Summary
This is mostly a mix of drabbles or scenes I have taken out (that doesn't mean I won't eventually use them- just saving them in my pocket). Usually I write these when I want to get in the mood for writing and can't focus on a big project, like right now, when I've been working on chapter 1 of the Heartslabyul book and getting nowhere, lol.
This is also just to update you and let you know I am not dead! The ao3 author curse has not gotten me yet.
Consider these noncanon unless specified.

Summary
"You propose double-suicide to every woman you meet,” Ranpo lists on a righteous finger. “You abandon him in dangerous places when he specifically tells you not to, and ultimately,” the detective pauses, pulling two digits into a solemn fist—
“You left him first.”
Call the cops, Atsushi thinks, there’s just been a murder.

Summary
"I won't kill you just yet. Unless you beg for it.”
Fyodor let out a breath too weak to be a scoff. “My education never provided me with such a skill.”
“You'll learn, in time.” Nikolai shaped the promise into another threat. “They always do.”
Fyodor is a traveling priest whose boat is overrun by the infamous Dead Souls, a pirate crew of vicious outlaws and runaways. Their eccentric captain, Nikolai, has a notorious penchant for leaving no prisoners alive. However, rumors of a revolution plunge them into a brewing storm where nothing is certain. War threatens the shore, but greed infests the sea. In a turn of fate, an unlikely alliance is struck, and a bond more treacherous than the tide is forged.
[Or, the Fyolai Pirate-AU that no one asked for]

Summary
One of the doors is opened, a figure stepping out with a cigarette in hand, but it’s quickly discarded when the detective catches sight of them. “Ranpo-san! And the American, too. Good, good, thank you for coming.”
“Minoura! Where’s my crime scene? Did they really think a ghost was stealing their stuff? Bah, people are so stupid, what would a ghost do with jewelry?”
“They think a ghost is the culprit?” Poe wonders, frowning.
“Stupid,” Ranpo agrees.
“Did you both get it all out of your systems?” Minoura sighs, “let’s talk inside. Just– the wife is a little shaken with everything that’s going on, so.”
“Of course, we won’t comment on how foolish that conclusion was,” Poe nods solemnly, “people can be excused some absurdities in the throes of emotion, I believe.”
“No promises,” Ranpo pushes past them, cheerfully slipping inside.
*
or, Ranpo is faced with the age-old mystery: what to do when you've fallen in love? As told by crime scenes, afternoon coffees, and dinner conversations.
(or, alternatively, Ranpo tells a story.)
