Good Luck For Your Last Exam! And Happy Belated Birthday!!

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.

like falling asleep

Hi! I wanted to ask if the implied/sexual assault tag for the tides pull us closer was for the early scenes in chapter 1 when the prison commander was blackmailing Chuuya, or if there’s more that will be covered later in the fic?

Hi!! So, later on, they will travel to...sketchy places and there might be some elements of that in there. However, I haven't planned out those parts in much detail yet, so I can't say for sure, just that there's a possibility.

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

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

the update was amazing!!!!!! your writing is genuinely so amazing,,, dazais slow realization is so fun to read about. i know you said you struggled with the chuuya laughing scene but it was really well written!!

are there any moments/chapters you’re really looking forward to writing next??

Thank you!! It's a short scene but I'm glad my work paid off!

As for your question...YES!! Where do I even begin?? There's this scene that's coming up that's been on my doc ever since I began planning out the story and I've been dying to get to!! Well, I say "coming up" but we wont get to it for a few more chapters. It's a skk scene and I'm excited because we get a change in scenery and it's important for their development but ahh I can't give too much away...

"you should be at the club" I should be working on my fanfic

Ok so after reading ur fic for the 27th time i've decided that dazai likes to hold chuuya's wrist .............. (it'll shift to hand AMEN.) NO ONE CAN CHANGE MY DELUSIONAL MIND GO AWAY!!!!!

Aaahh do you guys really revisit the fic this often?? I'm so flattered!!

Lol you bet it will!! It might take some time for it to happen but it WILL shift to hand holding!!!

your health family and work life come after your first priority which should always be 2 fictional characters fucking each other

!! Since Evanescence is on the cards now, I’m going to definitely recommend “Lithium” by her from forever and a half ago!!!! 😄 it’s so strange to me that Dazai as a PIRATE refuses to drink and so clearly looks down upon opium, so I’ve got a horrible sinking feeling that there’s a horrific substance abuse history in his past 💔 in some form or the other. Still can’t tell if it’s directly related to him, or has something to do with Oda… aahhh I’m so excited to find out!! 💜

Ah we'll just have to wait and see...but you're right to think there's a linkage there.
