    Summary

    Jason Todd grew up with a fundamental fear of being seen. Not in the sense of shyness, but in the sense of shame. He supposed, if he wished to contemplate the fear’s origins, he might start where most tragedies do:
    The house he grew up in.
    Where the act of wanting was as good as a death sentence to that desire.
    He supposed he might even make an argument for the statement “people become what they are called”. He thinks that might have some merit, looking back.
    What he fears most, (like most other people), is how obvious it is to others. The fear itself.
    He wonders if they can see it.

    or

    Thanks to a rogue meta, the batfam gets to watch Jason's memories like a movie; and Jason just really wants a family again. But you cannot be loved if you aren't known, and well... if circumstances provide? might as well take the chance, right?

    Summary

    Dazai-centric, mostly canon one-shots all existing in the same universe. i.e. all the events in these fics are presumably in the same world and may be referenced in latter one-shots. My goal is to have 10 in total but who knows, maybe I'll make it to 20!

    ( ^◡^)っ ♡

    I've been recently reading the works of real-life Dazai so I like to sprinkle in some references and easter eggs along the way. I've also consumed a lot of BSD works (English fan translations) in a short period of time, so these one-shots reference:

    "Osamu Dazai and the Dark Era"
    "How I Picked Up Dazai" or "The Day I Picked Up Dazai" (Parts A and B - this is also my favorite light novel)
    "Beast" manga
    "55 Minutes" (my other favorite!)
    "Stormbringer"
    "Dazai, Chuuya, Age 15"
    "The Untold Origins of the Detective Agency"

    I'm up to date with the manga *cue all the soukoku heartache (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ * but I don't think I'll be incorporating recent chapters into these fics (though many a theory I have >>_>>)

    Summary

    “There is a con in our midst!” Octavian shouted, shaking a disemboweled teddy bear in Percy’s face. “Jackson is a liar, and a scam! He is not to be trusted!”

    Though Percy and Praetor Reyna got in constant fights, this was one area where she would stand up for him. “Octavian, give him a break. He’s just a kid, he’s never done anything to you.”

    “He’s never done anything to me?” Octavian questioned. “Or he's never done anything for me? I have sacrificed many bears over my altar, and all of them say the same thing. They speak of horror, danger; they speak of an unfulfilled prophecy. Tell me, Perseus—if that even is your real name—what quest did you go on and never leave, what duty have you failed?”

     

    A Percy at Camp Jupiter AU. Post The Last Olympian, with a twist.
