Title: asphyxiophilia
Author:

con_noncuranzaRating: PG-15, for boys in their late teenage years having hormones. Or really, just one boy.
Warnings: Drug abuse. This also depicts an incredibly unhealthy, relatively codependent relationship, with both partners aware and complicit that it has the potential to be very damaging, though this is especially on Doumeki's side.
Summary: [He dreams of drowning, of moving to the Mariana Trench and living on the bottom of the ocean floor and waking up one morning unable to breathe suddenly, gasping in buckets of salty water until his vision flickers in the dark-
and he wakes up, choking on air.] Doumeki attempts to function. It sort of works.
Notes: I started writing this when the general fandom assumption was-due to what seemed to be some pretty strong canonical hints-that Yuuko (and thus Watanuki) smoked opium. In 194, the pipe-seller mentions tobacco, however, which might (though not necessarily) disprove the theory. Thus, Watanuki smokes both opium and tobacco, probably together.
This deviates from canon not long after the first time jump post chapter 186, which was when I started writing it. I suppose it could technically be canon-compliant, but I don't really see it that way.
