I saw this on Instagram and honestly I can't stop laughing
Actually we need more appreciation for the Atsushi and Kunikida dynamic because I feel like so much of it happens off-panel/offscreen
While Dazai was the one to bring Atsushi into the Agency and Fukuzawa the one to let him join, it was Kunikida who just started treating Atsushi like another employee - it was this that had Atsushi abruptly realizing he was actually wanted by the Agency and that they weren't just going to kick him out. Kunikida was the one who had Atsushi coming to that realization and tearing up over it (however unintentional it was on Kunikida's part hjghjbg).
But then there's little bits that show that Kunikida trains Atsushi in combat; he's blunt in his criticisms, but he's not cruel. What's more, Kunikida does not treat Atsushi like he is going to break, nor as someone to be afraid of. He is training him so he can contribute the same amount as any Agency member - which further affirms that Atsushi is wanted and needed with this group.
I bet it was also Kunikida who actually showed him how to do things around the office. Maybe Tanizaki did a bit too, but Kunikida is a more senior member and probably oversaw a lot of Atsushi's work at the beginning at least. Again, this is someone taking the time to teach Atsushi, something he never would've had before. And really, so long as Atsushi is putting in his full effort (which he would of course), Kunikida isn't the type to berate him for a mistake. Maybe he'd be a little irritated if it put him behind but like. Even that base mentorship has got to mean a lot to Atsushi.
It's just. There's got to be more to their dynamic we haven't seen because Atsushi was so so happy to see that the Agency members were safe, but he also explicitly felt relieved enough and comfortable enough to take a flying leap at Kunikida to tackle hug the man and that really says a lot to me.
The best part is that if Atsushi were to ever try to convey just how much Kunikida has done for him, Kunikida would probably be totally baffled and have no clue what he's even talking about because... Kunikida was literally just being himself. But being himself is what's really important to Atsushi, and to a lot of people in the Agency, I think.

Swear to god “Life Happens” has ruined me For any other Batman fanfics.... I cannot find one as good as yours. So if you have any recommendations, sending them my way is the least you could do for ruining me... 💕💕💕
LOL Oh my goddddd I don’t even know what to say to that. Thank you. <3 <3
Here are some WIP fics that get updated regularly that I’m absolutely obsessed with.
The Birds Who Smile By Raberba_girl
I am, no joke, obsessed with this story. She calls it a ‘rough draft’ and it can be inconsistent at points because of it, but those moments are very minor and over all it’s amazing. It follows the recovery of the dark robins from Dark Knights: Metal, which I’ll admit I’ve never read, but this story is just incredible.
Robins and Other Flightless Birds by Ionaperidot
This story is about a Bruce from a universe where he truly works alone. But he came into contact with another Bruce and realized that he really liked kids, so he basically just kidnaps one of each of his kids from all different universes where, for whatever reason, their Bruce didn’t have them. It’s super cute. The only thing I wish about this story was that it was longer. haha
Multiversal Constant by Echoes_01
Damian and Jon get stuck in the Young Justice universe and get tangled up with the League of Assassins. Super cute, angsty. There’s a lot of relationship building between Young Justice Clark and Jon and Conner, and between Bruce and Dick and Damian. Baby Damian and Cass get introduced into the Young Justice World toward the end.
As for completed works, there are a handful I’ve read multiple times each.
Confidence Lost by C_R_Scott
This is a White Collar x Batman crossover. I’ll admit, I had never heard of White Collar, but this has a podfic for it, so I listened to it anyway one day at work and boy am I glad. I’ve listened to it 4 or 5 times and read it once. This story actually influenced Life Happens quite a bit, I think, with the character “Kate” and “Peter,” at least. Anyway. It’s about Tim going missing and ending up as the main character of White Collar, a dude who steals artwork and replaces them with fakes but got caught by the FBI so now he works for them. Damian and Dick find him in NYC like 7 years after he went missing and then chaos ensues. It’s really fascinating and has an awesome climax. Great story.
A Good Place by @lemonadegarden
This was one of the first fan fiction pieces I read. It’s about Damian going back in time and meeting Bruce just before the man takes in Dick. It’s cute and angsty.
Yesterday’s Voices also by Lemonade_Garden
This is about Bruce losing his memory and thinking he’s five years younger, and dad to just a cute smol Jason and a Dick who hates him. Instead, he gets back to the cave to find Damian, Cass, Steph, etc. Since he hasn’t suffered Jason’s death yet, he’s better at showing his emotions and it freaks the younger boys out. It’s great.
So I’m noticing a pattern in the works I like…. They all involve time travel, universe travel, or memory loss of some sort.
Ha.
Anyway. That’s totally not gonna be the plot of my next story. Nope, not at all.
It’ll be brainwashing.
OH SPEAKING OF
Juneberries by @mishaberrywrites
Tim is kidnapped and brainwashed, and Damian feels guilty about it and goes after him and stages a rescue attempt. It’s angsty and heartbreaking and detailed and everything I want in a story.
Since a lovely anon asked for the nighttime version of this routine, here it is!
Now we all have different bedtimes and I have no idea what is actually an ideal time to go to bed, so this routine is based on my usual timings, obviously if they don’t match up with yours feel free to modify!
Our goal is to get in quality time, just made sure you get something done!
Follow the routine given below for 30 days (no issues if you miss, I’m gonna miss somedays too)

Study session #1 : 9:30pm to 10:15pm
Mini break : 10:15pm to 10:25pm

Final study session : 11:05pm to 11:30pm
Bedtime :11:30pm to 7:30am?
I get that this might get very late for some, so here’s another plan for evening, but this may clash with your work schedule so pick whatever you want!

Thanks, hope you enjoy this one!

this is my first deep dive into dramione and i wanted to share these amazing series i’ve read in the last few months. no particular rank or order to this list. enjoy!!!
Manacled - @senlinyu / @senlinyuwrites if you’ve delved into Dramione at all, you’ve most likely heard of this incredible dark epic. it takes place in a Voldermort Wins!AU and takes inspiration from the Handmaiden’s Tale about population control in this new frightful era of the Wizarding World. be prepared for all 77 chapters to consume you in this tale of love, loss and hope in between.
+ emphasis on dark epic. the writer themselves have acknowledged that with such dark and heavy themes, there are large aspects of the story that may be triggering for some people and therefore manacled might not be the fic for you - and that’s totally okay! (what’s important is that you take care of yourself) as always, read the tags and know your limits. + senlinyu is a phenomenal writer, often collaborates with @elithien, pairing their artistry together. @avendell is also another great digital artist who has worked closely with senlinyu, even creating multiple companion art pieces for Manacled (but try not to let the art spoil some parts of the fic for you!!!) + senlinyu has soo many Dramione works, just follow them & dive into it!
Bone Mortar - @mightbewriting enemies to lovers is a given in everything i’m about to talk about in this post, but this short and sweet series takes us to a modern!au setting of academia. what’s not to love about these two professors who are about to go head to head over a little administrative conflict at the start of the new school year?

okay but the sibling energy
Marc (Oldest)
-weight of the world on his shoulders, is trying to be Responsible
-mom (khonshu) makes him do all the work
-trying his best to keep everyone’s lives separate but failing because the other two won’t listen
Jake (Middle)
-everyone kind of forgets he’s there till he acts out
-“Marc is married and Steven is a vegan… I’m gonna ask Dylan out on a date to a steakhouse :D”
-chaotic energy, interrupts the other two to kill a bitch
Steven (Youngest)
-spoiled, his finding out about them being killers is completely accidental, he’s been the one living a good life set up by Marc
-Baby
-“mom said it’s MY turn with the body” “we don’t actually talk to mom” “she said it’s my turn, Marc”

Batman: [standing at the front of the room] thank you for coming to this emergency meeting of the Justice League.
Batman: [pulling up a presentation on screen] let us proceed without further delay.
Batman: [pulls up the first slide] This is a picture of Tim. He is asocial. That means he avoids social interaction. Other examples of asocial people is me.
Batman: [changes slides] This is the Joker. He is an antisocial person. That means he has a "long-term pattern of disregard for, or violation of, the rights of others", struggles with emapthy and is prone to bouts of aggression. Other examples of this would be most of the villains we fight, though that is mere speculation since antisocial personality disorder is a psychological condition and most of our opponents have not been diagnosed.
Batman: [exits the presentation] in conclusion: asocial and antisocial are not pseudonyms and thus should not be used interchangeably. I expect you all to take this under advisement in the future when making snide comments about your teammates.
Batman: That concludes this portion of the meeting. I now turn the stage over to Nightwing.
Nightwing: [Takes the stage, wearing his police uniform and a domino] Thank you Batman!
Nightwing: I call this segment "Jaywalking- it's illegal even when you're wearing a cape!"
Nightwing: [pulls up a powerpoint with 94 slides] Let's begin!
