ONGOING ♙ "Cry for me; I'm the only one that can understand your tears." ♙ In the city of St. Petersburg, Russia, you've made an ordinary life for yourself after moving and burying your childhood misery in Moscow. Every day is the same, every thought getting repetitive as you work to keep certain memories locked and simply live aimlessly but in peace. You didn't know how much it bothered you until you meet a melancholic young man one day at a small bookstore, his violet eyes gleaming with familiarity, and he begins a chain of events that feel like nothing more than just a dream, his ideals wrapping around you like a blanket on a cold winter day. ♙ Basically my own take on Fyodor's pre-decay of angels days starting with a bit of a bookstore au. ♙ Disclaimer: I do not own bungou stray dogs or any of their characters. Credit goes to respective parties. I only own this plot and "you". - I will be using female pronouns - I will update when I can - When phrases are in italics in the middle of the story, those are "your" thoughts. When I write a section completely in italics, those are "your" memories/flashbacks. - [f/n] = first name, [l/n] = last name, etc. ♙ Big thank you to my friend Mar for this cover. <3

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". The credit to the Bungou Stray Dogs world goes to the respective owners. The plot is all originally mine, however. • Thank you to Mar for making me this lovely cover. Love always. (@marster_)

ONGOING (ON HIATUS) ♡ All you wanted was normal, but in a world with abilities, normal is far too unrealistic. ♡ You were unable to tell dream from reality growing up in the slums just outside of Yokohama city, always fighting for your life, numb to the constant suffering all for the right to live another day. During your time there you had known a group of children your age and got by with them in your darkest times; amongst those in the group, a brother and sister you empathized with more than the rest. However, after an incident, while the other children died they both disappeared and you were alone again. You thought you deserved it. Years later, you've found simple work at a tea shop in a small corner in Yokohama, taking impossible shifts to cover your inability to sleep due to your ability which you harbour so much hate for...until you see a face that pulls you back to your past and you make a mistake. You start to believe in the lies and debt of the Port Mafia boss for a simple relief of the part of you you resent the most. Of course, that's not all the keeps you there. Akutagawa. He is familiar, so you can't help but be curious. You both are. Moreover, after a twist of fate, you also become unexpectedly consumed in another's light. Atsushi. He feels safe, and you can't deny the need for it. Stuck in your mind, when both begin to mean different things to you it's chaos inside turned to insomnia; but who will be the one to grant you true peace of mind in the end? ♡ Disclaimer: I don't own bungo stray dogs or any of the characters except for you, and the plot. - this may start off a bit slow. ♡ Trigger Warnings: the usual in anything bsd. - I will be using female pronouns. - I update whenever I can. - SORRY FOR ANY OOC-NESS - Your ability in this story is lightly inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's poem "A Dream". ♡ Thank you to Mar (@marster_) for making me this cover.

COMPLETED (Dazai x Reader) + (Decay of Angels x Reader) ♧ ! • (This story contains minor details about the decay of angels, and Sigma's casino only mentioned in the BSD Manga so far, but prior knowledge of this is NOT needed. The actual plot of the manga will not be spoiled as I am only borrowing little bits for the plot of this fanfiction) • ! ♧ Almost ever since you moved to Japan around 5 years ago, you've been an employee at Sigma's casino. Though not directly involved, the decay of angels has a certain trust in you. A few years ago, you met an ex-Mafia member looking to waste time, and although charming, you didn't think too much of him. Now in the present, you see him again, but this time things are different, and the secrets buried deep in the casino are at stake. You're warned about the dangerous games he plays for information. What happens when you start needing to decide between him, and the casino? What happens when the Decay of Angels start capturing your mind as he does too? Who can you really trust? ♧ Disclaimer: I only own the plot and "you". All other characters and their personal stories belong to the respectful parties. ♧ I will be using female pronouns. I will update whenever I can. ♧ Warnings: The usual you'd find in BSD I guess. SORRY FOR ANY OOC-NESS ♧ A HUGE thank you to my friend Mar for making this cover for me, she deserves the recognition.

ONGOING ❦ This fanfic is an alternate reality of my other one called "The Marionette", in which Dazai came back into your life permanently. I recommend reading that one first, but it won't be completely necessary to read this one. ❦ How deep do your wounds run? There was 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. At the age of 12, you become Dazai's right hand...except you aren't allowed any contact with the outside world. At 13, all you hear around you is drowned out by the voice of only one, and 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 Kouyou Ozaki is given responsibility of you, but when she puts you in charge of working with Ryunosuke Akutagawa for strategic purposes, truths of your past are exposed and bring you back to where you started. With Dazai. How much has changed? ❦ Disclaimer: I do not own Bungou Stray Dogs or any of its characters, only the plot and "you". ❦ Trigger Warnings: - Anything you may find in BSD already. - In the story because it's related to Dazai, specifically mentions of suicide and harm. - Descriptions of depression and other mental illnesses. - Toxic relationships, abuse. ❦ Extra: - I will be using female pronouns. - I will update whenever I can. ❦ A big thank you to Mar (@marster_) for making me this cover!
