Summary
After the Fall of Eregion, many enchanted objects fell into the wrong hands as scavengers and treasure seekers descended upon the ruined city.
When reports of these objects surface, it is Erestor’s job to reclaim them. It’s a nice job. Lovely scenery, no more watching his king flirt with his lord, and he gets to leave the paperwork to lesser immortals.
It would be better, however, if Elrond had not ordered him to let a certain recently-reborn elf lord tag along...
OR Erestor and Glorfindel’s backpacking trip of sadness and emotional support.

Summary
"Among the tales of sorrow and of ruin that came down to us from the darkness of those days, there are yet some in which amid weeping there is joy and under the shadow of death, light that endures."
The Silmarillion, p. 162A collection of works that tie together throughout the history of Arda, but can mostly be read as stand-alone stories. If I am as productive as I am ambitions, the series will eventually include stories spanning from the Age of the Trees to the Fourth Age - Valinor. Most stories will follow Celebrimbor, Orodreth, and Gildor, then later Erestor, Glorfindel, and Elrond, throughout their political and personal struggles.

Summary
“Oi, Dazai, what are they saying, anyway? Too many people. It gets confusing.”
The detective smirks.
“They are just discussing the budget for the next mission. Kunikida insists he wants an ice cream, a drone, and a goat.”From the Port Mafia dungeon to the depths of Meursault, Dazai and Chuuya keep finding each other.
They fall in love all over again — or, maybe, they never stopped.That’s all.

Summary
Truth be told, Dazai made no effort to contradict Fukuzawa when he delivered the envelope with the details of this mission with a little sticky note, clearly in Mori’s handwriting, stating that he’d have to cooperate with the man Dazai vowed to kill at the ripe age of fifteen and has a track record of seven years of absolute failure. Not that Dazai has ever tried hard enough to get closer to his goal, though—not that he’s actually tried at all, for that matter.
Or: Five times Dazai fumbled an opportunity to confess his feelings, and one time he does something about it.

Summary
Gazing down into those blank, empty blue eyes, Dazai felt something shatter inside him. And in the wake of the destruction, the emptiness, he was flooded by sudden, ice-cold clarity.
It wasn't okay. But it would be.
He would make it okay.[Or, something unthinkable happens, and Dazai goes more than a little feral in his attempt to reverse it.]

Summary
At fourteen, Dazai is the one to find Chuuya after the lab explosion.
___
He watches Chuuya fall asleep, slow and soft, in small bits. He is so beautiful, and he is mine. All mine.
I am the first person he smiled at.
I am the first person who said his name.
I am the first person who has held him like this.
He is mine. He will always be mine now, after these things.
Dazai thinks, for a moment, that he might not ever get to feel things, or see the world the way most people do, or find a reason to live. But he can live for this, for him. For this boy. He does not care about birds or parks or trees or people, does not feel all that much when he sees the sunrise or sunset or the stars and the moon. He does not like dogs or children. He does not like the world.
But he likes Chuuya. He likes the way Chuuya looks when he is looking at all these things.

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
