#Have the aforementioned problems

[jay72664]

You called me

TW: Use of alcohol.

Okay, maybe Dazai was a tiny bit jealous.

But he wasn’t like, that jealous.

In fact, he was more upset by the fact that he couldn’t go to sleep.

After all, he’d probably have to pick up his drunk ass husband any minute now.

He tries to focus on the TV.

Any minute now.

Yeah, he was impatient, he had run out of things to do and just wanted to cuddle, and maybe annoy, his Chibi husband.

But no, Chuuya wanted to go out drinking with friends because he needed free time.

He was probably just annoyed with him.

He was awfully clingy.

And tended to actively try to annoy him.

Not to mention he was way overly affectionate, even in public.

Wait, what if Chuuya met someone at the bar he was drinking at?

What if he loved them more than he loved Dazai?

Dazai’s phone rings, and he checks the number before putting it to his ear.

“Hello.” Dazai says to his husband through the phone.

“Heeey.” He mumbles, words slurred.

Dazai can’t help but chuckle.

“Are you drunk?”

“Mh-hm.” He hums, though it was quite groan like.

“I’m coming.” Dazai promises softly. “I love you.”

He already knew which bar Chuuya had gone to, because he had told him before he left.

So he got in the car and headed there.

When he got to the bar Chuuya was slumped over the counter sobbing, Tachihara was awkwardly patting his back.

Dazai almost laughed.

“Why’s he crying?” The brunette asks the mafioso.

“I’m uh, not sure.” He says awkwardly, not really knowing how to talk to the detective. 

“I’ll uh, leave him to you.” He flashes a tight smile and gets up to head out of the bar himself.

“Chuuya.” He taps his shoulder to get his attention.

“S-Samu? You’re back?” He slurs sitting up, though he nearly falls over, and slumps his head against Dazai’s chest.

“You called me, of course I came, silly.” He coos teasingly.

“You left me all alone.” He mumbles, there were still tears streaming down his cheeks.

“What are you talking about Chibi? you’re the one who...” He hesitates at the end realizes what the ginger was talking about, as he wiped away his tears with his thumb.

“Come one, let’s go.” He offers his short husband his back, who climbs on, his arms falling over his shoulders, as Dazai’s arms slip under his legs to keep him up.

“Where are we going?” Chuuya asks, hiccuping as he speaks.

“We’re going home.” The lanky man explains, stifling a laugh at his husband’s stupor.

“Oh.”

Dazai drives Chuuya home, the later nearly falling asleep on the way there, and so when they get home, Dazai just guided him to their bed, taking off his shoes, and socks, and his hat and coat, before tucking him into the sheets, and pressing a kiss to his forehead.

Unable to sleep himself however, Dazai goes and sits on the couch, replaying the interaction in his head.

You left me all alone.

He knew Chuuya forgave him for what happened.

He knew it.

Yet found himself doubting it.

He knew he couldn’t have stayed in the mafia.

Knew he wouldn’t be happy.

Doubted he would have married Chuuya.

Yet he stilled felt guilty whenever he thought of it.

Of Chuuya being betrayed yet again.

Of him being the one to doing it.

Of bringing him such pain.

He made Chuuya cry.

And he hated himself for it.

clone danny's accident in the clone^2 au

Im thinking about clone^2 danny's accident in this au. he doesn't have his halfa powers in this au. He has his scary eyes and the ghost sense and the ability to see ghosts - kinda takes up a psychopomp role with his ghost cases - and enough ectoplasm to trigger the ghost defenses in his parents' house. But he doesn't have his ghost powers or his ghost half. He's just very strongly liminal.

And im just mmmmm thinking about how that came to be. When I originally made the clone danny au back in the summer i couldn't think of how he had his accident without putting him inside the portal, and I couldn't put him inside the portal and have it turn on and then just say "oh! he doesn't have any powers. he got hit with the full concentrated power of the sun a dimension with just a scratch"

like - like i can't do it. i just can't. i need some plausibility in my aus or i hit road blocks and can't continue (see: my jason variant au and why that took so long to post). but i was at work today thinking about clone^2 au and it hit me like a lightning shot. I think said in the original clone danny post that maybe he got electrocuted by the on button on the outside of the portal. But i was never really satisfied with that answer - it felt too placeholder-y to me. too simple. Less plausible to me than I liked.

so, solution: he still gets shocked by the portal outside, but its from a wiring issue that he spots outside of the portal. My first thought is; the portal had a wire that was unplugged. His parents, essentially, forgot to plug it in. Or maybe in all of their excitement they accidentally unplugged it and didn't notice. It just sounds like the right amount of cartoonishly silly that the Fentons are known for. "We put a second "on" button in the inside portal" -> "we forgot to plug it in"

Danny notices it while he's showing Sam and Tucker around the lab and the two of them are checking out the portal. Something caught his eye from the corner and while Sam and Tucker were talking, he went over to investigate. If this were canon, this would be just before Sam tells him to put on the hazmat suit and go into the portal so she can get a photo (iirc). (So he's currently in reg clothes)

And im imagining it as slightly off to the side. Its two black cords - an extension cord to the outlet and then the cord to the portal. and danny crouches down over it, frowning. his eyes follow the cord to the outlet, and then the cord to the portal, and he picks both up.

'did they forget to plug it in?' he thinks, turning his head to look at the portal's entrance. and logically he knows he should probably put the cords down and tell his parents, let them handle it since they have the expertise for this stuff. But...

his eyes draw back to the plug. it's just a plug. it'd be fine if he plugged it in, wouldn't it? surely, it'd be fine. he thinks about it for a moment.

he plugs it in.

immediately, the energy that had been building up slowly through the wires of the portal - the latent ectoplasm in the room being funneled through whatever tech his parents used to make it - goes through the cord. Like a dam bursting. In a flash, the portal turns on with a worrying bang.

At the same time, Danny is hit with a near-lethal amount of electricity. While not as agonizing as being inside the portal, danny still mentally checks out with pain. and he blacks out. when he comes to, he's laying on his back, still in the lab, with sam and tucker kneeling over him. they're talking - probably yelling, with panicked looks on their faces.

He can't hear a thing they're saying, his ears are full of the overly rapid, irregular beating of his heart and the pounding of his blood. His chest hurts like he's having a heart attack, and he grasps at his shirt as his breathing comes in short, labored.

"Hospital" he wheezes out, and sam gets up and sprints out of the lab upstairs. everything else feels like a blur - his parents and jazz are by him - his parents completely ignoring their swirling, working portal, someone's calling 911, danny's being loaded onto a stretcher with an oxygen mask over his face.

danny gets discharged from the hospital a week later, and sick leave from school for another two. his parents refuse to allow him back into the lab, stating it was too dangerous, and their work comes to near grinding stop to watch over him. It's honestly kinda sweet, but the hovering is annoying him - stubborn, independent teenager that he is. When he gets back to school he's still relatively sat out for phy.ed - he's been getting random heart palpitations (which had been at its worst when he was still on sick leave) and what the doctors think is a strange case of arrhythmia. Although Danny insists that he's fine - he's breathing, alive. Nothing feels wrong with him.

Then one day in class, Tucker turns to him to say something - a joke -and yelps - "your eyes!"

Danny on instinct turns his head to the window, frowning. And in the faded reflection, his eyes are burning shade of green like that of the portal. He blinks, breathing in sharply, and they're back to the his old bright blue.

Unfortunately, they're in english class, and the entire room was staring at them. "Is there something wrong, Mr. Foley?" Mr. Lancer asks from the front. Tucker is still wide-eyed and in shock, and he looks quickly between Danny and Lancer.

"I- no, um- Danny's eyes- they- were, um..." He looks panicked, confused.

Danny steps in, and leans over to Tucker. "I think he just spooked himself, Mr. Lancer." He says, looking frontward with his brows furrowed. "Sorry, it won't happen again."

Mr. Lancer looks unconvinced, and suspicious, but he lets it lie. "Are you feeling alright then, Mr. Fenton? Do you need to see the nurse?" It wasn't a secret to the school or student body that he'd been to the hospital from a lab accident - and that it'd resulted in heart problems that he was recovering from.

Danny grins at him, and pounds his chest lightly, "I'm fit as a fiddle, Mr. Lancer. No heart attacks here." He jokes, and leans back into his seat. Mr. Lancer stares, eyes squinty, and then returns to the lesson.

It keeps happening. Danny's eyes turn green at the most random of times, and the three of them begin wittling down what was causing it. In general, Danny's eyes were turning green whenever he was engrossed with something, or when he got emotional - when he was laughing, angry, upset, anything. Sometimes it resulted in heart palpitations, sometimes it didn't.

his ears were hurting too, aching, like when they were cold. Danny wakes up one morning and spends twenty minutes in the bathroom turning his head left and right - his ears were beginning to point. Sam thought it was cool - Danny just thought it was concerning.

He was seeing things too - apparently. He struck up a conversation with someone on the street once - a strange looking man who looked terribly pale and wore old clothes. He looked delighted to be talking to Danny - and then Sam and Tucker walked up to him and asked who he was talking to.

("What do you mean? I'm talking to him.") ("Danny, there's no one there.") ("What?")

After multiple instances of this, they configure that the accident had given Danny some sort of ability to see ghosts.

("So you're meta now?") ("Mm... I don't know. That doesn't feel right.") ("Oh come on, that basically fits the name to a tee!") ("I know, but I just- it doesn't feel right to call myself meta.") ("If you don't like meta, why not just call yourself liminal? Since the portal is supposed to access the afterlife and it gave you powers to see ghosts.") ("Huh, good idea, Sam. Liminal it is, then.")

And as time goes on - and his parents begin to catch and experiment on ghosts - danny adjusts to these weird new abilities. It's not so bad, he supposes, its just some creepy eye magic and a ghost sense. He can live with that, and no one needed to know. He could go back to being normal - right. ...Wrong.

Do his parents really have to catch ghosts?

plus additional sketch that i made at like 3am last night because i needed to draw it down -- aha ignore the inconsistent drawing ability that i have. i'm more of a writer than i am an artist.

Sleep deprived thought but in light of the dragon this blog is named after having been dormant for months and will probably continue to be for some time what if we re-themed this blog around pixies since our current primary fronter is one

[undead-potatoes]

"Don't grocery shop while hungry" might be complete bullshit but "avoid cooking/preparing food when you're super hungry" is 100% true bc your judgement will be impaired and you will make 3 times the amount of food you're physically capable of eating in your hunger induced delirium
