A Ghost, and the Smile Junkie
She came into his dreams to hang out with him.
(Baccano!, Elmer & Monica, post-1710)
[ Read on AO3 ]
*
She came into his dreams to hang out with him. She’d sit down next to him in class and diligently take notes, and then she would talk to him during the lunch hour, or walk home with him. It was nice, even if Elmer couldn’t help but feel that it wasn’t quite right.
He voiced his concerns one evening as they passed the harbor.
“Do you go see Huey as well?”
She sent back a faint exasperation at his bluntness, but then chased it away with a roll of her eyes and a rueful smile that faded a moment later. “He won’t let me in.”
Elmer cocked his head. “Let you in?”
Monica answered that with a vague gesture. “I can’t reach him. And when I do, he just—he isn’t ready to receive me. He’s like an iron wall.” She looks Elmer’s way. “What is he like, these days? Can you tell him I’m looking for him?”
Elmer’s brow furrowed. “He’s gone,” he explained. And then he realized how that could have sounded, but Monica only looked puzzled, not worried, so he figured that she must’ve had some way of knowing whether he were dead or not. Ghost stuff. And, well, if both of them were dead, they probably would’ve found each other by now. So he said, “He left the city entirely. Didn’t even tell me where he was going. He was really sad, you know. When you died.”
She sighed, stopped walking. Looked out over the waves. Somewhere, beneath the water, her corpse was decomposing and probably being nibbled at by fish. It was only thanks to Elmer’s intervention that Huey’s body wasn’t down there, too. It occurred to him for the first time just how selfish that had been, stopping his friend from leaping into the waves. If there was life after death, dying so soon after her and in the same location probably would have made it very easy for him to join Monica. But he’d been so devastated. Elmer couldn’t let him die like that.
Which was selfish. But Huey knew he was selfish, and Monica did, too.
But that wasn’t what Monica was thinking about. She wrapped her arms around herself and listened to the sound of the waves. “I didn’t mean to hurt him,” she said, “with any of this. I wanted him to be happy.”
“Well, I could’ve told you that leaving wasn’t the way to accomplish that!”
He said it with a peppy grin, meaning to tease her gently, but she looked back with anguish in her eyes and he realized that he’d misjudged the significance of the statement. “They were after him,” she said. “I couldn’t let them think he was culpable, that he was going to—”
“Do exactly what we wound up doing?” Elmer asked, and now he made his smile gentler, more rueful. Monica looked away. He said, “We saw the play, you know.”
She sighed heavily. “And he still wanted to rescue me, after all that?”
“Of course he did! Why would that change things?”
“Because I wasn’t always the person he knew.” Monica raked her fingers through her long hair, pulling it back from her face. “Everything about me that he knew was a choice, something I had to be deliberately—”
“Yeah, but Huey supported that choice.” She looked at him, like she couldn’t believe that it was that simple. But it was. Huey had said so. “He felt bad about watching the play, you know. I mean, he felt a lot of things about that play, but I’m pretty sure he hated having to learn all that stuff from the play when you hadn’t even felt comfortable telling him yourself. He didn’t want them knowing something you’d wanted to keep hidden from him. You know? If you wanted it hidden, he wanted it to be hidden from everyone. So you could be who you chose to be.” He could see tears starting in her eyes. Not ideal. He poked the corner of her mouth, although that only made her bat his hand away. “He loved Monica. He loved Monica so much. If you wanted Maribel to stay in the past, he was gonna do whatever he could to make that happen.”
Yeah, she was going to cry. Even though this should be making her happy, he thought. She sniffed a few times, and then when he offered her his arms stepped gratefully into his embrace. She cried on his shoulder until the sun began to go down and he slowly woke up from his dream.

doing a baccano character tier list and dropped firo in the "don't know/don't remember" category by accident, but i'm tempted to keep him there just because i think it's really funny
#guy who reads through almost all of baccano and doesnt know who firo is#'firo?? is that one of the guys in jacuzzi's gang??'#baccano#i was going to put him in the top tier but apparently my fingers are saying otherwise sorry firo ://

Claire Stanfield (Baccano!): (under cut due to spoilers, but it's worth it!)
Claire: *Cute Mute Assassin holds knife to his chest* "It's been a while, You still planning to kill me? To be honest, I would completely understand if you were. I just thought it would be appropriate for me to go ahead and declare my love for you first."
#Affably Evil Showdown#Bibi#i love amy#claire stanfield#Baccano!#You want to get invested in Baccano!#You want to get invested in Baccano! so bad#You also want to read I Love Amy#It's so incredibly good

speaking of the alcatraz arc i'm sorry but i don't care how well another media did a prison escape plot. nothing will ever beat huey laforet chopping himself up into little pieces and being flown out of the prison by his daughter who is many birds with a graceful blind eye turned by his other hivemind creation who is almost every security guard

It took years of me saying I'd do it, but I finally got around to reading volume 1 of Baccano, and it was GREAT!
It was a surprisingly different experience from the anime. I knew that it only covered the 1930 storyline, but the details that the anime left out and the details that it added were both very pleasant surprises
I feel a whole new connection to this story that I've loved for so long, one that makes me strongly regret taking this long to experience it. Ryohgo Narita's ability to change his writing style based on the perspective character, his sense of humor, and the narrative throughlines connecting each disparate story together - I can tell already that this will be hugely influential to me
And I can tell how influential it was for Epithet Erased! I already knew that from things that Jello has said and from comparing the show to the anime, but seeing how the novels compare?? I'd be shocked if I learned that Jello has only seen the anime
I need to get my hands on the rest of the series ASAP, especially since I know what the next two books entail
