Bungou Stray Dog Fanfic.
Featuring SSKK
In the slums of Yokohama, twelve-year-old Akutagawa Ryuunosuke knows how to survive - how to steal, how to fight, how to protect his little sister Gin, and most of all, how to stay invisible.
So when he stumbles upon a crumbling orphanage at the edge of the district, slipping through the back door in search of scraps is just routine. But just as he's about to leave, a sound stops him.
Chains.
A faint sob.
Coming from the dark beneath the building.
In the cold, rotting basement of that orphanage, a boy known only as No. 78 sits locked in a cage - skin too pale, voice too small, and eyes too afraid to hope. He's never seen the outside world. Never been called by a real name.
Ryuunosuke wasn't looking for anyone.
He just wanted to feed his sister.
But the boy behind the bars changes everything.
Two broken children.
Two brutal pasts.
And one fragile thread between them - something neither of them has ever known: connection.
Or...
What if Atsushi and Akutagawa met when they were still just children?
Before Dazai.
Before the Port Mafia.
Before the Armed Detective Agency.
...
