everything we left behind, to stand here in another life. by 3rdgymbros - 1.9k, Aya & Oda, Beast AU

“You’re probably going to aim for the head. A nice, clean shot. That’s what you want, isn’t it?” Aya says quietly. The words are familiar and distorted all at once, like she’s taking his words and delivering them wrong. “You’re not going to get a second chance. Might as well go out with a bang. Take out the Port Mafia’s boss while you’re at it.”

albatross around your neck by swanfrost - 1.2k, Dazai Character Study, Canonical Character Death

how can you be kind, dazai wonders, how can you be kind in a world made to destroy kindness?

odasaku takes a long, thoughtful sip of his whiskey. he doesn’t question why dazai is musing about such things out of the blue, doesn’t try to take apart the careful blankness on dazai’s face. it’s fitted together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, crafted to perfection for the outside world.

still, odasaku pauses before answering. “that’s up to you,” is what he settles on. “after all, the world is what you make of it.”

dazai, atsushi, and parallels of kindness

FMA

o sleep (the certain knot of peace) by chellywrites - 1.4k, Body Horror, Canonical Character Death

Sometimes, Ed wakes up at night and he can almost pretend there’s no cylinders of unyielding steel in the milk white of his bones and that if he opens the window and peers out he’ll see home as it was, all those years ago, with the laundry swaying in the breeze and the saffron tinted glasses of innocence.

Stress Fractures by bearonthecouch - 1.1k, Riza & Roy, Post-Ishval War

Riza wants to point out that she’s not the one waking up screaming, drinking enough to dull the sharp edges of terror and guilt every night. Ishval hit Roy so much worse than it hit her. Didn’t it?
