    Summary

    God doesn't exist and even if he did, he bailed a long time ago, leaving his subordinates on their own.

    Chuuya works for HQ, an organization that exists beyond time and space, as a transmigrator. His job is simple: go down to one of infinite worlds, play secondary background role and keep the plotline in check so the world doesn't collapse. Simple.

    When Chuuya gets assigned to his first high-profile, long-term case, he finally has a chance to prove everyone who doubted him, what he's capable of. Chuuya is nothing but a loyal employee, eager to show the higher-ups his dedication to doing his job flawlessly. He can't screw it up again, not this time.

    After landing in Yokohama, he forms a plan: learn how to be a human, resist the urge to kill his menance of a partner Dazai Osamu, keep events going smoothly, follow orders, and don't blow his cover.

    But when he faces the characters he had only read about before, Chuuya starts to realize they might be more than
    just a cluster of letters and numbers in his files. He's not supposed to care. It's against everything he was taught, yet here he is, changing the Plot, alternating the characters' paths. This surely won't backfire, right?

    “Listen, I can deal with whatever sick shit you decide do with me, but don’t fucking pretend that you care. Don’t fucking pretend to be him. I don’t know how you figured out how I used to organize my flat, or – or the nicknames we had – but don’t you fucking dare.” Chuuya’s voice wavers, quivers, and Dazai’s heart cracks almost audibly.

    “Chuuya. I… what?” Dazai can barely bear to look at Chuuya, because the other man’s lips tremble and his eyes are glassy, as if he’s on the verge of crying. Dazai’s heart stutters and the palms of his hands grow clammy. For as long as he could think, emotions were more like a hobby to him, something he indulges in when he feels like it, something he turns off when it gets annoying. They aren’t supposed to overpower him like this, to sweep him away and stick to him like melted rubber. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. Who is him?”

    Chuuya swallows harshly and fidgets where he lies, hands clenching and unclenching around the bedding. He seems to wrestle with himself. “Are you… Are you really him?”

    “Who?” Dazai asks, desperate. “Am I who, Chibi? For goodness sake, you’re not making any sense!”

    Chuuya winces at the nickname, but his eyes light up for a split second. “Dazai. Are you really Dazai?”

    Summary

    He’s sauntering towards the door, home-free after another day of arriving late and dragging out his lunch break when he receives the call.

    He smiled a little. This ought to be good.

    “This better be-”

    Unmistakable. Hearing it was like smelling it, was like seeing it, watching the carnage, something inhuman, incredible, never to be replicated- never the same twice, never tiring of watching it.

    The unmistakable rumble reached him, crackling through the phone’s speaker, which would only mean one thing.

    Summary

    "If he felt confused before, it was nothing compared to the shock he felt after hearing that statement. Framing the truth to paint Chuuya in a more favorable light was one thing. Outright lying to Mori was another altogether. He couldn’t wrap his head around why Dazai would do the former, let alone the latter.

    Just as he was finally getting his mind back to him, he was dismissed. Chuuya hesitates long enough to call into question if he’s about to disobey a direct order from the Boss. He just needs to catch Dazai’s eye. He needs to see. This is difficult, as Dazai is looking anywhere but at him. However, his not leaving the room does make one unbandaged eye swing over at him.

    'Go on ahead, be a good dog and wait outside while the adults talk.' Dazai looks away from him again, and Chuuya doesn’t have the mental energy to protest being called a dog, or comment on Dazai being younger than him. He just turns and walks out of the office, completely numb."

    or

    After a mission gone wrong, Chuuya must totally reevaluate everything he thought he knew about his and Dazai's dynamic

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Dazai-san, you know as well as anybody that actions have their consequences. Step away from him, if you would.” Phrased as a request, but Dazai did know better, and he knew it was anything but. Maybe Mori wanted him to be deferential, he could do that.

    “Mori-sama, please- I beg you, please don’t let my failure hurt Chuuya. I will accept any punishment you see fit, but please just allow me to help him first.”

    “Oh Dazai, my boy no-” Mori’s voice was dripping in condescension, like poisoned honey, “-you aren’t being punished, don’t you remember? The enemy organization was taken out, you did your part.”

    Dazai was so, so tired. Later, he will blame being slow on the uptake on this fact. “But, then what-”

    “Chuuya disobeyed my direct order to not go after you, so it wouldn’t make any sense for me to allow him to keep you and be rewarded for his bad behavior, now would it?”

    Everything suddenly made a terrifying amount of sense. Ane-san’s reluctance to let him in the room, Mori being absent when he woke up, Chuuya being put in this room. He had been right, days ago, this entire situation was one gigantic, twisted penalty for Chuuya failing that mission. Dazai’s ‘punishment’ was truly nothing more than a trap for Chuuya to dig himself a deeper hole. And now Mori was looking to take Dazai away from him, as the final nail in the coffin. It would no doubt break Chuuya, possibly beyond repair. Dazai couldn’t allow that to happen under any circumstance.

    --------------------------------

    Unfortunately, Chuuya’s subconscious wasn’t as primitive as those in the room may have believed. He could feel every beat of the heart placed in front of him, and was hyper focused on its rhythm, also equally focused on the hands in his hair. The moment that heart skipped, perfectly timed to the most minute of loosenings of his hair, he was off.

    They had their hands over their mouth, as the overwhelming scent was making both their eyes water.

    Chuuya was on the couch, curled up in a ball on one cushion shaking in pain and bound with rope.

    "Move carefully," Dazai warned, walking towards the front door where a trigger laid in trap around the handle. There was a switch in place along the cord that would cause a spark. Dazai frowned at the old tactic used by himself long ago. With nimble fingers, he dismantled the central piece of it and opened the front door to air out the room.

    "Chuuya," Atsushi was knelt down near the couch, too alarmed to touch him.

    ---

    "It. Doesn't matter, if we leave-- the other floors will go off," Chuuya lifted his chin and Dazai couldn't hide his collapse when he saw how red Chuuya's eyes were. They bled down in tear tracks, his pupils didn't dilate or respond to focusing on his old partner.

    Dazai was impressed Chuuya was standing if he was honest, this particular poison was something he designed with a group of scientists when he was a kid to help with the interrogations. It blinded the person so painfully it felt like their eyes were being gouged out as each tiny vessel burst and the shock to the optic nerve completely shut down to blind them.

    Summary

    After the absolute shit storm that has become of Yokohama, being sent around Europe to negotiate with allies is almost a relief for Chuuya. All he wants is to do his job without some asshole showing up and trying to destroy the world. To do his job without his shitty ex-partner-turned-detective screwing with him, and without his adopted aunt and boss breathing down his neck. In fact, if everything could just go back to the way it was, that would be great.

    But making sure the different mafias don't start wars among each other is the least of Chuuya's worries. Something else is coming. Something dangerous. Something that draws him back to Yokohama and even deeper into his past.

    Things are about to get a lot more complicated, whether Chuuya likes it or not.

    Arahabaki snarls, fighting so close to the surface, a haze of red filling his vision. He snatches up his wrist with his opposite hand, squeezes hard enough he nearly breaks his own arm, using the pain to temper back the demon. He can’t hold out much longer. Pebbles are beginning to rise off the ground around him, spiraling in the air. A maniacal laugh bubbles in his chest and he swallows it behind gritted teeth. (Why should he? A sinister voice teases in his ear. What does the world of mortals mean to him? Why doesn’t he just burn it down? It would be so fun, after all, watching all the little people scream—)

    The pain of a broken finger snaps through the after haze of the kiss. Chuuya grunts and reaches for the next, wheezing as Arahabaki howls its fury.

    The reprieve is a split second. The pain clears his head momentarily, allowing him to suck in a breath. "Pretty stupid—" he forces out, "to taunt a demon of destruction." He sneers at the man and takes another finger—his middle finger—in his grip.

    Summary

    Chuuya doesn't like solo missions. He doesn't like working alone after knowing the comfort and advantage of a partner at his side. Enough years have passed, though, that he no longer complains about it.

    So, he's alone when the intruder in the mafia's warehouse strikes.

    Suddenly, Chuuya's in a world where he doesn't have to face life on his own anymore. His friends are alive, and no one's ever thought to betray him-- and he has a new partner now, a stranger who loves and cares for him the way someone else never seemed to.

    He's happy. He's satisfied. And, with each second in this dream world, he risks the chance of never returning to the real life he left behind.

    And that's when Dazai decides to get involved.

    Chapter 2

    The smaller’s eyes widened at that, brows drawing together slowly as realization sunk in, an uneasy grin curling the edges of his lips.

    “...holy shit. You are jealous.”

    The glee about this knowledge didn’t last him long, as the air was forced from his lungs, by a knee heavily impacting his abdomen. It left him disoriented for long enough to receive a fist to his face, forcing him to stumble backwards and trying to catch himself.

    Stepping closer, Dazai grabbed Chuuya’s wrist once more, a loud bang ringing through the room. The executive felt a sharp pain in his side, wide eyes looking up at the nullifier as he shook his head in disbelief. In quick succession, multiple more bullets pierced his upper body, followed by the feeling of cold metal point blank against his forehead.

    “Well. You sure helped him fail here~ Let’s give him one more chance, hm, petit mafia?”

    Summary

    Chuuya had been to four different doctors already, all coming up with the same answer. We don’t know.

    He had a sort of sinking feeling. This had all started right after using corruption for the first time in four years; the battle with Lovecraft.

    Three firm knocks could be heard from the other side of the Armed Detective Agency’s main office room door. Dazai gave a vaguely suspicious look as his fingers lifted from his computer’s keyboard.
