bsd femslash exchange interest check 🍂

bsd rarepair exchange: femslash fall interest check

every single femslash ship in bungou stray dogs is considered a rarepair by the bsd rarepair exchange standards; even the most popular one h

every single femslash ship in bungou stray dogs is considered a rarepair by the bsd rarepair exchange standards; even the most popular one has less than 200 fics on ao3 using the otp: true filter. so, i thought it might be fun to run a round of this exchange dedicated only to femslash ships! this will include couples and polyships made up of canonically female characters (i.e. no genderbend ships). nonbinary/transfem/etc. headcanons of canonically female characters are allowed.

this exchange will be hosted through ao3 with an optional discord server for participants to join. assuming there is enough interest to run the exchange, the discord server will open at the conclusion of the interest check.

this form will remain open through july 31, 2026

Okay thanks! I’ve been in a huge writing slump lately and have been looking for exchanges/shipping weeks in fandoms I’m in. I saw a request in your list that I’d love love love to take but I’ve literally never participated in one of these before. Green behind the ears! As the collection is closed, do I post is as normal as a gift for someone or…? Yeah sorry I have NO idea how these work and zero fandom friends to guide me snjsjsjsjsjsjsj

the collection itself should still be open for late treats, so you're free to add your piece to the collection! our posting guide has a section that explains how to post treats

(if the collection isn't coming up in the dropdown menu when trying to post, it's a glitch on ao3's end that i unfortunately cannot fix. typing "bsdrarepairexchange2026" into the "post to collection/challenge" field and hitting enter should add it to the collection regardless of whether or not the dropdown shows it as an option)

[bsd-rarepair-exchange]

WHAT THE FUVK I FOUND THIS TOO LATE

Is it still open? :(

if you’d like to create a treat (i.e. making a gift for someone without getting anything in return) for any of the requests from this round the collection is still open for posting!

(requests: ao3 link | auto ao3 app)

as for participating in the exchange itself, this round is over, but you can keep an eye on this blog for updates about our next event 🫶

Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Akutagawa Ryuunosuke/Lucy Maud Montgomery (Bungou Stray Dogs) Additional Tags: Established Relationship, Fluff, akutagawa and the orphans from his backstory appear!!, There’s just no tag for them, Fairy Tale Elements, Post-Canon, Minor Dazai Osamu/Kunikida Doppo/Nakahara Chuuya (Bungou Stray Dogs), Implied ADHD, Implied Chronic Pain, Canon Compliant

Summary:

The route Ryuunosuke takes is familiar, by now. Weaving through the streets and alleyways, he turns the extra corners mainly on instinct—no one would be following him at this time of day, but shaking off twenty-three years of habit doesn’t come easy. Though, he supposes he can never be too careful. There have been reports of minor skirmishes on the docks recently, some minor group of criminals trying to get a foot in the door the most destructive way possible. He would take care of them himself, but apparently they’re not quite high enough of a priority on the Boss’ list to send him or any of the other executives to go deal with. 

(Ryuunosuke, on green-eyed princesses.)

My fic for @bsd-rarepair-exchange! I had so much fun with this, thank you for the fun prompts!!

Finals week.

No one has ever said they're a fan of finals week. Higuchi thinks that would be an original thought if someone was actually a fan. It's a gladiator ring of stress and citations. She's going a bit stir crazy studying and doing essay prep and idiotic group project and office hours; it's becoming a bit much. Higuchi lives in the library now.

Higuchi is stressed trying to write her final paper and Louisa shows up with some support.

“His birthday comes every year, you know,” Akutagawa comments unhelpfully when he steps into the cafe kitchen. There’s flour dusted from the counter top to the floor in one corner and stacks of sandwiches and snacks shoved into another. There were about a million dirty spoons and piping bags surrounding her with a dirty mixing bowl just out of sight too.

“Humor isn’t your strong suit,” Lucy groans, not looking away from the cake. Her wrists were sore and her eyes were giving her a headache, but she couldn’t stop; it had to be perfect.

Lucy plans something for Atsushi's birthday and Akutagawa helps in his own way.

Treat for @leftoverbriocheloaf <33 I love their shenanigans so much I gotta write more of themmm

Ranpo/Dazai fic I wrote for the @bsd-rarepair-exchange !

Summery:

Ranpo pulls away with another quick kiss to Dazai's cheek and then grimaces. The shorter of the two wipes his mouth off and sticks his tongue out. “Conceler?”

“I’m making a good impression.”

The detective's frown deepens. “Zai, my parents don’t care what you look like.”

Meet the family fic!

There's an air of dust and age seeping out of the walls of binders in here. The metal shelves here probably hold more information than the local library. Sigma would know. They wrote them. After the events of the airport, Sigma woke up with a job. They were instructed, interrogated, and tortured for the record every memory of Fyodor Dostoevsky from start to finish.

All the files are condensed and organized in their humble little storage closet. The survival of all of humanity relies on their ability. Their life's purpose is either in this shitty closet or destroyed with the rest of the Sky Casino.

Their own personal files are a measly two pages.

"Sigma, what are you doing in the storage closet?"

Sigma is caught in a spiral by Kunikida.

(multiple times the agency tells Sigma that they belong + the time Sigma shows they fit right in)

My gift for @littencloud9 <33 This was so much fun to write and wow I love putting Sigma through the wringer! Yay

She meets Gin's eyes, who was staring at her with a knowing look. Leave it to her to know, no? She's almost frightened by how easily Gin seems to read people. Must come with the Mafia training. "The weretiger," Gin says, Higuchi looking over at her. The wheels turning in her head were quite obvious. That was embarrassing too! Had they come just to make her heart run laps? (Maybe this is something friends do, though— tease each other without even knowing it.) "It's the weretiger, I'm surprised nobody else has seen it."

Well… it's not that nobody has seen it. Lucy has seen the way Dazai's eyes linger a little too long with a grin on his face when he sees Lucy and Atsushi talking when Atsushi really should be working (as if Dazai himself isn't skipping work!) She's seen the way Naomi whispers to her brother with a bright smile whenever Atsushi brings the Tanizakis down to have some coffee. She's seen the way Kunikida lets out a sigh, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips when she and Atsushi walk into the building together. It's just that the person who she wants to see it seems to be blind!

And clearly, Gin and Higuchi have seen it.

Lucy rubs the back of her neck, unable to stop herself from fidgeting nervously. Her skin burned, but she paid that no mind, her focus completely on the two before her. Higuchi and Gin stared at each other, no longer trying figuring out the inner workings of Lucy's love, but trying to figure out now what they can do for it. A mission they've given themselves!
