What If Atsushi Met Chuuya Instead Of Dazai??

IM MAKING A BSD COLLAGE AUUUUUUU

This is just a dorm room 4 Atsushi and Akutagawa and they are going to be the main characters of this au 😼 (yes it will be shin Soukoku) BE PREPARED 😈🔥💯 (also they have matching plushies the one with Rashomon is atsushi’s and the one with the tiger is Akutagawa’s)

hc that dazai sleeps best when he’s not alone

atsushi has noticed that anytime he’s over at dazai’s dorm he seems a bit hesitant to let him go home, he’ll keep joking abt how dangerous it’d b for atsushi to leave so late despite them being a wall away, someway or the other he seems to be stalling atsushis departure. atsushi always saw dazai as a more secretive person so he doesn’t expect it out of him and thinks he’s just kidding around but the one time he does stay he notices how relaxed dazai looks, not the kind of lazy relaxation he exhibits when he’s ignoring his work at the office or listening to music but different. like it isn’t just his body that’s relaxed but his mind as well he looks much more at ease now that atsushi has agreed to stay

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.

The thing is Fyodor could’ve had Atsushi in his grasp before the series even began.

That’s without question no one else knew who or where Atsushi was until he showed up in Yokohama at 18 years old. While Fyodor has known about Atsushi, his ability and his location at minimum since he was 12. Because that’s when Fyodor sends Shibusawa to him.

And even when Fyodor is actively having Atsushi hunted down for through things like his bounty and the Guild’s incineration plot, it feels more like a test that anything else. It’s like he’s continuing where Shibusawa left off, setting these events and observing how Atsushi will fare through them.

Ironically in a way similar to a cat playing with it’s pray.

Like I don’t think for 5 minutes that Nathaniel Hawthorne showing up on the sky casino was supposed to be a legitimate threat. Especially knowing Lucy was there and allowing himself to get caught without even fighting back.

But I don’t think he was just randomly there, he had a purpose and it was to tie a string of blood to Atsushi. In order to keep a track of him.

A moment that stands out to me is during the Hunting dogs arc when Nikolai’s fighting Atsushi and tells him ‘you’re not one of the murder targets." Because it implies to me that Atsushi’s role is different to everyone else’s. He should be with the Agency, getting framed and then going on the run but he’s not. Atsushi is down underground fighting Nikolai who just leaves him there.

And yeah Kyouka shows up to help him but the people who came to inspect that area weren’t guards or soilders but the forensics team. Meaning that Atsushi wasn’t in any real danger and for a plot like this where the Agency should have nowhere safe left to go to that is rather odd.

The only exception to this I feel is the stuff with Fukuchi because he did originally plan to kill Atsushi. The only reason he didn’t was because Akutugawa showed up but even then he tried to have him kill Atsushi. Only reason Fukuchi didn’t go after Atsushi after was because it would’ve complicated the timeline.

Feels like an outlier because all Fyodor’s plans have involved trying to capture Atsushi. Even the Guild incineration plot had them keep him safe as a prisoner. And well, Fyodor kinda needs Atsushi alive for his plans.

Hell Fyodor was in the alleyway Atsushi was walking into in the Cannablism arc. You see him turn around at hearing Atsushi’s voice and he leaves to let Atsushi discover Dazai’s body. He just leaves him alone and carries on with his plan.

All of this just reads as "I need you but not yet." There’s a plan for Atsushi alright, there’s been one going for a long time but it hasn’t come to fruition yet. Much like how the book has specific parameters of when it can be used and its conditions, Fyodor is waiting until everything is put in place to enact his grand plan.

One in which Atsushi will be the centrepiece.

Atsushi and Piano man related headcannon

(@jisforj55 asked for more, had a fun idea so an attempt was made. This is just my take on it)

"Oh! You guys are gonna wanna hear this!" Called Albatross, walking over with Atsushi on his shoulders. "Oh? Are you going to admit to cheating at billiards earlier?" Asked Lippmann with a smirk.

"I have no idea what you’re talking about" said Albatross feigning confusion. He picked up Atsushi and gently set him on his feet before him.

"Our little goose has made a wonderful discovery and he’d like to share it with you all" he explained. Atsushi ducked his head shyly now everyone’s attention was on him.

Albatross ruffled his hair and gave him double thumbs up "you’ve got this!" He cheered.

Atsushi, with renewed confidence looked up at his uncle, who like everyone else had stopped what they were doing to listen. "You’re a superhero" said Atsushi, smiling brightly.

The flags were stunned (cept Albatross) and none more so than Piano man. He’d been called many things in his life but that was certainly a new one.

"Why do you think that, Atsushi?" He asked, curiously. "Chuuya was showing me a comic yesterday. It was about a superhero but I didn’t what that was so he told me. He said they save people who are scared and hurt and have cool powers.

And you saved me when the bad people got me. You help me when I’m scared and you have cool powers." Explained Atsushi, in that earnest way only children seemed to manage.

And not a second later was he pulled into Piano man’s arms into a warm hug. "Oh Atsushi" how could one so kind exist in a world so cruel and cold. "I am honoured to be your superhero" he was something far far more sinister to the rest of the world.

But here in Old World he was a colleague, a friend and an uncle. He would do anything for them. And if his little adorable nephew thought his uncle was a superhero. Than Piano man would be his superhero.

It was as simple as that.

Atsushi smiled, beckoning his uncle closer so he could whisper something to him.

Which he did, in a slightly quieter voice than usual so suffice to say everyone heard it. "It’s also because you get called Piano Man. Like superman but with piano’s."

Piano man chuckled, as did the others. "A keen observation, I’d expect nothing less of my little forger in the making."

"Hey, would that make a superhero too, little star?" Asked Lippman, smiling delightfully when Atsushi nodded.

(Chuuya walks in, hears Lippman call himself the amazing super Lippmann, while wearing a mask and cape and promptly walks back out.)
