🎶🏴‍☠️- Afterlife By Evanescence, Dazai Pov!

checking up !!! how are you doing??

Hi again!! To be completely honest.. not so great but I hope to feel better soon! Regarding the fic, the update is in its editing stage but I want to be in the right headspace to finish it.

Do you know around when the next update will be out?

Sooo I was planning to have it out by the end of this week (!!) but then I got ambushed by exams and reports that have sadly taken my free time away for the millionth time. I should have some breathing room after this week (let’s commence a prayer circle 🕯️) so maybe sometime next week? I’m aiming for a weekend update at least (not this weekend though 😔).

Sorry, I promise I’m trying to get my shit together. If anything, I might cut the chapter in half (since it’s a loooong one) and update that first!

Heyhey!!

Would you, theoretically, be okay with someone pointing out some small grammar mistakes in your fic? I've noticed a few super minor ones, like an extra word here and there. Would it bother you if someone, say, mentioned it in a comment and then deleted the comment afterward? Totally understandable if it's not!! Sorry if my wording is weird but i hope u got the point!! :)

All the best to you and can't wait for the next update!🤍

Hi! I wouldn’t mind it :D!

I don’t have a beta and whenever I finish a chapter I get so eager to publish it that I definitely overlook mistakes…

Needless to say, I’m not the best at proofreading lol. I edit a few things here and there whenever I need to reference past scenes/dialogue but other than that I rarely read my published chapters since it’s all in my notes.

(All the best to you too <3 and sorry I took so long to get back to you ;-;)

love the pirate aesthetic that's just "belts in every conceivable place where a belt shouldn't be"

Omg pls do fully flesh out the deleted scene! Or you could perhaps just post a drabble about it on tumblr, if you can’t find a place for it in the main fic. Just a thought! Lmao so Dazai was crawling into bed with Chuuya even during the middle of their Cold War after chapter 10? Awwwwkward!!! Or hmm in chapter 11, when they finally talk again Chuuya notes that Dazai looked more sleep deprived than usual. Maybe he HADN’T been sharing his bed then, and at Chuuya’s insistence that he get some sleep before their next big mission, he did that again and that’s why he looked better rested… aww Dazai sleeps better with Chuuya 💕 that’s really cute

I will!! I've been thinking about writing some extras once the main story concludes, which will cover side stories that didn't fit into the main storyline or that happen after. So far I have one that I know I want to write and if I can't fit the deleted scene, I'll either post it here or as an extra as well.

Also, aside from everything else Dazai had going on in his head, the fight with Chuuya was definitely an added factor to his lack on sleep. His pride also kept him from giving in and joining Chuuya on the bed, and when he would, it would be for as little time as possible. So when they "made up," that night he received the most sleep he'd had in days (which probably still wasn't enough under any sane person's standards lol).

Subconsciously, I'm sure he does sleep better with Chuuya next to him, though good luck getting him to realize that

hello!!

if you don't mind me asking, then what are some moments between soukoku, that you 100% consider as their romantic development? There are quite many but I'm pretty certain some of them are just me reading too much into them. So what are some that you as the author definitely consider as such?

Also thank you for that wonderful update, can't wait for the next🩷

Hi!! Great question!

The moment that really kicked off their romantic development was the wound stitching scene because it was the first time each of them saw a different side of the other. Chuuya got to see a physically vulnerable Dazai that puts the wellbeing of his crew over his own. Dazai learned of Chuuya's caring nature, that despite Dazai's treatment of him, he wanted to help. Given that this is a slow burn, they're both oblivious to the impact this interaction had on them deep down, but it planted the seed of possibility.

There are many moments that come after this, so you're most likely not reading too much into them!

don't want to write I want to think very hard about my fic until it emerges from my head fully formed like athena

Not to be creepy but can I ask what country/time zone you’re in? Just so I can know when “tonight” is so I can plan my day around reading the new chapter as soon as it drops 😂

I’m in Pacific Standard Time!!

How are you doing? <3

Amazing now that I'm about to get a LOT more free time!! I was drowning in work these past few weeks, I'm so relieved that's over now

I'll be more active on here!! And ao3 of course :D
