Summary
And this too, is part of Tokyo. This city. This luminous whirlpool of static energy that draws all dreamers to its enigmatic core. Tokyo, a mediated ghost that haunted all who Wished to be there, to be here….
Perhaps then, it can be said that Sumeragi Subaru did finally achieve his dream of being a zookeeper. After all, one needs a zookeeper for all the animals within Tokyo’s urban jungle.
And because the zookeeper Sumeragi Subaru exists, so does his veterinary counterpart, Sakurazuka Seishirou. They are not so different, except the duties of a veterinarian also include putting the animals down.
An interlude: a pause between acts of a play.
Takes place after the end TB and before the start of X.Seishirou and Subaru navigate Tokyo in the years between winter 1997 - start 1999.
Continues from Annex: Snow-Catcher but can be read stand-alone.
Originally started for kinktober 2024. Kink prompts/content warnings/triggers are added above each individual chapter to prevent clutter.

Summary
Seishirou has never thought about the meaning of his life. He exists for his duty, and nothing else. Even his name, Sakurazuka, is tied to his occupation, Sakurazukamori. A Sakurazukamori is created and bred to kill. He is fated to die, fated to be replaced, fated to be forgotten. From the moment Seishirou was conceived in his mother’s womb, his soul was already fated to be consumed, buried together with his victims, underneath the very cherry blossoms that give him power.
It doesn’t bother him, this cumbersome fate, and he’s never questioned it. It seems only right and fitting that a Sakurazukamori disappears back to the barrow, just as his mother and all his predecessors did. As for his soul, Seishirou isn’t attached to it either— he simply exists. He thinks of himself as a breathing body, experiencing a life he doesn’t have a choice in, and is indifferent to the rest.
One night in Tokyo, one final soliloquy.
Sakurazuka Seishirou ruminates their past and future the night before Rainbow Bridge. [X-16]Takes place after Annex: Suzuran but can be read stand-alone.

Summary
Looking good in front of a camera was one thing, but looking happy— well, that took skill. David Matthews was obviously a professional diplomat. Ergo, like recognized like, birds of a feather and all, or so to say, Seishirou knew the power of a well-practiced smile.
Pity about that smile. Seishirou walked past the cordoned-off tape, careful not to disturb the scene. David Matthews was definitely not smiling now.
In fact, it was hard to tell where his face was. David Matthews had been so brutally murdered, that the cleaning maid who had found his body in the morning screamed herself silly and nearly fainted from her own hysterics. Seishirou had no such qualms. Blood, corpses, bodies, none of it bothered him. Still, he was rather glad that he had worn his second-best pair of leather shoes.
July 1999, set after X-12/Ikebukuro. Seishirou and Subaru are tasked to investigate the murder of an American diplomat.
Takes place after Tokyo Interludes but can be read stand-alone.

Summary
Half expecting to see him at his desk, Regrator walks into Zandik’s office and sits in the opposite chair, trying to stave off his disappointment in the dark. The room is dead silent, the desk empty, the chalkboards clean and blank. Regrator is left with nothing but the acrid, bitter aftertaste of being left behind. Lifetimes and lifetimes spliced together, moments of vulnerability and victories, camaraderie, bickering, and countless more of their strange, steadfast companionship. Dottore was his constant for better or for worse. Feofan can hardly remember a life without him. And as much as this was planned, knowing something is imminent is quite different than stepping through the threshold.
Pantalone returns home in the wake of Irminsul's burning.
