great. i’m so glad for you asagiri. i hope you’re enjoying your electronic ab device. i really am. can i ask what on god’s green earth is going on in your manga series Bungo Stray Dogs
FEATURING: dazai osamu
SUMMARY: the chronicles of a chance meeting between a suffering mafia boss and a vivacious (almost) grad student. {fem!reader, beast au compliant, romance & tragedy, wc: ??? (currently 70k with 1 chapter left to finish)}
AUTHOR'S NOTES: and so begins side b. this one will not be as light as badlands HAHA but i still had a lot of fun writing it. it was tough, this is primarily in dazai's pov to reflect how badlands was primarily reader's, but i think it came out well. shout out to éliane for helping me with the banner when i was weeping because i had no good ideas as to how to relate it to the unreal unearth album </3 so she went out of her way to add the lil daisies and mimic the handwriting on the font </3 she is truly an angel.
GENERAL WARNINGS: beast au compliant, dazai is a lot more unhinged here - more possessive and deranged thoughts than badlands!dazai, sometimes they come very abruptly so can a bit jarring (PERSONALLY i think they're tame, but we all have our own judgments on that so i figure i'll just be generous with warnings to be safe)
SEE: WATERLOO SERIES MASTERLIST READ: BADLANDS SIDE A
INSTALLMENT ONE: ALL THINGS END (coming: april 5th!)
SUMMARY: all of dazai's carefully calculated plans come to an abrupt halt when you run into him at a club. he thinks fate is a funny thing, that despite all of his desperate attempts to stay away from you, it still leads you right to him. one night, he decides, is all he'll allow. one night of indulgence, and then things will go back to how they were. that's how it has to be to keep you safe.
INSTALLMENT TWO: FIRST LIGHT (coming: april 12th!)
SUMMARY: dazai severely overestimated his self-control. it takes approximately six days and thirteen hours for him to break, seeking you out again. when he does, he knows that nothing will ever be the same.
INSTALLMENT THREE: TO SOMEONE FROM A WARM CLIMATE (coming: april 19th!)
SUMMARY: you're with him. you're actually with him. everything all of the other dazais have got to experience, he now can too. in his exhilaration, he almost forgets about the threats lurking on the horizon. until you slap him in the face with it, that is.
INSTALLMENT FOUR: I, CARRION (coming: april 26th!)
SUMMARY: the day of the event has arrived and dazai is second guessing everything, but it's too late for him to back out now.
INSTALLMENT FIVE: ICARIAN (coming: may 3rd!)
SUMMARY: dazai had known he was flying too close to the sun, he should have stopped himself while he still had the chance.
INSTALLMENT SIX: FRANCESCA (coming: may 10th!)
SUMMARY: ???
Atsushi joins the Port Mafia for the exchange... and barely a month later, Fukuzawa gets a phone call from Mori to take him back.
Fukuzawa: Is everything alright?
Mori: You know, I thought it was just a readjustment period. But I can't take it anymore! He is ruining my organisation!
Fukuzawa: How so?
Mori: He regularly breaks Q out of their confinement to get crepes and sweets.
Q refuses to hurt people now, unless they purposefully hurt them first, even took out all of those blades. One of my most dangerous weapons, useless.
Fukuzawa: Is that all?
Mori: Not even. Just last week Higuichi came to my office and said "you know sir, I think you're right. I don't think the Mafia is the place for me."
I said that as a test of loyalty, not to make her actually leave.
Fukuzawa: That would explain the new job application I saw on my desk earlier.
Mori: And don't get me wrong, I'd kill her now just for the sheer audacity. But Akutugawa has refused to take any missions until her safety is assured at the Agency.
And given your little brat has stopped him from killing people. Along with the casualties from the Decay of Angels incident, I can't afford to lose Akutugawa.
Fukuzawa: Ah, he's still keeping his word I see.
Mori: Yup. No matter what order I give him, his promise to the weretiger seems to outclass his loyalty to me.
Fukuzawa: They truly are, Shin Soukoko.
Mori: sighs Indeed. And Atsushi seems to have taken a page out of Dazai's book to personally spite me. I swear I almost prefer the old Demon Prodigy to... This.
Fukuzawa: amused Are you... Afraid of Atsushi?
Mori:... That boy has convinced 3 of my most dangerous killers into never killing again.
Kouyou is happier than she's been in years because of him. He damn near stopped Chuuya going on a war path, because he made him laugh.
And somehow! Stopped Kaiji from blowing up a civilian train... The man I employed specifically to blow up civilian trains!
Fukuzawa: It seems he's had a busy month.
Mori: And I can't even predict him, so yes, I am a little...intimadated by Atsushi.
Fukuzawa: That's not what I asked and you know it.
Mori: Regardless, he is ruining the Port Mafia from the inside out and you are coming to get him.
Fukuzawa: Hmm, nope.
Mori:... What...?
Fukuzawa: You asked for this, and I think you'll benefit from his presence. He's quite the, light in the darkness so to speak. I will be there to get him when our agreement ends.
Mori: Fukuzawa... Fukuzawa don't you dare!
Fukuzawa: Send him my regards hangs up.

Silly Halloween comic 🎃 (pretend I posted this on time)
Dazai Chronicles Episode 3 guys
Idk, I just felt that it was funny. He wouldn't react this way but it'd be funny if he did lol
TW: kinda gory??
Watched Pet Sementary (1989) and decided to bring back my Zombiezai concept and give him a zombie cat :P
Bonding over their unadulterated hatred for Osamu Dazai's existence
Dazai is the ultimate consequence. Thoughts and prayers for kunikida
someone tells atsushi that he's too quick and willing to see the good in people and should test them and then he sees the orange peel theory so now when he meets someone he asks them to peel an orange especially if theyre in an opposing organization
chuuya doens't know why dazai's weird kid approached him with an orange and asked to peel it for him but uh... sure? why not? did the kid not have oranges where he came from -- chuuya would be the last person to judge for that
kajii "i can only make bombs out of lemons, kid"
higuchi would do it without question and then afterwards be like wait why the fuck did i do that
gin knows its like a boyfriend check thing trend adn almost maims atsushi for approaching ppl not-her-brother until atsushi explains
tbf most ppl just do it out of just pure confusion like
before atsushi can even think of asking mori fukuzawa presents him with the oranges so atsushi doesn't think mori would ever be a better dad i mean boss than him
