<- Day 25: Secret | Day 26: No Powers AU | Day 27: Love ->

some close ups and about the AU:

Frankly, I had been thinking about this AU long before I even decided to draw it for today's prompt. Of course, Dazai is an ex-assassin (taking on Sakamoto's role in this case), while Atsushi is the retail worker he fell in love with and promptly married (Atsushi being Aoi). They don’t have a child together, but they have Kyouka, who is a mix between Lu and Hana’s characters.

She was the daughter of the Izumi family (this world's equivalent of a Triad family), but after her parents were killed, she was supposed to be taken in by a "family friend." However, she ran away before that could happen. Atsushi, who had just lost his adoptive father at the time, found her beaten and bruised. He took her in, fed her, and she became his so-called sister. This all happened before Dazai even entered Atsushi’s life.

Then there’s Akutagawa, who takes on Shin’s role. He was searching for Dazai not only because he had been given a hit on the man, but also to prove that he had grown stronger and could stand on his own. He was promptly defeated, and because of the mess he caused, he was roped into cleaning the store—eventually joining as a worker.

In this AU, Dazai's appearance changes not because he deliberately tries to disguise himself, but purely due to self-care. During his assassin days, he was heavily depressed more so than usual. His hair was black because it was filthy, and straight because it was greasy. His complexion was pale due to malnutrition, and he always carried a weird smell of fish. In short, his hygiene was terrible, a direct result of his depression and his willingness to do nothing but rot. His mental state dragged him down, worsening even further after the death of someone he cared about. However, over the years, his depression has improved. While it hasn’t completely disappeared and he still struggles with suicidal tendencies, this is the best he has felt in a decade; he’s much happier now. That said, his past mental state and struggles should not define him as a person. Back then, he was constantly surrounded by death, suffering, and the worst scum on earth, without the strong support system he has in the "present day." Many other characters in this AU also deal with difficulties or trauma, including Kyouka, Akutagawa, and Atsushi. But for now, this is the basic gist of the AU.

sometimes chuuya forgot why he fell for someone as fucking idiotic as dazai was. and he’d stop whatever he was doing and pause to wonder what the hell had gone wrong? but then dazai would turn, seeing him lost in thought, and grin, saying something about chuuya trying to have someone ask him why his head was in the clouds because it would make him feel tall. and chuuya would chuck a pen at dazai’s head, and shout that he was so fucking stupid and childish and—and he’d realize that this was why he was in love with him. because dazai was an idiot and he was annoying and ridiculous and so damn lovable in that way. it would never make sense—not to chuuya, not to dazai, not to anyone—but it felt so right. somehow, that was enough.

You know, Akutagawa is wild, and untamable. Just like he is in Beast, he's indomitable in canon as well. I feel like we end up losing perception of it because of how extensive and deeply rooted the control Dazai has over him is, and that's a big part of Akutagawa's character as we are exposed to it; but when put in context, it's just an unfortunate contingence of Dazai being the single best person at manipulating people who ever lived. If there is a single person in the entire world who could control Akutagawa, that's sure to be Dazai.

Besides, we're almost exclusively showed how Akutagawa reacts to Dazai at the end / post of his training, when Dazai had already spent at least one year molding Akutagawa in an orders-executing machine; but I was looking back to this earlier flashback and like, in the bottom panel Akutagawa looks genuinely pissed at Dazai's taunting. It makes me believe that even Dazai took some time to subjugate Akutagawa, and there was an earlier stage where Akutagawa did lash back at Dazai.

Also reminds me of Akutagawa's ever contraddictory feelings for Dazai. As much as he idolizes him, he also hits him, threatens to kill him, and he outright tells “no” to him. All considered, it makes me think that there really lies a smaller part of him that Dazai was never able to completely dominate.

Oh, and my love…did I mistake you for a sign from God?

Or are you really here to cast me off? Or maybe just to turn me on…

'Cause these days, I would be lying if I told you that I didn't wish that I could be your man

Or maybe make a good girl bad…

Maybe a bad dream

TW: Thoughts of self-harm, nothing in detail.

“Chuuya, Chuuya, wake up.”

Chuuya opened his eyes groggily, it was still dark out, a quick glance at the clock told him it was three in the morning.

He glanced over at his husband who had awoken him, his eyes weren’t alarmed though; more guilty than anything.

Chuuya rolled to more properly face him. “What is it baby?”

Dazai’s silent for a moment. “You told me to wake up if…” He trails off, but Chuuya knows what he means.

Chuuya opens his arms in invitation, which Dazai takes.

“It’s okay, I’m here.” He whispers, trailing his fingers through Dazai’s hair.

“Was it something specific? Or did you just start feeling bad?” He asks, wanting to get to the root of the Dazai’s current issue.

The brunette shrugs. “Maybe I had a nightmare, but I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Do you just want me to talk to you?” Chuuya already figured the answer would be ‘yes’ but he asked just in case.

“Please.” He mumbles, pressing his ear against Chuuya’s chest so as to hear his heartbeat.

So Chuuya starts talking, whisper praises, and telling stories, until Dazai falls asleep again.

But he was fine to stay up as late as that took.

Anything to keep Dazai from hurting himself.

Little Dazatsu headcanon that I have: Dazai's flirting goes over Atsushi's head. He notices that he's being flirted with (he's not oblivious), but he doesn’t take it as anything to consider in a romantic sense. And the reason for that? Dazai told Atsushi on the first day they met that he doesn’t swing that way.
