Summary
They hate each other. Intertwined in the existence of the other. Doubled into the darkness, twinning in the shadow of their opposite. Collectively and harrowingly loyal to their union. To their body, their skin, their soul.
Fracturing that with words is difficult.
At times, insulting.
Most importantly, weakening.
Between the two men, the L word is silent.
-
This all starts because Chuuya says I love you, and Dazai is emotionally incompetent.

Summary
“Four months from now will be the seven year anniversary of when you and Osamu Dazai released your hugely successful first and only album Double Black and its diamond single Corruption. After performing with Dazai earlier this year, are you planning anything special to celebrate?”
“Corruption is insanely overrated, and I would prefer to never hear Dazai’s voice for the rest of my fucking life.”

Bookmarker's Notes
If I had to give a warning label to this fanfic, it’s that you’ll never see the world the same. Like, okay, I’ve read a lot of fanfics in my life. I’ve loved stories with so many characters, and I’ve found many wonderful pieces that play with this pairing and I have loved them. But let’s get one thing straight, IWSYNTTR isn’t just a good fanfic. In my life, this story made me want to try writing songs, it made me love music in a way I’d never loved before, it made me aspire to write in a way that enriches a character just by the stylization of a word rather than a decision in the plot. This is a story that made me want to create, and to keep creating. I first read this fanfic in 2021, in the worst year of my life, and it made me dream. My notes mean to hype these up, they’re supposed to let you know how I felt in regards to the story. But this isn’t something I can even try to describe why it brings these things out of me. This is a piece that redefined how I see fanfiction, music, writing, life. We all have those singular, silly pieces of media that awaken something in us. This was the one for me.

Summary
After Hirotsu gives them their offerings, they exchange rings, and Dazai never, not once, breaks eye contact even as they're instructed to kiss. Chuuya expects a wet tongue in his mouth as some sort of demonstration of dominance, so he's surprised when Dazai's hand lifts to cover them both, and the only thing that's pressed to his lips — the corner of them, to be precise — is a dry, fleeting kiss.
And then it's done.
Chuuya is officially, irrevocably married to the one and only head of the mafia.
Or, an AU in which king of the sheep Chuuya has to marry port mafia boss Dazai to get one of his people out of jail.

Bookmarker's Notes
Yes. This is a super fucking long piece of literature. I read it in three days, and it’s my best time ever, but even I have to admit that was actually pretty insane. Anyway, this fanfic is such a fucking journey, things just keep happening and the stakes keep changing, and you literally can’t get bored. Except that three chapter interval that is pure smut, I think that was a bit much, but since this fanfic is 450k words and the story traverses 50 motherfucking chapters, we’re going to forgive that lapse of extreme sexual content in one go and appreciate the masterpiece as a whole. I love this story so much, I want to re-read it so bad, but I’m still healing with what this story did to me that third week of December.
Literally one of my favorite fics of all time.
IT HAS A HAPPY ENDING!!!

Summary
Finally, Chuuya eloquently said, “I don’t want to date you.”
Dazai huffed. “Yeah, well, I’m not too thrilled at the idea of having a crazy rockstar boyfriend. But you got us into this mess, you need to help us get out of it.”
Had Dazai gone insane? Nakahara Chuuya and Dazai Osamu, dating? Had Chuuya not made it clear through the dozens of direct and indirect meetings that he despised Dazai with every fiber in his body.Featuring: drunk tweets, falling in love, horrendous song writing, cheesy interviews, learning how to "fake it," and Chuuya getting over the headache that is Dazai. Not necessarily in that order.

Soukoku Music AUs are their own genre, and they are what lift me in life. There’s something so fitting of that setting for them, with the way the ship thrives off passion and energy, that the wildness within the nature of the characters translates perfectly. This fanfic is just an openly lovely version of a celebrity story, and I really appreciate the tone it uses. It’s a fun fic, and I truly recommend it.

Summary
Dazai’s vision was assaulted with fiery hair, ocean eyes, fair skin… The man wore scrubs with little paw prints on them and Dazai felt his mouth dry up.
Why he had that reaction, he would ponder on later during one of his sleepless nights because Dazai had never been one for experiencing emotions, and at the moment that weird organ in his chest was fluttering-
Perhaps this man was so hideous that Dazai had gone into cardiac arrest.
Or
Dazai was introduced to two very important figures in his life that night, One being the dog he nearly ran over, and the other being the fiery redheaded veterinarian who coddled said dog

Bookmarker's Notes
(my own) Synopsis:
Dazai doesn’t expect to almost hit a dog on his way home while on the phone with his subordinate. He didn’t expect to grab the dog and take it to a veterinarian. He didn’t expect the veterinarian to drag him in like gravity itself and somehow get him to actually want to keep the dog. But here he is. And he keeps going back to the vet, again and again. For Daisy, of course. Also yeah, he knows it’s not an intimidating name but she liked it-
Notes:
This fic is so unserious, it’s hilarious. It has an actual plot somewhere in there, which I think you’ll love. Also, watching Dazai just be actual shit at dating is HILARIOUS and I’m sure you’ll laugh too. I've read this one thrice now.

Summary
Going out and getting drunk with friends is all great and fun - until you wake up in a foreign bed with no memory of how you got there.
And if a question pesters your mind, you want answers. What better method is there, than to try and see if the memories come back?Which is exactly what happens to Chuuya, who wakes up next to the most insufferable guy alive; Dazai. But what makes it worse is that neither can recall what happened last night, evidence speaking for and against the fact that they've had sex.

Bookmarker's Notes
(my own) Synopsis:
Chuuya wakes up naked in Dazai’s bed, and he really doesn’t remember how he got there. Dazai’s not much better. But the moment they get out of that awkward morning, they face their friends spamming pictures of their wild make out session the night before, and even as embarrassment builds, they start talking to each other. And suddenly, things feel better. Different. Also, curiosity’s a bitch. Because really, what does kissing the other feel like?
Notes:
The end is so funny because we get the reveal and I think it’s hilarious. But anyway, the fic is just another good time. College AUs are often like that, but this really does feel like a fun ride of fanfic college students. I also like that a big topic in the story is the friendship they have with the others. It’s a mature conversation that I don’t think is discussed in other fics. Sure, the conversations aren’t groundbreaking, but talking about boundaries is so important, and I think we should be more open about how that process can look like. Anyway, lovely fic.
