Is There A Chunk Of Writing You’re Extremely Proud Of?? Like A Paragraph, Sentence, Etc. That You Wrote

honeybumi: dead or alive?

Sometimes even I don’t know the answer…

But as I’m writing this I can safely say I’m alive!!

I think about ur fic so much I literally dreamt about it

Ahh that's so cool!! I'm flattered! And lowkey jealous too lol I wish these two would haunt my dreams

Hello! I sent this ask before but I’m not sure you got it. Can you pinpoint in the fic when exactly Dazai started climbing into bed with Chuuya to sleep? Was it ever sneakily alluded to in the fic? If not, can you tell us? Thanks!!

Hi! Sorry I took a while to get back to you

I had a section of Dazai's pov that dove into that topic in one of my earlier drafts of chapter 14, so I wanted to reference it to answer your ask...but because I went through several drafts (it was actually the part of the chapter that took the longest to write), I couldn't find it for the life of me 😔

And then I did (stashed in a completely different writing software of all places!) but then I couldn't decide if I should just fully flesh out that deleted scene or just vaguely reference it later down the line.

But to answer your question: it happens the night Chuuya falls asleep on the deck at the end of chapter 5!

Since the fic is mainly through Chuuya's pov, he doesn't suspect a thing so there's no hints he picks up on during the timeskip that happens after. The only instance we can see that something is up is when Chuuya asks Dazai in chapter 8 where he's been sleeping: Dazai avoids answering because by that point he's been sleeping in the same bed as Chuuya and he doesn't want to admit to it.

Hiiiiii i hope u r doing well ummm i've got some questions if its not a bother soooooooo , is there a chapter or a scene ahead in the story that you r nervous about ( i dont know if someone has asked this question before ) and are we geetting any kousano in the future chapters ♡(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)♡

Hi!! Of course it's not a bother!

There are a few scenes I'm nervous about and one of them pertains to Dazai's backstory. Lately I've been outlining how it's going to be weaved into the story and as I was going through my notes it suddenly hit me that I've never written anything as tragic before, at least not to that degree. So I'm nervous about how the finished product will look like and the reaction.

And then there's the second thing, which is that there will eventually be content (as promised in the tags) that will cause the fic to have a change in content rating and that's definitely something I've never written before.

However, despite being nervous, I'm also looking forward to the challenge!

As for the kousano content, I'm sorry to say that there will only be breadcrumbs at best. I did toy with the idea of making it a tagged ship in the beginning, but once I planned out the story, it didn’t end up fitting the narrative.

Do you, by any chance, have a pinterest board for the story? ♡´･ᴗ･`♡

Hi! I started working on one when I saw this in my inbox :D

There were only a few things I was able to pin, but I will continue to add more as the story progresses!
