    Summary

    Dazai has always found sympathy from others a little too saccharine, but Ranpo’s brand of astringent care might just be palatable enough for him to accept.

    OR

    Dazai has a habit of forgetting to eat. Ranpo’s solution is to drag him along on sweets excursions.

    Summary

    Oda is caught in that liminal space between feeling wary of Dazai and wanting to know him.

    Alternatively—

    Dazai gets sick, Oda looks after him, and they both angst over a dead man (for different reasons) before growing closer to each other.

    Summary

    “You never did tell me why you’re doing all this.” Chuuya decides to change the topic. “You look like you’re having a shit time. Why force yourself?”

    Dazai hums, resting his head on his knees. “Currently, I’m not allowed to die. So I suppose I’m trying to earn my right to live.”

    A scoff, unamused but not derisive either. “The hell is that? You’re here right now, aren’t you?” When he receives no response, he sighs. “You know, I don’t get you at all. You toy with friends and foe alike, always lording over everyone, but it’s not like you’ve ever looked at anything. It’s like you’re far off in your own world. I can’t tell what’s going on in your head half the time.”

    “Maybe if your brain weren’t being consumed by your hat, you would,” Dazai replies automatically, earning an indignant shout from Chuuya.

    For Dazai, living might be far more terrifying than dying, but there are people who will catch him when he falls.

    (A BEAST ending rewrite in which Atsushi makes it in time, Dazai says the right things for once, and things aren’t as broken as they seemed.)

    Summary

    As the days flow past like the lazy drip of honey, Sherlock spends most of his time observing William. Sometimes, yes, it’s through the eyes of a lovesick fool marveling at his grace, but more often it’s a detective faced with an unsolvable mystery.

    To see William’s bare skin illuminated by the rising sun is to be a non-believer seeing the face of God for the first time.

    He finds it unfair that William was given such a face, and by that he means, a face beautiful enough to make concealing the hurt easy, to make every lie believable, that he was bestowed with the power of subtle grace and with it the ability to make the mirage of himself so easily believable.
