The Way It Started With Akutagawa Hunting Atsushi Down And Now He’s Demanding To Have Him Returned

Beware of the fearsome Port Mafia's White Reaper🐯

Chuuya and Atsushi play fighting but Akutagawa or Dazai thinks it's real and attacks Chuuya to protect Atsushi.

Atsushi says to him "We're just play fighting I don't need your protection"

And sends him to a corner so Akutagawa or Dazai slinks off sadly because he just wanted to protect him.

Dazai wants attention

Dazai... Atsushi can't see you, you need to speak up ToT

AU where the mayor of Gotham retires or dies or something, and the Batsiblings decide it would be funny if they ran for mayor. Except they don’t run as their civilian identities, but as they’re vigilante ones.

Dick won’t stop pouting because the people of Gotham refuse to vote for someone from Bludhaven, Tim is incredibly offended that he ends up tied with Dick for last place, Damian is smug that he beat Tim and indignant that people refuse to vote for him because he’s “a child”, and Jason preens but is internally panicking as more and more people vote for him. He wins by a landslide.

His first act as mayor is to increase Bruce Wayne’s taxes. His second is to ban Lex Luthor from entering the city. Someone tries to tell him it’s illegal to do that and he just… walks away. Eventually he starts to get a hang of this whole mayor thing and ends up working with Wayne Enterprises to strengthen housing and construction in poorer neighborhoods, he gives teachers raises, encourages trade school and alternative routes for henchmen, he adds diversity and inclusivity courses to public schools, safety programs and gas masks are made more accessible, and he reinforces the security and integrity of Arkham.

Of course there are still times where he misuses his power a little bit, but it’s never anything serious and most Gothamites watch in amusement as the scene unfolds.

Like just imagine:

Jason, dressed as RH: You’re not allowed in, you know what you did.

Dick, standing outside the Gates of Gotham, giving his best pouty expression in his Nightwing gear: Please, Hood! I promised Robin I would take him to the zoo after patrol!

Jason: You should’ve thought about that before you ate the last cookie Agent A made.

Dick, now wailing: This is abuse of power! Cruel and unusual punishment! I demand a lawyer!

Of course there are also the times when Jason decides to do something nice for his siblings, except it just ends up confusing the fuck out of everyone else in Gotham. On Dick’s birthday, he announces that there is now an Official Animal of Gotham, and most people are expecting a bat, or maybe a bird, or hell even a crocodile. Everyone except for Dick, Bruce, and Alfred are confused when it ends up being an elephant instead. Jason also decides to unveil plans for a Gotham Animal Sanctuary on the same exact day. Everyone is even more surprised when Nightwing jumps on Hood, entrapping him in an octopus hug as their mayor flails around trying to pry him off. It doesn’t work and Batman has to pick Dick up by the scruff of his neck to get him off.

There are also some of the odder, but somewhat sensible laws that are passed. Condiments are banned during the holidays and in schools (Condiment King could be heard sobbing throughout Gotham when this proclamation aired). No one is allowed to dress as clowns for any circumstance. The sewers are off limits to everyone except maintenance/construction workers, who must carry guns on them at all times. Lex Luthor’s birthday becomes Gotham’s Official “Fuck Lex Luthor Day”.

Then comes Jason’s most popular decision to date, he has The Joker reassessed mentally, and when he’s found as sane he pushes for the death penalty to be given (not that he really needed to - it was going in that direction already). He almost expects an angry lecture or fight with Bruce to occur, but Bruce just looks at him and says, quietly, “You’ve done a beautiful job, son, I couldn’t be more proud.”

Put that man in a minimum wage customer service job you surely won’t regret it

Concept: I just picture Atsushi fading away with him singing the Old therebefore song from the Ballad of Songbirds and snakes.

To Fyodor it’s this act of defiance in a move that already ruins his plans.

To Akutagawa though he knows what that song even if he can’t yet recall the person singing it.

And it fills him with dread.

Because it’s a funeral song.

It’s the song his sister sang the day they lost their friends in the slums that day. That day that began it all.

It’s the song Atsushi heard from the tree he hid behind to watch the funeral for the man he just saved.

Fyodor doesn’t know the signifance and yet Akutagawa feels it hit him like a train.

That it’s Atsushi.

That it’s Atsushi very well aware he might die.

And yet he carries on singing until his mouth is gone.

And yet he stares at them until the light in his eyes fades.

Because there’s a chance this isn’t the end.

You’re headed to heaven

That sweet old hereafter

And I’ve got one foot in the door

But before I can fly up

I’ve got some loose ends to tie up

Right here in the old therebefore

I’ll be along

When I’ve finished my song

When I’ve shut down the band

When I’ve played out my hand

When I’ve paid all my debts

When I have no regrets

Right here in the old therebefore

When nothing is left anymore

All but Akutagawa’s memories and a promise he refuses to break.

And maybe the song doesn’t get a chance to conclude and that’s all the hope Akutagawa clings too.

💔Please listen and help me. 💔

I am Mahmoud from Gaza💔, specifically Khan Yunis. I hope that no one will experience the suffering I am experiencing. After the collapse of the last ceasefire, Israel launched strangely manufactured and developed missiles. We are not human beings to them. Every moment we hear a sound. The planes, the sound of the bombing, and the crossings are all closed in an indescribable way. No one can bring a cup of water into Gaza🇵🇸. We are dying of hunger, bombing, and burning. Every minute, thousands of us are dying. The least you can do is donate so that we eat food that is not even good.Prices here are very expensive and things are more dangerous than you expect💔. You do not know the extent of what we are suffering. We are hungry and we are losing our families and loved ones at every moment. Please do not leave me like this. Help and donate as much as you can. I deserve a better life.
