Sorry If You’ve Already Answered This Question Before But Do You Have A Reference To What Dazai And

Heyhey!!

Would you, theoretically, be okay with someone pointing out some small grammar mistakes in your fic? I've noticed a few super minor ones, like an extra word here and there. Would it bother you if someone, say, mentioned it in a comment and then deleted the comment afterward? Totally understandable if it's not!! Sorry if my wording is weird but i hope u got the point!! :)

All the best to you and can't wait for the next update!🤍

Hi! I wouldn’t mind it :D!

I don’t have a beta and whenever I finish a chapter I get so eager to publish it that I definitely overlook mistakes…

Needless to say, I’m not the best at proofreading lol. I edit a few things here and there whenever I need to reference past scenes/dialogue but other than that I rarely read my published chapters since it’s all in my notes.

(All the best to you too <3 and sorry I took so long to get back to you ;-;)

Shamelessly stealing from OPLA (but of course, One Piece is one of THE pirate stories out there) but a song for your playlist: My Sails are Set by Aurora. Probably Chuuya pov!

Yeess! I love her songs and was actually looking into them for the playlist yet somehow I overlooked this amazing one?? Thank you!

Hi honey !!! I was wondering if you have any bsd fic recs that you really like !!! Im free for a month and whats better way of spending my time than reading two homosexual gays (affectionate)

Also ,Thanks for the chapter !! It was great and and all the skk interaction made me giggle like a maniac .

Hope you have a good day and take care of yourselve .

Hi! So, I might not be the best person to ask this to, only because...well...I don't read a lot of skk fics...

I KNOW, I know. I'm obsessed with those two but most of the content I consume of them comes from fan arts now. That being said, I have read a handful of fics but they're one of the most popular ones out there like:

where your loyalties lie by writingfromtheshadows

- I probably read this sometime in 2019. It's one of the first fics I remember reading for the pair and it definitely sucked me further into the skk rabbit hole. I remember being absolutely obsessed with it and I didn't want it to end, which is why I never read the last chapter of the series because if I don't see a "the end," the story can never come to an end lol

- According to my ao3 history, I read this in 2021. There's some scenes that randomly resurface in my mind even now!

Not Safe for Work by Insomnia_Productions

- I read this in 2019 and I found the Chuuya/Agency interactions and his banter with Dazai really entertaining. When I tell you guys my mind was blown when I went back to skim it and found the author's name extremely familiar and realized that they've read/commented on my fic!!

Basically, if they were on the top of the ao3 rankings pre-2023, I've probably read them. There's a reason why they're so popular though, they're really good and worth the re-read!

important lessons by setosdarkness

- I read this in 2022 when I was in dire need for a jealous Dazai fic. It's a short read and I love the skk banter in this one. Even when I went back to skim it, I found their bickering thoroughly enjoyable.

If there's something I learned from this ask is that I really need to expand my skk reading list and discover more authors/works...

Also, the fact that I read these in 2019-2022 is just...wow...

Anyway, enjoy your break!!

How are you doing? <3

Amazing now that I'm about to get a LOT more free time!! I was drowning in work these past few weeks, I'm so relieved that's over now

I'll be more active on here!! And ao3 of course :D

Do you, by any chance, have a pinterest board for the story? ♡´･ᴗ･`♡

Hi! I started working on one when I saw this in my inbox :D

There were only a few things I was able to pin, but I will continue to add more as the story progresses!

It’s 3 am and I’m delirious

I edited three (3) short paragraphs about ten times…

*emerges from the other room covered in blood* you should see the word document

fake ass idgafer. I saw you gazing off into the distance like you were looking at something far away, something no one else could see but you

is there a chunk of writing you’re extremely proud of?? like a paragraph, sentence, etc. that you wrote and you went damn bitch i did that

i love your writing and i’m curious to see what parts stand out to you as the author

Oh great question! I recently had this feeling when I went back to read the story up until this point (it had been a while since I had due to the hiatus) and I had a lot of "wow, how did I do that??" moments lol. I guess I can say chapter 7 gave me that feeling the most with Chuuya's internal dilemma, the action, and the reveal! I remember I spent a long time planning it out and circling through a bunch of drafts to get it right.

Oh! And I'm also proud of the fight skk had in chapter 10 and the buildup behind it because I remember sitting in front of my keyboard after that and going: okay now, how am I going to make them make up?? And then BAM, I figured it out!!

Then there's this scene too:

I think about ur fic so much I literally dreamt about it

Ahh that's so cool!! I'm flattered! And lowkey jealous too lol I wish these two would haunt my dreams

like wine.
