    Summary

    “Bruce, you would report parents like those to the police. And by the time I was with the Titans, I would too. And still, Bruce, still, I took it when you hurt me because—because I don’t know. Because maybe, somewhere along the way, I started pretending you weren’t my father.”

    "Hurt you," Jason echoes, and now his voice isn't raspy because he's pretending to be Batman. Bruce hurt Dick. The first son, the favourite, the one most like him.

    Bruce hurt him?

    "Do you still not understand what you did? What you keep doing? ‘It is what it looks like.’ Funny how I only realised it after my death, after you beat me up and sent me away from my family.”

    Dick stands up, all stiff movements. The light from outside hits him directly, and Jason realises he’s in a nightmare.

    Jason was—he was dreaming. This—this man, hunched and shaking and bleeding—cannot be Dick. His brother’s face could never be dripping with blood from his father’s fists.

    “Look. You’ve made me a victim,” Dick tells him.

    OR

    Dick finally realises Batman is an abusive piece of shit, and so do his brothers. What follows is never that simple.

    Summary

    The dead didn't stay buried. At least, not in Yokohama, the Port Mafia, and certainly not in Nakahara Chuuya's mind.

    __________________
    A one-shot Au where Chuuya Nakahara leaves the Port Mafia at 16 years old, following Verlaine and the flags' death, and Osamu Dazai never truly forgives him for it. Especially when they meet again at 21 years old on opposing sides.

    Summary

    “He’ll fake being sick… it’s his specialty.”

    Till’s words echoed in his ears. Oh… so that’s what Till thought? He pressed his lips together and held his breath, still listening through the line. What followed only finished shattering his placebo-like heart.

    “Luka knows which buttons to push,” Ivan added, his voice, usually his refuge, now sounding like a sentence. “He’ll play the victim until we forget why we were angry in the first place.”

    He hung up. I’d rather disappear into this silence than be the cause of his contempt, even though it seems I already am.

    Summary

    Hyuna doesn’t take thralls the way many vampires do, Luka has learned, over his months with her; she doesn’t care whether her prey is willing or unwilling, only that they are free. He’s discomfiting, then, for her—his habitual, half-forgotten willingness.

    Summary

    It is not a curse, though many would say it behaves as one. A curse is something malicious, something ugly. Kaveh chose this. He did it with the recklessness and lack of foresight of a child--but he chose this. It is not a curse.

    It is a blessing. He asked for this.

    Kaveh loves and he suffers for it, more physically than one might expect.
