   Summary

   “Chuuya?”

   “Hm.”

   “I promise to stay by your side for the rest of your life.” It’s a promise he knows he can keep.

   Dazai cannot die. He lives on as the world changes around him, finding Chuuya in every lifetime and learning all the little things that make Chuuya, Chuuya through all the different people Chuuya is.

   Bookmarker's Notes

   This fic ripped out my heart and then ran over it with a train but in the best way possible (tears were shed, and this is coming from a person who NEVER cries from media)
