    Summary

    "- and Mr. Grace really took most of the fall for me and honestly I feel kinda bad because he's already in trouble with Principal Morita for that thing he said to the Brooklyn Visions' coach at the last Academic Decathlon and-"

    Peter's voice whittles down to a high pitched whistle, forgetting that he needs to breathe to continue creating more sound.

    After a few more agonizing seconds during which Peter weighs the possibilities that he just gave his mentor and the savior of the world a heart attack, Mr. Stark looks up at him, eyes suddenly wide.

    A beat passes.

    "What's your teacher's name again?"

    AKA, Ryland Grace and Tony Stark hooked up in college. This is fine, until 20 years later, Peter Parker gets involved. It's all downhill from there.

    Summary

    Dazai thought about wings the way he thought about stairs. Just a way to go somewhere else. Birds had two, and that seemed important, like having two hands. He tried to imagine them on his own back—soft, grey, folded tight so nobody could see—and the picture felt almost right for one second.

    But then he pictured one wing missing. Or bleeding. Or torn. Gone, like it had been taken away from him when he wasn’t looking.

    Two was for flying. One was for falling. Dazai didn’t know why he felt like a one-wing thing, but he did. He looked at the roof edge and thought, very quietly, Maybe I’m supposed to fall. Maybe falling will fix it.

    or: Dazai has been reaching for the exit since he was five. Ten attempts, years apart—a life lived with one wing in the grave—stitched together by the same quiet grief.

    Summary

    Chuuya was tired.

    It wasn't the total collapse that came after using Corruption. This was different. This was a dull, aching fatigue that settled into his shoulders and refused to leave.

    Or: After escaping from Poe's book, Chuuya questions his humanity not for the first time. He gives in and calls Dazai.

    Summary

    “Alright,” Chuuya muttered. “Bath time. Up. Don’t deadweight me on purpose. I’m not carrying your scrawny ass around like a princess.”

    “That sounds nice,” Dazai mumbled into Chuuya’s hair.

    Chuuya nearly dropped him. “Stop—saying shit like that.” His voice cracked just enough to piss him off. “Get in the damn tub.”

    or: bleeding, dissociated, and half-conscious—they stumble into intimacy the only way they know how: through blood, bathwater, quiet kisses, and chuuya holding dazai together when he’s too far gone to ask for it, and too exhausted to pretend he doesn’t want it.

    Summary

    They had rules. Not spoken ones—spoken rules were too easy to weaponize. Their rules lived in habits.

    One of those habits was: Chuuya didn’t assume. Not about touch. Not about sex. Not about affection.

    Dazai was… complicated. He wasn’t someone who wanted in a simple way. Want, for him, was a thing that came with hooks and history and a thousand reasons to flinch. Sometimes he did want. Sometimes he wanted with an intensity that made Chuuya’s hands shake, because it wasn’t casual. It wasn’t a distraction. It was Dazai letting him in.

    And sometimes Dazai didn’t want anything at all, and the difference was subtle—so subtle that in the beginning Chuuya had missed it and hated himself for it afterward.

    or: Chuuya learns Dazai in the ways that matter—when to pull, when to hold, when to let him drift—and Dazai, in return, keeps choosing him. Some nights it’s heat, some nights it’s just staying. Either way, it’s still them.
