Summary
An AU in which MineDai are fishermen living in the same little village, their fates becoming entwined over a net.
Mine Yoshitaka is a solitary worker diligently keeping up to date with the quotas his business partners set, constantly moving as the nature of his business keeps him untethered. His skills leave much to be desired from his competitors, specialising in small-scale operations where he keeps stocks full and quality high. He doesn't remember how he got tangled in the line of work, but he knows he can't escape it easily.
Dojima Daigo is the unofficial 'mayor' of sorts in the village Mine landed in this time, and he seems to be everywhere at any point in time. Previously eager to ditch his hometown for the shiny allure of the city, the death of his father - the corrupt mayor meddling in business - starts a change of heart within him that leads him to this point. Now he spends his days helping his fellow neighbours and his nights drinking with the "fanclub" of fellow fishermen he's amassed through his good deeds and natural charisma.A chance meeting leaves a dent in Mine's well-kept armour, and with each passing day the humanity within him begs louder to be let out. Could Daigo set him free?

Summary

-
Kiryu and Majima ponder the nature of their feelings for one another and try to define what exactly pushes them towards each other at every opportunity

Summary
'Years from now he would come to learn that love isn't felt, it is shown; love was never a single emotion, all-encompassing and purifying and light. Love was dark, heavy, it was a burden carried by those that would do it ten times over if they could, not caring that they didn't have to. But now, in this moment, love was a distant concept and he couldn't recognize the weight on his shoulders for what it was.'
-
A character/relationship study following Mine and his struggles with human desires as he comes to terms with being loved.

Summary
Sometimes Gris seriously wonders what exactly goes on up in Enjin’s head. He’s a team leader with three kids, and is somehow one of the most reckless people he knows. Not with the kids around, but when he’s off by himself? It’s like all that stuff he tells his team goes out the door. Like it just doesn’t apply to him. He’d never let one of his kids go waltzing around in a No Man’s Land or a polluted zone alone. But him? Oh that was fair game, it didn’t matter if he did it.
OR
Enjin stresses Gris out.

Summary
No. No, that was dangerous territory. He can’t risk it. He's worked so hard to make it here—he cannot abandon his plans now. But, strike him down with his own zanpakutō, he wants to stay like this.
Stay here. Frozen in this moment. With Shinji.
Love creates hate. Ends violence. That's how the adage goes? Nothing upsetting about that, right?
