Summary
Chuuya had been there, every pulsing moment of tension, every gravity-defying rescue; all of it had been worth it—until it wasn’t.
He lay still, the chill of reality leaving his heart feeling hollow. His powers, once the cornerstone of his identity, now felt like a cruel joke, lingering like an echo in an empty chamber. What was life if he couldn’t protect those still fighting?
What was left for him?
Or: Suffering from career-ending internal injuries after dealing with Lovecraft, Chuuya has to carefully navigate around his life while limiting the use of his Ability. Except, when the Dragon’s Head Conflict arises again, Chuuya is forced to make the choice between choosing either himself or his beloved city that he calls home.

Summary
For my Soukoku, Dazai and Chuuya have a healthy relationship. When they first met, they got off on the wrong foot, and while they became attracted to each other very quickly, neither even allowed themselves to realize it, as their subconscious was trying to protect them from rejection and they disguised their feelings as antipathy. Once they reunited in the Port Mafia's prison, they recognized their long-suppressed feelings, and so they no longer had a reason to fight (in their personal lives).
So if you're into the kind of Soukoku where they have a very unhealthy, destructive relationship - the whole I hate you but I want you - you will NOT find it here.
This series is basically slice-of-life. It begins in the Port Mafia's prison, and because that goes differently, I diverge from canon fairly quickly afterward. Think of it as the butterfly effect. Changing Dazai & Chuuya's dynamic ends up affecting broader events to create an alternate timeline. So most things from chronologically subsequent arcs won't occur in this divergence.

Summary
"Oh Chuuya~" He dragged out his name as he peeked in and stepped into the office. His eyes immediately fell on the smashed pieces of the vase. His gaze shifted to the ginger mafioso who had his head buried in his hands.
"Chuuya?"
"It broke on it's own." Chuuya interrupted, his voice sounded rougher than usual.
Dazai eyed the vase which, very clearly, did not break on its own. He decided to not push the matter. Something about Chuuya's tensed posture told him that he perhaps shouldn't push his buttons today.
He pursed his lips. Chuuya's tensed, slumped down posture was something he wasn't used to. Neither was he used to not being insulted and shouted at upon entering his office. He felt uneasiness grow in his stomach but he pushed it down.
He had more important things to focus on.

Summary
Chuuya always knew he would die young. He knew this fact since he was king of the sheep, and it was only made all the more true once he joined the mafia. Still, he clung to life like a leech and managed to make it all the way into his 20s before it was confirmed.
Nakahara Chuuya would die in a month's time.
In that time, he prepares those around him for a world without him. If he were to truly die, he needed to fill in the holes that would be left once he passed. Ane-san, Akutagawa, and especially those in the Detective Agency. After all, his 7 years of knowledge regarding Dazai had to go somewhere, right?
When asked about one Dazai Osamu, most would shiver and mutter the lines of "that man seems to know everything". It's a false statement, of course, since that fact goes to his coworker, Ranpo. No, it's not that Dazai knows everything, it's just that he plans for everything. Most things are fickle, after all, and can't be expected to remain the same.
The only exception is Chuuya. The sky is blue, grass green, and Chuuya will always be there. It's the way the world works.
Except for when it isn't, and Dazai's world suddenly stops spinning on its axis.
