Let me lock myself away (I trust you to hold my key) by MidnighttWriter

Summary
"He couldn’t go completely cold turkey, it was still his job as the Archivist to take, record, and analyze statements. But he could cut down on them as much as possible. And take none fresh. In order to make that work, he would have to only record those which were brought to his attention. Those were the truly important ones. In the meantime, he could do other necessary things he had been neglecting such as organization or research. Although, realistically thinking he knew he wouldn’t be much good for anything.
During nicotine withdrawals, his notoriously dedicated attention span would practically go out the window. He’d become too agitated and distracted to get any work done. But he’d done it before, he could do it again."
AKA: A statement withdrawal fic, but this time it's in his control

The Difference Between Shadows and Sunlight by MidnighttWriter

Summary
Logically Dazai Osamu knew that there would be many differences between the port Mafia and the Armed Detective Agency. He had prepared for them during the two years since he defected and joined the Agency. However, nothing could have prepared him for just how different the two were.

Summary
"Scientists call it the ‘Psychic staring effect’. A term coined by a psychologist in the 1800’s and that has been tested for decades upon decades later. It is the feeling of being watched even when the person is out of sight."
There was someone, Yosano was sure of it. There was someone watching her, only she didn't know who. Fukuzawa and Ranpo didn't see it either, a manifestation of her trauma coming to haunt her waking hours. Or was it something much more malicious?Series

Summary
Good health was not something Dazai had even been blessed with, a fact that had caused such pain. The only people who had ever seen him in that state took advantage of it, of him, one way or another. This time will be no different, he was sure of it.

Through my Fingers to the Deep by MidnighttWriter

Summary
"If there was one thing that Edgar Allan Poe knew above all else, it was failure. Worse still, it was not only pathetic that he failed at life, but failed to die." Edgar Allan Poe was well-versed with bad days. They haunted him since he was young, a darkness that hovered in the back of his mind. All it look was a little something to bring it into the foreground.

Summary
"Fukuzawa Yukichi was not a dad. In fact, he should not have been around children to begin with. He didn’t understand them. They didn't follow any sort of logic and made it impossible to follow anything they tried to say. Impossible to predict what they might or might not do. The only reason that he took in Ranpo was that the boy had nowhere else to go, and his intellect, his ‘gift’, made him perfect for what Fukuzawa wanted. To help people. Still, he proved to be a challenge of his own."

Summary
“Now, before I begin,” He said with a smile as he walked in front of Akutagawa. “Is there anything you’d like to tell me?”
“I assume if I tell you that I actually do not know you will not let me go?” Akutgawa asked sarcastically and the man laughed.
“And yet, the boss says you do! Now hold still, or don’t. I don’t really care either way!”
Akutagwa didn't have the answers no matter how many times they asked. But the torture was never for him but rather for Atsushi, trapped behind glass and unable to do anything but watch. Akutagawa or the woman he was hired to protect, a life for a life.

Summary
"Six years since the people he trusted left him for dead and five since the people he trusted left him for death."
Nakahara Chuuya knew he was going to spend the anniversary of the Flag's death, just like he always did in the solitary confinement of his own home and a few bottles of wine. Only this year it didn't exactly go according to plan. Dazai always kept tabs on him on that day to make sure nothing happened unbeknownst to Chuuya. And this year it paid off.

Summary
Atsushi hadn’t known a time when he hadn’t feared death, and as much as that fear clung to him, his fear of confinement was always worse. Anything was better than a cage, anything would be better than going back to being trapped with nowhere to go, no way of escape. He knows the Agency can’t help him here, he’s not even sure he wants them to. After all, everyone saw him differently after they saw him in the cage. Little did he know, there would be someone else who would come to his aid

Summary
Akutagawa knew there would be a punishment for his pathetic performance the night before as Dazai generously gave his time to teach him. But a hand nailed to the floor of a locked room in a building with explosives set to detonate in two hours was more than he had expected. But Dazai always told him he learned best under pressure

Summary
For as long as he had known, Edgar had known death. He knew death at an early age and it carried throughout his childhood. There was only one way to protect those around him, by having no one around him. But as he lay in a puddle of his own blood and the world slipped away there was nothing more he wanted than for someone, a certain someone, there.

Summary
"It would not be incorrect to say that Dazai hated being sick, but it would be better to say that he despised it."
Dazai knew how to suffer alone. The consequences of his own actions, actions that hurt the people around him. But maybe he didn't have to

Summary
"He didn’t have to pick up the phone let alone actually listen to what they had to say. But he never did have the strength to push him away when he needed to, much less the strength to keep him away. So on his one day off, instead of enjoying the new book he had gotten a month prior and hadn’t had the time to read with a nice glass of Château Margaux, he was out in the city answering a wellness check for the Armed Detective Agency on one of their own members."

Summary
What is it like to die? A question most wonder and will only find out when that last puff of air escapes their throat and they fall into death's icy grip. It was easy to think that most deaths would not be painful. Easy to think that it was as simple as falling asleep, only where your heart falls alongside you. It's pulsating beat silence once and for all. A thought based on comfort more than reality.
No death is perfect, no death is painless. But after Dazai's first failed mission with the Armed Detective Agency, he wasn't looking for either of those. He was just looking for what would work. -
beautiful day for pitiful existence by MidnighttWriter

Summary
What a beautiful day for pitiful existence,” A quote from a book read so long ago Dazai could no longer remember the context. A quote that seemed so applicable to the moment. The setting sun cast an array of colors over the sky like spilled paint over the canvas. Colors mixed and swirled together before they dipped over the horizon along with the sun. The colors reflected on the water below, the water that churned and crashed on the rocks below.

Summary
Red, that’s all there was. Dark crimson red spilled over her fingers. Hot, thick red seeped into her pores as it stained every inch of skin it touched. It spilled onto the ground, into the cracks in the pavement. The dust mixed with the red until it became a thick sludge.

I don't know where to draw the line 'cause that groove has gotten so deep by MidnighttWriter

Summary
Everyone has bad days, everyone can afford to have bad days. But Kaminari knew he couldn't. A bad day means losing control, Losing control could involve someone getting hurt or losing his dream of being a hero entirely. It was always easier to take the quirk suppressant rather than risk something happening. But his quirk had gotten so much stronger and he wasn't so sure how many he was supposed to take. But it was fine, it had to be fine. It wasn't fine.

Summary
If there was something Todoroki knew was that there was no one who would help. A sad truth that had been learned over the years as each person who had helped left one by one. He could take care of himself, he had to take care of himself. There was a lot more blood than he had originally thought but it was nothing he couldn't handle on his own. Or so he thought

Summary
Two days, that’s how long they said it would take. Two days of avoiding everyone and skipping classes. It wasn't great but Bakugo knew it was better than the alternative. His mood stabilizers were what kept him in check, what helped him regulate the storm of emotions that threatened to blow him away every day. He couldn't lose the one good thing he had, UA, his friends, his future. And if they knew what a mess he truly was it wouldn't end well. Being off his meds was hard enough, but even harder when he was trying to keep them a secret to begin with
