Soukoku Fluffshots
As the name suggests, its a book filled with our beloved soukoku fluffs~ Because, lets be real, we definitely need fluff to recover from their angst stories 😔 . A little about their status for this book: 1) Dazai and Chuuya are already in relationship. The others are not aware of it yet they all suspect something's brewing up between them. 2) Dazai never left Port Mafia. He's still the one next in line to be Port Mafia's leader. 3) Chuuya is an executive along side Dazai. 4) They both are already adults. 5) If, in any oneshot, there is a change of scenario, I'll mention it beforehand. . That's all! Thank you~ . . . Disclaimer: The characters and artwork aren't mine unless specified. Although the plot is mine. However, some fluffshots are inspiration from the fanarts I found on Pinterest.Complete
