It Was Worth Trying by MidnightLightHowlite | Art by Misa
Rating: General Audiences
Seeing Dazai float face down in a river was not all that unusual. True, it hadn't happened in four years, but the view was not exactly a foreign one. No, what was foreign was the fact that Dazai seemed to be shorter. And younger. And didn't remember him. In retrospect, Chuuya probably shouldn't have let the boy call Mori because that allowed his boss to put him on babysitting duty.
(Or Dazai gets deaged. No romance will happen till they are both the same age again.)
Bandaged Sheep by MidnightLightHowlite | Art by Abel
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
There had been something very weird, very off about the new recruit. He had popped up out of thin air a few months ago, wrapped from head to toe in bandages. Not a word of what he did before, saying he wanted to join the sheep. He wasn't strong or skilled, and truly, there was no logical reason for Chuuya to pay him any mind.
But then the Port Mafia put a huge bounty on his head and things started to get interesting
these days, youâre fine by AquarianTwin | Art by Nella
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Fifth-grade classmates Q and Aya are convinced that their older brothers would make a perfect pair if theyâd just stop fighting for five minutes. Dazai and Chuuya, who have been dating for over a year, find this too funny to correct them.
Dazai takes in his younger sibling, Q, after theyâre removed from their fatherâs home. Overwhelmed by the responsibility of raising of a child when he can barely keep himself alive some days, Dazai leans on his partner, Chuuya, to help lead him through. Itâs a good thing Q gets along so well with Chuuyaâs younger sister, but Dazai thinks he might die of laughter if the pair try to âsecretlyâ set him up on another date with his own boyfriend.
Project Pinocchio by EKmisao | Art by Ginny

What kept the youngest mafia executive alive enough was a new file, on a newly-acquired powerful cyborg. It started as a project to keep a cyborg a boy. It became more than he expected.
Outrunning Fate by RocketJams | Art by Nanamin
Chuuya laid in the hospital bed, his consciousness slipping away slowly as he patiently awaited his demise. The doctors had assured him he wouldn't feel a thing but for some reason he couldn't shake this feeling his chest. An subtle pain which at this point had coaxed his stomach into a frenzy. Something was wrong but there wasn't a damn thing he could do about it.
In Isolation He Thrived by Maddy | Art by Leo
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
All his life Dazai felt like a tool, a pawn that was just tossed aside when not needed. He was looked down on and felt useless, so slowly a fire ignited within him and turned him into a merciless person also well known as a "Soulless Demon".
He always believed he was destined to do wrong until one day when he finds Chuuya who proves him wrong.
i step from here without you by fatimé | Art by eva

âI used Corruption because I trusted you,â Chuuya gasps out, and the words leave a hole the size of Yokohama in his chest. He punches Dazai right where that hole is and hopes it hurts him just as much as it hurts Chuuya.
Dazai smiles. He catches him when his vision finally goes dark and the next thing Chuuya wakes to is emptiness in his heart and a stack of neatly folded clothes.
In one universe, theyâre partners-turned enemies, the former Double Black, the most fearsome duo in Port Mafia history. Theyâre Soukoku and theyâre spiteful and theyâre tangled up in one another more than theyâd care to admit.
In Blood we are Sealed by Chaosia | Art by RedZeverin
Dazai stared at his subordinate and the white tiger passed out on the ground, dismayed. It almost worked. This was the fourth person they've went to. There was one more person Dazai could take Atsushi to but he had enough reason to guess that it wouldn't work.
There was one person Dazai knew who could do the job. He'd successfully commit suicide though before that gremlin ever found out he had such thoughts. The taste of metallic filled his mouth. He held in the urge to spit it out.
His ears rang as he imagined a shrieking voice yelling his name like it was the worst insult one could come up with and the mirage of fire that surrounded those blue eyes and foul mouth. Ugh, he was so annoying even in his imagination...and short.
Sticking a pinky into his ear to clear out the haunting voice, Dazai went about gathering up his apprentice and the tiger. Maybe fate would take pity on him and this next trip would solve their problem...
He could feel the cursed blood laughing at him all the way back to their hotel room.
Or a magical AU where Dazai inadvertently gets Atsushi cursed and they have to go to Chuuya, a powerful witch in his own right, to break it.
Quatervois by TheWanderingTanteiThief | Art by King
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Quatervois (n.) a crossroads; a critical decision or turning point in one's life
Chuuya didn't expect to see a man hanging from a tree.
Chuuya didn't expect to meet the man again.
Chuuya certainly didn't expect the man to be the crown prince of the kingdom.
...or cardverse au where Dazai is an asshole and Chuuya just wants to have a peaceful life. Is that too much to ask?
flaws and all by alli | Art by phryn
The transition Dazai and Chuuya routinely make between their heated arguing and completely seamless teamwork is being disrupted by their changing relationship. Which is an issue, because the two of them have been assigned to what could possibly be the most important undercover mission of their careers. Will they be able to strengthen their partnership for the better, or will it crack under the ever growing pressure?
As much as he craved that, as easy as it would be to do, it terrified him.
Mirror Mirror In My Eye by MidnightLightHowlite | Art by cchibikko

Dazai didn't have much hope for the next few years of Hogwarts, but would have liked to wait at least a few till Arahabaki noticed him.
Never such luck for the resident mummy.
School year was already shitty as it was, but now he has a fiery angry redhead demanding answers he's not ready to give

thy kingdom come by chubsthehamster | Art by Stella Rasu
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
In a bid to save their continent from destruction, the kingdoms of Ada and the Port Mafia must put aside their years of tension to form an uneasy alliance. An act of holy matrimony unites Princes Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya, marking the beginning of an infamous partnership.
The affair is strictly political, and perhaps for the better. The two hate each other from the beginning.
should we never meet again by setosdarkness | Art by phryn
Sixteen women have been killed by a vicious serial killer haunting Yokohamaâs streets.
Dazai has been chosen to become a part of the elite Bloody Valentine Task Force, even if he personally thinks that itâd be a lot more fun to stay at home with his boyfriend. Especially since it took years to convince Chuuya to finally move in with him.
Itâs just a coincidence that Chuuyaâs agreed to move in with him the moment heâs been chosen to become a part of the Task Force, right?
Resolving the Matter in Spirit by ASentientSlug | Art by Tomomorey
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Dazai's boring, everyday life ends in an accidental double suicide, but instead of facing the sweet release of endless sleep, Dazai finds himself in the Spirit World, where nothing is familiar and dangerous, soul-eating spirits lurk behind every corner. To get out, Dazai must confront the ghosts of his past and the ghosts of his present when one very familiar and yet very dangerous spirit takes Dazai under his wing.
If We Ever Meet Again by Luc | Art by Saiel
It all started with diamonds.
Chuuya thinks he would've been just as attracted to it if it wasn't for the equally shiny police badge in his pocket.
It all ends with a silver bullet.
For someone as talented in the dance of crime, Dazai has developed quite a bias about the jewels that would catch anybody's fancy.
Diamonds? They're overrated. Old. Boring.
âthose are worth getting caught for.
keep your windows open by Maristella | Art by Einjjjj
Rating: General Audiences
Usually, whenever Chuuya jumped, he flew.
This was not one of those times.
(Or, alternatively, where Chuuya breaks into Dazai's mansion as a thief, and comes out as a kidnapper. Even though he's also sort of a kid. And it's also not kidnapping.)
(Not when the victim bribed the kidnapper to take him.)
âYou do know that the treasure doesnât exist, right?â
âThe treasure. You know, the one in the rumours. It doesnât exist.â
ââŠare you screwing with me?â
âIâm not an idiot. If thereâs no treasure, why else are you here then?â
âUmâŠthis is my house?â
(Also featuring: Chuuya and the different types of falling.)

No one understands why Dazaiâs dĂŠmon looks like a boy more often than not.
Book One: Fire by chuuzuke | Art by wandiwoo
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Avatar The Last Airbender/Korra AU: The world has changed. Technology can meet nearly every need, to the point where bending is considered a relic of the past, and with it, the Avatar. In fact, no one has seen the Avatar for nearly 100 years, and most people prefer to keep it that way.
Nakahara Chuuya, Prince of the Fire Nation, more than understands what it's like to be considered a relic. After the Fire nation moved to a parliamentary system, the title of Fire Lord is a largely ceremonial one, and Chuuya struggles under the burden of an office that restricts his every move without giving him any actual power to enact change.
When he runs away, intent on finding his own path, it seems like fate when he runs into Dazai Osamu, a mysterious man who claims he has a way to cure the unexplained illness Chuuya has suffered from his whole life.

They say you donât truly know a person until you live with them. Dazai and Chuuya would argue that they know more about each other than one ought to know about anyone else.
Or: Mori forces 15 year old Dazai and Chuuya to share a flat because he doesnât trust them to be on their own, and he thinks itâll be a good way for them to bond.
Dazai and Chuuya think he's a sadist.
Two rambunctious teen boys, left to their own devices in a multi-million dollar penthouse. What could possibly go wrong?
of flowers and verses by lua & lanipalmer | Art by Yahuri
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
For years, Nakahara Chuuya has been pining over the ex-mafioso himself, Dazai Osamu. So what better to vent than through poetry? Combined with his (frankly, alarming) knowledge of flower languages, this is a story about Chuuya and his frustrations and desires.
Still Worth Fighting For by Maru | Art by ewe
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
"In which Chuuya never joins the port mafia, stops using his ability for fighting out of guilt, and later becomes a hacker.
His life had been relatively peaceful until one day, Dazai appears again at his doorstep asking for his help to find information on âThe Rats.â"
The Necromancer by Ru | Art by etsuki_haru
If you venture into the slums of Suribachi City, youâll find the witch Dazai Osamu, known as the Necromancer, and his barely tamed beast, Arahabaki. If you bring to him the bones of someone, he will bring that person back to life - in exchange for some of your lifespan. But bringing a soul back from the dead turn a heart twisted. Did you get your wish, or dig your own grave? These are the grim tales of a witch and a creature, trying to figure out their humanity, overseeing the consequences of taking death too lightly.
fire and calamity by Jasmine | Art by Zen
Arahabaki has left its vessel, leaving Chuuya in a comatose state. Dazai and the rest of the ADA now have to track the god down and capture it for two reasons. One, because Chuuya knows the whereabouts of the Book. Two, because if they don't, they lose him forever. (ADA!Chuuya, established!SKK)
fight our way to heaven by kiwi | Art by chicchii
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
The redhead had a fire in him that made Dazai want to poke and prod until he could see the limits. Chuuya was so alive and for the first time since Dazai could remember, he wanted to taste and feel that fire.
What he didnât account for was that the decision to follow Chuuya would lead him to discovering memories he didnât know he had and it would make them a target for all ability organizations in Yokohama.
Or the one where we have teen skk against the world.
Everything Comes Back To You by Catsby | Art by Mai

In the period after the war for the Book, the Port Mafia finds itself in need of a Boss. The logical choice for that position would be Chuuya - except Chuuya has gone missing.
AprĂšs Un RĂȘve by manwe.russingon | Art by Sebby

"I wandered long, methought, alone
to the deep shadow where the dead dwell,
but ever a voice that I knew well,
like bells, like viols, like harps, like birds,
like music moving without words,
called me, called me through the night,
enchanted drew me back to the light!"
Nakahara Chuuya, the elven lord commander of the kingsguard of kingdom of Mirkwood, singing in the woods. With a sudden intervention from Dazai Osamu, a mysterious being that was caught in between his tunes, they became best friends afterwards. Or perhaps it is more than that?
Time to time, one story comes with another. The truth finally unveils, and the clock is ticking faster. What exactly is Dazai? Why does he act so familiarly to Chuuya? And perhaps the biggest question we need the answer is: What makes them always connected, even for thousands of years?

âUh, sorry, but unfortunately I already have a date to the dance.â
âOh, really?â Tachihara says, sounding disappointed. He pauses for a second, clearly processing what Chuuyaâs just told him, and then says, âWho is it?â
Chuuya certainly hadnât budgeted for this.
Panicking, he tries to think of the people that he knows that are single, and before he knows it, the first name that comes to mind is slipping out of his mouth. âWith Dazai.â / After a momentary lapse in judgment, high school student Chuuya ends up having to pretend to date his enemy Dazai to get Tachihara off of his back - and quickly finds it's nowhere as bad as he'd imagined.
Of Boxers and Bachelors by writingfromtheshadows | Art (1 & 2 & 3) by Angella

When Dazai Osamu gets cut off from the family's coffers in an attempt to regulate his behavior, he decides to find a way around his father's ultimatum. Faking an engagement with an underground boxer sounds like the perfect scandal...
Crimson Memoirs by Luneath & Abel | Art by lefterstein
By the power of great ancient magic, supernatural beings are aptly hidden just behind the eyelids of humans. Vampires, witches, weres, faeries â all of them live and exist out of the fairy tales books.
Humans' eyes are just shielded into not comprehending their true nature, their magic, and their trickery. To protect them, the Gods say. But Dazai has always known that heâs no ordinary human. From the gift of seeing beyond the magic veil to the peculiar dreams to the aching, hollow feeling hugging his chest in a tight embrace â he knows heâs different.
What Dazai doesnât know is that this isnât the start of his story and the stranger with glowing blue eyes that have always been the center of his recurring dreams. What Dazai doesnât know is that this is not exactly his first life. Dazai doesn't know a lot of things. But with time, he will come to know that he doesn't mind dying the second time for Chuuya.
entanglement by Shinkirou | Art by Zevy
Not everyone has a destined partner. Theoretically, even Dazai and Chuuya aren't supposed to. Are being programmed not to, even.
But whether they're "meant" to be together or not is irrelevant. Dazai wants Chuuya to be his, and so Chuuya will be his.
... If only it were actually that simple.
pointless by Lua | Art by Behax
It was an annoyance after everything that happened, and yet, Chuuya found himself on the doorsteps of a man that he had more than enough reasons to kill. He could come up with excuses, but he was not in the habit of lying to himself. At times, Chuuya would describe their relationship as an addiction he couldn't get rid of. This was ridiculous. Dazai was now a traitor and a coward; what did that make of Chuuya himself to know where to find him and keep that a secret?
Latent Identities by RocketJams | Art by Seiran
He could deny it however many times he wanted to, but Dazai could see through it every time. The lies over his lips, the false smiles and misleading words. He could fool anyone else into believing he was who he said he was. Though whenever he smiled, Dazai could feel it. Something was wrong, he wasn't Chuuya.
Before I Fall by hellosweetie17 | Art by Nanamin
Chuuyaâs oblivious to the circumstances surrounding their fragile world; Dazaiâs made sure of it.
Mighty Long Fall by quinnlocke | Art by Xoinks
When Dazai betrays the ADA for the Port Mafia, heâs greeted as the prodigal son. That doesnât mean heâs trusted, however, and now that heâs betrayed the Port Mafia and ADA alike, he has far more enemies than friends. As Dazai works to survive the heart of the viperâs nest, it quickly becomes clear that Chuuya will save him - or be the reason he fails.
Chuuya, meanwhile, knows Dazai too well to trust that his cards are on the table. But as he finds himself at Dazaiâs mercy, and caught between loyalties, he realizes thereâs no other option but to master the god that lives beneath his skin and hope he survives long enough to protect the organization to whom heâs sworn his life.
But first they both must realize that a mighty long fall awaits.

Dazai's plan to stop Fyodor involves sacrificing his life. He should have known that even the best-made plans are useless when thereâs someone like Chuuya out there, who just wonât stop saving him.
A journey of growing and growing old together.

Lifeline by Abel | Art (1 & 2 & 3) by phryn
Nakahara Chuuya is a normal kid. He has two parents who loves him very much even though he's not really their son. He's a good student even though he's not on top. He's popular and has a lot of friends. Everything in his life is fine-- perfectly fine.
Until he bumps into another kid his age, bandages wrapped all over him. Dazai Osamu-- he said his name was, with a tone of amusement and yet tinged with longing.
Little did he know, that fated meeting will change his life forever.
Canât Be Tamed by stargazerlilith | Art by Abel
The boss of the Port Mafia is merciless against those who oppose him.
Well he was, until he resigned himself to the fate of the notorious dating app known as Tinder.
