Summary
The familiar smell of hot June air fills his lungs. Dazai can smell flowers.
—
Happy birthday, Dazai Osamu! Yeah. I did it.
A fic where Dazai has way too much pain associated with his birthday and will do anything to avoid it.
Don’t worry, it has a happy ending! Seriously, PLEASE read the tags. I didn’t mean for this to get as heavy as it did, but the fic kinda wrote itself.

Summary
Minerva McGonagall is a straightforward woman.
She’s the transfiguration professor, the head of Gryffindor, and a damn good teacher.
Sirius Black is a mosaic.
He’s a million shards of glass pieced together with gold trimmings. He’s a piece of art, meant to always be seen and never be heard.
—
Or, a fic about Sirius and McGonagall that I had no right to make. This fic is for year one, but I might write more if it goes well. I do not have a beta unless my inner demons count.

Summary
He misses his brother and they share a room.
Kel brings him breakfast every morning and dinner every night. Half of it is touched and half of that is actually eaten.
“He’s just tired,”
“He’s just sad,”
“He’s just grieving,”
He’s just…
He’s just not Hero anymore.
And Kel doesn’t feel quite like Kel all the time either.
—
Just a fun little fic of Kel angst that nobody asked for. Set in the year after Mari’s death from Kel’s perspective.

Summary
Hunter is a sad, hollow thing.
As much as Hunter feared his uncle’s disappointment, he craved his approval more. The constant pressure to act better, do better, be better was a familiar weight on his shoulders. Once he got to the Human Realm, that weight changed. It was still heavy with terror at what might be the punishment for not completing said tasks, and still all-consuming in his broken brain, but it was confusing too. What was he meant to do? How was he meant to help?
He was being lazy.
Being lazy meant being useless.
Being useless meant being replaced.
Being replaced meant Uncle Belos would–
“Hunter, are you alright? You’re making that face again,”
—
Being in the Human Realm is an adjustment for Hunter. Dealing with that change while struggling to cope with the loss of his only parental figure who was emotionally and physically abusive to him his entire life? So much harder.

Spider Lilies Bloom Like Autumn in My Veins by CulpaStellarum

Summary
In winter, the colors are so numb and faded that Dazai feels a little too empty to bear. The weather of winter reminds him of blood against snow and tears against cheeks.
Spring is so fresh and new that Dazai feels that it’s a shame for something like him to exist for yet another beautiful new birth of life. Beyond that, the same overused, recycled colors in the air and on the trees makes him sick with envy and boredom. He’s bitter down to the bones.
The searing heat of summer reminds Dazai of birthdays nearing ominously, wisteria trees sweeping down, and hands, hands, hands. Summer makes him sweat and itch under the bandages. Summer makes him ache with old pains. Summer makes him burn with agony as the heat beats down against his second skin of paper wrappings.
Autumn is so much more. The colors are never bland or dull, they’re full of life like the first drag of a good cigarette, late nights at Bar Lupin, and people like Odasaku, Chuuya, and everyone at the Armed Detective Agency.
—
This is basically a fic about Dazai’s perspective of the world and his depressing thoughts. It contains graphic depictions of depression so please be careful.

Summary
The President cleared his throat. “Good morning, everyone. Yosano is starting a project that will be sponsored by the Agency. Please support her in whatever ways you can.”
The announcement seemed to grab the attention of everyone in the room, even Ranpo, who put down the chocolate crêpe he was enjoying. The detectives around him looked expectantly at Yosano while Dazai looked just over her right shoulder. She passed a stack of paper to Kenji, who took one and passed it along.
“It’s an initiative to spread awareness for sexual assault and harassment in Yokohama,” Yosano announced. The room somehow grew quieter than it already was. Yosano’s face was steeled, it showed no weakness, only confidence and conviction. Dazai both admired and envied her.

Summary
“Umm,” Atsushi says, “is it just me or is Dazai-san kind of....weird, sometimes?”
He side-eyes Dazai, still in the kitchen from when he’d abruptly stood from the table, wordlessly abandoned them all, dumped his champagne in the kitchen sink, set a kettle for tea, and is now....chopping vegetables. For soup. Atsushi’s not really over the way he’d answered Atsushi’s question, said it with the flattest, most this-should-be-obvious voice ever, then ignored him.
“Oh don't worry,” Kenji tells him, brightly, “Dazai-san told me it's just a city person thing!”
It isn’t reassuring.

Summary
“Dazai,” Ranpo interrupts. “You do the emergency surgery.”
He’d foolishly believed no one would make him do these things anymore—that he was free.or: Dazai is forced to operate on Poe, and unwanted memories arise.
