Summary
“‘When you’re ten it’s imaginary friends and make-believe in the sandlot. When you’re twenty, they call you dangerous and wild and a genius, and it’s all very sexy and fun. But then you’re thirty—bam!’ Izaya tips his own head back, index finger a trigger beneath his chin. ‘They diagnose you with a mental illness and throw pills at you.’”

Summary
“Why?” Dazai asked into the room. The question left his mouth but stayed in his head where it rattled around incessantly. Why, why, why. The endless rigmarole.
“Oh you’re still here?”
“Why?” Dazai repeated with more pathos.
“Why what?” Chuuya responded, still not looking up from his book. “I need you to be a little less cryptic.”
“Why do you want to have sex with me?”
In which: Chuuya wants Dazai, but Dazai's self-image doesn't align with the idea of being wanted. They talk about it, and in the process discover how weak Dazai is for kind words.

Or: Chuuya gets severely injured during a battle, and Dazai orders him not to fall asleep.
-
“You can’t—“ With that single note of a well-known song, Chuuya pushed him off a cliff - and Dazai was still falling when the second note vibrated between them. “You can’t do a double suicide—"
‘It’s going to be alright, ‘Samu,’ Chuuya had said. ‘You are going to be fine.’
And, now, the stupid Chibi was trying to make him laugh.“—On your own.”

Summary
Reasons why Nakahara Chuuya is the scariest, most badass motherfucker in the whole of Yokohama—and not solely because of Arahabaki or his exemplary work as a mafioso.
He’s the only one capable of making Dazai willingly volunteer to do chores. WILLINGLY, because it cannot be stressed enough.
(Alternately: you know you’ve hit the relationship jackpot when you actually enjoy doing chores with your partner.)
(Take two: 5 chores Dazai willingly did and did well + the 1 chore that Chuuya would rather die than let Dazai do)

Sleepy Cuddles Are a (Totally Okay and Allowed) Weakness by Grinch1234
Fandoms: 文豪ストレイドッグス | Bungou Stray Dogs
05 Nov 2023

Summary
“Excuse me,” Dazai plants a hand on the short redhead boy’s muscled, bare shoulder. “Any chance you’re Chuuya Nakahara?”
But, instead of an answer, the redhead wobbles and proceeds to collapse.
“Woah there.” Dazai catches the boy in his arms, one under his shoulders and the other scooping up his knees, before the boy can face-plant into the dirt.
A frown mars Dazai’s lips as he examines the boy: Same copper-colored hair, height, and shockingly dark eyebags as all the descriptions of Nakahara that the Port Mafia has obtained. But Dazai was told that Nakahara did not sleep, and, for whatever reason, the boy curling into his arms is clearly out cold.
Well, this is quite the predicament.
Or the 5+1 in which Dazai gets a crush on Chuuya, who can’t sleep unless in contact with No Longer Human, which leads to Chuuya never joining the mafia.

Summary
“Oi, Dazai. We’re here.” Chuuya reached into the car to shake Dazai’s shoulders a bit, rearranging his coat to lay over the man’s back. Dazai swayed and blinked up at him. Whatever painkillers he’d been given had stolen the sharpness from his face. Dazai looked fifteen again, wide-eyed and vulnerable.
And then he smiled. He smiled and Chuuya’s heart stuttered because it was so fucking real, so small and different from all the painted faces he wore now.
This was dangerous.

Even after four years apart, missions with Chuuya were a familiar dance of insults, bickering and seamless teamwork.
Dazai didn't think this one would be any different.
He was wrong.

Summary
“What,” Chuuya said, very eloquently and in a very controlled manner, “the fuck.”
The fucking bastard had the audacity to tut at him, shaking his head in mock disappointment. “Chuuya, I told you, stop swearing in front of our daughter. She is at a very impressionable age.”
“Our wha—,” Chuuya choked on his own words for the second time, his mind making horrible, screeching sounds of incomprehension. “Who the fuck allowed you anywhere near a child? Who is she?” He managed to ask finally.
Dazai gasped dramatically with one hand over his heart, the other notably never leaving the girl's tight grip, “How can you not recognize your own daughter? The child that I painfully pushed out of my own body?”

Summary
He remembered the bandages covering thin limbs, a mirror of his own. And he remembered when the trembling stopped. When all fight left. He remembered empty red eyes as she returned into the hands of her captor. As she took his hand. As she said, “I‘m okay, mister. I don’t need your help.”
Dazai stared into his own reflection, and for the first time in months—for the first time since he watched the light leave Oda’s eyes—he felt fury roar inside his veins. Dazai burned like he never had before.
Her voice was quiet when she spoke, trembling and weak. “Are you…” she faltered, but swallowed and soldiered on, “are you like me?”
“Yes,” Dazai answered, just as heavy footsteps echoed outside the dark little room, and shouts penetrated the silence, “I’m just like you.”
