Summary
It's not that Five is "obsessed with the apocalypse". He's not a junkie chasing an adrenaline high of danger. It's just that the public's shared hallucinogenic memory of a timeline that shouldn't exist is weird, and so are the cross-dimensional artifacts, and so are the fully formed human beings that keep falling into Five's lap. Figuratively.
"Okay, man, just think about it," Diego interjects, loudly, pointing at Five with the mouth of his bottle. "Remaking the world's gotta be a messy process. It's not that surprising that there's just some weird cracks, a few spots that Dad didn't get super well. It's not a big deal."
"Just some weird cracks, he says," Five says dryly. "'Some weird cracks', like the man squatting in my apartment. The man I found unconscious in an alleyway with no memories. Weird cracks like those?"
Said man grins and waves a hand cheerfully, his inhuman orange eyes glowing eerily in the bright morning light. When nobody waves back, he reaches his hand to awkwardly paw at the feathery hair at the nape of his neck. His smile goes from cheery to awkward, and he whines, "You act like it's my fault, or something!"

Summary
Since he can remember, the only sincere reprieve Dazai has ever received from the storm in his mind was books. Mori had been fond of all kinds of literature, stocking the shelves of his old home with volumes and volumes of escape mechanisms. Like a thing starved, Dazai devoured them, shutting out the rest of the world in his pursuit of peace.
Opening the shop had been natural, and he’d quickly accrued a slew of regulars who would listen to him wax poetic about his favorite novels. He’d had quite a few starry-eyed admirers lean across the counter, eyes intent on him as he spouted off flowery quote after fiery quote, yet no one had ever spiked Dazai’s interest enough for him to take their affections seriously.
Yet he’d grown all too fond of romances, of the comfort in the knowledge of a happy ending. No matter what, at the end of the story, the princess always found her prince, regardless of any bumps they hit along the way. No matter how rocky the start, no matter how dire the situation, love always pulled through.
“The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you.”
or: a fluffy bookshop au featuring pining, painter chuuya, bookshop owner dazai, and a lot of love letters

Summary
As much as they loved the Agency, sometimes clients were frustrating. Several had come in that day with ridiculous requests. A teen boy said he’d move on if he had sex for the first time, looking Crystal up and down. Charles had taken great pleasure in throwing him through the door. Some priest said he’d wanted to release a few more sinners, glaring at the ghost boys who sat side by side. Edwin, thoroughly tired of people implying there was something wrong with them and their relationship, magicked the man through a mirror and dropped him in a desert. When the punk teen asked where he’d gone, he cackled when the Edwardian explained.

Summary
Five trips and scrapes his knees, which Allison declares as a sign that the schoolboy shorts have seriously got to go and that she's taking him shopping. Honestly, this shopping trip was a long time coming anyway and everyone is surprised Allison held out this long.
Then Klaus wants to go, and Diego could use a new knife, and Vanya has been meaning to grab some more socks for weeks and - yeah, it turns into a family trip to the mall for clothes.
Five is lost at all the choices available to him, Klaus tosses clothes like they're playing dodgeball, Vanya loyally mans the shopping cart, and somehow none of them get banned from the store.

Summary
For a magic-user intent on siphoning pain for power, both Hob Gadling and Edwin Payne represent unique opportunities. United in dire circumstances, a man incapable of dying and a boy long dead forge an unusual friendship--and try to survive the experience.
---
“When you died,” Hob said. “How old were you?”
“Sixteen.”
“That,” Hob said, “Is awful.”
Edwin shrugged. “Life is, I’m afraid,” he said.
“Can be wonderful, too,” Hob said. “I promise.”- Language:
