@fluff-cember : [Prompt 13] Fire and Ice
Fandom: Bungou Stray Dogs
Ship: Fyodor x Dazai
FINALLY I FINISHED THIS DAMN FIC, DEAR LORD. I am not philosophical in the slightest so this was an absolute pain to write, but I somehow did it. I had made a post about this earlier, where Fyodor would talk about Robert Frost's poem Fire and Ice with someone else, and I later chose that someone to be Dazai. Lemme know if they're in character. :') [btw they're in the prison here]
The day was as boring and dull as the previous, and probably the next. The only noise that could be heard in the space was the flipping of pages, and Dazai couldn't help but stare at Fyodor as the latter read some book.
He sat up in bed, eyeing the Russian’s figure curiously.
“What?” Came Fyodor’s amused voice, breaking him out of his trance.
“What’cha reading?” Dazai effortlessly shifted to his teasing tone of voice, leaning towards Fyodor’s cell.
Fyodor finally looked up from his book, giving Dazai an unimpressed look. “Poems.”
Dazai blinked, making a show of being repulsed. “Poems? Seriously?”
“Have you read poems by Robert Frost?” Fyodor asked, ignoring Dazai’s weird looks.
Dazai just hummed softly, glancing up at the ceiling in thought. “I've heard of the guy.”
Fyodor crossed his legs, corners of his lips turning up. “Fire and Ice.”
“That’s name of the poem?” Dazai whined. “Sounds so boring.”
Fyodor let out an irritated huff, bringing the book closer to his face to read out loud:
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
“So philosophical,” Dazai remarked, amused at the seriousness in Fyodor’s voice.
“I'd say this poem stands to be quite relevant in our time.” Fyodor gazed up at Dazai, tilting his head.
Dazai maintained their eye contact, leaning back on the bed. “...Whether the world is to end by fire or ice, hmm?”
“Fire, or ice—desire, or hatred?”
“Do you have an opinion on this?”
Fyodor set the book on the table, crossing his arms. “Regardless of the path, it is quite obvious mankind will lead to the destruction of the world.”
Dazai followed his movements. “I guess you'd advocate hatred and selfishness to win instead of violence, right?”
He slightly smiled. “Both.”
Dazai blinked, then laughed out loud, dramatically wiping tears from his eyes. “I don't know why I expected any less from you.”
Fyodor hummed. “However… I'd consider the role of ice—apathy, greed, and selfishness, to be grander.”
Dazai tilted his head. “Isn't violence practically second nature to us?”
Fyodor's smile widened, shaking his head as he explained, “It is the nature of humans to be cold too. The tendency to remain selfish results in mankind being unable to work together—”
“We’re apathetic, you mean?” Dazai chimed in. “Too caught up with ourselves to worry about others?”
“You are starting to understand,” Fyodor remarked, slightly irritated at the interruption. “They are blinded by greed, losing the ability to care unless something concerns them directly.”
Dazai yawned. “Bla bla bla, and this somehow ties up with abilities, gotcha.”
Narrowing his eyes, Fyodor ignored him and continued, “This lack of unity, alongside violence and a sprinkle of human stupidity, results in war.”
“What, so you think we're naturally inclined to start wars?”
He nodded. “War can begin due to the lack of empathy and understanding... or simple greed and selfishness.”
“Ehh, I don't think that.” Watching Fyodor’s eyes widening slightly, Dazai snickered and explained, “Resource scarcity, ideological differences, etc., lead to war; apathy is just a fuel.”
“Again, lack of understanding.” Fyodor sighed. “Which is basically apathy.”
"Apathy isn't always negative—sometimes, it can lead to peaceful resolutions.” Laughing as he made Fyodor awe-struck for probably the second time, Dazai continued, “If people aren't invested enough to fight, they might end up avoiding conflict altogether—”
“...Because people who are apathetic tend to be more indifferent and less aggressive,” Fyodor mused.
Dazai hummed, amused. “I'd say that could actually prevent fights from breaking out in the first place.”
Fyodor raised his eyebrows in interest.
“I assume you prefer fire, then?”
Dazai grinned. “As you had said earlier, fire and ice both will play a role.. because they are tied together.”
Fyodor quirked up a small smirk. “We can only tell as time passes, hm?”
“Seeing what the future has in store for us,” He murmured.
“Quite.”
Fyodor simply returned his attention back to the book, picking it up, as Dazai leaned back to have a shut-eye.

Prompt by @sicktember :
[Day 13] Prompt 13; Mononucleosis
I’m so obsessed with the relationship Ace Attorney has with the color blue so i wrote a really shitty underdeveloped analysis on it. Apologies if it’s out or character or wrong or the grammar is fucked up, I’m new to this type of thing.
I just think it’s so interesting how Phoenix is blue and edgeworth is red like obviously “oh haha redblue gays” trope but like I think about how blue specifically is the color of loyalty and red is the color of passion, and blood and aggression despite the fact that edgeworth cold and calculating(or he at least appears to be) and he’s passionate about prosecuting to a fault, he falls to fully consider the truth in his passion and pays for it with the blood on his hands of his possibly false convictions. He’s constantly draped in the blood of his past.
whilst blue is a calming color associated with high class yet Phoenix is loud and crude and a rookie nobody art student. I doubt I need to go into the specifics about his loyalty honestly lmao.
But the color language extends so much farther then just them.
I think so much about how Trucy goes from pink to blue as she aged and is no longer Zak’s daughter but Phoenix’s and adopts his signature color to visually establish this.
I THINK ABOUT HOW PHOENIX HAD A PINK SWEATER THE FIRST TIME HE APPEARS IN COURT I THINK ABOUT HOW HE WORE THAT PINK SWEATER WHEN HE DECIDED HE WAS GOING TO STUDY LAW.
I THINK ABOUT HOW KRISTOPH HAS A BLUE SUIT AND RED TIE AND SUPPOSEDLY HATES PHOENIX’S GUTS, THERES SO MUCH IMPLICATION HERE HOW HE DRESSES EXACTLY LIKE HIM. HIS JEALOUSY HIS ENVY HIS INABILITY TO BE PHOENIX, IN ALL HIS FAME AND RENOWN AND LOVE, HIS BLINDING LOVE FOR THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM AND RENOWN FOR HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
I THINK SO FUCKING OFTEN ABOUT HOW THE PROSECUTORS BADGE IN MEJI ERA JAPAN IS BLUE AND THE DEFENSE BADGE IS RED.
I THINK ABOUT HOW KAZUMA HAS RED ACCENTS AND RYUNOSUKE HAS BLUE.
I THINK SO MUCH ABOUT HOW RYUNOSUKE HAS BLUE ACCENTS YET HES A DEFENSE LAWYER AND KAZUMA HAS RED ACCENTS DESPITE STARTING OFF AS A DEFENSE LAWYER AND TURNING INTO A PROSECUTOR AND THEN KEEPS THOSE RED ACCENTS…
I think about,
how the colors switched at some point.
i was re-reading my first fic (it's an unfinished long fic and I wanted to get an idea on wtf is going on to complete the thing), and holy shit do I want to delete the fic and myself from existence
like I wanna go up to every single person who has ever read this crap and genuinely apologize
In all honesty I really don't think Sigma would be the type of guy to join the Armed Detective Agency. Or at least, he wouldn't join immediately after this whole arc ends.
I feel like the only thing that draws him towards the ADA is the fact that it's a new home and it'll definitely be different this time, because of what he's seen from Atsushi and what Dazai has promised him.
But I feel like that's the exact same reason why he wouldn't immediately fit in, because he'd be joining the ADA for selfish reasons, to benefit himself in a way. And while his motives are harmless, to get the pass from Fukuzawa, you'd have to show a display of selflessness.
Like how Atsushi threw himself towards the bomb, and Kyouka sacrificed herself.
Sigma...kinda wouldn't do that, because he hasn't yet grown from selfishness.
I mean, he literally had an army of people who were in debt to the casino ready to exploit, which makes you think if that's the real reason why, of all establishments, it's a casino he makes his new home.
Granted the casino was planned by Fyodor, but for Sigma to grow such a desperate attachment to it in the first place implies that Fyodor had it specifically catered to make Sigma happy and attached.
And then later on, it's only when Dazai started showing signs of having a shot at beating Fyodor did Sigma then go, "Oh okay, I guess I will side with you after all."
Like hello, princess, that is Dazai Osamu from Armed Detective Agency, you were supposed to GAF from the staaaart~ Sure he was dicking around, but to just Give Up like that and almost storm off... lmfao???
All in all, as resourceful as Sigma is, when it comes down to it, he'd never willingly put himself into danger for the greater good unless he's that desperate, and he's only ever that desperate when it comes to his own needs. LOL!
but also i just think Sigma should just take a long holiday or go to prison after this.
Oak: You deserve a reward for putting up with me.
Wren: *smiles* You are my reward.
Cardan: You deserve a reward for putting up with me.
Jude: Yeah, you’re a real bitch sometimes
update: the shatter me collection arrived in the afternoon and I've already finished the first book (took me about six hours)
thoughts? warner is so incredibly unlikable I have no idea how he's gonna be redeemed.
sigma is very alone on valentine's :( would YOU like to be his date?
