Mori is one.

 

(standalone)

Notes:

here, have a short Dazai & Mori reflection time w/ some Odasaku angst & a Chuuya mention sprinkled in.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Dazai has a very limited amount of people that he feels comfortable talking to. 

Chuuya is one. Bickering with the fiery redhead is easy, almost relaxed. Dazai knows what to expect from Chuuya, and Chuuya knows what to expect, for the most part, from Dazai. They know each other inside and out, even now, as ex-partners.

Mori is the other. 

While not easy to talk to (the opposite, really), he’s... familiar. Dazai has known Mori the longest. 

(He’s one of the first people Dazai met, back, so, so long ago, when he was just another nameless street brat.)

He knows how the man thinks, because it’s how he, himself, thinks. 

He knows his goals, his aims, and he knows how far he’ll go to reach them. In a way, there are no truly hidden agendas with Mori. For all that he is definitely all mafia black and cunning violet and a bloody, bloody red, Mori is simple, in Dazai’s mind.

For example, if Mori wants something done, then Dazai knows the many different ways he could do it, which one he will choose, and all the whys.

(Dazai has a very limited amount of people that he feels comfortable talking to. The amount of people he actually wants to talk to is even lower.

Odasaku was one of them.)

Notes:

read the third last paragraph (‘For example, if...’) with Odasaku in mind. because i do not believe Mori didn’t know exactly what he was doing.

also, would anyone be interested in a watching-the-show type of story from me? i probably wouldn't end up publishing anything for... months, honestly, probably around the end of summer/sometime in the fall if i had to guess, because i don't want to have massive waits between updates. if i did this, i'd complete it all the way to & including the Dark Era before i post anything most likely, and then i'd probably post at least once a week, or twice a week or something. not sure atm.

i'd do my own transcribing of the episodes (i have zero clue if that's the right word but it's the one i use so). i've been really bored the last couple of days and have already done the first episode and half of the second, heh. i just want to know if people would be interested in that - i know as a reader, i would be.

i know there is one already out there, which is amazing and you should check out if you like the idea, but i thought i could perhaps give it a go.

oh, and, opinions/ideas: how would i go about having the Agency watch the show in the first place (an ability, DVDs, etc?), and who do you think should watch it (i've already got the Agency, obviously, so that's Dazai, Atsushi, Kunikida, Ranpo, Yosano, Kenji, Tanizaki, Naomi, and Fukuzawa, and i'm thinking about Chuuya & Akutagawa, and possibly Gin as well. just because. though i'm not sure how i'm going to make Dazai & Chuuya stfu, tbh)?

just generally, any thoughts/ideas/suggestions/"you'll never manage doing a project that big"s?

ah, and, sorry for the massive, unrelated A/N, but one more thing: if anyone wants to make their own BSD watching the show story, i'd be totally okay with giving out my version of the script so you don't have to do that hours & hours & hours long process, as long i get credit, blah, blah, blah. talk more on that if i ever get around to posting it, heh.

super sorry for the A/N longer than the drabble-story, geez. thanks for reading it, if you bothered!

EDIT 20/07/06: for those who care, check some of my responses in the comments if you want updates about my progress on the watching-the-show story. if the commenter mentions it, i will usually mention where i am in the process.
