[Eng Subs DL] Musical Yuukoku no Moriarty (Moriarty the Patriot) Op. 4 - "The Two Criminals"
Tumblr media
Hello, and Merry Christmas to those who celebrate~! Otherwise, Happy Holidays! I am here to share the English subtitles for more MoriMyu~!
Oh gosh, I apologize for such a long wait...! Life just punched me around a bit with studying for board exams (which I passed, thankfully!), a bit of technical problems with the BD version, and a lot of real life things I needed to take care of before the year ends ( ̄▽ ̄*)ゞ
Op. 4 covers chapters 33-47 of the original comic, with a few scenes/moments omitted. It is essentially the build-up to the climax of the story that was covered in Op. 5! We were also blessed with the addition of Miss Mary Morstan and Adam Whiteley for this musical, and I hope everyone falls in love with them, too~!
Anyway, here are the subs~! A huge, huge thank you to @mouldering for helping me with proof-reading and quality checking! I wouldn't have been able to finish this before Christmas without your help~! ♡ ~('▽^人) I will be updating the folders with the bonus content subtitles when I am able to as well, but for now, please enjoy the main show's subs~!
Links, notes, and disclaimers under the cut, enjoy~!
BD PURCHASE LINK (International cards and shipping accepted!): CDJapan - BD ver. | DVD ver. Official Sites: Twitter | Website (MoriMyu General) | Website (Op. 4) MoriMyu Op. 1 Subtitles | MoriMyu Op. 2 Subtitles | MoriMyu Op. 3 Subtitles
NOTES:
※ THE FILE IS SUBTITLES ONLY, VIDEO IS NOT INCLUDED! ※ The folder contains subs for a DVD version as well as a Blu-ray version! (I tested the DVD version on the BD a lot of times, and there was always a slight delay with the syncing, so I re-timed and re-styled it for the BD. You could technically load the DVD subs onto the BD, but you'd have to manually adjust the timing on your media player.)
All songs and lyrics were translated by me. A bit of creative liberty was exercised to fit context and some cultural references. As usual, the lyrics actually help move the plot, so I didn’t include the romaji for any of them. But, if you’d like to have the complete lyrics, I do have them saved up in PDF form, so feel free to DM me for them if you want ^^
Again, I’m not a native British English speaker, so some terms might be off. I consulted with a friend to help me check them, just in case, but please forgive any mistakes.
As usual, some scenes in the musical differ from the anime/manga for time and fluidity’s sake, so please don’t hit me for things that I can’t control ^^;
There aren’t particularly any triggering scenes here, but please do watch with caution since some subjects and terms used might be sensitive and/or triggering for other viewers.
@kumoriyami-xiuzhen​ requested me to do the bonus content subs, so I will be reblogging and updating the main post when they are up as well! ^^
RULES:
[MOST IMPORTANT] Please DO NOT re-post the subs and the link outside of Tumblr! If you want to share outside, please, please DM me about it and link my blog to your post. That’s all I ask.
Please DO NOT remove my credits.
Please DO NOT re-translate without permission.

Inspired by the people who catch me when I fall and whom I want to catch in return. 🫂
A short little Sherliam thing about William falling asleep in places after overexerting his brilliant mind.
Enjoy :)
---
Quite frankly, William had forgotten about it until it was too late. He'd been put on bed rest for weeks after waking up, and then gradually allowed only some activities that limited his exertion for so long that it simply had slipped his mind to inform Sherlock about his long-standing… condition.
It was only when he felt the onset of dizziness after finally cracking the mysterious profile of the criminal who'd been eluding them for months and saw Sherlock's sudden look of alarm that William realised he probably should have made mention of this earlier.
As things were, he only managed to mumble out a cryptic, "Sherly…usual…" before falling unconscious on the spot.
Concerns were waved away with a brief explanation of his condition the following day once he woke. The rest of the time was filled with embarrassment for him and Sherlock both as a particularly excitable Billy regaled him with the story of how Ponytail-senpai had immediately lunged to catch him before he could touch the ground like a knight swooping in to save a distressed damsel.
---
Embarrassment, however, was not enough to stop Sherlock from acting.
Exertion was unavoidable in their line of work. Even more so for Liam who possessed a nearly unmatched brilliance and foresight, and was often relied on to predict the target's next course of action. (Sherlock was willing to concede that while he was the best at deducing motives and culprits, Liam had the uncanny ability to predict and manipulate things in his favour.)
If Liam's fainting spells couldn't be avoided completely, then Sherlock simply made sure that there would always be a safe place for him. 
He would be there by Liam's side at a moment's notice, arms ready to catch him when he fell. He would gently lift the other in a secure hold (and oh, at the back of his mind he might register that Liam was still far too skinny, barely weighing more than a cat.)
Tucked safely against Sherlock's chest, the dozing blond might turn to nuzzle his face into that comforting scent before being lowered onto a comfortable surface. Whether it was a proper bed, or a makeshift sofa with soft blankets, William would have somewhere to just rest while Sherlock watched over him.
Liam's fainting spells would probably never disappear. But that hardly mattered.
Sherlock would always catch him, after all.

gods amongst men
No idea where this came from but hi yes I'm back with some writing *gasp* Honestly it's not my best piece, but I'm hungry and cranky and down with covid so eh :/
Enjoy I guess?
---
They see him as a god, casting righteous judgement upon wicked men, infallible and wrathful and wrapped in a shroud of divinity. William knows all; his plans are absolute. William cannot make mistakes. William will save them all when everything falls into his hands.
They see him as the devil – an undefeatable evil that holds London in his grasp. He is the great evil that plunges the world into darkness; that no light could ever hope to overcome.
Louis sees a man, one burdened by the weight of expectation. He hates the world and all its people for what they’ve forced his brother to become. (And some days, he finds himself hating Albert just a little bit, for allowing his brother the means to sacrifice himself in this way.) He sees the way his brother throws himself into plan after meticulous plan, double and triple checking his calculations to ensure that they will not fail. He sees the way weary and half-lidded scarlet eyes scan pages of scrawled notes, accounting for every possibility.
For all his genius, his brother is still just a man. And no human should have to bear the weight of being a god.
Louis worries. He doesn’t know how not to worry, when his brother seems insistent on throwing himself headfirst into danger, all conviction and confidence and none of that is misplaced but-
-that’s still his brother putting himself in precarious situations. And Louis can’t help the nauseated churning in his gut when he realises that he’s so often powerless to help him. That he has no choice but to trust in his brother’s plans and all the moving pieces he’s put into place to play their roles right.
Traitorous fear crawls and tunnels and burrows deep into his heart that someday there will be a mistake that proves that his brother isn’t a god – a slip-up, a misreading, a meddlesome detective who refuses to stick to the script – and then Louis will truly be at the mercy of whatever gods exist in this lawless world, begging for his brother to be saved and he prays that such a day never comes.
His brother is a genius man. But he is still just a man. And if he will not worry about himself, possessing not a shred a self-preservation, then Louis will simply have to worry enough for the both of them and keep his damn brother alive.

[Eng Subs DL] Paranoia Circus
Tumblr media
Happy Halloween! I come to offer you subs for a stage that I think fit the atmosphere and vibe of Halloween~ I was originally requested by @/matches_ma (on Twitter) to make the subs a good few months ago, and I meant to post them, but I got occupied by so many things that it was left in my drafts for a while. I figured now is a good a time as any to free it from my drafts prison!
I wouldn't go as far as to call it "trippy" or "campy" but some characters and scenes do give off a similar vibe~ It seems a bit confusing at first, but trust me, the story really builds and every little thing connects and makes sense at the end. It is funny, whimsical, and bittersweet. Not to mention, the actors and actresses were really wonderful in it~ Oh! It also references a lot of Edogawa Ranpo's works, so some characters and scenes reference titles and iconic moments from said books/short stories ^^
Official Links: Website | DVD Purchase Link
Notes, disclaimers, and link under the cut, enjoy~!
NOTES:
※ THE FILE IS SUBTITLES ONLY, VIDEO IS NOT INCLUDED!
RULES:
[MOST IMPORTANT] Please DO NOT re-post the subs and the link outside of Tumblr! If you want to share outside, please, please DM me about it and link my blog to your post. That’s all I ask.

[English Subs DL] Banana Fish Stage Play Part 1 & Part 2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hello, friends~! I come to you this time with English subs for the Banana Fish stage plays~! Thank you to @emerald-trashart for requesting me to do both plays! I had such a blast working on it even though it got a bit overwhelming and heavy at times (because Banana Fish (╥_╥))
The stage play is just so amazing, and beautifully made...! I went into this not knowing what to expect, and I came out of it just mesmerized. If you're familiar with Banana Fish, of course it will be as heavy as its source material, but I think that you would enjoy it! The production did a really great job respecting and staying true to the events of its source, and I think long-time fans would love it ^^
The actors, too...! They were so great at their roles, and gosh the emotions and intensity they portrayed were really convincing. Mizue Kenta and Okamiya Kurumu were so perfect as Ash and Eiji, and their chemistry was just beautiful T^T>
Alright, enough rambling! I'll let the stage play speak for itself! ( ̄▽ ̄)
For those who are interested in getting the Blu-rays for themselves, I’ll provide links below~ BD Purchase Links: (From Animate JP) BANANA FISH PART 1 | BANANA FISH PART 2 * Purchase links would require proxy since the BDs are sold-out on CDJapan and were requested through proxy either way. I couldn't find them on Animate International either ^^;
Notes, disclaimers, trigger warnings, and link under the cut, enjoy~! (Long post ahead ^^;)
NOTES:
※ THE FILE IS SUBTITLES ONLY, VIDEO IS NOT INCLUDED!
TRIGGER WARNINGS:
Heavy mentions/depictions of drugs/drug abuse, sexual abuse (rape, pedophilia, child prostitution/pornography, among others), mental disorders/illnesses, gun violence, racism, general gang violence, suicide, death.
Above themes are rampant in both stages, so please watch with caution. If you start feeling uncomfortable or anxious, please take a step back and stop watching until you feel better.
For those who want to start watching the anime after getting into it from the stage play, please refer to these guides for trigger warnings: Twitter | IMDb
MISC. NOTES:
From what I remember, the stage play follows the manga more than the anime (since the anime changed some stuff). So if something from the stage was not in the anime, you can check the manga for them ^^
RULES:
[MOST IMPORTANT] Please DO NOT re-post the subs and the link outside of Tumblr! If you want to share outside, please, please DM me about it and link my blog to your post. That’s all I ask.
Please DO NOT remove my credits.

hairline fractures of the soul
He grieves, sometimes.
He knows they’re alive, but they may as well be as good as dead. He’ll never be able to see them again. Such was the price for his new life.
Some days, William catches himself thinking that life would never be worth this pain. How much easier it would have been to simply have died that night alongside the rest of the evil that plagued London.
His life was spared, but it made no difference. He was still bringing pain to his beloved siblings. With no means of contact, they were still in mourning. He should have died that night. It was an utterly selfish thought, but at least death would have spared him the gaping hole in his chest that aches with the unfillable absence of his brothers.
William despises the nausea that curls up in his gut at the tea he sips, the taste teetering on the edge of familiar and strange. The oversteeped tea leaves a bitter aftertaste that washes away its sweet fragrance, a far cry from the lovely tea his brother has always prepared for him. And yet, he can’t help the hot tears that roll down his cheeks, spilling into the cup full of bitter grief.
It’s a relief, really, when Sherlock wordlessly switches out the tea leaves for coffee beans and learns to brew it for them. He claims it’s because coffee is a lot cheaper and easier to find than the imported tea leaves, but William knows that isn’t the full reason. He’s thankful for the detective’s quiet consideration.
Some days William thinks he’s doing a lot better, when weeks have passed without him thinking about his brothers. (He stamps down on the voice in his head that mocks and guilts him for forgetting about them.) The grief isn’t as immobilising as it once was, though his breath still catches in his throat when he comes across a book he knows Albert enjoyed, or hears a song that reminds him of the operatic performances they had attended together. In that brief moment, pain grips his heart so tightly that it feels almost unbearable.
The days that follow such incidents are always some of his most productive, as he throws himself into profiling and work to keep his mind occupied. Sleep and food are neglected in these hours of fervour unless Sherlock comes by with small meals or to physically pluck him away from work to rest.
Billy voices his concerns once or twice, but Sherlock doesn’t stop him from burying himself in cases.
He too understands, perhaps all too well, that the distraction of work is far preferable to thoughts of dying. The pain of boredom and of grief are not too dissimilar, driving their minds to frenzied notes in the discordant symphonies of their minds. 
They both know the pain of living.
---
Sorry for this kind of sad piece? I've been in a bit of an odd mood lately and my mind has been quite messy. I couldn't really figure out where I wanted the story to go, so I just ended it there. Sorry if it feels a bit abrupt.

Oh!! Oh!!!!! I forgot to post this sherliam drabble. It's been sitting in my notes for a while, whoops 🤭
Dedicated to the precious people who give me the courage to write. To the silliest duck 🦆, and to the 🙄 angel who haunts my waking moments, you know who you are.
---
William is no stranger to compliments. He’s heard a multitude of them throughout his childhood, and later growing up as the second son of Moriarty. There had been no shortage of nobles seeking to curry favour and lavish him in praises for his looks or intelligence.
This, however, is far different.
It starts out rather innocuously, a simple throwaway comment of, “Good job, Liam,” that Sherlock had made after completing a job together.
William hadn’t expected the heat rushing to his ears, or the catching of his voice as he muttered a quiet thanks and turned away.
Sherlock’s words are different.
He knows for a fact that the other only ever speaks the truth. He has no ulterior motive behind his praise, only stating what he sees as fact.
It rattles William to hear Sherlock call him good.
His words feel like a balm upon his soul.
An ablution for the days where William still feels the scarlet blood sticking to his skin and the desperate hands of victims clinging, clutching, clawing at him.
William’s reaction to praise does not go unnoticed. It is Sherlock, after all.
Of course, Sherlock does occasionally comment on his brilliance, especially after a difficult criminal profiling or a particularly tricky mission. But the praises that linger in his memory are often those quietly pressed into his skin in the silence of the night.
You were good today, accompanies a kiss upon his scar.
I adore your kindness, is a searing brand that Sherly presses into his neck.
Your compassion is boundless, is whispered into his ears as long, violin-callused fingers thread through his hair.
William shivers through each and every one of them, guilt warring against precious relief. Some days, he finds himself unconvinced that a sinner like him deserved such sweet, gentle words. Sherlock can always tell when such thoughts creep into the tension in his back and wordlessly continues his soft ministrations, letting his fingers and lips and eyes demonstrate his devotion in a rite of sanctification.
Sometimes William finds warm tears pooling in the corner of his eyes, Sherlock’s genuine words unwittingly echoing the heartfelt praises from a lifetime ago.
He remembers a sickly Louis gripping his hands tightly in the cold of night, insisting that they share the blanket William had managed to procure. You’ve always had such a selfless heart, brother. 
Sherlock’s compliments bring to mind the image of Albert patting him gently on the head and sneaking him spoils from his rounds through the town. You’re changing many lives, Will. The baker sends his thanks.
William trembles and shakes through silent sobs, allowing these words to wash over him, granting him a brief respite from loathing and despair.
He ought to be used to compliments after a lifetime of hearing them. (Brilliant professor, artful consultant, unrivalled mastermind.)
But only his closest few - Louis, Albert, Sherlock - ever complimented his heart.
---
Hi.
Thanks for reading!
In all honesty the inspiration was "what if Liam had a praise kink" but halfway through it became a bit more emotional HAHAHAHAHAH no idea where the sadness came from but oh well 🤷‍♀️

Another one of the writing challenge pieces. It's a Fred-centric piece that I wanted to write because of Morimyu
Prompt: Smoke
---
I don’t enjoy smoking, you know; it makes my lungs feel dirty.
Is it disrespectful to his memory, Fred wonders, if he basks in the smell of smoke to remember the light in his life?
He lingers in the streets and alleyways, pausing when he catches that too-familiar whiff of acrid, comforting smoke. He lets the smell permeate the fabric of his scarf, wondering how long it will keep.
If he closes his eyes and takes a breath, Fred wonders if he can deceive himself into imagining the presence of his saviour’s ghost, taking the shape of a firm hand on his back and a faintly murmured compliment before it dissipates like smoke in the wind.
He can’t help but recall one of the last few conversations he had shared with William, desperately begging to take some of the burden from his hands. He’d always obeyed William without question - he owed so much to the other, after all. 
But it is precisely that indebtedness that makes him wonder why this equality came at the cost of snuffing out the warm, kind glow of his life. His eyes had become so accustomed to the comfort of that brightly burning candlelight, that he feels so suffocated by the sudden darkness his world has been plunged into.
All he has left is the lingering scent of smoke, the remnants of an incense lit to fill the grand cathedrals of his vision for a better England.
Fred looks heavenwards and mutters a prayer.
---
Thank you for stopping by.

Part 3 of the writing challenge and my ~Missing Morimyu Hours~
Prompt: Breeze
.
The breeze creeps in through the open window of Louis’s office.
The bite of frigid winter air whips painfully across his scarred cheek, but the young man cannot bring himself to shut it out.
He wonders if this breeze too reaches his eldest brother, locked in a stone prison of his own choosing. He looks outwards upon the city and wonders if his brother, too, is gazing out the window. And if so, could this peculiar breeze carry the weight of his longing gaze to meet Albert’s in the middle.
Albert has always loved the crisp winter air.
.
Thinking of one brother leads him to thoughts of the other, more often than not. His truest relation, bound by both blood and oath, obligation and choice.
There's never a moment where thoughts of William escape his mind.
But it's at times like these, in the cold silences of spaces that he feels his brother's absence most sorely.
In childhood, a simple breeze like this would have sent William scrambling for a coat of some sort to drape over Louis, lest his condition worsened.
Louis's shoulders feel startlingly empty.
He wonders if his brother can feel this same breeze wherever he is, or if he's travelled somewhere too far away for Louis to ever know.
Eyes shut wistfully, he wishes he were the seed of a dandelion, dancing freely with the whims of the wind.
Maybe then, he could have chased his brother to the ends of the earth, unfettered by anything.
The breeze taunts him with the freedom he knows he cannot have, shackled as he is to his brother's final wishes to see the peace they've built on his sacrifice.
The gentle caress of the breeze feels a little like warm fingers pressing against his face. A greeting, a goodbye all wrapped into one.
His brothers have all paid their dues.
.
Louis’s penance is knowing that he cannot follow.
---
Thank you for reading.

Another piece from the writing challenge.
Prompt: Sleep
Sleep does not come easy to him any more. In this cage that overlooks the glorious, flourishing city, Albert only sees the price of his brother's sacrifice. 
His insistence at having a view of the tower bridge is his form of penance, picking at the scabs of his heart so that they may never heal because that pain is the only tangible reminder he has left of his little brother. 
Sometimes, his gaze is drawn towards the townsfolk who dance in the streets, merrily rebuilding in the ash of destruction and can't help but grow to resent them, just a little.
How blissfully ignorant these people are, decrying the name of the Lord of Crime like the Jews at Golgotha, spitting on their saviour and sending him to his death.
Albert wonders if this peace had truly been worth his brother's life.
Had the serpent ever felt remorse for tempting Eve with a bite of fruit?
Or were these feelings born from the loss of the serpent's legs? Being forced to slither the ground on his belly, crawling along the heels of mankind full of spite and despair until he might someday find himself at the feet of his brother and beg him for forgiveness.
Sleep is an elusive thing, for Albert. His nights are plagued with the dreadful final image of his brother falling from the bridge, branded into memory. Dying for an ideal that they had all sought and thought they had counted the cost of and yet-
Albert wonders if this is what the apostles had felt that night in the garden, wrong-footed and helpless as they watched soldiers march away with saviour in tow.
The worst nights are when he dreams of happier times. Between the fire and their move to Durham, they had very briefly known peace. They had little to their name, only sharp minds and sweet words and guileless faces to navigate the unforgiving aristocracy.
But they had been together, the three brothers Moriarty.
Dreams of reading by the fireplace with William and Louis taunt him, the lingering taste of Louis’s calming tea leaving his mouth laden with ash.
Sleep leaves Albert missing his brothers like a limb, the loss of William running through him like a phantom pain he’ll never be rid of. 
His dreams carve the presence of his brothers into his very soul, an excruciating process that leaves him screaming hoarse in the morning, panting into sweat-soaked sheets.
Pain seems a small price to pay, to briefly live that bliss of being with his brothers once again.
.
Albert closes his eyes and prays for sleep.
