    Summary

    It started with the clocks. They stopped working. They froze. Dazai knows time still exists. He knows. But somehow, he's ended up a prisoner of the Russian whose hands bring death to all but the one man who craves it, and he can't figure out how he got there.

    Fyodor says it's because they're in his reality; Dazai doesn't believe it. But the longer Fyodor tortures him, the more he forgets who he was and becomes who he must be: a sinner, subject to the punishment Fyodor brings.

    ...And just when he starts to give in, something strange happens.

    Or, Dazai is Fyodor's sick hobby until Fyodor accidentally feels something, too.

    Read at your own risk. Includes extreme and graphic depictions of trauma, violence, rape, and psychological abuse. (But with a satisfying ending, I promise)

    Summary

    Dazai is the last to arrive. Fashionably late, as per usual.
    The sight of her forces Sigma’s heart into her throat. It’s not her outfit, though that’s stunning today - a white blouse, brown wide-legged trousers and her signature bolo tie. It’s her grin as she hobbles over.
    The mere sight of her grin makes a matching one spread over Sigma’s face as they wave shyly at her.
    Dazai waves back, pausing to lean on her cane and using her entire arm to return the gesture.
    The spark she possesses is impossibly bright, yet Sigma finds they would happily gaze into it until they go blind.

    The Agency has a picnic together at Sigma's suggestion. It's lovely, of course, but Sigma really just wants an excuse to see Dazai outside of work.

    Or: Sigzai go on a picnic date! Oh, and the rest of the Agency is there, too.

    Summary

    “Darling?”
    Sigma’s eyes narrow instantly. Osamu only calls them that when he wants something.
    “Yes, dear?” they reply, not allowing any of their suspicion to creep into their voice.
    “I may or may not have left my earrings in there,” Osamu replies slowly, sheepishly. “They’re on top of the dresser. The fake emerald ones. Can you get them for me?”
    Sigma uncrosses their legs and rises from the floor, grabbing the earrings and walking over to the door.
    Osamu has opened it a crack, and is holding their palm through the gap expectantly. Their nails are painted in a shade of green so dark it appears black in the fading light.
    Sigma drops the earrings into his palm, shivering slightly as their fingertips brush against his. It feels as if lightning zaps between their hands, electrifying the entire room in a single second.

    Sigma and Dazai, getting ready for date night.

    Summary

    “I know a card trick,” they blurt. They do not know any card tricks.
    “Ooh!” Kenji exclaims. “Show us!”
    “I, uh, don’t have any cards,” Sigma replies. Crisis averted, they think to themself. Everyone will forget about it, and no one will know they lied in a moment of desperation.
    But then Kenji deflates. The spark leaves his eyes and he pouts from the disappointment.
    Sigma panics.
    “I can bring some in tomorrow though!” they add with an entirely forced laugh, desperately trying to keep him happy. To their immense relief, it works; Kenji smiles brighter than the sun, and Sigma winces internally.

    Sigma is the newest member of the Armed Detective Agency, and they're determined to be liked. Whether it be changing their appearance, or spending their first paycheck on ingredients to bake cookies for the others, they think they've got all their bases covered. The idea that the Agency could love them anyway is an impossibility - right?
