[Bungo Stray Dogs] Those Endless Overtime Hours in France

My own take on an organization of Transcendents in France: the Knights of the Misty Moon. Every member starts out with a royal stipend. France is governed by Napoleon, who serves as both president and prime minister, a position Hugo pushed him into despite being terrible at it.

A collection of short stories about Verlaine, featuring many original foreign Transcendents.

The main timeline takes place in the second year after Verlaine joins the organization.

In the alternate timeline, Verlaine is willing to take Chuuya back to France, on the condition that Chuuya not be involved in politics or turned into a tool. Rimbaud agrees.

As it turns out, Chuuya auditions in France, debuts, and becomes a top-tier star. The Verlaine and Rimbaud romance is a tug-of-war, with neither of them aware of the other's feelings, though to onlookers it looks like they've broken up and gotten back together hundreds of times.
