Bungou Stray Dogs/Ships

AlbaDoc
 AlbaDoc is the slash ship between Albatross and Doc. AKA: DocAlba, DocTross, Albatrodoc, Docatross

Canon
Albatross and Doc were first introduced in Stormbringer, being two members of The Flags. They were said to be very close to each other, Albatross even trying to save Doc over himself in the accident involved with the murder of The Flags.

Fanon
Albatross and Doc were around the same age, so we can safely assume that they bonded together with any similar interests they might’ve had. A lot of self sacrifice can be described with them, surrounding both of their deaths, which makes it more likely that they were in fact really close with each other. The Flags are shown to have a strong bond; seeing that they went behind Mori Ogai’s back to aid Chuuya into finding out his origin. This could also be applied to any of the others. Doc and Albatross might’ve broken a few rules or defied the boss to help out one another, showing that they have a strong friendship.

ChuuAtsu
 ChuuAtsu is the slash ship between Atsushi Nakajima and Chuuya Nakahara. AKA: NakaNaka, AtsuChuu

Canon
Atsushi and Chuuya have never met in the canon universe. They are both in competing agencies, Atsushi in the Armed Detective Agency and Chuuya in the Port Mafia.

The characters don't have many similarities - Atsushi and Chuuya are rather big opposites. However, one thing they do have in common is the fact that both of them can say they really know Dazai quite well, which is pretty rare.

When Atsushi falls from the Moby Dick during his escape in the second season, the first thing he sees is Chuuya directing the Port Mafia in keeping the city safe from Q's curse, making Atsushi realize that even the Port Mafia has some good in them.

Bungou Stray Dogs Wan!
While not having any interaction in the canon universe, they have several interactions in the spin-off series.

During the preschool chapter, Chuuya eggs on Atsushi, saying Atsushi is too scared of him to tease him, which Atsushi responds by saying even though he's older Atsushi is still taller than him. This annoys Chuuya, who says he'll be tall in the future because he drinks milk, and saying if Atsushi drinks it that he can grow as well.

Another time they meet is when Chuuya is helping an elderly lady with her heavy baggage, hoping no one sees him. However, Atsushi is out getting groceries when he sees him, and is shocked to see Chuuya helping out an elderly woman. Atsushi begins to walk away and Chuuya yells at him, saying he's misreading the situation. Atsushi smiles and says he understands that even though the mafia is scary, there are still some people who are really kind, which only frustrates Chuuya more.

Fanon
The ship became popular in spite of the fact that neither of the two characters has met each other in canon. The fandom thinks they could have good chemistry if they did meet, since they both have to deal with Dazai and, even though Chuuya doesn't show it as often, they are both very empathetic people.

Despite being one of the rarepairs in the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom, it has a lot of content on sites such as Archive of Our Own and Tumblr. It is a parallel with DazAku, as it involves characters from the most popular duo Soukoku and Shin Soukoku.

Chuuya and Ranpo are from rival agencies, interaction between them is rare.

They met when Chuuya invaded the place where the agency was hiding to send a message to the president about the use of interns as bait so that the agency could fight against guild officials, Fukuzawa and Ranpo respond to Chuuya through security cameras instead. to speak to him in person, so Chuuya didn’t see Ranpo’s appearance. Ranpo when before asking a question he provokes Chuuya by calling him "Mr. Fancy Hat", which left Chuuya insecure wondering if that was what he looked like.

They are later seen interacting when the armed detective agency was attacking the port mafia in an attempt to kill Mori to save Fukuzawa. Chuuya orders the Mafia to defend Mori with their lives until he reaches the scene. But before Chuuya leaves, Ranpo calls him and confronts him saying he can't let Chuuya go, as that would decrease the agency's chances of victory, Chuuya seems merciful saying that even though he is the axis of the agency, he does not have the fighting power, which implies that he recognizes how much the agency idolizes Ranpo, but Ranpo teased him and mocked him by reminding him that he had already lost to Dazai, making Chuuya very angry and causing a small explosion, Chuuya then asks him if he wants to play against gravity, and Ranpo responds by saying that nothing is impossible for a great detective. Chuuya attacks him mercilessly with full force, and Ranpo put in front of one of Poe's novels, in which he leaves Chuuya's arm, Ranpo tells him that it was a romance where there were no skills, and that the only way to get out was to discover them all. the five hundred killers that were in it, then they are soon teleported into the romance, it was not shown what happened while they were inside.

Despite this meeting, it does not appear that Chuuya blamed him.

Trivia

 * Even though they were both from outside of Japan, they were from different countries.

KuniChuu
 KuniChuu is the slash ship between Doppo Kunikida and Chūya Nakahara. AKA: KunikiChuu

Canon
Kunikida and Chuuya met when Chuuya helps the Armed Detective Agency escape from the Hunting Dogs. Kunikida says he never expected the Mafia to save the Agency. Chuuya denies saying that the bosses made an exchange, where the price was for one of the Agency's members to become the Mafia member. After a time of discussion, Tecchou attacks them and Kunikida leaps from the elicopter to save the others.

The meeting between the two was very short, so neither of them seemed to have any opinion about the other.

Kunikida and Chuuya are quite similar at some points - both are easily irritated and are therefore often provoked by Dazai. Yosano had already heard of Chuuya from Dazai before meeting him, so Dazai probably talked about Chuuya to Kunikida too. Both of them - Doppo and Chuuya - take their jobs seriously, although they are not so similar on the battlefield, as Kunikida tends to be very serious, while Chuuya appears to have a lot of fun in a fight. Both are members of the most known and respected associations.

Another thing the two have in common is their age - both are 22 years old, despite having a big difference in height - Chuuya with 1,60 and Kunikida with 1,89.

Fanon
KuniChuu is not as popular as Soukoku and Kunikidazai, but it is still quite popular. Their relationships with Dazai was what made some people ship them.

Some people prefer their friend ship to the romantic ship, and believe that they would get along very well because of mutual anger towards Dazai, while others believe that there would be something more than friendship between them. However, most people agree that if they talked with each other more and under different circumstances, they would get along well.

Variations

 * KuniDaChuu refers to the ship between Chuuya, Kunikida and Osamu Dazai

Souheki
 Souheki is the slash ship between Osamu Dazai and Ranpo Edogawa. AKA: Dazairanpo, Dazanpo, Ranzai

Canon
Hailed as the Agency's sharpest detectives (双璧, Sōheki?, lit. "Double Jade"), Dazai and Ranpo are the organization's intellectual groups. Dazai first met Ranpo as a newcomer in the Agency, during which he witnessed Ranpo's Super Deduction firsthand, only to find out that Ranpo is a non-ability user after touching his hair while deducing and failing to nullify it. This earned Dazai's great respect towards Ranpo's genius intellectual prowess and pure deduction ability, which also shocked Kunikida after finding out about it for the first time through Dazai. As a result, Dazai and the rest of the Agency members respect Ranpo despite the way he behaves in the Agency. Later on, Dazai's and Ranpo's collaboration are explicitly shown while planning the Moby Dick infiltration. Their conversation, through Atsushi's perspective, merely consisted of audibly vague ideas, though the both of them seem to have a mutual thought process and understanding as to how they shall go about their scheme, which ultimately led to their success.

This unseen dynamic apparently persists in various instances, such as after the Yokohama fog incident, specifically when Ranpo returns back to reality and ambiguously calls out to Dazai while musing on the events he predictably deduced. In one of their cases on Standard Island, Dazai made sure to contact and update Ranpo after sensing in advance that the agents would be in trouble, hence leaving the rest of the matter in Ranpo's hands and eventually saving the Agency members and many people on the island.

Quotes
"He’s like a legendary detective character in a novel - no, for the character’s book ends when the case is solved. Then I don’t think any fictional character could hold a candle to Ranpo’s powers of observation which let him find the bomb without going to the crime scene or meeting the suspect."

- Dazai Osamu

Fanon
Ranpo is one of the few people that Dazai respects. Soukoku and Ranpoe commonly rival this ship.
