Summary
Each inhale feels like a foreign intrusion, as if his body had forgotten that air was a necessity and not a ghost to be exorcized from his lungs. As Dazai fights for breath, he wonders nonsensically if maybe that’s what this is after all: a possession, or maybe a curse, curling in the tomb of his belly like a pit viper, waiting to strike at death itself before death takes him first.
Certainly it’s no stranger than the truth: that despite his best efforts, Dazai is still alive.

Written for Ikigai, an Odazai Zine (2022).

Summary
A run-in with an unknown ability user leaves Akutagawa with memories of a life he's never experienced—memories of another version of himself, in a strange world where he is a detective and the weretiger is the white reaper of the Port Mafia.

Summary
“There is no escape.” Fukuchi saunters toward him, sword intact in his hand once more. “But I do admire your tenacity, Akutagawa-kun. You should have agreed to be my apprentice. There is so much I can teach you.”
“You remember it, don’t you?” He tips Akutagawa’s chin up with the end of the blade. Akutagawa allows it, too dizzy to resist, and meets a gaze that is almost sympathetic. “Dying?”
Akutagawa shudders. The memory is already fading, like trying to hold water in the cup of his hands. All that is left is fragments. The sting of the blade. The sinking sensation of death. The darkness, as black as Dazai’s eyes, empty, aching with regret.
In which instead of dying, Akutagawa cuts through time with Rashoumon and drags Atsushi along for the ride.

Summary
But she'd long ago made peace with the reality that she could never hope to hold the whole of Jean Gunnhildr's attention. It was a commodity far too in demand, pulled and tugged as many directions as dandelion seeds in their fickle Archon's wind. To chase such a thing was a childish fantasy: fun sometimes, but leading nowhere.
Eula Lawrence had already picked more than her fair share of losing battles, and was busy fighting them still—she had little interest in adding another to her timetable.

Summary
“What’s this?”
Dazai hears the frown in Ranpo’s voice more than he sees it; he takes a quick breath, then turns around with his typical beatific smile to hide the way his heart is beating a mile a minute. “A flower. I saw the seeds for it in the flower shop the other day and remembered your cactus, so I thought you might like it.”

Summary
“Shut up,” Kunikida said, any pretense of calm gone from his voice. “You’re bleeding out!”
“I’m sure that Kunikida-kun will save me,” Dazai said, cheerfully.
In which everyone gets injured and two inept individuals wonder about the meaning of partnership.
