#unconventional mating rituals

[sad-emo-dip-dye]

This was the moment kuni started the first draft of the plan that saved Dazai in 55 minutes i just know it

[flamie-42]

15!Dazai: when i grow up Chuuya will be my wife

15!Chuuya: the fuck are you talking about?

15!Dazai: *tears in eyes* Chuuya doesn’t want to marry me?

15!Chuuya: if we are getting married you’ll be the wife

15!Dazai: *sniffles* if that’s why it will take to marry Chuuya

15!Chuuya: IT WAS A JOKE! IM NOT MARRYING YOU

15!Dazai: nope you said it. No takesies backsies

skk be like "hey, isnt it great that we get to defeat a seemingly impossible enemy by being partners just like back then when we were teens? why dont we celebrate it by dropping Sigma 15 times?" "great idea! let's do it!"

[cocktailjjrs]

Soukoku has ruined it for me...

Any other pairing for Chuuya and Dazai in whatever context you wanna take it - platonic, romantic, found family, soulmates, enemies, frenemies etc etc - one can't be without the other or in the same capacity what they have with each other...

Like, I can never imagine Dazai getting frustrated with anyone and downright saying to their face - 'You're no ray of sunshine either' - other than Chuuya

or Chuuya ever saying - 'I used corruption because i trusted you' to anyone other than Dazai (tbf, he literally can't say even if he wants to, unless it's another nullifier)

or Dazai spending day and night, thinking up ways to annoy anyone but Chuuya

or Chuuya doing a rich girl impression or equivalent just because someone said he will do so

or Dazai talking about how anyone's ability is too overpowered and its final form, sound equal parts smug, fond and worried

or Chuuya looking at any agency fight and thinking, if it was Dazai there won't have been a fight to begin with

or Dazai planting a bomb under any of his friends/colleague's car, fully certain it won't harm them

or Chuuya shooting his subordinates out of their discussed plan, just to shut them up because they were getting cringe

Or you know - the in general - devising a whole plan, heading into enemy's side, getting stabbed with poison and trusting the other will save you, without any sort of communication what so ever.

And the said other person, doing exactly as was expected of them and activating the uncontrollable part of their ability, without any confirmation of the only person known to deactivate is even alive.

One shotting the other in head, the other letting it happen.

One trusting the other with their humanity, and other making sure to keep it intact.

One getting kidnapped and leaving a clue that only the other could connect.

.

.

.

I mean, you could argue one or two of these things can happen with either half of Soukoku and someone else, but all of these?

They may have n number of different kinds of relations with all the other's from bsd verse, but what they have with each other is unique and it's only them who will have that kind of thing...

I'm not saying they are a ideal - friends, enemies, couple.... Partners

What I'm saying is, what ever they are to each other - is the best they will get... it's one of a kind - only piece available in the whole world

[wow-an-unfunny-joke]

Dazai leans over the edge, a strong gust of wind is all it would take to push him over, to send him falling to his sweet, ultimate demise.

Chuuya grabs his arm in a strong grip- but he doesn't pull Dazai away from the edge. Chuuya looks Dazai straight in his eyes. Bright blue eyes meet Dazai's and he says in a firm voice,

"If you jump, you'll kill both of us."

And it's clear, right then, how deeply Chuuya trusts Dazai.

And Dazai doesn't jump.

ok but i had this dream about soukoku where basically they were dating and they'd fought and made up so. to celebrate. they were going to Ikea to have sex in the fake showers.

and this was like, a ritual for them. they'd do it every time they fought/made up (which i assume was often). it was so dumb but so in character LMAO

(they were even arguing in the car in a traffic jam on their way there)

(ik it sounds like i made it up to share a dumb hc but it's legit)

Twilight Farewell. What a godsdamned season finale name. I love it.

Either the Agency is doomed for sure or it's a soukoku code thing with how Osamu Dazai's last novel was “Goodbye” and Chuuya Nakahara has these two poems that have “Twilight” in their title.

Gosh I am praying Bones bullshits their way through this caught-up-with-the-manga hole, and I am so excited for it.

It will never not be funny to me that there's an Ao3 tag called "Soukoku's unconventional mating rituals" with over 1,000 fics

[kyouka-supremacy]

Can't take off my mind this very specific flavor of sskk dynamics from a timeline that goes like: the doa arc never happened. Skip forward to bunch of years past the canon events, and you have sskk who can't really call each other enemies since it's now evident to everyone they enjoy seeing each other, but aren't friends either since they do very much still work for enemy organizations. And they just keep stumbling across each other on their respective missions from opposite fronts, trying to capture the same target for their own team, and they keep fighting and competing with each other in a way that is almost playful (but never going easy on each other because then where's the fun!), making them both almost look forward to meet and clash with the other on missions and to fight for the same target. And the mission accomplishment rate has now decreased to a 50% for both of them but neither of them can bring themselves to really care because for the first time they're having the carefree, mindless fun they never experienced in their lives and they have a person they enjoy to spend time with to the point they even got past denying it. And Atsushi telling Akutagawa “even if I let you go now, I'll still have to hunt you down” and Akutagwa replying “hunt me then” and theatrically disappearing out of a window or something leaving Atsushi laughing and just. them being together although nobody is going to say it out loud

why aren’t there more fics of teenage soukoku just. fucking around and everyone else having to suffer the consequences because of it.

like i wanna read a fic about how neither of them were ever allowed vacations again in the mafia bc mori gave them one and now they’re banned in several countries

i wanna read about how chuuya got drunk as fuck and accidentally released arahabaki on some guy who pissed him off and now there’s a random crater in the city somewhere and dazai will never let him live it down.

please give me skk fic recommendations where they’re just being silly criminal teens. preferably that give mori either death or a cancerous headache.

[euph0niious]

#2

summary: dungeon reunion scene but gayer, somehow.

-

Stupidly vibrant red hair and mismatched brown and blue eyes paired with a painfully pitiful height. Behold: Nakahara Chuuya, in the flesh.

“A sight to rival a million dollar masterpiece-”

Fuck.

He sounded the same; the unique rasp as prominent as ever curling around his words- the result of a lifetime of shouting and irreparable damage to his voice box from when he had crawled out of Suribachi city.

It wasn’t that Dazai was blind- he recognised that Chuuya managed to be an anomaly where most things were concerned. He just didn’t expect to have a heart attack from the sheer and abrupt concentration of Chuuya.

As someone with near unparalleled mastery of their body, being caught off guard wasn’t a common nor particularly pleasant experience. But, as he tended to do whenever in near vicinity of Chuuya, he fumbled.

Resisting the urge to ask something inane such as ‘You think I’m worth a million dollars?’ He went with something just as embarrassing but much less desperate.

“The worst,” he mutters, like an idiot. “Absolutely the worst.”

There, he’s fucked it up. 4 years of thousands of plans for their reunion, and not a single one of them without a genius insult granted to make Chuuya fly into rage. The age old fascination reared its ugly head and hit Dazai full force, merciless in its inelegance.

“What a lovely response, it makes me want to strangle you,” Chuuya says pointedly, as irritatingly observant in regards to Dazai as ever.

Cracking his fists menacingly, Chuuya smirks; the actor in the spotlight; the villain in the scene; on script as always, Mori would laugh watching the feed later.

Like a game of particularly tedious ping pong, it’s Dazai’s turn to respond. Awfully, embarrassingly, he fumbles. 

Again.

The problem, Dazai was beginning to realise, was that he had never accounted for the fact four years of no contact did absolutely nothing to smother the urge to pick Chuuya apart piece by meticulous piece to examine what exactly made Chuuya so… Chuuya.

“Well, well,” he starts, longing for a nice river. “The chibi in black is talking,” and then, because Dazai was a very sorry shameful being: “I’ve always wanted to ask why you bought that tacky hat.”

Why? Why would he say that? He was spying on Chuuya when he got the hat through the bug he snuck in. He was there during the entire Verlaine fiasco. He knew what the hat was for and who it came from.

Even Chuuya had paused at this, taken aback by his pathetically miserable attempt at gaining some sort of control over the play.

Just end me, he begs in the safe confines of his mind where he couldn’t possibly embarrass himself any further.

Oh you’re a soukoku fan?

How does it feel to be so in love with someone that you gaslight yourself into thinking you hate them

[sad-emo-dip-dye]

It’s a love language actually

[slovo-theshattered-onion]

Ah, to be Owned

lmao this one is sinful

it's smut is what i'm trying to say. not very good smut but there is kidnapping (this will become a trend) and dazai chooses to become a pet because chuuya head scritches are ethereal and freedom is overrated :relieved:

once again i have no memory of writing this and it feels vaguely like i was on drugs but i know i wasn't because i don't do drugs so like how can i explain this. i don't know i'm scared /j

[flamie-42]
