fic where 18 yrs old dazai meets 14 yrs old atsushi (right after leaving the mafia ig) and w/o thinking takes him with him and they spend the two years on the run together (dazai becuz anytime he tries to abandon the orphan he picked up w/o thought oda flashes into his mind and ultimately he grows to care for him) (atsushi becuz the weird bandage guy pinkie promised he could ride on one of those trains he's seen in books)
anyway
dazai and atsushi dont look alike or have the same name so the ada picks up they arent related by blood real quick
anytime anyone asks how they met, they honestly answer "i/dazai kidnapped him/me" but everyone thinks its a joke
atsushi wins dazai over gradually, like small moments, small moments of kindness shown for dazai, small moments of seeing atsushi's real non-trauma made personality seeping through , he doesn't even realize it until it hits all at once how much he cares for atsushi
atsushi on the other hand was sold because dazai could make him laugh
//
also sskk where atsushi takes his bf to meet his brother and akutagawa and dazai do the spiderman meme
//
also dazai finds out atsushi's ability becuz at some point he comes to their hideout or whatever and a giant tiger is sitting there and before he can even panic it happily jumps at him and boom atsushi
//
in this particular au, dazai lets atsushi doodle anywhere like dazai's bandages and his books becuz its better than having to actually engage with the child and eventually gets atsushi an actual sketchbook and the two spend their time drawing, atsushi's sketches get better dazai's get worse but atsushi sometimes thinks its becuz dazai's silly and scary sketches make him laugh
//
there has to be a scene where someone asks atsushi what he's doing here, after dazai's joined the ada, and atsushi's like "im here w/ my brother" and looks at dazai, sees him poorly flirting w/ kunikida and irritating him and gets so much second hand embarrassment he points at ranpo instead
//
atsushi knows dazai was in the mafia but he thinks double black was just dazai's cringy ship name for his ex boyfriend
//
okay thats all i can think of now ill add more maybe
I finally finished this stupid drawing lol all of these four are drawn at separate times but are colored recently so ignore my art style changing four times
Itโs a running gag in the AFTGF AU that Neil canโt hold a job for long. The only job that heโs kept is working at the diner but itโs because everyone in town excuses his horrible customer service since heโs very attractive and mysterious
Plus
just light parallels but it makes me more intrigued
Edit: ALSO
I genuinely think Atsushi would get along with most of the Port Mafia.
Like he and Akutugawa have that whole, thing going on and still trust and care for each other.
And if Akutugawa is okay with him I think the Black lizards would at least try and find him fun.
Hirotsu is just like why can't you guys be as well behaved as Atsushi and Tachihara's like he just hissed at me! While Atsushi looks like the picture of innocence.
Chuuya and Atsushi would probably tease Dazai for his antics. I like to think if Kunikida hasn't already, Chuuya would show him how to throw a correct punch.
They'd be chill, probably pet some dogs together.
Kouyou and Atsushi would bond over Kyouka, how she's being doing and such. She'd probably tease him and he'd dish it out just as good back.
Which I like to think she'd respect, especially if she mentored Chuuya, and they'd get tea together.
She'd probably sigh at his bangs but go nope that's for another day.
Probably sasses Mori without realising it and Mori just laughs like no no go on.
Mori definitely spills some embarrassing Fukuzawa stories and Atsushi can't look at the man for the next week, and won't say why.
And just Atsushi is just that guy I think if he can somehow and somewhat befriend Akutugawa and Lucy, he can end up befriending others.
Imagine it goes so well that they're like erm yeah forget Yosano we want the weretiger plz to be exchanged.
Atsushi: Why would anyone want me?
Everyone: both Port Mafia and Detective Agency.... Who told you that?!
finally i made this
please please pleaseee do you have any more fic recs for strangers from hell? i read another sfh fic you posted about and adored it..
Ofc friend I gotchu, I'm still going down the whole ao3 tag but these are some of my favorites so far in no particular order <3 (halftruth my hero, sad you're only on twitter).
Mind the tags on some of these, I don't mind a lot of this content but you may, though SFH is its own warning I feel. There's a lot of different genres and vibes in here, not all may be to your liking!
