heyooo

If you paid attention in chemistry class, you would know that alcohol can also be a solution by flyed (30k, complete). guys WHY IS THIS SO UNDERRATED!!!! really excellent characterization of skk and super good balance of comedy and drama and angst, plus a rlly good relationship study! i also really like how subtle the writing is... there's a lot of motifs or tidbits that i only picked up on a second read, which is quite cool

Nostalgia by suninwinter37 (seires of oneshots, 65k total, marked incomplete but everything stands on its own). really fun series, i think it does a good job characterizing skk and esp their relationship/perspective of each other. it also does a good job of exploring the subtleties of dazai's pov, i think, which is quite impressive given we have none of it in canon

#1 hater by imnotstubborn (3.5k, complete). superb characterization. mutually emotionally constipated fools, and teen skk (my JAM!)! short and fun :)

one-night runaways by astroyooning (6.7k, complete). another one with good characterization! also ft. dz caring for chuuya which is such a plus, always 👍 sweet little one shot

literally any skk fic by UnicornPopcorn14 (there's so much). i personally just love how skk is characterized in her works, and it's clear she does her research on the things she writes about. all of her stuff has a good mix of angst, fluff, h/c, what more can you ask for? and good writing to boot!

till death, i'll give you breath by booksandpapers (28.5k, incomplete). gahhhh i just adore how this author writes. it's so spectacular! again, fantastic characterization, and really interesting perspectives offered for skk (and others). this is one of my favs by them, because the concept is sooo excellent and the tension is executed brilliantly. but all of their works are worth checking out ;)

somehow i'm moving on and it pains me by warsfeil (64.8k, complete). ohhhhhh my god i dunno what to say about this one actually it's just that good. canonzai and beastzai swap places and everyone has to deal with it (including the zais). incredible characterization of literally EVERYONE which is CRAZY TO MEEEE... really nice character(s) study and relationship(s) study that just hits so hard. warsfeil's writing style is also just like, pure crack to me... i love it so bad

Three-fold Fate by devilrin (60k, complete). I always rec this one, i feel like it's obligatory. probably my fav fic of all time, no joke. such incredible writing and character work and omggggg gahhh it's incredible. all their other works are impeccable as well! pleaseeee check them out if you haven't already
