The watchful eyes of Lady Yamazaki observes all in the shadow, unbeknownst that a certain bandaged detective has his preying eyes settled on her. Warning, the series Bungo Stray Dogs covers very heavy and dark themes such as depression, murder, suicide, etc. Likewise, this book will contain strong, explicit language, mature and sexual themes, gory and overall graphic scenes. Reader's discretion is advised. Please read before proceeding, I'd like to remind you that the characters in Bungo Stray Dogs including my own character, despite being inspired by real life authors, are completely separate entities and are not meant to represent their real life counterparts in any way shape, or form and this information was confirmed by Asagiri, the author of BSD himself. Disclaimer, I only own my personal fan-made character and story/chapters and art used in this book, I do not own any of the canon characters nor the series Bungo Stray Dogs.

While these two years were filled with normal good times--(Y/n) was itching to get back into the game. Lucky for her, Osamu Dazai just so happens to walk into the shop she has been working at during her time of absence--asking for her to help with something important going on in Yokohama. The time to unleash her special ability has come once again and her relationship with the suicidal detective has resumed. - - - This is the sequel to 'The Beauty of Water' and I highly recommend reading that before continuing with this book if you have not already read it. All characters and plots from Bungo Stray Dogs do not belong to me and all credits go to their original owners. This is a Dazai x Fem!Reader, so I will be using she/her pronouns. Warning: There will be mentions of violence, torture and suicide (have you met Dazai?) throughout this book. I will try to update every Saturday, but please forgive me if I miss a day or two.

When this is ripped from her, she happens to meet the Armed Detective Agency and becomes a vital member. One day, a year after joining, a new young man gets joined with her friend and coworker, Doppo Kunikida. This man, Osamu Dazai, takes an immediate interest in the ex-officer. She just happens to also take an immediate interest in him as well. - - - Bungo Stray Dogs goes to their respective owners, I do not and will never own Bungo Stray Dogs. This is a Fem!reader x Dazai, so I will be using she/her pronouns throughout the story. Warning: This does contain themes of violence, murder, and suicide (seriously, have you met Dazai?). - - - Dark Mode: ✔ Started: 9/8/20 Finished: 11/13/20 Overall Word Count: 50,044 words
