My soukoku story for the BSD 2020 Big Bang with a different take on Soulmate au!

Story is now complete with a total of three chapters!

Summary: 

Each human in this world was born harboring two different souls inside them. The first soul being the dominant soul—the soul of the body, and the second soul being the soul of their other half which was what they called a Soul Mate. That was why humans were born with heterochromia eyes—as they say that eyes are the windows to their souls.

Whenever a person’s life was endangered or was under extreme stress, a strange phenomenon would occur where their personality changed into a completely different person’s.

This phenomenon was called the Switch.

“Mama! Dinner has been prepared!”

“Mama! Was your bath pleasant?”

“Mama! Did you like the camellia flowers?”

“Mama!”

“Mama!”

The calls of mama echoed throughout the air as Chuuya froze at the doorway, eyelids jumping nonstop at the young boys crowding around him.

What. The. Fuck?

Nakahara Chuuya, age fifteen, has become the owner (mama) of a gay brothel (whore house) within the Yokohama’s underground red-light district.

Before we start another exciting year of BSD-loving through the Big Bang Challenge, we have prepared an interest check form for you guys to fill! In the form, there will also be a question that will determine the type of Big Bang Challenge we are going to use this year, whether it's traditional bang or a reverse bang! The form will be open until January 31th.

The Bungou Stray Dogs Big Bang is a big bang challenge event where artists and writers will be collaborating to create more content for the fandom! BSDBB2020 accepts two types of entries that will be divided into two teams (categories): 1.) Participants who want to create pieces with the romantic pairing of Dazai and Chuuya as their main focus are welcome to join the Soukoku Team, and 2.) Participants who want to create pieces with non-romatic pairings, such as platonic relationships and character centric, as their main focus are welcome to join the General Team.

According to the result of the interest check, BSDBB2020 will be running another traditional bang! To know more about how does a traditional bang work, you can refer to our FAQ question number 1.

Our schedule is also out now! Please familiarize yourself with it first before signing up! The schedule can be found Here or in #2020-schedule in our discord server

BSDBB2020 also comes with a theme that the participants can use as an inspiration or some kind of prompt for their pieces. The theme for this year is: Switch/Role Swap (decided by the Port Mafia guild for winning 2019’s Guild War)! You can interpret the theme as you’d like, whether it’s a switch between characters’ abilities, or swapping roles between organizations—go let your imagination be wild! Using the theme for your pieces wont be mandatory! You are welcome to do your own thing!

Now, for the sign ups: here are the roles you can register as:

1. Writer: As a writer, you will be writing a fic that is a minimum of 8k words during the creation and posting period. After sign ups close, you will be asked to submit a summary of your fic that artists will choose from. If you choose to be assigned a beta, you will also submit a form about what you are looking for in a beta. You will then be paired up with an artist who will be creating art for your fic, and assigned a beta, if applicable.
