Prompt #1195

"You're pretty annoying."

"Oh my god, you think I'm pretty?"

"And that's the annoying part."

[mytragedyperson]

For me, I don't know the characters but I'll remember the lines from incorrect quotes and be like "oh, that's where that came from!" which is equally fun

Atsushi still worries.

From the second he learns he's about to turn into a tiger, until the second he does, he panics.

He might not be able to hurt Nishimoto, but what if he gets out? What if someone else comes here? What if he hurts someone?

And then the moon is out. And Atsushi doesn't think anything at all as Byakko emerges and takes control.

Nishimoto drops his Ability, knowing he won't need it for this. Animals and children can see spirits and elements of the realm of the dead even without Toru's ability. Byakko will stil sense him.

Byakko is immediately tense upon sensing his presence. He growls threateningly.

When the presence doesn't leave, Byakko pounces, and soon he's chasing the man around the warehouse.

Toru dodges swipes of large paws and being pounced on for a while.

Byakko appears to be having fun now, especially when his paw just goes through Toru.

"Come on, Byakko. I know it's been a while since you could actually do this." Toru calls out gently. He pauses and reaches out a hand.

Byakko sniffs at the hand then nudges it. Toru grins as he starts to pet Byakko. "You took care of Atsushi for me?" Toru coos. "Thank you."

For the rest of the night Toru plays with Byakko and pets him until he tires himself out and falls asleep.

Toru waits until Byakko fades, leaving a tuckered out Atsushi. Toru sighs and sits next to him, stroking a gentle hand over his hair. "Go to sleep, 'Sushi. I'm right here. You're safe now." He murmurs softly.

Atsushi looks even younger when he sleeps.

12 years old. Atsushi is 12 years old and he's already been through so much and felt so much pain. No more. Toru will protect Atsushi no matter what. And Byakko too. He'll make sure they're never again caged or hurt. They're his to protect now.

An AU of my AU. Same ghost OC as before but I wanted to write a version of him who learned of his ability earlier and basically used it to look after and protect Atsushi to the best of his ability. Once again, this wasn't really planned so let's just see where this goes.

You can make requests, either in the comments or in my asks

You can also make requests for other drabbles. To see what I'll write, check out my pinned posts. Requests don't need to include OCs and can be canon character x canon character or a crossover

If the request is related to this or another existing work (as I plan to do more), make that obvious so that I don't do it as a separate standalone thing.

If you read and enjoyed this, thank you. That means a lot. If you thought this was out of character, you're probably right. We'll chalk it up to being an AU. even though that actually has nothing to do with it. This is just how I wanted to write about it.

Also, in this version of the AU, Dazai can nullify him, so yeah, expect hijinks as he tries to avoid making contact with with Dazai.

Please note: this does not follow canon, even when it seems like it might. There will be hijinks, but I'll also try not to make them too OOC.

[mytragedyperson]

Isn't this literally what happened to Oikawa specifically with milk bread? Or did I just hear that one line too many times?

character: says “I like bread” that one time

fandom: character has an obsession with bread. bread is character’s true love. draws character as bread. every meta joke in fanfic is about bread. the character’s room is wallpapered with bread

Atsushi snaps out of his shock, only to realise they're already out of the orphanage. He looks around, bewildered. As far as he knows, he's never left the orphanage. He looks at Toru.

"We're already out?" He asks, surprised.

Toru nods and offers a comforting smile. "We're out." He assures. "Come on. We should get some medicine for your wounds, maybe clothes that actually fit." Toru suggests. It's lucky he remembered to swipe some money from the headmaster when he'd stolen the keys for Atsushi's cage. He had no money since it was stolen.

Atsushi stares at him. "How are you back?" He asks.

Toru looks at him. He hesitates. He doesn't want to lie to him, he doesn't want to be like the orphanage. "I'll tell you but not yet. We should be safe first."

"Okay." Atsushi nods.

Toru ducks into the first clothes store he sees and heads straight for the kids' section. "See anything you like?"

Atsushi looked up at him and slowly shook his head. He'd never been asked what he liked before.

Toru nods. "Okay. Well, how about we can get something simple this and next time, you pick out anything you want, okay?" He suggests.

Atsushi nods. "Okay."

After they buy some Atsushi some cheap, simple clothes, they go on to buy some first aid stuff, and Nishimoto takes the time to patch up his injuries. He looked outside.

They'd have to move quick. Toru didn't know how aggressive the tiger would be, so he'd have to get Atsushi away from people. He couldn't let Atsushi hurt anyone. Not only would Atsushi never forgive himself, but people would come after him, either wanting his Ability for themselves or in a misguided attempt at justice.

So, Nishimoto took him to an area he knew to be abandoned. He ushered Atsushi inside an abandoned warehouse. Atsushi turns to him nervously.

Nishimoto takes a second to lock up the warehouse and make it secure. Atsushi watches him, scared. "You're staying?" the 12 year old Atsushi asks.

"I am. This is going to be scary for you, and I don't know how the tiger will react but... I want to be here when you come back." Toru murumurs.

Atsushi looks down. "Is this why they treated me like that? Said I was bad, that I didn't deserve love, that I didn't deserve to cry, that the world would be better if I died?"

Nishimoto gritted his teeth. He regretted not making the headmaster suffer before they left. But Atsushi was his priority.

"They're wrong, 'Sushi. Just because they said it doesn't mean it's true." Toru crouched down. "... not everyone has abilities like yours. In fact most of them don't. So having an ability makes you different. And people don't like different, they don't understand different. And we often fear what we don't understand. But that doesn't make them right. You're not evil, you're not wrong. You do deserve love. You're not going to die, not if I can stop it. And now I finally can."

Atsushi looks up at him. "What if... I hurt you."

Nishimoto hesitates, thinking. But it's not time yet. But if he doesn't tell him... He sighs. He won't lie to him or keep secrets from him, even if this will hurt. He needs to know.

"You can't hurt me." Toru says.

Atsushi looks confused.

Toru holds out a hand. When Atsushi tries to take it, his hand just goes through. Atsushi's eyes widen. He's not dumb and that's not exactly subtle.

Atsushi looks up. Nishimoto is more see through now, but his smile is still calm and gentle, his eyes still bright green, his hair still fiery orange.

"You..." Atsushi breathes.

"I'm sorry, Atsushi. I really wanted to get you out of there a better way but... this is the best I could do." Nishimoto murmurs.

"How are you here?" Atsushi asks.

Toru answers simply. "I have an ability too." He's about to say more when he notices how dark it's getting. "I promise I'll answer all your questions tomorrow, but for now, all you need to know, is I'm here and you won't hurt me."

Atsushi nods. "Okay." He then reaches forward and grabs his hand. He frowns as he realises how cold he is. "You'll really stay?" He looks up at Toru.

Toru smiles softly and nods. "As long as you need."

Hello, can I ask from this ask game :

https://www.tumblr.com/threecheersforinking/677824836625694720/anime-ask-game?source=share

https://www.tumblr.com/rafael-silva/90297624190/send-me-a-fandom?source=share

For anime/manga : Haikyuu, Kuroko no Basket & Bungou Stray Dogs?

Oh, do you mind if I send you Ask Game specific for Hq, KnB, & BSD?

Thank you for your ask. Yes, feel free to send me an Ask Game specific for Hq, KnB & BSD.

Before I begin, please remember these are just my opinions. I'm sure you'll be all be chill when I answer this, but just throwing that out there.

Also, don't take it too personally if I say I don't like/hate your ship. Chances are I don't actually hate it, it's just my least favourite. There are very few ships I actually hate.

I'll start with this one

Favorite Character:

Bugou Stray Dogs _ either Dazai or Ranpo. These two are my favourites and they're constantly battling for top spot in my favourite BSD characters list. I've discussed this before. Anything I say would mostly be repeating myself. But yeah, they're my fvourite characters, which I'm pretty sure is a basic answer, but there may just be a reason for that.

KnB - Slightly harder. I think it might actually be Kagami. Listen, does he give me second hand embarrassment? Yes, so does everyone else, but honestly considering they're supposed to be in high school, that kinda works for them. And Kagami, just, he's so awkward and thinks he's so cool and suave, and he can be at times, but mostky he's just a guy, a guy who loves basketball and can jump high, and I love him so much.

Haikyuu: Again slightly harder. Look, Kageyama is the one I talk most about, he's my profile picture, i do love him. But is he actually my favourite or do I just relate to him in some ways and wanna give him a hug? I'll add him here because he is one of my favourites, but my absolute favourite? I'd say Kenma. Look, Kenma is a big part of why I even wanted to watch Haikyuu, I'll get to that later. Before I even knew who Kageyama was, I already loved Kenma. (He wasn't the only one, Kuroo, Bokuto, I think Akaashi and Tendou also fall under this umbrella of characters I liked before I even watched Haikyuu properly). So yeah, Kenma. Kenma can go here as a representation of these characters.

Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene:

BSD - Okay, instead of trying to pick one, I'm gonna pick one for each season because otherwise, I'm probably going to fey my brain trying to pick just one for this anime. So, season 1, the Kyouka stuff. Like pretty much anything to do with her and Atsushi was sad but also really cute and I'm so glad they managed to save her, even if safety and happiness may still be somewhat illusive. There was a lot going on season 1, but this kinda stands out more. Season 2, I think I'll go with the Akutagawa and Atsushi fighting Fitzgerald. Again a lot was going on, but I think this whole thing, Atsushi just trying to stop the whale so Yokohama doesn't get destroyed, Akutagawa "going rogues" (as Dazai wanted him to and expected him to and planned for him to) and also just... being there, not to stop Fitzgerald. that was an afterthought at best. He went to fight Atsushi. And then the fight itself and Fitzgerald's ability. I love it. Season 3 - Junichiro attempts to assassinate Mori and is caught because of his blood lust. Also honorable mention: Ranpo tricks Chuuya and traps him in the book. Season 4 - Ranpo and Fukuzawa's backstory that culminates with them creating the Armed Detective Agency. Season 5 - Honestly so much happens this season. It would be really easy to just say Meursalt, everything that happens there, but for a slightly more underrated moment, Kenji vs Tetcho. I don't know if that is actually underrated but it's at least talked about it less and I actually really enjoyed it. Honestly Tetcho as a character I really like. I kinda like all the Hunting Dogs.

Haikyuu - Sorry Haikyuu fans. You won't be getting as many because it was slightly easier to pin down a favourite moment (based on the first 3 seasons,I... still never got around to watching anything that happens after that). Tsuskishima training with The Squad (You know the ones) and this culminating in him managing to somewhat block Tsukishima. Also extra shoutout to Yamaguchi for helping to knock some sense into him during this too. I'll never understand people who reduce their relationship/friendship to Yamaguchi: says literally anything. Tsukishima: Urusai, Yamaguchi. Yamaguchi: Gomen, tsukki. Like that doesn't happen that often. Also it's such a reductive way to view their relationship. Tsukishima is like the one person we see Yamaguchi stand up to. Because he can, but I digress. This whole Tsukishima arc is just wonderful to see. It honestly feels like a real team effort to get Tsukishima to give a fuck and slowly but surely, it works. Also, a lot of the real gems from the English dub comes from this arc so, you know, love. Also most of my favourite characters are here.

KnB- I think I have to say the second match between Seirin and Touou. The one where Aomine and Kagami bothe enter the zone. The zone is one of my favourite parts of KnB, I just find it really cool honestly, and this is the first time or one of the first times we see it. Also I love Aomine and Kagami. I also love Kuroko and Aomine. And Kuroko and Kagami of course. And Momoi is there. I just love it because I feel like this there was a bit of bitterness towardsw Kagami, he didn't really take him seriously, he was more jealous of Kagami's friendship with Kagami. After this Aomine has some level of respect for him and this is the start of the friendship side of their friendly rivalry. It's also possibly the start of Aomine falling back in love with basketball as a sport though that is admittedly more my thing. I just think this match in particular is so important for Kagami, Kuroko, Aomine and their relationships with each other. So yeah, I think if we're talking favourite moment, I've got to go with Touou vs Seirin 2.

Character I Think is Underrated:

Haikyuu: Honestly there's quite a few. Asahi is up there. So is Yamaguchi. But honestly? Most underrated? I think I have to go with Tanaka. He was literally there from their first days in Karasuno, was one of the first people to help them, their first other teammate. He's such an important character. Him and Noya work together to keep everyone's spirits up, but I feel like he's often pushed to the side as just the comic relief character. And yes, he's funny, but there's so much more to him than that. He's the one who goes head to head with Kyoutani when he's brought out to play. He's so protective of his teammates, all of them. When Hinata and Kageyama have to redo a test so are going to be late for one of their training camps, Tanaka is the one who has a solution for that, his sister. I'll probably have more to say on this when I watch season 4 and beyond, which I do plan to do soon. But I feel like I don't hear people talk about Tanaka near as much as other characters, and when they do it's usually shipping him with Kiyoko and Ennoshita, but he's so much more than that. I swear one day, I'm going to sit down and make a series of posts about Haikyuu characters in canon because there are so many who only talk about these characters in the context of shipping. And you know what? That's fine. Shipping is fun. I like shipping these characters too. But I feel like sometimes we get so carried away with shipping, that we stop looking at them as individual characters, or we get so caught up in headcanons that we forget their canon characters. I'm guilty of this too but yeah. Sorry for the rant. TLDR: Tanaka is one of the most underrated characters in this show.

Bungou Stray Dogs - Junichiro Tanizaki. I've talked about him before. I've said my piece on him. If I get even one "But incest" comment I will go insane, because guess what, "but incest" doesn't stop him being a badass. Actually his relationship with Naomi and his protectiveness over her is what turns him into a badass. Every time, someone hurts or even thinks about hurting Naomi, his immediate response is murder. They forfeit their right to live. And every time it's so cool. I also love his ability even if I don't fully understand it. And then when Naomi's not in danger, he basically turns into a polite little cinnamon roll. I feel like, you know the allignment charact of looks like cinnamon roll but could kill you thing. I feel like he's like a cinnamon roll that cold kill you. I don't know man. I just, I kinda love this character, and I feel like people focus so much on the incest. If any of the other characters did something similar to him, I feel like the fandom would never shut up about it. "remember that time Atsushi got shot by Higuchi, so Dazai strangled her?" "Remember that time Ranpo got Lovecraft and Steinbeck ran over?" "Remember when Kyouka was sent to assassinate the port mafia boss?" But I feel like I've never heard anyone talk about this? Maybe I just wasn't in the fandom at the time or was on the wrong side of the fandom but... Junichiro is so cool, dude.

KnB - So this is harder mostly because most of the characters I remember and know the names of seem to be well liked. In a way I feel like Momoi Stasuki is kinda underrated. We don't see a lot of her but I really like her character. I like how much she cares. I like that, even though Momoi has a crush on Kuroko, she chooses to still stay with Aomine, her oldest friend I do believe. Friendship means more to her than her romantic feelings. She still likes Kuroko but... she understands that Aomine needs her more. And she's so smart. Like, it would've been so easy to make her genuinely ditzy and dumb but they don't. Similarly, Riko Aida. She's so focused on her goals, and she never loses sight of those goals. She's willing to do what it takes but she still seems to care about her players. She's a very strong presence and I love her assertiveness. Also this seems like it's been a lifelong dream, to coach her own team, and I can appreciate her ambition. So yeah, maybe these two.

Character I Think is Overrated:

BSD- Fukuchi. I'm kidding. I just like making fun of him. Also I don't know if he's highly rated anyway. Um, but seriously, most overrated BSD character? I don't actually know. I can't really think of a popular character I don't like. Most of the characters, in general I like. I guess Mori. Or maybe Fukuzawa. They're probably the two like popular characters I personally care about least. But even then, i still like them and do think they're very important and I still care about them. So yeah, I guess these two. But really the answer is none of them.

Haikyuu - Hey, I can just cheat on this one and say Atsumu or Skausa because I never watched the bit they're in so I never met them. On the other hand, Lev. Listen I don't know how we feel about Lev but I just... don't really care about him and I've seen him in enough Haikyuu text videos and chatfic fanfics that he must be somewhat popular. I don't necessarily hate Lev, I just don't really care about him either.

KnB - Another hard one because, again, I like most of the characters. But if I had to chose one, I guess Akashi. I don't know if it's just because he was the last one to be introduced, but I feel like I rolled my eyes a decent amount of times during his match. I don't actually think he's a bad or unimportant character. Quite the opposite. I think he's arguably one of the most important characters. This is just my petty revenge for making me hear him say "I am absolute" about fifty times. I'd do the same to Aomine for saying "no one can beat me but me" about the same amount of times, but no one would believe I think Aomine is actually overrated.

Favorite Ship/Pairing:

KnB: Remember I said no one would believe I think Aomine is overrated? yeah him and Kagami. And it's not even entirely fanfiction based this time. Cheers for everyone. So yeah. I love me some rivals/enemies to lovers and I just think... these two. Honestly there's not much I can say about this one. I just think they're neat and other such old memes. Just... I love them. I just think they're so important to each other's character development, you know? And Kagami clearly respects Aomine, and Aomine grows to respect him. Usually when something related to Kagami needs to be explained, it's Aomine explaining it, at least after the second match I mentioned earlier. And I just think in a way, they would get a long. They have a decent amount in common and I do think they have chemistry.

Bungou Stray Dogs - Ranpo x Poe. A pretty basic answer, i know, but it's one of the most popular ships for a reason. There's other characters where I ship other people with the people in that ship. These two, I think I only actively ship them romantically with each other. they are pretty much canon to me. I'm sorry, Poe is Ranpo's number one fan. Also there's just something so cute about them. They just love each other. I know they do. Also they somehow manage to be one of the least toxic ships here so they get bonus points for that.

Haikyuu: If we're talking strictly based on canon, it's still hard, but easier than when we bring ships of characters who, to our knowledge never met, so for this one, I'll stick with characters who actually had a conversation. That's still hard because I ship basically everything. I won't allow poly ships either because if I get into that, it will never end. So two characters, who actually met in canon, that I ship more than others? And brain empty. Okay, I'll go with the first ship that popped into my brain, so this is subject to change depending on the day, but my Haikyuu ship of the day is Kuroken. Friends to lovers works for me. People who say Kenma would straight up ignore him simply weren't watching the same show. I don't know where they got that. Kuroo clearly enjoys teasing him. Also just Kenma deserves good things and Kuroo is very good to him. so yeah, Haikyuu ship of the day.

Something I Love About the Show/Movie:

KnB - I'm gonna try and avoid discussing things / people I already discussed in earlier bits, so something I love that I haven't discussed yet? The entire character of Kise, and also when he, Kagami and Kuroko played against those bully guys, not in the movie, in the show after their practice match against Kise. They're on a street court and see some random dudes being bullied. Kuroko goes to confront the bullies, Kagami and Kise go to make sure he doesn't get beat up and they end up destroying them in a game. Pretty sure those guys come back on another volleyball team and forfeit when they see Kagami and Kuroko (maybe just Kagami, idk if they saw Kuroko). That moment but Kise in general. He reminds me of Oikawa but more friendly. Honestly from the second I saw him, I loved him. That only grew.

Haikyuu - This might sound dumb and kinda vague but... the volleyball matches themselves. Like this was my first sports anime, it's really because of this anime that I watched more. And I was never the biggest sports fan but I loved it. I got so invested in every game, mostly because of the characters. I cared about the games because I cared about the characters. But I'd get genuinely pumped and excited watching the matches. It was great. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the games but I really did.

Bungou Stray Dogs - The Abilities. Like they're not all abilities you really see often. But they're all kinda interesting. Like the fact that Yosano can heal people but only specifically if they're right about to die, so sometimes she has to do more damage to a person in order to heal them. Kunikida being able to write stuff down like a weapon and then have that page he wrote it on become the thing but only if it's as big as his notebook. Oda having the ability to see into the future but only by a few seconds, so if he's already fallen for a trap before he sees the future, he's screwed. Also, slightly related to this, the insanity that is whatever Lovecraft is and Chuuya being a vessel for a god. Like this show is insane and I love it.

And now this one

The first character I first fell in love with: 

Haikyuu - Kenma. So when I first was learning about Haikyuu it was from the old Haikyuu text videos and YouTube and I wanted to know who these characters were but I knew it was a volleyball anime, so I wanted to know if it was worth watching, so I watched some compilations of the English dub and some character compilations. Kenma was the first one of them I really latched onto. In a way Kenma is the whole reason I decided to watch the show. So yeah, I loved him before I even really knew him.

BSD - I was gonna say Dazai and it very well could've been, I did like Dazai. But then there's Ranpo and I did love him from the second he was introduced. Thus we reach the conundrum of them fighting for top place. I think for this one I'll go with Dazai, purely because he was introduced first, but I do love Ranpo.

KnB - Kagami. I'm sorry, was I ever supposed to say anything else. I said Kagami was probably my favourite. That doesn't come from nothing. Kuroko's great, Kise is great, but Kagami is everything, and so he is my favourite.

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: 

Haikyuu - Kageyama. We've been over this. I liked him and kinda related to him but didn't love him. Read some fanfics, watched more of the show, grew to love him, whatever. Optional alternate answer for another character who I haven't talked about this quite as much for: Tsukishima. Again, never hated him or anything but he honestly became one of my favourite characters, he's definitely in my top 10, and that was not what I expected when I first saw him.

Bungou Stray Dogs: Yosano Akiko. I didn't really know how I felt about her. I wasn't really a fan of how they first presented her ability and made it sexual for no reason. But then the train episode happens and I was like 'oh this is cool'. But when I really grew to love her was when we found out her backstory, her past with Mori. I've kinda loved her ever since. She deserves so much better.

KnB - Underrated fave Takao, underrated even by me. He was kind of a background character. I liked him but he's honestly probably one of my favourite characters. I can't quite explain why but he is, and I like his relationship with Midorima. I really like their dynamic.

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: 

Haikyuu - Probably Hinata himself. Look I don't hate him or anything. He's a fine character, i do think he's admirable. He's a great character and I like him. I just don't love him. And to be fair.. this might be more a fanfiction thing than a canon thing but, yeah, he's not one of my favourite characters. Also in my defense there's not many like sunshine-y characters I love. I like them, i don't necessarily hate them, but... yeah. There's no one in this show I hate though, but the question was character everyone loves but I don't, not about hatred so idk.

Bungou Stray Dogs: I don't know. I can't think of anyone everyone loves that I don't. Ango, maybe? How do we feel about Ango? I don't hate him, I just don't care about him. Short answer but it's the best I can do. There's not really a character I hate or anything.

KnB - Again, pretty sure I like all the popular people in this anime. I genuinely can't think of one I dislike. You have to understand, as long as you entertain me and don't hurt my favourite character, I'll like the character. I guess by that rule I'd have to say Akashi but I don't hate Akashi.

The character I love that everyone else hates: 

Bungou Stray Dogs: Fitzgerald. I don't actually know if everyone (or even anyone) hates him, but he was the first to pop to my mind for this question. I actually quite like him. This is less hates, and more I don't hear anyone talk about him in general. because I don't know who the BSD fandom actually hates.

For Haikyuu and KnB - i can't think of anyone the fandom hates. But I like most of the characters I met on my way to season 3 of Haikyuu and all of Knb. Sorry another cop out answer but, yeah.

The character I used to love but don’t any longer:

I don't really have one for any of these animes. I don't really stop loving characters. At least not that I can think of. Sorry if that's a copout but that's just how it is. If I love a character, I'll always love that character. If I grow to not like character, I probably didn't like them that much in the first place. The opposite can happen, me going from hating to liking or loving a character, but love to not even liking? Not really. I have a bias. I will not ignore their wrongs, but just won't care as much.

The character I would totally smooch: 

Haikyuu: Surprisingly to even myself, the first person I thought of was Daichi. I'm sorry, he'd kiss so well and you can't tell me otherwise. Like, you want gentle, soft kisses? You got is. You want rougher kisses? You got it. So yeah, Daichi defeinitely.

Bungou Stray Dogs: Slightly harder. I don't feel especially attracted to any of these characters, really. But if I had to pick one, maybe Mark Twain. He was hot. Also when I was trying to process of elimination this bitch I was just like not them, not them nah not them, so yeah, Mark Twain I guess. Or maybe Tetchou.

KnB - Again, not esepecially attracted to anyone. But you know what? Fuck it, Kise. I'll go for the pretty boy. Might as well. Plus I love Kise so yeah him.

The character I’d slap: 

Haikyuu - Oikawa. Listen, I love Oikawa but if I met this guy in real life, he would piss me off and I would end up slapping him eventually. Or at least I'd think about it but not actually do it.

BsD - Similarly, Dazai. Listen this is another case where I love the character as a character but if I met someone like that in real life I'd hate them. Ranpo, too. I'd find him annoying and obnoxious. They're entertaining as fictional characters but in real life they'd piss me off.

KnB - Aomine. Aomine definitely.

A pairing that I love:

Haikyuu - Bokuaka. Cute fluffy ships. Once read in another life and the sad Kuroken fic back to back a couple years ago. Also I love Akaashi's sassiness towards Bokuto and Kuroo during the training camp but he still cares about Bokuto. And I love them, even if I do think they sometimes aren't written how I see them. But that's fine. All interpretations are valid.

KnB - I already used Aomine x Kagami, so, a second ship I love is Midorima x Takao. They're cute, I like them. Midorima needs someone who accepts him as he is, oddities and all, and Takao does that in a way you don't often see from the others.

BSD - Again, used Ranpoe. Don't feel like getting doxxed so won't use my real second favourite. Um, Sigma x Dazai feels safe. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a little Soukouku but Sigma and Dazai I just really liked in the last season so I'll go with them.

A pairing that I despise: 

Disclaimer: Despise is a strong word. I don't despise any ship. So this is less 'if you ship this, you're dumb and I hate you' and more 'I personally don't ship this/see where this ship comes from, but if you do, good for you'. If it's your favourite ship, please note that this is merely my opininon.

BSD - Fukuzawa / Mori. I'm sorry, I know some of you see them as a divorced married couple and maybe they are but Fukuzawa deserves so much better. Similarly, I don't ship Fukuzawa and Fukuchi for similar reasons. I just don't see it.

KnB - Akashi x Kuroko. Again, I don't hate it. I just never really saw the appeal. I ship Kuroko more with Kise, Kagami and Aomine than I do Akashi. Akashi I don't particularly ship with anyone. Again I just don't see it.

Haikyuu: There's not really a ship I hate here. I guess Hinata and Kageyama? Like, I like them as friends, i can read fics of them being together, I do see the appeal. I just personally don't ship them romantically unless it's like a poly ship with the other first years. Again, don't hate it, just not one of my personal ships.

And with that, we are done.

Thank you for your ask.

My asks are always open if anyone wants to ask anything about any of these shows, or any of the shows on my pinned post.

I recently started writing drabbles. So far they've only been for BSD, but if you want to make a requests, check out my pinned post to see what I'm willing to write for.

Continuation of: 1

This wasn't how Nishimoto had planned for this happened. Six years ago, the orphanage had kicked him out and ever since, he'd been setting things up to eventually adopt Atsushi. He'd gotten qualifications, become a teacher, found somewhere to live. He'd been ready.

And then, on his way home from the school he worked at he'd been mugged by some wannabe gangsters.

He'd put up a fight, of course he had, but in the end he'd been outnumbered.

He still wasn't sure how he was able to do this, be seen when he was a ghost, interact with the living world. His best guess was that it was somehow related to his Ability.

When he was alive, his ability allowed him to interact with the dead, ghosts. That was why he "talked to himself" and the drawings he'd done as a kid had often been the ghosts he saw. He'd been able to talk to them and touched him. He was able to control his ability but he chose to keep it always on.

Because beneath the sadness, and anger, and jealousy, those ghosts all had one thing in common. They were all hopelessly lonely.

Toru's best guess was that his ability was more than that. He wasn't just able to talk to ghosts. Instead, his ability allowed him to bridge the world of the living with the realm of the dead. Which meant, even when he was dead, he could communicate with the living. He wondered if he'd be able to help the living see other ghosts now. He couldn't when he tried before.

The problem was, everyone knew he was dead by now. It had been on the news for everything.

He spared an apologetic thought for his more unfortunate students. The ones that were bullied or lonely and came to him for comfort. But he could only be in one place at once, and Atsushi needed him more. He could only hope Kunikida could forgive him one day.

The bigger problem was that the dead, strangely enough, couldn't exactly adopt children, or officially own homes.

Still Toru refused to let Atsushi stay here even a second longer. He'd suffered enough. They'd find a way. Toru would keep him safe. The most important thing was getting out of here.

The rest could come later, including letting Atsushi know he was technically dead. Yeah that was a conversation he wasn't looking forward to. Then again, if he was a ghost, stealing would be easy enough. No one would think to blame a dead guy, and Atsushi wouldn't be close enough to be a suspect.

He guessed this was it. It was time to get Atsushi out of here.

When Atsushi finished eating, Toru unlocked his cage with the keys he stole from the headmaster.

Immediately, Atsushi threw himself at Toru, hugging him, as if making sure he was real. It was a good thing Toru's Ability allowed him to touch the living as well as talk to the living. Toru hugged him. "Come on, we have to move quick. We need to be out of here before nightfall. I'm not so sure your tiger form will follow me."

Atsushi paused then pulled away, looking up at him, confused. "My what?"

"Your tiger form. You know your ability?" Toru paused then sighed. "Of course they didn't tell you. Okay, long story short, you have an ability. You turn into a tiger under the moonlight. I don't know if it's only on a full moon or not. I also don't know if you could learn to control it and use it at other times. But nonetheless, we need to get out of here and to somewhere safe because it's a full moon tonight."

Atsushi blinked, processing this information, as Toru grabs his hand and starts to lead him out of the orphanage, unseen. Atsushi follows, dazed.

An AU of my AU. Same ghost OC as before but I wanted to write a version of him who learned of his ability earlier and basically used it to look after and protect Atsushi to the best of his ability. Once again, this wasn't really planned so let's just see where this goes.

You can make requests, either in the comments or in my asks

You can also make requests for other drabbles. To see what I'll write, check out my pinned posts. Requests don't need to include OCs and can be canon character x canon character or a crossover

If the request is related to this or another existing work (as I plan to do more), make that obvious so that I don't do it as a separate standalone thing.

If you read and enjoyed this, thank you. That means a lot. If you thought this was out of character, you're probably right. We'll chalk it up to being an AU. even though that actually has nothing to do with it. This is just how I wanted to write about it.

Also, in this version of the AU, Dazai can nullify him, so yeah, expect hijinks as he tries to avoid making contact with with Dazai.

Please note: this does not follow canon, even when it seems like it might. There will be hijinks, but I'll also try not to make them too OOC.

Atsushi Nakajima had never had an easy life. Growing up in an abusive orphanage, with an Ability he didn't know he had, had not been an experience he'd wish upon even his worst enemy.

He'd been unaware of his Ability, or maybe more of a curse. He turned into a tiger in the moonlight. This caused a lot of trouble for the orphanage and, as a result for him, too.

The orphanage hated him for his ability, but they didn't want him knowing he had an ability.

They abused him. He never knew why.

The kids hated him too.

All except one. One of the older kids, called Nishimoto Toru. From the time he got to the orphanage to the age of six, Toru was the only person he had who actually cared about him

Nishimoto protected him to the best of his abilities. He was only a child himself when Atsushi was left at the orphanage as a baby, 12 years old. And from the second Toru saw him, he knew he was different too. And in this orphanage, different was a very bad thing to be.

He tried to protect him from adults and kids alike, and often got punished for it, but he could only be in one place at a time.

Nishimoto himself had never been very popular. Maybe it was because he talked to himself a lot, or maybe the strange drawings he drew. Or maybe it was his impossibly bright green eyes, so bright they looked like they were glowing. Atsushi found them comforting, everyone else found them eerie.

When he couldn't protect Atsushi, he was there for the aftermath, sneaking him food and water, patching up injuries, comforting Atsushi, giving him medicine when he was sick.

A couple of times, he even managed to sneak him books and toys. He was the one who taught Atsushi to read an write, at least the basics. He taught Atsushi a lot.

And then, when Atsushi was six, Toru turned 18. He was immediately kicked out of the orphanage. He didn't even get to say goodbye, at least not in person. But he'd expected this. The orphanage didn't like him any more than they liked Atsushi, and that dislike, the hatred, had only grown when he'd started looking after Atsushi. They didn't waste any time getting rid of him when they had the chance.

But Toru was ready, and the night he left, he snuck down to the cage they kept Atsushi in and left him a note.

Atsushi cried when he read it. Toru was gone. He was sure he'd never see Toru again. That he was lying in his note. And for six years, he was right, he didn't see him.

And then one day, he reappeared, out of the blue. Atsushi was 12 when it happened, the same age Toru was when they first met. It was a normal day. Atsushi had been beaten again and thrown in his cage, left to starve, when suddenly a hand appeared, pushing some food towards him. Atsushi looked over and his eyes widened when he saw him, obviously older but clearly him. Atsushi would recognise those eyes anywhere.

"Toru?" He breathed, surprised. It had been so long Atsushi had almost started to believe the workers at the orphanage when they told him Toru wasn't real, that Atsushi made him up. Atsushi knows they were lying.

"Hi, 'tsushi" Toru greets with that familiar kind smile. "Did you get my note?" His tone is teasing.

"You're back" Atsushi breathes.

"I told you I would be. You didn't doubt me, did you?" Toru teases.

Atsushi crawls over to the bars of the cage. "Does that mean-"

"Yes, Atsushi. Eat up. Your last meal here. It's time to leave."

Atsushi does as he says, feeling hope for the first time in six years.

He gets to leave.

Currently reading first one mentioned and loving it, so just so I don't forget.

No, but seriously the first one is super cute and I love them already.

Cute but mostly funny BL

1. Uncanny Charm: An unhinged sarcastic MC finds himself a medium boyfriend while searching for his lost brother. This manhwa is perfection: interesting and original plot, cute main couple, and both ML and MC have intriguing backstories. But the best thing is the comedy, from the MC's dry humour to the memes quoted. Also ML is hot in a subtle way. I don't know if it's the earring or the blue hair but it works.

2. The Scent of You (completed): I love this bl cause I feel represented by the ML being a nerd with childhood trauma. I'm joking (not really) but ML is a cutie and MC is one of the funniest main characters I've ever read thanks to him being completely unapologetic. It starts with the main couple being more of a funny duo than anything but it ends with them being the loveliest couple.

3. The Boy Who Stole From the Fairy Lake 1° season (completed): MC is my pfp for a reason; he's a cutie who just wants to run away from his psychotic brother. Not much to say about this one just that I love the dynamic between the chaotic MC and the ML being done but also in love with him. I just put the first season cause in the second one the main couple changed and I couldn't really get into them.

4. I Ship My Rival x Me (Ongoing): In this manhua both MC and ML are chaotically dumb in the best way possible. Even though there are so many misunderstandings to keep the story going it's not a bother cause you just want to see MC and ML flirt their way out of everything.

It takes quite a while for Atsushi to calm down from sobbing. Nishimoto, Toru, holds him the entire time, running a gentle hand over his hair and whispering soothing words.

At some point Nishimoto sits in Atsushi's seat and sits him on his lap, just holding him, until eventually he falls asleep, hugging him.

This all, of course, looks very strange to everyone but Dazai who still can't see Nishimoto, so to them it looks more like Atsushi is floating.

Nishimoto seems as surprised as them that he's able to do those things but is too busy trying to comfort Atsushi to comment on it.

Atsushi refuses to let go, even in his sleep, as if he's afraid he'll disappear the second he does so. Which, considering he's a ghost, is kind of understandable.

Kyouka cautiously moves closer. She can't see the ghost but... Atsushi is upset. She hates seeing Atsushi upset.

Dazai watches as Nishimoto glances towards her, unsure.

"We know this isn't my ability, and it's not Atsushi's. Is this normal for ghosts?" Dazai asks.

"No. I've never seen this before." Nishimoto answers honestly.

"... Could it be coming from you?" Dazai asks.

Nishimoto pauses. "I don't know. If it is, I didn't know." He looks at Kyouka, takes in her concern for Atsushi. "This is Kyouka, right?"

Dazai goes to answer for her but Kyouka suddenly looks straight at him, seemingly having heard him. She doesn't gasp, but her eyes do widen in surprise, which is basically the same.

"Yes. I'm Kyouka Izumi. You're... I believe Dazai-san called you Nishimoto Toru." She answers simply.

"You can see me?" Nishimoto asks. Kyouka nods. She takes in his messy orange hair and his bright green eyes, his kind face and strong arms.

"You know Atsushi-kun."

"I did." Nishimoto nods. "A long time ago."

Kyouka nods but doesn't ask more questions.

"It's me, isn't it? I'm somehow letting you see me." Nishimoto looks to Dazai.

He nods. "Yes."

"So... all this time... all these years... I could've helped him, protected him, spoken to him..." Nishimoto begins to rant, realisation starting to hit.

Dazai doesn't answer. Kyouka wouldn't know how if I tried.

"I didn't know." Nishimoto glances sadly at Atsushi.

"He'd forgive you." Kyouka says, with a certainty she feels in her soul. "In fact, he wouldn't even think there's anything to forgive."

Nishimoto glances towards Kunikida, who's staring back at him.

This time Dazai sees it happen, a faint green glow around his form, as he gazes at Kunikida.

Kunikida stares, shocked, as suddenly he sees him. Nishimoto. He looks exactly the same as he did back then, the last time Kunikida saw him. He knows that shouldn't be a surprise. The last time he saw Nishimoto was the day he died. But seeing him now, realising he's only two years older than Kunikida himself, and will always be that young age. That Kunikida will age and he won't...

Nishimoto smiles a soft gentle thing. "Kunikida-kun."

"Nishimoto-sensei" Kunikida chokes out. Nishimoto doesn't seem to notices the gasps as suddenly everyone in the Armed Detective Agency can see him. He still doesn't really understand how this ability works.

"I'm sorry. If I'd known sooner, I would've come to you long ago. There's something I've been meaning to tell you." Nishimoto states.

"What?" Kunikida asks. He doesn't know why but he suddenly feels nervous. Which is ridiculous. He's a grown man. He's not that same teenager who was bullied by his classmates and found refuge with the kind teacher's aide.

"I'm so proud of you for the young man you've become. You've accomplished so much and somehow remained the kind, good young man you always were. Well done, Kunikida. You've done well. And I look forward to seeing you do more incredible things."

Kunikida found himself straightening, chest swelling with pride. "Thank you, sensei."

"I'm not your teacher anymore, Kunikida." Nishimoto reminds with a sad smile.

"Respectfully, sensei, you'll always be my teacher. You showed me the exact kind of man I wanted to be. Many of my ideals for the person i want to be were shaped by you." Kunikida responds.

Nishimoto smiles and nods. "Very well then. I suppose, if you still want to call me sensei, you can."

Also, a little something about No Longer Human for this AU. I’m pretty sure Dazai can control how much of an ability he nullifies, since the first time he nullifies Atsushi’s tiger, he leaves one of his arms a tiger paw as evidence for when he wakes up, so I’m running on the assumption that No Longer Human has something of an on/off switch and Dazai can choose if, when and how much of an ability will be nullified. If that's not canon, it is now.

I feel dumb why did I not know Harry was gay? Or at least strongly implied to be so? Or bisexual? Either way he's attracted to men, though he does seem to have been attracted to Donna too so maybe bi with a preference for men. Not sure of the exact label but I digress. I just never noticed that.

[mytragedyperson]

Continuation of: 1, 2, 3, 4

Atsushi has a hard time relaxing after finding out Dazai is seeing and talking to a ghost.

It's not really him, at least not his human form. He's never really feared ghosts. The living had caused a lot more harm to him than the dead, and that remained true to this day.

The tiger, however, that was a different story. It could very much sense the presence of something otherworldly and was on edge as a result.

None of this was helped by Dazai's one-sided conversation with the ghost. The tiger always had been uneasy around Dazai, Atsushi had always assumed this was because on touch from Dazai could nullify the tiger. Now he had to wonder if it was because of this ghost.

Still, Atsushi tried to stay focused on work, even if it was hard with Byakko growling in his mind.

He couldn't do it.

This wasn't helped by the thought that kept bouncing back to his mind.

"Hey, do you think if I activated only the tiger's eyes, I could see Nishimoto too?" Atsushi asks suddenly, unable to hold in the curious question any longer.

"Yes" Ranpo answered, offering no further explanation.

Kunikida spluttered.

Dazai looked over curiously. "We could try."

Atsushi nods and does just that, activating only the tiger's eyes.

Immediately he sees him. He sees all of them but he only focuses on one. It's a surprisingly familiar face, older than when Atsushi last saw it.

Atsushi lets out a choked gasp. "Toru."

"Hello, Atsushi. I see you managed to find a family. I'm glad." The man, Toru, spoke.

Atsushi hadn't seen that face since he was really young. Toru (because he hadn't had a last name back then, or if he did, Atsushi hadn't known it) had been at the same orphanage as Atsushi. He was older than Atsushi, in fact he'd been one of the older kids there.

He always tried to take care of the younger kids. Even Atsushi. Especially Atsushi.

Atsushi knew he wasn't meant to, but the older boy had always snuck to see him. He brought him food, patched up any injured, took care of Atsushi when he was sick. Sometimes, he just spoke to him, like a person, like he was any other child from the orphanage.

He'd never been adopted, he'd simply turned 18 and been kicked out, as was the way with the orphanage. Atsushi hadn't seen him or heard anything about him since. And yet Atsushi knew it was him.

He'd remember those impossibly bright green eyes anywhere. Atsushi always had wondered what happened to him. He was sad to see it was this.

Atsushi felt himself tear up. "You died."

Nishimoto- no, Toru, he'd always been Toru to Atsushi - nods sadly. "I did. I'm sorry I broke my promise to come back for you, to get you out of there."

Atsushi somehow feels both impossibly sad and somehow relieved, and even more guilty for feeling relieved. Because this means Toru never gave up on him, never abandoned him, never forgot about him. And Atsushi feels impossibly selfish for feeling that way. He no longer feels like an 18 year old member of the armed Detective Agency. He feels like the small, young, abused child he was when he knew Toru, when Toru was alive.

He sobbed, and Toru was there.

The tiger growled in Atsushi's mind, but Atsushi knew Toru wasn't a threat. He never had been. Not to him.

"Hey, it's okay, 'sushi. I'm here now. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you before. But I'm here now." Toru soothes. Atsushi can tell Toru wants to hug him, to comfort him, but he can't figure out how.

Kunikida watches in shock, as does the rest of the armed Detective Agency. None of them expected this.

Only Dazai can see and hear what's happening with Atsushi and Nishimoto. He meets eyes with Kunikida who looks floored. He's opens his mouth to say something though he's unsure what, but he doesn't get chance.

Toru gives in and wraps his arms around Atsushi, only to be surprised when it actually works, when he actually manages to touch him. Atsushi only cried harder as he hugs Toru back. It's been so long since Toru, or anyone really, actually hugged him. And Toru always had the warmest hugs. he always made Atsushi feel safe. The tiger stopped growling in his head, and then started to purr contentedly.

Dazai stares, blinking bewilderedly. Okay, so he wasn't expecting that. "You can touch people?!"

You know what's fun about this part? Literally none of this was pre-planned. This started from the idea of "what if Atsushi activates the tiger's eyes and sees him?" Why does Atsushi know him now? I don't know. Also, if you're confused by the timeline/ages when things happened, so was I, so I took a break to try and make it work. I think I just about managed to make it work. If you'd like to see that, for clarification of when I think things happened, let me know.

Also, fun fact: Originally no one was supposed to know him. He was just a random ghost. Now Kunikida and Atsushi knew him when he was alive.

[mytragedyperson]

Continuation of: 1, 2, 3

The meeting doesn't last much longer after that, no one quite sure what to make of this.

Dazai's the only one who can see Nishimoto. Atsushi's tiger can sense it, but the boy himself can't see it. Kunikida offers no explanation for his reaction to the name.

The Armed Detective Agency return to their office, and Kunikida throws himself back into paperwork. He can't deal with this, he doesn't know where to even begin. Everyone else follows his lead. Everyone except Dazai of course.

Dazai sits across across from Nishimoto, eyes narrowed. "Why does he know you?"

"He knew me before I died." Nishimoto answers, as he sits across from him, meeting his eyes.

"So, I can see ghosts now" Dazai muses.

“You can’t see ghosts, Dazai” The man shook his head.

“Yes I can. I can see you, and you’re a ghost.”

“Dazai, seeing one ghost doesn’t mean you have the ability to see all ghosts. Or hear them.”

“How do you know?” Dazai challenges.

"Because you can't hear them." Nishimoto answers, looking around Dazai.

Dazai somehow isn't surprised. He's killed or lead to the deaths of a lot of people. It's not too crazy to think some would stick aroun for revenged.

Still, he stares.

"There's so many of them. And they're so loud. I don't know why you can see and hear me, but i know it's not because you can see or talk to ghosts." Nishimoto claims.

"Is it all people I hurt?" Dazai asks curiously.

Nishimoto looks right next to him. His eyes soften. "No, it's not just people you hurt."

Dazai doesn't ask who Nishimoto sees. He has a feeling he knows. He puts his headphones in and listens to his double suicide song.

Nishimoto turns to watch Kunikida, proud of how far he's comefrom when Nishimoto knew him.

Should I post everything I put on AO3 on Tumblr too? Or should I just leave it on AO3?

Most of it so far is Bungou Stray Dogs and Haikyuu content, but there are some ideas for crossovers in the works. Some of it is oneshots that I just put together for the sake of not having just a bunch of random oneshots, but some is multichapter connected fics.

Also, if I did this, should I tag my spanking oneshots with the spanking tag or just include a content warning for spanking?

Content warning: Mentions of bullying (nothing specific but yeah, bullying mentioned), also character death (the ghost OC)

Growing up, Kunikida had never been the most popular guy. It wasn't so much because of his Ability, because his Ability was fairly easy to hide and control even before he met Fukuzawa.

Harder to hide was his strict focus on his ideals. He liked having a schedule, he liked sticking to that schedule, and he didn't like anything that got in the way of that.

His classmates growing up (he... hadn't really had friends) had not been the nicest about this. Quite the opposite. They insulted him, made fun of pretty much everything about him. They called him names, and spread rumors about him.

It was rarely physical bullying. But rarely doesn't mean never.

He knows some would say Dazai does the same, but... Dazai isn't trying to hurt him or upset him. Not really. He just wants to annoy him because that's what Dazai does. He prods and teases and hakes fun. But Kunikida knows Dazai has some level of respect for him.

The kids at his old school didn't. And his teachers didn't care and didn't help.

There was only one person who tried to help young Kunikida when other kids would gang up on him and bully him. One of the teacher's aides, a young man called Nishimoto Toru.

He was young, only 24, and fairly lively and energetic young man. He wanted to become a teacher because he wanted to help people but not as a doctor or police. He wanted to help children. He wanted to teach children. He wanted to watch them grow up into decent members of society and know he'd played at least a part in it.

He was the only adult at that school who bothered to intervene when Kunikida was being harrased.

He was the only one who told the other kids to leave him alone. The only one who patched Kunikida up the few times the bullying got physical.

He was... kind. He hated to see students alone. He hated seeing people get bullied. And he hated the systems that allowed this to happen.

Kunikida would eat with him sometimes. He had no friends and Nishimoto mad him feel safe. He made him feel like just a normal person. They'd talk about books they enjoyed. Nishimoto apparently was something of a suprenatural fiction fan. Kunikida would talk to him about poetry. He wasn't as well versed in this so Kunikida would recommend poetry books or specific poems.

He was always shocked when Nishimoto proved he'd actually read said recommended books.

He knew he wasn't the only one. Most of the students who'd experienced bullying tended to eat with Nishimoto at times. He protected them from bullies just by being there.

He also never hesitated to give kids detention when he caught them bullying others.

More than that Kunikida respected him for his kindness and his accepting nature. Kunikida had slipped up once, accidentally activated his Ability during class. Most of his classmates hadn't even noticed.

Sadly, the ones who did took it as just another thing to pick on him for.

Nishimoto had seen this too, but he hadn't treated him any differently. He had asked about his ability but it was more from curiosity than anything. Kunikida had been hesitant to answer but he'd answered anyway. Other than that, nothing changed.

Though sometimes Nishimoto would ask a question that would have Kunikida trying new things with his Ability so he could give him an answer, or because he wanted to know himself. He learned a lot about his Ability this way.

And then it happened. The worst part was how sudden it was. Kunikida went to school one day and Nishimoto wasn't there. This was unusual for Nishimoto but Kunikida assumed he was sick.

Until he was on his way home and saw the news. Nishimoto Toru was dead. Killed on his way home the night before in an assumed mugging attempt. There was signs of a struggle, a fight. But he'd been outnumbered and that was that.

Kunikida had... struggled briefly after that, and not just because the bullying got worse after Nishimoto was gone.

Nishimoto was a big part of why Kunikida became a teacher before joining the Armed Detective Agency. He wanted to be more like him.

The thing was Kunikida had never told anyone about this, had never told anyone about Nishimoto Toru or the fact he was bullied.

Was there a chance Dazai had researched him and somehow found that name? Yes.

But Kunikida didn't think Dazai would joke about this, even if he did.

So hearing the name. "Nishimoto Toru," fall from his mouth...

Kunikida froze. His face went several shades paler. He stared, wide-eyed at that spot. He hadn't thought of that kind, accepting, protective teacher's aide in a while.

Somehow he knew Dazai was telling the truth.

He was here.

And Kunikida had already known he was dead.

You can make requests, either in the comments or in my asks

You can also make requests for other drabbles. To see what I'll write, check out my pinned posts. Requests don't need to include OCs and can be canon character x canon character or a crossover

If the request is related to this or another existing work (as I plan to do more), make that obvious so that I don't do it as a separate standalone thing.

If you read and enjoyed this, thank you. That means a lot. If you thought this was out of character, you're probably right. We'll chalk it up to being an AU. even though that actually has nothing to do with it. This is just how I wanted to write about it.

Also, a little something about No Longer Human for this AU. I’m pretty sure Dazai can control how much of an ability he nullifies, since the first time he nullifies Atsushi’s tiger, he leaves one of his arms a tiger paw as evidence for when he wakes up, so I’m running on the assumption that No Longer Human has something of an on/off switch and Dazai can choose if, when and how much of an ability will be nullified. If that's not canon, it is now.

Continuation of: 1

It was difficult to explain why exactly he'd suddenly denied flirting to no one right after bickering with Kunikida and Chuuya, and even harder to explain the whole ghost thing.

It didn't help that he was still stood there.

Dazai could see that some were sceptical, and Kunikida was clearly waiting for him to admit it was prank or a joke. Apparently no one else could see him.

"A ghost?" Atsushi asks confused.

"I think so" Dazai admits.

"You're right. I'm very dead. It's so tragic. I have only other ghosts to talk to and most of them are either very angry or very sad." The man claims,

"Huh, I wonder if that's why Byakko has been acting weird" Atsushi ponders.

"Probably. Animals see ghosts or sense them better than humans, animals and children." The man nods.

Dazai glances at him. "He says that probably is the case. Apparently animals and children sense ghosts better."

"He's still there?" Chuuya asks, curiously.

"Yes." Dazai nods, eyes roaming the man's ghostly form. He's trying to see if there's any sign of how he died but he can't. The ghost stares back, those bright green eyes staring at him.

"What's his name?" Kunikida asks. It's a challenge. He doesn't believe him.

"Nishimoto Toru." The man claims.

Dazai repeats it.

Kunikida goes pale. His eyes widen. He looks where Dazai is still looking at the man.

Ranpo notices the reaction. So does Dazai. (Mori, too, but he doesn't really care.)

Somehow, that one answer seems to convince Kunikida this is real. he doesn't ask another question.
