    Summary

    Chuuya tells him one night after a drink too many that he feels like he’s stuck on an endlessly looping rollercoaster. That the ride up doesn’t feel so daunting until it drops and sends him plummeting back down.

    For a long time, Dazai assumes the highs must be better. Not good, necessarily, but better—anything has to be better than the aching stasis he lives in, an endless gray of nothingness that presses against his ribs and makes it hard to breathe. Chuuya’s mania sounds like freedom; to feel energized and alive, to wake up with a purpose—however unhinged—seemed like a fair trade for a little chaos and the inevitable crash. He used to watch Chuuya in those bright, impossible weeks and feel a kind of envy he couldn’t name. Chuuya would laugh too loud, talk too fast, waste so much energy on the mundane—and Dazai would think, God, I’d kill to feel like that.

    He doesn’t anymore.

    or ; how dazai learns that the highs aren't any easier

    Summary

    As words continued to elude him, sentences crumbled like fragile castles of sand, and Poe's desperation deepened with every fleeting moment.

    Poe finds himself impossibly stuck while writing what should be his best work yet, something worthy of Ranpo's deductive mastery! Incapable of any form of patience, Ranpo decides to visit the novelist after weeks of unanticipated silence, finding the writer in shambles as he fights endlessly to impress.

    Summary

    Finding out that a lie has pervaded years of your life isn’t exactly a great way to end a mission, especially when it results in complete ignorance about your own biology. At twenty years old, Akutagawa had thought he was done learning about himself, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at all. As it turns out, he hardly knows a thing.

    Alternatively, asexual “beta” Akutagawa finds out that he’s actually an omega and has to figure out how to deal with his first ever heat (a series of unfortunate events that ends with Aku getting railed within an inch of his life).

    Summary

    Now that he was paying attention, Reki realized that he’d been selfish his whole life. He prayed—late at night, after everyone else had gone to bed—that it wasn’t too late to fix things.

    Summary

    Reki has been hiding something for months. His excuses are laughable sometimes but they work well enough. Miya questions Reki's weird behavior but he doesn't figure out the reason and Langa is too oblivious to realize Reki's massive crush on him, let alone notice the true scope of Reki's arm injury.

    No one knows just how bad Reki’s chronic pain is,
    until Langa checks on him.
