Can't take off my mind this very specific flavor of sskk dynamics from a timeline that goes like: the doa arc never happened. Skip forward to bunch of years past the canon events, and you have sskk who can't really call each other enemies since it's now evident to everyone they enjoy seeing each other, but aren't friends either since they do very much still work for enemy organizations. And they just keep stumbling across each other on their respective missions from opposite fronts, trying to capture the same target for their own team, and they keep fighting and competing with each other in a way that is almost playful (but never going easy on each other because then where's the fun!), making them both almost look forward to meet and clash with the other on missions and to fight for the same target. And the mission accomplishment rate has now decreased to a 50% for both of them but neither of them can bring themselves to really care because for the first time they're having the carefree, mindless fun they never experienced in their lives and they have a person they enjoy to spend time with to the point they even got past denying it. And Atsushi telling Akutagawa “even if I let you go now, I'll still have to hunt you down” and Akutagwa replying “hunt me then” and theatrically disappearing out of a window or something leaving Atsushi laughing and just. them being together although nobody is going to say it out loud

#atsushi nakajima #ryūnosuke akutagawa #sskk #shin soukoku #bsd #bungou stray dogs #mine #q.#24/10/22 #I think it's not even that unlikely to happen either? To name one‚ something of the kind already happened in 55 Minutes #(Akutagawa being assigned to hunt down pm traitors and Atsushi infiltrating in the same group– same target‚ different goals)#I just think fic writers should let go of the trope of them being assigned to the same mission by a collaboration between organizations–#which is‚ let's be honest‚ so unlikely to happen and even in canon was a one-time occurrence #(yet is such a recurring expedient in fanworks!!!) and embrace the potential of Atsushi and Akutagawa being assigned to the same mission–#from their respective organization AS ENEMIES and unexpectedly meeting on the field.#The surprise!!! The romantic tension!!!! C'mon it's so good!!!!!!!#The eventual begrudging come to a temporary accord!! That is something they chose and is not imposed!!#The turning their back to the other last minute to guarantee their own victory!!#The playing everything from the beginning again and again like a loving dance!!! Now THAT'S a good trope.#Sskk typical unconventional mating rituals right here #And since y'all really like matchmaker Dazai you can still have him getting in touch with Chuuya–#and see to which parallel missions Atsushi and Akutagwa can ~accidentally~ be assigned together lmao #Btw this was largely inspired by Sway With Me by atsumara_co on ao3 that fic opened me a world.#The quoted line is partially reprised from that I couldn't help it it's such a great scenario #Usual disclaimer that you should really write whatever you want #this is more of a reflection on my personal tastes based on what I've found to be popular in the fandom #I've already talked about this before like I can't bring myself to hold it against authors because it is an easy way to make them interact.#Still for me it really cheapens their dynamics if you make them repeatedly join forces like it was the norm...#It stripes the value of them being from enemy organizations do you get what I mean?#Kyotag out
