Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
Hello, Hello!!
You said your requests are open, yes? Well, im here to submit one if it's not a burden <33
Can I request Fyodor Dostoevsky x Male reader who is a religious cult leader? (You can choose it's it's yandere, platonic, romantic, etc)
For example, the reader is a priest but is super nice, a little too nice-- Fyodor happens to run across him during in what the start of season four would be(when the ADA didn't listen to Ranpo's starting point) and deemed m/n as just: "a feeble priest" who invited him to church, however, when Fyodor decides to go to the church out of curiosity he finds out m/n is insane for whatever god he worships, instead of his soft and caring personality he had when he first met Fyodor; he now has a more crazed and insane one, "reaching the holy words" and screaming obscenities to the rest of the church members in the pews?
And possibly for an interesting touch(only for the drama because im quite obsessed with dramatic stories where characters get surprised when m/n does something), the reader usually keeps their eyes closed, eventually leading people into thinking that he is blind, only for him to open his eyes when he's doing cultist meetings?
I know this is such a strange ask đđ and if it makes you uncomfortable I understand 100%, this is actually a storyline for one of my ocs, and I thought it would be neat to see this sort of storyline in your style and as a fanfic!!
(P.S I HAVE READ SOME OF YOUR WRITING AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH đâ€ïžâ€ïž I don't request often either so I wanted you to know this is how much I appreciate your writing style)
thanks for requesting!

fyodor dostoevsky x male reader [he / him]
sypnosis: above!
the lowercase is intentional !
you were going about your day, on your way to your work as a priest before bumping into a man. this man was no ordinary man, it was fyodor dostoevsky, a member of the decay of angels. but you didn't know that yet, and neither did he know about your secret profession.
"i'm so, so sorry!" you stutter out with a bow, keeping a nice, caring persona on to lure fyodor in. your eyes are closed, so you can't make out what the man infront of you looks like, but you take a quick peak at him before closing your eyes again. "it's alright," he smirked. "don't worry about it." his accent was thick and heavy. you were now more curious about him. you were definitely going to try and lure him into your cult.
"my name's [name]. i am truly sorry for bumping into you.." your eyes are closed and fyodor can now understand why you bumped into him. you were probably blind, so he felt a little sympathetic towards your case, which was a surprise from him. "it's okay, don't worry about it truly. i'm fyodor." he smiled, even though you wouldn't be able to see.
you bowed at him again, still muttering a string of apologies before he takes your shoulder in his hand. "please stop apologising, i've already forgiven you." the contact made you shiver, but in a good way. you looked up at him again. "okay, okay. sorry. would you like to come over to come over to my church? i was just on the way now before bumping into you. it'll be my way of showing gratitude and forgiveness." you smile, but there's a hint of evil about your smile that fyodor doesn't seem to catch on to.
"oh, well i don't see why not." fyodor smiled in response. "if you're insisting, i'll come along. i guess it is really the only way you could repay me." the black haired man continued smiling. fyodor was geniunely curious about your church. what god did you worship? etc, etc. those questions were running through his mind. he also liked how sweet you were, it was like he could take advantage of you if he'd like to later. but he was wrong, of course. you didn't show him how you truly were. a cruel, evil cult leader. you simply acted all sweet to lure more people into your trap.
the two of you then arrived at the church. it was lively as people were waiting for the next session to take place and they were waiting for [name] to lead it. you had a smirk on your face as you faced fyodor again. "you just sit where you like and have a little listen to my ceremony, okay?" you smile sweetly at him, but your intentions are far from sweet.
the atmosphere of the church was also quite sinister.. but fyodor couldn't tell what was off about the whole place just yet. he decided to go along with whatever you had planned. he sat down in a seat near the back and waited for you to start.
you walk to the altar and get your things ready to prepare your next speech for your followers. you enjoy the feeling that you have a new guest today - fyodor. maybe you'd convince him to join your 'true' religion in the end and get him to praise your 'true' god.
"greetings, guests!" you call out, finally opening your eyes to scan the eyes of the audience. fyodor was a little startled at first. he didn't think you could see.. but maybe that was just a slight misjudgment on his behalf, so he tried to brush it off and not seem ignorant.
everyone was already shouting praises at you, even though you had only said two words. everyone sitting in the rows at the church were all familiar faces that you knew. you took your time usually to greet each individual once you entered the church, but today was different. you were running late due to fyodor, so you'd leave all the friendliness with your followers to later.
"i assume everyone knows why we're gathered here today?" you ask and people in the crowd yell back a string of 'yes'es or just screams. "oh but of course, there is someone new here today!" an evil grin grows on your face as you turn to look at fyodor. "I hope everyone will be nice to our hopefully new follower!" your grin then turns into a sweet smile, hints of evil still around it. your voice was sickeningly sweet as well, starting to creep fyodor of all people out a little bit too.
"today we are gathered yet again to praise the true god!" you yell out, your voice starting to grow more and more menacing as you praised this false god. "not the ones those so called real worshipers follow.. our god!" everyone started cheering your name, they seemed to be just as brainwashed, or even worse than you.
fyodor was starting to get a little creeped out. he wanted to leave, and fast. he didn't intend on meeting a cult leader in the first place. he just thought he had bumped into a sweet, innocent and blind man. but oh how he was so wrong.
your words started to linger in fyodor's mind. everything you said about this god stuck out to him. some of his curiosity was peaked, maybe it was because of you - not the person you decided to worship. something about you seemed so interesting, fyodor forgot his intentions on leaving now. he wanted to stay and listen to your voice forever.
maybe it was your voice, the way you spoke about this idol you worshipped. or maybe it was how captivating you were, the way you faked your sweet charm just to lure him in. whatever it was, fyodor was definitely interested. he was definitely going to be coming back for more talks.. mostly because he wanted to be by your side though.
once the 'prayer' meeting was over and you had said goodbye to each of your guests, you decide to go back to fyodor and have a chat with him. he had a surprised look on his face the entire time you spoke and you were certainly amused by that. "well hello, fyodor." you spoke, a smirk on your face. it the exact one you had playing on your face when fyodor first came into the church. "i see you enjoyed your time here, yes?" you asked, leaning close to him. he immediately nodded, captivated by your alluring voice.
"yes, i did enjoy it. for more reasons than you may think, however." fyodor laughed lightly, looking at you. "it is safe to say, i will be returning.. only if i am not busy with my own plans you see." he smiled at you, slightly returning the smirk you had on your lips. "of course, of course! you are welcome to join us anytime. i will be delighted." you chuckled back, pleased to hear that the ravenette will be returning.
fyodor had practically forgotten who you were - a cult leader that just spewed obscenities to his followers. he had completely zoned out.. but he wasn't that innocent of a man either, so he couldn't blame you. fyodor was truly fascinated about your act, maybe he could learn a thing or two from the wolf in sheep's clothing...

Dazai Osamu:
Obviously this man, would want you to have the best birthday of your whole entire life.
I mean, he probs didn't have any good birthdays considering his years of the mafia and how Mori had treated him over the years.
So when he knew that your birthday was coming up, he was planning it all carefully.
He got the perfect gifts, the cake, everything was done by the day it arrived.
So when you were alone with him, as he smiled at you, saying "Happy birthday belladonna!" with such a loving tone while carrying the cake (No he didn't bake it himself please don't let him in the kitchen-) You just started to cry.
He slightly panicked, cause we all know he isn't the best when it comes to human emotions.
He carefully set down the cake on the table as he hugged you, kissing on top of your head once in a while letting you cry in his chest
He carefully asks what's wrong, as you explains about your past and what you've been struggling with.
He frowned at the thought of his lover struggling so badly in life, relating to it himself. He cupped your face, and kissed your nose gently.
"I'm glad you're here, cause my birthday girl makes me the happiest man on earth."
Cue the water works again-
Atsushi Nakajima:
Sweet baby Jesus this poor baby-
He has absolutely no idea just him waking you up with breakfast on bed would automatically result into you crying badly in bed
"I-I'M SORRY! DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG-?"
He panicking please make sure to make sure he knows its not his fault.
as you explain to him what exactly happened, with you talking about your past, he can't help but get sad himself.
He loves you dearly and he doesn't want you to feel this way ever again.
He makes sure you will have the best day of your life
"let's go out! My treat!" He smiles brightly, that stupid dorky smile you absolutely adore.
Let's just say you feel extremely loved that day
Kunikida doppo:
Watch this man have your birthdays for the upcoming 10 years planned out completely-
He is a planning maniac after allđ
That's his love language though, act of service and for his partner he would gladly do so-
So he woke you up at 7 am in the morning cause of all the activities he had planned for you
"Y/n, wake up we have to leave in 15 minutes for your birthday activities."
"doppo its like 7 in the morning please-"
But after progressing the work he all did for you, going to your favourite restaurant, having everything you ever wanted ready for you, you couldn't help but cry silently with a smile while looking at him
This dude got caught of guard by your tears
You quickly had to explain that it was because of whatever was playing in the past
He looked at you with a sad look when you were done explaining
"Those times are over now dear, You've made it this far, You did it and I'm proud of you
Yosano akiko:
This absolute queen prepared everything besides her busy schedule, bless her heart-
She took you to the cafe beneath the agency, smiling gently as she let someone from the cafe bring out the cake with a small candle on it.
"Happy birthday my love" She chirped, as she had settled the gifts for you besides her.
Cue the water work from your end-
Being a doctor and all, she also took a hobby on studying people on the daily, so seeing how you reacted, she smiled gently and pulled you in a hug, letting you cry on top of her.
You told her about your past, as she listened carefully.
"Your safe and sound now Y/n, I love you"
Chuuya Nakahara:
Money money money-
he ain't scared to spoil you rotten with love on your birthday.
He cares a lot about the people he cares about and would do everything to protect them, especially the love of his life.
he took you on top of a rooftop somewhere in the city, watching the stars as he gifted you tons of gifts
Your bright smile couldn't distract him from the tears rolling down your cheeks
He cupped your face in worry, as you explained the reason why you were crying.
His face was slightly angry, not at you, but at the people who possibly could've cost this mind set.
"don't worry princess, I'll protect you with my life, now come on lets open another present."
Akutugawa ryunosuke:
He's interesting alright-
he never really had the best life, but he really wants to make you feel loved, even if he finds it hard to express it.
You don't really mind how he is, and you know how hard he tries.
So when he was done with work, and came at your doorstep with flowers in his hands, your favourite flowers, and your favourite snacks in a basket for your birthday, You began crying of happiness.
He immediately thought he did something wrong
please tell him its not him-
You explained your past and why you began crying, and he couldn't really help but feel bad for you
He set the gifts down on the table, and kissed your forehead gently
"You're fine and alive now, and thats what matters to me, You being happy and alive.
Fyodor dostoyevsky:
This man, with dazai, confuse me and interest me all at the same time-
He would not be the best with you crying, as he hardly really shows any sorts of sadness, guilt, rage, etc etc.
he does try his best though!
His reaction to you crying cause of your birthday is just to stand there, not knowing what to do-
eventually he just lets you cry and pats your head gently as you slowly start explaining why you are crying right now
He does feel bad for you, but he just pulled you closer to him as he let you rest on top of him.
"No need to worry about those days anymore Y/n, you got through them."
Nikolai Gogol:
This man was more excited than you were over your birthday-
legit jumping next to your bed to wake you up and open his gifts
and goddamn did he get a lot for you
he had prepared anything you could dream off, as he looked at you like a puppy waiting for his reward.
what he didn't expect was you to full on cry.
he quickly turned into a Serious Nikolai and pulled you in a hug.
You explained while crying about your past and reasons and he just held you even closer.
"I'll be here for you, always and forever, till death does us part."

A/N: Im gonna make this fanfic quite short since I've been busy and drained.. Please enjoy the read<3!
( áŽá áŽ+WARNINGS! : DRUG USAGE, MURDER, DEATH (+ nickname usage, - Lyubov' (love) & ĐĐœĐłĐ”Đ» (angel)
Being somebody who is considered 'immortal' wasn't easy, you see the people you love die easily.
Originally, fyodor wanted to save humanity, he believed that everyone needed saving except the people who abused the abilities that was bestowed onto them by the heavens.
He only loved ONE person, a woman who has gained his interest and his affection. The love he had was unconditional and affectionate, a raging storm that was shined upon with the everlasting moonlight. And that was all YOU.
But one day, you needed to visit a certain island due to your studies, being the lover fyodor was, he was quite skeptical and paranoid that something may happen to you, but he didn't wanna cut off your freedom as he does love you dearly.. So he let you off.
With a kiss on the hand and a cheek, you leave the house with a suitcase, on your way to the ship that you were going on, it was a ship controlled by a wealthy and powerful dictator, who the DOSTOEVSKY wasn't fond of.
The ship set sailed in ease..
A few days later, fyodor received a message that the ship went missing. Including you. And the only person who survived it was no other than the dictator himself.
Fyodor clutched his fists as he read through the letter, it wasn't often he was enranged like this, but the melancholic feeling of his lover missing consumed him, how could he let this happen? He should've never let you on in the ship.
Eventually thats when he became a ruthless man, he was already making ability users perish but the only thing he admired and adored the most has been taken away from him, he had a plan. A plan to kill the dictator.
He was used to hiding, but he didn't want to anymore. He'd do anything to avenge your death. Your body wasn't even found.
Years passed by, population went down due to his sprees, this void in him was eating him alive.
Every neck he slashed and every shot he has taken was all for you.
He walked through the jagged rocks of the beach, trying to get away from his past. He wanted to forget about it, but he didn't wanna forget you. He walked groggily, he recently took some Lysergic acid diethylamide, he wanted to lay off of life for a second and forget his surroundings. He wasn't normally this disheveled and unhinged, but your death really took a toll on him.
The wind howled through the decaying coastal town, carrying with it the scent of salt and the distant, mournful cries of the sea. Fyodors face gaunt and hollow-eyed, stumbled along the cobblestone streets, the weight of the past dragging at his every step. He had come to this place seeking something anything that could fill the void left by the death of his wife. But in his search for solace, he had found only darkness.
He took another blotter paper with LSD, he walked till the end of the coast line, nobody was around as the numbing feeling of the substance took over his chest, that dulled tha pain he endured. His legs were cut and he was pale and skinny, you were always the one who was taking care of him that he forgot what to eat, drink and how to sleep.
He looked at the moon with half lidded eyes and soft breathing before hearing a familiar voice. The singing was melodic and smooth to hear, a voice that had the same pitch, tone, and key to yours. This can't be real right?
He immediately walks over to the sound, trying to find it. The sky was oddly colorful today. It was a deep blue. He walked over and he hears it getting louder, he breathes heavily. Running towards the sound, he didn't wanna speak yet. He had to find out himself, were you still alive? After all these years?
With unsteady steps, he descended the rocky path to the shore, the waves crashing violently against the rocks. There, in the shallow waters, stood a figure, bathed in the ghostly light of the moon. Her hair tangled and damp, her skin beautiful and glistening with the spray of the sea. But it was her eyes. those familiar, haunting eyesâ.. that stopped fyodor in his tracks.
"Lyubov'.." he muttered with wide eyes and disbelief, his sadness washing away from his chest.
His breath caught in his throat. It couldnât be. Yet, as he looked at her, he was certain that this was his wife, that returned to him from beyond the grave. His heart swelled with a mix of joy and sorrow, his mind reeling with the impossibility of it all.
âfedya.. â you whispered with a teasing grin, your voice a soft, melodic echo of the song that had called him. breath caught in his throat. It couldnât be. Yet, as he looked at her, he was certainâthis was his wife.. His beloved lover, That returned to him from beyond the grave. His heart swelled with a mix of joy and sorrow, his mind reeling with the impossibility of it all.
âYou came back ĐĐœĐłĐ”Đ»..!â he choked out, walking toward you with an admiring grin. âI knew you would come back."
The siren, his wife, smiled, a sad, distant expression that seemed almost⊠wrong.
âI never left, fedya. I've been here all along. Awaiting for your arrival, my dear." you whispered softly in his ear.
He fell to his knees in the icy cold water, reaching out to touch her. His hand trembled as it brushed against your cheek, you leaned into his touch, your skin cold, damp, and scaley..yet familiar.
He grinned gently, wrapping his hands on your waist, admiring your beautiful face. This is what dreams are made of right? Everything felt completely right. His eyes were filled with adoration and solace. The gaping void in his chest was filled once again, he was finally with you. His wife.
"I've done alot of things in the past, im afraid. But i did it all for you." he caressed your skin, but it felt.. Hard and cold. He ignored that, he just wanted to be with you, to touch you, to love you all over again. "I want you to understand, lyubov'. If you come back amd see the way things are now, don't be afraid."
His eyes were locked onto yours, tucking a piece of your hair behind your finned ears. He looked down, seeing your scaley tail. He didn't care of you weren't human anymore.
You lean onto him, "I'm back now.. Come with me instead, into the depths of the ocean." he nods, his gaze locked onto yours, "let go, and be with me.. Forever. In the sea. We'll love again,"â he nodded, his thumb caressing your cheek as he held your waist securely. "we'll laugh again, and we'll be together. Forever."
His heart pounded in his chest, his breath coming in ragged gasps. He had yearned for this moment, to be reunited with you, to finally find peace and have you in his arms. He leaned in, his lips brushing against yours, cold and salty like the sea.. But how beautiful you were..
But as he kissed you, he felt nothing but bones. He felt something hard, it wasn't the soft lips that he would kiss every night.
No.
It wasn't.
The substances effect slowly faded away, he looked back at you.. his eyes wide with horror. The figure before him was no longer his wife, no longer the ethereal beauty who had called to him from the sea. She was something else!- something twisted and grotesque. Your bones were pale, bloated, mottled with decay, and your eyes.. those eyes.. were empty, hollow sockets.
This was not a reincarnation of you as a siren. It was your remains. Your rotting missing cadaver that had washed up on shore. Your boned were waterlogged and broken, her limbs twisted at unnatural angles. The crashing waves of the oceans was evident that it crushed your body. The waves and smell of the sea surrounded him as he held your decaying bones.
He looked at your ring finger. It still had the ring he proposed to you with, a patch of grey rotting skin was under the ring. Your skin, that he worshipped and adored the most. His breath was jagged and he held your hand, a single tear dropping down his eye.
The corpse stared back at him with empty eyes, her mouth twisted into a mockery of the smile he loved. He looks down and he held your decaying body close, leaning his head onto your shoulder.
"I.. I will then. If you want it, I'll do it."
It was all a hallucination. But he didn't want to believe that. He believed it was still you. He carried your rotting bones in bridal style, like he did during your wedding day.
He took another dose of his substances and he walked deeper into the ocean.
Deeper.
And deeper..
And deeper.
A/N: the color of the theme is blue and white, completely different from my theme which is red and black..but i wanted to change it up abit. Thanks for reading. This actually made me sad abit..

Okay can someone pls help me find that one Fyodor x reader fic series in which apparently we both are immortal? I remember the first chapter was "Angel, he calls me" or something like that but I neither remember the writer nor the rest and I can't find it anymore-
fyodor dostoevsky x gn! reader. synopsis: two souls inexplicably intertwined, only for one to kiss death again and again, and for the other to stand witness. throughout the lifetimes, he watches you seek him out, curiously watching you seal your fate. read on ao3
warning : canon typical violence, mentions of death
author's note: holy SHIT i'm doing a series for once. this fic is set in the past, but eventually will become canon compliant. this is a reincarnated! reader fic. the chapters will be considerably longer (i'm aiming 2.5-3k words everytime, but this one will be short because it's a prologue.Â
Unnerving.
 That was the first word you could think of to describe the feeling that seemed to crawl like a spider up the webbings of your veins when you entered the hall; this giant, grotesquely adorned opera hall with ceilings high enough to make one feel infinitely small, the arches too high to properly glean at the painted reliefs on them. The marble floor of the hall remains empty save for a few groups of guests. The linen note you received yesterday crumples in your tight grip. It states clearly in cursive, inked with clarityâ that this was, or rather, should be the correct time and place for you to be here. With your best attempt, you try not to look lost, not keeping the eye or conversation of anyone for long enough to be able to feel the full weight of their gaze. Unremarkable people in their own right, yet the stateliness that their haughty gazes carried made their gaze a weight that rested heavily on your shoulders. Somehow, their superimposed, silent pride had made it a lot harder to freely move, every action carefully noted and judged, as if they were the sole authority worth doing so. Tonight only, they were all birds of a feather.
 You usher yourself into an adjacent room, pushing a heavy door on the far right side of the hall. Pinching at the hem of your opera gloves, your velveteen fingers lock the door behind you. When you turn around, you see the sender of the note in your palm, with his hands clasped in front of him. A pale young man, gracile and willowy in build, with unreadable yet deep eyes and pale pink lips curled in a sardonic, yet cordial smile. He was dressed in the fashion of the times; a violet cravat neatly tucked into his shirt, matching to the dim shade reflected in his eyes, a small brooch in the shape of an angelâs wings. Owing to the harsh weather, a winter overcoat was draped over the fineries, lined with furâ understated and respectable, yet not standing out. A glint of silver shines under his sleeve, hardly noticeable; not that of a watch or a bracelet, but the tip of a dagger.
 You have no reason to believe that the reveal is not intentional.Â
 In your life, you have only ever met Fyodor Dostoevsky four times in person; your correspondence has been limited to perfumed letters that are burned soon after they are read. The first time was in a chapel, his form sitting in a pew with unmoving tranquility, like that only ever found in placid, glacial lakesâcounting the beads of his rosary although his mouth had not once moved in prayer. You do not recall why you spent so much time watching him, yet he seemed to command your attention with not so much as a word. He could keenly feel your observation, but for some reason you could not tell, he only glanced at you with a knowing smile, whispered a morning greeting, and left.
 The second time, it was in midst of the crowd that followed a public execution, though you remember not what misdeed had led that young man to the scaffold, barely of age. A short drop; you saw the deadly tie placed around that manâs neck, the force not immediately snapping his neck, but rather slowly cutting off his breath, leaving him hanging limp off the rope. You did not wait long enough to see him pass away, but you heard the man next to you mumble something about how 'there's no hope for them, there's no hope for any of themâŠâ Rather than sadness or contemplation, there was a tone of cruel, self aware irony in his intonation.
 Fyodor had stayed behind, observing the condemned man a few minutes more.Â
 The third time, it was through an associate of yours. While you could not fathom why a seemingly devout man would associate with criminals, especially those that specialized in the matter of political assassinations, you did not question your new patron much. So long as he provided his support, it would be unwise to question generosity out loud. It would not be the first time people wore religion like a disguise for their actions, a pretty accessory that could be discarded at will. It wasn't until the past three months that he started becoming more actively involved in theseâŠprojects of sorts, and while you could not help but wonder how he seemed to convince your usually suspicious and steadfast superiors so quickly, he had still not given you a reason to question him. That first night you had worked with him is only a fuzzy memory now. By the time you had even reached the location, he was already leaving. When he closed the door behind him, he only expressed formal concern about the late hour and your return home, suggesting that he shall fetch a coach for the both of you.Â
 While his back was turned, your fingers reached tentatively for the doorknob, silently opening it. In the dim candlelight, the glimmer of still warm blood shone on the floors, the limp bodies of around five men with their eyes blown wide lay scattered around the study. You were no stranger to bloody sights, however, the reason your mouth had become dry and your head felt heavy was not the slaughtered bodies of those targets, but rather the one in the centre.Â
 Fyodor Dostoevsky, laying decidedly dead, with a bullet lodged in the middle of his eyes.Â
 You closed the door the moment you caught a glimpse of that sight. Perhaps your mind was playing tricks on you. It had to be, for the man you know to be Fyodor was currently not too far ahead of you, standing on the edge of the road and talking to a coach. You wondered why he hadn't locked the door after the deed was done. If he had intended for you to see what you had. The ride home had passed in silence, and you bid him a quiet farewell, head swirling from the events of the night.
 Tonight is the fourth time you have laid your eyes upon this strange man. One who has strangely made himself a recurring thought in your mind, an unwitting parasite. Usually, you had no choice but to curb your curiosity regarding certain people, given that asking too many questions could at best result in a stern rebuke or at worst, pointed violence. In that way, the new patronâs serene demeanor was disarming, yet could not entirely dispel the suspicion you kept close like an old friend. Before you could lose yourself in your silent perusal of his character any longer, the sound of his voice brings you back from your musings.Â
 âPunctual, good. I trust you know what we're here for, so let us begin. Have you brought the vial?â
 The glass sits cool near your skin, and with a quick reach from your pockets, you produce the item. The liquid inside was clear, smelling like nothing in particular; the vial itself was shaped like those typically used to store smelling salts; slightly darker in color. A blend of arsenic and atropa belladonna distillates, or so you have been told. The vial he had given you looked worn, your thumb could feel the scratches on the glass and an weathered old apothecary label that read an year and initials. For F.D, 1606.
 These details remain in your memory, but they are like some sort of eccentric joke; disjointed and without meaning. Fyodor takes the vial, inspecting it for a moment, before giving it back. âItâs not fullâŠbut it will be enough for our task. Our guest will be in the box owned by his family, number five if my memory serves me. It will be high enough for no one to see you. The poison will take about an hour to act, and by that time the after party would have begun. Escort him down to keep up appearances, then lead him to one of the greenrooms. They will be empty at this hour. Wait till the body drops, and then meet me in the gardens with the corpse.âÂ
 You nod, movements a little exaggerated to combat the stiffness in your limbs. The stubborn feeling that accompanied the onset of missions like these; an ache in your head that felt as though someone was tightening an imaginary cord round your head. The feeling of bile in your throat that won't yet rise; no, that was reserved for after the body is buried. The danger makes you nauseous with anxiety, always has. Yet even as you hear the details of the disposal of the body, repeated by the man in front of you in a clinical tone, you hold yourself well. Back straight, looking at him directly, words uttered only with deliberation and no syllable empty when you discussed the details with him further; this is what you were made for.
 Your composure is admirable, he thinks, if only you knew who exactly you were attempting to fool.Â
 âAre you nervous?â He asks, without pity or mockery.
âNo. Does something make you think so?âÂ
âYou are to kill a man in front of half the city, I would expect you to be nervous.â
You shake your head. âItâs what must be done.â
âI wonder if you say so with duty, or with compulsion?â
 You run the words you are about to say carefully in your head, numerous times. Conversations were not a means of amusement to you, but rather a delicate game. The most convincing lies are poisoned by truth.Â
 âThey're one and the same.â
Fyodor's expression shifts, the slight mocking lift of the corners of his lips disappearing. There is sympathy where the lights meet the cold violet in his eyes. Not the kind of sympathy that results from care, but sort of a cynical disappointment that communicates that he was expecting something different; you recognize it, for you have seen it in several places. In your friends, in the eyes of confessional priests through the wood mesh, in the man you work for. âI must say, it is regrettable that you think so. But for a person in your situation, it was unsurprising. For the time being, this will suffice; now, head to the box hallway, the overture should begin soon. One last thingâŠâ
 âYes?â You pocket the vial, ready for your cue to leave.
 â... Your hands are trembling. It is unsightly, see to it before anyone else notices.âÂ
 The tremble of your velvet fingers stops once you begin to think about it consciously. Slightly embarrassed, you place your hands behind your back, clutching one with the other. Itâs a strange feeling, for it's not the trembling that bothers you, but the fact that he could notice that small detail when his eyes seemed to be trained on your face the whole time.
 âUnderstood. Goodbye, then, Iâll see you once Iâve administered the poison.â
âI hope you'll be flawless in your execution this time as well. Good evening.â
 He gives a solemn nod, walking to the exit with light, fluid steps; movements as subtle and quiet as that of a ghost. As his back turns to you, your fingers itch to reach for the dagger on your thigh and thrust it into his neck, then twist and twist until you no longer feel seen in such an uncomfortably raw way. Till the discomfort of the moment fades and you no longer feel eyes in the back of your head even as he has walked out that door. When it shuts once more, you are left to quell the sudden rage that simmers under your skin, remembering what you are here for.Â
  Unfortunately for you, Fyodorâs presence seeps into the mind like poison and sticks on it like honey.
fyodor dostoevsky x gn! reader. synopsis: two souls inexplicably intertwined, only for one to kiss death again and again, and for the other to stand witness. throughout the lifetimes, he watches you seek him out, curiously watching you seal your fate. read on ao3
warning : canon typical violence, mentions of death
author's note: holy SHIT i'm doing a series for once. this fic is set in the past, but eventually will become canon compliant. this is a reincarnated! reader fic. the chapters will be considerably longer (i'm aiming 2.5-3k words everytime, but this one will be short because it's a prologue.Â
Unnerving.
 That was the first word you could think of to describe the feeling that seemed to crawl like a spider up the webbings of your veins when you entered the hall; this giant, grotesquely adorned opera hall with ceilings high enough to make one feel infinitely small, the arches too high to properly glean at the painted reliefs on them. The marble floor of the hall remains empty save for a few groups of guests. The linen note you received yesterday crumples in your tight grip. It states clearly in cursive, inked with clarityâ that this was, or rather, should be the correct time and place for you to be here. With your best attempt, you try not to look lost, not keeping the eye or conversation of anyone for long enough to be able to feel the full weight of their gaze. Unremarkable people in their own right, yet the stateliness that their haughty gazes carried made their gaze a weight that rested heavily on your shoulders. Somehow, their superimposed, silent pride had made it a lot harder to freely move, every action carefully noted and judged, as if they were the sole authority worth doing so. Tonight only, they were all birds of a feather.
 You usher yourself into an adjacent room, pushing a heavy door on the far right side of the hall. Pinching at the hem of your opera gloves, your velveteen fingers lock the door behind you. When you turn around, you see the sender of the note in your palm, with his hands clasped in front of him. A pale young man, gracile and willowy in build, with unreadable yet deep eyes and pale pink lips curled in a sardonic, yet cordial smile. He was dressed in the fashion of the times; a violet cravat neatly tucked into his shirt, matching to the dim shade reflected in his eyes, a small brooch in the shape of an angelâs wings. Owing to the harsh weather, a winter overcoat was draped over the fineries, lined with furâ understated and respectable, yet not standing out. A glint of silver shines under his sleeve, hardly noticeable; not that of a watch or a bracelet, but the tip of a dagger.
 You have no reason to believe that the reveal is not intentional.Â
 In your life, you have only ever met Fyodor Dostoevsky four times in person; your correspondence has been limited to perfumed letters that are burned soon after they are read. The first time was in a chapel, his form sitting in a pew with unmoving tranquility, like that only ever found in placid, glacial lakesâcounting the beads of his rosary although his mouth had not once moved in prayer. You do not recall why you spent so much time watching him, yet he seemed to command your attention with not so much as a word. He could keenly feel your observation, but for some reason you could not tell, he only glanced at you with a knowing smile, whispered a morning greeting, and left.
 The second time, it was in midst of the crowd that followed a public execution, though you remember not what misdeed had led that young man to the scaffold, barely of age. A short drop; you saw the deadly tie placed around that manâs neck, the force not immediately snapping his neck, but rather slowly cutting off his breath, leaving him hanging limp off the rope. You did not wait long enough to see him pass away, but you heard the man next to you mumble something about how 'there's no hope for them, there's no hope for any of themâŠâ Rather than sadness or contemplation, there was a tone of cruel, self aware irony in his intonation.
 Fyodor had stayed behind, observing the condemned man a few minutes more.Â
 The third time, it was through an associate of yours. While you could not fathom why a seemingly devout man would associate with criminals, especially those that specialized in the matter of political assassinations, you did not question your new patron much. So long as he provided his support, it would be unwise to question generosity out loud. It would not be the first time people wore religion like a disguise for their actions, a pretty accessory that could be discarded at will. It wasn't until the past three months that he started becoming more actively involved in theseâŠprojects of sorts, and while you could not help but wonder how he seemed to convince your usually suspicious and steadfast superiors so quickly, he had still not given you a reason to question him. That first night you had worked with him is only a fuzzy memory now. By the time you had even reached the location, he was already leaving. When he closed the door behind him, he only expressed formal concern about the late hour and your return home, suggesting that he shall fetch a coach for the both of you.Â
 While his back was turned, your fingers reached tentatively for the doorknob, silently opening it. In the dim candlelight, the glimmer of still warm blood shone on the floors, the limp bodies of around five men with their eyes blown wide lay scattered around the study. You were no stranger to bloody sights, however, the reason your mouth had become dry and your head felt heavy was not the slaughtered bodies of those targets, but rather the one in the centre.Â
 Fyodor Dostoevsky, laying decidedly dead, with a bullet lodged in the middle of his eyes.Â
 You closed the door the moment you caught a glimpse of that sight. Perhaps your mind was playing tricks on you. It had to be, for the man you know to be Fyodor was currently not too far ahead of you, standing on the edge of the road and talking to a coach. You wondered why he hadn't locked the door after the deed was done. If he had intended for you to see what you had. The ride home had passed in silence, and you bid him a quiet farewell, head swirling from the events of the night.
 Tonight is the fourth time you have laid your eyes upon this strange man. One who has strangely made himself a recurring thought in your mind, an unwitting parasite. Usually, you had no choice but to curb your curiosity regarding certain people, given that asking too many questions could at best result in a stern rebuke or at worst, pointed violence. In that way, the new patronâs serene demeanor was disarming, yet could not entirely dispel the suspicion you kept close like an old friend. Before you could lose yourself in your silent perusal of his character any longer, the sound of his voice brings you back from your musings.Â
 âPunctual, good. I trust you know what we're here for, so let us begin. Have you brought the vial?â
 The glass sits cool near your skin, and with a quick reach from your pockets, you produce the item. The liquid inside was clear, smelling like nothing in particular; the vial itself was shaped like those typically used to store smelling salts; slightly darker in color. A blend of arsenic and atropa belladonna distillates, or so you have been told. The vial he had given you looked worn, your thumb could feel the scratches on the glass and an weathered old apothecary label that read an year and initials. For F.D, 1606.
 These details remain in your memory, but they are like some sort of eccentric joke; disjointed and without meaning. Fyodor takes the vial, inspecting it for a moment, before giving it back. âItâs not fullâŠbut it will be enough for our task. Our guest will be in the box owned by his family, number five if my memory serves me. It will be high enough for no one to see you. The poison will take about an hour to act, and by that time the after party would have begun. Escort him down to keep up appearances, then lead him to one of the greenrooms.

The feeling of bile in your throat that won't yet rise; no, that was reserved for after the body is buried. The danger makes you nauseous with anxiety, always has.

Fandom: BSD -Bungo Stray Dogs
TW: none? I think?Â
DAZAIÂ
I said it in my Soukoku fic, Dazai wouldnât know affection if it slapped him in the face ten timesÂ
Like he might realize when someone is showing interest in a sexual kindÂ
And he would probably notice if someone is crushing on himÂ
But like, if he likes them back?Â
NoÂ
Man is blindÂ
Heâs too busy panicking over read denying his own thoughts and feelings over you to analyze your actionsÂ
Heâs busy trying to think of anything but how pretty you are when he sees you -thank you very muchÂ
No joke though, this can be applied to pretty much anyone he cares aboutÂ
I mean he practically had a heart attack when Atsushi gave him flowersÂ
Anyways if he finally admits to himself that he likes you then I could see him trying to push you away if Iâm being brutally honestÂ
He doesnât want to lose you and he believes that anything he wants that he obtains, will be striped from him sooner or laterÂ
ButâŠ, in a perfect world he would eventually work up the courage to ask you outÂ
He would probably avoid directly asking you but this is Dazai so he could defiantly figure out some round-about way to askÂ
As for the relationship?Â
He would still be his teasing selfÂ
But he would tone it downÂ
Not because he doesnât want to annoy you but more so because he actually lets some of his masks down when alone with youÂ
He defiantly is very clingy to youÂ
Man has been touch starved for a long time and he fears attachment too much to be touchy with the ADA membersÂ
But now he has you, who not only tolerates him but has decided to stay with him?Â
Of course heâs not going to let this chance slip from his grasp before all this inevitably ends (heâs still in denial)Â
He never cared much for holidays like Christmas or ValentinesÂ
But now he wants to experience them, with youÂ
Heâs always thinking, plans and outcomes racing through his mind, what ifs and regrets Â
But like, if you ruffle his hair, his brain just stops.Â
Like no thoughts, he short circuitsÂ
When his brain returned to him the first time it happened he panickedÂ
Like, who gave you that amount of control?Â
After that first time he continued to try and get you to do it without askingÂ
He needed his brain to shut up every now and then, and now he has a reliable sourceÂ
Anyways, he likes to be a spoiled princessÂ
No one can change my mindÂ
For all his predictions he will never be able to predict your love and kindness for himÂ
CHUUYAÂ
Someone give this poor man a hugÂ
Ugh, my heartÂ
I canât imagine him wanting to date a normal citizen, too much of a riskÂ
So youâd probably have to work in the MafiaÂ
Even then, dating you would still be placing a huge target on youÂ
He would actually take you out on dates before asking you outÂ
Dates with him would be romanticÂ
Like dinner by candle light vibesÂ
Heâd be strategic on where you guys sitÂ
No need to be precarious on what you order, itâs all on himÂ
When he does ask you out he would be slightly flustered but it just makes him adorableÂ
Say yes, he doesnât deserve to be hurt any moreÂ
He would spoil you to no endÂ
If you want it, you can have itÂ
Youâre the only one allowed to call him shortÂ
He might get flustered from PDA in the start but will gradually warm up to itÂ
Nothing clingy, just hand holding, a hand around your waist, a quick kiss here or thereÂ
But if he sees some guy hitting on you?Â
Down right possessive, arm snug around your waist, shoulder to shoulderÂ
And if heâs drunk? Even worseÂ
Like heâs pulling you onto his lap just to make sure that asshole knows your takenÂ
If you do work in the mafia with him, he likes going on easier missions with youÂ
And while he knows that you can handle yourself just fine, he canât help but imagine something bad happening to you when he isnât there to save youÂ
Heâs lost too many people in his life, please, donât leave him as wellÂ
He loves when you rest your head on his chest and listen to his heartbeatÂ
And while you do that heâll run his fingers through your hairÂ
Chuuya loves to spoil you rotten as I stated, itâs his love languageÂ
So sometimes heâll just hand you his black card and let you go shopping with friends or somethingÂ
In fact, he encourages you to buy what you wantÂ
FYODORÂ
Honestly? Where do I start with him?Â
Like congratulations if you meet him and make it out aliveÂ
I donât know if I should congratulate him taking an interest in you thoughÂ
I feel like he believe that the interest he had in you was purely innocent curiosityÂ
But I also donât think he would try to delude himself for as long as Dazai doesÂ
Eventually he would notice that something was different about his interest for you than usualÂ
And while he would hesitate to put a name to it so quickly he would eventually give in after realizing there was no stoping this feeling from festering in himÂ
After coming to terms with his romantic? Feelings and interest in you he would definitely begin to manipulate you into feeling the same way for himÂ
If you donât already that isÂ
If you donât confess then heâll definitely do the same thing Dazai didÂ
And when you agree, he of course knew you would, he makes you move in with himÂ
He canât let his dearest other slip from his finger now can he?Â
I feel like before ever getting into a relationship, you would have been made aware of his âworkâ Â
Please, make sure the man eatsÂ
And takes his iron pillÂ
Nikolai is getting a little tired of that daily routine despite how much he loves to be around FyodorÂ
Anyways, dates arenât a very common thing in fact, very, very rareÂ
I mean⊠what did you expect?Â
Manâs a literal terroristÂ
That being said, from time to time heâll leave his âlairâ to spend time with youÂ
If you ask, heâll gladly play the cello for youÂ
If he snaps at you for âbothering him with pointless thingsâ when you bring him his iron pill or food just listenÂ
Donât bother him with such thingsÂ
And then same thing the next dayÂ
And after some 4 or 5 days heâll stumble from his roomÂ
Staggering as he tries not to collapse or faint from both his lack of energy and his iron deficiencyÂ
And when he walks into the kitchen trying to get the iron pill bottle open?Â
Let him stumble his way over to you and ask for help before you finally do as suchÂ
And he realizes just how dependent on you heâs becomeÂ
Itâll happen again eventuallyÂ
But as of that moment, itâll at least be awhile before the cycle repeatsÂ
(That last part of Fyodorâs was based upon some fanfic I read for him. I'm not sure who it was by, but Iâll tag it if and when I do find it.)Â
A/N: anyways, believe it or not, I love Chuuya just as much as I do Fyodor and DazaiÂ
Iâm just not as confident in his character. Since Iâm a lot like Dazai, he comes easy to me and by substitute, Fyodor does as wellÂ
But Chuuya? Despite him being one of my 5 favorites along with Dazai and Fyodor, I just donât resonate personally enough with him to write him really well
the things they do when they love you
‷ ft. dazai, chuuya, ranpo, fyodor, sigma, tecchou, jouno
dazai always needs to be touching you. he starts his day with his forehead against yours in the comfort of his futon, legs tangled together. he barely makes it through work by playing footsie with you under his desk, resisting the urge to shower you with love under kunikidaâs watchful eye. on the walk home, his hand lingers on the small of your back as he guides you through the crowded street, careful to not let anyone bump into you. and when itâs time to rest again, you strip him of his bandages and trace your fingertips along his forearms and wrists, trailing kisses down skin that havenât felt human touch in who knows how long, making up for all the little touches he gave you through the day.
chuuya spoils you rotten. he has money to spare, and has no problems adding your needs into his monthly budget, but he spoils you in other, non-financial ways too. he notices the bags under your eyes, and turns off your alarm so you can get an extra few minutes of sleep, keeping track of the time so you arenât late. he warms up your towels in the dryer while youâre in the shower so you wonât be cold when you get out. heâll watch that one show you like, as corny as it may be, because he wouldnât miss you laughing so prettily at the stupid jokes for the world.
ranpo compares everyone else to you. for someone who thought he was the greatest, he really loved to talk about how great you were. ây/nâs coffee tastes better.â he comments with a shrug to the waitress, who has no idea who you are. âthat would look so cute on y/n!â when yosano is showing him the new shirt she bought, much to her disdain. âyouâre so boring! why canât y/n be here instead.â he pouts in front of the witness heâs interviewing. there may or may not be a group of people in yokohama who unintentionally hate you.
fyodor asks what you think â not just about his work, about everything. he wants to pick your brain apart and analyze everything about you, from how you like your tea to your opinion on how greek philosophy influenced modern christianity. he wants to be the only one who knows you so well; it only seems fair when he feels so annoyingly vulnerable around you, knowing youâve captured his heart.
sigma lets his guard down around you. you never have an ulterior motive or try to read him. you ask questions about himself out of pure curiosity, and in return he tries to memorize everything he can about you. thereâs so much he doesnât know, and you teach him as much as you can; not so you can use him, but because you want him to experience life to the fullest. when you wrap your arms around him, letting him rest his head on top of yours, he canât help but think about how long heâs dreamed of this, and now he finally has it: his home.
tecchou looks at you, almost always. you canât ignore the tingly feeling of his eyes on you as youâre folding laundry or brushing your hair. when you ask him, you half expect him to blink and snap out of it, but he never does. âi like looking at you. youâre pretty.â is what he always says, gaze never straying from behind his messy bangs.
jouno listens to every part of you. while the extra noise that comes with his ability is bothersome, your sounds calm him. any irregularity in your heartbeat or your breathing makes a nervousness he isnât used to surge through his body. he canât help but feel prideful at the way your heartbeat is so calm when your fingers, so much softer than any fabric, brush against his own. he canât see you, but he can hear the blood rush to your cheeks and the smile in your voice when you talk to him about your day.
Analysis of the new official art of Fyodor for Volume 26
Itâs truly magnificent.
I am going to go heavy on the flowers because its meaning is very relevant for the following but donât worry, there are also many interesting things weâll analyse. Too many things to say. I am gonna try to stay focused and do something neat. Letâs talk first about the floral background, and the skulls which is honestly the first thing I that intrigued me.
The flowers we can see on the foreground and background are lilies.
âą The lilies are a symbol of purity and innocence, representing Fyodorâs ideal vision of a âpureâ world free of sinners.
They are additionally associated with the concept of new beginnings and fresh starts, renewal, which could refer to the creation of a new world free of sin. A new start for a pure humanity that Fyodor wishes to establish.
In numerology, lilies are often associated to 7 and 9 :
âą The number 7 is linked to spirituality, which aligns with the symbolism of lilies as a representation of purity, enlightenment, and divine connection. And it makes sense with Fyodorâs strong religious beliefs and that he seeks to bring people to a sinless life while fulfilling the will of god.
âą The number 9 is associated with completion, humanitarianism, and transformation, which complements the lilyâs symbolic role in representing renewal (such as resurrection in Christianity) and which also reminds of the nature of Fyodorâs ability to be brought back to life (like a new man) through the sacrifice of his killer.
Basically « humanitarianism » is the belief in promoting the welfare of others and taking action to alleviate human suffering. But weâll look at it on a spiritual view. Basically, in religion, humans suffer in sin : That, therefore, Fyodor is going to take it upon himself to « save » people.
Weâve also, throughout the manga, seen that Fyodor is a « people person » this fact along with this new official art also resonates with a saying of the REAL Fyodor Dostoyevsky : « Every man is not only responsible for everything he does but for everything everyone else does » but anyway I am digressing.
Lilies also signify a higher consciousness, acting as a bridge between the earthly and divine realms. Like Fyodor who acts like the right hand of god by bringing the godly virtue upon humans.
One single thing that is very important that I havenât said yet, is that the Lily is also associated to death since death itself could be associated to renewal. We could see lilies in churchyards, it is also offered to the family of someone deceased for memorial purposes.
So
HEAR ME OUT : We can also notice ONE SINGLE lily next to Fyodorâs hand on the foreground which could symbolise here Fyodorâs imminent or future death that awaits him OR we can understand that, since said flower is next to his hand, that itâs death and renewal that heâs giving/offering to the world.
âą The skulls: These morbid elements ground the viewer in the reality of his actionsâ consequences: a massacre and massive destruction to achieve his goal. The combination of lilies and skulls reflects the duality of his intentions, which he perceives as noble but are profoundly destructive.
Conclusion about the association of Lilies and skulls : What we could keep in mind is that the lilies strengthen the idea of purity or âmoral justificationâ that he attributes to himself in his quest, while the skulls remind us of the violence and sacrifices he is willing to make for his ideology.
The Cape and the Fur : Fyodorâs cape is often highlighted when he is represented in key moments of the manga, either by its proportion in the image or often by its movements. Even today, this is the case in this official art.
Fyodorâs black cape is lined with fur, emphasizes his role as an authoritarian and almost divine figure. The fur evokes a high status, a certain royalty, while black often symbolizes mystery (indeed, we know little to nothing about Fyodor) or even evil in collective imagery.
Fyodorâs expression and gaze : His calm, almost mocking expression highlights his disdain for his opponents and his sense of superiority. His half-closed eyes add an intriguing aura, as if he is silently judging those who look at him, aligning with his role as an antagonist.
Posture and Aura: His elegance and calmness highlight his role as a methodical and imperturbable antagonist, convinced of the righteousness of his actions. Indeed he has faced numerous people that opposed his ideas throughout his quest. The last one so far was Fukuzawa and at that, Fyodor stays imperturbable, confident in his beliefs.
The Ushanka in His Hands : More than a simple cultural symbol, it could reflect his connection to his roots or the idea of Russia, especially with the fact that heâs bringing it to his chest. Lols it made me think about the fact that he told Atsushi that he was going to go back « home », which, we could guess, would be « somewhere » in Russia as something he couldnât wait to do. Like at the end of oneâs day when you can just go back home after you finished work/ school etc.. this kind of relief and anticipation.
I donât know if it has its place here but I am just sharing my thought, make of it as you wish.
The general symbolism.
The image seems to reflect the paradox of the character. Fyodor views his plan as a quest for purity and perfection (lilies), yet he sows death (skulls) along the way. The ushanka and other Russian visual elements reinforce his identity and his conviction that he is acting for a higher ideal, even though his approach is cold and ruthless.
VoilĂ !
Thanks you for sticking around till the end. Do not hesitate to give me your thoughts on it (comments or dms).
It is my first time making an analysis, I was very much excited to make one and today was the day.

MINORS DNI
Fyodor Dostoyevsky x fem! reader
Trigger warning: angst (?), unhealthy relationship, implied intercourse.
This is +18 (minors donât read this, go away).
_____________________________________________
__________________________________________
You dumped him.. what a shame really.
He was thinking amused.
All these moments spent together.. for you to dump him easily like that. What a bad joke.
Do you really think you can dump me like that ?
I am the best partner she could ever have, sheâll find no one like me.
After another day of Fyodor working and not spearing you a glance, you got fed up. Pretty badly. Quit the house, came back 3 days later to announce him you no longer wanted to be in a relationship with someone so uncaring like him. How would you be called a couple if there were times where he wouldnât spare you a single glance in a period of three days ?!
If he loved me, he would take the time to pay some attention to me. I am his partner after all. Instead of that, heâs spending the whole day in front of his computer, working. You thought, mind reeling.
So you took your things and left. Your pride would never let you stay in a situation like this one. He didnât want to care ? Fine. You didnât have to put up with this. This wasnât the kind of relationship you wanted and you were determined to move forward, leaving the past behind you, for the light of the futur ahead.
The problem is that FyodorâŠwill not let you go.
According to his logic : youâre his and his only, he hasnât juged it necessary to end the relationship for such a trivial matter so heâs not willing to free you. Plus, he knew this was going to happen at some point, heâs far from stupid. He sensed you were tense as of late, that your patience was running thin and that he was upsetting you. Only, he decided to not put much effort into it and put his work first.
While you were chilling peacefully at your new apartment, you thought you were in secure and that he has let go of you. That you were back to being the master of your life and choices and that you did well. Little did you know that a certain demon is just behind the entrance of your house waiting for the right moment before opening your door.
Fyodor has a certain crush on you, thatâs precisely why he dated you in the first place. You were rebel, defiant, full of life and gracious, your intelligence was notable and were also ambitious, reasonable and strong. He wouldnât accept letting someone else have you. Even the idea of entering your shared bedroom and not finding you ready to cuddle him, was an unacceptable idea.
Thatâs why heâs here now, ready to jump on his prey.
Heâs missed you so much, your smell, your skin, your presence, your.. everything. He craved having a hold on you again. All he desires now is to shove you back in your shared apartment and chain you up so youâll never go away, even when he ignores you for the sake of his work.
Suddenly he hears a laugh coming from the other side of the door. You seem to be speaking on the phone with someone.
And though the sound of your laughter is pleasant, he couldnât ignore the vile ideas that crept up his mind.
You must be talking to your irking friends again..
Oh your sociability⊠if Fyodor could name ONE thing about your that irks him, it would be that.
You were enjoying too much the company of other people. Youâre so open that people are naturally drawn to you. And he dislikes that , he hates the stares that you get from your guys friends, he hates when they monopolised you or when someone texts you late at night and you making yourself so available for them. You should only be available for him.
Why should anybody else have access to you ? Youâre his thing and his thing alone. And he doesnât want to share HIS THING.
He was jealous, possessive, you name it. He knew in his somber mind that, if he let you, one of these friends of yours would jump onto the occasion to get closer to you in hopes of being with you. And heâll never allow such thing. Ever.
He was still waiting in front of the entrance of your new house. He waited for you to go take your nightly shower as you always do, so he could sneak inside the house without you noticing or trying to stop him.
He was carefully listening to whatâs happening inside the house when he finally heard your footsteps, a door opening, then closing.
You finally went to take a shower. It was now time for him to enter.
Tik tik tik.. BINGO.
The bobby pin opened the door.
He silently entered the house, checked around and saw your clothes on the couch. Those youâve just took off to wash yourself.
He was finally smelling your sent.
Then, an idea popped in his eccentric head.
He slowly took his clothes off in order to avoid making any sound, then, casually made his way to your bathroom as if he was in his own house. He, very, very silently entered your bathroom.
Because of the sound of water falling, you couldnât quite hear the door opening and closing and the fact you were facing the opposite direction of the door prevented you from seeing your « ex boyfriend » casually making his way to you with his usual smirk. Yeah, that crazy psychopathic smirk.
Only this time, his eyes were dark from the excitement of having you at his mercy not even one foot away from him.. vulnerable. He didnât waste any time before entering the Italian shower you were in hugging you from behind. Smelling you, touching you.. oh how he missed this. Itâs been only two weeks since you dumped him, and still, he was craving you. He was never a dependent man and heâs still not one but letâs say.. he was smitten by you.
Feeling suddenly someone against you scared you to death, you jumped and trembled from fear against him, until you heard a certain voice behind you, whispering you to calm down and kissing your skin.
- « Calm down itâs just me. » He said
As if he was supposed to be here, in the first place.
Freezing in place, you slowly turned your head to look at him, still hugging you from behind, nuzzling his face on your neck while slowly massaging your skin. Needless to say you were flabbergasted and you havenât calmed down much. Knowing him, you understood he was up to something but seeing him hug you showed that he wasnât there to harm you.
- « What are you doing here Fyodor ?! You broke into my house AND had the audacity to enter when I am showering ? » You angrily spat. You werenât going to let him disrespect you like this.
- « Well I am free to see my partner whenever I want to, Iâam I not ? » He added with a sultry voice and a mischievous smirk looking at you with a predatorâs eyes.
When you were going to object and say that you were no longer together, he beat you and added:
- « Plus, I donât like the fact of you taking decisions that concerns the both of us by yourself.. You want to split, but I donât. And, as I consider that you belong to me, I get to choose. I consider weâre still together. Moreover, youâll never find someone like me so why fight ? » He calmly added with a smirk and a fake innocent look.
You were flabbergasted in front of such a man. You wouldâve never thought that if you were to end the relationship, Fyodor would have that reaction. Meanwhile, he continued trailing kisses up your neck and jawline as if nothing was happening. When you snapped out of your shock you removed his hands from you and turned to properly face him. Facing him, you see him smirking and shamelessly looking down at your exposed body with darkened eyes and, of course this never-leaving smirk of his.. wider than usual. You felt⊠naked but thatâs what you were. You had to concentrate to not let your eyes roam down HIS body that was naked too.
Once you focused, you started :
- « Fyodor, in case you havenât noticed, I am a grown woman and you donât get to choose wether I stay with you or not. I ended the relationship for solid reasons and if you donât like it, then itâs your problem, shouldâve thought about it before. Now Iâll be asking you to get out of my house. » you simply said, looking at him straight in the eyes, mustering as much charisma as you could while facing such an insane man.
Oh god how he loved when you would stand your ground and defy him. A wild thing.. he was thinking. That was something new to him since everyone was scared of him in the outside. Seeing you like this is just so entertaining to him. Though he was looking at you like one would look at a little child uttering threats. He knew he could take you home anytime he wanted whether you liked it or not. So he was just pleased by what he had before him.
In an instant you found yourself sammed against the wet wall of your shower. Looking up, you saw Fyodor leaning towards you so your faces would be only an inch apart. Heâs looking at you in the eyes with an overwhelming intensity.. You suddenly felt very little (feeling accentuated by your height difference) and couldnât do anything besides maintaining the eye contact with him in order to put up a fight, just for your pride. It was your way of showing him that you werenât going to submit to him.
He loved it.
It made it all the more enjoyable to dominate you. Suddenly his lips locked against yours in a very deep, passionate kiss. You tried to push him off but he pinned your wrists against the wall, effectively forcing you to kiss him back.
It was at this moment you knew it was over for you.
Fyodor was the type to get what he wanted one way or another and you couldnât escape him. He would either use gentleness or force and he wasnât very patient. All of this was a message for you to understand. He was deciding, not you.
The problem is that you still had a weak spot for him.. itâs been only two weeks since you broke up with him and either way you didnât have the choice but to accept him again in your life.
ââââââââââââââââââââââ
After your.. rather steamy shower, you both got out of the bathroom. Not wasting anymore time, he demanded you to pack your things so you could go back home, to your shared apartment.
When you two came back, he turned towards you, with a deep stare, his violet eyes gleaming dangerously and said :
- « Next time you try to run away from me, when I find you, Iâll chain you to the bed. » He sinisterly warned.
You shuddered at his tone. Everything in his facial and body language suggested that he was extremely serious and that he wouldnât hesitate next time.
- « Understood ? » he added with a glare.
You curtly nodded, still shuddering.
He smirked.
- « Good little girl, now come .. » he grabbed your wrist and yanked you towards him.
You were stuck.

a/n - sorry i was gone guys my depression got really bad :p
he laid on the bed. the buzzing of the fan made him sick to his stomach. wrappers and clothes and cups and pages were thrown all about his room. his own mind held him back.
the days felt like a time paradox. the hours felt like torture. the minutes felt like hell. the seconds felt like death.
he needed something to hold on to. anything. just a tiny bit of hope. he needed something to pull him out of his own head. anything. just a hand to pull him out of that train wreck.
that was, until you came along.
the second his eyes fell upon you, it was almost like a weight was lifted off his shoulders. he could breathe. he could see a hopeful light.
for once in his life, the storm clouds dispersed and a rainbow began to shine through. it was like you were his saving grace.
years passed and tears passed. keeping the storm away was hard for him at times. but he held you close.
he held you tight in his arms, feeling like he had a home. somewhere and someone to lean on. someplace to go back to when things got hard. something he needed for so long.
he muttered softly: âi will never let you go.â
