    Summary

    Dex has been an active observer in a lot of rebellions. He knows all about ghosts. He’s acquired a lot of them in his time.

    The galaxy hasn’t been at peace for a long time, now. An entire generation and a half has been raised with the Clone Wars and the Galactic Empire.

    But even with the shadows of the past in every booth, in the familiar orders flowing into the kitchen, in the beleaguered faces that he leads to the back room, past the bathroom and accessible only through the walk-in freezer, he is unprepared for this specter.

    She has dark hair and eyes and the air around her vibrates with a righteous stubbornness and an intensity he’d only ever seen in a handful of Jedi…and Padmé Amidala. He nearly calls her name before he remembers reality (she’s dead, he’d watched her funeral seventeen years ago along with three-quarters of the galaxy’s population, dead with her babe unborn) and stills his tongue before he can greet her shade.

    *****

    A young senator and aspiring Rebel agent, Leia Organa, walks into a diner that also serves as a safe house. When she flees there while injured, Dex tells her a story of two old friends long gone.

    Summary

    It’s not “I love you in every universe” between them, nor is it “I hate you in every universe except for one”. It shouldn’t hurt this much, but—

    “I love you in every universe except for one.

    This isn’t how this was supposed to be between them.

    OR: The Books does *magic* and Dazai finds himself thrown into another Yokohama, where he needs to figure out… well, everything.

    Summary

    "You think this is some kind of joke?" Chuuya spat. The barrel pressed up beneath Dazai’s chin, forcing his head back like he was something pathetic—something to be studied. Or executed. The jury was still out. “Say it. Say what this is. You owe me that much.”

    “You wouldn’t believe me." Dazai laughed—frayed at the edges, like silk torn on wire. "And you’d hate me anyway.”

    “I already do.”

    Fleeing the Port Mafia was never going to be clean—it was a manhunt, knives in the dark, blood in the water. Dazai knew the price of betrayal, and he was prepared to pay it. Almost.

    What he wasn’t prepared for was facing Chuuya again.
    Not like this.
    Not with a gun between them, a loaded silence, and too many things left unsaid.

    Caught between a past too bloody to forget and a future built on half-truths, the two are forced to confront the fallout of everything they never said—and in the wreckage, something fragile that refuses to die.

    They’re left treading the line between defection and duty, betrayal and mercy, and the dangerous weight of what it means to be chosen.

    Summary

    In·ef·fa·ble
    /inˈefəb(ə)l/
    adjective
    1.
    too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words:
    Ineffable Partners

    Read in order or it probably won't make much sense!

    AU: Dazai leaves the Port Mafia and takes Chuuya with him. Very smutty, mild Mori bashing (doesn't occur in all of my works but was convenient for this series sorry lmao).

    Recommended for 18+ but you do you since you've been warned. Contains mentions of suicide, depression, anxiety, past child abuse, past sexual abuse, sexual trauma, manipulation, suicide attempts, self harm, eating disorders, trauma, PTSD, suicidal ideation, and other dark themes (not always consistently prevalent). Please be safe and mindful of yourself! None of the warnings really occur between SKK.

    Or, how Ben Kenobi’s boldfaced lie prevarication saved the Galaxy, but not in the way he thought it would.
