// "People speak of hope as if it is this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spider webs. It's not. Hope has dirt on her face, blood on her knuckles, the grit of cobblestones in her hair, and just spat out a tooth as she rises for another go." //

Kindness is often mistaken for softness and let me tell you, that is a mistake you don't want to make. Kind people are not born that way, they do not stumble into it. Kind people are forged in fire and darkness and imploding stars; they have steel cores. Throw a punch and you're going to break your hand. Dazai knew that better than most. He has seen life crush so many others, and they become these kinder versions of themselves after having faced the worst of it all. He's seen it happen to himself.

An immortal king who only wishes to end his life. What drove him to this insane state? Why did he live such a suicidal lifestyle when his future was perfect? Why would he ruin everything just for a little thrill? He knew his life was going to crumble around him. Perfect doesn't last, after all. Those he had grown so fond of wouldn't have made it, so Dazai was willing to gamble everything if it meant he could do something worthwhile - be something worthwhile.

Now, he stands in the middle of a battlefield, breaking the very people he swore to protect.

"You can't protect them if you're still stuck in the past!" I heard Chuuya shout, his eyes burning into the back of my head. "It wasn't your fault, Dazai! To me, to us, you were no monster. Now get that into that damn head of yours."

"But-"

"I don't have time for your damn rebuttals. Save the person that's right in front of you rather than those in your past. They're gone, but we're not. We're still here."

They say that a child who isn't embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth. And that's what [Y/N] has literally had to do-though subconsciously-while desperately trying to make a change. After committing arson with her ability in rural Japan, she's taken to Yokohama to be kept under the supervision of the Port Mafia-Fire burns brighter in the darkness, right? So then, why is it that Dazai insists on refusing to let her lurk in the shadows of death? What could a former mafioso want to prove-needed to prove-besides the moral wrongs of a life lead of crime? But convicts know no morals; former Mafia executives and proactive arsonists are certainly not the best with morals... but if he insists... . . . "Will you wait for me in heaven?" "Don't make me wait for too long, [Y/N]." - I pulled the trigger. I shot Dazai.

School AU of Chuuya x Reader and a slight!Dazai x Reader~ (it might be mostly Dazai at first) First Story, yay! (aside from the one shot I've written) I can't promise it'll go well, but it's worth a try, right?? I'll do my best to make this story end successfully!! Please enjoy :D -CharminglySplendid »»-------------¤-------------«« Working as a waitress at a family restaurant as your part time job over the summer, a new boy walked into your job- more like life. The boss immediately partnered you with the new boy, Nakahara Chuuya. And it was the worst idea ever. You hated this guy, and you knew that he hated you too. You two would constantly argue over everything, playing the blame game like two year olds. And of course, you were stuck in the same class with him at your new high school as a third year. Teachers would always put you into pairs in every single project, no matter what. Until you met a boy named Dazai Osamu. It was like love at first sight, you were head over heels for him. Unfortunately, he was an exceptionally well gifted student so he is in an advanced class. Once you realized that Chuuya was actually good friends with Dazai, you two made a promise: that Chuuya helps your relationship with Dazai, hopefully making it successful while Chuuya- well he really had no promises, it was more like a command from you. With Chuuya helping your relationship with Dazai, the two of you formed a very strong bond along the way and maybe meeting Chuuya wasn't so bad as you thought it would be... »»-------------¤-------------«« Disclaimer/warning: There will be a few OCs in this story and a disclaimer that I don't own any of the characters of BSD!! ♡Finished at 8/28/16♡
Walking In Your Fleeting World || Dazai Osamu by yuseiboushi619
49 parts Ongoing
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

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_)
