Of Knights and Princesses by Ishtar12 (words: 13,094) Shin Sokouku || Akutagawa Ryuunosuke/Nakajima Atsushi (Bungou Stray Dogs) No Archive Warnings Apply— Emotional hurt/comfort but also very soft—inspired by ch119 leaks

Summary:

Jinko requires no protecting. Gin has not needed him in years. Stoker’s princess is safe. Regardless of the way Stoker’s final edict continues to thrum within his bones, his duty has been well and truly discharged.

Behind him, the weretiger scrambles onto the roof with a huff that morphs into a groan, joints cracking back into human shape.

Tension melts from Ryuunosuke’s shoulders despite the renewed question: why? Why would the weretiger set out to find him? Why did he wish to be found?

Or: Akutagawa struggles in the aftermath of Bram Stoker’s possession. Atsushi refuses to let him run.
