#all fyozai fics should probably have a age difference tag

[valenteal]

Fyodor was briefly in the secret founding of the detective agency which took place 12 years before the main storyline. He looked pretty much the same. He had to have been at least 18. Which means he is at least 8 years older than Dazai and at least 30 in the main story line.which would also make him older than Shibusawa by at least 1 year.

Anyway I think a lot of people grossly underestimate Fyodor’s age (I am also guilty of this) and assume he’s about as old as Dazai. He is not. He was already a prolific international criminal when Dazai was 10.
