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.

The Port Mafia's lion. The non-gifted ace in Mori's pocket. Akutagawa had heard stories, caught glimpses, but nothing ever could have prepared him for the reality. "No. No, don't say it. If you say it, it makes it real." *none of the characters or plot lines from bsd used are mine* Began: January 28th 2024 Completed: March 31st 2024

COMPLETED ▵ What if you woke up one day and didn't know who you were? What if after one accident, all your memories were blocked, and the one rule to your recovery is to not force yourself to remember, but figure things out as the days go on? What if you couldn't even remember who you loved? You may have the detective agency caring for you, but there's something missing, and you can't quite place why...or how you lost it. How far are you willing to go to find it again? ▵ Disclaimer: I don't own bungo stray dogs or any of the characters except for you, and the plot. YOUR ABILITY IS BASED OFF OF THE REAL AKUTAGAWA'S STORY 'In a Grove' !! ▵ I will be using female pronouns, I will be updating whenever I can. ▵ Thank you to Mar for making this cover for me, she's the sweetest go show her some love !!

COMPLETED. ❦ ambivalent; having mixed feelings or contradictory ideas about something or someone. ❦ Because all is fair in love and war ❦ (Dazai X Reader) + (Chūya X Reader) ❦ Summary: You have only been living in Japan for 2 years when things take a sudden turn and you find yourself being taken care of at the infamous armed detective agency.

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!

"at the sight of the words 'I love you' the desire to stay alive had welled up in him" - george orwell, 1984. a dazai osamu x reader

SEQUEL TO HUMAN It has been four years since graduation; since your disappearance from the mafia; since your beloved younger sister melted away in your arms. Four whole years since Izanami last whispered in your mind. Now you support the Armed Detective Agency; a career of examining the twisted minds of criminals whilst dealing with your own impending worry that the life you had wished for will slip away from you by the goddess living inside your head. Will things be the same for you and Dazai as they were four years ago? Will Izanami wake within your subconscious once more?

"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.

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.

Mori's double edged blade, his protégé twin flames, his own chaotic desire manifested. How could he have anticipated something like this? They had each been molded to perfection by his cruel hand after all. And yet, at the same time, how could anyone have expected anything different? They were both so young and so hungry after all. *childhood friends to lovers aka starts when they're like twelve and goes until they're eighteen. there is a book 2 with them as adults called shark* none of the characters or plot lines from BSD belong to me. started: november 4th 2023 completed: January 18th 2024 sequel began: january 18th 2024
