai is the one who’s there to provide support.

Summary
The Halloween party is being held at the Port Mafia offices. Some love the excuse to dress sexy, and some are just there for the company.
Excerpt:
“Wow,” Yosano said, releasing the hug and immediately reaching for her phone again. “You are hot as hell.” She took a couple of pictures of Chuuya, and one of Dazai. “So, angel and demon, huh? Nice.”
Chuuya grinned playfully at her, and Dazai said, amused, “I’m guessing you two are a study in opposites as well.”
In answer, Yosano removed her coat and handed it to Kunikida.
“Jesus fuck!” Chuuya blurted, his eyes bulging.

Summary
Chatting on the sofa one afternoon, Dazai asks Chuuya why he’s never seen him use his ability when dancing. Hearing Dazai’s take on it, Chuuya is inspired to try it.
Chuuya in motion is always a breathtaking sight for Dazai, so it’s hardly a surprise that he is captivated by his husband’s dancing.
Excerpt:
Dazai raised his head a few inches. In a husky voice, he spoke in Chuuya’s ear.
“May I?”
Chuuya twitched as that voice reached into him and plucked the strings of his libido. Dazai’s breath on his ear sent a rush of heat through him, and his arousal firmed.
“I’ll fucking kick your ass if you don’t,” he vowed.
A dark smile bloomed on Dazai’s face, and he hefted Chuuya in his arms, resettling the smaller man’s weight over his hips, and strode toward the bedroom.

Summary
Soukoku are called in to do the impossible. Super easy, barely an inconvenience. Fukuzawa and Mori arrange a little after party for all involved. The after party starts off rocky, but fun is had by all.
Excerpt:
The mission was impossible, by definition.
Joseph Heller could not be stopped. His ability, Catch-22, was so powerful that it had become the default idiom for anything fundamentally impossible.
“Conveniently,” said Mori in a self-satisfied tone, “for the two of you, impossible is just another Tuesday.” He steepled his hands on the top of the Agency’s conference table as Elise rolled her eyes from the seat next to him.
“It’s Wednesday,” Elise and Dazai said simultaneously, with matching expressions of derision.

Summary
In story #58, Respect, Tachihara was violently evicted from the Port Mafia when his obsession with Chuuya began interfering with his work. Deprived of that obsession, he has turned his focus back to getting revenge for his brother. Fortunately, Yosano has the most powerful guardian angels in Japan looking out for her. If you read the tags, you already know that this will conclude the Tachihara side story.
Excerpt:
Halfway across the crosswalk, Yosano and Kunikida heard a car approaching the intersection from behind them, but didn’t see a jagged chunk of metal enter the road and prop itself at a sharp angle just as the fast car reached it.
They heard the violent pop of a tire bursting and the squeal of brakes, and turned their heads to see a small blue hatchback, now out of control, skidding straight for them.
Before they could react, the car was enveloped in a red glow and moved back into its lane, coming to a quick stop.
“You guys okay?”

Do I Get A Reward For Being Good? by RandomOkapi

Summary
The morning after Speak From The Gut, Dazai and Chuuya wake up and continue their discussion from the night before. Later, at work, Dazai and Kunikida go on an emergency mission and are captured by the enemy. Dazai is a very good boy and keeps all his promises.
Canon-typical violence can absolutely make for a soft, fluffy story, when it's my beloved Soukoku.
Excerpt:
Dazai lay in bed, hands laced together over his chest, staring at the ceiling. The covers tugged a little to the left as Chuuya stirred, and Dazai turned his head to look at his husband. A mop of disheveled red hair lifted off the pillow, and light shone off an eye through the tumbled curls, and then the covers started moving as if a herd of cats had started a migration underneath.
There was a brief, cool draft as the covers between them rose, and then the draft was replaced with the scorching heat of Chuuya’s body pressing against Dazai’s side. Dazai wrapped his arm around the petite redhead as he arranged himself half-on, half-off Dazai, one leg wrapped over the taller man’s hip and one arm folded over Dazai’s chest. Chuuya rested his chin on the back of his hand and looked at Dazai with droopy-eyed intensity.

Summary
Atsushi’s combat training with Chuuya is going really well. Which is really bad. But no problem, we have a Yosano.
Excerpt:
'Oh, fuck,' Chuuya thought with astonishing clarity. Somehow, despite not having time to react physically, he had time to think to himself, 'Taught me a lesson about complacency,' and then time sped up as he ignored the agonizing pain of having his arm nearly ripped off and focused his ability on Atsushi, pinning him in place in a red glow.
Falling to his knees, he managed, “Good one, kid,” and then suppressed a noise of pain. A few ragged breaths later, he panted, “We’re done -” and after another grunt, “Stand down.”

Summary
Dazai and Chuuya go out for drinks and to play pool with Chuuya's friends Inoue, Tanaka, and Sato to celebrate Inoue's promotion to squad leader of the Black Lizard. (See the story Respect if you don't know why there's a vacancy.) (Chuuya's friends appeared previously in Please Let Me Take You Home, and in Osamu.)
Fun is had, and teasing is had, and yes, Dazai's a pool shark. And a relentless flirt.
Excerpt:
Chuuya looked at the table. His eyes darted this way and that as he surveyed each shot and found it blocked by another ball, until -
“Oh, you fucking evil bastard,” he swore. “Really?” He glared at Dazai, but with humor this time.
“I said I’d let the punishment fit the crime,” Dazai replied. “Payback.” He smirked.
