Ranpo’s (Un)fortunate meeting with Mori and the Heartless Mafia Executive! (Ranpo in my Souheki Roleswap! AU)

previous part.

⚠️TW: murder, assault(?), torture, sadism, masochism⚠️

After being beat up badly at the theatre, Ranpo was brought to a doctor that was also there for the play, his doctor's coat was as white as snow, in contrast to his dark hair and eyes: his aura was eerie, it grounded him with an irrational fear, the boy showed no signs of being afraid of doctors or hospitals before, or anything related to that, the man walked closer to the couch the boy was on, smiling; "Hello, Ranpo-kun, I'll be your doctor for today." And that's when it hit, that guy wasn't any ordinary medic, and he was sure the guy knew that, given the sinister smile he had, "My name is Ougai Mori," he had begun speaking again, his predatory voice had the boy on alert, his body was ready to rush out the door, should the doctor do anything risky or highly suspicious, he was prepared, he did not feel safe there. Ougai crouched a little so his dark hair brushed against Edogawa's face, looking at him rather seductively, his cold fingers touching his now very pale cheeks, "What's wrong? You look like you saw a ghost", Ranpo didn't know how to answer that, he wouldn't, as he was aware that the words from his mouth were filthier than need be, he only shifted his position to secure his legs on the bed, he backed up a bit from the medic slowly, Ougai moved his hands and reached for the tools he needed to clean up the blood from the kid's face: moving an inch felt as if it would make the world collapse, even breathing, so he stayed dead silent, seeing how brute and sketchy the guards treated him, even if only by a stare or a sigh, he deduced he was a mafia doctor, Mori was too busy humming an unrecognizable tune while sorting through his utensils to notice anything, so much so that Ranpo could almost walk out the door, almost, "Where are you going?" He froze in his tracks, eyes wide and glued to the floor, managing to acquire a calm attitude before turning around, a little smile on his face as he adjusted his hat, "The play's starting, can we go, mister?" Mori agreed and they made their way to the theatre after the wounds were stitched, Mori walking alarmingly close to him, happily humming.

In their seats, Ranpo couldn't help but yell out the answer in complete frustration, Mori, instead of scolding him, encouraged his outburst and simply patted his head in understanding: as the murderer on stage finished his speech, Mori stayed on stage throughout and mentally picked Ranpo apart, inserting the idea that those too foolish to understand him, those who dared to argue back and question his intelligence, should be silenced eternally: cut to the theatre being filled with dead silence, crimson wine staining everything, from ceiling to stage, a blade shining in the spotlight; "I knew you were a natural, Ranpo-kun!" The boy's previously glowing emerald eyes saw in a withered, lightless green, emotionlessly,

Ranpo Edogawa, a twenty-six year old Executive working under Mori, is specialized in interrogation and assassination, is known to have masochist and sadistic tendencies towards himself and his enemies: frequently resorting to torture for self-enjoyment, even he is under it himself, he does not show the least bit of displeasure, critizing and debunking their means and such instead, an avid lover of switchblades and knives in general (curtesy of Mori), prefers to go on missions with either Chuuya or alone, them being an exceptional team in the Mafia for their effectiveness and success, he's rather nice to the redhead, if the annoying bickering is put aside; apart from one-on-one combat, he's surprisingly athletic, shifting from rooftop to rooftop with ease, loves taunting his persecutors before torturing and killing them off, moving onto the next bloodbath to be executed flawlessly. His life outside of work is one of a cat and dog lover who often visits animal shelters and a particular library owned by an occult enthusiast and a famous American mystery novel writer, who offer him sweets as he reads the day away, often being the last one to stay in the library, helping out as they close up for the day and waving goodbye; still, even in the Mafia, he's the most apathetic towards human life, not caring who lives and who dies, who's innocent and who is not, they are all the same to him, shedding blood without blinking: despite this, he could be described as childish and generous by outsiders who aren't aware of his line of work, maybe even sweet.

Happy Valentine's day 🫠

[ascian-kay]

bungo stray dogs is so funny because I don't think so they understand what the word 'rival' means cuz these bitches be dying for each other, committing crimes, helping them become better and stronger, protecting and killing for each other, living each second thinking about them and then go ahead and call each other 'rivals' lovingly yeah sure.

[scrimblyscrorblo]

Ranpo and Poe are the types who enjoy movies by pausing every 10 minutes to talk about the plot and characters — or in Poe’s case also, the writing and the cinematography

They’re a nightmare to watch movies with literally anyone else Mushitaro only sat w them once cuz he was curious about them analysing one of his favourite movies

[oikasugayama]

bsd men chart: if you flirt with them??

this one is all over the place lmfao. Now including Bram!!

Ranpo and Mori know you're flirting but will only flirt back if they can get something out of you (Fyodor could also go here). Dazai, Chuuya, Tachihara, and Nikolai know you're flirting with varying degrees of certainty, and are flirting back to have fun/get with you.

Sweet precious dumbass Poe, Atsushi, and Oda don't really know you're flirting but are so nice in return that it seems like they're flirting back. Poe hopes you're flirting but is so in his own head that he doesn't know.

Junichiro, Ango, Akutagawa: They don't know you're flirting. Junichiro is nice back but obviously not flirting. Ango is formal. Akutagawa might give you a weird look and not respond.

Bram and Sigma have no idea what's going on. Bram knows a little more about seduction than Sigma, but it's fairly outdated so he's still not sure. Neither of them flirts back, but Sigma is more polite if he responds.

Kunikida vaguely knows you're flirting but doesn't return the sentiment. Fukuzawa, Mushitaro, and Fyodor know, and Fukuzawa either deflects or politely rejects you. Mushitaro looks you dead in the eyes and says "ew" LMFAO.

Fyodor was hard for me to locate on the y axis bc he's not my mans, but ultimately I don't think he's flirting back, he's too busy. If he does want you though he's just taking you, he's not really flirting and playing.

Ranpoe Week 2023 - Day 4 - Style Swap !

Expect the clothes don't fit (⁠｡⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠)

[invidiia]

p! perfect crime trio + 💗💗💗Yokomizo😍😍 with young foreigner t! Reader>>>

Y! P! Ranpo Who always introducing Japanese snacks and food, candy ect.

Y! P! Mushi who brags about all the good things in Japan. Coming to the food, fashion, or whatever he deems "good" (in his Wikipedia it's says he stuck up so bear with me.)

Y! P! Poe (who's probably js as confused as you are when it comes to Japan) Who's taking class's on your mother of tone and (being the rich white man he is, he is becoming some what fluent)- and hired a private chef that's specialize in your cultural food!

Y! P! Yoko (OMGGG ILYSM) who's gotten you tons of pretty kimonos/yukata(I'm pretty sure it's okay if a foreigners wear it from what I researched) and pretty hair accessories. Oh how he loves it when you let him show you how to do your hair traditionally in hair pens and others stuff. Especially when you guys are matching in outfits so why not let him do your hair?.(And would love it if you showed him some traditional clothes from your home land!!!) -🐧

EEEEEE I DO LOOOOOVE THIS...

I LOVE MY PERFECT CRIME TRIO!! (plus yoko)

MUSHI BRINGING READER TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS FAVORITE PLACES, NO MATTER HOW EXPENSIVE... ABSOLUTELY BRAGGING ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT'S GOOD (or at least what he deems good), i can also imagine him overhearing yoko ask you about your own cultural customs like clothing and food, and then going to ask you about it, even though he already heard.. HE JUSTS WANTS TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU :(

poe being just as clueless as you when it comes to japanese culture.. usually sitting either pretty close to you or listening from afar while you talk to either yoko or mushi about it, just so he can learn too! i'd assume he learned some from ranpo, but STILL

ALSO i saw your other ask and i was so confused because i didn't remember getting this ask at ALL, however tumblr didn't eat your ask, i just didn't see it because it got buried 💔 IM GLAD I SAW THIS NOW THOUGH!!

[incorrectbungou]

Mushitaro: “Is this your plan B?” Poe: “Technically, this is plan P.” Mushitaro: “Plan P? Is there a plan M?” Poe: “Yes, but I marry Ranpo in plan M.” Ranpo: “I like plan M.”

[akutasoda]

Hello! Its the person who requested the avpd hcs a good while ago, i was wonder if you could follow up with Tecchou, Nikolai, Poe, and Mushitarou? (Maybe fyodor if mushi is too hard to write for in this scenario)

Thank you so much!

please talk to me p2

synopsis - you are everything to your lover, but you just couldn't see why

includes - nikolai, poe, mushitaro, tecchou

warnings - gn!reader, fluff, slight angst, feelings of insecurity, social anxiety, wc - 1.2k

a/n: hello again!

nikolai gogol ★↷

you had most likely met nikolai as being a fellow member of the doa. you never intended this to be your affiliation but when approached to join you felt compelled to in fear of letting them down, even if they may be one of the worst groups you could've joined.

you two were stark contrasts. he was very open and outgoing while you were closed off and very socially anxious. however they do say opposites attract so that must be why nikolai tried so hard to befriend you after taking intrest. but you never ket people in that easily. it also didn't help you held no trust toward any colleague.

after you befriended him you would've still been asked out by him as you were too scared to ruin what you had managed to obtain so far by confessing and potentially getting rejected, especially after how much you had to try and trust him. he did find your shyness quite endearing up until it affected you day to day.

definitely make sure to compliment you more often, although somehe gets carried away and bombards you whichh makes it worse. he acknowledges this and tries his hardest not to. but he thought it was ridiculous you couldn't see why he loved you so much!

so through the whole time he would try and fail to subtly build up your self-esteem. his attraction to you was because of who you were and seeing you constantly doubt yourself and be so self isolated made his heart break. how could you think so lowly of yourself? you were amazing!

edgar allan poe ★↷

similarly, you most likely were offered a place in the guild and being too afraid to disappoint or anger them you agreed. thus meeting poe. the guild was quite a larger group than you expected but you felt too bad to turn around and leave now, especially because you didn't want them to criticise you for backing out.

however you unusually felt naturally attracted to him and despite your obvious adversion to becoming close with people. perhaps it was because he was naturally as quiet as you so you never felt as if he would test your social anxiety. but sometimes you felt you only annoyed him by naturally gravitating him.

when he picked up on this he did quickly stomp out that idea and said he did enjoy your silent company. this still brought little calmness in your thoughts but you both knew that couldn't be helped. eventually, maybe painfully slowly, you two wpuld come to terms with feelings no matter how awkward both of you were.

he still would have to make the first move however. mainly because you had feared constantly that one of the first friendships you had would turn to nothing if you tried to advance it. and you were still very unsure whether he didn't want to see you or not.

due to both of you being rather awkward in such situations, you both would try your hardest to make it work and help eachother. but it would be very slow but full of affirmation and nothing but positive compliments and comments.

would take it slow with you, for yours and his. but wouldn't stand you constantly feeling bad about yourself, you were the greatest thing in the world to him and he wanted you to see why.

mushitaro oguri ★↷

meeting mushitaro was most likely through yokomizo. yokomizo always would push you to try and atleast overcome some social anxiety and offered you to meet his friend as a starting point, too afraid to disappoint yokomizo since he tried so hard for you, you met mushitaro very reluctantly.

you always tried to avoid being criticized and or disappoint those around you, so naturally mushitaro's attitude was definitely a put you off at first. you cared very much about first impressions and you didn't like that he always seemed so judgemental, making you assume the worst.

now mushitaro would be lying if he said he loved your anxious, shy state. he did find it slightly annoying but you were friends with yokomizo and he could tell he definitely dragged you into this. garnering a bit of sympathy but then he realised how difficult it could be for you in things he could do with ease.

would probably take a very long time for you to actually start a relationship let alone a friendship with him and he most likely had to be the one to ask you out. you had feared constantly that one of the first friendships you had would turn to nothing if you tried to advance it. especially because it took you so long to understand him.

but through the whole time he would try and subtly build up your self-esteem, afterall he did have very high self esteem. he obviously was attracted to you because of who you truly were and seeing you constantly doubt yourself and be so self isolated made him break.

but he knew if he pressed to much it would make it worse so that's why he would do it subtly although sometimes he couldn't help it. hoping to eventually bring you out of your little habits, even if he was a little forward at times.

tecchou suehiro ★↷

similarly to jouno, you probably met tecchou as a hunting dog. you constantly needed to do your best as to avoid disappointment in others, soon leading you to becoming of such a high position. he would notice your lack of interaction with fellow hunting dogs, only talking when absolutely necessary, but never commenting on it.

however he did feel naturally attracted to you and despite your obvious adversion to becoming close with people, but in honesty he was somewhat the same. sure he may of been a bit more social than you but he never got thag close to people and rather kept most at just being acquaintances.

he would've made the first move due to you would've been too scared to ruin what you had managed to obtain so far by confessing and potentially getting rejected. he did find your shyness quite endearing up but heavily disliked how it stopped you from doing things as he wanted to show you how special you truly were.

he would definitely make sure to compliment you often and if he noticed you feeling particularly bad ine day would make sure you stopped thinking and would try and take your mind of whatever was troubling you. although he kind of becomes hopeless to help you as he isn't that emotionally intelligent.

you both chose to take it slow with because as said before his lack of emotional intelligence sometime would do little to soothe your worries. so you both would need to find time to find your footings. but wouldn't stand you constantly feeling bad about yourself, that would always be a no go.

BSD + Pokemon Pt. 2 (Guild + Special Division + Extras)

Yo. I'm back. XD And I have moreeeee as well as some extra folks

Guild

Fitzgerald: Persian (Three words. Rich man vibes. Anyways.)

Louisa: Noctowl (Basic, I know, but it just feels fitting for her. Not to mention, the Pokemon twists its head 180 degrees to increase intellect, similar to Louisa able to use her ability to its fullest as long as she's alone in a private room. That, and owl, and she uses a quill to write. What's more to love? [sidenote, it's actually a pretty big birb, this birb's at least 5". *it's taller than me by an inch or two.*)

Margaret: Altaria (Margaret's ability is basically wind, Altaria might be the closest thing to something related to wind/the sky. And to be honest, I'm kinda proud of this one. I thought Margaret's was gonna be hard, but each time I keep thinking back to flying Pokemon, fluffy cloud birb came to mind and just "done. dusted. stop here, that one.")

Hawthorne: Aegislash (Not my best, once again. Given Hawthorne's ability and his person, I couldn't really find one best suited. Not to mention his ability is quite specific. So I had to go with the fact he could use his ability as bullets and a shield. Offense and defense? Why not change the bullet part to a sword? and boom, Aegislash.)

Twain: Swellow (At first I was gonna go with Talonflame, but then I saw Swellow. And then I keep running into more bird Pokemon. The only reason I stuck with Swellow was because [looks back at bulbapedia] yada yada yada- "It never misses its targets". Compliments his ability well.)

Steinbeck: Arboliva (Terrifying olive tree and the only one I could think of that could fit Steinbeck's ability. Siderant: I ran into these guys when I first played Pokemon Violet, and it was so ANNOYING. I hit it. It hits back. Harder. AND THEN IT SELFHEALS. "But Lavender, you could just run-" It was a trainer battle.)

Lovecraft: Tangrowth (Going with Lovecraft's... [looks at bsdwiki] uh- hm... non-ability, with him able to use his tentacles, Tangrowth does the same with their vines. And similar to the tentacles able to regenerate, Tangrowth losing their arms doesn't trouble them.)

Herman: Wailord (*Gestures at Moby Dick* Need I say more?)

Poe: Corvisquire ([ . . . ] Look it was either going to be a raccoon [Zigzagoon], a cat [none fit the "black cat" aesthetic except maybe Litten], or a bird [Corvisquire or Murkrow]. My guy already has Karl, he could be the Zigzagoon at default, and there are no Pokemon related to books hhhh, so he gets a bird.)

Lucy: Gothorita ([inhalesss] [exhalesss] My first choices was Banette. [looks at Q]. My second choise was Magearna. [looks further down this post]. Then I see Dollive. [Looks at Steinbeck's Arboliva]. Of all that I can manage through skimming serebii's national pokedex, I came across the Gothita line. At first, I felt bad that it was sort of a last ditch plan for Lucy, but looking at the two together, they sort of compliment each other? Maybe? And yes, Gothorita specifically.)

Special Division

Ango: Reuniclus (Just like Mori, I had trouble with this one, but in which aspect. His occupation or his ability. In the end, I grabbed a small aspect of his ability where it does quite the mental strain on him, and this Pokemon line [or rather the second evolution] has that brain aspect. Other than that, though, I have thought of Klefki [for some reason???], Munna/Musharna[what is with these pokemon-?], or just any psychic-type Pokemon.)

Tsujimura: Darkrai (Now I know what you're thinking. "WHY GIVE HER SOMETHING OVERPOWERED?" Well, not only is Tsujimura's ability Yesterday's Shadow Tag something similar when it comes to shadows and Darkrai *is* shadows, but the thought of it comes to the fact that she got her ability through her mother, just like Kyouka with Demon Snow. The idea of someone having such a powerful ability/Pokemon in their hands but is ultimately nerfed due to the fact they're inexperienced, or in Tsujimura's case, unable to control it.)

Taneda: Espeon (Don't know much about the man, but his ability lets him know the nature of another's ability upon its activation. So my guy rolls an active perception check. And of all that I've seen that could "sense intention" were either Raltz/Kirlia, Lucario, and Espeon. And I was tempted in choosing Espeon not by bias, but that they passively have perception check running [odd words there, friend-]. And ye owo)

Extra

Mushitarou: Phantump (Ignoing the Pokemon's pokedex and the implications of a Phantump coming to be, the little guy just keeps reminding me of Mushitarou's little ghost buddies of his Perfect Crime ability. So have the little guy. It he.)

Ayatsuji: Magearna (Yup, pulling these guys up. Again, I don't know much of the other light novels, but I knew enough by the fanwiki. And one thing in particular I noticed besides Ayatsuji being a detective was that he likes ball-jointed dolls. So, Magearna! And to be honest, this Pokemon was what I had in mind to give Lucy but... yeaaaahh that went well-)

Kyogoku: Ghastly (I went all out, 'cos I pulled up articles for this one. Not only is Kyogoku's ability "Possession Drop" said to be of a Yokai Possession, I went to see about Pokemon that are based off on Yokai. And it says here that Ghastly are based off from "Onibi" or just souls that turn into small flames that wander, detached from their bodies. And reading about Kyogoku, it makes sense. Oh, and that generally ghost-type Pokemon are capable in possessing people.)

Next up will likely be DOA and the Hunting Dogs with a few more extras weeeeeeee

[shangdragonsthief]

So, Wisdom Saga might be my favorite one yet. I absolutely adore Little Wolf, just as I knew I would. I had so much fun taking my partial AMV and using the full song to make a full AMV. God Games is next since I have it partially done. This is Aya’s time to shine.

[startemis0]

Please Asagiri, give me a light novel in an alternative universe where Ranpo was recruited either by the Port Mafia or the Decay of Angels instead of the ADA and where we get to see how everything would have been changed if he was on the other side of the battle.

Fanfiction writers this is also a cry for help I'm begging you !!!

Also, another universe where Ranpo, Poe and Mushitaro are criminals (The Perfect Crime Trio) and the Agency tries to arrest them, this would be so FUN.

[rightcrowlung]

Edgar Allan Poe SFW alphabet (gn!reader)

ALL CREDITS GO TO @the-coldest-goodbye FOR PROMPT LIST !!!!!

Note: I don’t know if I’ve been spelling Poe’s name ‘Allan’ or ‘Allen’ 💀 reminder, oneshot portion is always in italics 👍

————————————————————————-

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

Edgar has ok memory, but only when it comes to certain things. As mentioned above, he remembers almost everything about you, but normally because he’s written them down somewhere. His thoughts are usually all over the place and he’ll remember some of the most random things. For example, he’ll remember what colour shoes you were wearing for a date 1 year ago, but if you ask him what he had for breakfast he wouldn’t have a clue.

Edgar had woken up before you, having a burst of inspiration for his book. It was a slow day today, so by the time you woke up, it was close to noon.

“Angel?” Edgar called out to you in his usual lovesick way. He peeked in your shared bedroom to find you sprawled across the bed, with the sunlight perfectly cascading across your figure.

You turned your head to look at him, already having a goofy grin spread across your face. You marvelled at him in the nightgown you had purchased for him a couple months prior. You took special interest in the way the gown exposed part of his chest.

Edgar glided over to you, before gently sliding over you. His slender fingers curled around your cheeks as he leaned in to kiss you. You both giggled into the kiss as if you had no care in the world, before your lover slipped down to rest his head on your chest.

“Did you need something Edgar, darling,” you asked while stroking his hair. Your head was slightly elevated by pillows so you could get a good view of him. Edgar smiled at the pet name, one that you picked up from him.

“I was going to order food, shall I get your favourite?” Edgar asked, before listing off your exact go-to order with ease. You knew Edgar had patchy memory, so you were surprised that he was able to say your order without any mistakes. He blushed at the look of shock, while moving off of you.

“You remembered,” you said with a gentle smile.

“Of course, my beloved, I remember everything,” he bragged, holding a hand to his chest confidently with a teasing smirk and wink. You rolled your eyes playfully at the obvious lie.

“What’s Francis’ favourite colour?” You asked smirking.

“No idea,”

“What’s Mushi-kuns least favourite weather?”

“How would I know?”

You looked at Edgar, shaking your head as the smile made its way back to your face. He mirrored your expression while reaching for your hands.

“I thought your memory was perfect?” You teased.

“Perhaps I try to remember things about you a little more,” he blushed, returning to his usual self.

You hummed before reaching for his arms. He looked at you confused, before you gab gently pulling them to rest around your shoulders, just as he liked. You reclined into the pillows, pulling your lover down with you into a long slow kiss.

You would order food…

Eventually.

————————————————————————-

So I want everyone (especially @midwoodbender ), to imagine Poe in this gown 😔✊

[durnijj]

perfect crime trio 🍭

[cloudfishh]

This. This is the post that single handedly got me back into bsd, so much so that i decided to make a comic out of it!!!

Now that i kinda lost interest in the franchise and in making the comic itself (it would take waaaaay to long with the way i spaced it out) i think this will be my last bsd post for a while :)

Dw tho!! I'll prolly get the bsd itch again someday and come back!! This is not goodbye!!

But for now...

See ya!!

Mushitarou and Poe continue their co habitation post DOA arc and Mushitarou starts like vent posting on social media about his weird roommate and their annoying boyfriend. the posts get kinda popular and eventually Mushitarou ends up letting something slip somewhere that leads to people connecting this weird roommate to hit American Mystery Writer E.A.Poe who randomly moved to Japan and hasn't been heard from since and the internet looses it's fucking mind
