Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you, there’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do
Part 4
Hattie scowled down at her phone when it rang loudly, interrupting the silence she had cultivated inside her apartment. It had been a difficult last few days, consisting of her having to eliminate several targets
She had finally arrived home, ate a simple meal and fell into bed intending to sleep for at least ten hours. But then her damn phone rang
Not recognizing the number, she had been tempted to not answer, but she knew he bosses would use burner phones
Answering, she growled
"Shaw."
"H-Hatts?"
Hattie blinked in surprise as a child's voice called out her name. Sitting up, she frowned and a cold shiver went down her spine
"Who is this?" She tried to soften her voice, but knew she still had a harsh note
"Hatts, it's me. Owen."
Hattie went numb
What?!
There was absolutely no way Owen had called her using a wobbly child's voice, on the brink of tears. There was no way he was that crazy
Right?
Took caught up trying to think how ridiculous her brother could be, Hattie didn't respond soon enough and prompting the child to go off on a tangent
"I don't know what's happening, Hatts. I woke up all wet and cold, and these people took me to a scary place. But this nice lady, Letty, gave me her jacket and then took me out for dinner. But then I saw all these weird looking things. I think they're phones? So I stole one and tried calling Deck, but he didn't answer, do you think he doesn't like me anymore? And I tried to call you-"
Finally, the little boy took a deep breath. But before he could keep going, Hattie spoke up
"Owen, where are you right now?"
"At home."
Hattie sighed. At least that made things easier
"Owen, listen to me. I want you to stay there and I'll come and get you. Do not open the door for anyone."
"Okay."
She didn't want to hang up, just in case he did something stupid. No matter what age he was, she knew he was capable of anything
It only took her twenty minutes to arrive at their old home. None of them had lived in it for years, but she knew their mother kept it cleaned for her own personal use and business
When she arrived, she used her own key to open the door and called out
"Owen? It's Hattie!"
She listened closely until soft footsteps came to meet her
Hattie felt as if she was slapped when she spotted him
The little boy barely even came up to her hip he was so small. His hair was shaggy and long, while his clothes looked far too stylish for his age. He looked up at her with wide, curious eyes
"Why are you so big?" He whispered in awe
"Because I'm an adult." Hattie said dumbly
"But I'm older than you!" Owen pouted and crossed his arms
Hattie blinked at him and felt a smile tug at her lips
"And you'll grow up to be taller than me. But right now, you're a small fry."
He narrowed his eyes at her, his pout still strong. Hattie met his gaze evenly, but inside, she was freaking out
What the hell was she going to do with a miniature version of her older brother?!
mary h.how many bsd novels are there i thought it was just the agency aku one and the dazai one but theres more apparently?? how many different bsd spin offs are there i am so confused
OHHHH BOYS. BESTIE YOU ARE NOT READY. THERE ARE SO MANY. and i know this because i own every single novel that has an english release (i'm linking all the ones that do):
Osamu Dazai's Entrance Exam - this is the one with the Azure Messenger, infamously adapted into the present day in the middle of season 1 when it's actually set 2 years in the past as Dazai's entrance exam into the ADA.
The Untold Origins of the Detective Agency - what the title says, currently being adapted in the beginning of season 4. The novel also includes a short story set the day before Atsushi's entrance exam about the ADA planning what his exam should be.
Osamu Dazai and the Dark Era - this is one of the Dazai ones, about his time in the mafia with Ango and Oda, adapted in the beginning of season 2.
Dazai, Chuuya, Age Fifteen - another Dazai one, the one (poorly) adapted at the beginning of season 3, about how Chuuya joined the mafia. Has a currently ongoing manga adaptation.
Storm Bringer - sequel to Fifteen, longest of all the novels by far, set when Dazai and Chuuya are 16 and we find out more about Chuuya's origin story. And so much more, it really is a thicc novel.
55 Minutes - the second longest novel after Storm Bringer yet the least talked about (despite how much it elaborates on skill singularities and the nature of abilities). It's a self-contained story of the ADA going to solve a case on an artificial island off the coast of Yokohama, featuring two new ability users H. G. Wells and Jules Verne (hence a relatively sci-fi heavy novel and i wrote a 2k+ word essay analysing all the science behind it lmao)
Dead Apple - novelisation of the movie with some extra scenes and more elaboration on some details in the movie. Also has an ongoing manga adaptation with official english release.
BEAST - this is the Akutagawa in the ADA and Atsushi in the PM one, with a completed manga adaptation (also released in english) as well as a live-action movie that came out last year.
Gaiden (Another Story): Ayatsuji Yukito vs. Kyogoku Natsuhiko - the novel has no english release yet, but it's a spin-off about different ability users and i think Ango is the only recurring character from the main series there. There is an ongoing manga adaptation which does have an official english release.
The Day I Picked Up Dazai - i don't think this one is formally released yet as it was a bonus novel given out at the screening of the BEAST movie. It's divided into Side A and Side B and i haven't read this one yet but i believe it's about how Dazai and Oda first met, where each side follows the other's perspective. There's a completed fan-translation of both sides by @popopretty.
Kunikida and Katai's Magnificent Days - this is a really sweet short story about Kunikida and Katai's friendship and i have no idea where the official version is from but there is a fan-translation of it you can read here.
In addition to BEAST and Gaiden there is also Wan! which is the super cute casual chibi spin-off manga with no stakes and no angst and only vibes, it is still ongoing and has an official english release. Some of the chapters were adapted into the Wan! anime series with 12 episodes (they are shorter episodes of 10 min each) and it is literally free therapy and will give you a year's worth of serotonin!!
There is also the bsd anthology series, which are side stories written and illustrated by different mangakas, there is no official english release that i know of but you can find fan-translations of some of the side stories here and there online.
We also have bsd mayoi or Tales of the Lost, the mobile gacha game which also includes a high school AU storyline (bsd gakuen)!
Other than these, there are also several stage plays, although it's harder to find content on these in english since they are only performed in Japan.
Bsd fans are truly the most well-fed fans of all time sometimes i forget how much content we have and still we keep getting more, it's unreal
The residence that Earl Butler built in Des Moines, lowa, between 1935 and 1937. Working in close collaboration with his architects, Kraetsch and Kraetsch, Butler constructed a fire, tornado, earthquake, and termite - proof residence , permitting no conventional decoration since he believed that “simplicity and good design are much more restful and inherently beautiful in a home.” Among the special features were an unusual central ramp, air conditioning, dishwasher and disposal, an electric eye to open and close garage doors, a small storage room for freezing game, an extra ice - cube freezer with a 675 - cube capacity, and an intercommunicating telephone system .
"You're not the only one with a family full of eccentrics," says the woman whose kids drove a tank down a highway, trashed Los Angeles, and tried to strangle Luke Hobbs with their thighs.
God, I'm gonna love Helen Mirren's cameo.
a/n: it has been long-awaited, i know! i’ve been posting the characters and their backstories, but this has been anticipated! i’ve always been a big fan of action movies, and the “fast and furious” series is a favorite (close second to mission impossible, not gonna lie). anyway, i really hope you guys enjoy this teaser, i made it extra long so it would hopefully hype up some anticipation for the first chapter!! please reblog and spread it so more people can read the series! enjoy lovelies! (:

The spy chasing me throws a tracking device at my car. The throw is perfectly timed and the small, round device hits the bumper perfectly flush. However, since the tracker is magnetic and my shitty car is plastic, it bounces off
