Summary
Finally, he's going to be able to truly become what he's dreamt of his whole life. It's right there, practically staring him down.
So why does it feel so... wrong?
Out of the corner of his eye, he sees a flash of green hair.
Oh.

To This Everlasting Melody (Lost in Forever's Embrace) by VariantVariation
Fandoms: Alien Stage (Web Series)

Summary
Even as a child, his dreams were always strangely vivid. Images of children running in some artificial field, hideous creatures watching them through the glass, unnervingly familiar melodies echoing through his mind. His parents had chalked it down to simply just ‘kids have wild imaginations’, but the dreams never stopped. They only got worse with age, showing crueler and more painful scenes.
Then he saw Ivan, cold and lifeless. All because he wanted to save Till. It had felt so real, how could he let himself sleep again when he knew he'd just have to see it all over again?
---
Alternatively, I love the headcanon that sometimes in other aus they can remember the events of alien stage via dreams and i wanted to write about Till seeing round 6 in his dreams then telling Ivan about it and they have a moment of realization

And I was like "Huh?" (When did you get hot?) by VariantVariation
Fandoms: 文豪ストレイドッグス | Bungou Stray Dogs

Summary
The Dazai that Chuuya had grown so familiar with was scrawny, you could see the majority of his bones peeking out from under his skin. But this Dazai was the opposite.
Chuuya couldn’t help but gawk at his torso and arms. He’d grown a layer of fat, leaving his bones hidden now, and gained muscle. His eyes wandered from his biceps, his pecs, to his abs, unsure of where to look.
---
alternatively, Dazai stops Chuuya from using corruption and brings him back to his place to make sure he's ok, when Chuuya wakes up and sees Dazai he's a mess and is like "oh god why is he hot"
(inspired by the countless edits I saw of them to When did you get hot? by Sabrina Carpenter and the people in the comments asking for a fic like this)

When did you get hot? (I could look you up and down all day) by VariantVariation

Summary
Chuuya’s eyes scanned him, widening as they went. Not only had he grown taller, but he seemed fuller. Broader shoulders, a modest set of muscles on both arms, much less noticeable cheek bones. He almost wouldn’t of recognized him if it wasn’t for his haircut remaining unchanged for the most part, and the fact he was humming that forsaken double suicide song he’s obsessed with.
God, had time served him well. Sure, Dazai was never necessarily bad looking either, but shit if he didn’t look like a dream now.
Wait, what the fuck?
---
alternatively, I saw a bunch of edits of them to when did you get hot on tiktok and got inspired (but i'll admit this fic got away from me and took a different turn then i had planned so light angst ensues)

Summary
Chuuya never meant for things to go this far, it was a complete accident. But now Dazai was pregnant with his kid and it was getting harder and harder to deny his feelings.
---
or Chuuya is an idiot, Dazai is sad and pregnant and the author is losing their mind
