Four years ago, you were the brightest young detective in Yokohama-until a mission ended with ten thousand dead and your name written in blood. You vanished, choosing solitude over salvation, haunted by every scream you couldn't silence.
But when Osamu Dazai shows up at your apartment door with that same lazy smile and a case that sounds eerily familiar, you realize ghosts don't stay buried forever.
Now, between sleepless nights, tangled emotions, and the dangerous dance of two broken minds, you're forced to confront the one mystery you've spent years avoiding-your own heart.

Bruised, Not Broken ( a soukoku fanfic )
After years of silent endurance under Mori's thumb, Dazai Osamu finally breaks. Wounded, overstimulated, and unable to speak, he shows up at Chuuya's door in the dead of night - not as a Mafia executive, but as a shattered boy who doesn't know how to ask for help. Chuuya, still tethered to him by something deeper than he'll admit, takes him in without question. What begins as a night of tending wounds slowly unravels into something far more fragile: trust. As Dazai recovers in secret, hidden from Mori's reach, the two rediscover each other in the quiet. Trauma leaves its mark - in broken speech, haunted silence, and the missing eye Dazai refuses to explain - but Chuuya refuses to let him fall back into darkness. Even when Dazai proposes marriage in the middle of a breakdown, even when grief and guilt threaten to drown them both, Chuuya stays. Together, they plan their escape - from the Mafia, from their past, from a city that never let them breathe. With Ango's help, they fake their deaths and disappear into a life neither of them believed they could ever deserve. A life with a home. A shared bed. A bath filled with lavender oil. A prosthetic eye that lets Dazai be seen without being dissected. And for the first time in years, they begin to learn what safety feels like. But healing is never easy. And love, no matter how deep, doesn't erase the scars overnight. This is a story of survival. Of choosing each other. Of saying stay and meaning it. And of two broken souls building something whole in the quiet. So what would happen if both joined the ada? And what would happen if Mori demands Dazai back after the prison arc?

PIED PIPER | dazai osamu
Dazai / reader | Your heart is lost; he had eaten it. Trapped in his web, your memories stretched thin against the cradle of his fingers; you are at his mercy. He had stitched you to his heart, carefully, burying you in your own echo...that echo being another echo...He says that it was for your own good; yet you still feel the stab of the needle, the knife cutting the thread loose, only to tighten you against his chest, becoming one. At the end of the day, by a mirror, you would ask yourself: Who was I? Who am I? Eve or Adam: Eve from his brittle rib, or Adam for creating Dazai into the man he was now? But the person staring back wouldn't be you.Complete
Beyond the Ashen Bond~ ( soukoku )
Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya were sixteen when they first fell into something resembling love. It wasn't gentle or simple-how could it be, for two boys born in blood and bound by violence? Their connection was as jagged as broken glass, held together by the friction of their sharp edges. In a world of treachery and shadow, they found a fleeting solace in each other, something tender amidst the chaos. But love, like everything else in their lives, wasn't built to last. Two years later, Dazai shattered Chuuya's trust in a way only he could-cruel, deliberate, and devastatingly precise. He left without explanation, without warning, and without looking back, leaving Chuuya to pick up the pieces of a heart carved hollow. That was when everything began to unravel. In the absence of Dazai's calculated brilliance, the Port Mafia's violence escalated. What had once been a shadowy empire of calculated control became a relentless machine of destruction. Cities burned, lives crumbled, and the Mafia's sins grew too large to be ignored. Chuuya, already drowning in the weight of his heartbreak, found himself thrust deeper into the chaos, his name etched in crimson as a symbol of the Mafia's unstoppable power. Then came the breaking point. The government, long complicit through its silence, finally declared war on the Port Mafia. The order was absolute: disband the organization and execute its members without exception. Chuuya's name was at the top of every list, his reputation as a devastating force cementing him as the ultimate target. Now, hunted from all sides, Chuuya stands alone, a fugitive in a crumbling world. The man who once loved him is a ghost, haunting the shadows of his memory, while the sins of his past close in with every step. As the weight of survival presses down on him, a single question burns in his mind: **Can he escape the shadows of his own making, or will the abyss finally claim him?**Complete

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 will do whatever it takes.
