#bungou stray dogs alternate universe

[cryingovernothin]

In an AU where Dazai and Atsushi met before and Atsushi never met the ADA, Dazai would definitely gatekeep Atsushi from the rest of the ADA. Like he would yapp on and on about his gorgeous, kind, loving husband and nobody would believe that Atsushi actually exists.

The Hunger Games | soukoku |

Dazai and Chuuya are from District 2. Fukuzawa is their mentor who never talks about his games. Ranpo is their District Escort. Dostovesky is the President. Nikolai is a Telvision show host. All is great in Panem. Why do you ask?

(This fic includes Trans female to male Chuuya. If you don't like it, just don't read it.)

The Untold Origins of The Port Mafia

“War has a way of blackening all it touches, doesn’t it?” - Fukuzawa Yukichi

“True, but it is from the deepest of darkness that the brightest lights come” - Mori Ougai

Great roaring fires that blaze, bright and strong, choosing either to gently guide others into the light, a place of healing, or ignite a path through the dark and lead those same broken souls to victory, whatever sacrifice it may require.

-------------------------------------------------------------

This is a long fic. It is a semi-role swap AU that restarts canon by going back 15 years before the start of the main series and asking what would happen if Fukuzawa had joined Fukuchi when he was deployed to Tokoyami Island to fight in The Great War. Who would he have met? What would have become of him? And of Fukuchi?

Will a dark beginning lead to an even darker end?

Along the way Fukuzawa will meet a doctor, an angel, an author, a genius and many, many others. Read to follow their journeys as they twist and turn but eventually end up right where they're supposed to be.

Originally posted on my other blog @knockyasocksoff2022 where my other fics and BSD content are. I just felt like it deserved its own blog because it got so long and I want more people to see it because I'm really proud of it. Sorry if the summary was cringy af. I was trying to make it sound like a real book summary, and not give spoilers.

This fic is my baby, I've been working on it since January 2024. I wasn't even going to post this until it was done, but I'm lacking motivation and I want to know if people even like this so screw it!

There are 20 / 30 chapters finished right now, so if you'd like it finished pls, pls, pls leave comments and likes. I need motivation to continue.

Update schedule is whenever my brain gives me sudden bursts of inspiration, but comments always help me remember to keep going so those are very welcome.

My friend @whoishalf and I have been talking about a BSD AU with Dunmeshi and I've been sketching ideas for the races of my favorite ADA characters. In this AU they are a secondary organization to the Canaries but are famous for admitting members of different races into their organization.

In this AU (sigzai as one of the main ships) Dazai went to an unknown dungeon with the intention of looking for the edible and poisonous monsters to find a quick and effective death, on the way he found a snake creature named Sigma who is instantly interested in testing his poison, Sigma is pretty weirded out of the strange human that crossed his path.

On the other hand (Ranpoe obviously) Ranpo is part of the canaries but is more interested in reaching the bottom of the dungeons and revealing the mystery of their creation, he joins the party of his childhood friend Poe who is an academic magician Interested in studying the dark magics of the dungeons of the world, against his will Ranpo joins his little party and they have adventures, I guess. I hope to create more things for this silly AU

i fucking love AU fanfiction because like sometimes i sit there like "HOW did you come up w that. WHAT."

[aunnokokyuu]

what if YOU were a poor little animation studio who kept straightifying the very homosexual moments between a tiger and a malnourished victorian child in order to make the anime more appealing to the general public. but THE MANGAKA HIMSELF said NO here’s a scene where said malnourished victorian child sensually bites the tiger’s neck while he’s transformed as a vampire and U HAVE TO ANIMATE IT THIS TIME BCS ITS IMPORTANT TO THE PLOT!!! now bones if you straightify that scene like you did to akutagawa telling atsushi to run you fool then you can trust that i’ll find you more than you trust in god

kinda pirate au? it would be so cool like, can u imagine shit that would be going on there? ✨amazing✨

[ohhcinnybuns]

Thinking about 15! Dazai today, and his first failed love confession…

Dazai had thought about it for a long time after countless sleepless nights, his words echoing in his head “that’s what makes me love you” confession. He couldn’t take it… Chuuya’s reaction wasn’t what he was looking for. What went wrong?

He thought and thought and thought, until he finally came to the conclusion that he didn’t approach Chuuya the right way, and that’s why Chuuya shut him down so quickly.

Maybe Chuuya wasn't the type to accept verbal confessions. Yeah, that’s it.

So, instead he tries a new tactic, and writes Chuuya a love letter, leaving it in his work locker, where he knows Chuuya goes every morning for his PM badge and uniform, and he waits.

When Chuuya comes around, Dazai is looking from around a corner, peeking from a trash can, waiting for Chuuya’s reaction. This time for sure Dazai’s love message will get through to him.

Chuuya picks up the letter, flips it over several times, and finally opens it to read it. Dazai’s heart is drumming because those are his feelings on paper, and he tries to tell his slug that he is pretty and that if he were a slug, Dazai would build him a terrarium, and well, it was all love at first sight.

It doesn’t take long for Chuuya to look the letter over, flip it over a couple more times, crumble it, and toss it into Dazai’s trash can, where Chuuya is staring at Dazai with his arms crossed.

Dazai is about to ask him what he thought about the letter when Chuuya beats him to it: “I can’t read chicken scratch, dumbass,” and walks away.

Dazai watches Chuuya’s retreating back with his mouth gaping. Maybe a fruit fly sneaked in while his jaw dropped because he stood frozen in shock for quite some time.

Chuuya didn’t reject him. To Dazai, Chuuya’s words were, “try again, dumbass.” So, he will. Dazai knows how to be persistent.

The Untold Origins of The Port Mafia

This is a fic that goes all the way back to 12 years before the series, it's a semi roleswap Au. You'll see.

Also if you like this you'll probably like the Fyo!Atsushi AU by @nixnephili

This fic is my baby, I've been working on it since January 2024.

If this story goes really well and gets all 30 chapters finished I might make a side blog just for it so people can read without having to scroll to find the chapters.

Part Ⅱ The Doctor, The Butterfly & The Wolf - Chapter 3.2

The Other Brother

912 Words

~ 6 weeks before the end of The Great War ~

Tachihara Shunzen never wanted to kill mindlessly, only fight for his nation and the ideals he believes in. Chief Medic Mori sparing him feels like a miracle. He owes the Chief Medic and Yosano-san his life. If he ever sees them again he'll do something nice for them.

When he steps off the boat back into the port of his home city it feels like coming home from outer space. He kisses the ground, not caring about the stares he gets. He has a family and a 4-year-old brother to get home to.

He hops in the first taxi cab he finds, not minding the expensive price for the distance from the port to the house in the city neighbourhood.

-

He hurries up the drive when he hears screaming.

"Why can't you be a good boy like your brother? What are you here for, just to be a hooligan? Why couldn't it have been him and not you, huh? Why don't you just die?"

Not bothering to knock, he enters the house to find his mother screaming at his younger brother, Michizou, the young boy sniffling back tears.

He jumps in front of his brother just as his mother raises her hand. "Mum? What are you talking about? What did he do?"

She sees him, her eyes widening but she can't stop and the hand crashes against her eldest's face. Having felt much worse, he doesn't flinch.

"Shunzen? You're alive! Oh, thank god! We thought you had died, I-"

He cuts her off, angry, disappointed. "Were you really going to hit a 4-year-old? Why?"

" . . . I–"

"And telling him to just die? Apologise!"

Michizou cowers. He's used to his parents yelling, but not his brother, even if it is in his defence.

"I'm sorry! We thought you were dead! Your last letter was like goodbye . . . and here you are, just fine." The apology is insincere and she's changing the subject.

"That's no excuse!" Shunzen turns to his brother, his face softening, "What did you, Michi?"

Michizou knows his brother wouldn't hurt him. "I got dirt on the floor." He says it with defiance, his big toddler eyes as narrow as they'll go, chin tilted up. Michizou can't bring himself to be sorry. He's gotten so tired of hearing about his perfect brother when he just wants him to actually be here that he's stopped caring about behaving.

Shunzen turns back to his mother, "Dirt? All that for a little dirt?"

Their mother has nothing to say for herself.

Shunzen picks up Michizou and takes him to the bathroom to wipe the mud off his clothes and face.

"Does Mum do that a lot?" he asks, trying to be casual as he takes a gentle cloth over his brother's face.

Michizou nods. "Dad, too. We thought you died."

It's a fair assumption. Given that he was so desperate to be home, the last letter almost sounded like a suicide note and then he didn't get time to write anymore

"No, I'm just fine, and I'm here now. So you don't have to worry about anything okay."

Michizou hugs his brother tightly, ignoring the pain it causes his bruises. He's too happy to have his brother back. Maybe now that he's here Mummy won't be mad all the time?

-

Shunzen sees his brother's bruises when he gets him ready for bed, not trusting his mother or father to be with the boy.

Fingerprint-shaped bruises on his arms from being grabbed, and various other purplish-yellow marks on his back.

After Michizou is safe in bed, Shunzen confronts his parents. He's never been one for making a big scene but he's furious.

"You know I always suspected that maybe he wasn't the favourite, but I never thought you'd do something like this. Is there a reason you've been beating up on him or do you just enjoy it?"

"Shunzen, dear, you misunderstand. He's such a rascal, always misbehaving, nothing like you at all. He'll probably end up a garbage collector or in jail if we don't beat it out of him now"

"He's four. I think sending him to bed early without dinner would do the job." Shunzen walks off, stopping the argument there so his parents don't suspect a thing.

-

They have no idea that anything is amiss when Shunzen wakes his brother. They're ignorant when he packs suitcases with their clothes, toothbrushes and Michizou's few baby books. They haven't a clue when the car starts.

"What are we doing?" Michizou asks

"We're leaving."

"Where?"

"I don't know yet, but anywhere away from here?"

"Away from Mummy and Daddy?"

"Yes. They're not going to stop hitting you. I know you might still love them, but we can't stay. You'll understand better when you're older. For now, you just have to trust me. Can you do that?"

"Yeah!"

"Okay." Shunzen smiles as he turns out of the neighbourhood.

Michizou kicks his feet excitedly, holding as carefully as he can onto his brother's old piggy bank which now contains all the cash that was in the house. Shunzen doesn't relish the thought of stealing but there wasn't much and his parents can do fine on their own.

By the time the sun rises the two boys are out of the city.

Shunzen doesn't know where he's going but it needs to be as far as he can get while still staying in civilization. He's heard of good, easily affordable universities in a city called Yokohama, so he'll start there.

(A/N: I know such a young child probably can't speak that well but I didn't feel like writing baby talk so here you go.)

Bungou stray dogs x The Road to El Dorado AU

Old idea I had, never really fleshed it out tho

I might doodle some more things for it later!

'once this is all over, i should cook for you sometime.'

ok so,,,, bsd beast hadestown au

[mio-san04]

Here's Yosano's design, I was very inspired on Nurse Joy :D

Some funfact:

- Shunzen's pokemon follows Yosano, even though Butterfree isn't actually hers.

- Audino tends to take so much care of others Pokemons in the agency.

|| RANPO EDOGAWA ||

// Altered Page AU \\

Eventually, I'll post an APAU character sheet for him, along with a design analysis/explanation included with it.

More AU info for those interested:

Note : (I saw a couple people on here saying they were interested in my altered page au(and hsr x bsd au—im working on both at the same time), and i have a couple irls who actively get on my ass about working on it haha, so that was enough to give me the motivation to start working on it again and making more drawings for it... expect a lot of au related artwork ^^)

The Altered Page AU(APAU) is my own bsd AU where Fyodor was actually in the helicopter crash, survived, and rewrote The Page to revert, rewind, and change reality to find The Book. This causes several characters to belong to different affililiations(Sigma, Oda, Akutagawa, Shibusawa, Gin, etc), have different backstories(Akutagawa, Atsushi, Sigma, etc), in some cases have minor/major personality changes(Nikolai, Chuuya, etc), and to make different choices than they made from events in canon.

In the APAU, Ranpo is one of the few characters that is mentally the same as their canon counterpart. The other two that are the same as canon are Dazai and Fyodor.

All the other characters do not remember anything from the canon universe.

Out of the three characters that remember canon, Ranpo is the only one that was technically altered by the page rewrite. He is younger via the page writing, but still has the same mentality, knowledge, memories, and mind of his 26 year old self. He is just in a younger(by a couple/few years) body, like almost everyone else in the AU.

Ranpo is on good terms with Kunikida, Dazai, (eventually) Nikolai, and Yosano.

His relations with Sigma, Fukuzawa, and Atsushi are iffy/complicated. For the beginning of the AU, Sigma absolutely hates Ranpo(they may or may not end up dating, haha...) (I am a rarepair shipper. I dont ship mainy mainstream ships, so dont expect skk, fyolai, etc.)

He hates/is enemies with Fyodor and Shibusawa. Possibly Bram, too, in a way.

Ranpo is also one of the characters who suffers the most in this AU. Having several existential breakdowns, getting stabbed on several different occasions, and having to deal with Fyodor and the DOA/Rats actively trying to get rid of him.
