Letters of a Coward - Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's To Do List by APurpleZ
Fandoms: 文豪ストレイドッグス | Bungou Stray Dogs
05 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
Akutagawa Ryuunosuke was a coward.
“I apologize but at most, you have a month left.”
Ryuunosuke tuned the doctor’s words out, looking at his hands that were numbly placed on his lap on the sofa he was on. After feeling much worse than usual, he had decided to call over one of the Port Mafia’s private doctors, bracing for the news that he had been expecting all along.
It wasn’t a surprise.
His impending death wasn’t new information.
---
Ryuunosuke always knew that he was going to die. So, after mulling it over, he recounted the words of a friend of his ex-mentor and decided to transcript his thoughts in the medium of letters, as well as making a To-do list for activities with people he deemed worthy one last time.

Summary
“Marcus. I’m Marcus.” Came the hurried reply. “I’m a tribute. We need help or we’re going to die.”
This piqued Hyuna’s curiosity, and after some contemplation . . .
“What’s going to kill you?” She replied.
A pause of silence before—
“The reaping? The games?”
Or
Alien Stage exists in the same universe as The Hunger Games. Marcus, in a last ditch effort to escape, contacts Hyuna's Rebellion.
This changes nothing. This changes everything.

Choose your own Adventure: Ryuunosuke's secret... by APurpleZ

Summary
After a string of disappearances around the city, Ryuunosuke no longer trusted you out alone.
“No.” Came the same response for the millionth time. His tone was as curt as ever, being as rigid as his posture while standing in front of the door. Blocking you from leaving.
> Attempt to shove past him. He has been sick for a while now. He is frail.
> Nod and agree.
> Talk back. What’s the worst that could happen?-. --- - / .... ..- -- .- -.

Summary
Luka didn't understand.
He didn’t understand why Hyuna refused to talk to him after Hyun-woo died.
He didn’t understand why she left him during their Alien Stage. Why she was even losing in the first place. She was better than everyone. They were supposed to sing together and–
And–
One of them was going to die.
He wasn’t going to live without her, though. That’d do no good. His precious Hyuna. Even if she hadn’t looked in his direction for years. Even if she hated his guts.
They would die together. He’d make sure of it.
And that time had come. Albeit a tad late.
-.- .- .-. -- .-
i'm so sorry.
the two chapters have different endings, but both are still angst LMAOO -

Summary
Cold.
It was cold. There was a bright light shining everywhere.
Yet, the sensation was ever so slightly strange. Contorted. As if the boy wasn’t a human…
And then, he existed as a human.
In front of him stood a man completely decked out in black, with the sole exception of the white bandages wrapped practically all over any exposed skin and even one of his eyes.
“I am Shuuji Tsushima, a deity and your master. You are Akutagawa, my Regalia, my weapon. I permit our bond to be stronger than blood and deeper than kin.”
.-. . -. . .-- .- .-..
A boy and his Master, a weapon and its wielder. Akutagawa navigates his new life as a Regalia of Shuji Tsushima, suffering along the way with the gripping fear of being abandoned.

Summary
Bak-Ha knew that the world hated him.
Really, what other option was there? As he lay there, choking on his own blood, no other possibility crossed his mind.
He was a problematic child.
A troublemaker.
Someone better off dead.
He didn’t enjoy hurting people persay, he knew it was wrong…
But at the same time, seeing them go through the pain he did, even if it was just a fraction of the agony he suffered… It felt good.

Summary
Hyuna had never seen Luka cry.
It wasn’t as if Luka was completely devoid of emotion– No, in actuality, he seemed full of life when he was with her and Hyun-woo, laughing along, albeit softly, to their antics.
Hyuna waited patiently, turning her head to lean the side of her cheek on Luka’s shoulder so she could see him once he turned his face to her.
….
Wait…
He finally turned his head.
A single tear escaped his eyes, rolling down his pristine skin with such speed that it seemed like it was escaping something hellish.
Maybe it was.
.... ..- .-. -
Hyuna never realised that she hadn't seen Luka cry until now. MODERN AU HYULUKA < /3

Summary
It didn’t matter if the world burnt down in the background.
As long as he was with the one who ruled his heart, now and forevermore, Luka was content to ignore anyone else in peril. His life was built around his love, his reason to live was the beautiful woman he could now call his wife, and no doubt, he would die in her arms, before or after her demise.
He would never be able to picture a life without her.
Hyuna. His savior.
Please cradle my heart. He thought.
Or break it. As long as it's you.

Summary
Xia Fei had always thought he’d have a simple but fulfilling life.
His goals were as follows;
Graduating with good grades, getting a well-paying job, then financially supporting his parents in order to repay them for their assistance while growing up. Supporting them was his duty, he knew that, yet…
“I told you today was important, right?”
Ah, there it was, his employer’s deceptively calm voice, audible due to his open room door. Underneath, it was clearly laced with annoyance and a menacing sort of warning. As if he was a father scolding his misbehaving child.
---
A reflection on the change in Xia Fei's life.

Summary
“Again.”
“You said that this was the last time–”
“Again, Ryuunosuke, or do you want to give up on your dreams?”
Osamu Dazai was a cruel man, really, pushing his young ballet student to his absolute limit, just to squeeze out every drop of potential he had, and then not even complimenting him once enormous feats were passed. Perhaps one would find his actions even worse once they found out that the mentor and mentee were brothers, though both refused to acknowledge it as such.
---
“I’m gonna be teaching another kid from now on as well. I need to introduce you both.”
What?
Had Dazai run low on money?
---
Dazai and Ryuunosuke had a complicated relationship as brothers, especially with the situation requiring the older to act as a mentor to the other in ballet. Things turned even more sour when Dazai took on another student, Atsushi, treating him with much more care and tact than anything he had shown before. As a competition with prize money which can only have one winner looms, Ryuunosuke finds out that his younger sibling requires costly medical treatment.

Summary
“Maybe we’re dead and this is the afterlife?” Gin quipped up.
“Yeah I doubt it, you think we’d make it to Heaven?” Her brother, Ryuunosuke, responded with a blank look, sighing as he brushed his hair out of his face.
“How d’you know this is Heaven?”
----
The Akutagawa siblings have woken up in a strange place and unbeknownst to them it is a completely new world! How will they get out? Who brought them here?
And most importantly;
Why is this so-called traveller a different gender everytime they meet?

Summary
In a blink, he was gone.
Mizi’s mind was blank. Her world stopped. All the noises around her dulled.
And yet, her head was so full of things that it made it difficult to do anything but stare at the lifeless body she was cradling in her lap.
This couldn’t be real.
She blinked away her tears,
“Tch, this is taking so long...”
…
Mizi blinked.
She was in the Alien Stage control room, with a guard beaten up and tied beside her and Hyuna.
How was she back in time?
----
Mizi somehow goes back in time before Round 7 after watching Till die. AKA me coping and accidentally making the hurt worse

Abnormality Dancin' Boy by APurpleZ for The_Lady_In_Black

Summary
How ironic!
Really, Dazai never thought that he would covet the position of Boss.
He still didn’t want that position. It was useless.
After all, his purpose was to die as fast and as painless as possible.
Funny.
He looked down, blood still coating his hands, his shoes, the walls, the dead body of the Port Mafia Boss.
Oops, former boss!
---
Instead of accepting Odasaku's words and leaving the Mafia, Osamu Dazai returns for revenge.

Summary
Then, where is the real him?
Oh.
There is no real him.
Oh well.
--
As far as the boy remembered, this emotionless state was not his natural one, and he had internally known that it was all an act. Ryuunosuke Akutagawa was a liar through and through, but where did this facade end and the real him start?It wasn’t his fault that the morons went to look for anything they could ‘blackmail’ literal adults with.
(Gin hated her brother, hated him with every core of her being)
He didn’t tell them to go, in fact he even told them not to do anything reckless.
(Gin tried to hold them back, held onto their shirts so they wouldn’t go, ran after them)
He could only grab Gin and run as they were surrounded.
(Gin broke her vow of silence and screamed, trying to grab a hold of at least someone. She watched as her brother whisked only her away through the opening that the others could follow from if he only told it to them)

tldr: au where akutagawa's personality/intelligence is much more akin to dazai and he sort of has an identity crisis -

Summary
- Yokohama, Port Mafia Headquarters, 22nd July 20XX 2:04 AM
The air was thick, quite literally.
“Don't do this, my boy–”
The ginger executive's words were strained, sweat dripping down his creased forehead, most likely due to his emotions and excessive use of ability both.
“No. Do not call me that. This world does not matter. It is not the original.” Ryuunosuke interrupted, his eyes devoid of emotion which he used to survey the carnage around them, eerily similar to a particular ex-mentor.

- Yokohama Alleyways, 15th July 20XX 3:06 PM
He was a cat. He was a dog. He was a squirrel. He was in the sky. He was a vampire. He was a ghost. He held a knife. He pressed a gun under his chin. He carefully kicked the chair from underneath him. He waited for the guillotine to decapitate him. He cried at the foot of his sister's coffin. He ripped his former mentor’s heart out. He lay on the cold hard floor of the slums, barely able to breathe.
He was alive for a millenia. He couldn’t die. He wanted to die.
He wanted to die.
----
After a mission, Ryuunosuke is thrust with memories of every single version of him. He cannot cope. This universe means nothing.

Children, they die. by APurpleZ for The_Lady_In_Black
Fandoms: 文豪ストレイドッグス | Bungou Stray Dogs

Summary
Ryuunosuke would never admit that he was bothered by the slow crumbling of the relationship he had with his older brother.
It wasn’t like he didn’t understand why those cold looks were sent his way. It made sense, their world was a hell. Those blank, emotionless eyes that, though were equally as dark when they were younger, grew to look at him with disdain.
But it hurt.
It hurt that the only solace he had, the only protection he got from their hellish parents was gone.
---
He could hear Ace at the doorway, Ryuunosuke wasn’t even halfway through his brother's classroom yet.
He was going to die. He was going to die. He was going to-
“‘SAMU-NII--!”
---
Osamu ran away from his house at the age of fourteen to live with some co-workers, leaving his siblings, twelve year old Ryuunosuke and nine year old Gin, with their abusive parents. Two years pass with minimal interaction and Ryuunosuke is sure that his brother hates him, yet he can't help but want his attention even after denying internally that they were related at all.One day, he feels that he may just die from all the torment he endured at school by his bullies, and wants to see his brother one last time.

Summary
“Gin, go.”
“B..But Ryuu..”
“Gin go. It's not too late–”
“Oh but it is, ‘Ryuu.’”
Ryuunosuke, gripped onto his sister's hand as tightly as possible instead of trying to push her away once the person in front of him spoke. His eyes flared with hatred, boring into the demonic boy who had managed to restrain him and somehow subdue his ability.
---
The Kingdom of Yokohama has a harsh black market, the underground enveloped by one particular organization, the Mafia. The Akutagawa siblings have been living on the streets as long as they can remember, jumping from orphanages to living on the streets with a group of children. A steady routine has been established in the recent years, yet it all crashes down when they are caught trying to free victims of human trafficking and to get off, they blame the mafia.
The Demon Prodigy is sent by the Boss, Duke Mori, to wrangle the ability user of the group up, leaving the rest to simply be killed.

"I trust you'll manage to understand what it takes to create a life one day, Albedo."
"Yes Master."
=--
The stars were an immaculate sight.
Almost like delicate strokes of paint, their twinkle was beautiful, their haphazard yet alluring arrangement almost too good to be true. Of course, their canvas was the night sky, oh so dark yet full of wonders nonetheless.
You found them overwhelming.
By Albedo's side, everything was much easier to take in.
+===
You were a Synthetic being designed by the genius Alchemist Gold, yet somehow, you were defective. Tasked with making sure you were fixed to be almost perfect in design like Albedo, he takes care of you at his lab in Dragonspine, only recently gotten enough materials to bring you out of your comatose state. Yet, he is not the best at human emotions, so the both grow together as he learns whether the end-goal of your 'perfection' is truly worth it.
-----
tldr; albedo is like your guardian basically, he struggles with coming to terms with the last request his master left of him, as well as trying to emulate her warmth and improve from her mistakes -

Summary
He didn’t know what had compelled him to try when he clearly hadn’t been doing so all this time. Of course, as per his fears, he failed.
-... . --. .. -. -. .. -. --.
Akutagawa Ryuunosuke had learnt over the years to cease his wants, suppress his desires and simply do what he was told to. His parents did not care for him, perhaps the only sense of affection he even felt was from his younger sister, but it did not matter. He was pushed into the acting industry despite his wishes, apparently his face was ‘perfect’ and would make him rise as a star.
His idol, Dazai Osamu, the Demon Prodigy, invoked his passion, brought back his will to do things, yet of course, fate was never on his side.
