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!
love the pirate aesthetic that's just "belts in every conceivable place where a belt shouldn't be"
like falling asleep
Shamelessly stealing from OPLA (but of course, One Piece is one of THE pirate stories out there) but a song for your playlist: My Sails are Set by Aurora. Probably Chuuya pov!
Yeess! I love her songs and was actually looking into them for the playlist yet somehow I overlooked this amazing one?? Thank you!
double black, a rare moment of peace
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.
When does summer break begin on your side of the world? 👀
Soon!! I’ll be completely done with exams on the 20th and I’m so, so, SO ready. I can’t wait to be back to my usual hobbies. I want to WRITE!!
mafia days, post-mission
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!
Just asking and I hope it's not rude (if it is just ignore it) but do you have any idea of how your posting schedule will look like now (as in will the next chapter be out in 1-2 months or 8)? Are you doing better?
All the best<33
Hi! I'm doing alright now, not 100%, but I'm definitely not going to be gone for that long again. Ideally I would like my schedule to be something like an update every 10-14 days, though it's hard to really set that in motion with everything I have going on. Once everything settles down around me, I'll work on being more consistent with the updates!
