    Summary

    There is a Chuuya-shaped hole in Yokohama.

    The back alleys are quieter, though not peacefully so—just rats and wind, where there used to be shouting and fighting, and fist-shaped markings on the wall because gravity’s wielder was offended. The highways run a little smoother without a motorcycle weaving through them at an ungodly hour, though the city was better for it.

    It’s the kind of absence that takes time to register—the way you don’t notice a sound is gone until the silence has already stretched for too long.

    News of Chuuya's absence was largely ignored at first, until it started to feel like a bullet hole in the city. It was supposed to be the Port Mafia's problem but it's tale as old as time, really: where Chuuya goes, Dazai follows.

    Or: Chuuya goes missing after a mission in Sweden. The Port Mafia and Special Division say he's dead. Dazai thinks they're all full of shit.

    Summary

    "Soukoku... doesn't work... if one half is missing."
    "...it's cold out here, Osamu."

    In a world where Dazai Osamu rules the Port Mafia from a pitch-black tower, Nakahara Chuuya is merely his strongest, most resentful weapon. Four years of absolute obedience, unspoken betrayals, and suffocating silence have left them as nothing more than a ruthless Boss and his chained subordinate.

    Dazai has spent years orchestrating a flawless, bloody master plan to keep a certain someone alive, relying on the fact that Chuuya hates him enough to survive the fallout. But when Dazai sends his Executive directly into the jaws of the White Dragon with strict orders not to use his ability, the board flips. Dazai is about to learn exactly what happens when you push a god to the brink, and Chuuya is about to prove that he would rather bleed out than disobey a direct order.

    Or: The Beast AU where Chuuya gets trapped in the Draconian Room, and Dazai’s perfectly calculated universe violently falls apart over a single phone call.

    Summary

    He flexed his mind. > Nothing happened.
    His ability was gone. For the Tainted Sorrow was gone. The god had vacated the premises, leaving an empty, fragile shell behind.

    At twenty-two, Nakahara Chuuya wakes up to find that the god of destruction has quietly vanished from his veins. Left entirely, beautifully mundane, he seizes this unexpected mercy to do the unthinkable: he hands Ougai Mori his executive badge, packs a single bag, and buys a one-way ticket to France.

    He just wants a quiet life. He wants to drink good wine, write terrible poetry, and learn how to be a normal, fragile human being.

    But the ghosts of Yokohama—and a certain bandaged detective who was the first to notice the missing gravity—aren't going to let him stay hidden forever.

    (Or: Chuuya loses his ability, moves to Paris for a quiet life, and inevitably collides with his past just in time for his twenty-third birthday.)

    Summary

    Who knew more about wasted potential than Megumi Fushiguro?

    He let fear hold him back, let tragedy define him, let the strongest sorcerer in history steal his body and destroy everything he loved.

    Now he's awake in the past with all his memories intact. A second chance he never asked for, but one he'll use. This time, he won't hesitate. He'll train harder. Fight smarter. Become the sorcerer he was always meant to be.

    But changing the future isn't simple. And someone else may be playing the same game.
