What I feel the CaPri fandom sometimes fails to understand is that Damen only looks stupid compared to Laurent and Laurent only looks weak compared to Damen.
Damen is one of the few people who pick up on Laurent's schemes - sure, he picks up on things more slowly than Laurent, who has an insider's view of the situation and is actually the person in control of his schemes (in addition to his godlike intelligence), but Damen sees through what Laurent is doing more quickly than anyone else, even people who have known Laurent for years, and manages to keep up with his logic most of the time when no one else does. In book 1 he always manages to read a situation pretty accurately based on the knowledge he has - he can see what Laurent's options are and where the political lines are drawn, he just doesn't know how to mess with them as creatively as Laurent does.
Similarly, Laurent is one of the most competent fighters in the setting and only looks weak compared to Damen, the God of Warfare, who is like 2 meters tall and 2 meters wide. He's not some helpless uwu smol bean, he can hold his own, gives Damen a damn good fight even though he's been recently injured and fucks up several other people described as very strong fighters during the course of the series.
Okay, I'm rambling BUT
I think people forget that Chuuya is one of the very few people who know Dazai. Like, actually know him past his masks. That Dazai isn't the only one who can hurt Chuuya, that Chuuya can hurt Dazai just as much. Because Chuuya knows Dazai. Knows what makes him angry and what makes him act in certain ways to some extent and can understand his plans with no words sometimes
People focus on Dazai hurting Chuuya. But nobody thinks Chuuya can strike back just as hard. You really think Chuuya didn't at some point absolutely made Dazai feel like shit to the point it made his mind spin for nights? You really think Chuuya hasn't made Dazai feel guilty at least once?
I headcanon that when Chuuya is so pissed he becomes serious his words are pure poison. I headcanon that Chuuya can hurt Dazai more than anyone else could think. I headcanon that Chuuya even has said some very hurtful things to Dazai from time to time and has regretted them terribly. That there were points when Chuuya broke Dazai right back.
Soukoku are equals in ways not many would think. They are soulmates. I'm pretty sure if there's someone who could hurt Dazai for real, it isn't even Mori, but Chuuya.
I bet they struggled at some points to understand when their bickering was okay and when it actually came too far and one or both got genuinely hurt.
Chuuya keeps much to himself, so I think everyone should be absolutely terrified for the moment he actually bursts. Genuinely bursts.
similar, but still different.

manhua: The Villainess Refuses to Flirt with the ML
Tom Marvolo Riddle is a very complex character.
We are talking about a child, a child grew up in the midset of WWII in an orphanage who's matron was an alcoholic woman. He also came from a long line of incestuous relationships and was a result of Amortentia/Imperius Curse. It is implied that they called doctors and priests before to "treat him" or "exorcise him"
I find it weird that Dumbledore, a man who grew up with a child with magical problems and a flawless mentor to so many people cannot recognize signs of abuse here. Instead of trying to help the kid or making him open up, he silently judges him because he is coming from Slytherin heritage and proceeds to burn his wardrobe to traumatize him even more.
This is not you handle a kid who shows bad behavior and I am sure Dumbledore, who is in his 50s in this scene knows it even better than me. This will only make the kid resent you and be cautioned against you. Dumbledore asks Tom to open up towards him about the Chamber of Secrets and this is precise reason why a fifteen year old avoided Dumbledore to not get in even more trouble.
I believe no children should be treated as their existence is a fault at first, while we look through Tom we need to remember this is not a serial-killer man with genocidal ideas but rather a teenager with mental illness. In my opinion he has either narcissistic personality disorder or antisocial personality disorder, he has no qualms about using someone to get what he wants because he is raised in that way. There wasn't a comfort area he could take refuge in so he simply created one, he has a weak self-esteem if he makes a 14 year old boy, who doesn't possess even quarter of his power bow before him
Well, I think his character could be handled so much better if it weren't for Rowling's one dimensional look on villains. We could see his psychology and the sufferings he endured as an orphan during WWII and the bullying of his peers because he didn't have any respectable surname as well. This is why I am a little too obsessed with TMR fanfictions and his descend into madness, he has potential.
Ladies, gentle men, and everything in between I present to you yet another idea born from the depths of my mind an extremely tiring day. This one has been bouncing around my poor head for a little over a week and at long last I know how to word it in a way that makes sense. Hopefully.
So we all know that Dazai doesn't particularly like dogs. Some people think it is do to some kind of trauma. I am not one of those people. Not everything to do with a person or character is linked to a past experience sometimes that's just how they are. Personally I don't think Dazai has any experience with a dog that traumatized and made him hate them. I just think he has never liked them.
Now sometimes people who don't like dogs will accidentally and to their shock come across a dog that completely steals their heart and they absolutely love. They won't like any other dog. They aren't suddenly a dog person but they would gladly kill for that one specific dog. This idea stems from that.
I'm thinking this would most likely happen a few weeks to about 2-3 months after Dazai leaves the Port Mafia. So he's alone and in hiding. One day he goes out for groceries, because food and bandages, and there's this group of kids in an ally, they're maybe a year or two younger than Dazai would be at the time, and are surrounded a small creature. Dazai doesn't think much off it till he hears whining from the animals followed by what sounds like someone intentionally harming it.
Dazai, against his better judgment, decided to get involved. He scares these kids off and finds a small red nosed pitbull puppy that is a few months old. She is easily less than a year old. She's banged up but not hurt so bad that he need to take her to the vet. Once more against his better judgement he brings this puppy back to where ever he is staying at the time. He plans to only keep her around till she is finished healing then take her to an animal shelter.
It takes him less than a week to decide to keep the puppy. He then proceeds to name her Ember. Ember becomes the only exception to his hatred for dogs. Fat forward to him joining the agency and Ember now has separation anxiety because he barely left her alone for the last two years. He bring Ember with him to the agency every day. Ember, being the sweetheart she is, learns rather quickly how to do things that protect Dazai while in the field.
Throughout the time he is with Ember he starts to do better mental at least marginally because she is reliant on him being alive to survive and he doesn't want his puppy to die. Essentially Ember is his unofficial emotional support animal.
Due to that him meeting Atsushi would probably go different. Possibly him walking Ember or something like that.
Later on when he reunites with Chuuya officially during the Guild arc he naturally brought Ember and that would be the first time Chuuya meets her. Ember instantly loves him which is good because Chuuya also adores her.
Dazai uses that as an excuse to spend time with Chuuya because "Obviously I can't deprive my sweet Ember of time with her second favorite person". Somewhere along the line they start unofficially dating and about a week after dead apple would have taken place they make things official and Dazai moves into Chuuya's place.
Ember is very happy with that development because that means more time with her favorite humans.
Also Ember has a wonky ear due to what happened when Dazai found her. It's nothing bad it's just wonky and makes her look like an adorable little dork.
ive been going nuts on tracking everything so i ended up with this list im pretty sure i missed a lot of fics that should be here aaaaa but i will try to add them up on my links page
Enjoy! (fic authors are in alphabetical order!)

A dead man’s tale
It is almost a normal Yule winter night when Harry James Potter, 17 year old wizard and future husband of the Dark Lord of Britain finds a portrait of a dead man in one of Hogwarts dark rooms.
Opia
Harry Potter is finally 17. Free to leave the Dursleys behind and start a new life as an independent wizard (if staying at Ron´s until he gets that apartment in London can be called independence, anyway), he does what any young man in possession of a good fortune would: he third-wheels and goes to a museum.
It´s not really a bad plan. The Malfoys had announced they had made a big donation to the newly opened “Myths and Prophecies: Lord Voldemort´s secret collection”:
The Boy With The Green Eyes collection. All of it.
Home
“Are you lonely?”
Always the same conversation.
“Maybe. Sometimes.”
“Sometimes I am, too. I think.”
—
Six years after the battle of Hogwarts and the death of the Dark Lord, Harry Potter dreams of a little girl in a forest. Because it was never really over.
And six seconds
The memory had dissolved like grew smoke, carring away Tom Riddle’s dark eyes and the little peak of skin both Dumbledore and Harry had been able to see before the boy had hid his hands behind his back. The unforgiving, black ink had winked at Harry from the inside of Tom´s wrists.
Tom Riddle did have numbers on him.
And they kept filling Harry’s thoughts at the oddest times.

Or the `everyone has a clock on their skin counting down to the day the will meet their soulmate AU´no one asked for but I wrote anyway

Cardiomyopathy
Voldemort has never lied to him before. Why would he start now? Harry reasoned that if Voldemort wasn’t lying and Voldemort really loved him, then it was ok to love him back… Even if it meant the world had to burn. First they broke the world. Then he broke my heart.
New Divide
Harry Potter was the Boy-Who-Lived. But by some twist of Fate he was also the reincarnation of Voldemort’s murdered lover. Harry has enjoyed the past few years at Hogwarts, but this one looks set to be even more intriguing. Suddenly smarter than he was before and plagued with memories of his past life as he sleeps, Harry gets set for his school year. But then Voldemort finds out who Harry really is. And every thing changes.
The Fickle Hand of Fate
Harry Potter died in 1981, but in 1993 Harry finally arrives at Hogwarts. No one seems to know he should be dead, except Dumbledore, who stole someone else’s son to replace the Boy-Who-Didn’t-Live.

The Explosion (orphaned fic)
Usually, in other Fics, Harry goes to the past, meets an older or same age Tom in Hogwarts, and is sorted into Slytherin. Harry is usually there to change Tom and Tom is a “teenage Dark Lord.” In THIS Fic, Tom is a bullied 3rd year, believed to be a Mud-blood, and has his first ever crush on Henry Peverell, the 6th year Gryffindor, who is not there to change Tom, but rather…

In Somno Veritas
“Are you often in my dreams, Harry? I have not touched your mind since our little encounter at the Department of Mysteries… and yet here you are… saving me in my nightmares.”
An LV/HP alternate universe story set during Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Yew and Holly
Harry brings his lover back to Britain to spend Christmas at the Weasleys. But things never go to plan when your name is Harry Potter – or your lover is Lord Voldemort. Takes place five years after the events of ‘In Somno Veritas.’ LV/HP.

Simple Request
A bit of a holiday fic
Sure friends helped each other out when they had problems. Harry just wished Tom’s problems weren’t so damned complicated. Why couldn’t the other get some other poor soul to play the part of his fiancé?

Pianissimo
“It’s not wise for the living to make contact with the truly lost, Harry.“
Harry makes a terrible mistake while at Kings Cross Station and pays the price.
We’re going to be beautiful, Harry
Every wizard had a soul mark. Some were large, spanning the length of ones body, and some were small enough to fit inside a palm or behind an ear. Of course, by all accounts, Harry Potter was not ‘every wizard’.

A Christmas Riddle
Tom Riddle hated Christmas. Travelling to the future would not change that fact. Harry Potter hated Riddle. And mistletoes. Time Travel AU. HP/TR Oneshot.
I Have Seen Your Heart
The arrival of his nemesis is the least of Harry Potter’s problems. Now that the war is over, he finds himself drifting away from all that held him together in the past, trying to find a new purpose in his life. Being framed for murder forces Harry to be on the run and this time the only company he takes with him is Tom Riddle. The young Dark Lord faces a future he did not expect, meets an oddity who killed everything he strived to be. And yet he finds himself obsessed with his murderer, a determined man searching for answers and reaching for the sky once more. Harry Potter’s purpose and Tom Riddle’s destiny, seemingly entwined. They say change is overrated. But choice is everything.
Chasing The Careless Traveler
Albus Dumbledore was too late. Someone else managed to defeat Gellert, leaving chaos and too many questions behind. Tom Riddle, who recently graduated from Hogwarts, was fully committed to become the greatest Dark Lord of all time, chasing immortality and surpassing Grindelwald’s legacy. It’s too bad that Unspeakable Harry Potter had something to say about that.
asterisms (i love everything tbh)
In Which Tom Riddle Can’t Stop Underestimating House-Elves
“I do find it strange, however,” Riddle says, “that you’re so offended on Hepzibah’s behalf. It’s not every day that you come across a common thief with such lofty morals.”
“I- What?” Harry widens his eyes, making himself look appropriately appalled at the suggestion, “A thief? What do you mean?”
“Do cut the pretense, Harry,” Riddle says, and Harry hates the way he shivers when the other man says his name as his hand curls just a bit lower on his back, just shy of inappropriate. “We both know what you are.”
Or: Harry is a thief with morals and Tom is a terrible person
a boy so pretty (such a pity)
“Riddle,” he greets carefully. His gaze flicks over to the Slytherin table, but none of them are paying any attention. Which is… worrying, actually. He looks back to Riddle, who’s still looming over him. “What can I do for you?”
“Potter,” Riddle says, and he actually sounds… nice. This is growing more suspicious by the second. “May I escort you to class?”
Ron snorts, not even attempting to disguise the sound.
“You’re joking, right?” he asks, leaning forward to glare up at the other boy, “Fuck off, Riddle. Harry doesn’t need an escort from you.”
Harry watches Riddle’s face carefully. His expression sours, but only for a moment before it’s smooth again. He smiles, and if Harry didn’t know better, he might call it charming.
Well. Okay. He really does know better.
But it’s still charming.
Featuring attempted manipulation, Tom Riddle experiencing positive emotions for quite possibly the first time ever, and absolutely no angst whatsoever
Whirpools (WIP, on-hold)
After a mishap in the Department of Mysteries, Harry Potter is thrown back in time to the summer before Tom Riddle’s final year at Hogwarts. While there, he is forced to confront the fact that he knows next to nothing about his nemesis and those who follow him. Unfortunately, as he does his best to learn, he is unable to stay out of Riddle’s sight for long, and he is drawn once more into the conflict between light and dark.
This time, however, the lines are blurred, and nothing is as simple as he’s been led to believe.
moment of impact
“How’d we meet?” he asks. The faint blush that spreads across Harry’s cheeks is rather enchanting and definitely worth the admission of ignorance.
“Well,” Harry pauses, biting his lip again. Tom wishes he would stop. It’s making it hard to concentrate. “It’s a funny story… Actually, sorry, it’s not funny at all. I- Well.”
“Go on.”
“I kind of… hit you with my car?”
“I hit you with my car and was the only one to visit you in the hospital” AU
99 Crickets
Harry reaches out to hesitantly take the box and lifts it so he can see what’s inside. When he does, he sees… crickets?
“What?”
The man smiles, and it looks almost sheepish. Harry has never been more confused in his life, except…
“I know you said you wanted one hundred and this is only fifteen, but I haven’t had much time to look since I arrived yesterday. I’ll get the rest later.”
Oh.
Oh no.
Settle
“We had a deal,” Harry reminds him. He walks forward, away from the doorway. The stone floor is cold against his bare feet. “You broke it because you thought I wouldn’t hold you to it. You don’t get to be mad just because you were wrong.”
Voldemort is caught in a lie, and Harry decides to punish him.
Tomorrow brings them true
The boy from District 1 is staring again.
Dark Lord Coffee
“It’s true, you know,” Luna says airily as she stirs her third spoonful of honey into her tea.
“Sorry.” Harry looks up from the cover of the Quibbler that he’s been eyeing. Surprising absolutely no one, their most recent cover story is about Voldemort’s new business. “What’s true?”
“That Voldemort runs a coffee shop in London,” Luna tells him. She takes a sip of her tea and hums happily at the taste. “I saw him there myself.”
Prompt Fill: in which Voldemort runs his empire from a coffee shop and wizards are generally very ridiculous
(i wanna) cut to the feeling
“You promised you would marry me,” Tom says.
“I—” Harry feels lightheaded. “Tom, we were seven.”
“So you lied?”
“No,” Harry says. Surer, then, “No. I didn’t.”
Harry and Tom are childhood friends. When they were seven, Tom proudly announced that he would marry Harry when they were older.Now, ten years later and in N.E.W.T. year, Tom plans on making that promise a reality.
shiver (where we’ll go and where we’ve been)
“There’s something about you.”
Their hands touch.
“I know what you mean.” A breathless moment. Their fingers fold together. “It’s like I’ve known you forever. Since even before we met.”
“Yes.” The other boy’s hold on him grows tighter. Painful. He doesn’t say anything. “Exactly.”
“Maybe we were made for each other.”
He waits for the other boy to laugh. He doesn’t.
“Maybe we were.”
Maybe he should say something.
Hands up, it’s a hold up
“You know, you’re pretty morally ambiguous for a hero,” Harry says as he watches Tom set one of the would-be robbers on fire. He’d protest or maybe put the fire out himself, but the man was about to stab him, so he thinks he’s got the higher ground here.
Tom takes a step back to observe his handiwork, looking far too smug for Harry’s peace of mind.
“Oddly enough, you’re not the first person to say that to me.”
“Wow. Shocker.”
A superhero au featuring Harry Potter, reluctant super-villain, and Tom Riddle, the city’s favorite hero.
