= AkuHiguGin =  AkuHiguGin is the poly ship between Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Higuchi Ichiyo and Gin Akutagawa.

Canon
When Akutagawa was captured by enemies, Higuchi went to save him with the help of Gin and the other members of the Black Lizard. Gin was outside the room Akutagawa and Higuchi were in.

Later on, when Higuchi was driving home and saw Akutagawa out the window, she was excited to offer him a ride. Then she saw a girl by his side and became jealous, as she didn't know it was Gin (Higuchi didn't recognize her as Gin looks completely different in Port Mafia and on daily basis). In the end Higuchi discovers that the girl was Gin, and that Akutagawa and she were siblings, which leaves her relieved.

In the last chapter of the manga released so far (88), Higuchi meets Akutagawa 2 days after his death. He was transformed into a Dracula by Bram. Akutagawa bites Higuchi and turns her into a Dracula too. Then Higuchi finds Gin and also turns her into a Dracula.

Fanon
Higuchi's solo ships with Akutagawa and Gin are not the most popular, so neither is trisal, but Higuchi showed feelings for Akutagawa and many people like Higuchi and Gin's ship, so some people started shipping the three of them. The ship is often talked about on Twitter.

= 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.

= Ayamura =  Ayamura is the het ship between Yukito Ayatsuji and Mizuki Tsujimura.

Canon
Ayatsuji is known as the “Killer Detective”, and Tsujimura is an agent in the special investigation division of supernatural abilities, she was assigned to monitor him, whose name he calls “Ayatsuji-Sensei” as a form of respect. Ayatsuji prefers to work alone, but when a case is very difficult he is willing to accept help when the case is very difficult, and sometimes show that he likes Tsujimura's company.

The first time we see them interacting, Ayatsuji was solving a murder case in a church, shortly after Ayatsuji solved the case, Tsujimura goes to him to give him a sermon, and Ayatsuji tells him that “his time is as graceful as ever. ”. The culprit ran towards Tsujimura in an attempt to escape, and Ayatsuji shouted telling her to catch him because the man was the culprit, Tsujimura kicked him, grabbed the ground with his arm behind her, she tells the immobilized man that he to stay quiet and who has the right to remain silent and have a lawyer if he wants, Ayatsuji provokes her by saying that she has a predilection for these sayings. Tsujimura again gave him a sermon saying that the next time he goes alone he will be reported to his superiors, but Ayatsuji did not seem to care. Ayatsuji tells her to release the culprit, which leaves her confused and a little reluctant, but in the end she released him, the culprit ran out towards the exit, but the stained glass above broke and fell on the culprit, killing him.

The next day, Tsujimura goes to Ayatsuji's office, she calls him to let him know about her arrival, then he says she was late and asks him if he was getting a lecture from his superior, Tsujimura denies but his reaction to the surrender. But before Tsujimura enters the room, she says "Your mistake and I were born at the same time." Ayatsuji was reading a book and ignored Tsujimura's presence, making her angry and threatening him by saying that depending on the conduct can shoot him to death, Ayatsuji doesn't seem to care and says that he is a very effective threat, and tells him that he will respect her if she makes him a coffee, Tsujimura is surprised by the simple request and makes the coffee, but soon after doing so his record falls and she gets angry saying that she is not his maid. They start arguing about yesterday's case, and after a while of discussion, Tsujimura tells him that his oversight is a privilege of the government, and that he should be more grateful, Ayatsuji says that he is grateful, and that made Tsujimura blush, but she soon gets irritated again when he says he is thankful mainly for sending someone easy to deal with like her. Ayatsuji says that since she made the coffee she could put it on the table, when he drinks the coffee he says that it is not bad, and Tsujimura thanks, again blushing with the compliment.

Quotes
"Let's go, Tsujimura-kun... I'm only going to say this once, but if you do anything unnecessary, I am leaving you behind. Got it?"

- Ayatsuji to Tsujimura, home screen of their card in Bungou Stray Dogs: Tales of the Lost.

Fanon
Ayatsuji is not a very popular character in the fandom, because of him appearing only in the game and light novel, so Ayamura is rather overshadowed by its rival ship TsujiChuu. Despite this, some people believe that this ship could become canon, because of Tsujimura's hinted attraction to Ayatsuji.

= ChuuAki =  ChuuAki is the het ship between Chūya Nakahara and Akiko Yosano. AKA: Chuusano

Canon
Chuuya and Yosano met when Chuuya invades the place where the agency is hiding, so Yosano and Kenji go to him to face him. Chuuya complains that there are only two and Yosano says that if he is not satisfied it would be better to make an appointment. Yosano already knows that Chuuya has a reason to be there, so Chuuya asks him where the president is, and Yosano points to the security camera. After Chuuya talks to the president, Yosano threatens him saying that he will amputate his members and make him spit out his plans, Chuuya looks excited and says this is an incredible idea, and provokes her by saying that she can try. When Yosano goes to attack him from behind he quickly stands on the ceiling, so Yosano soon concludes that he is Nakahara Chuuya, the manipulator of gravity, making him angry because he concludes that it was Dazai who said that. Then Chuuya goes back to the ground, breaking it, and asks who will want to face gravity.

Later, Chuuya helps the Agency to escape from Tecchou and Jouno, among them was Yosano, but they do not get to interact.

They have some things in common, as they both like drinking a lot, have strong personalities and always enjoy a fight, appearing to have fun in them.

Fanon
ChuuAki is not as popular as other ships like Soukoku and Ranposano. Even so, the ship gained its followers and the fandom quite liked the performance of the two in the fight when they met.

It is the eleventh most popular for Chuuya and the third most popular for Yosano, but overall the ship is a rare pair in the fandom. Their similar personalities made the ship attract the attention of some people and made them the ship.

= 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.

= ChuuRan =  ChuuRan is the slash ship between Chūya Nakahara and Ranpo Edogawa. AKA: Chuunpo, RanChuu

Canon
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.

After the victory, the Guild threw a party on their yacht to celebrate, Ranpo is seen there eating a cake, Tanizaki goes to him to ask him about his escape from the romance, and Ranpo says he managed to decipher all five hundred killers, and in then he regrets not being able to say the same thing about Chuuya. Despite this meeting, it does not appear that Chuuya blamed him.

Dead Apple Not much interaction between them at dead apple. Fyodor, along with Dazai (just pretending) and Shibusawa, deliberately causing the fog incident to occur in Yokohama. If left unchecked, it will spread all over the place. Agatha, as a leader Order of clock tower, decided to send an ability user to scorch Yokohama to keep the mist from spreading again. However, it's canceled because Atsushi Nakajima and the others managed to stop the fog incident in time.

Fanon
Fyoagatha is a small ship within the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom, with Agatha only showing herself a few times and they rarely interact. The rival ship is Fyolai and Fyozai on Fyodor's end, while Agatha has no rival ships as she herself only appears once in the manga and Dead Apple.

= 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.

= KyouKenji =  KyouKenji is the het ship between Kenji Miyazawa and Kyouka Izumi. AKA: KyouKen, KyouJi, KenjiKyou

Canon
Kenji and Kyouka are the co-workers in the Armed Detective Agency. However, despite that, while we did see them alongside each other in the anime and manga, we only see them talking once.

Kyouka and Kenji are big opposites. Izumi is a very quiet person and not the type to smile much, while Miyazawa is really energetic and cheerful. She is more of a pessimist and he is a pure optimist. Albeit, they still have a few things in common. They're both genuine and quite compassionate. They care about the good of the Agency and treat it as their own family.

Interaction
Kyouka and Kenji are seen talking once to Tanizaki at a party on the Guild's yacht. Tanizaki and Kyouka say "this is bad", and Kenji asks what is bad. Tanizaki talks about them disobeying the president's direct orders not to fight the Port Mafia and says that they will be axed. Kenji doesn't understand and gets excited saying that he was never an axed before. Tanizaki says that he didn't understand, then Kyouka says that she understood and says that in her old service many people were axed, and that cleaning is painful afterwards. In this scene we can see how different Kenji and Kyouka are from each other.

Fanon

= LucyKyou =  LucyKyou is the femslash ship between Lucy Maud Montgomery and Kyouka Izumi. AKA: KyouLucy

Canon
Lucy and Kyouka met when Lucy started working in the cafeteria at the Armed Detective Agency, which is where Kyouka works.

Lucy tells Atsushi and is working there for revenge, but Kyouka didn’t care about their argument, interrupting them and saying that she wanted hot milk with sugar, Lucy gets angry and walks away, but shortly after she comes back holding an envelope, and saying that someone strange made an order at the agency, Atsushi went to get the envelope, but Lucy says that it is not for him, but for Kyouka, calling her "Chibi-Chan".

Lucy had the paper that said which of the boats they should look for, then shows Atsushi and Kyouka, Kyouka says that she doesn't trust her, and Lucy says that she doesn't want her trust, so Kyouka asks who she wants the trust from, making Lucy piss off again.

They return to the cafeteria, the documents they found had information on Kyouka's deceased parents, so Lucy pulls Atsushi out, and says there is him to be considerate and leave her alone for a while.

The next day, Lucy makes a coffee, Atsushi praises her saying that it tastes good, but Kyouka replies that it is normal, and that customers will not be satisfied if she tries to sell it for the same price as the manager's, Lucy gets angry, but later says it's true, wondering what you did wrong.

Bungou Stray Dogs Wan!
Although they don't seem to do very well in the canon universe, they have shown themselves to do very well in the spin-off series Bungou Stray Dogs Wan.

In one chapter, Kyouka spends a day working at the agency's cafeteria with Lucy, and Lucy is surprised to see that Kyouka was doing great, at the end of the day Kyouka greets Lucy saying that she hopes they can work together again, and Lucy blushes thanks her.

In another chapter, Lucy had a noose around her head, when Kyouka arrives, tells her that she was cute, making Lucy excited, so they go out walking together and talking.

Fanon
The ship is not as popular as Atsukyoka and AtsuLucy, but some have started to send them out as Lucy has shown romantic interests in Atsushi, and it is rumored that Kyouka might like him too.

Like Atsukyoka, many people don't like the shipping, because of their age difference, Lucy at 19 and Kyouka at 14, so people often change their age in fanfics.

= Montcott =  Montcott is the femslash ship between Lucy Maud Montgomery and Louisa May Alcott.

Canon
Louisa and Lucy first met several years before the actual story takes place, when Louisa scouted Lucy for the Guild. It is implied that Lucy holds a gratitude towards her for freeing her from the orphanage. Once, after Lucy messed up a mission with the Guild, Louisa covered up for her. After Lucy changed jobs, Louisa gave her a snow globe.

While Lucy was speaking with Kyōka Izumi and Atsushi Nakajima, she mentions how, during their time in the Guild, Louisa never spoke much to anyone with the exception of Francis Fitzgerald. She also talks about how Louisa had apparently never used her ability for herself, likely because she doesn't consider herself to be of any importance. Her expression is forlorn.

Lucy is 19 years old, while Louisa is 18, and they share the same height. Their birthdays are also, coincidentally, just one day apart; Lucy's on November 30th, and Louisa's on November 29th. This makes them both Sagittariuses. Their personalities are mostly opposites, because Lucy is loud and brash and has a lack of respect for the world, while Louisa is extremely timid and shy. They both have blue eyes and wear a dress, and both include black in their outfit color schemes.

Fanon
Montcott is a relatively unpopular ship in the fandom, due to the lack of interaction throughout the series. A much more popular ship for Lucy is AtsuLucy or LucyKyou. Despite this, there is a lot of fanart of the two already. On AO3, Montcott is Louisa's most written ship and Lucy's second most written ship, AtsuLucy being her most written. Stories portray them in a fluffy perspective, or them bonding in their time shared at the Guild.

After Sigma's defeat in the fight against Teruko, Sigma is falling off a building, so Atsushi jumps and grabs him. The rope that ties him to the log snaps but they fall on top of a box with the electric power installations. Atsushi gets up and tells him to be careful, saying that if he falls from there it will really be the end for them. Sigma notes that he is from the agency and asks why he saved him, to which Atsushi says that it should be clear as he intends to save the agency and to be able to do so he will need the page to which Sigma knows the whereabouts of.

Sigma asks 'Even if I knew... do you think I'd tell you up front?" to which Atsushi he does and presents Ango on the screen of the phone in a video call with them. Ango says he can get the information using his ability and Sigma tells him that he has already measures against it. To that, Ango threatens to torture him to get the information as he has no intentions of making allowances for the man who stabbed Cheif Taneda. Sigma slumps and expresses that he did not wish to do so and that it was just a threat. After that, Sigma tells Atsushi to ask him anything, as he was already tired, and that at the end of the day he still hasn't figured out why he was born, to which Atsushi gave him a worried look.

Ango once again speaks up and tells Atsushi the last task of his is to escort Sigma to the mainland, but before they can go, Nathaniel appears there, but instead of attacking Atsushi, he attacks Sigma.

Sigma tells him to let him go warning that he'll die too if he doesn't, but Atsushi screams saying that he can't let his last words be "I never understood what I was born for", Sigma says he's kind, but it's okay because he did what an ordinary person could, then he let go of Atsushi's hand and smiled at him as he fell.

In the end Atsushi was saved by Lucy and Sigma by Nikolai.

= 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."

Canon
The ship sailed mostly thanks to Chuuya and Mizuki sharing a scene in the Dead Apple Movie. It wasn't really long, but was enough for people to start shipping these two.

Dead Apple
Chuuya is standing in a plane almost ready to active his ability. When the hatch opens up, Tsujimura appears behind Nakahara. She asks him if he's okay with doing this after all. Chuuya looks at her and quickly recognizes Mizuki from the time they met during Gaiden, 1 year ago. Tsujimura tells Nakahara that going is dangerous and asks him why is he going to do it anyway. That's when Chuuya answers with his iconic quote - 'Do you know when it's all right to chicken out and go home? There is no such time'. After these words he jumps off the plane and the battle begins.

It's a really short moment, but we can clearly see in it the big respect they both have for each other. That powerful respect in that scene became a reason for the people to ship them.
