This is so dumb but…
Fyodor: I’m so hungry I could eat Atsushi Nakajima.

Akutagawa:…How dare you!
NEW CHARACTER ALERT — UEDA AKINARI &
Bungou Stray Dogs - chapter 123
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.”
Shin Soukoku where it’s Atsushi seeing the best in others and Akutagawa berating him for being naive.
Simply because those others include him and Akutagawa can’t see what Atsushi’s sees in him.
Beware of the fearsome Port Mafia's White Reaper🐯
Orange cat Atsushi AU
Aka Atsushi is part orange tiger instead of white and thus exhibits orange cat behaviours
Atsushi spends his birthday completely ignoring the actual gifts he was given. To instead play around in a random cardboard box Dazai found outside by the bins.
He did jump like a foot in the air when they yelled surprise. But he did come back down when Kyouka told him Junichiro baked a cake.
Atsushi’s so in awe with everything, looking around the room and the decorations with the biggest widest eyes.
He tried to eat a balloon…several balloons.
Affectionately headbutts everyone in the shoulder in thanks.
Atsushi does end up falling asleep mid way through it nestle inside a large box on the floor beside Dazai and Kyouka
The Agency call it a success.
What I think will happen in the next chapter
