#author appreciation

#Thank you all the awesome fanfic writers!

Honestly, ever since becoming a fanfic writer myself I’ve become like 500% more understanding and patient about other authors’ update schedules. An author takes 6+ months to post their next chapter? Yeah, totally get that real life can get in the way. An author abandons a fic? Disappointing, but it happens- sometimes inspiration for a story just dies. An author apologizes about taking so long to post a 10k word chapter? Dude, that’s like 18-20 pages on Word single-spaced. It takes me at least a week to write an essay for school a quarter the length of that, and that’s with a deadline. 

It’s probably the most important thing writing fanfic has taught me, tbh. How to fully appreciate the hard work someone else has put into their story. How important the role of the audience is to an author. And that no matter what, you are never entitled to demand more of a story that you are getting for free.

Fanfic idea- Drunken one night stand

Prompt: Both Chuuya and Atsushi have a very good night~

Notes: So not gunna lie I have been craving a more saucy ChuuAtsu story lately and his idea kinda popped up in my head a few months ago so I decided to actually write out my thoughts as a break before I continued writing for ChuuAtsu day. 

Hope y’all like it and don’t judge me too harshly on the bad grammar lol

Actual idea- 

(For context I like to imagine that Chuuya and Atsushi have never formally met or have seen each other’s pictures, so yea they have no idea who the other is or their job) 

So the actual idea is very simple, I imagine that the point maybe during a birthday party or other special occasion Atsushi gets drunk for once. Of course everyone is having a good time and making sure things are fine but at some point while Dazai, Yosano, and Kunikida are having a drinking contest they kinda lose track of Atsushi. 

Though when they start to freak out Rampo assures them that Atsushi is fine they just go back to enjoying the party.

Coincidentally Chuuya is getting drunk at the place and meets up with drunken Atsushi. 

They actually hit it off really well while drunk. Atsushi thinks that Chuuya is unfairly pretty and wants to get to know him more and Chuuya finds Atsushi to be all around adorable with his wide pretty twilight eyes and warm smile. 

They eventually head back to Chuuya’s place and l won’t go into detail but Chuuya definitely makes that tiger purr~ 

———————————————

I imagine that Atsushi is the first to wake up and is suffering a bit from a hangover but is overall feeling an odd feeling of happiness and embarrassment at waking up in this strangers bed after doing things~ 

So like the adorable but kind man he is he goes through the trouble of making sure to get Chuuya some water and medicine to put at his bed side and starts making breakfast for the man. 

Of course he only has a bit of time before going back to work so he writes a small note and leaves it next to the medicine  for Chuuya. 

He basically says a thank you for the wonderful time they had and apologizes in that self conscious way you imagine Atsushi to do since he’s not a very “experienced” partner.  He leaves his phone number hopes with a little “hope you you don’t have a bad hangover” side note. 

Then he leaves the apartment to go to his and Kyouka’s shared apartment so he can get showered, changed, and off back to the ADA.

—————————————

Meanwhile a few hours later Chuuya wakes up with a killer headache and some very fuzzy but fun memories of being with a very beautiful man. 

Of course he looks over in his bed and as expected the guy left as is one night stand behavior. 

Though what he doesn’t expect is the thoughtful little note with medicine, or the nice little breakfast waiting for him at the table. 

Honestly this combined with the slowly growing memories of his one-night stand make’s Chuuya really want this to be more then a one time thing~ 

So he sends a few texts and Atsushi texts back~

—————————————————

This goes on for at least a couple weeks with some very nice nights until one day there is a fight that’s supposed to go down with the Port mafia and the ADA are trying to contain things before it gets too violate.

Which ends up with Chuuya and Atsushi actually meeting up with each other while working. And suffice to say both of them are shocked and didn’t expect this to happen. 

Atsushi grows worried that he’s broken some sort of rule and doesn’t want to get either the ADA or Chuuya in trouble so he tries his best to avoid Chuuya while trying to act normal (even though he’s a blushing stuttering mess when asked).

Meanwhile Chuuya is pissed at first of the thought of Atsushi taking advantage of him before he realizes that the guy had no idea about his identity and doing his best to do some sort of damage control for the both of them. 

Which is cute.

So of course Chuuya being Chuuya, instead of hiding or avoiding Atsushi just decides to flirt with Atsushi the entire time. 

Because this is a new but very adorable side to his lover that he wants to keep exploring, and he’s not afraid of the possible consequences. 

He's already decided that he wants this adorable tiger and he’s prepared fight to keep him~

Fanfic idea- Yokai Au kitsune DazAtsu 

Note: This was inspired by @venelona 's recent Kitsune Dazai craze which I love dearly. Seriously so many people have been drawing cute DazAtsu art with Kitsune Dazai! It's hard to not be inspired by so much beautiful ship art! XD

Anyways back to my ramblings lol

--------------------------

Prompt: Dazai loves his human

Actual idea- 

(So for context this idea is placed in Edo Japan where humans hate Yokai and have a huge prejudice against anyone who they believe could be related to a yokai.)

Dazai is a 900 year old nine tailed Kitsune who is quite frankly bored with life, so of course he decides that he wants to end his life. 

He tries to suppress is power to the point he’s almost completely identical with a regular one tailed fox and jumps into a lake to drown. 

It was the perfect plan and his death would have been in a rather picturesque spot as well.

Well it would’ve been, except some young dumb human decided to interfere!

When he awakened from consciousness covered in bandages near a warm fireplace beside him he found a relatively young human male, with choppy silver hair and eyes that reminded him of a sunset. 

He was pale scrawny thing, bruised, and tired looking to boot.  

Honestly he was a rather pretty for a human, perhaps he had some demon heritage given his unique coloring? 

It piqued his interest slightly, and as he learned more about the human his interest grew.

He learned that Atsushi was a lone human who was recently banished from his former village. Apparently the human’s didn’t like the idea of someone with yokai heritage living among them so instead of outright murdering the guy they isolate him in some abandoned little hut in the middle of the mountains. 

But apart from his coloring and ability to heal himself Atsushi was as human as could be.

A lonely little human at that. 

Fun to tease and prank though.

Even before he learned that Dazai could talk he was always talking to him, petting his soft fur, and treating him so gently.

Honestly it was rather nice to be pampered by such a pretty human. 

Even when he played pranks on him or teased him Atsushi never truly got angry, he would sigh and complain but would always welcome Dazai with open arms. 

Perhaps it was the warm look in his eyes, the way the Atsushi would listen to his complaints with a soft understanding smile, or the absolute delight he would express whenever Dazai would bring him back a large chicken or rabbit but Dazai couldn’t help but grow attached.

At some point he found himself beginning to love his little hidden treasure. 

——————————————

Honestly I love the idea Atsushi just believing for the first few months that Dazai is just some mischievous fox that he saved from drowning in a river. 

Sure that little fox woke up hissing at him and trying to destroy literally everything Atsushi owned in his small ramshackle hut but over time his little friend warmed up to him. 

It helped his lonely existence to be able to talk to the little creature and the fox seemed to enjoy his company as well because at some point during the day the fox would just stay on his shoulders all nice and cozy around Atsushi’s neck while listening to him and chirping in his own two cents in there. 

It was peaceful and made Atsushi feel like he was not alone anymore.

---------------------------------------

Meanwhile at night while Atsushi is sleeping he gets territorial over his new little mountain home and sweet human. 

AKA: Dazai is kinda yandere feral when humans and Yokai wander too close to his and Atsushi’s hut.  

I’d like to think that some sort of rumor starts spreading around about how a powerful and cruel Yokai protects the mountain because it holds some sort of treasure or something.

But really its just Dazai acting like an overly possessive attention starved cat who will hiss and scratch at anyone who gets close to his favorite person one moment and the next will yowl and break every glass cup in the house until he gets the attention he believes is owed to him from said favorite person.

—————————

At some point Dazai decides to leave for a day or two to get some gifts for Atsushi but comes back to find their humble home getting ransacked and poor Atsushi being hurt (cause ya know what’s an edo anime without mountain bandits lol). 

And Dazai, Dazai goes a bit feral and exposes Atsushi to his true nine tailed form.

I imagine Dazai cradling Atsushi to himself while his tails swish aggressively as he growls at the perceived threat.

Cause how fucking dare those humans think they can steal from him! How dare they think they can hurt his human!

Meanwhile Atsushi feels a mixture of confusion, fear, indignation, and a small amount of relief. 

Confusion because apparently his pet fox is actually an incredibly powerful yokai who could’ve killed him at any point of time.

Fear because his pet fox yokai looks incredibly pissed and is staring at the robbers like he's about to tear them apart.

Indignation because he knew that fox was too smart to just be a fox! He was going crazy for months talking to what he believed to be a pet when instead he could have had full on conversations with incredibly hot fox man! When this was all over he was going to give Dazai an earful! 

And finally relief cause for as terrifying as Dazai looks right now, he’s holding him so gently~  

XD

[Art Challenge]

Ngl, I wasn't sure who I wanted to make the protective one, but in the end I settled on Chuuya <3

Note: I just want to thank @Venelona for being an awesome friend that had been entertaining my long winded ramblings and hyper fixations about their post lol. 

Venny you are awesome and your art rocks! 

Anyways technically this idea could stand alone as its own thing but for context on this Drabble please click here for part 1:  https://www.tumblr.com/lightreader1/779777145352454144/fanfic-idea-supernatural-atsushi-au-part-1-note?source=share 

Aaand here is part 2:  https://www.tumblr.com/lightreader1/779910843506769920/fanfic-idea-supernatural-atsushi-au-part-2-note?source=share 

Anyways again I hope y’all enjoy reading and leave a comment if you are so inclined! : D

Little extra note but I love comments and 99% of the time I will reply to them. =w= 

Also warning this is probably the longest ramble I have done yet. 

————————————————————————————————————

Prompt: Atsushi is a tiger yokai that had been sealed into a tree and now is in a kind of weird love triangle with two of the port mafia’s most dangerous executives. 

Actual idea- 

I fell like a quick recap is in order but Atsushi is a tiger yokai who fell in love with an Oni, they lived a rather happy and peaceful life until some cowardly yokai decided to get rid of Atsushi so he wouldn’t have Arahbahki get revenge for their cruelty to the tiger. 

This plan back fires big time so that while Atsushi was sealed into a tree in a near death state his lover went mad with rage and basically obliterated the yokai population before dying himself. 

This gave humans the chance to become the ruling species and due to the influx of magic thanks to all the dead yokai, some humans started to gain abilities. 

———————————————————————— 

Later on Atsushi was accidentally unsealed from the tree by port mafia executive “demon prodigy” Osamu Dazai. 

Feeling a mixture of joy and gratitude to the human who unsealed him from his hell Atsushi wants to repay Dazai by offering both himself and his abilities for the human to use however he wishes. 

Granted the only thing is that Atsushi refuses to do is kill Dazai or let him die, which is very annoying for Dazai since his hobby is suicide. 

(Extra note but as an effect of being sealed for so long Atsushi’s lack of magic essentially makes him a ghost unless he puts in effort to keep his body stable. Doing things like healing, transforming, and regeneration takes energy that he regains via sleeping. Though the exceptions to the ghost thing are specific ability users like Dazai and Chuuya.)

Dazai keeps getting annoyed at Atsushi and Atsushi starts to learn how much of how his savior isn’t really a good man. 

It all comes to a point where Dazai complains about another failed attempt thanks to Atsushi, Atsushi kinda loses it for a second. 

When they return home to the shipping container and Atsushi pins Dazai down to the bed.

His usually vibrant gold and violet eyes look cold and lifeless as the tiger leans down close enough to Dazai’s face that he can feel his warm breath against his lips.

Atsushi: “Do you really want to die so badly, Dazai-san? I grant you death, make it quick and painless just as you desire.”

Dazai smirks and tries to move his arms but Atsushi’s grip is iron.

Dazai: “Ohh~ Not gunna lie that sounds very tempting Atsushi-kun~”

I can imagine Atsushi’s lips trembling slightly as he leans down and puts a clawed hand agains Dazai’s neck, letting his nails scrape against his skin drawing the a few drops of blood.

And Dazai shivers at the feeling when Atsushi leans to whisper into his ear.

Atsushi: “I understand that need, that desire to let everything fall away so you can feel peace. I wished for it too while I was sealed away. But I have a condition.” 

I can imagine Atsushi leaning down to lick away the blood, healing the wound in the process and Dazai swallows looking down at his little tiger. 

Dazai: “And what’s that condition kitten?”  

Dazai’s whispers and shivers at the responding kiss to his neck before Atsushi moves up to place another kiss on Dazai’s cheek.  The tiger now has his entire weight on Dazai, but curls up so his head is right above the human’s heart, listening to his fast thump thump thump.

Atsushi: “All I want is more time. For so long I was alone, trapped in my own mind with nothing but darkness. It was horrible, a hell that I thought I would never be able to escape. But you saved me.” 

I can imagine Atsushi looking up at Dazai with tired eyes and a sad smile, and Dazai he doesn’t want to see his tiger so broken.

Atsushi: “I-I’ll give you everything. My loyalty, my body, my ability. Everything, just please please wait. You brought me back into this world of light. Don’t abandon me when just being around you makes me want to live again.”

Atsushi cuddles in closer and Dazai can feel the wetness against his shirt. 

He sighs before wrapping his arms around the broken thing resting against him.

Dazai: “Your really not playing fair Atsushi-kun being so greedy~ But fine, I’ll wait.”

Atsushi looks up to him the spark in his eyes returning again as he smiles

Atsushi: “Thank you”

Dazai: “Yes yes, you can thank me later. Now can you please get off? As….exciting as this has been I still prefer women.”

Dazai blushes slightly as Atsushi’s just smiles at him before placing another chaste kiss at the corner of his mouth and snuggling more into his chest.

Atsushi: No, you’re too comfortable. Besides if gender is the issue then I’ll just transform when I have more energy.

Dazai still blushing at the kiss before registering what Atsushi said

Dazai:……wait what?!

Atsushi just snuggles closer ignoring Dazai’s bi-panic

(And yes Dazai did think Atsushi pinning him down and licking his blood was sexy as hell. This is where he begins to question his sexuality because of his sexy tiger boy.) 

———————————————————————————————————

Over time both Atsushi and Dazai grow closer as their lives become more domestic.

He’s amused by Dazai’s childish antics.

Exasperated when the man pushes his paperwork onto him (steep learning curve given that Dazai had to teach him how to do said paperwork).

And he want to bite him whenever the man flirts with a random women in front of him.

(He does end up nipping Dazai a few times and refusing to heal him no matter how much the human complains about it. Which is a bluff Dazai learns that he does have a biting kink lol.)

He knows that Dazai can be cruel and calculating, he knows that his human probably doesn’t really care about him. That he is just using him for his abilities and the fact that Atsushi will attack anyone that harms him.

It hurts a little but Atsushi accepts this.

He finds himself loving his Dazai, faults and all and even if his feelings are unrequited he is content. 

He starts to find peace in this new life, he still mourns the loss of his old life and love but is also finding happiness in his new routines with the mafioso. 

But then Dazai gets assigned a mission by his “boss”, and Dazai brings him along and complains all about a “slug”.

——————————————————————— 

Atsushi is amused, walking along side Dazai invisibly smiling while listening to his silly human rant about his co-worker. 

It’s cute and makes Atsushi curious about who could’ve made his usually calm and composed human so irate. 

He stifles a giggle as Dazai starts talking about how he shouldn’t get too close to the “slug”.

How he is too good and that the slug shouldn’t be able to see his adorable kitten. 

Atsushi can feel himself blush at the smile that Dazai directed at him.  

Even if Dazai was just teasing him he couldn’t help but feel his heart beat faster at his beloved human’s claim.

They continue to talk about the details of the mission and how as per usual Atsushi shouldn’t reveal himself unless absolutely necessary.

It’s simple, normal for the two of them, a conversation that they’ve had many times. 

But then they turn around the corner and Atsushi stops frozen in his tracks as his entire world comes crashing down.

He see’s a familiar figure. 

The short stature, long orange hair, a beautiful face with dark blue eyes that matched the deepest of oceans. 

The presence of a man that has power and he knows it. 

Then the man turns to face them and Atsushi’s heart races cause he knows that smirk. 

He’s seen it a million times on a man who made him promises laced with love, safety, and a life together that never came to pass. 

A life that while sealed in that tree he thought was nothing but wishful thinking instead of memory

He doesn’t notice when he starts to run.

He doesn’t hear Dazai startled yell.

He doesn’t notice that the man actually see’s him even and looks just as shocked as him.

All he can feel is the magic running through his veins, giving all of his energy into making him as corporeal as possible because he needs to know. 

He needs to make sure the man isn’t an illusion.

And as he crashes into the man’s chest he feels that familiar warmth, the power once used to crush enemies so long ago surrounds him but he doesn’t feel heavy.

It’s not malicious, its welcoming, as if embracing him back.

It’s comforting in its familiarity and Atsushi can’t help but smile as tears start to spill from his eyes. 

A new warmth filling his heart as a joy rivaling when he was released from his seal.

And he snuggles closer to the stiff body underneath him, clutching onto the man like his life depends on it.

He can hear a strong heart beat and he smiles knowing that this is real.

Smell the familiar scent of flames and storms underneath the atrocious “cologne” that modern humans use. 

He is real. 

His beloved..

He smiles wide as he whispers 

Atsushi: “Arahbahki~”

He feels the man stiffen further but still doesn’t move away but instead moves closer brushing his lips against his beloved’s neck as more tears roll down his cheeks. 

Atsushi: “My dear Anata. My beloved Oni, you live. You live! My Anata! My dear love you live!” 

He’s shaking as tears start to turn to full on sobs, he can feel his grip tightening and feels his Anata flinch. But pays to mind to that as joy and pain start to mix into his chest.

Atsushi: “I’m so sorry love. I-i should have b-been stronger. T-th-they tr-ticked me. I -I was so stupid s-so so scared. I-i called! I called for you! I-i thought- hic -I wouldn’t- hic. Oh Anata!” 

He wants to feel his Anata hug him back, to hear his voice call him his beautiful Byakko once more, to have his love kiss his tears away like so long ago.

But it doesn’t happen. 

Instead he feels his Anata push against him, he looks up confused and lets out a broken whine when he doesn’t see his beloved’s usual warm playful look. 

Instead he see’s suspicion, even outright hostility.  

Cold eyes devoid of the love he so desparately craved for centuries showed no recognition.

And Atsushi could feel his heart break all over again.

Familiar arms wrap behind him and he starts to struggle, to cling onto his beloved. 

“Why’s he glaring at me? Does he hate me? Anata I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry! Please don’t hate me!”

He gives a broken cry when he is finally pulled off and is ready to claw at the interrupter until he hears a  Dazai’s cold voice.

Dazai: “Slug I’m gonna need you to give me a moment.” 

He watches as his love just stand up and dusts himself off looking before glaring at Dazai. 

Chuuya: “Fine, but your gonna explain what the hell is going on!”

He feels he feels a whine build in his throat when his Anata doesn’t even look at him and then lets out a pitiful broken noise when he feels Dazai turn him around and start walking away from his beloved. 

Dazai: “Oh my poor kitten, you really do have the worst luck.”

And Atsushi can only whine, even though he feels Dazai’s arms around him his heart break still breaks as the distance between him and his Anata grows once more. 

——————————————————————————— 

After this incident we begin the DazAtsuYa!

Essentially Dazai takes Atsushi a little bit away and gives the bare basics of Chuuya’s back story to him.

How Chuuya was an expriement and is 100% human and that what he senses as “Arahbahki” is just a non-sentient power.

His love isn’t back, it’s just Chuuya. A human that has Arahbahki’s power sealed within him and nothing more.

This of course horrifies Atsushi on a lot of ways. 

The idea that humans could do that to their own.

How he can now “see” his beloved but it’s only a body similar to him, the person “Chuuya-san” is a complete stranger. 

And Atsushi just is so broken after this, because he was starting to heal. 

After being sealed away for centuries waiting for someone to release him and then seeing how long he was sealed away he accepted that Arahbahki had died. 

But now he learns that some part of his beloved is still alive just sealed away?

No thoughts, no memories, just pure rage and destruction?

It devastates him. 

So Atsushi after learning all this information assumedly while Dazai is still holding him slumps before changing his form again. 

He doesn’t want to be human, he doesn’t want to be seen, he’s too tired and too hurt to keep it up.

So he shrink’s down, shrinks, and shrinks until he’s nothing more than a tiger the size of a small cat clinging onto Dazai in his grief. 

And Dazai sighs holding his kitten closer, petting him, and telling him that he has him.

That he won’t let Atsushi go.

———————————

But moving on after that Dazai still has a job with Chuuya and he can’t just leave because of Atsushi.

So with a sigh to himself he holds a vulnerable Atsushi close to his chest making sure to cover his little ghost tiger in his jacket. Not wanting Chuuya to see him nor for Atsushi to see the slug.

And he sighs because he’s feeling so much right now.

He’s worried for his usually optimistic tiger.

Atsushi always held such joy and curiosity in the world as soon as he was unsealed, even when he told Atsushi that Yokai are nothing but legends he didn’t have such a reaction. 

Sure there was grief but also an acceptance, a gratefulness for life that Dazai couldn’t help but be jealous of. 

But now Atsushi’s eyes seem just as lifeless as his own, and its all because of that damn slug!

And that is another thing!

Apparently “Arahbahki” wasn’t always just a bunch of energy, “it” was once an extremely powerful Oni Yokai that was also apparently married to Atsushi.

Seriously! The slug has to look exactly like Atsushi’s long dead husband!

And now he has to explain what’s going on to that Slug even though he really really doesn’t want to.

He wanted to keep Atsushi’s existence a secret in the first place but now that plan has went to shit and his fierce tiger has become a depressed little kitten. 

But Dazai just sighs holding Atsushi closer when he gives another whimper feeling the tigers dig ever so slightly into his shirt. 

*”Let’s just get this over with.”*

———————————————————————

Meanwhile Chuuya is so confused when Dazai comes back. 

He was suddenly attacked by some random cosplayer who kept on calling him “Anata” and was crying nonsense to him. 

But what shocked him was that even though he commanded his ability to go around the guy his gravity didn’t change. 

His usual perfect control seemed to be lost as soon as the guy touched him. 

And when Dazai got the guy off of him he didn’t fail to notice that the moving ears and tail didn’t go anywhere either.

Was this guy also immune to Dazai’s ability? Did his ability just mess with other abilities? No, Dazai’s ability is absolute. Then what the hell?!

Then when Dazai (who looks incredibly pissed off) comes back not with the guy but instead of a little tiger cub everything gets worse. 

Dazai must have finally went mad.

Cause what do you mean he unsealed the last Yokai spirit? 

What do you mean he’s been sealed away for centuries?

What do you mean the tiger swore his loyalty and life to you to repay that debt!

And what the fuck do you mean he was married to Arahbahki and is depressed cause I look like his dead husband! 

Just the FUCK! 

———————————————————————

Dazai and Chuuya still get the job done of course. 

Atsushi briefly transforms into a giant tiger to protect Dazai.

And Chuuya is in awe because crap that is a magical fucking tiger!

The cosplayer is actually a real magical fucking tiger and Dazai wasn’t just messing with him.

…..oh shit Dazai wasn’t messing with him. 

And Dazai just watches all these emotions cross Chuuya’s face while seeing how twitchy his fingers are while looking at Atsushi. 

And he smirks pulling his sad little tiger closer to his chest. 

Dazai: What’s the matter slug? Jealous?~

 And for a moment Chuuya has the intense urge to punch Dazai in the face and grab the cat.

But instead he flips him off. 

Chuuya: Screw you, you suicidal bastard. I just feel bad for the cat you somehow tricked into liking you.

And Dazai snorts and makes a joke at Chuuya’s expense to try and cheer Atsushi up, but he end up frowning cause Atsushi doesn’t act exasperated with antics as usual.

Just his little kitten snuggling closer into his neck, like he’s trying to hide from the world. 

————————————————————————————————————

After the mission is a rough couple weeks.

Once Dazai returns home Atsushi essentially escaped under their bed, stays in tiger cub form, and essentially acts like a depressed cat. 

And Dazai tries take care of Atsushi because he doesn’t know how to comfort him. 

He brings him his favorite food. 

Gets more pillows and blankets to make him comfortable. 

Holds him and shows him pictures of places all around the world to spark that childish wonder again.

He just wants Atsushi to smile again. To walk with him, playfully nip at him, and scold him for not being careful And I just imagine Dazai just petting Atsushi while reminding him of Atsushi’s promise. That Atsushi promised him his “everything”. 

That all Dazai wants right now is to see his Tiger smile again. And maybe that little talk mixed with everything else encourages Atsushi to eat that Chazuke. ——————————————————————————— Meanwhile Chuuya actually starts to dream which freaks him the F out since he’s never had dreams before. 

And they all relates back to the tiger  (who he learns through the dreams is named “Atsushi”)

It’s so weird because he see’s a younger, thinner, and more snappy version of Atsushi wearing nothing but a thin raggedy kimono. 

He see’s the tiger come to him and try to stay by his side even when his “dream” self was an ass. 

Sometimes they eat together, joke together, laugh, and cry together. 

It’s like seeing a life time happen right before his eyes. 

He see’s himself taking Atsushi’s hand, kissing it, and watching the tiger blush.

He see’s how Atsushi would hold heal  him and then smile at him so happily before curling up to his side to snuggle up to him. 

He see’s himself taking a kiss from the tiger and how his gorgeous twighlight eyes widen in surprise before returning the kiss just as hard. 

Chuuya even has a particular dream of holding Atsushi in his arms and well lets just things get a bit *spicy*~ 

They would talk of love, of marriage, of having a family together, of Atsushi carrying a child. 

His child. 

Chuuya can admit these dreams were rather embarrassing though it did make him curious about the tiger in Dazai’s possession.

But he refrained, the tiger was already freaked out by seeing him, didn’t want to traumatize the guy even more if this wasn’t just his messed up brain imagining things cause he finds the tiger attractive.

(Side note there are a lot of sexy dreams lol)

And then the nightmare happens. 

A nightmare where he can’t find his *”beautiful Byakko”*

 He see’s himself searching, yelling out for him, and then panicking cause he can’t find him!

Why can’t he find him?

Where is he?!?

And he finds the trail and follows it.

He finds torn bloody cloth from Atsushi’s favorite kimono.

And as he goes further he finds a tree splattered with too much blood and a sickening feeling in his gut.

Because he knows his beloved is gone. 

He’s gone…

He’s gone and someone hurt him!

Someone killed his beloved!

His sweet, kind, and beautiful Byakko.

 His adorable tiger who hated fighting and killing, who would rather heal and gather herbs to impress him with. 

His beloved Atsushi who would hold him in his arms and against his chest without fear of the “monster amongst monster” ripping his heart out.

Who was the first person to give him words of love and acceptance. 

His wife, the man he had planned to spend the rest of his life with protecting and providing for, the one who was going to bear his child, is dead. 

Probably died terrified, alone, calling for him in hopes of rescue. 

All in vain. 

*“He’s sorry, oh dear beloved nonono, I should have protected you. Why wasn’t I there! How could I fail you! Who the FUCK did this to you! I’LL KILLE’M KILL’EM KILL KILL KILL!”*

Chuuya has felt pain before but nothing so intense as that all encompassing as the SORROW and HATERED that made his insides burn.

Then he wakes up and Chuuya feels like he’s going mad because this isn’t him! 

These aren’t his memories or his feelings! 

And he only has one way to get his answers and move on from all of these horrible feelings and memories. 

So in Chuuya like fashion rips the doors off of Dazai shipping container to find the bastard petting the tiger cub underneath the bed. 

Of course Dazai complains about this but Chuuya just continues on his way. 

Chuuya rolls his eyes Chuuya: Oh please you probably have a million other backup places just as shitty as this one.

 He then makes his way past Dazai and gets on the floor to see a sufficiently spooked tiny tiger underneath the bed.

 I could imagine his eye softening as he tries to speak gently.

 Chuuya: Alright so…I need to talk to you about a lot of things right now. So I would really appreciate it if you could come out Atsushi.

 And I could imagine both Dazai’s and Atsushi’s eyes widening. Because Dazai never told Chuuya Atsushi’s name.

——————————————————————————

After this I can imagine Atsushi reluctantly agree’s to talk but keeps himself behind Dazai because looking at Chuuya right now is just way too painful.

He explains his story. About how “Byakko” or a white tiger yokai were hated and hunted because they were healers and their bodies could be used for potent medicines. 

How he met Arahbahki and fell in love. 

How they had planned to have a child but it required him to store a lot of energy to change his form so it could have the baby.

How because of that when the other yokai tricked him he couldn’t truly defend himself. 

How he was sealed away until Dazai came into the picture. 

And Dazai and Chuuya are kinda horrified by how painful Atsushi’s story is. 

But Atsushi just smiles bitterly and shakes his head because there is nothing he can do and how talking about it helped with the grief somewhat. 

(After hearing all this Chuuya doesn’t ask more about the dreams since he doesn’t want to hurt the tiger even more)

From there on Atsushi leans against Dazai before apologizing to Chuuya, for treating him like someone else. That if possibly he would like to become friends and if that is too much then at least get along since Dazai and Chuuya are work partners. 

You know just being sweet. 

And Chuuya, well Chuuya is sufficiently charmed by this sweet little tiger and Dazai starts getting jealous. 

Because like hell is he letting the slug steal his tiger!

———————————————————————————————

The rest of the story would be about Atsushi and Chuuya slowly befriending each other.

(Granted Chuuya is constantly fighting the urge to kiss, hug, and even bite the tiger amongst other things lol) 

And a part of Atsushi does fall in love with Chuuya as well but denies himself because he promised his all to Dazai

Meanwhile Dazai gets closer of their budding relationship and constantly tries to separate them as much as possible. 

It all comes to ahead when Dazai and Chuuya get sent to a mission where “Corruption would have to be used. 

Dazai specifically told Atsushi he wasn’t allowed to join but still does anyways because he doesn’t want to see his two precious people hurt. 

Then he see’s Chuuya’s corrupted form and moves without a second of hesitation.

I can imagine Atsushi running towards a corrupted Chuuya who is screaming in pain and rage.

 Of Dazai trying to stop him because he doesn't want the gravitons to destroy his tiger. 

But then Atsushi embraces Chuuya, and this corrupted Chuuya doesn't move away. Still out of his mind Atsushi lifts Chuuya's face and those pupiless eyes are crying as if something deep inside of Chuuya's corrupted state recognizes the tiger.

 And Atsushi smiles gently cupping Chuuya's cheek in his hand, he's crying but his expression is so full of love and sadness. And Chuuya, still in his corrupted state, hugs Atsushi for dear life bites him in the neck which hurts but thats fine to Atsushi. It’s familiar and in a way comforting and Atsushi cradles him while using his power to heal Chuuya's body. 

In the end Atsushi is just holding a peacfully sleeping Chuuya while Dazai is left flabbergasted about what he had just witnessed.

——————————————————————————

Dazai and Chuuya still get jealous of each other and of course fuck up trying to force Atsushi to choose.

Chuuya wants him but Atsushi is adamant on not betraying Dazai.

And Dazai says some particular horrible things about “never should’ve released you in the first place if I knew you were going to be so much trouble.” 

(Which he regrets immediately after seeing how heartbroken Atsushi looks before running away from him. )

It all ends up with Dazai and Chuuya compromising because they love Atsushi and don’t want him to constantly feel miserable because of their feelings for him. 

Atsushi is their tiger, and they are his humans~ 

What more can I say?

——————————————————

And that’s all folks! I might make separate dribbles on my head cannons for this relationship and characters later! Hope you enjoyed this and please leave a comment or ask questions because my gosh their is so so sooooo much more to this au that I’ve discussed with @venelona lol.

Fanfic idea- Supernatural Atsushi AU part 2

Note: @Venelona made some awesome fanart and now I must respectfully respond in kind with my rambling ideas! Hope ya’ll enjoy this one! 

Also technically this idea could stand alone as its own thing but for context on this Drabble please click here for part 1:  https://www.tumblr.com/lightreader1/779777145352454144/fanfic-idea-supernatural-atsushi-au-part-1-note?source=share

Anyways again I hope yall enjoy reading and leave a comment if you are so inclined! : D

————————————————————————————————————

Prompt: Atsushi is a tiger yokai that had been sealed into a tree, he yearned for freedom only to be saved centuries later by a suicidal human.

Actual idea- 

So as the prompt explains Atsushi is a tiger yokai that has been sealed into a tree for centuries.

Now I imagine that while sealed inside of a tree Atsushi isn’t completely unaware of the passing of time it’s just incredibly warped. 

Like being on the cusps of sleep, he’s just awake enough to make a few minutes feel like hours. 

He can murmurs and noises from the world around his tree but can’t exactly make out the words. 

He’s lonely and hates being in the darkness of his own mind. 

He misses the one he loves, he misses the sun, the stars, the mountains, and even the sight of other yokai. 

As the centuries pass by he becomes more depressed in the tree as he beings to forget what the world outside of the tree was like. He worries that maybe the life he had before was not even real, just a figment of his imagination.

That perhaps the yokai actually did kill him and this was the punishment for not being strong enough to survive. 

And so he waits and eventually losing hope that he would ever be free of this hell. 

That is until Dazai comes along.

——————————————— 

(Now in this universe Dazai is around his cannon age of 22 but is still in the mafia, my reasoning? Odasaku did still die but Dazai just didn’t make it in time to hear his final words. So lets just say he’s still rather dark but also really hates Mori aaaaaannnnnndddddd maybe is planning on eventually killing him to take over but that is neither here nor there lol)

Anyways Dazai and some of his men are tracking an enemy gang in one of more rural area’s of Yokohama. This leads them to a rundown shrine where that the gang has been using as a home base. 

As expected of Port mafia executive Dazai he completely demolishes them but is disappointed that he still survived the encounter. So he decides to take a walk about the area while his men take care of cleaning and getting information out of a couple of survivors. 

He comes to a huge decorated tree that seems so out of place in Yokohama, so in typical Dazai fashion he goes over to touch it and be poetic about his thoughts. 

He doesn’t expect to feel “No longer human” activate he touched the tree. 

So he was quite surprised by a huge gush of wind knocks him back on his ass as the centuries old decorations around the tree are broken.

He grabs his gun and expects to see some sort of ability user. But instead he see’s an incredibly beautiful but hurt young man wearing an old fashioned kimono fall out of the tree’s tuck, seemingly in a confused daze. 

But as Dazai continues to observe he notices that not only is the man’s injuries healing in mere seconds but that he has tiger ears and tail.

He’s obviously a skill user, he has to be, there is no other explanation for everything that just happened. 

But then the tiger man seems to become more aware and starts looking at everything with a fascination that Dazai has only seen in children. 

Then the man-tiger finally notices him and in a blink of an eye small soft hands are holding the hand not occupied with his gun. 

So of course he carefully watches and is amazed to find that the ears and tail do not dissapear, and when the creature finally looks up at him Dazai’s breath catches at the pure joy in those violet and gold eyes. 

And Atsushi, Atsushi is so grateful to this human who had unknowingly freed him from his hell. 

———————————————————————————

From there on Atsushi latches onto Dazai.

He feels like he owes Dazai a life-debt so in order to repay him he offers himself and his abilities to the mafioso.

Of course Dazai is equally fascinated and cautious. 

Because what the hell, this shouldn’t be possible! He should’ve nullified the tiger’s ability but he seemingly has no ability even though he heals at an insanely quick rate and again has tiger features!

Though Dazai becomes more and more intrigued by Atsushi as time goes on. 

Turns out the tiger cannot only heal himself but also others. 

(Yea my headcannon is that the main reason tiger yokai was hated by other yokai is because they were known as neutral party healers. They had the capacity for great strength but they just instinctively preferred to heal others instead. 

Which made other yokai hate them because they made killing their enemies incredibly hard. 

But also Tiger yokai bones could be used as a cure all medicine that would not only heal but also strengthen a person. 

So yea thats the reason why yokai tigers were hunted and hated in Atsushi’s time).

So much to Dazai’s annoyance Atsushi continues to thwart Dazai’s sucicide attempts by constantly healing him. 

He tries to scare the tiger off by showing him how dark the mafia can be, and yet the tiger is not phased and instead keeps trying to find other ways to make him happy.

Their bond grows as Atsushi starts falling in love with his exasperating but silly human who keeps trying to kill himself.

In a way Atsushi can empathize with Dazai’s disillusionment with the world but wants to show him how absolutely wonderful the world can be (espiescally since he spent so long in total isolation and darkness), he just wants Dazai to live a long and happy life. 

Meanwhile Dazai is again kinda annoyed by Atsushi  and tries to scare him off but is unsuccessful, instead he is constantly entertained by Atsushi’s antics and surprised by this gentle but fiercely protective creature that declares his loyalty towards him.

They do eventually bond even more when they share their grief about losing their loved ones (Oda/Arahbaki).

Dazai keeps denying himself this relationship, keeps convincing himself that the tiger is nothing but a useful new tool that he can use and play with as he pleases. 

(Cause you know Dazai is an asshole in denial.) 

But this all comes to a head when his usually affectionate and loyal tiger suddenly tackle hugs the damn slug.

It pisses him off even more when the tiger starts clinging to him and calling the slug “Anata”.

(For context in Japanese wives usually refer to their husband as “Anata”, from my understanding it’s another way to say beloved or darling.) 

This of course pisses Dazai off.

Because Atsushi is his tiger! 

Atsushi promised to stay with him and like hell is he going to just sit by and let that home wrecking slug just steal him away!

And I can just imagine Dazai pulling Atsushi off of a confused and freaked out Chuuya and glaring at him while holding Atsushi possessively.

Ya know all the drama! XD 

[lightreader1]

Fanfic idea- Supernatural Atsushi AU part 1

Note: Inspired by a post from @venelona and because I have a lot of idea’s on this I’m gonna make a part 1 (ChuuAtsu), part 2 (DazAtsu), and possibly a part three (which would be DazAtsuYa. Please don’t judge~~~~

Prompt: Atsushi is a young and weak tiger spirit who falls in love and tragically gets sealed away. 

Actual idea- 

(So this takes place in the same BSD world that we all know and love just hundreds of years in the past, in a time when Yokai were the dominant species in the world. 

Yokai are essentially immortal spirits made of pure energy otherwise known as “magic”. When a yokai “dies, usually in combat since they're essentially ageless, their physical body’s basically disintegrates and their energy is absorbed by the world around them. This will be the eventual reason why humans gain abilities as they essentially absorb this magic like a plant would absorb the suns rays.)

Atsushi is a gentle tiger yokai who was abandoned when he was very young. 

I imagine that yokai of that time would shun and bully Atsushi because Tiger yokai are basically extinct and thus seen as very weak. 

So over the years Atsushi just tried his best to survive while being hated by the yokai around him. 

One day he was basically forced to travel through a territory that belonged to one of, if not the most powerful yokai in the land. One who was revered and feared for his brutality and love of destruction. 

Arahabaki 

Atsushi does meet Arahabaki and finds the older yokai to be abrasive and foul mouthed but also rather lonely. Atsushi having nothing to really lose and being incredibly lonely himself, decides to try and befriend him. Arahbaki seems annoyed with him at first, he even threatened the tiger a few times. But he never actually tried to hurt Atsushi. This in turn encourages Atsushi to continue to try and befriend him.

Arahbahki respects Atsushi’s bravery and determination, but he ends up falling in love with Atsushi’s  gentle nature. He admires Atsushi's strength to be kind even though life has not been kind to him. 

Meanwhile Atsushi see's the good in Arahabahki finds him honorable, intelligent, and to be so much more than the terrifying youkai that his reputation makes others think.

Eventually the two grow closer and closer until at some point their friendship grows into something more. 

Their friendship turns to love and they become partners in all things.

Arahbaki would protect Atsushi and their territory while Atsushi would heal him in return. 

But the world is not kind. 

Other Yokai learn of how Atsushi has “bewitched” the dangerous Arahbaki and worry that he would sick his lover on them out of revenge. 

(Now they don’t actually believe that Arahbaki cares about Atsushi, they just think the tiger somehow became his pet. Granted a well cared for pet but a pet none the less. 

In other words absolutely useless in the eyes of the other yokai.)

So in a mixture of jealousy, pettiness, and fear they decide to do something about it. 

They trick Atsushi into leaving Arabahki’s territory by using his own gentle nature against him.

(What I’m saying is that they beg Atsushi for “help” with saving their friend and Atsushi, even though he hated the way he was treated could not in good conscience ignore their pleas for help.)

They of course are assholes to Atsushi and hurt him, but instead of killing the young tiger yokai they decide to have him sealed away.

(Remember about how I mentioned that yokai are essentially energy? Well I imagine sealing a yokai requires a person to seriously hurt their physical body to near death before forcing the dying Yokai’s energy into some object or living thing. In this case I imagine that Atsushi would be sealed inside of a tree, cause I’m very unoriginal about this lol. ) 

So poor Atsushi terrified, hurt, and yearning for his lover gets sealed away unaware that he wouldn't see the light of day for centuries as he waits for someone to release him.

And the criminals who sealed Atsushi away make off their merry way satisfied that they would remain safe now that the tiger can no longer tattle on them while also being confident that Arahabaki would just get over having his “pet” run away.

Meanwhile Arahbahki gets worried about his lover so he searches for him until he finds where Atsushi was sealed.

Yea funny thing is that everyone knows Arahabaki is incredibly powerful and brutal yokai, but no one expects him to be actually intelligent or know how to hunt someone down. 

So when he finds the tree were his lover was sealed, he see’s too much blood for a yokai to survive, and senses Atsushi’s magic all around the area and well……he makes the assumption that someone murdered Atsushi.

This of course enrages Arahabahki and makes him curse the world that took Atsushi from him.

So in a fit of rage and hatred he begins to essentially destroy everything and everyone he can.

Mostly yokai since they are again the dominant species in the world and cause humans know when to run away. 

He doesn’t care if they are guilty, he doesn’t care that they are innocent. 

He is just in too much pain to care, too angry to think rationally. 

He continues and continues until he loses himself in his own madness and hatred. 

It all comes to a head when he does eventually take enough damage and “dies” while wiping out essentially the entire yokai population which gave humans the chance to rise and abilities to become more widespread. 

Going back to Atsushi he has been sealed away for centuries unaware of the world around him only to be awakened by Port mafia executive Dazai thanks to “No Longer Human” accidentally unsealing him.

Atsushi of course being terrified and confused latches on to the suicidal man like life raft in a turbulent ocean. 

Because as it turns out, thanks to being sealed for centuries, unless Atsushi really concentrates on his physical body he’s essentially a ghost to the humans around him with a few exceptions. 

Atsushi grieves the loss of the world he once known,  the man he loved, and tries to find a new reason to live by repaying the human who had unsealed him. 

(AKA: Atsushi becomes the reason why all of Dazai’s suicidal attempts fails but I’ll into that more into part two lol.) 

It all comes to ahead when Dazai goes to some executive meeting and brings Atsushi along with him (cause as far as Dazai is aware Atsushi can just hang out as a ghost).

Then Atsushi see’s Chuuya Nakahara and thanks to Arahbaki’s influence Chuuya see’s him. 

They both freeze. 

Atsushi because Chuuya looks exactly like Arahbaki and gives off the same energy as his past love.

And Chuuya because for the first time in his life the unstable energy inside him actually settles while looking at the pretty guy that Dazai brought in for the meeting.

Suffice to say Atsushi doesn’t hesitate to tackle hug Chuuya and absolutely break down. 

Meanwhile Chuuya is on a constant loop of WTF! He's blushing while wondering why he can’t use his ability on the pretty guy hugging him like a stuffed animal!

(Spoilers a small sentient part of Arahbahki that’s still alive in Chuuya refuses to hurt Atsushi in any capacity.) 

(And yes Dazai is also in on this WTF train but again I’ll explore on that more in part 2.)

_____________________________

And that's all I got for part one! I'll eventually write part two for the DazAtsu side of this Drabble but for now I hope ya'll are entertained!

[lightreader1]

Imagine feeling hungry, like really really hungry. And someone just happens to pass by you while holding your favourite food or any food for that matter but doesn't eat it. Like you have to watch in agonising hunger as someone else takes the food you want and dumps it or just abandons the food altogether. But unfortunately for you you don't have the skills or idea on how to make your own food

Well that's how I feel when you drop the most DELICIOUS ideas for dazatsu fics but then never hear about it again. I'm clutching my stomach and rolling around in pain because my incompetent ass is unable to even form a single paragraph let alone a whole book.

Lol I feel simultaneously flattered and guilty (sweat drops). I do empathize with your plight my friend, goodness know's that there are many story idea's that I want to read about but sadly do not exist (the alpha Chuuya x omega Atsushi idea comes to mind and it still baffles me that I have found no stories with that ship).

But sadly my brain can only hyper focus on a few things at a time so while I ramble my idea's I make no guarantees that I'll continue that line of thought or actually expand on it into a full story.

Although I am curious which idea's are you suffering so much to learn more/read about?

[lightreader1]

Fanfic idea  - Operation seduce a Tiger

Prompt: PM Boss Dazai tries to seduce Atsushi to the dark side but fails terribly.

Actual idea- So the idea is simple in this universe Dazai becomes the port mafia boss and Atsushi still gets brought into the agency. 

Personally I just love the idea of Yosano adopting Atsushi into the agency and taking him in as her protege (because Atsushi just wants to help people and does not want to fight if he can help it, though being Yosano’s assistant is rather violent in its own way lol).

Anyways during this time Atsushi still has a bounty on his head but doesn’t actually know who is considered the mafia since photos are rather limited (well except for Akutagawa because Kunikida has a photo).

But yea in general Yosano  keeps Atsushi close by since she understands his reluctance  using his ability especially since he’s got so much trauma attached to his tiger form. 

But things still happen and Atsushi has to use his ability to defend himself. 

This is where Dazai comes in.

 I imagine Dazai in this au learns about Atsushi because of his bounty and naturally becomes curious. 

He learns through the mafia’s resources all about Atsushi’s past and the possible abilities that he has with his tiger form. 

In his curiosity Dazai decides to meet the guy for himself and well, he falls hard for the tiger. 

Now he knows that the bounty could help expand the mafia’s influence buuuuut he’s far more interested in this sweet trusting young man who flusters so easily but will sass him with an unexpected confidence. 

He wants Atsushi by his side all the time, plain and simple. 

So when his executives ask why he’s around the Atsushi all the time he explains that he wants the tiger as a potential underling, so instead of forcing him into the mob through violent methods he’s gonna try to seduce him into the business.

And dear sweet Atsushi does fall for Dazai’s odd charms but will always reject his offer of double suicide or a job change. 

It comes to the point where they do start to date. 

And for a while everything is going really well.

Atsushi is really happy because of his newly found love life and Dazai keeps deluding himself into thinking that he is “just seducing the tiger” when he is actually falling in love.

But then Akutagawa fucks everything up because he thinks Dazai seducing the were tiger is a waste of his time.

I’m essentially remembering Atsushi and Akutagawa’s first meeting/fight but Akutagawa saying so much shit about how foolish Atsushi is. 

How Dazai had planned to seduce the were tiger, that the relationship is all fake, that Dazai-san is probably getting tired of putting up an act and that he’ll just sell Atsushi for the mafia’s sake. 

You know just Akutagawa ripping Atsushi’s heart to shreds like he ripped off his leg during their fight. 

And the fight continues the same way in cannon all the way until Dazai intervene’s. 

On one hand he got to see Atsushi’s tiger form which is gorgeous, and gosh he wants to see Atsushi’s tiger side more! He wants to encourage him to use his strength instead of fearing it!

(Plus he would look adorable with his little tiger ears and tail! XD )

But on the other hand he’s pissed because not only did Atsushi get hurt but Akutagawa ruined his “plan”!  Now he has to figure out a way to explain himself to Atsushi without getting dumped in the process!

At this point he doesn’t care if Atsushi joins the mafia anymore, he’ll happily protect him even if he’s part of the ADA.

He just doesn’t want Atsushi to hate him!

[lightreader1]

Please please please please please please write that dazai x atsushi x chuuya yokai book. It's such a lovely idea and I'm soooo here for it. Please, I'm begging you please please please please please. Please?

Hi! Wow first time I got asked lol. Though I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disappoint you friend. I'm already working on one story called "Of Monsters and Men" and although I really like my yokai au idea I feel like I can only concentrate on writing one thing at a time. But feel free to explore and try writing the story if you love it this much! Goodness knows I'm also starving for some Dazai x Atsushi x Chuuya stories! Anyways thanks for the ask and I'll update in the future if I ever have a change of heart. : D

Fanfic idea  - Yokai au

Prompt: Atsushi is the pretty princess in distress

Actual idea- So essentially this is an au where the world is filled with mystical creatures fighting for land, power, and status. Think of a more magical edo Japan where life kinda sucks to be a human and yokai try to fight/claim territory so they can have humans give them tributes so they won’t destroy them. Some yokai want booze, others jewels, and others humans (sometimes to eat, marry, or just keep around as servant). 

Atsushi is of course the odd one out of his village because of his eyes and hair. People in general treat him like crap because they believe he has some demonic heritage so of course they think to use him as a sacrifice for the yokai that rules their land. (AKA: they are jealous and believe his hair and eyes are some sort of witchcraft.)

(Maybe Atsushi has some rare demon heritage maybe not. Personally I just love the idea of Atsushi just being a super pretty feminine dude who people refuse to believe is human cause of his looks.) Anyways the villagers offer up Atsushi to get slaughtered or possibly enslaved by the demon in charge of their region but instead of getting sacrificed to the yokai  Dazai (a nine tailed fox demon because of course) tricks the villagers and snatches Atsushi away instead. I imagine Dazai just transforms to look like the boss demon and takes Atsushi.

And honestly I have so many thoughts on what could be the reason why Dazai does this. 

Perhaps Dazai thought Atsushi was just a really pretty lady?

Perhaps he just wanted to piss the boss demon off?

Perhaps Atsushi gained his favor at some-point in life and decided that villagers deserved to be destroyed after abusing his favorite little human?

Honestly so many possibilities. 

In any case Dazai basically plays a huge game of keep away with Atsushi as the prize and they travel all around Japan while the Boss demon hunts after them because their pride demands they get Atsushi back.

I like to go on these lines of thoughts while also imagining who the Boss demon could be.

Like if its Shibusawa (who is a Dragon of course) was the boss demon that could make a great story cause he’s such a great antagonist.  

But personally I find the idea of Chuuya (who is an Oni) being the boss demon, because that would be more hilarious. 

I’m just imagining how Chuuya was supposed to get Atsushi and thus tries to hunt Dazai and kick his ass because his pride demands it. Because while he would have originally preferred booze as his tribute he just can’t let that bastard of a fox steal from him!

And then Chuuya actually see’s Atsushi and wants him even more.

Because by demon standards Atsushi is like a stupidly rare basically impossible to find Shiny Pokemon, he looks like demon but is human WTF!!!!

Both Dazai and Chuuya know it but Atsushi is just tired of their bullshit.

I mean I could imagine the interaction between the three going something like this: 

 Chuuya: Oi you shitty bastard what do you think your doing! That human is mine! 

(Dazai smirks and drapes himself over a confused and kinda scared Atsushi) 

Dazai: Ah but I got Atsushi-kun first, you shouldn’t have been so slow to claim your tributes slug.

(Dazai nuzzles his cheek against Atsushi's like an overly affectionate cat before giving Chuuya a malicious smile)

Dazai: He’s mine now. 

(Chuuya who looks sufficiently pissed stomps forward and looks up at that stupid fox)

Chuuya: Oh screw you, you fish eyes towl rag! The human is mine so I’m taking him where he belongs! 

(Chuuya tries to grab Atsushi's wrist but one of Dazai's tails stop him)

Dazai: Oh I’d love to see you try you child sized ogre! 

(Dazai pushes Atsushi behind him, and poor Atsushi looks nervous but also a little annoyed)

Atsushi: Do I get a say in this? 

Dazai & Chuuya: No! And poor Atsushi is just watching these two powerful creatures fight over him like starving animals wanting a meal. So he takes a deep breath and leaves to the nearest village to take a break from their bullshit.

Fanfic idea  - Red string of fate au

Prompt: Dazai does not want to share

Actual idea- 

So I love red string of fate au's, they are always fun and whimsical but also so ripe for tragedy. 

And lately I had the thought of my own version of the au. 

Essentially in this au everyone has someone they are connected to through their red string of fate. 

The relationship can be platonic or romantic it just depends on how the two individuals react to each other. 

The catch is that Dazai is the only one who can see these string’s because of his ability “No Longer Human”. 

Dazai has seen enough red strings in his life time to understand the rules of the string and that once a string is cut a new string can never take its place. 

His original soulmate was Odasaku (who was his platonic soulmate). 

So as you can imagine once Dazai’s red string shriveled up and died so did his hopes for his future happiness. 

(Cause ya know its Dazai) 

Cue several years later and he meets Atsushi. 

Everything goes the same way in cannon except for one thing in this au. 

Atsushi already has a red string and it’s connected to someone somewhere in the world. 

But Dazai watches in fascination as a new string emerges from his own hand and attaches onto Atsushi’s other hand. 

For a few seconds he’s mentally freaking out since this goes against everything he’s ever observed! How the hell did he attach himself onto this random homeless orphan?!

He’s surprised, confused, but most of all (after processing this new information) delighted! Cause he’s got another chance at happiness! 

So of course he tries his best to make sure Atsushi and his relationship is great. 

He doesn’t want to replace Odasaku so platonic soulmate is a no go. 

But that is not a problem because Atsushi is cute, funny, entertaining, and he loves how Atsushi doesn’t take his shit but always surprises him with his sincerity and unshakable faith in him.

So yea Dazai is extremely happy with his new soulmate. 

Which makes Dazai question who is Atsushi’s original soulmate!?

In my head there can only be two options for Atsushi’s original soul mate.

The option that makes sense:

Akutagawa- cause you know this makes sense in cannon. Like Dazai see’s how Atsushi’s red string connects to him and is right off the bat trying to nip any romantic feelings in the bud. So Dazai tries to set up their rivalry so they can develop a more platonic relationship. 

Just ya know Dazai is purposely manipulating the situation in his favor cause like hell is he gonna share Atsushi with Akutagawa in any romantic sense. 

Then there is the second option and personally the one I love most because it’s hilarious. 

Chuuya- I imagine that at some point Dazai tries to follow Atsushi’s original string of fate and is horrified to find Chuuya at the end of it.

Because you know in his own head it makes sense that fate would F him over like that to give him Atsushi but have Atsushi be somehow connected to the guy he hates most in the world. 

XD 

For a moment I can imagine Dazai losing his composure and just gagging when he see’s Chuuya at the end of the Atsushi’s string and Chuuya wondering WTF is going on with Dazai. 

So of course going forward Dazai tries his absolute best to prevent Chuuya and Atsushi from meeting each other. 

Cause he doesn’t want to share with Chuuya in any capacity.

Dazai already lost one soulmate and he is a selfish bastard, so he is perfectly fine with stealing Atsushi away from the slug.

Except there is one problem. Dazai has a habit of glaring at both Atsushi and Chuuya’s hands where their string connects. 

Atsushi is confused and asks Dazai about it, but Dazai just plays it off before flirting with him. 

(Usually by kissing the hand where his string is attached to Atsushi)

But Chuuya, Chuuya fucking clocks it because he knows Dazai and  his abilities. 

He knows that Dazai can see people’s red strings cause he’s used it in the mafia, hell he told Chuuya outright that he has his own string which is proof enough for the demon prodigy that Chuuya is human. 

So why the fuck is Dazai glaring at his string like it was an abomination to society?

Fanfic idea  - Jealous drunken Chuuya x Drunken cat Atsushi

Prompt: As described Atsushi and Chuuya get drunk and comedy ensues

Actual idea- 

So I’m imagining thats its sometime in the future during a cherry blossom viewing.

Everyone is getting drunk and having a great time but cue Atsushi and Chuuya getting drunk.

Turns out a drunken Atsushi acts really silly, like everyone keeps referring to him as a cat and asks him to bring out his tail and ears. Ya know silly stuff but at some point drunken Atsushi just starts acting like complete cat and starts cuddling up to people he likes. You know partially cause he’s drunk and he’s just instinctually scent marking people like an actual cat. 

This all comes to a point where he starts cuddling up to Dazai which triggers the next event.

Which is a jealous drunken Chuuya.

You know in my head Chuuya already found Atsushi to be really cute at the beginning of the night before the tiger ears and tail came out. 

Atusshi is just adorable and Chuuya immediately wants to get to know him more but denies himself since he doesn’t want Dazai to be an ass about it.

Well a few hours later drunken Chuuya gets jealous that the cute weretiger is cuddling up to Dazai. 

Cause ya know Dazai is the worst and in Chuuya’s mind doesn’t deserve to have an adorable creature cuddling up to him and being affectionate. 

So in his drunken jealous wisdom Chuuya thinks its a great idea to go over there and just grab Atsushi and say that Dazai doesn’t deserve to have a cute cat before walking back over to the port mafia side while a confused but still drunk Atsushi just kinda shrugs and continues to act like a cat. 

Just ya know:

Angry drunken Chuuya (clutching Atsushi like a child would a plush toy): “O-oi this cat is mine now! F-fuck off  you Shitty Mackrel!”

Atsushi (who is now slightly confused but unbothered just makes chuffing sounds before cuddling into this new persons neck and nuzzling their cheek like an overly affectionate cat.)
