Shin Soukoku (my personal favourites)

The Sexual Awakening of Akutagawa Ryuunosuke by Otakumikulovinggamer4life | Explicit | 5k

Atsushi and Akutagawa have been in a relationship for two months but haven’t gone any farther than light kissing so what happens when Atsushi unintentionally kickstarts Akutagawa’s sex drive?

Striped by AliceinHyruleBastion | Teen | 8k

Atsushi found his soulmate.No big deal.Until he comes into work one day with soulmarks on his face and the office demands an explanation.

SSKK soulmate AU shenanigans with a dash of battle, sass, and angst on the side!

It’s really hard to put whatever they have going on into words.

Acts of Affection by Miss_Aki | General | 2k

Atsushi has a strange request for Akutagawa, and they manage to grow closer because of it.

Nakajima x2 by Chilled_Mango_Beans | Teen | WIP | 16k

Nakajima Atsushi and Nakajima Ryunosuke were twins, born into the slums and saved by the Port Mafia, a clan of ruthless members who wouldn’t hesitate to kill anyone. They at first considered it a miracle, when a certain someone prevented them from getting killed by members of the mafia and took them back with him, but after being trained by the infamous double black and living with their new ‘family’ for a few years, they were beginning to realize that the life they are living…..meant death for them.

OKAY THIS ONE LOOKS WEIRD AND IT PUTS ME ON EDGE BUT IT IS SO GOOD I SWEAR T^T

Soukoku

Slice of Life by setosdarkness | 2K | Teen

Dazai is baffling, to say the least.

He flirts with every single person he meets and proposes lover’s suicides every five minutes or so. But then he also always shows up to work with an impeccable bento, always goes home at five o’clock sharp, always turns down all offers for dates.

The most popular bet in the Agency is that Dazai and his lover are running away from a group of shady people. But that’s not possible… Is it? *ugly sobbing* I love this fic so much. Domestic!Soukoku, with Chuuya as Dazai’s angry smol husband.

Drop the Act by writingfromtheshadows | 5K | Explicit

If Dazai’s fingers slid any further down Chuuya’s restraint might completely collapse, and he grasped for something to say that could be a valid excuse, “Why would I want you anymore? Your goody two-shoes act puts me off.”

“It’s just an act.”

(or the one where Dazai’s been a Port Mafia spy all along)

SINSINSINSINSINSINSINSINSINSIN Beautifully written, incredible characterization, and super hot. Enough said.

Five Times Dazai Didn’t Stay, and One Time He Did by Me! (like, seriously I wrote this.) | Mature | 4k

Alternatively, Dazai and Chuuya don’t really know how to deal with sexual tension, and Chuuya doesn’t think it’s fair that he’s fallen in love and that Dazai leaves every time they share a bed.

I don’t like a lot of fics I write. This one though? I think this is the best fic I have ever written besides that one Death Note fic a while back.

Right and Smile by @carlynagisa | Mature | 10k

Dazai was intrigued by Kouyou’s new disciple. Fascinaton grew into fondness, friendship, trust.

Chuuya was his, ever since they were children Dazai owned him after all. At least for one night.

Soukoku throughout the years.

If you didn’t already know, I read this when I’m mega depressed and need perfection to make me feel better.

The Courtesan by @cinnamondazai | Explicit | 11k | WIP

Moulin Rouge AU with Chuuya being a courtesan working for an establishement run by the Port Mafia. Dazai is a private detective invastigating some kind of case and Fyodor is Chuuya’s patron.

It’s a choice. But he doesn’t want to choose at all. What will he do?

Musings by crimson_snowdrift | General | 2k

Dazai lets his mind wander as a certain redhead uses his lap as a pillow.

*screaming in background because fluff and angst galore*

And here’s more fic recs before I lose my mind because I’m going to go re-read all of these T^T

atsushi stared at the book case at the far end of the office. his work was done minutes ago, but kunikida wasn’t there to recheck his papers.

so there. he stared, and stared, and stared, with his chin on his palm, his elbow on the table.

in the glass he could see the rest of the agency moving around—ranpo eating another sweet, kenji arranging the binders on dazai’s desk, naomi handing a document to her brother, kyouka getting a book from ranpo’s desk and leaving to show it to the president.

in the glass he could also see a young boy moving around—reading a thick volume by lamplight in the library after sleeping hours, an adult in white garb dragging the young boy by the hair along an empty hallway, the young boy’s face being pushed into a basin of water, an injection glinting evilly in the dim light.

atsushi suddenly sat up straight, his knees banging against the underside of his desk.

“atsushi-kun?” kenji asked.

atsushi shook his head, immediately masking his face with his trademark smile as the rest of the agency looked at him with concern.

.

.

.

he and kyouka walked home together, holding some bags of groceries that would supplement them for a week or so. their silence wasn’t uncomfortable, but it wasn’t nice either.

kyouka knew that atsushi was being silent on purpose. she bumped into him softly on multiple occasions so she could prompt a response from his, but so far all she got was more silence.

it unsettled kyouka, but if he decided on that, then maybe it was best to leave him be.

.

.

.

kyouka had gone to sleep earlier than him.

not that he wasn’t trying to.

sometimes atsushi despised sleep. it is a time when he’s the most vulnerable, not only to night time physical attacks, but to emotional and mental attacks as well—the attacks that would never leave a mark on skin but will keep on coming back relentlessly to haunt him and kill him softly inside.

he rolled around for the nth time, until he sat up, and fished out his phone from under his pillow.

he scrolled through his contacts, until he found the one he was looking for.

.

.

.

akutagawa squinted, as the bright light emanating from his phone screen was too much for him at two in the morning. granted that akutagawa barely sleeps because he’s always busy with missions and such, but this time he was tired to the bone, and deserved to return to his house and sleep in his comfortable bed for once.

he read atsushi’s sudden text message blearily.

i’m coming over.

he made it a rule to atsushi once they became partners to never go to his house unless necessary (a rule that was bent over time, since atsushi liked testing rules and akutagawa).

reluctantly, he pushed himself out of bed. he moved around the space quietly, so as to not awaken gin, who was fast asleep in her own room.

he moved to the kitchen, where he started brewing tea.

tonight was going to be a long night.

.

.

.

the fact that akutagawa lived in an urban high rise in the rather ‘elite’ part of the city still hasn’t sunk in atsushi’s brain. maybe it was because of the contrasting images being presented to him (a murderer, a Port Mafia associate calmly sipping tea on the 19th floor of a sleek, urban condominium, watching the city traffic below him) that makes it so hard to accept, or picture even.

the night was rather chilly, and atsushi thanked his intuition for making him wear his warmest pullover, a black blob of fashionable wool that cost him almost a third of his earnings, and black sweatpants.

(i look like him, atsushi thought. he smiled, though momentarily.)

he stared at the door for a long time. the shadow that he casted from the LED lights above seemed to move and form scenes too familiar to atsushi.

the shadow molded into a young boy kneeling on a tiled floor. in front of him was an adult. tears fells down from the young boy’s chin, as the adult opened their mouth to speak.

atsushi blinked, and it was his shadow again.

he knocked once on the door, before it clicked and swung open.

akutagawa nodded wordlessly, his mug of tea still in his hand.

“come in.”

he set his mug down on the coffee table, and walked over again to the door.

atsushi stepped in, removing his sneakers at the genkan. akutagawa held out his hand, and atsushi accepted it readily.

once, atsushi would be reluctant to hold someone’s hand, even akutagawa’s. but now he’s holding onto one as though it was his lifeline, pulling the other gently for a hug.

atsushi buried his face in akutagawa’s pullover. he smelled like jasmines, clean bedsheets—home.

“the couch, or my bed?”

“bed, please,” atsushi replied, his voice muffled. akutagawa walked slowly with uncharacteristic gentleness, tugging atsushi softly.

when they reached the doorway of akutagawa’s bed room, atsushi made a nose dive for the comfy thing, then patted at his side, urging akutagawa to hurry up and cuddle him.

akutagawa followed, lying down beside atsushi, making sure he was facing him.

atsushi moved closer to akutagawa, until his face was buried in the crook of akutagawa’s neck. his hands found themselves on the front of akutagawa’s pullover, crumpling the cloth in his balled fists.

“alright, what’s wrong?”

when atsushi didn’t reply, akutagawa wrapped his arms around him on impulse. he pressed a kiss to his forehead.

“what’s wrong?”

“can’t sleep,” atsushi muttered, staring into the material of akutagawa’s pullover.

akutagawa hugged atsushi tighter.

“had a bad dream?”

“no…”

“bad memory?”

“…yeah. sadly.”

atsushi intended that the last word was sarcastic, however he wasn’t yet that well-versed in the art of sarcasm. akutagawa’s body stiffened the slightest bit, and his grip around atsushi tightened again.

“is there…anything i can do?” akutagawa said, his voice barely a whisper.

atsushi realized at one point in time that akutagawa needed a purpose in life. his purpose then was getting acknowledged by dazai. then, when he did get dazai’s acknowledgement, it switched to growing stronger than before. such prospects were childish, simple, but it meant much for the mafioso. if he wasn’t given a purpose in life, than what use was he in the world?

“nothing, really.”

“nakajima—”

“just stay with me until i wake up.”

akutagawa sighed in relief.

Sorry it’s a little late! I’ve been playing dream daddy been really busy!

The Sexual Awakening of Akutagawa Ryuunosuke by Otakumikulovinggamer4life | Explicit  | WIP | 5k

Atsushi believes he's gotten pretty good at reading Akutagawa and deciphering his emotions under that stoic mask.

And right now? The mafioso's smokey eyes were blown wide, an animalistic glint in his eyes, face looking almost awe struck. He licked his lips and Atsushi surmised that, based off of his personality, Akutagawa had probably gone his whole life ignoring the development of his sexuality and bottling up said lust that comes with it, but right now, in this moment, it just exploded.

And Atsushi was the reason. That was both fortunate and unfortunate for said man.

Ummm... Shin Soukoku first time fic? Plus possessive Atsushi? And Dazai being a little shit? SOLD. But also very explicit. *shrugs*

Atsushi found his soulmate. No big deal. Until he comes into work one day with soulmarks on his face and the office demands an explanation.

*Gurgles.* This fic is so cute. I think this made the whole idea of leaving marks and colours my favourite soulmate AU. Also includes Atsushi pushing Akutagawa out a window, so please enjoy.

coffee foam by kiimeme | Teen and Up | 23k | WIP

Peach Avenue is one of the most famous coffee shops in Yokohama. Except the main baristas are all gay and easily lovestruck.

When the baristas- Gin "too single to be alive" Akutagawa, Chuuya "end my pain" Nakahara, and Atsushi "give me a break" Nakajima- start to interact with the workers in a neighboring flower shop, they all can't help but fall in love.

And the future hits them all like a steaming cup of coffee.

Ummmmm... fluffy soukoku? CHECK. Cutesy shin soukoku? DOUBLE FIVE HUNDRED FREAKING CHECK. My lovely gay girls, Higuchi and Gin? ONE THOUSAND CHECK.

I’ll call your name by deluminous (galahart) | Teen and Up | 2K

“Of all places to discuss the case,” Atsushi said as they made their way back to the busy crowd, voice getting louder with every step as he fought to compete with the noise around them. He had finished his chazuke not long ago. “Why a summer festival?”

“Has it not occurred to you that I'm taking you out on a date?”

Oh. Oh.

Aka: My favourite Shin Soukoku fic ever. I’m such a slut for awkward Akutagawa trying to reach out :P

back on their feet by meganexrock

“I…think we should kiss some more” Is what he says instead, pretty proud with himself. Even though he’s been dating the rabid dog of the Port Mafia for some months already, they are still themselves (Akutagawa can still be an asshole when he wants--), and even if a little soft fighting can be hot as some kind of testosterone-driven foreplay—it can get out of hand pretty fast and Atsushi does definitely not want to end up stabbed on Rashomon or guiltily watching Akutagawa treat some wound when all they had wanted at first was to…have…s-sex, dammit!

Repeat after me: AWKWARD FIRST TIME SHIN SOUKOKU!!!

Well, this is all I could come up with for now without making this too long! I am going to self-advertise - here’s a fluffy I wrote. I hate it. Some people seem to like it. *shrugs* But then again I hate everything about myself sooo
