People are afraid of the dark and what lurks in it. They are afraid of her as well. And yet, Dazai Osamu-- a man drowning in the same sea of shadows that had long since become her home-- was the first to tell her that she belonged to the light.

To L, she was an unknown piece in the giant game of chess he was playing with Kira. Or rather, she was the wildcard third person that had enough influence to disrupt his carefully laid out plays, and that demanded that he solve the enigma known as (Y/n) Yagami. She was dangerous, and knowing this, she wasn't above using her influence which made her a worrying variable. If he was going to solve this case, he had a feeling that he would need (Y/n) to be playing for his side, which was easier said than done since it would further require uprooting her seemingly unwavering loyalty to her brother.

COMPLETED • There is no better way to describe you than a doll, living to please your owner. At the age of 11, Mori took you in from an orphanage and brought you to the Port Mafia; that's when you met Dazai and discovered your ability. At the age of 12, you become Dazai's right hand...except you aren't allowed any contact with the outside world. At 13, you hear a voice that you are told is nothing but a dream, at 14 you've become nothing but a puppet in the hands of a puppet master. At age 15 he's gone, and you are left with nothing. In the present, now 19, executive Chuuya Nakahara is given responsibility of you, but when he takes you on a mission and you don't react the way he needs you to, he starts to realize something is terribly wrong with you...he just doesn't know what. Only meeting you once in the past, what will happen when he starts piecing it all together? How will he react when he starts to care more about you than he should? What strings will he have to play to free you from your past? How deep do your wounds run? • - Trigger warnings: the usual you'd find in BSD, implications of sexual harrassment. - I will be using female pronouns. - nsfw warning in part 2 (chapter 41). • Disclaimer: I don't own the characters except for "you".

"It's a gamble," she warns him, but she's already leaning up slightly to meet him halfway. "We will either heal together," he concludes, mouth already pressed to hers, "or we will both be destroyed." And, together, they fall.

#1 in #bungoustraydogs (6/26/19) #8 in #bungoustraydogs(8/8/19) #12 in #bungoustraydogs (8/2/19) Gender neutral reader insert. The bar was empty, save for the new employee polishing glasses. Something didn't feel quite right, though. A certain (y/n) did not belong in this universe. (Follows events starting from Cannibalism arc. Spoilers for anime only watchers. Contains violence, descriptions of blood, lots of thinking in the newer chapters, year gap between chapter 12-13? I dunno man I'm literally only continuing this as a no thought head empty shitpost project because it's not my best writing tbh. No proofread we die like Odasaku. Proceed with caution)

Right there where we stood was holy ground.
