Tangled Up In Moonlight

Aka Dazatsu fic where Atsushi was taken in by the Old Port Mafia Boss until the man turned on him. And was later found by Dazai, locked under the Port Mafia building.

Just Dazai listening to Hirotsu talk about Atsushi and thinking “you’re the one who lost a son that night, weren’t you?”

Because maybe there was a time when the Old Boss loved his son. But that love turned into fear into anger.

He destroyed the only meaningful bond he had. And sentenced him to a slow and painful death. He lost whatever love he had for him. And yet here’s Hirotsu talking about Atsushi with nothing but fondness.

Even as his eyes are full of grief.

The Old Boss merely pretended to be torn up about it but Hirotsu was devastated.

Listen guys I know we all like to think of our favorite queer pairings as married, but in Japan gay marriage is unfortunately illegal, now this isn’t some that has to effect your fanfics, but I would actually like if we as a community acknowledged it more. I just think it’s more impactful if the characters had to struggle with the biases of some of the people around them. It would make the characters situation more relatable, and it would also make for interesting plot for the fic, even if it is just a side thing. For some of the ships it might even make for interesting cultural shock, like with Ranpoe, since America does allow gay marriage in most states, while Japan doesn’t it would probably make for a funny interaction. My point is while homophobia and discrimination is unfortunate, it doesn’t mean we have to ignore it in stories, and pretend that it doesn’t exist at all. Idk man I just want some of my fics to be more interesting and this is one way to do it.

Edit: this is not for those who write stories mainly as escapism. If what you want in the story is to play around without the shit called homophobia, then you do you.

Edit: I wanted to say that, this could also very well be used for crack, considering canon BSD, and not an AU where they aren't all criminals. Just imagine, Dazai in a wedding dress, using a machine gun to take down the government officials who won't let him have his wedding with Chuuya (or whoever you ship him with). It also kinda depends on what year it is in Japan

JOIN THE MAFIA - Chapter 1

Fic: Open My Eyes to Everything by Zinder_Fox

[katsu-not-found]

Are there any Dazatsu fics that you can recommend reading? I've tried finding some but not all are really great so I thought a second persons advice might help.

Hi anon! Of course I can but I dont really read recent fics on ao3 so they are probably a bit old but! I'll put author recommendations instead who writes dazatsu and example of the fics I like from them so you can check them out yourself!

First is @looking-for-stray-dogs or planet_b612 on ao3. She is like, the goddess of dazatsu fanfics if you ask me because she captured their characters perfectly in my opinion. I think there's not any dazatsu shippers who dont know her but here is one of the fics I like from them. It has getting back together trope which is rare for dazatsu.

Second is @blchwaaaan with the same username on ao3. They are specialized in writing angst, but their fluff is top tier too. This is one of their dazatsu fluff I like, and this one is the angst one.

Next is @mamichigo though they are currently not actively writing for bsd anymore but it's worth checking them out. Here is one of the ones I like from them.

@ladytective is good too. They are samuela on ao3 and not really active now but still updating their ongoing series that I really look forward to. They write romance with humors but still will make you clench your heart with the fluff and light angst. This is one of my fav!

Their friend treetrunkdaddy also write good dazatsu but I forgot their tumblr (sorry!) but this one is example of their fics.

@datura-foxglove is not an active author anymore too but their dazatsu is worth checking! There are some on their blog but there are some on ao3 too. This one is one of the fics I like.

The rest I'll put my recs to the fic only because I dont know or not sure of their tumblr handle😅😔

Tangled Up In Moonlight

Hirotsu mourning Atsushi in secret. He couldn’t even speak the boys name but he never forgot it. He kept Atsushi’s memory tucked away with the other friends he’s lost.

Little did he know Atsushi was still alive. Crying out for someone, anyone to find him far below. Too far down for Hirotsu to hear him.

[the-port-mafia]

My Dazatsu Week entries. I had hoped to do at least 4, but ended up doing 12😳 It was a lot of fun😆

Day 1 - Coffee shop/Soulmate AU bounded by destiny Dazai’s eyes widened in surprise. “I never expected to meet you.” The majority of people never got to meet their soulmate. It was a rare occurrence that only a select few ever got to experience.

Day 2 - Band AU Best Kept Secret Dazai leaned over the couch and read one of the tweets and grinned, “Atsushi’s partner must be amazing! #couplegoals”

Atsushi nearly leapt off his seat from fright. He hadn't heard his boyfriend come home. "Osamu, you nearly gave me a heart attack.”

Dazai kissed Atsushi’s cheek and climbed over the couch to cuddle up beside him. “Our fans would be the only ones having a heart attack if they knew the truth. Like, look at the username of that account - 'ihatedazai'. They wrote, ‘It's obvious, whoever it is, they're the best person for Atsushi. They make him incredibly happy!' If only they knew it was me.”

Day 2 - holding hands we're not like that "How long have you been dating Atsushi?" Chuuya questioned.

Dazai nearly tripped over his own feet at the question. “What?! I’m not dating Atsushi-kun.” He hoped the blush wasn't noticeable on his face.

Day 3 - Sunset It Began at Sunset Dazai had become pretty distant from Atsushi, so when he receives a message from his boyfriend saying 'they needed to talk,' of course he's going to think the worst.

Day 3 - High School AU Gossip "Why would Dazai-sensei date someone like Nakajima-sensei?”

“Akutagawa-senpei, you've got to have noticed the way Dazai-sensei looks at him.” Higuchi happily sighed. She wanted a relationship where someone would gaze at her with even half of the admiration Dazai had when he looked at Nakajima.

“Tch, if anyone is sneaking looks, it's Nakajima-sensei.” Akutagawa didn't understand why most of the students were so invested in finding out if Dazai and Nakajima were dating.

Day 3 - Amnesia I want this life Dazai ran his hand through his hair but stopped when he felt something cool on his finger. Dazai's eyes widened in disbelief when he saw a gold band on his ring finger. It couldn't possibly be a wedding ring? Was Ranpo pranking him? Was he still annoyed with Dazai for stealing one of his snacks, and was this his little act of revenge?

Day 4 - sic fic Fever Confession When Dazai calls in sick, Kunikida sends Atsushi to check in on him. Day 5 - Beast AU future is bright Since Dazai triggered the singularity that connected him to the other universe, he's been having a difficult time thinking about anything else. Being able to read the memories of the other Dazai and seeing how happy Atsushi was in that world made his heart ache. Dazai had never seen his Atsushi's smile shine so brightly before, as he did in the memories of the other Dazai. Day 6 - Reunion Deal Breaker Atsushi had never felt so nervous as he stood in front of his new boss, Mori Ougai. When he first heard that a member of the agency had to transfer to the Port Mafia, he could hardly believe it, and he would never forget the silence of the agency when Fukuzawa announced Mori had chosen him. Day 6 - Reunion give me a sign “I don’t know how I can keep doing this, Dazai-san.” Atsushi buried his face in his hands. “I'm trying to be strong and hold on to hope, but I've heard nothing.”

“If I just knew if you were alive…” It would give Atsushi the strength to keep going.

Day 7 - Post Canon I will tell you as many times as it takes for you to believe it “Just tell him.” Ranpo commented as he skimmed through a report.

“I can’t do that, Ranpo-san.” Dazai mumbled.

Ranpo rolled his eyes and put aside the report he was reading. “And why not?”

“Atsushi-kun doesn’t like me in that way.” Day 7 - Free Day Isn't he pretty? “Dazai! That’s the boss of the Port Mafia.” Kunikida whispered harshly.

“But more importantly, he’s my boyfriend.” Dazai beamed. “Isn’t he pretty?”

[carbonateds-oda]

it gen baffles me that kunidazai isn’t more popular than it is bc I lit thought theyd b the main ship when I first watched it, even after chuuya got introduced I thought it’d at least b pretty even to skk

[dea011]

(dazatsu goes to the doctor but dazai is jealous of the kind receptionist - w.i.p. 536 words)

“I’m glad they’re treating you well, but it’s almost too well.” he huffed. A confused but amused laugh leaves Atsushi as his head tilts softly to the side and corners of his mouth perk up. It was too tender of an expression, Dazai couldn’t help but be captivated. “But… It's not like I’m possessive or anything. Everyone looks at you with such bright faces, I can’t help but want you to smile at me too.”

“You’re so immature, Dazai,” Atsushi teased. “I smile at you every day, even more than you know.”

“Forget about it, it’s nothing.” Dazai flusters and continues to pout while dramatically swooping one leg over the other.

He’s just thankful for the lightened mood as they wait to be called on. Some time passes, occasionally with a nurse craning their neck from the hallway past the reception desk. The realization dawns on Dazai that he didn’t think to bring anything for the waiting room. He had been so wrapped up in the doctor’s visit he forgot the classic wait time before it. Dazai didn’t mind just passing time, he often would get lost in his own thoughts when alone waiting for the train. Right now though, he was not alone. He was sitting, doing nothing, with another man next to him also doing nothing. Whenever he and Kunikida were waiting together, the other would always pull out his notebook to scribble down next year's hourly agenda. With Atsushi beside him, the two were staring off into space together. Somehow, Atsushi still looked bubbly as his gaze drifted over the speckled ceiling tiles. Being unoccupied, secluded, and waiting in silence sat next to another man… Felt gay.

It didn’t help that nearly everyone shot them a glance before shuffling off to continue the whisper chain. It’s not like the air around them was littered with sparkles and rays of pink light which framed them in a shoujo-esque way.

Looking again to his company, Atsushi’s eyes were catching light in the most brilliant manner. His two hues appeared to shift as the gleam on his eyes glistened even under the artificial ceiling lights. If one were to get lost even closer to his face, there would be rich purple speckles dancing around his iris with shining gold trailing behind. With a quick peek towards Dazai, Atsushi’s eyebrows perked as he blinked and turned to face him.

Window blinds not far past them were hoisted up and blasted the back of Atsushi’s head with natural white light. His mouth parted as if going to speak, revealing a subtle gradient of pink to red over chapped lips. The bottom one froze in hesitance, and grazed against his teeth.

“Dazai?”

He flinched at the onslaught of light as a small apology came from across the room. Forcing himself to accustom his eyes to the radiant glow unable to outshine Atsushi, he sputtered out a “huh” and a “what?”

“Is there something on my face?”

“No, why?” Despite asking, Atsushi wasn’t prepared for that answer. He rushed to turn straight ahead, unable to meet the other’s eyes. A blush crept up his cheeks as he couldn't find anywhere around the room to rest his gaze.

“You were staring.”

[zinder-fox]

I was talking earlier about angst and Dazai committing suicide as part of that. And the following little drabble-thing was spawned from there. (So you can blame @the-port-mafia if this makes you sad. 😁)

I'm throwing this up here because I'm not planning to write a full fic for it, so if you're feeling particularly inspired by this, feel free to do so yourself. I'd love to be tagged in anything that comes out of it!

(there's angst and mention of suicide, so skip this if those bother you.)

"You know, it could be much heavier angst to have Dazai not kill himself." -me, before breakfast this morning.

On the surface, Dazai not killing himself is the opposite of angst. And yet, one could have both. To have Dazai make a promise to Atsushi that he would not try to kill himself anymore. To have to fight against both his baseline desire for death and the added desire to do so after a tragedy strikes, after Atsushi dies. To try to figure out how to live to honor his promise. Living, for Dazai, would be the ultimate agony.

You can also make it worse.

Because Dazai is only human after all. No matter what the name of his ability might imply. One day even he would lose the struggle to keep his promise. Is it days? Weeks? Months? Even years? It doesn't really matter. Everyone had accepted that Atsushi was gone, was dead. Everyone knew he wouldn't be coming back. Even Dazai accepts it eventually. Just one more grave he visits. Oda and now Atsushi. (Would he have them buried near each other? Would he want to be buried there himself?)

But what if Atsushi wasn't dead? Wasn't gone? What if his death had been staged so he could be taken captive, hidden away, experimented on, tortured and abused? What if Atsushi breaks himself free all that time later, only to find that he's too late. That Dazai is gone.

There's something to be said for the poeticism of Atsushi killing himself here. But that's not really in his character, to me. Atsushi wouldn't be the kind of person to commit suicide himself.

So instead, maybe he loses control. Loses the will to control his ability any longer. Lets himself be overtaken by a wild beast entirely. Gives up on living for himself. Atsushi has lost everything he wanted to keep in his life - his freedom many times over, his sanity, maybe even his humanity under experimentation, and now the one person he had come to view as truly safe, as his.

And so he gives in. He lets the tiger have free reign over his body. Lets it have a chance of its own to live.

There's something poetic that even when Atsushi would want to die himself, he can't bring himself to do it. He would instead live on, mind locked away behind the facade of a mindless beast. To live so that his ability can also stay alive. It isn't even a conscious choice he makes - it is all just instinct.
