Summary
At Kimetsu University Sanemi plays hockey, Giyuu figure skates. They got off on the wrong foot (blade?) in freshman year and mutually try to stay out of each other’s way. This works until junior year, when they end up in dorms in the same building, on the same floor, in the same wing. It goes as well as one would expect.
With big dreams, high expectations, and the last person they wanted as their neighbor, Sanemi and Giyuu are in for a hell of a year.

Summary
-
From the outside Castiel Novak looks like a regular guy: a good job, two teenage kids, a nice house and a crappy car he’s way too attached to.
But there’s one thing no one knows about him: that, over twenty years ago, he used to live next to none other than Dean Winchester – back then a brash and loud-mouthed boy and nowadays a huge movie star and Hollywood’s sweetheart.
Castiel never bothered to tell anyone about his childhood friend because frankly, who would believe him? Probably even Dean himself already forgot about his former awkward and weird neighbor, so Castiel seriously doesn’t see any point in mentioning the whole thing ever.
But then an interview on national TV happens where Dean reveals way more about his past than ever before … and Castiel - as well as the rest of the world - suddenly realizes that he left a much bigger impact on Dean’s life than he originally thought.

Summary
The media goes into a frenzy when A-list actor Dean Winchester's soulmark is captured in a paparazzi photo—especially since he recently started dating co-star, Lisa Braeden.
Hundreds of miles away at college, Castiel Novak recognizes Dean's mark as his own. However, he doesn't feel motivated to do anything about it when Dean's quotes to the press make it clear he doesn't believe in destiny and that he's happy with his current relationship.
And yet, in spite of repeatedly telling his cousin Gabriel that he and Dean live in two different worlds that aren't meant to collide, the book he is publishing behind his mother's back becomes surprisingly successful. He agrees to let it get turned into a movie—a movie that will star none other than Dean Winchester.

Summary
Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.
She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.
“Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.
“You long to go back.”
“Yes.”
“For a different outcome.”
Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”
“I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”
Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.

Summary
Dazai-centric, mostly canon one-shots all existing in the same universe. i.e. all the events in these fics are presumably in the same world and may be referenced in latter one-shots. My goal is to have 10 in total but who knows, maybe I'll make it to 20!
( ＾◡＾)っ ♡
I've been recently reading the works of real-life Dazai so I like to sprinkle in some references and easter eggs along the way. I've also consumed a lot of BSD works (English fan translations) in a short period of time, so these one-shots reference:
"Osamu Dazai and the Dark Era"
"How I Picked Up Dazai" or "The Day I Picked Up Dazai" (Parts A and B - this is also my favorite light novel)
"Beast" manga
"55 Minutes" (my other favorite!)
"Stormbringer"
"Dazai, Chuuya, Age 15"
"The Untold Origins of the Detective Agency"I'm up to date with the manga *cue all the soukoku heartache (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ * but I don't think I'll be incorporating recent chapters into these fics (though many a theory I have >>_>>)
