Summary
A teasing smile. "Ideals, huh?"
It doesn't hold the same viciousness as his earlier remark; not amiable, exactly, but thawed. Almost amused. The stranger shrugs, and, after a moment, ends up taking the seat next to him, hands still firmly stuck in his hoodie pockets.
Kunikida takes the opportunity to observe his new companion. They look nice in the venue's ruby light. The color matches their hair; crimson red curls that frame his face perfectly. Whoever they are, there's something dangerous about them—he's not sure why, or what, but his instincts scream at him, and there's a reason Kunikida's survived Yokohama's backstreets for so long. The kind of person you shouldn't mess with. Still, Kunikida can't suppress his curiosity.

"'M okay, mosshead," he wheezes out.
"You're a shit liar, is what you are," Zoro retorts.
After an attack leaves Sanji injured, Zoro has to get them both back to the Going Merry. It goes about as well as one might expect.

“Something’s wrong with you,” Zoro said over the pounding rain. It wasn’t a question.

Summary
In the end, it took a very short amount of time for his coworkers to warm up to Akutagawa. Maybe Atsushi shouldn't have been surprised—the Agency had a habit of befriending those from rival groups. Lucy and Kyouka were proof of that. Even Dazai had once been an enemy to the Armed Detective Agency. And he was pretty sure Sigma was joining, too.
So, yes, having a mafioso around was nothing new. Just… Akutagawa, of all people?
(Sometimes—grey eyes burning into the back of his head as he works; a heavy, knowing stare—Atsushi doesn't know how to feel about Akutagawa's presence. What do you do when the person who hates you, who despises your very existence, dies for you?
What do you do when they come back?)
Or: Post-Decay of Angels, Akutagawa begins hanging around the Armed Detective Agency more, and Atsushi can't figure out why.

Summary
"It's the cage, alright?" Atsushi hisses. It isn't as biting as he intended—glass shards seemed to stick in his throat, cutting off his air supply. "This stupid cage that they put us in. It reminds me of him—of what he did. Okay?"
A moment of silence. And then, quieter: "He caged you?"

Summary
Kunikida grumbled something under his breath. His eyes were closed, head nestled on top of Dazai's shoulder, in the crook of his neck. They had finished wrapping the wound, but everything still hurt, and Dazai watched as his nose scrunched up from the pain.
Dazai's grin relaxed into something softer as he looked down at Kunikida. It wasn't often that Kunikida relaxed this much around him, letting himself be vulnerable. A little quieter, he said: "You know, there's still enough time to take a nap. A good night's sleep isn't so bad sometimes."
Late at night, in the aftermath of a case, Dazai and Kunikida take the train home.
(Written for Day 1 of Dazai Birthday Week.)

Summary
"It’s Belle."
Ranpo couldn't contain his laughter. Mouth hanging open, Dazai stared at Kunikida with an expression of utmost betrayal. "Belle? "
"Yes! She's a valid choice," Kunikida said defensively. "Now, I'm going back to work, and I suggest you do the same." With that, the sound of typing started up again. And then—
"What's a Disney Princess?"
Or: Atsushi has never seen a Disney movie before. The Armed Detective Agency intends to change that.

Summary
"Everyone has nightmares," Dazai says—and of course he would know what happened. The bastard was too good at reading him. "Especially after the shitshow that was the last few months." He hesitates for a moment, before continuing. "It's fine to not be okay, Kunikida. But it's over now."
If only it was that easy. Kunikida frowns. "I know that."
Dazai meets his gaze. "Do you?"
The Decay of Angels have been defeated, and Kunikida still can't sleep.

Summary
Atsushi hated pain. The Orphanage had subjected him to years and years of it, through hammers and knives and cold water and hot pokers and nights spent on his knees, scrubbing at the floors, blood blossoming on his palms. He hated it.
But in the early hours of the morning—shooting out of bed, wrapping his arms around himself, tight, as if they would protect him from the man in the corner that spewed poisonous words and harsh glares, cold and dissecting, memories clawing at him even now, threatening to destroy him—the first thing he did was grab at his hair and pull.

It was entirely new.
It meant that she was moving up in ranks. Meaning that she couldn't mess this up.Or: Ability user and gang member Arikawa Hiro is assigned to infiltrate a mafia stronghold and runs into two strange teenagers.

Summary
They aren't partners yet—not in the way Dazai had been with Chuuya, not in the way Kunikida had been with someone from his past, someone whose name Dazai didn't know, but their lingering presence he could still see the imprint of. But they were getting there.
Or: Dazai on Kunikida, rooftop conversations, and new beginnings.

Summary
Sitting at his desk is Kunikida. He's exchanged paper reports for digital—something that Dazai would need to figure out later, because he knows his partner, and Kunikida does not adjust his habits so easily—and types away fastidiously, dedicated as ever.
From where he stands at the door, Dazai can see his hands trembling.
After the Decay of Angels are defeated, Dazai returns to the Armed Detective Agency.

Summary
"C'mon! We should look over there." Bliss colors Dazai's tone as he stares off to the left, toward a suspended clothing rack. "The ribbons on that dress look perfect for hanging myself. Too bad there isn't a beautiful woman here to do a double suicide with…"
"You're not hanging yourself in this store, dickhead. Now actually pick out some clean clothes. You already look like a mummy, you don't need to look like an extra from some low-budget horror movie, too."
Post-Meursault, Chuuya, Dazai, and Sigma go shopping. (Or: Sigskk begin their Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad European Road Trip.)

Summary
For the first time, Atsushi had completely and utterly failed a mission.
He would have to be punished. The President was powerful, he knew—years of experience had taught Atsushi how to tell, how to know where a blow would land. The President was kind, too, but surely there would be some consequences for this. That was how it worked.
Atsushi's hands did not shake. They weren't allowed to. He dug his fingernails into his palms and felt the pain spike in them. (The feeling matched the wound on his side, slowly healing with the help of Byakko, red staining his clothes.) It numbed him, and when he released his fist, he could feel sticky blood on his palm. It would prepare him for what was to come.
Or: Fukuzawa Yukuchi is not the Headmaster.

Summary
Children like you don't get to cry, the Headmaster in his head whispers, and he's not sure if it's the Headmaster saying it or himself, he's not sure which is worse.
He is not in the Orphanage. He's not. He's free, now, he's gone, the Headmaster is gone, or at least far away from him, and Atsushi, curled up in the closet, the whirring of the fan sputtering in his ear, a reminder that he's not there anymore, doesn't know what to do.
Leaving had never been an option. Only the good children got adopted—And Atsushi, as he knew, was not a good child. Cruel smiles, cruel hands, cruel words shouted across cold stone floors taught him that. And then he'd been kicked out, and he'd found a alleyway of stray cats and someone kind enough to take him in, and now…
Atsushi isn't at the Orphanage anymore, but its effects still linger. (Or: Five times Kunikida's care confused Atsushi, one time he realized why, and another time Kunikida had to deal with his own past.)

Summary
After five years of knowing Edwin, Charles would say that he's gotten to know his partner very well. But there were many quirks and secrets of Edwin's that Charles just couldn't figure out. The most random one, he thought, was the fear of dolls.
Early on in their careers as the Dead Boy Detectives, Edwin and Charles receive a case: to exorcise an old doll shop down the road. It ends up being more difficult than they thought. (Or: 70 years in Hell doesn’t come without trauma, and recovery is a process.)

Summary
The years went on. He got older, and learned to keep his struggles to himself. Learned to hide the bruises and broken bones and tune out the whispers of how can you not know that and are you really that stupid? Learned to fade into the background, keep his head down, sink into the cold grays of his life. And then he left the orphanage, and saved a man, and suddenly, things changed.
Atsushi has dyscalculia, and the orphanage is not a kind place.

Summary
It is only in the aftermath, when Aya runs to him, crying into his shoulder, that Kunikida realizes what has happened. (Or: That one tumblr post about how Fyodor's appearance comes with the implication that Dazai was killed.)
