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".

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_)

Dazai x Isekaid OC "For Dazai-san, I can light the world up in flames, and you think I can't kill myself a second time?" Synopsis: Waking up in the world of Bungou Stray Dogs wasn't exactly the goal I had in mind when I attempted suicide. Honestly, I just wanted to escape the crushing ache and overflowing tears that come with unbearable pain. But instead, I got myself into a different kind of pain; a pain, I soon decided, is worth living for. Roaming in an unfamiliar world with familiar faces isn't as easy as you may think, especially when you're trying to blend in and act normal to convince insanely smart people that you're one of them. Especially when you're helplessly in love with one of those people. Especially when he's dangerous enough to be called the demon prodigy. Dazai Osamu, the only one who helped me toughen up and get through my past life no matter how bad the day got before I gave in to that disastrous impulse, the only one I felt a deep connection to throughout my thrown-away life. In my previous life, I had no goals or dreams I wanted to accomplish or felt the drive to dedicate my whole life to, but in this one, I have. What is it? Well, it's to witness Dazai walking in this fleeting world, experiencing a life full of happiness. And to make sure he's happy, I can even kill myself a second time. Start date: June 21, 2022 End date: No beta, we die like my expectation watching Dazai Osamu's entrance exam's anime adaptation

You were relieved that he was okay since his body sprang to its feet as if nothing had happened, but were you? Those dreadful memories flood your mind at random intervals, causing you to lose concentrate on the tasks you were given. You've become too soft, and you've taken on too much responsibility for yourself. Falling down when leaning against a wall. You tied your breathing while holding your head to your knees. You were known as the Port Mafia's key, the Port Mafia's answer, and the Port Mafia's power source. You, on the other hand, wanted the solution for yourself.
