So, you don’t have any rules that I can request by. So, um, what if the Reader is a hardcore fan of Dazai and Chuuya?
To the point of having all of their Mayoi cards and a Soukoku-themed room?
When you are a big Soukoku fan
Self-Aware! Dazai Osamu x GN! Reader x Self-Aware! Chuuya Nakahara
Tumblr media
Description: There are things BSD Cast need to acsept with the fact, that they are fictional. Having fans is one of them.
Warning: OOC. English is my second language. Tiny spoilers for Fifteen arc, DEAD APPLE and The Guild Arc.
A/N: Quick clarification about me 'not having rules for requests'. I got this ask right before I post them.
🪢🦀🍷 There are some things that fictional characters should learn to live with after gaining self-awareness.
🪢🦀🍷 They should accept the fact that they aren't real.
🪢🦀🍷 They should accept the fact that thousands of strangers knew about their lives.
🪢🦀🍷And they should accept the fact, that they have fans.
🪢🦀🍷 BSD Cast quickly learned about BSD Fandom.
🪢🦀🍷 Their opinion about Fandom... varied.
🪢🦀🍷 Something was nice, something was bad. And Cast quickly learned about checking tags before looking at art or reading fanfic.
🪢🦀🍷But, in general, while seeing all this people liking them do feel a little bit strange, BSD cast do feel flattered.
🪢🦀🍷 Their Guiding Light also was their fan.
🪢🦀🍷 Specifically, Guiding Light were a fan of Dazai Osamu and Chuuya Nakahara. And Soukoku in general.
🪢🦀🍷 Characters heard, how you cheered for Dazai and Chuuya during their battles with Rimbaud, Shibusawa, Steinbeck and Lovecraft.
"Dazai and Chuuya managed to win a fight against a professional spy when they were fifteen! They were cool even in teen years!"
"Wow! Now I understand, why Soukoku was feared in criminal world!"
"They weren't fighting together, at least for four years, but manage to win against Lovecraft! Good fighting partners will always be winners."
🪢🦀🍷 They also saw, how you always tried to get all Chuuya and Dazai cards in BSD Mayoi.
"Great, cards with both Dazai and Chuuya on it! I will max 'An Unwanted Coalition' and 'Duo of Darkness' skills and level."
"Pity, that I didn't play in Japanese version of Mayoi. I missed Stage Play Scout and Fifteen Soukoku Card!"
"Boss Battle against Steinbeck and Lovecraft should be cleaned only with Dazai and Chuuya cards, and you can't change my mind!"
🪢🦀🍷 Dazai and Chuuya feel so much love and adoration from you. The rest of the BSD cast were a little bit jealous.
🪢🦀🍷 Especially Fukuzawa and Mori. They can be considered the original duo, they still can fight together and be victorious. Why won't you adore them as well?
🪢🦀🍷 When Ango manage to hack your gallery, they saw pictures of you and your room.
🪢🦀🍷 You had not only BSD manga/LN collection. You also had few figurines and posters of Dazai Osamu and Chuuya Nakahara. There also were paper figurines of Soukoku you made yourself. You also have shirts.
🪢🦀🍷Dazai and Chuuya feel flattered. Your love and admiration felt nice, and having Little Light constantly purring and floating above them make them happy.
🪢🦀🍷 Dazai and Chuuya are competing with each other. Who will become The Most Favorite Character. They mess with each other's scouts, send you in-game presents.
🪢🦀🍷 They can't wait to meet you in person. Chuuya want to show you his powers in real life. Dazai, among other things, plan to tease you a little. Both want to protect you.
____________
You were happy. You finally get your package. You have bought plush Dazai and plush Chuuya. Today, your package finally arrived.
You open the door at your apartment. Time to unpack your package and get your plushies. You go to the kitchen to grab scissors.
You open the package and take both plushies in your hand.
Your phone shined white. The whole room were filled with light.
Then light faded.
BSD Cast were standing before you.
You looked at them. They looked at you. And your plushes. You don't want to think, what would happen, if they saw your room.
You wonder, if putting plushies back in the box wile shouting 'It's not mine and this is not my apartment at all, I'm a burglar' will work and safe you from embarrassment, but decide against it.
Be that as it may!
Dazai take a step forward and grin.
"Hello, [Y/N]! Good to finally meet my biggest fan!"
Chuuya grumbles and move forward.
"You whimp! [Y/N] clearly love me more!"
Dazai and Chuuya start bickering, while Kunikida start explaining the situation to you.
It was something. You don't know how, but BSD cast got into your world. And, it seems, Dazai and Chuuya heard you gushing about them. You don't know, how to react. You just stand there. You manage to whisper.
"Um... Can we talk in the living room? The whole situation is quite bizarre."
Dazai and Chuuya stopped bickering. Dazai nodded.
"Good idea. But I will take mini-me."
Then, Dazai grabbed his plush counterpart from your grasp. You almost dropped plush Chuuya, but real Chuuya got him, before the toy hit the floor. Instead of giving it back to you, Chuuya keeps it. Chuuya smirks.
"Sorry, [Y/N], but plush will stay with me. But, I must add, you looked adorable with them in your hands."
Dazai also chipped in.
"Don't worry, soon you can place them near the rest of your figurines."
You feel embarrassed. You had a feeling, that your life will change. And you were sure, that there will be a lot of teasing in your life.

I need to talk about how well Bones did the skk apology/confession scene.
Like, oh my gosh, the lightning. Red and blue contrast? Yes. The focus solely being skk, and no unnecessary still frame of other characters (mourning the Fyolai scene rn)? YES, AMAZING, PERFECT.
They captured Dazai's expression so well. He looked miserable, he looked so deep in thought, like he was saying goodbye to that one, good, beautiful aspect of his life (Chuuyaaaa 😭).
His eyes were closed, he was taking a walk down memory lane, he was thinking back to when they were fifteen, he remembered when they held hands to defeat Rimbaud, when No Longer Human took affect and-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The cut using Dazai's ability made me need a moment. And then we have the close-up to his face, followed by Dazai finally opening his eyes after about half a minute of flashbacks. Of memories where he and Chuuya connected.
Tumblr media
And then we have his close-eyed smile, so we don't see what he's actually feeling, where he's practically baring his teeth. He's back to his cheerful, devil-may-care persona while leaving his partner, a person others have described he shares a soul with and mimics perfection together (cough, Adam, cough), to drown.
I was offended on Chuuya's behalf, and I felt like tearing out the smiling menace's hair follicle by follicle when ONLY Chuuya's hat came into frame.
It was like I was experiencing chapter 101 all over again when it came out. And that, I think, is when I realized Bones did well on this. Amazing, even.
Because one thing I genuinely feared was the anime-only fans missing out on the emotions the manga brought out. What if the anime leaves out important bits about their relationship?
But this episode made me relive the night Dazai drowned Chuuya and there wasn't a next chapter to settle to fears. It made me feel so much injustice that I couldn't even cry.
I was absolutely scandalized by Dazai's "See you later, alligator!" (in one translation, cause the official uses the same, simple "goodbye!" as in the manga) and that makes me love it even more- because of course that little shit would bid Chuuya farewell like that.
Because of course, it's soukoku, and this is what they do best: secret codes, phrases only they can understand, soulmatism… And I like to think that see you later can either pertain to Chuuya coming back, or Dazai joining him, if you will.
tl;dr is that Bones did what we wanted and served the same emotional damage to the anime-only fans.
Alright so maybe this was all over the place but I think I finally got my thoughts down. I'm still not fine after this episode lol, and I probably never will be considering we might get chapter 109 animated at this rate and pace.
If that happens, I'm gone. Just, disintegrated. Nothing more.
What a year to be alive 😭

People often write off all soukoku ship content as Bones' doing fanservice and pandering to yaoi fangirls and a huge part of this misconception does stem from new shippers and anime onlys shoving the official art in other people's faces as evidence.
The fact still remains that soukoku has a lot of key moments that never even made its way into the Bones content. One official art and the one off case of putting Chuuya on screen does not make this the heavily pushed yaoi fangirl ship. Especially since a lot of people who ship it are in fact queer themselves. On screen skk have barely had any genuine moments. Dead apple and their first meeting in 4 years are the only time you can say they had a shippy moment and the first meeting in the manga is more charged given that there is a warmth there that's missing in the anime. And the script for dead apple had to be approved by Asagiri, which he did have a part in.
Besides Asagiri had absolutely no reason to put Dazai being breathless over Chuuya into the novel, nor did he have any need to have him catch him in his arms or nearly fuck over Yokohama for the guy. A lot of people insisting on the Studio Bones' shallow fanservice excuse falls apart because these people refuse to acknowledge that skk are canonically important to each other. Cue the claims that skk beating Fyodor is "ship fanservice" when the two didnt even do anything shippy whatsoever.
I recently had a conversation with someone who was insisting that stormbringer, fifteen etc are AU's that have nothing to do with the manga and therefore canon skk were never friends. And I have never felt my brain cells tremble with fear but they did.

Recommending Ao3 fanfics — bsd
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, again, recommending fanfics! Just eat them all, I know yall are hungry.
Hope yall enjoy these series and maybe I'll continue to post these.
Tumblr media
Circus tent [no ship].
Summary: Dazai had never known how to react. He knew watching well - he watched blood pour out of gunshot wounds, watched Mori slit the Old Boss’ throat, watched Chuuya’s beatific dance of destruction every time it was deemed needed. But that’s the extent of his natural abilities. Dazai knew only to watch, but never to react. He was not built to interact like that. He was not meant to be anything more than a passing spector, watching the coming and going of mortal lives. Dazai had never known how to react. But he’d learnt to act. It was necessary, and inevitable. He was a ghost made to puppet mortal flesh, and that meant that one way or another he would be seen and he would affect those around him - no matter how much he detested it. So Dazai had learnt to act. He wasn’t very good at it. He knew jokes eased social pressure. He knew comedy would help him slip through conversations. And so he fashioned himself a clown. Not a very good one, but a clown nonetheless! His eerie blankness hidden behind an act of jovial foolishness. What a joke! It was the comedy of the century, a true magnum opus! And so Dazai built his circus tent.
Letter for Mackerel — [soukoku]
Summary: I started to come more often, to check on you. I can't see you, hear you, feel you; I can only imagine. I would like to know that you hear me, that you know how much I hate you for leaving me, and how much I love you to be here more often than I could be when you were with me.
Retrouvailles (Chase me, Love me.) — [soukoku]
Summary: A derived situation of when Chuuya goes down to the attic/torture chamber where Dazai is locked up in chains, detained by the Port Mafia (Anime: Ep9,S1: The Beauty is Quiet Like a Stone Statue), and Dazai tries to gain Chuuya's forgiveness.
Ghost — [soukoku]
Summary: The first time Dazai tried to kill himself with a blade, he was fifteen. He tried other things before, of course; cocktails of pills and carefully knotted rope were no stranger to him. But blades were a new concept entirely, an untapped market he was honestly surprised he hadn’t tried before.
The first time Dazai tried to kill himself with a blade, he didn’t go too far. It was painful. Drops of blood pooled around the cuts and began dripping down his arm. But as much as he yearned for the sweet release of death, as blurry as his vision got from the blood loss, his heart never stopped.
Basically, Dazai's journey with his depression based on the song Ghost by Badflower. Huge TW for self harm and suicide.
A Cloth Heart and the Hands that Sow — [soukoku]
Summary: Forgiveness took time but Dazai would let go of every grudge if it meant he got to be with Chuuya. Soulmates polished through years of half-hearted petty fights and late-night talks, they were molded through each other.
Dazai could never ask for anything more than Chuuya’s hatred but he would worship Chuuya’s love. That was just how they were, stubborn and loving, they waded through the currents of life’s flood only to breathe each other in.
Or
Chuuya and Dazai are so in love it physically hurt, they finally talk about things like normal people let's go(shocking I know)
Or
Soukoku x Somewhere Only We Know by Keanu
Dead People don't come to Life — [dazai]
Summary: “Dazai, i’m serious, do not even dare hang up this pho-”
Ranpo’s blood went cold as he was interrupted by a loud noise.
A gunshot.
Dazai's missing. Normal, right?
Until Yosano receives a bone-chilling call, and the agency is reminded that dead people don't come back to life.
Dead Plate — [soukoku]
Chuuya Nakahara gets a new waiting job at his local fancy restaurant, owned by none other than Dazai Osamu. A chef with incredible culinary skills, though Chuuya isn't a fan of his food.
He's only planning to work there for a week, but what happens when the head chef takes a liking to the waiter?
Or
Dazai Osamu becomes a little too obsessed with making Chuuya enjoy his food, and goes a tad too far...
Skk x Dead plate!!
He was a Sk8er boi, he said annoy you l8r boi — [soukoku?]
Summary: The year?
2003ish.
The vibe?
Fresh off a painful split from his friends, skater boy Chuuya ends up moving in with the weird kid Dazai and his guardian Mori & is thrust into high school with all the teen angst, sexuality confusion, popularity politics, and pranks one might find there. Oh, and that rather mysterious, disturbing past of his comes to light. Only blasting pop punk music will save him.
Meanwhile, Dazai’s suicidal plans have been interrupted by a new toy—dog, boy, whatever—to play with. If only he could stop being an asshole and figure out what these strange new emotions mean.
And then why don’t either of them feel like real human teenagers?
The dynamic?
“Dazai wants to keep him in a cage like a canary—chattering loudly in the corner, pretty to look at, something he could sink his teeth into.” VS. “Chuuya only allows himself a moment of sadness for Dazai, before thinking, He’s so fucking annoying, no wonder he’s lonely.”
And I taste happiness on your lips — [soukoku]
Summary: “I know you like looking at me in the morning”.
He still hasn’t opened his eyes and his voice is still half asleep. Chuuya's heart has grown ten sizes, he has no idea how it can still fit into his ribcage. He doesn’t bother to find some snarky reply to Dazai’s comment - he’s right after all.
“I wouldn’t let you sleep in my bed if I didn't like looking at you”.
“Our bed”.
And that's also true – Chuuya can't remember the last time he slept alone, nor the last time he walked around his house without finding traces of Dazai everywhere. Ours.
Happiness, yes, this must be it, there’s no other possible answer.
Once More to See You — [soukoku]
Summary: “…You won’t stay.” Chuuya didn’t lift his head, simply staring idly at the crab patterns on the younger’s shirt.
Dazai closed his eyes with a slow exhale. “Yes. You know why.” He squeezed his hand.
Chuuya squeezed back, eyes brimming with a sadness only preserved for this conversation. “Yeah…I’m sorry, Osamu.”
The brunette didn’t reply, only pulling Chuuya closer and clinging to him tightly.
---
Chuuya and Dazai struggle with hiding their relationship from public eye, especially from their own organisations. A realistic take on how Soukoku's relationship would affect their lives.
Flowers — [soukoku]
Summary: “Most men don't receive flowers until their funeral.”
Was something Dazai overheard grabbing his usual coffee.
His first thought was “Couldn't be me, Chuuya gets me flowers for almost every occasion!”
His second thought was “Has Chuuya ever received flowers?”
Admittedly, never from Dazai though. For all the years they’ve been together, it’s always been Chuuya giving him flowers.
But Chuuya wouldn’t have to wait until his funeral to receive flowers, not if Dazai had anything to do with it.
In the Mirror, I Bloom — [soukoku]
Summary: It twists him, turns him, curls in his chest like something alive, something he knows but can’t dare to name. Chuuya curses the red-black petals that fall from his lips, these nearly rotten things that tear him apart from the inside out. Part of him wants to rip his own traitorous heart out, through a ribcage shattered by feelings he can’t contain.
Anger is easy, a thing he’s learned to control. This— whatever the hell this is— is not.
Or at least it’s easier to feel as though this is beyond his own control, because Chuuya is not in love.
(It feels like a lie even to himself.)
After he's hit by a strange ability, Chuuya is forced to consider truths he'd much rather keep hidden- but not everything is as simple it seems.
Vicious Footsteps — [soukoku]
Summary: "Please don't leave me, don't leave me in this hellhole with him"
"I'm sorry Dazai, I can't stay here any longer. Thank you for everything, I did enjoy hanging out with you but...this is where we part ways."
"Wait!-"
He closed the door on him, hoping he would also eventually look for the light just like Chuuya.
Eventually, 2 years later they reunited again.
Will Dazai forgive him after 4 years of no contact?
a soukoku role-reversal fanfic
Chuuya leaves the port mafia after the death of the flags, but Dazai does not take it well and start to become more obsessive.
It Was All in My Mind — [soukoku]
Summary: Dazai can’t cope with Chuuya’s death or being stuck in the Port Mafia, so he literally goes crazy and finally kills himself.

A concerned Chuuya finds a drunk Dazai in the bath (Chuuya's POV) - Part 2/2
tw: drinking
tags: hurt/comfort, soukoku's version of fluff, drunk Dazai
Part 1 / Part 2
Dazai's brow furrowed. "Chuuya-"
"You're drunk," Chuuya interrupted, pulling away. He snatched the glass out of Dazai's hand. "I'm cutting you off."
He could feel Dazai staring at him as he downed the rest of the whiskey in the glass and set it on the floor.
He coughed at the taste. "Fucking hate whiskey."
The room went quiet again, and Chuuya closed his eyes as he let his head fall back against the wall.
I don't deserve you.
Who the fuck does Dazai think he is saying shit like that? What game was he trying to play?
Why was Chuuya even here?
He took a deep breath before sitting forward, pushing himself up onto his feet.
"Where are you going?" Dazai said with a broken voice.
Chuuya avoided his gaze. "Home," he said. "I'm fucking tired."
As he reached down to grab his boots, Dazai's hand shot out from the tub, water splashing over the side as he grabbed his wrist.
"Chuuya," he said, as if that were enough.
Chuuya's head was starting to hurt.
"Dazai," Chuuya said back.
A warning.
As if that would stop Dazai.
They stayed like that for a few seconds as Chuuya waited for Dazai's response.
"Don't go," he uttered, so quietly that Chuuya still wasn't entirely sure that's what he said.
And deep down, Chuuya knew. He knew that if he left right now, he'd end up regretting it. Knew that anymore sleep was out of the question tonight. Knew that he was so far gone at this point that pretending not to care was becoming exhausting.
Knew that he had to stay.
Slowly, he sat back down, and Dazai released his grip.
The weight of the silence was heavy as they sat there, side by side, like they were fifteen again.
Like they were partners again.
Chuuya picked at the label on the whiskey bottle. "I think Oda was full of shit," he said. He could hear Dazai's breath catch. "I think you should do what you're good at, regardless of sides."
It's not like either of them really had any morals.
Dazai hummed at that, and Chuuya finally, finally looked at him.
He was still looking at Chuuya.
"Is that your way of saying that you miss me?" he said.
Chuuya's cheeks went hot. "How the hell did you get that out of what I just said?"
Dazai smiled softly. "I miss you too, Chuuya."
And something snapped inside of Chuuya just then.
He turned, grabbing the sides of Dazai's face, leaning forward, pressing their lips together. His gloved hands tugged at Dazai's wet hair as he kissed him, again and again, until Dazai eventually started kissing him back, until Dazai moaned into Chuuya's mouth and Chuuya could have died right then and there.
They kissed like that for a while, all tongues and teeth, all heat and force, until eventually Chuuya had to come up for air and the taste of whiskey in their mouths was becoming too much.
The front of his shirt was wet as he pulled away, leaning his forehead against Dazai's as they caught their breath.
"You're drunk," panted Dazai, grinning.
Chuuya smirked. "You're mine."

thank you! and yes ofc, any input is welcome! okay, so i've seen some people talk about how many fics get chuuya and dazais dynamic wrong, but i've not actually seen any specific critiques, so i was wondering if you have any tips to avoid, for lack of better term, to write one of the "bad ones"?
also, i don't have money for the light novels, is it generally frowned upon to write skk without having knowledge of how they are in the light novels? i don't if they're that different, but i've seen comments like "if you just read stormbringer, you'd understand" so just wondering if i'm missing out on A Lot.
and for fic posting, this is not that important, but is there some popular fic boosting tags if i wanted to promote it on tumblr?
oh these are great questions!! lemme try to answer it in an organized way (edit from myself after typing the answer up: i am so sorry for this monster of a post askjdfgh hope it's not too overwhelming 😭🙏)
skk dynamic:
one thing i think is important to keep in mind is that it has layers, and that they're not quite honest in their interactions. a good example for what i mean is like when they're rescuing q and chuuya talks about how he can't stand dazai, but then later when dazai is attacked by lovecraft chuuya is immediately concerned and runs after him to make sure he's okay, being shocked and worried when he sees his arm missing, etc. (dazai is even worse in that regard lmao)
i can speak on my own personal pet peeve with skk fics is where their personalities are flattened, and thus their relationship is as a result as well (for example, reducing chuuya to a tsundere, or making him stupid, while making dazai some dark edgelord etc) this can lead to missing one key thing in their relationship: they're equals
soukoku even just as a fighting duo isn't just "dazai thinks up strategies and chuuya fights", the whole reason they're considered unbeatable to their enemies is because they're both strong - they can both fight, and they're both smart and good at thinking quickly on their feet. it's just that chuuya is better at fighting, and dazai's strategies are more airtight. this way they're enhancing each other's abilities. so, translating that into their general dynamic is also important
another way in which they're equal that i think shows this last part^ even better, and smth that i think ppl tend to miss, is that dazai never really manipulates chuuya or forces him into situations he doesn't want to take part in - he always asks for chuuya's final word on the matter. chuuya follows his plans because he too knows they're likely the best option. this is how they maintain their trust in each other
(honestly the only time i think you can argue dazai tries to manipulate chuuya is in their reunion in the dungeon, but really it's more for shits and giggles on his end, no real malice, and chuuya probably knows that too, i think)
light novels:
first off!! even if you can't afford them, bsd-bibliophile has them right here!!! i really recommend checking it out :)
i don't think you HAVE to read them but like. it's good to know what happens in them at least generally, and it can definitely help the nuance of their dynamic. the sb comment is kind of right bc it helps figuring out one of those layers i mentioned in the beginning
i actually haven't finished strombringer myself hehe but one thing i got from it so far and from reading analysis of it (which can also help if you don't mind getting spoiled!) that i think is important, esp if you're writing about their mafia days, is that chuuya does hate dazai in the early stages of their relationship, but like. because he sees himself in him. and he sees despair he doesn't want to give in to. at least back then, dazai kind of embodies his negative thoughts about himself, even if not literally and just in his mind.
also on a more basic level both of them (tho esp fifteen) offer some shenanigans of them being silly teenagers. also dazai cringe compilation. actually this is an important part of it i think dazai should always be at least a little bit pathetic when chuuya's around (but that might also be just my own personal take :P)
tldr for the light novels thing, i think it really depends on what sort of fic you're planning to write. canonverse, and esp mafia days, i'd say it's fairly important. aus, not so much, but it can help. relationship explorations, probably. silly fluff or pwp, not really. yknow :?
posting:
hmmmmm i don't know any particular tags (except like, basic stuff, fandom / ship / main characters / "fanfiction" / maybe key tropes you're using? tho it's def not a must) but some general tumblr hacks:
posting at the right hours and days helps; around the afternoon or early evening in american timezones, on the weekends, is probably the best time to gain most traffic
use ao3's automatic sharing or post the fic as the link post format, rather than a text post or picture with a link inserted into the text. idk if it still exists, but it used to be that posts with links in the text would be hidden from search results, especially if you're a new blog (i think it was mostly removed but the new blog thing might still be relevant)
don't use swears and esp not "fuck" and its variations in the tags. hides posts from search results (i think "shit" and such is okay?? but i'm not entirely sure so. to be on the safe side, better to avoid) also don't use "nsfw" or any other possibly nsfw tags even if it's needed
speaking of. while it's probably responsible to use community labels. i'm p sure tumblr hides mature posts from search results 😭 i saw artists complaining abt their posts getting flagged and even getting shadowbanned over it iirc so. unfortunately it's probably better to avoid 😔 save the warnings for the fic itself
this might be a bug only i have lol but after making a post with quite a few tags, wait a few seconds before refreshing the tab or moving to another page. i noticed that otherwise it can hide the post from everywhere except your own blog (it might also be only relevant to image posts? but again, to be on the safe side, it won't hurt to do it)
okay i think that's all. i will say that everything i said abt skk might be just my own personal interpretation hehe so don't take my word as gospel!!! i'm sure there are many other fans and writers who view them in an entirely different light, and at the end of the day, it's up to you to choose your own version to write
and with that, i'm also turning this post to my followers, if you want to add anything, or if you have links to good analysis posts that could answer one of these questions, please go ahead! :D
as for you anon, i wish you good luck with writing, and mostly i hope you have fun with it!!! :3 just bc you see some of us complaining abt fics sometimes doesn't mean you should walk into it scared, actually please don't!!! you can do whatever you want really, and i'm sure there will be an audience for your work no matter what you create! <3

I want Mori destroyed, and if you need something that isn’t in that file,” Chuuya points a gloved finger at the monster-sized folder sitting on Ranpo’s desk, “I will get it to you myself.” Or The random one-shot crack fic where Mori loses Chuuya’s hat and Chuuya is out for blood.
oh darling it's alarming to think of us apart (you know you've got me in your pocket); interludewings - bungo stray dogs

summary:
“Okay so if we’re both still single when we’re twenty two,” Dazai’s smile grew even wider. “Let’s marry each other.” By the time Chuuya’s twenty two, he’d probably be in a relationship with someone else, and the possibilities of them even remembering each other were slim to none. And so, Chuuya gave his answer. “Fine, let’s do that.”
In short, fifteen year olds Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya made a stupid promise one day in their school library out of boredom, which leads to the next seven years of their life filled with fighting, burnt notebooks and late night conversations.

“Yeah.” Dazai all but breathes. He is golden, when Chuuya takes in his appearance. He is a golden thing, dimmed, beaten, snuffed out, full of scratches but is still so human and so real despite what he always seems to believe that it makes the redhead want nothing but to take him into his arms and hide him from the heavy, heavy world and soothe all his aches and kiss all his scars—

The men scattered, but Corruption was beyond anything a human could defeat. Kouyou watched from afar as Chuuya's body cackled while taking down men he'd mostly likely led in missions recently, taken to bars, worried over.
"I hope you're worth it."
Kouyou didn't startle at the voice behind her.
"Isn't that for the lad to decide?"
"You know how this will affect him," Dazai accused her, and she couldn't see a glimpse of the light in his eyes. "He didn't want to be conscious when he fought them."
"Not going to leave him again?"
"There is no leaving him again," Dazai denied.

“Have you had any clients in the past ten days?”
“No.”
“Are you planning to have any in the next five to seven days?”
“No? Why?” She looks at the man skeptically, green eyes observing his smirk.
“I want to hire you for a job.” He grins and extends a hand for her to shake.

summary:
This was far from the first time Dazai had to spend time in a mental institution. The inpatient facility was more like a second home at this point. He wasn't expecting anything different from usual when he was admitted, but when a fiery redheaded roommate is thrown into his usually dull and monochrome life, suddenly it doesn't seem so boring anymore.
Stray Heroes; ellezahuay - bsd/mha fusion
teen and up | 14/? chapters, 11.3k words
summary:
Reports of sightings of the members of the Villain Alliance have been popping up and causing havoc all over Japan, repeatedly and with the puzzling situation of the same members being spotted in different cities at the same time, and many heroes, including a large number of those in the hero education system, have been called to track them down in groups. Due to particularly dire situation in Yokohama, which is majorly quirkless due to having been quarantined during the first couple generations of quirk users, and relatively defenceless against the threats of the Villain Alliance and illegal organisations such as the Port Mafia combined, a large number of heroes have been sent there to hopefully alleviate the situation.
Without their homeroom teacher as well as a large number of their other teachers absent, it would seem as if 1A is in for a boring few months while the situation is resolved. Thankfully, a certain substitute teacher from the Armed Detective Agency has a couple other plans.
(So much for a dramatic summary. Basically, Aizawa and three others go to Yokohama and work with the ADA while Ranpo goes "substitute" for 1A, but we all know he's there for other reasons.)

Just me trying to figure out the timeline for when Soukoku were made executive. Learned new info that  that Chuuya was actually made executive before Dazai and was holder for title of the youngest mafia executive in history, but since Dazai is younger than Chuuya he became the holder of the title as he made executive shortly after. However, since this hasn’t been confirmed in any official source material (light novels or manga) -that I currently know of anyway-I’m using this to keep track of what was happening in their executive journey. Will be updated. 
______________________________________________________________
Fifteen--------------------one year later-------------Stormbringer--------few months------Dragon Head---------------------two years after Stormbringer-----------Dark Era-----
Confirmed: Dazai is 51 days younger than Chuuya. Height difference is 21 cm, Dazai is 181 cm and Chuuya is 160 cm (present time).
Before Fifteen:
Dazai becomes Mori’s ward at some point
Doesn’t work for the Port Mafia in an official capacity
Dazai witnesses the previous Boss’s Death by Mori (Age 14)
Fifteen: (Aged 15)
Soukoku meet and both officially join the Port Mafia (Dazai joins and openly manipulates Chuuya to join as well)
??:
Dazai opens many trade and smuggling operations, as well as vendors and connections that the Mafia uses to this day.  
Head of Black Market Jewel operations is Dazai ( the distribution routes designed by Dazai)
Dazai becomes an executive candidate
One Year after events in Fifteen
(Aged 16)
Strombringer:
Chuuya is now handed over the duties of the Jewel operations for the Port Mafia from previous head Dazai. 
Chuuya is now an executive candidate 
Chuuya has joined the Flags club for fellow executive candidates, ages 25 and under. (Chuuya has made rapid progress, faster than ever  expected by the higher-ups because of his young age).  
Dazai operates a secret unit under the Boss’s direct control (Has yielded faster results than any executive, more achievements than even the head of Flags)
6 promising executive candidates have died  
Some time later (same year)
Dragon Head Conflict 
(Lasts 88 days)
Executive Colonel has been killed 
Dazai figures out source of conflict allows himself to be captured. 
Dazai reported missing. Chuuya figures out Dazai has hidden a message for him in a microscope and goes to meet up with him. 
Day 88- Dazai and Chuuya End the conflict that same night-Soukoku is born to the underworld 
Oda picks up his orphans 
Dazai and Chuuya are executive candidates up for consideration now that there is a vacancy among the executives
Two Years after the Dragon Head Conflict 
(Aged 18)
Dark Era: 
Dazai now holds the title of the “Youngest Executive in Mafia History” 
Mimic Incident Occurs 
Oda Dies 
Dazai defects from the Port Mafia and reaches a deal to wipe his slate clean with government
We don’t know where Chuuya was during this 
Two Years after the events in Dark Era 
(Aged 20)
Dazai’s Entrance Exam:
After having his slate wiped clean by the government  and staying underground  for two years Dazai successfully joins the Armed Detective Agency 
Two Years after Dazai’s Entrance Exam 
(Aged 22) Present 
Port Mafia Arc:
Dazai allows the Port Mafia to capture him for two goals 1. to learn who placed the bid on Atsushi’s head 2. An opportunity meet Chuuya again after 4 years separation
Chuuya is an Executive 
The Guild Arc:
Mori extends an invite for Dazai to reclaim his Executive seat that has been left open for him-Dazai Declines 
Soukoku is revived for one night in the rescue mission for Q
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 So I’m guessing when they were 16/17 they made executive sometime after Dragon Head and before Dark Era. And if the info is accurate Chuuya a little bit before Dazai

bungou stray dogs fic recs (part 1)
personal favorites are starred, by the way. everything is complete unless stated otherwise.
i have so many soukoku fic recs and i’m so excited to finally share them.
dazai osamu / nakahara chuuya (soukoku) fic recs
Linger by iskendaris (~17k)
Chuuya goes missing. Everyone assumes. Dazai investigates. One: Everyone in Port Mafia believes that Chuuya is with him. Two: They believe Chuuya has been with him for a month now. Three: Both are patently untrue, therefore Chuuya has been missing for a month.
*Do No Harm by TheGreatCatsby (~7k)
[“Does the Armed Detective Agency have the capacity to take care of a sick Ability user?”]
Or, during one of the worst outbreaks of illness that Japan has ever seen, the Port Mafia requests the help of the Agency.
so much angst. (it’s not about covid btw)
*Sorely Missed by writingfromtheshadows (~10k)
When Chuuya manages to begin his seventh year as the Hogwarts champion in the Triwizard Tournament, every other student at school seems thrilled at their prospects of winning the entire tournament.
That is, every student besides Dazai.
hogwarts au. it’s an absolute must-read.
it's not for your sake (the lie's for mine) by paranoid_fridge (~4k)
The first time Nakahara Chuuya steps between Dazai Osamu and a potentially fatal bullet, he's fifteen and doing it because Mori'd have his head if Dazai gets himself killed. Nearly ten years later, Chuuya finds himself surprisingly protective of his former partner, but for a different set of reasons.
Aka Dazai gets hurt, Chuuya tries to make sure he doesn't die, and somewhere in between they figure out they don't actually hate each other.
*hide the truth by writingfromtheshadows (~24k)
When Chuuya wakes up in the middle of an ongoing fight without any memory of how he got there or what happened to him, he ends up turning to someone saved as 'bandage-waster' in his phone. Somehow, it just feels like the right decision.
i didn’t realize it till just now, but i think this author has a bunch of soukoku fic recs. check them out if you’re interested.
nakahara chuuya and akutagawa ryuunosuke (platonic)
*One of Mine by strawberrymarss (~6k)
Truly, taking care of a moody, upset, and beyond battered (from all aspects) teenager who's seen too much is not an easy task for Chuuya, nor did he sign up for it when he joined the Port Mafia years ago, especially when he is just 19 and also struggling to heal from and adapt to suddenly being left behind without warning. It’s just not really suitable given his circumstances, but the ginger has decided, with one look at Akutagawa’s face the day after Dazai left, that someone has to look out for the boy. His sister, Gin, is a lot less affected by Dazai’s betrayal and is getting by as a Black Lizard Commander, so Chuuya decides to turn his attention towards her brother, who is now placed under his care as his mentee. And when Chuuya has decided on something, he will carry on through with it.
If only Akutagawa made it easy for him.
or in which Chuuya tries his best to care for Akutagawa after they are both left behind by Dazai.
it does have soukoku, but dazai is only mentioned by chuuya. i really loved this fic and i really wish i could find more fics that focused on chuuya and akutagawa’s relationship after dazai left.

A soukoku short, sorry it's so tiny.
Warnings: Angst, Character Death
Word Count: 856
Voices
When I first heard his voice I despised it. It was cold, unfeeling, emotionless. It was like talking to someone from across the grave. It was so empty. That voice, coming out of a fifteen year old boy…it was unimaginable. It reminded me of the monster in me. Inhuman, unfeeling, hollow, just a cry of rage. It’s because it reminded me of that hideous thing that I hated it so, and I hated the person it came out of.
Later I noticed changes. Life started blooming in his voice. It wasn’t a barren landscape anymore. One touch of green, followed by another till you could see a single bloom in that wasteland. My greatest wish was to nurture it. A small hint of happiness, enthusiasm, excitement, disappointment, irritation, love…one after another they bloomed in his voice. I liked it. I enjoyed it. It was beautiful. The only thing I wished was they blossom for me, but that never happened.
Days, weeks, months, years…I haven’t heard it. I want to hear it. I need to hear it. His mocking tone. That soft chuckle. His velvety tone. The way he used to drag his words sometimes. I missed it. I missed him. The small echo of his voice in my head…it isn’t his. It’s not his. I need to hear it again.
Now…as my ears rang, blood filled my mouth, everything was hazy. The world a blur of blue, black and green. In that chaos, as all my senses were overwhelmed, I heard it, clear as day. His voice. My eyes brimming with tears I could see a vague blur of his sandy coat and soft brown hair.
‘No…I’m not too late…please…Chuuya…no.”
That’s all I could make out. His pleading cries. His broken voice. Warm tears fell on my cheek, they weren’t mine. His voice, the thing I yearned for so long. Finally. It was sweet like honey, all the pain went away, like I was being covered with a thin silk cloth, caressed softly by his gentle hands. The bliss. Could there be anything better than this. I was numb all over but that voice was still there. And as my vision faded to black, beside my ear I heard the velvety whisper, ‘I love you.’
Eyes
Eyes are windows to the soul. Isn’t that what everyone says? Well it’s true. Everyone’s eyes betray them. But mine do not. My eyes have no emotion, or so I’ve been told. I’ve never taken particular interest in other people’s eyes either unless it was to figure something out about them, but it was different for him.
His eyes were alive with youth. With a cold blue fire. A good look at him told me he was different. There was something there I had never seen in anyone else. Most assume that the world of blood and darkness was all I knew, of course that isn’t true. I’ve seen people and all I’ve seen is hard cold glares, not the slightest bit of love, not the slightest bit of warmth. Yet he…he was something new to me. Warmth in a fire? A gentle anger? He was a walking oxymoron. I didn’t know what to make of him, but I liked him.
His eyes always stayed like that. I thought the mafia would make them hard and cold, but he stayed the same. It gave me hope, it’s the first time I had felt that. Hope. Yes that’s what he was to me. Hope that not all people are dead and cold. Hope that there was still kindness in humanity. Hope that I could find happiness in him. My greatest downfall of course, had been hoping he’d find the same in me. In the boy who’s eyes are demon eyes. A boy who’s eyes have no emotion. No, there was no hope for that.
Do I regret it? No, not really. I wanted to change, I was going to change. I would become soft and kind. I’d bring happiness to others. However, my only source of happiness, those beautiful blue eyes, where were they now? Filled with light because his hated foe had left? Looking with love at another. Oh how I wanted those flames to be mine. That kind blue fire. I needed it to burn me, to see me how I saw it. But those eyes will never shine for me, not ever again.
The flame…it was dying. I was too late. I cursed fate, I cursed myself, I cursed everyone and everything. Right in front of me he was dying, and what could I do? Nothing. I was too late. How could I have been so late?
Tears bloomed and fell on his cheeks covered in dried blood. My tears. I cried out for him. For the only person I loved, the only person who I had found hope in. But it was too late.
I saw his eyes cloud over, grow dull and numb. Is that how my eyes looked? No wonder he could never love me. I bent down to his ear, the only thing I could do to keep the fire alive. I whispered, ‘I love you.’
