Hello! I have returned with another fic, this time diving into the world of BSD featuring the genius detective himself, Ranpo Edogawa. ( I do want to clarify that your character does have a name and appearance/ look already established in the story; however, if you do not like it, then feel free to imagine yourself differently. It's just easier for me to write the story with a character already established, kind of like a placeholder.) Kumiko Amajiki's / y/n's life has been one huge unfolding story full of mystery, intrigue, philosophy, plot twists, drama, and possibly now romance? Ever since Ranpo Edogawa was introduced into your story, you were no longer reading about adventures and thrills but were now living them out for yourself. But not all stories end happily, and you, more than anyone else, know all too well that the smallest alteration can ruin a story's ending for good. Will you and Ranpo get to live happily ever after? Will Ranpo finally learn to appreciate the beauty in the process, or skip to the end of your story together as partners at the ADA, only to realize not even a genius can change a story once the ink is dry? I want to clarify that I am not the original author of Bungo Stray Dogs, and in no way is my OC a canon character to the original story of BSD; therefore, this story is not canon. All rights are reserved to Kafka Asagiri, the original author of BSD, and to the publishers as well.
