Odasaku, Sasaki, and the orphanage headmaster are all buried in the same cemetery.
So Kunikida, Atsushi, and Dazai all run into each other grave visiting regularly and politely pretend they don’t. They never acknowledge the meaning behind the bouquets brought, even if all of them know the others know flower language. They never acknowledge the tear streaks down Atsushi’s face, or the solemn look on Kunikida’s. Atsushi never points out how the scent of whiskey is always a bit stronger on Dazai’s coat. They never acknowledge the location of their accidental meetings.
Sometimes Kunikida might offer to take them to get food, or Atsushi will offer a random hard candy from his pocket, on colder days Dazai might lend his coat. None of them are really themselves when faced with grief, and none of them will to hold it against each other.
Concept: The Dark Era except it’s Akutagawa, Atsushi and Kyouka taking the roles of the Buraiha trio (Dazai, Odasaku and Ango.)
Ryuunosuke Akutagawa was a mysterious member of the Armed Detective Agency.
His past was not known of for years but he had once been a prominent member of the Port Mafia. He had been known by many titles, such as the Hellhound.
Akutagawa was cruel. He was cold and he was never one to leave a witness alive.
And yet that man was not the one the Agency knew. They knew a rather blunt man who drank sugary teas, was a diligent worker. And who despite his tempered nature had a soft spot for children.
A man that never hesitated to strike but would never dare kill
For Akutagawa has long since that life behind him because of the words of an old friend.
Atsushi Nakajima was an enigma to all who ever met him.
A man who had once been a high profile and deadly assassin who out of nowhere stopped. He lived his life rescuing orphans from lives similar to his own and granting them safe homes.
He was a light that shone so brightly in the darkness.
He never should’ve killed again.
Kyouka Izumi was a simple informant.
It was a job not for the faint of heart but Kyouka thrived within it. She never flinched at even the most cruel of crimes. But she had the habit of wring her reports much like one would a story.
Despite her seemingly cold exterior she was a warm person who strongly believed people should be remembered as more than just numbers.
What no none had known was that Kyouka’s parents had been trained government spies. They had been assassinated right before her eyes and when their superiors came for the bodies.
They took her with them and she became their successor.
Maybe it was always supposed to end this way.
With Atsushi defending Kyouka’s innocence only to learn the truth with her betrayal.
With Akutagawa watching Atsushi slip through his fingers when the kids were killed before his eyes.
Yet still caring about Kyouka that he had her run rather then kill her.
That they still meet up to discuss plans with a distance that they’d never had before.
With Mori manipulating Atsushi’s loss knowing that he’d choose to save their lives over his own.
The silver bullets lodged in his chest as Akutagawa raced towards him begging him to hold on.
He never did get to write that book of his.
Akutagawa having to watch Atsushi get struck down, not only after coming back to life and finally getting his memories back, but after months of fighting against and alongside Atsushi and coming to see him as near indestructible and someone who bounces back as “an even more problematic foe” only for Atsushi to sacrifice himself and take for all Akutagawa knows is a permanent killing blow
I like to hc that some kids in the Orphanage, maybe the older ones, were kind to Atsushi.
That they'd take the fall if they could knowing they'd get off way easier than him.
They all hate that they can recognise Atsushi from his screams alone.
They were warned, of course they were from the Headmaster and other staff.
That boy is no good.
But they'd all nod politely and shake their heads once alone.
Because the Headmaster was wrong.
Atsushi was a sweet kid. They'd make room for him to sit down, slipping a piece of bread into his shaking hands.
The staff never bothered to teach him even though they made him sit in all the lessons.
These kids would cobble their notes together and teach him how to read and write.
They were the only people to ever see his smile, to hear him laugh.
Those small moments of light kept Atsushi going.
And the day those kids left, having aged out the system they would gave him their numbers, sneak letters to him which kept him going.
Unfortunately because the Headmaster had adopted Atsushi, they couldn't take him with them which they would all regret.
But they'd never realise just how much they helped Atsushi.
The first thing he did when Dazai gave him his phone was call them.
Atsushi who tears up in suprise snd and overhelming relief and joy when every single one of them remember his name.
Atsushi remembers the abuse of the Orphanage, the cruelty of the Headmaster that's scarred him in ways even Byakko can't heal.
But he also remembers the kids who showed him kindness.
The people who looked at him and saw he was worth saving, worth love and support.
And Atsushi vowed he'd be that person to others, be the light in their darkness.
Because no one deserved to suffer alone.
i feel like atsushi would have had many moments like this as a new recruit,,
Concept: Kouyou growing fond over Atsushi.
Kouyou worries about Kyouka living in the light without her.
The Agency were an odd bunch and well Dazai was as unreadable as ever. But that tiger boy, as much as she’d rather not admit it Kouyou knows he’d take care of her girl.
The way Kyouka flocks him without hesitation and stands taller when he’s near. And that look in his eye when he defended her honour so brazenly…
Well it felt rather familiar.
So maybe when she and Kyouka cross paths Kouyou inquires, casually of her fellow team mates.
She doesn’t need to drop his name for there was no need. He was the first Kyouka named with that careful bright smile of hers. One Kouyou found herself relieved to see as Kyouka happily talked about the day she’d spent with him.
The weretiger always approached Kouyou with caution but he was civil enough. Atsushi seemed all for the world like a meek little thing but there was fire in those eyes.
And he gave as good as he got.
An entertaining quality of his that she loved to draw out. To see the sharp claws of the beast but in a way that never bought either of them harm.
They’re fights often carried conversations, usually about Kyouka but as time went on she’d fire the questions back on him.
Atsushi would be dodging Golden Demon’s strikes while talking about some case he’d taken. And Kouyou’s concentration didn’t waver as she listened.
Offering her own words of advice that to her delight he’d take note of.
