Hi! I Wanted To Ask If The Implied/sexual Assault Tag For The Tides Pull Us Closer Was For The Early

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.

Hi honey! Are you doing okay? You’ve been very quiet the past couple weeks! I hope you’re fine! xx

Hi! So sorry I’ve been away for a while…

Everything just came at me again (and then it just didn’t stop lol) so I couldn’t be as active on here. I’m hoping to be back soon tho!

Also, sorry for being so behind on my inbox. I appreciate all the asks and I promise I’ll get back to you guys!

<3

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

Do you have any reference photos of how you imagine Atsushi and Dazai's tattoos to look like?

can't wait for the next update!! :)

Ooooh I sure do! The story has only briefly touched on the tattoos up to this point and I have a scene planned that will go into further detail of them but since that's not in the near future I'll give you guys the scoop lol

(Spoiler warning, just in case)

A flower none other than the red spider lily :D

And Dazai and Atsushi aren't the only ones that have one! They all have different variations depending on their tastes.

Dazai has the "messiest" looking one, something like the picture on the left. Atsushi's looks like the one on the right.

Hey honeybumi!!

I hope the AO3 curse will fade away asap (jokes aside I really do wish you all the best and I'm manifesting that you will feel better)

Hopefully you had wonderful holidays!!

Happy new year too!! 🌠🎇

Can't wait for the new chapter, no matter when it comes out i WILL be there for it, just finished re-reading the fic for the 4th time. I love you for writing this<3

Thank you :)

Hi! I’m SO sorry I missed this but tysm!! This made me so happy :)

I’m also so, so sorry this hiatus is dragging out this long… but the wait is almost over!! The update is over 10k so I’m finding myself rewriting and editing things I wrote weeks ago (hence why the word count just keeps growing lol) and it feels like I’m stuck in a never ending cycle but it’s coming together bit by bit.

Ohhhhh political science? That’s so cool! I actually thought you were a literature major lol. To be honest, I was planning to choose it too, but after seeing my sister struggle with it—she’s majoring in it as well—I changed my mind. I was like, Nah bro, I’m not doing that ദ്ദി(ㅠ﹏ㅠ) But she’s really passionate about it, so at least that’s good for her. It is a really interesting major though.

Also, I hope you don’t overwork yourself—make sure to take breaks. Take care!

Literature was my first option! But after I discovered this field, I decided to go down this path instead.

Sending positive vibes to your sister because I know the struggle lol

I'm done for now though! I'll be sure to make the best of this break :D

Take care too <3!

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

Are Dazai and Chuuya the same age? If I understand correctly Chuuya is 18 (he said that when he was 13 he got that scar in chapter 10 and that it had been 5 years since then so 13 + 5 = 18). It was said in the first chapter that Dazai couldn't be older than he is, so the logical conclusion would be that Dazai is 18 as well? Is it true?

Yes it is! They’re around the same age but Chuuya is slightly older (similar to canon). However, he’s closer to being 19 now and will probably reach that age by the time the story ends. I considered aging them up considering I added canonically younger characters but these ages made the most sense when I got to Chuuya’s backstory and when I found out that pirates were usually in their early to mid 20s. Poe, Ranpo, and Yosano are older than skk by two or three years and Aku and Atsu are younger by one.
