ok so life has been kind of busy but I wanted to let you know that I absolutely adore every tidbit of black hole time fuckery. Know that I’m absolutely thinking about it like all the time. Do you think that when 16!Chuuya learns that Dazai is a detective he’ll think about Detective Murase and how Murase promised Chuuya to show him the light but never got the chance to?

(I went back to check what you responded last time and it seems Murase is alive for now). On that note do you think 22!Chuuya will try to keep Murase alive so that 16!Chuuya will have a shit at leaving the mafia?

I also have this image of 16!Chuuya and Ranpo getting along (idk why and it would be a funny contrast to 22!Chuuya). Like I’d figure Ranpo would deduce a good bit of what going on with Chuuya with one look and like be a quiet ? space for Chuuya when he gets overwhelmed. Like and the image of Ranpo giving 16!Chuuya a piece of candy to make Chuuya feel better like he did with Kyoka just seems adorable lol. I would also like to like Kenji would take an immediate liking to him as he did his adult counterpart. On that note can I ask how you think the agency would interact with Chuuya? Ahhhhhh. Ujendjdbdkdhndndbd. I’m so hooked lol. Anyway hope your doing well!

HI WELCOME BACK MOMENTS <3<3

i get life being busy, i soooo feel that. but hearing that you're thinking about my silly little fic makes me so happy you have no idea

16Chuuya is absolutely going to be reminded of Murase! he's the only detective he knows well, after all! though you are right; 16Chuuya doesn't actually know all of Verlaine's plans yet bc he learns them from Adam after the fact. the only ones he knows about now are the Flags :/ but that's still quite the blow to the poor child

and of COURSE 22Chuuya is going to do everything he can to fuck with the timeline I MEAN save Murase. he wasn't strong enough to protect him the first time, along with the fact that he hadn't yet realized that Murase was even a target until it was too late. but now, Chuuya is a lot more steady and confident in his abilities, knows better what he's capable of, and he'll be entering the fight with a better idea of what Verlaine is capable of! i'm so excited to write Verlaine seeing and dealing with 22Chuuya you have no idea

also YES he ADA with 16Chuuya is one of the things that really inspired a lot of this fic so i cannot wait to play with all of their dynamics!!! i don't know that Ranpo will necessarily be a "quiet" place for Chuuya, but Chuuya at 16 has less of a handle on his ability to hide what he's thinking, plus having just met Verlaine means that Ranpo will be able to (and also willing to, since i don't think he would have even considered analyzing 22Chuuya) look into him more, his character, his past, and figure out what's going on with him. so Ranpo will have somewhat of an understanding with Chuuya and i live for them having some sort of odd friendship that the rest of the ADA doesn't really understand all too well

the "quiet" place will probably actually come more from Kunikida! who is another person i adore the idea of Chuuya eventually coming to have an interesting friendship with. but also, i think Kunikida's past as a teacher means that he has more of a protective inclination towards kids and while he can be cruel to them (re: trying to keep Atsushi from recruiting Kyouka) a mixture of Chuuya's situation and Dazai's own protectiveness of him will soften Kunikida some. and he may not really LIKE harboring a child that at this point was already part of the Port Mafia, he'll still be a begrudging safe place for him

i also love the idea of Chuuya having always just been really good with people younger than him bc of being "king" of the Sheep, so he is obviously going to take a liking to Kenji and probably Kyouka as well lmao, trying to take them under his wing even though they certainly don't need his protection simply because he's still used to having to protect the kids from the Sheep (and Dazai is absolutely going to feel his heart break some seeing this reaction, because Chuuya is only a year out of being the Sheep's protector and old habits die hard)

that said, things will certainly be a little tense on the ADAs side at the start because obviously even if he's 16, Chuuya was no less of a threat back then and he WAS still Port Mafia. and they still remember him at 22 as well. but they'll get over it <3 Chuuya and ADA bonding will definitely happen <3<3

i am once again rambling skdhfsh but anyway i am always excited to see you pop in, especially cus you get me thinking hard about this AU every time you do and i get even more excited to write more of it
