A Touch of Sorrow [Dazai x OC x Chuuya]
"An apology can't change the reality, but it can change one's mind about that reality." ----- A book I managed to whip up in my prolonged spring break. Enjoy! Warning: ANGST, trigger warnings, violence. Some violent scenes are quite graphic though I'm bad at writing them. If you are okay with that then buckle up for the rough ride! I don't own anything except for the story and my OCs! ----- Published: June 29th 2020. Status: CompletedComplete
Oblivion • Akutagawa x Reader
COMPLETED ▵ What if you woke up one day and didn't know who you were? What if after one accident, all your memories were blocked, and the one rule to your recovery is to not force yourself to remember, but figure things out as the days go on? What if you couldn't even remember who you loved? You may have the detective agency caring for you, but there's something missing, and you can't quite place why...or how you lost it. How far are you willing to go to find it again? ▵ Disclaimer: I don't own bungo stray dogs or any of the characters except for you, and the plot. YOUR ABILITY IS BASED OFF OF THE REAL AKUTAGAWA'S STORY 'In a Grove' !! ▵ I will be using female pronouns, I will be updating whenever I can. ▵ Thank you to Mar for making this cover for me, she's the sweetest go show her some love !!
