[chaos-of-the-abyss]

i have once again become absolutely insane about the odazai scene in bar lupin bc like. dazai is never this sincere, this open. as a general rule he is more open and genuine with oda than he is with other characters, but even then the beast lupin scene was a whole different level. and what gets me is this is all coming from a place of such sheer desperation. dazai, at the end of all that he's wrought, finds himself so desperately wanting, so desperately hoping, that oda will understand why he did what he did, that oda will see where he's coming from. he prepared for this, he literally bet on the fact that oda would not know him, would not care about him, would not like him or consider him a friend bc that's what dazai had to do to keep him safe, to keep the world where he can live and write novels from disappearing. and yet, faced with the actuality of that exact situation he's created... dazai can't help but beg oda to understand the reason for his actions

he wanted this. he planned for this. and as hard as that was for him to do, i don't think he could have ever fathomed how much it would hurt to truly be confronted with the reality of it

[prxblemcyld]

I didn't know him, not really. I had only heard of him. It was impossible not to know about the youngest, ruthless Port Mafia Boss after all, especially if you works at the Armed Detective Agency. But it didn't matter. Even before we were people, Dazai Osamu and I were enemies. Even before we were a man and a woman, he and I were a mobster and a detective who had sworn allegiance to their respective institutions. Even at the cost of dying. But when I first met him all these convictions crumbled like lime; in their place doubts arose, uncomfortable emotions, sensations never experienced before. The taste of melancholy. Of something left in the middle.

***

Neither of us dared to move a muscle. He, however, unlike me, seemed a calm sea. I was so stiff that I couldn't hide my hand shake. I slowly reached for the hidden pistol in the sheath, but I was ready to react with my Ability the moment he made one misstep.

"You won't need that."

His voice was flat, tired I dare say, lacking in energy. As if he never knew what happiness was. But I guessed, who knows how, who knows why, that he was sincere. He apparently didn't want to hurt me, but that wasn't enough to make me let my guard down. A few seconds passed in which silence was prevented from taking complete control by the rushing of water inside some pipes located on the walls of that tunnel. He looked at me fixedly, I tried not to lower my eyes. His gaze made me nervous, it gave me shivers on my skin. It seemed to dig deep inside me looking for something I didn't know. Something that only I owned. I let him do it without resisting, as if I had forgotten that he was the enemy. Only at the end did I seem to come back to me.

"What do you want?" I spat out in frustration; for some reason my voice came out less angry than I wanted though. He lingered biting the inside cheek, then his shoulders dropped making me discover that he had been holding his breath the whole time.

"I wanted to see you."

And in that moment I saw it: the sadness in his gaze. People tend to represent it as something dark and distressing, but that one eye of his free from the impediment of the bandage began inexplicably to sparkle. My heart raced furiously. I couldn't do anything but gasp like a fish out of water and my hand slipped away from the gun. I realized that those words had hurt me. Both me and him. Me because I did not understand the meaning, and yet, at the same time, they had begun to echo in my head stronger than thunder; him because in pronouncing them he seemed to have unlocked a cog somewhere inside himself that he had tried to silence, but in vain.

***

In the universe of Beast Michiko adopts a new life at the Agency following some residence complications that force her to abandon the job she had earned with so much effort at the "Yokohama daily" newsroom; she now lives togheter with Oda and the orphans, alternating between being a caring older sister and a childish younger sister. Her relationship with the former mafioso has remained unchanged, with the only difference being that it's much more solid, having had the favor of time on their side. Oda loves her immensely, Michiko dotes for him and his attentions; whether it's to express affection or the simple desire to receive a caress, the girl will never leave it silent. Caring about writing as much as him she gladly reads his draft, praising how excited she is about the upcoming publication of his first book.

Her relationship with Dazai, however, doesn't boast the same immutability.

In all the universes that Dazai has gone through and in all the lives he has lived, he and Michiko have always found each other. In all but this one. The price to pay for Odasaku to live is high, higher than the boy could have expected, but he can't go back even if it means sacrificing his relationships with the ones that made his life a little easier, including Michiko who will never have the chance to hold his hand, because in this alternate universe she becomes a member of the Armed Detective Agency while Dazai is the boss of the Port Mafia. Their love would be forbidden, but in reality it doesn't even have time to blossom. Dazai, who thanks to his Ability still possesses all his memories, is unable, however, to stay away from her and for this reason he can't fail to meet her despite Michiko has never known him and automatically labels him as the enemy. During their first and only encounter her guard is high and her hand readily grazes the gun. In the mafioso's gaze, however, there is a glimmer of nostalgia that leads the girl to wonder if the person in front of her is really the much feared leader of a criminal organization as everyone says. Inexplicably, her heart begins to beat faster, as if she recognized that of other, but she is unable to voice that feeling, recognized by herself primarily as "wrong" due to the role she plays as a detective. However, Dazai shows no willingness to hurt her or engage in a fight, limiting himself to a few words that leave Michiko with her soul divided in two.

After learning of Dazai's suicide with a misterious girl, Michiko tries in vain to chase away the unjustified sadness that assails her, but she can't find peace. Often she goes to the cemetery without Oda knowing and remains for hours in front of the tombstone on which stands the name of the one who, in another life, had been her greatest love.

Thank you for reading this far! This was Michiko's version in Beast!AU, next one will be Tomie. If you're a veteran on my account you probably recognized this old art; since Michiko design has changed I decided to simply redo it lol yeah this was just a clarification

If you have questions I'll gladly answer them ♥︎

volatile times

[sixie]

AU where Dazai somehow ends up in Beast Universe & confronts Port Mafia's broken boss, gone mad from despair.

Chuuya expects this Dazai to be another hallucination but instead feels a gentle hand to his face that he's never experienced before as No Longer Human soothes his rage.

How to hug your Port Mafia Boss

Self-Aware! BEAST! Dazai Osamu x GN! Reader x Self-Aware! Dazai Osamu

Description: He can't sleep at night. He ended up on your doorstep.

Warning: OOC. English is my second language. Short and fluffy.

You bit the end of your pencil. This word cross was hard. Technically, you were supposed to be in bed already, but, you still have half of this word cross to finish. You won't have time to finish it tomorrow, and you don't want to leave it unsolved.

"Will you finally get to bed?" grumble Osamu, glaring your word cross. He was laying on your bed. He came here earlier, wanting to cuddle tonight.

"Iris Flower, I need some cuddles!" whined Osamu, holding his hands towards you.

Before you can answer, you heard that noise again.

You heard steps, coming from outside your room. Normally, you won't bother to pay attention to the sound. There is no curfew (except for the kids), and some members of the Cast enjoyed midnight snacks or going to a nightclub.

Yet, there was one thing that bothered you.

This someone was walking from one side of the corridor to another for fifteen minutes already.

And you were sure, that it was the same person. Of course, your hearing won't be as sharp as Jouno's, but after his lesson you could tell, if the sound of steps were the same or different.

After this, someone walked outside your door again. Your curiosity took the best of you. You put word cross to the side, stand up from your chair and went to the door.

You opened the door.

And came face to face with Dazai. Whose left eye was cowered in bandages.

He stepped on the side, startled. He looked guilty.

"Sorry, [Y/N]. Did I wake you up?" Port Mafia Boss whispered.

You shook your head. Your words were soft.

"Don't worry, Dazamu, I wasn't sleeping."

Dazai frowned. He knew why he was called either Dazai or Dazamu (Osazai sounded too silly for him). He wasn't used to have a nickname. Dazai spoke, his voice was quiet.

"You shouldn't stay up late."

You whispered in return.

"You also should be in bed. Did something happened?" After a pause, you put your hand on his shoulder.

"You can tell me."

Dazai looked away, hiding his gaze. After a few moments, he spoke again.

"I don't want to talk about it."

He looked like, he was ready to snap, if you tried to pry further.

You weren't planning to do it. You still were building your relationship with BEAST Gang.

But something you can do now.

You stepped closer to Dazai and hugged him.

He was thin. He was tall. He was stiff.

You run your fingers through his hair and squeezed him slightly. You pressed your cheek against the side of his neck.

"If you say so. Just, remember, if you need someone to hear you out, I will be here."

Dazai didn't move. Then he slowly put his arms around your shoulders.

He was embarrassed. Yet, he didn't move away.

You stay like this for a few moments. Then you let him go.

"Good night, Dazai."

Before you could close the door, Dazai whispered.

"Can I stay?"

You turned towards your bed, wondering why Osamu was quiet. Turned out, he was finishing your word cross. He looked up from it and stared at you. Without breaking an eye contact, he wrote down the last word. Then looked at his double. And nod.

You glance at Dazai.

"You can stay. And you..."

You looked at Osamu and rolled your eyes.

"Fine, you won. Scoot over, don't hog all the place."

It took time, but you three managed to get comfy on your bed. You felt the embraces of both males from both sides of you and knew that it was the safest place in the world to be.

Osamu was hugging you from behind. Your back pressed against his chest. Osamu loves to be a big spoon.

Your cheek is pressed against Dazai's chest. You can hear the soft, rhythmic beating of his heart. You rub his back caringly up and down.

Warmth, heartbeat, breathing...

All if you drift off...

This night, Dazai Osamu, Boss of Port Mafia, had a good rest. Without dreams. But he felt safe.

And he was sure in a next day.

[muaviinu]

I was hoping to ask for more og meeting your swap skk au! Or even like the Beast versions meeting your au. I love your art btw!! It’s so so nice and your au is very interesting!

TYSMMMM here is the ada!chuuya and beast!dazai crossover. they’re unsatisfied without their universe assigned personal nuisances, it’s just not the same

[hannigramislife]

Thinking about this has me crying—

So, in Beast, Akutagawa grew up in the streets, right? Realistically, how literate would he even be? In the manga, his report was really simple, and he did talk to Astsushi about getting paper and books, but suppose that he couldn't read.

I imagine him learning that Kunikida is a teacher, and although he was a math teacher, Akutagawa goes to him and asks if he could teach Akutagawa to read properly, fully complete and complicated sentences.

Obviously, Kunikida thinks it's a great idea and will help, but seeing how focused Akutagawa is about it, he asks, "What brought this on?"

And Akutagawa is quiet for a moment, before he looks down, saying softly, "Oda-san is writing a book."

[yandere-romanticaa]

The way in which these two would love you would be so different and yet so similar. It's like a coin, different sides but at the end of the day it's all the same.

Atsushi is sweet, kind, attentive. He stalks behind you like a little puppy, constantly waiting on you and craving for your approval. He holds the door open for you, pays for your meals - despite him being very much broke - carries your groceries and even walks you home! He's such a good friend, isn't he? Lord forbid you actually work in the same building as him because that would be a mess. The first few floors don't even belong to the agency so it's become a daily occurrence for Kunikida to drop by and drag the young man back upstairs by the ear, a string of apologies coming from both of them.

Atsushi is smothering to the point of being a nuisance. But he makes it impossible to tell him off because he's just that pathetic. You're terrified of breaking his heart and deep down you know he's a good person. His insecurities just eat him up so much, it's almost impossible to stay in his company. The constant whines of "I'm so pathetic and useless" are like nails on a chalkboard. All you want to do is rip his tongue out.

That is a sentiment which Akutagawa shares with you.

Unlike Atsushi though, he hardly ever speaks to you. If he even manages to let out a grunt that's considered a good day. Because he does lead a somewhat private civil life, you could have met him when you were out in the town. His sister likes you, it was so good to see her act like a normal girl for once. He keeps you around for her sake even if he personally finds you beyond grating.

Why are you so nice to him? Stop trying to butter him up, he's this close to shredding you up. He daydreams about the ways he could kill you but the thought is banished the moment he sees you smiling.

Not even a thousand suns could compare with the sheer radiance he was hit with.

All you did was give him a genuine smile and he was head over heels. He just didn't know it or refused to admit it.

Akutagawa is uncomfortable with the fact of just how similar he becomes to Atsushi as time passes. Much like the weretiger he starts to tail you, becoming your second shadow. Unlike the in your face Atsushi, Akutagawa watches closely from the darkness, doing all the little things you can't or are too tired to do. He even breaks into your apartment sometimes, cleaning it from top to bottom.

In his eyes he is doing you a favor while not realizing that you are absolutely mortified.

In their own special way, they love you. Being kind to them is a double edged sword. Give them a finger and they'll take an arm. That is just the way they are.
