    Summary

    Dazai once heard that despair can ravage you if you turn your head around and look down the path that led you there and realize that what you could have changed, never could be changed.

    It made him think.

    How would he have changed the past or anything for that matter, if he couldn't even change himself in the present.

    He was always going to be the Black Wraith,
    The Demon prodigy that used others for his own benefit.
    The one who didn't care if others died if it was to his advantage.
    The one that charred his heart away,
    And felt nothing.

    Dazai had always felt emptiness, eating away at his insides.
    From the time he was in the Port Mafia, all the way until now.
    Right here in the Armed Detective Agencies dorms.

    But at this moment, he felt....regret and shame.
    How could he have left them all behind?
    How could he have left his dog.
    The people who shared at least a little bit of affection towards him,
    real or not.
    _____________________________________________________________________

    Or Dazai finally succeeds with a suicide attempt and in the end starts to reflect on his decisions as he dies.

    Summary

    The chill was creeping in now that the heat of the fight had worn off. Chuuya could still feel the pulse of it—but the ache was good. Grounding. Proof he was still here. Still breathing.

    And Dazai was missing.
    Typical.

    OR


    Dazai always disappears after missions.
    It’s nothing new—just another pain in the ass Chuuya’s learned to tolerate. But tonight, something feels different. The bruises haven’t healed right. The reports don’t match the damage. And that smile—too smooth, too empty—hasn’t reached his eyes in months.

    Chuuya tells himself it’s fine. That Dazai is fine. Because if he isn’t… then Chuuya’s already missed something he can’t afford to miss.

    Because when someone lies like it’s second nature—when every “I’m fine” is just another punchline—you stop asking what’s real.

    Until it’s too late...

    Summary

    Dazai and Kyouka walk parallel roads—each shaped by loss, drawn into the Port Mafia with no will to live, only a willingness to die. He asked a doctor to end it painlessly; she asked a killer to do it quickly. Neither were beaten, but both were bound—raised in silence by hands that taught them how to survive, not how to feel.

    And still, they stepped away from the darkness.

    He lost a friend who believed in light. She met a boy who didn’t flinch at her bloodstained past. Redemption wasn’t offered—it was carved, chosen, stumbled toward. Dazai watched her, saw the reflection. Kyouka watched him, saw the echo.

    They are not the same, but they understand the same ache.
    And sometimes, that’s enough.

    Summary

    Dazai has always known that this thing between him and Chuuya, as much as they're trying to make it good, can only end in disaster.

    So he tries to get ahead of it. Mitigate the damage, stay in control.

    And if he breaks his own heart to pieces in the process, well. Nobody needs to know the truth.

    Summary

    “ Abilities are more common now than when Dazai was young. Nearly 40% of people are born with some kind of power. Because of that most people assume it’s an ability that keeps Dazai alive. They are wrong. But he can, unfortunately, not die, and he doesn't want to give up why. He lets them be right.”

    Or: Dazai Osamu was once a god by the name of Shūji Tsushima, and his downfall led him to try to lead a normal life. He still can’t die, however, and watches all he loves whither before him. He becomes a sort of cryptid to some.

    Summary

    "You think this is some kind of joke?" Chuuya spat. The barrel pressed up beneath Dazai’s chin, forcing his head back like he was something pathetic—something to be studied. Or executed. The jury was still out. “Say it. Say what this is. You owe me that much.”

    “You wouldn’t believe me." Dazai laughed—frayed at the edges, like silk torn on wire. "And you’d hate me anyway.”

    “I already do.”

    Fleeing the Port Mafia was never going to be clean—it was a manhunt, knives in the dark, blood in the water. Dazai knew the price of betrayal, and he was prepared to pay it. Almost.

    What he wasn’t prepared for was facing Chuuya again.
    Not like this.
    Not with a gun between them, a loaded silence, and too many things left unsaid.

    Caught between a past too bloody to forget and a future built on half-truths, the two are forced to confront the fallout of everything they never said—and in the wreckage, something fragile that refuses to die.

    They’re left treading the line between defection and duty, betrayal and mercy, and the dangerous weight of what it means to be chosen.

    Summary

    A short oneshot, featuring Dazais thoughts which lead him to attempt, the end is up for interpretation.

    (My interpretation of Dazai plays a huge role in this, it may be heavily influenced on Yozo from the book "No Longer Human" and the real author Dazai Osamu)

    Summary

    It’s Osamu Dazai’s last year of university, which also means his last year of rivalry and general fuckery with Fyodor Dostoevsky, the only other student able to match Dazai’s off the charts levels of pretentiousness, pettiness and academic excellence.

    He’d all together been losing at his one-sided rivalry, til he meets Nakahara Chuuya, a physics major with an unfortunate tendency towards fights and an inane ability to enrage Fyodor. After witnessing his sheer skill, Dazai’s made it his solo mission to recruit Chuuya’s help in defeating Dostoevsky. Which would’ve been easier if he didn’t insult the other upon their first meeting.

    Summary

    In the dark and gloomy corridors of the Port Mafia headquarters, Osamu Dazai finds himself ensnared in a web of plans and calculations that aren't his own. Trapped as a marionette in the game led by Port Mafia boss, Mori Ougai, strings tangle together - leading to a coincidental but fateful meeting that has the power to change the course of both their lives.

     

    …“Well then. I suppose that, one day, you will also be my enemy.”

    The words were softly spoken in the night, nimble and pale fingers threading through soft auburn strands. The rain pattered gently against the ground, but it wasn’t enough to wash away the blood staining his hands.

    “What are you talking about?”

    A chuckle escaped Dazai’s lips. It was soft, as if he was savoring Chuuya's ignorance.

    “Nothing. Nothing at all.”...

    That's what it meant to commit these acts. That's what it meant to find pleasure in this sinful action against oneself. That's what it meant to be No Longer Human. And that's what it meant to be born as Dazai Osamu.

    Summary

    Chuuya Nakahara is grappling with his sexuality, unsure of his feelings for men, especially when it comes to Osamu Dazai. After a drunken night leads to intimacy and some harm between them, Chuuya is left confused and conflicted. Dazai, nonchalant as always, brushes it off, but for Chuuya, it stirs something deeper.

    Instead of diving into a relationship, Chuuya takes time to figure out what he feels. He’s torn between attraction and fear of vulnerability. Dazai, sensing the shift, quietly draws him back, and the two begin to explore their connection. Their relationship isn’t easy—it’s full of tension, misunderstandings, and emotional growth. Chuuya learns not only about Dazai, but also about himself.
