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
your writing is so good!!! every time i reread your fic im like damn this person is a god how did they do this
Omg?? Thank you!! I often wonder the same thing… though if you were to see me write it would just be 30% of the time spent staring blankly at my screen, 40% playing out the scene in my head and then immediately forgetting it, 20% filled with random writing bursts, and 10% spent pulling on my hair and wondering why in one hour I’ve only written three paragraphs…then deleting said paragraphs.
But I enjoy every second of it :)
Ahhh help I just noticed you have the "angst with a happy ending" tag on your story. How angsty are we talking about? Should I prepare myself ?
You're amazing btw
See my first instinct was to answer this with a "don't worry, it won't be too bad!" response but then I started thinking about it and well...
Dazai's backstory, once it's fully fleshed out, will definitely fit that category and then there's going to be some events later on that hmm...
I'm a sucker for happy endings though! No matter what, there will be hope at the end of the tunnel so just remember that <3

If you ever want to talk: My tumblr ask is always open.
love the pirate aesthetic that's just "belts in every conceivable place where a belt shouldn't be"
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
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.
Hi honey! (Can we call you honey lol) do you have a playlist for your pirate fic? I just binged in one go recently and I’m getting withdrawals already 😅 FANTASTIC work, btw
Hi! That’s so sweet, I don’t mind the nickname at all <3
Sadly, I don’t :( though I love the idea of having one!
But if the fic did have a playlist, this song would be included:
Feel free to send any suggestions!
the absolute struggle of knowing the exact plot of your fic, what the characters facial expressions will look like, what sounds will happen, the emotions, the lighting, everything….
except it’s all playing as a movie in your head and you can’t articulate any of 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!!
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.
