Favorite skk fics?
👻 Ghost fics
Long Nights of Getting Lost series by shadowsapiens (Explicit) Summary: Getting shitfaced is the only way he can tolerate Dazai, but maybe that’s the problem. He doesn’t want to tolerate him. He’s safer with his knife at Dazai’s throat. He’s safer with Dazai’s knife at his throat, than being his friend. A ghost story, of a sort.
Fell Down and Nothing Bled by shadowsapiens (Teen and up) Summary: “You look tired,” Dazai says, weirdly quiet. He’s been weird ever since the incident, but this takes the fucking cake. Who the fuck is he to look concerned like that? It’s insulting.
🐈 Cat fics
Silver Vine by shadowsapiens (Explicit) Summary: This close, he feels the moment Dazai gives in, a release of tension that reverberates through Chuuya’s entire body. “Fuck,” Dazai mutters. The word stirs in Chuuya’s hair. “I need another drink for this.”
Like Herding Cats by flyby (Teen and up) Summary: Chuuya blinks, then again, but no, there's definitely a cat sitting in the middle of the alley, tail curled neatly around its feet. A small, greyish cat with fluffy ears and one visible eye that reflects what little light is available. Its other eye is covered by a swath of white bandages that don't seem to bother it at all, and there are more bandages on two of its legs. It tilts its head at him in an uncannily familiar manner, and opens its mouth to let out a mew that can only be described as smug. Chuuya stares back at it as a horrifying certainty dawns. Bandages, attitude, and a laser focus on being a pain in his ass can all mean only one thing. One person. "Oh, hell no."
🔍 Mystery fics
the liar's house by Mudui (translation by burgundytshirt) (Mature) Summary: Dazai, Chuuya, and four others are trapped in a cursed house where you cannot lie—each time you lie, you lose an organ. In seven stages, they are asked deeply personal questions that need to be answered in order to escape. Welcome to The Liar’s House.
new york holiday by Mudui (translation by burgundytshirt) (Mature) Summary: When Chuuya agreed to dating his ex-partner on a whim—random, non serious—he’d figured that if Dazai had suggested it just because he was bored, then of course Chuuya had to play along, otherwise it would seem like he had something to hide. He’d never thought the feelings he’d skillfully suppressed for four years would ever get in the way. Now he’s stuck in this friends with benefits who are fake or real dating but not really thing, and it just so happens that Chuuya gets entangled in an incident in New York, and that bastard Dazai may or may not have just flown halfway across the world to him, what the fuck is happening. (An incident that occurs in New York, and everything that unravels along with it.)

Everybody go read Transcendence on Ao3 by @chuuyasporkie!!!
If you could redo it all, what would you change? Or: an AU where everything goes according to plan, but Dazai actually dies in the prison, and Chuuya is transported back to the past with the chance of doing everything right this time. Heartache, scheming, and healing ensues.
Chapter 9 gutted me 😭 (in the best way possible) but it is absolutely one of my favorites so far. I wanted to include more of their conversation from that chapter but there was just SO MUCH, so I had to just try to capture the vibes instead. If you haven't read it and you're intrigued I cannot recommend it enough. It is so beautifully written none of my art will ever do it justice 💖💖💖

bsd fanfic recs
some of my absolute favorite fics I’ve read in the few months I’ve been insane about bsd. what are you guys doing if you haven’t read these.
tell me we do not live in vain by @valleykey・fyozai・57.1k, T, completed・relationship study・character study・travel fic
Fyodor’s weak heart thuds violently within its cage of flesh and bone, ba-thump. Dazai’s knife kisses cold on the skin of their throat. They swallow, and the bob of their Adam’s apple against it draws blood. “Alright,” Fyodor decides, “let’s find a way to die.”
// In the Decay’s aftermath, Fyodor and Dazai quietly slip through the cracks, and set on a journey.
through the pages by @valleykey・oda & dazai・5.3k, gen, completed・alternate universes
Near-infinity is finite. It’s not even close to real infinity. An infinity of coin flips will yield endless heads and endless tails, but it’s possible to flip a coin ten million times and land tails each one. “There’s a lot of bad that could be written in a book.” Oda doesn’t falter. “There’s a lot of good, too.”
///OR: snapshots of Dazai and Oda, across universes.
apocynum by @minusboy・skk・27.8k・M・completed・hanahaki au (with a twist!)
“Don’t bleed on the carpet,” Dazai says, as if it’s even his carpet he’d be bleeding on. “I’ll make you bleed,” he says, although it comes out half-hearted as well as weird and distorted with the tissue blocking his nose. Dazai just smiles at him beatifically. “Promise?”
on fresh wounds and picking on scabs
eternal game of tug & war by @blackwaves・2.9k, explicit, completed・sex dreams・character study
There’s something open, vulnerable, and overwhelmed on her face, and she gasps out the same high, breathy sound she lets out when she’s been running after a suspect, chokes out a string of please, please, please. Ayatsuji watches her do it and says: “This isn’t even maintaining plausibility anymore.” She straightens up. More familiar, there’s indignance on her face— “You can’t be criticizing me for your own sex dream. For one thing.” “It’s a valid critique.”
Or: the sex dream montage fic wherein Ayatsuji is psychosexually weird about all involved.
that fucked up girl by @strawberry-skies-xx・dazai & yosano・3.1k, gen, completed・gender study
The first time Dazai meets Yosano, he’s struck with such a strong wave of want that it catches in his throat, clogs it until he can’t speak. It doesn’t happen often. Dazai’s masks are carefully crafted, but Yosano is all sharp femininity, sleek and elegant, graceful in her beauty, and it hits Dazai like a brick. He stares.
i had a dream about you by @neurosasuke・gin & kyouka・5.5k, gen, completed・character study・relationship study
Her fingers clenched around the cone carton in her hand, crushing her precious breakfast into mush. “Senpai,” Kyouka said, her tone flattened by an iron. This couldn’t be happening. Akutagawa Gin met her eyes with an implacable stare. In one hand she held three fabric bags full of fresh produce from the vendors around them, and in the other was a cup of unsweetened milk tea. The pearls rattled as Gin took a long sip from her drink. The duo held eye contact until Gin concluded her task with a noisy smack of her lips. “Izumi,” Gin greeted sweetly, her voice barely able to be heard over the sounds of the early crowd. “Since when did you start shopping here?”
love that doesn’t have a place to rest by @blackwaves・gin-centric・1.9k, gen, completed・beast au gin
There are no good ways to say, I love my brother, and I think he is evil, and no good rooms to say it in.
Or: Gin, after it’s done.
oh, the echoes in my mind— by @nyrlthtp・sigma-centric・2k, gen, completed・sigma character study
It’s a name they’ve taken for themself, but it’s true to who they are now. They don’t remember ever having another name, and they doubt they ever will remember. They dance around questions about their past with an elegant skill that would be impressive to anyone who knew what to look for. Their words don’t falter, and neither do their hands as they deal out cards at tables themself, glossing over their own deep sorrow that’s salved by the casino and the casino alone. One would think they’d been at this casino for their entire life.
bleeding heart dove by @minusboy・skk・4.2k, M, completed・character study・telepathy
He thinks about Chuuya, or rather, he thinks about the god residing under his skin, the manic glint in his eye, head thrown back in laughter, exposing the delicate line of his throat, thinks about gravity twisting his bones into inhuman angles, the blood pouring out of every orifice on his body. He thinks about Chuuya, beautiful, frightening, human.
learning how to let go and how to drive, not necessarily in that order
hold the hand of the god-child, as he falls from the sky by @strawberry-skies-xx・dazai & mori・7k, gen, completed・relationship study
Mori stands up, walking over to see the empty cup of matcha resting on the armrest, curled loosely in one hand, and Dazai sound asleep. He’s so small like this, lost in the big clothing, the couch he’s on. Not for the first time, Mori wonders what he’d do if he wasn’t head of the mafia. If he’d still find Dazai. If he could help him with more than stitches and hot tea.
till death, I’ll give you my breath by @booksandpaperss・skk・24.6k, M, ongoing・time/death loop・relationship study
“Here’s what’s gonna happen,” Chuuya starts, conviction (and probably some desperation) firm in his voice. “Neither of us are gonna leave this damn room. Call in sick, or whatever the fuck I don’t care, but you’re not going into work, or anywhere today. I’ll fucking hold you down just like this if I have to. Got it?” Dazai cocks his head, and Chuuya can tell he’s really trying hard to maintain the bored look on his face. Chuuya’s known Dazai long enough to recognize when he’s curious. “Am I being held hostage by the mafia right now? Is that what’s happening?”
In which Dazai succeeds in the death he’s always longed for, and Chuuya and Atsushi will do whatever it takes to save the man who saved them before they even realized they were being saved. However many times it takes.
A study in loving someone who refuses to be loved.
Last Train Home by @valleykey・sigma-centric・27.1k, gen, completed・character study・post canon
In the Decay’s aftermath, the Port Mafia’s Nakahara Chuuya finds Sigma among the sunlit silvers of Suribachi city. He grins viciously. “In that case, let’s get you your Casino back.”
/// Sigma picks up their pieces.
in the mirror, i bloom by ephemeralis・skk・12k, T, completed・hanahaki au
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.
brutal out here! by @valleykey・fyozailai・4.8k, T, completed・suicide practice fic minus actual suicide
“Oh my God,” Nikolai gasps into the phone, because he can’t let there be a pause, because—”you’re killing yourselves and you didn’t even invite me!?” “Not really,” Fyodor says, almost diplomatic, “it’s more like practice.” “Roleplay, if you will,” Dazai adds enthusiastically, from what must be the bathtub, “but like, irl. And with the potential to get rushed to the hospital.”
5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel by @valleykey・fyozai・7.2k, T, completed・teen fyozai meet for the first time
Chuuya’s self restraint breaks. “What are you even doing?” Dazai doesn’t even spare him a glance. “Playing 5D chess with multiverse time travel against the enemy.” Chuuya squints. He has to be fucking with him. “What?” “And I’m losing, Chuuya,” and now he finally looks at him, manic grin snaking across his cheeks, voice plunging from blank to downright giddy. Giddy. What the fuck. “He’s a demon.”
/// OR: Chuuya finds himself in the unfortunate position of witnessing Dazai meet Fyodor.
abominable by @valleykey・fyodor-centric・5.3k, M, completed・character study
You’re seven when your ability awakens. You calculate how long it’ll be until anyone finds the bodies. You take a shower before the blood dries, change clothes, and don’t sleep the entire night. When the sun rises, you go to church.
///OR: Fyodor, through the years.
some say we’re born into the grave by @obsidianstrawberrymilk・kouyou & kyouka・5.2k, T, completed・idol au・relationship study
“Now, Kyouka? Really? You’re about to be on stage in one of the biggest festivals in the nation and you’re crying about something?” Kyouka debates telling her it had been unintentional, and barely ‘crying’ at all, but decides against it; if anything, talking back makes it worse. Kouyou’s nails dig further into her skin; not enough to bleed and unlikely to bruise, Kyouka knows. Not her face - too valuable. Kyouka can’t say there’s any bitterness there; it’s a fact. Music is what she’s good at, and Kouyou directs where she goes with it. Failure is not an option. Not in this world she’s found herself in.
Or: Kouyou Ozaki is idol Kyouka Izumi’s manager. How Kyouka feels about it isn’t anyone’s concern.
scream into the empty (can anybody hear me?) by @obsidianstrawberrymilk・gin & ryuunosuke・4k, T, completed・selective mutism・character study
Gin never realizes that there’s something wrong with them until age twelve, when their brother joins the Port Mafia, and them alongside him. Suddenly, their silence is not just offhand on the side of useful; it’s noticeable. It’s abnormal. It’s something that makes them a target.
Or: Gin Akutagawa, growing up, and selective mutism.

What are your sskk fic recs?
omg yayyyyy! okay so. disclaimer i haven't really read any bsd fic in like 6 months? so i have not been on that grind lately i could totally be ignorant to some works of art. nonetheless i will supply you with my favorites!
anything!!! from @ryuvnosuke, but my fave is don't look back (would you retrieve my soul?) because orpheus and eurydice au is the quickest way to my heart!!!
actually also gotta say don't hurt me (im tired), same author as above, aku character study oneshot, soooo goodddd
i love auroraheart!!! read everything by auroraheart!!!, my fave though has gotta be from duality to singularity. it's a post beast canon oneshot where atsushi kind of joins the ada and i just need more good beast fic
start locking coffins by kaneki, akutagawa character study, canon compliant. just loveee the writing of this
EVERYTHING FROM LIZANDRE. I AM OBSESSED WITH EVERYTHING ABOUT THEIR WRITING STYLE. I LOVE THE WAY THEY WRITE SSKK THEY'RE SO STRANGE. however im specifically going to rec odds & ends. wound tending but they are Weird about it i like that
alsooooo really love my heat rash is in the shape of your palm, again by lizandre, bc i love akudeath angst🫶 me saying im going to give you one fic from my fave authors and then immediately going back on it. anyway both are oneshots
take us down and all apart by magdalenes. again wound tending and they're weird about it. i especially love the way atsushi is written in this one he's on this nice borderline of cruelty you don't see much in sskk fic it's sooooooo💖💖💖💖💖
also by magdalenes, my brain is rotting in places. they're so strange and awful in this one that's all i have to say im obsessed with it. i come back to these two fics regularly when i need a fix of them being Worse
saltwater by @spliqi!! speaking of good beast universe fic!!! post beast canon oneshot, they just keep running into each other on a beach
everything by flipbookorigami, though i have to specifically give you the transitive property of caring. this is an sskk classic TO MEEEEE. im pretty sure it's one of the first sskk fics i read. anyway aku and atsushi get sent on a """mission""" (it's just a nice vacation). it's that kind of fic that's a really long oneshot where technically not much is happening but also the character study is going crazy. my fave genre of fic<3
speaking of flipbookorigami i do also have to give you the five stages of grief don't account for the theory and application of alternate universe contingency plans. so the akutagawa who comes back from the dead is from another universe. atsushi copes badly by hooking up with him. i love this one for being messy. this is messy shit to do to yourself atsushi
until love by fiftysecond. oneshot au where atsushi is a hunting dog and also there's hanahaki. now this concept i have no idea where it's coming from but it hit crazy 2 me<3 snorted like coke
delusion is weighing me down by cherrior. i love this one!!!!!!!!!! longfic where atsushi gets hit by some weird ability that causes his own ability to go out of control and dazai sticks him in akutagawa's apartment until they get it figured out
cherrior also has retribution for the dead, an ongoing street racing au i really like🫶 i think i got an email for an update recently actually i need to get to that expeditiously
the path to paradise by roadtripwithlucifer. longfic where aku gets attacked by dante aligheri of dante's inferno fame and gets stuck in hell literally. atsushi has to go get him out and then they have to catch the guy. really like this one especially the torture bits
alright that's all i got have fun💖

skk ficrec time! pt2 electric bugaloo
It’s finally time for more skk fic recs from yours truly. I have more than doubled the number of bookmarked BSD fics since my last rec list HAHA WHOOPS so now the total is 351. Surely this says nothing about anything and simply means everything is fine–
Anyway, we had 29 recs on the last list so lets round it out to a lovely 30 this time :) on to the recs!
i'm not putting warnings with the fics, but bc this is BSD please do take note of tags and warnings that are given! i read a lot of fics with darker material so do be cautious!
One-Shots:
The One with the Confession by fortunatelypancakes @fortunately-pancakes (Teen and Up, 8k)
Chuuya snorts. “Do ya always get so fuckin’ philosophical on first dates?” “Usually they end as soon as I propose a lover’s suicide,” Dazai says, breezy yet suddenly dark, giving Chuuya the jarring feeling of having wandered into the woods only to realize night has fallen and he’s lost. “To the waitress or the date?” he asks dryly. Dazai looks up from his mess on the table and smirks. "Sometimes both.” (about an hour later) From its place on the coffee table, Yosano’s phone vibrates and lights up with three new notifications. Dazai: helloooo~ Dazai: I’m sure your valentines is going ~wonderfully~ 😘😘😘 but pls spare a moment for your tragically single best friend and send me Chuuya’s number???? Dazai: I seem to have misplaced him 😵 “Uh oh. One of the boys texted me,” she calls out to Kouyou. Yosano’s phone buzzes again. Chuuya: I am NEVER going on a date ever again Chuuya: What the fuck made you think I’d get along with him??? Chuuya: He’s the worst person I’ve ever met Chuuya: No offense. I know he’s your friend
Stupidly, Tragically, I Really Do Love You by timeflowpetals (Teen and Up, 5k)
Chuuya and Dazai are married. But why is Chuuya currently smashing his husband’s head against a doorframe? And… is that Dazai poisoning his tea? Worried about his mentor’s love life, Atsushi launches Operation: PTDODB (Prevent the Divorce of Double Black) and drags a reluctant Akutagawa along for the ride. Their mission? Convince Chuuya that Dazai isn’t that bad of a catch. If only they had realized before spending an absurd amount of money that Double Black’s true love language is sheer, unfiltered chaos.
I Won’t Leave You (Again) by deviance @ao3-deviance (Teen and Up, 15k)
"Executive Kouyou, we've been informed that you are planning a coup." Before the signal could be given, there was a large explosion and many men were blown from their feet as something like a black hole went tearing through them all. Kouyou could recognize the gravitons of her own pupil; she just wished it hadn't come to this. 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. ….. (Chuuya leaves the PM to save Kouyou, then joins the ADA so he can stay in Yokohama)
Hold Me Close This Dreary Night by ay_masakali @ay-masakali (General, 5k)
“I’m not singin’ for the likes of you,” Chuuya answers anyway, “And settle down, you’re gonna aggravate your injuries.” “You’re gonna aggravate your injuries,” Dazai mocks, with the poorest imitation of his accent he’s ever heard. “How ‘bout I aggravate you.” mafioso has to bite his lips to prevent more laughter, “You really don’t hear a word you’re saying, do you?” A mission with Dazai is always bound to be an eventful one, so it’s no surprise when the man ends up injured and unconscious on a rookie level job. Now it’s Chuuya’s responsibility to look after him until backup arrives, and strangely, he doesn’t want to punch Dazai’s brains out.
That’s One Way To Start Your Morning by Chaos_Ensues (Explicit, 3k)
Dazai takes a moment to appreciate the muscles in Chuuya’s back and shoulders—it’s not as big as Dazai’s, Chuuya is more on the lean side—but they’re still noticeable. He can watch them contract with every small breath that Chuuya makes, his freckles covering the expanse of his back. There are many ways Dazai can go about this—the different positions to put Chuuya in— But that requires moving the omega around. And Dazai doesn’t want to wake Chuuya up. Not yet. Or: Dazai fucks Chuuya while he sleeps (with previously established consent of course) and wakes Chuuya up with a knot.
A Claim On Your Name by Nyx_xy (Teen and Up, 4k)
Chuuya raises an eyebrow, before offering a hapless shrug. "Very well. Then, how about operation Mouse and Stampede?" Kunikida blinks. Chuuya blinks back. "What?" "…what?" The detective frowns. "What did you just say?" "Mouse and Stampede? You know?" Or Chuuya and Kunikida end up on a mission together, and Chuuya decides to make Kunikida a guide on being Dazai's partner. Dazai doesn't approve.
Stay by the_most_happy (Mature, 23k)
“Oi, Dazai, what are they saying, anyway? Too many people. It gets confusing.” The detective smirks. “They are just discussing the budget for the next mission. Kunikida insists he wants an ice cream, a drone, and a goat.” From the Port Mafia dungeon to the depths of Meursault, Dazai and Chuuya keep finding each other. They fall in love all over again — or, maybe, they never stopped. That’s all.
Confessions of Inconvenience by chuuyasporkie @chuuyasporkie (Mature, 8k)
Dazai swallows hard. “You think I’m beautiful?” Chuuya smiles, nonchalant. But really, he’s very chalant—give him a break, he needs to maintain his reputation. “I think you’re one of the most beautiful people in the world.” Dazai is avoiding his eyes. “You don’t know what you’re saying.” “You are,” Chuuya reiterates softly. “Very beautiful.” Dazai looks up at him. “I hate to interrupt,” he says blandly. “But have you maybe ever looked into a mirror?” Chuuya blinks, more than a little confused for a moment, but when it finally clicks, he bursts into loud laughter. “Shut up,” he says. Four times Chuuya drunkenly confesses to Dazai and forgets all about it, and one time he’s too sober to run from it. Or: Chuuya keeps confessing and forgetting. Dazai is sick of pretending like nothing’s been happening. A sweet fic—may cause cavities.
Multi-Chapter:
Home is where You are by carlynagisa @carlynagisa (Mature, 13/13, 60k)
On the day Dazai Osamu was supposed to die, his attempt to finally end it all was harshly interrupted by a call of his former best friend who he had not spoken to in years. A former best friend with a son Dazai had not known of. And he had a request that might derail Dazai's plans more than he had initially thought. Or: the fic where Dazai learns the hard way that family is what you make it.
picking a flower that blooms on the heart for you by burgundytshirt (Mature, 9/9, 44k)
The question is obvious at this point. To die, or to ask Dazai for help? Chuuya is so choked by this question that his breakfast is lodged in his throat, unable to be swallowed. (Or, Chuuya would much rather die than let Dazai find out he has hanahaki disease.)
I threw away this human form of mine by love_island (Mature, 22/22, 118k)
Dazai was facing away from the door, so he couldn’t see his new roommate, but Ango could, and his face went pale. That, coupled with the excessively aggressive entrance, told Dazai enough to know who it was. Dazai sighed loftily and turned around slowly. “Hey there, shrimp,” he drawled. “You lost, or am I actually stuck with you?” Motorcycle Guy dropped the two duffel bags he was holding. Dazai watched his face as it morphed from confusion, to recognition, and finally to anger. “You!”
i’ll follow the line that connects us two by lunarumbra (Teen and Up, 3/3, 23k)
Dazai learns a total of three things about Chuuya when they unexpectedly bump into each other after years of radio silence. One, his hair has grown considerably longer. Two, he moved here to Yokohama because of his new job. And three, his kid is an absolute menace.
Conscious Uncoupling by zinniapetals (Mature, 6/6, 66k)
“I’ll only say this once, so listen up,” Chuuya announced, stepping closer until his chest pressed against the box in Dazai’s hands. He tilted his head to meet Dazai’s eyes, his lips firm with determination. “This…saving people thing? It suits you. I don’t hate the fact that you made it out alive.” Dazai blinked in response, blinking again when the spots in his eyes didn’t disappear and neither did Chuuya. He stared silently, unsure of what to say, whether he was allowed to joke, be angry, feel hurt, or assume this was the end of an era.
Easy in Theory by the_most_happy (Mature, 14/14, 126k)
"When we're older, I'm going to marry 'Samu. I promise. I swear." If someone had told Dazai he would be fake dating the sister of one Nakahara Chuuya - his childhood best friend, current housemate and first love - he would have called them crazy. There's just no way. Alas, that’s exactly what he’s doing. Or: Chuuya's unofficial guide on how to stay (almost) sane when your childhood crush is dating your sister.
Shades of Red by Kirb8_woo (Mature, 42/45, 416k)
Nakahara Chuuya, an Omega with a bad temper, finds a job as the assistant for Dazai Osamu, the CEO of the Mori Corporation. Chuuya wants to start on a good foot but the alpha’s cold exterior and rumored dislike for Omegas is definitely not helping…
No Cock-Ups, Only Happy Accidents by Fenriel (Explicit, 10/10, 60k)
Going out and getting drunk with friends is all great and fun - until you wake up in a foreign bed with no memory of how you got there. And if a question pesters your mind, you want answers. What better method is there, than to try and see if the memories come back? Which is exactly what happens to Chuuya, who wakes up next to the most insufferable guy alive; Dazai. But what makes it worse is that neither can recall what happened last night, evidence speaking for and against the fact that they've had sex.
If you kiss me (I might let it happen) by encsiimomo (Explicit, 7/7, 52k)
“Hey, shitty Dazai, let’s go out.” Dazai, who started to walk again after composing himself from their almost crash, stumbled a bit on his next step while his head snapped in Chuuya’s direction with an alarming crack. He regarded Chuuya with one curious eye, then he chuckled. “Don’t be silly chibi, we are already outside. Your tacky hat is clearly eating your bra–” Chuuya’s irritation flared anew. From the corner of his eye, he could clearly see the two figures coming closer and closer, and he knew he had only mere seconds until the inevitable would happen. “No, you fucker. I meant, go out with me,” Chuuya pressed on, throwing all his pride and dignity out of the window, then he gulped around the dry cotton suddenly clogging up his throat before he uttered his next words. “As in, date me for the week.” Or: DarkEra!Skk and their seven days of dating, mixed with Chuuya's obliviousness, idiots in love, and a fair amount of smut. Oh, and Odasaku ships skk in this one.
I’d Adore You (With Your Hands Around My Neck) by chuuyasporkie @chuuyasporkie (Teen and Up, 16/16, 123k)
In which Chuuya loved too early and longer, and Dazai loved too late but deeper. Or, Dazai and Chuuya find out they’re mates, Dazai is bad at feelings, Chuuya has had enough, and somewhere in the middle they fall in love, but not necessarily in that order.
Touch by borntoshine (Explicit, 13/13, 68k)
Omega!Chuuya lies for over a year about his second gender, but when he stupidly forgets to order his suppressants, things start to get out of hand, and sharing a room with Dazai, his Alpha roommate, gets a very unexpected twist.
If I had a world of my own (everything would be nonsense) by encsiimomo (Explicit, 2/2, 17k)
Chuuya felt divine in his arms. The memory of his captivating scent made his mouth water and his still semi-hard dick fill with arousal, and even more than that, his ex-partner tasted like– Dazai’s eyes widened comically as his brain finally caught up to what just transpired between them only minutes ago. He turned around sharply, gaze settling onto Chuuya as if the redhead’s pull of gravity suddenly gained ownership of his every move, but his mind just couldn’t process the sight in front of him. “Chuuya?” Dazai asked in such a low voice it came out as nothing but a mere whisper, and Chuuya let out a whimper at hearing his name roll off of Dazai's tongue like that. The tiny sound tasted like distress in the thick air separating them. Or: a mission goes wrong and Dazai finds out the hard way that his ex-partner presented as omega after he defected from the PM.
No Long Human by Wolf___Spirit (Mature, 21/21, 130k)
“Jesus Christ, Chuuya is going to kill this idiot for worrying him like this, for being a suicidal maniac who decided to put himself in the damn trajectory of a machine that they don't even know all the effects of yet.” When a stranger starts stealing people's abilities, the ADA and the Port Mafia team up to figure it out. However, something goes wrong and Dazai loses his ability in the process. The big problem? His ability not only nullified the abilities of others, but also his own emotions. And now, for the first time in his life, Dazai has emotions, chaotic and in turmoil. In the midst of this identity crisis, Dazai sets out to explore the world with Chuuya as his grumpy bodyguard, only to discover that he has never felt so...alive. And then they find out that if they don't find a way to give him back his ability, Dazai will die within two weeks. In a race against time, chaos ensues.
memories fade (fears don’t) by DeviBlue (Mature, 2/2, 13k)
“You refused to take the mandatory swim test,” Mori said suddenly. Chuuya lifted his head up at the sudden topic change. “Are you afraid of water, Chuuya-kun?” Chuuya didn’t like where this was going. “No, sir.” A small ‘ah’ of understanding left Mori’s mouth. “So just afraid of being submerged then?” His heart skipped a beat. “N-no, Mori-san.” Mori chuckled. It felt like a death sentence. “Don’t lie to me, Chuuya-kun.” OR Mori knows Chuuya's worst fears and uses them as punishment.
don’t you ever tame your demons by writingfromtheshadows (Mature, 18/18, 108k)
Every year, a handful of children are born with the ability to command supernatural powers. Thousands of dollars and dozens of trained specialists are tasked with identifying, tracking down, and labeling each one as Deviant. Once identified, they have no rights other than those that are permitted to them, and disobedience is a crime punishable by death. Chuuya has never known a life outside of the routine he's forced to follow, but when the boss of Yokohama's Port Mafia offers him a chance of freedom, Chuuya is not prepared for the rebellion he's stumbling into.
centrifugal/centripetal by TopHat69 (Explicit, 31/31, 204k)
[There is no description, but trust <3]
Incorruptible by Decadee (Mature, 10/10, 82k)
After the fight with Lovecraft, Dazai had left Chuuya behind. He didn't expect Chuuya to go missing. He didn't expect his entire world would shift once the redhead did. In the meantime, stuck in a place he thought he would never return to, Chuuya is just trying to stay alive. --- This is a canon-divergent take not only on what happened after the fight against Lovecraft, but as I have only seen the anime, this is a very canon-divergent take on Chuuya's past.
The (Un)Lucky Ones by songofthesheep (Mature, 31/31, 114k)
“Who knew children were so strong these days?” Dazai grumbled, but that sucked Chuuya back into reality. Okay. Yeah, hell no. No one made fun of his height. “Who the hell are you calling a child, asshole?” Chuuya bit back, furrowing his eyebrows and crossing his arms. “I’m twenty-two, for your information.” “Ah, I didn’t think a grown man could be so short! The more you know!” he smiled brightly, but Chuuya felt the tease in it. Who did this guy think he was? “Fuck off,” Chuuya glared at him for a second but then decided to walk away before he picked a fight with someone at a callback. That wouldn’t look very good to the director. But if there is a god out there, it must hate Chuuya because the freakishly tall actor decided to follow behind Chuuya, chatting as if he wasn’t just cussed at, “You know, I’m sure it’s not too late for a growth spurt! If you drink more milk, you never know what could-” The ‘I’m not gonna punch someone’ plan failed. --- Nakahara Chuuya auditions for a movie. Dazai Osamu is a world famous actor. What could possibly go wrong?
cracking locks by clustersorrow (Mature, 10/10, 59k)
Chuuya isn’t allowed to step outside unless it’s for work, and much less to spend time with anyone who isn’t his boyfriend. It’s a monotonous routine, but he doesn’t mind it. Until he meets Dazai, and suddenly his cage isn’t as comfortable anymore.
Nfwmb by persimmonsandcats @persimmonsandcats (Explicit, 3/4, 46k)
“What do I think?” He asks lightly. “Yeah,” Dazai leans back a bit and presses a socked foot into Chuuya’s hip. “Don’t you wanna fuck me, Chuuya?” It’s asked innocently. It feels like jabbing a finger into an open wound. Chuuya blows his smoke to the ceiling despite Dazai tilting forward and opening his mouth. Dazai makes a little tcht sound at him. “You want to fuck me?” Chuuya asks. Dazai doesn’t drop his eyes. “I trust you.” He repeats. Chuuya had asked Dazai once how many times he thought you could break a person before they stopped trying to put themselves back together, stopped trying to pick up the pieces and left themselves shattered. Depends how cruel you are, Dazai had answered after a long moment, you can still break pieces. Chuuya is pieces and his edges are sharp.
Five times Double Black make a bet, and the one time neither of them lose by nyxi-pixie @nyxi-pixie (Explicit, 3/6, 17k)
And then, expression betraying how far well too pleased with himself he is, “You feeling like you’re losing, shitty Dazai?” “I’m not losing anything,” Dazai responds, a little more sharp than he means. He’s supposed to be sounding unbothered because Chuuya’s arguments aren’t worth attending to. Annoying little slug. “You’re the one wearing my collar.” “And who’s the one desperately barking for my attention? Didn’t think this one through at all, did ya?” “We’ll see.” Or, a bet is a sacred sort of thing within the Double Black partnership, and worth following through all its many varying contexts, stupid and ridiculous or otherwise.
Series:
fame-covered love by haleysdiary, reigned (Teen and Up, 3 works, 17k total)
A collection of works all in the same timeline, in chronological order. Soukoku streamer AU, with Twitch streamers Chuuya and Dazai, and their shenanigans with being a famous couple.

Thinking about Asagiri's end note in Beast. Specifically of that one part that suggests, in an alternate universe Chuuya might have run away with Dazai. Thinking about Dazai showing up on Chuuya's doorstep at 3am, in the form of a wet cat becase it's been raining all day but he didn't leave Oda's grave for a second. About Dazai just out of the blue telling Chuuya that he's leaving. He expects an explosion, expects Chuuya to shout at him, punch him, tell him to fuck off and to never show his ugly face ever again. Instead what Chuuya says is - "Okay, where do you wanna go? Russia? France? Singapore? I know a good friend of Albatross's that makes super realistic fake ID's." Bewilderment is not something he experiences a lot, not even a little. But his pertner, that he's supposed to know in and out, has managed to put him through it once again.
They end up illegally traveling around the world just because they can. When they finally make it back to their hometown, they have missed Yokohame dearly, it's  time to settle down. Of course settleing down somewhere requires a stable job. A rumor about a newly formeing detective agency that's looking for gifted people to hire, reaches their ear rather quickly.

Hiiiii.
Sorry to bother you, I wanted to know if you had any fic recs? Your writing is so good and your tastes are immaculate, and I am starving for any kind of good content. Please?
its not possible to bother me love dw <3
NOW. i dont actually read all that much anymore bc i am horrendously picky but this does give me an excuse to hype up the few authors that have satisfied my unreasonably specific tastes 🤩.
so. a few bsd recs for you (except theyre 99% skk because im horribly predictable forever). everyone go read all of these and tell the authors how wonderful they are in the comments please <3
anything @booksandpaperss has ever written is genius work and everyone should read it. could talk abt all of their stuff for hours (and i have🤩 they put up w so much of me bothering them godbless). also our brains do some accidental crazy mind melding shit whenever either of us write fic so if you like any of my stuff you will like theirs. thats the rules. <3
like twin stars in the dark (we collide)- dead apple skk porn as a vehicle for 22skk analysis. makes me salivate i have read it so many times. they get 22skk better than anyone🙏
my lies are for you to keep (my love for you to lose) - the only take on beastskk that matters to me ever. you can actually see me losing my mind in the comment i wrote on this fic bc of how fucking insane every single line made me. theres SO much packed into this thing its fucking crazy i NEEEEED everyone to read it. thats all <3
till death, I'll give you my breath - dazai death timeloop. this fic terrifies me so much i await every update with my teeth chattering and my heart pulsing so rapidly i should be hospitalised. the first scene of chapter 2 genuinely had me on the verge of tears im unwell about it.
(elli also has some jjk stuff thats REALLYREALLY good and if ur into jjk u should check that out too.)
NOW. aside from being a propaganda machine for my fav writer ever. Heres some other stuff i love.
the second perspective by @wildflowerteas. murder mystery/detective noir stuff w some time fuckery. the au of all time. mashes aspects of beast, canon, and some extra special niko sauce into a mixing bowl and goes crazy w it. just Such a genuinely impressive piece of writing. i could talk abt the technical brilliance of it for hours but i will stop myself. you gotta commit to this thing because it WILL make u crazy. also i loveee the sskk. its like if we had the beast first meeting sskk forever. SOSO GOOD!!!!
did fate guide the gun or did you? by @kanetheo. i read this pretty soon after chapter 109 and it genuinely fried my brain for months. the writing style is beautiful (as for everything they write AUGHH!!!) and the angst is delectable. the way it intersperses more fun silly skk moments with just. complete misery. GOD. it just hits. ive reread it quite a few times and it never fails to make me go crazy. srsly cannot rec this enough.
the decomposition of dazai osamu by @hella1975 this shot several bullets through my brain and i still havent recovered. i keep thinking 'oh i should reread that' and then i dont bc some part of my brain still concerns itself w maintaining whats left of my sanity. BUT its crazy good and everyone should read it and suffer at least once. EVERYONE LOVES YOU OSAMU!!!! EVERYONE EATS YOU!!! line of all time lets all kill ourselves.
smoke held conversations by feralrookie - i havent reread this in a while but it does cool stuff with nlh and the skkisms are really good in this too. ppl often write teen chuuya as less intelligent than he actually is. hes very observant, esp of dazai, and this fic gave me that 🙏
i called your name til the fever broke by forest_raccoon - vampire chuuya. biting is involved. i blacked out reading it. enough said.

Domestic skk where Dazai gets home later than usual from the agency. It’s not uncommon for him to arrive home after Chuuya when he was working a case, but it definitely wasn’t the norm.
As Dazai slipped off his shoes and coat, he listened for any sounds that may indicate where Chuuya was.
Even though he was pretty sure he already knew.
He padded towards their bedroom and stopped with his hand on the knob. He pressed his ear to the door, listening for familiar, soft snores, but not hearing any.
He quietly slipped into the room, unsurprised to see that the lamp was still on, but not expecting to see Chuuya’s eyes closed.
The redhead was sitting up against the headboard, arms crossed and eyes closed. There was a poetry book on his lap, still open to where he’d been reading.
Dazai felt that fond smile he could never seem to mask play at his lips, and walked closer.
The light of the lamp cast shadows that accentuated the sharp angles of Chuuya’s face. His brown lashes brushed against his strong cheekbones, and a sun-kissed bronze was spread across his upturned nose.
Chuuya was all sharp edges with an unrefined personality. And that’s just how Dazai liked him.
That crudeness that had so grated on his nerves when they first met. That crassness that couldn’t be dulled by nice clothes or Ane-san’s influence.
Chuuya was unapologetically Chuuya— untamable.
Dazai watched as his partner’s brows pinched, and his bow-shaped lips twitched downward before parting.
“What’re you staring at, shitty Dazai?”
Dazai’s smile widened. “Just wondering how long you’re going to keep feigning sleep,” he hummed as he turned away to change into his pajamas.
“Wasn’t sleeping,” Chuuya grumbled, one eye peeking open as Dazai slipped into bed and curled up next to his leg.
Dazai nuzzled into Chuuya’s toned thigh, releasing a contented hum as Chuuya’s hand started carding through his hair.
He felt the rhythmic shift of Chuuya’s body in time with his breathing, and let himself relax knowing he was safe. Secure. Cared for.
Because Chuuya wasn’t all sharp edges. Deep down, there was a layer of kindness to him. Deep enough that it wasn’t immediately apparent.
Deep because it’s part of the foundation of who Chuuya is.
Dazai considers himself one of the lucky ones, getting to witness this kindness firsthand.
Chuuya always waited up for him, no matter how tired he was, or how long of a day he’d had. Some instinct to make sure every member of his pack was accounted for— probably leftover from the sheep.
My loyal dog.
Dazai hid his smile in the fabric of Chuuya’s pajama pants.
“Oi. I can feel you smirking, bastard.” Chuuya stopped his hand to pull on Dazai’s dark waves.
Dazai whined in protest. “Chuuya’s so mean to me.”
Chuuya scoffed, voice rough with the need for sleep. “Right, so mean that I even made you crab for dinner.” He slid down the headboard to lay on his pillow. This way, he was nose to nose with Dazai— hot, toothpaste-fresh breath fanning Dazai’s face and strawberry-blond curls falling into his face. “How awful.”
Dazai lifted a hand to brush the hair out of Chuuya’s eyes, gently tucking it behind his ear. “How awful,” he agreed. “Makes me want to die.”
Those piercing blue eyes stared back at him. “I’ll be the one to kill you. Shitty Dazai.” Chuuya’s threat was punctuated by a long yawn.
Dazai tutted. “Sleepy Chibi.” He grabbed Chuuya’s hand and started massaging soft circles into his palm. Just the way he knew Chuuya loved.
Sure enough, Chuuya let out a content sigh as the last bit of tension seeped out of his body.
“S’nice,” he mumbled as he started drifting off. Dazai merely hummed.
“Such strong hands that carry so much,” he whispered, bringing Chuuya’s knuckles to his face & pressing his lips against them tenderly. “Let me hold this for you.”
Chuuya’s breath evened out, and soft snores filled the space between them. Night after night, that snoring had been Dazai’s white noise, and he bit his lip to restrain the sudden impulse to pinch his partner’s cheeks in an act of cuteness aggression.
Instead, he snuggled up close to the redhead, burying his face in the crook of Chuuya’s neck.
Dazai reached over and turned off the lamp, feeling his heart swell when Chuuya nuzzled his face into Dazai’s hair. He pressed a kiss to his jugular notch, then let the soothing cadence of Chuuya’s snores lull him to sleep.
Dazai version
