#chuaku

[setriete]

I thought about fem! Chuaku, who go to the event, but not to get some fresh air, but for their mafia business.

Chuuya in an expensive suit and in high spirits, as always daring and strong.

And Akutagawa has a little black dress, like Chanel, and the task not to stand out too much at first, which she doesn't really like, but what can she do.

And then this murderous couple arranges a fierce mess: Chuuya in a red suit and with a red glow from the ability, and Akutagawa in a dress, wielding Rashomon.

Everything is bloody, masterfully and beautiful.

Translation:

C: You look fine, Akutagawa! The main thing is not to get into trouble for the time being. A: As you say...

C: Let's have a little drink before we go.

C: Well done, I'm proud!

A: 😳

A gift work for @inkantigen!

“Akutagawa, just spit it out, will you? Do you like me? Answer yes or no. I don’t have time for long winded explanations.” He says, anticipating a silence of denial in case Akutagawa couldn’t say no, couldn’t lie outright. Akutagawa surprises him yet again by leaning forward and placing tentative lips on his. When he draws back, his pale face is dusted with rose, the blinding light of the early morning sun painting his skin golden. “You said you were going to kiss me again if I still wanted to.” He whispers. “I do want you to.” And Chuuya indulges him, wondering if he just found the answer to the question he has been turning over in his mind.

Three snapshot scenes of Chuuya & Akutagawa and their changing relationship with every returning visit to an island resort.

ЧуАку. Канун зимових свят

Чуя: Акута, сьогодні вже 10 грудня. Давай повісим гірлянду

Акутагава: в нас і так багато гірлянд дома

Чуя: ну давай новорічну... а ще ялинку треба

Акутагава: давай, я за. І ще декілька новорічних прикрас

Чуя: ти куди?

Акутагава пішов та дістав якусь коробку з шафи, в якій окрім прикрас була ще коробка по менше

Акутагава: я купив декілька новорічних прикрас та гірлянд. Думав показати ближче до свят, але якщо ти хочеш вже то

Чуя: бооже, Аку, яка краса глянь!!!

Чуя верещав як мала дитина від нових гірлянд та новорічних прикрас. Акутагава ж був щасливий підібрати настільки ідеальний декор на зимові свята. Після вони почали наряжати ялину та вішати прикраси. Ялина в них була невелика. Десь 160-165см. Вибирали таку аби не вище Чуї, а якщо і вище то на пару сантиметрів, бо так сказав Акутагава.

Чуя: диви!! Який фаний шар!

Акутагава: кгем... ось.

Рюноске простягнув плюшеву ялинкову іграшку у вигляді песика

Чуя: АААААААААААААААААААААААА ЯКИЙ ГАРНИЙ!!!!

Рудий кинувся обіймати Акутагаву, та дякувати. І це був лише один з невиликої подарункової коробки, це була колекція таких цуциків. В Йокогамі їх не купити, хіба що їхати в Токіо або місяць чекати доставку. Чуя дуже хотів їх купити, але не міг замовити, ніде не було в на��вності.

Чуя: *цьом*

Акутагава, червоніючи: я радий що тобі подобається. Дуже радий.

Чуя: але як ти їх дістав?

Акутагава: дехто допоміг з'їздити до Токіо. Ось і все.

Чуя: а коли ти встиг?

Акутагава: а це вже таємниця *цьом*

Чуя: отжеж... *цьом* давай вішати хутчіш!!!

Ще трохи обіймів і вони почали вішати нові іграшки. Чуя сяяв від щастя, Акутагава теж. Це був чудовий початок підготовки до зимових свят

For me, it is quite logical who is a liability in a pair and who is an asset. In the plan, Saihiro Zeno does not see, and therefore he is from below, in Chuaku, Chuatsu, Dazatsu, and Dazaku everything seems to be clear who the asset is. And Soukoku .... Interesting. I think Soukoku would often experiment with sex. sex on the table, shibari, with your eyes closed and much more. And I like my headcanons.

Information for 'I can't dance'

I may make some people mad and I don't care it's my story :/

First off, since it's a non-romance au, the main ship will be non-romantic so therefore, I can in fact have the main ship be ChuAku, and besides, Chuuya is canonically 2-3 years older than Akutagawa 🙄 but it wasn't going to be romantic anyway considering my standing on romanticizing mentor and mentee relationships. So, no the main ship will be ChuuAku and Soukoku will be a side program- i mean ship.

Second off, the fan comic will NOT be produced til I know how much scenes per chapter I'm drawing and what my style would be for it and I learn other comic basics, and therefore the fan comic would be released after the fan novel just I'm not sure how long that would take.

If you aren't happy with MY story, rewrite it yourself or just suck it up read it anyway, or fuck don't read it at you won't hurt my feelings

Thanks so much for your patience while I figure out the plot and other story elements, thank you so much!

Pt. 1/2 of my unhinged list of BSD gen fic recs

At Least He's Not Selling Him Out for One Corn Chip (1456 words) by mr_reblogbutton, eniwhere_but_here (Katai rejoins the agency fic, I'm pretty sure i read it while half awake so i dont remember much except that it was so chaotic and so much fun)

memories (2083 words) by writingradionoises (Ango-centric but more Discourse on Decadence centric, it has some implied ships but I loved the way Discourse on Decadence was written)

A Near Thing (2142 words) by Atsushiis (canon divergence where Atsushi almost leaving the agency is addressed, i loved it but at the same time think it's a bit of a pipe dream given what happened in the end of season 1 episodes (their reaction to Atsushi being kidnapped, that is))

Playing House (Building Home) (3552 words) by Seito (highly stressed guardian!angel Atsushi trying to figure out how to save his suicidal bandaged charge, features platonic soukoku and i think hawaii???)

An unlikely twist of fate (6182 words) by CureIcy (2 chapters, Edgar Allan Poe character exploration, he makes friends (and a boyfriend but ranpoe is a minor note in the fic as a whole))

AKA Book Club (2931 words) by PuppetMaster5 (3 chapters, another Atsushi and Chuuya are friends but have no idea what the other does, again let them meet in canon)

That's why there's no more meaning in pretending to be dead (hello, hi, I'm here) (11951 words) by PuppetMaster55 (2 chapters, child soldier Atsushi, cant remember much except that it surprised me in how interesting the concept was, also it was well executed i think)

That's Our Intern (2627 words) by GeminiMoon14 (no powers Atsushi = overprotective ADA, think of that episode where the ADA goes feral when their favourite cafe people are hurt, this would be so fun to have if I didn't think Atsushi's powers actually were a vital part of the narrative but it's an AU so anything goes)

alien (1455 words) by Misila (hi yeah, Atsushi's stream of consciousness as he realizes he has a family makes me cry, that is all)

Five Times Atsushi Was Hugged and One Time He Gave a Hug (2939 words) by why_cant_turtles_fly (bro i am in TEARS, literally just what the title says and it is EVERYTHING to me)

A Study in Mafia Black (13763 words) by eluvion (another don't remember much of, but the summary alone made me decide to share it because i love the take on Ranpo's character even if i'm not sure if I agree, Dazai and his issues through Ranpo's eyes, m/m tagg i think for soukoku?)

Photographs and Forgiveness (1563 words) by I_Paint_With_Words (buraiha fic, excatly what the title makes it sound like, mostly Dazai and Ango centred, kind of 50/50 on whether ango needs to be forgiven but this fic did it nicely i think)

I'll Be There Because I Want To (2456 words) by Allwalkfree (2 chapters, Chuuya and Akutagawa friendship exploration against Dazai's...legacy I guess (Dazai isn't dead, though), i just love wholesome chuaku friendship (or co-worker-ship?) okay)

Art Song (4468 words) by EttaEvie (Chuuya and Piano Man, they're just playing piano and having a friendship, sweet (and a little sad))

A5158 (2305 words) by TheSilverHunt3r (Corruption but it speaks in Chuuya's mind, surprisingly funny if my memory serves right but i dont remember too much of this)

if you're looking for something you dropped (7964 words) by auroracode (platonic exploration of the dazai left soukoku aftermath, it's pretty interesting if you're looking for that sort of content without the romantic implications)

stray dogs (4273 words) by HansChristianOersted (Dazai and Yosano relationship exploration, really interesting considering their shared ties to Mori)

there's a light, there's a sun, taking all the shattered ones (4732 words) by Seito (Oda lives AU, can you tell i have exactly two odasaku fic preferences?)

This Tiger Pillow Is Fukuzawa-Approved (3177 words) by VestalDestroyer, RosabethFern (silly one shot where Atsushi is warm and the winter is cold, family ADA)

luminous (2717 words) by orphan_account (Kenji and Chuuya hang out, that's it. that's the fic)

Yumeno Kyusaku (7025 words) by FluffPuffCat (3 chapters, canon divergence, what if people had paid more attention to Q after the Guild arc?)

Dutch Braids (1665 words) by why_cant_turtles_fly (Kyouka and Dazai bonding fic)

A Source of Comfort (2561 words) by RatMonarch (AU where Lucy takes care of Q in an orphanage, don't know how realistic it is given one is Canadian and the other is Japanese but jfaiseojreiowre, haunted house horror siblings)

Fukuzawa's Fair-Weather Fish (1408 words) by Trinity_of_Madness (Atsushi, Fukuzawa, cats, cuteness ensues)

If light is scarce (1345 words) by odadsaku (Tanizaki is traded off to the mafia, big oof, also the fic has links to Kenji joining the mafia and Ranpo joining the mafia, so....why, you guys?)

Ghosts (651 words) by FanficMagicalGirl (quick and incredibly poetic one-shot of all the BSD characters that die, i'm in love)

blank sheets of paper (2645 words) by metanoeins (SO well-written but it features more of a headcanon character exploration, that is to say aroace Kunikida)

Where Insomnia Leads (2755 words) by JustAWinterGuardian (Kyouka, Atsushi, Dazai family-bonding fic, i just love these guys getting to know each other after nightmares i guess)

A Chance at an Unlikely Profession (5821 words) by StrayPapers (legitimately SUCH a good theory and look into why and how Higuchi got into the PM, i havent found any like it since)

Different Now (332 words) by qu1nby (shippy but very short, and honestly heartwarming to me, let Akutagawa decide things are more important than Dazai)

warmth (and miso soup) (876 words) by ByakkoNoMonogatari (BEAST Atsushi and Mori and Elise being family, they may be a little messy but at least they're very heartwarming)

melted ice (806 words) by Misila (cry over the buraiha again, that is to say ango and dazai centric, dazai birthday fic, sadness)

If trauma fucks up your first childhood, try try again (2687 words) by CureIcy (the kids minus the tanizaki siblings go to the zoo, that's all)

life is written like a storybook (600 words) by MiniNephthys (Poe, Oda, the rest is up to you to figure out, a really neat past-could-have-been)

thank you (1173 words) by tsukuyomiii (Kyouka birthday fic, Dazai and Kyouka friendship exploration, I love this a lot actually)

all these years (1160 words) by spicygrass (Kunikatai friendship, what more do you need?)

Do what you love (1196 words) by rchimedes (Ranposano friendship, what more do you need? featuring a bit of Yosano's past profession before her inscription to the war)

Remorse (1848 words) by Miammey (canon divergence, don't read if you don't want to cry, basically Kenji kills Tecchou and things do not end happily, love the writing though)

A Faint Pale Rainbow (3034 words) by Leonawriter (I seriously adore platonic soulmate AUs, you guys dont understand jfisojerewre, but yeah another dazai-centric fic as he goes and finds his soulmates)

(abt ur tags on that fic rec list post) I'd love to know more gen bsd fics!!! if u don't mind pls make a list of them

OP, I hope you understand that you have unleashed a monster considering how many BSD fics I consumed. But that said, I'll try to keep it short and strictly gen for this ask, then just reblog with the rest (some do have implied ships, though). Most of them are just fluff and one-shots. And I haven't really read much fanfic recently, so most of these are my bookmarks from before I even really got into this blog and my memory on them might be shaky; generally, I either liked them because good writing, good characterization, good analysis, and/or it was just too funny/too interesting to not bookmark. Some might have Americanisms/Westernisms of things that probably don't really happen in Japan (probably?) and some might have slight character assassinations, but I don't think anything should be too gratuitously unforgivable. Also, all opinions are my own and do not reflect on either the writing or the author's original intent.

So under the cut are my absolute favourite of favourites.

Morning Light (18021 words) by FallenBrie (time loop, Atsushi character exploration, ADA!found family)

O expectations, stale and dismal airs, leave this body of mine! (20976 words) by aptlydapper (3 chapters, still my all-time favourite bsd fanfic for the writing and the concept and its execution, Chuuya joins the ADA basically but so much more than that to me)

Conundrum (23921 words) by AdmiralTDeVanto (hi, I love this AU so much, role-reversal where aku and atsu are the older figures and dazai and chuuya are the younger ones, some other au roleswaps happen but that's a surprise)

circle of praise (1898 words) by Oxalisalis (have a few by this author (love their works so much, they have some great BEAST things), basically compliment assault, ADA family, sweet and funny)

The Scent of Milk Tea (1343 words) by Sternstunde (Atsushi and Chuuya are housemates, neither is aware of the other's job, please let them meet in canon, 2 chapters and unfinished)

Reason To Live (1746 words) by Allwalkfree (time travel fic with a take on akutagawa's future character arc that left me DEAD, just...him being better than the people he was taught by okay? and him having a clearer picture of the stuff he went through etc)

hell is empty (all the devils are here) (1065 words) by Origamidragons (legit one of my FAVOURITE Gin character explorations, shoutout to the use of her character's irl short story)

in the end, you write your verse (6858 words) by Origamidragons (ADA and PM role swap and it's honestly SO GOOD that I desperately wish there was more of this (in a this fic is INCREDIBLE way, that is))

In The Choice, There's Peace (2561 words) by treetrunkdaddy (chill vibes, fic that explores Atsushi's character so nicely to me through how he copes with anger)

Mark of a Teacher (527 words) by Seito (Kunikida has been framed as a terrorist apparently and his students see the news headlines, it's hilarious and just fun)

A Study From Stripes (teach me to be loved again) (29684 words) by MidnighttWriter (beloved fic with beloved writing, Atsushi trauma exploration, might feel a little dark or emotional for bsd (in a different way, since BSD doesnt exactly shy away from being emotional or dark) but honestly beloved and SUCH a fascinating Atsushi character study to me)

would you believe me if i said i was blinded by the light? (1203 words) by elijay (half-blind Dazai real to me, but no its a really neat headcanon and that's all the fic is, which is all i wanted)

good bones (838 words) by Quintessence (I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, another Atsushi has a lot of trauma and the agency is flabbergasted)

5 Times Dazai Didn’t Understand Math And The 1 Time Kunikida Tried To Do Something About It (3746 words) by zededs (math is difficult, so is Dazai, Kunikida is stressed out, just a funny story)

how to get away with murder (10000 words) by magdalenes (11 chapters and unfinished, but it's SO SO good, the author is setting up the mystery so well, and it's basically just....detectives doing detective work but possibly also avoiding other detectives, more plotty than charactery)

what is a name (640 words) by Seito (guys, seriously, read this, im serious it has SUCH a good theory and the IMPLICATIONS of this to the larger bsd story????)

a secret for a secret (2302 words) by Oxalisalis (another of my FAVOURITE Gin fics, this author DELIVERED so well on their characterisation, slight canon divergence but perhaps not?)

But yeah. Because I somehow ended up opening over 130 tabs (that was after narrowing things down. i am so normal about BSD) for this ask, I'll just....reblog with more for those who are interested in gen fics. (It's why it took me a while, apologies.)

I Want It That Way

Summery: Akutagawa is singing the backstreet boys and Atsushi is having a mental breakdown because of it

Characters: Atsushi & Akutagawa

Gen: Drabble

Akutagawa was humming. Atsushi wasn’t sure what exactly he was humming, but he definitely was and Atsushi has never felt as creeped out as he did right then at that very moment. Well-

That was a lie. The creepiness he was feeling at that moment had nothing on the shivers that ran up his spine like tiny little creepy crawlers when he stumbled next to the other man during their joint fight and actually heard what exactly he was singing.

“Rock your body~” he was muttering under his breath as he shielded them both. “Everybody~ Rock your body right~ Backstreets back alright~!”

Atsushi could have died right then and there and he wasn’t sure if even that could stop the nightmare vision he was having right now.  

‘What the fuck!’ his mind screamed. ‘What the actual fuck!’

He wanted to cry, he wanted to curl up into a ball and just hide from this cruel and twisted world. Since when did the Akutagawa, rabid dog of the Port Mafia fucking sing Backstreet boys? Why? How? Why?

When Akutagawa snapped at him to focus after almost getting hit, all the weretiger could do was rub a furious hand over his watery eyes and nod with hidden terror. “Sorry,” he shouted, jumping from the targeted spot. “Sorry, was just distracted for a sec.”

“Fucking weretiger,” Akutagawa tsked and that was the end of it. Well- at least that’s what he’d thought.

---

The second time he heard that blasted song coming from his archrival’s lips was during a mundane meeting between the Agency and the Port Mafia. They had been stationed next to each other; close to the giant double doors, and while Atsushi had been bored out of his skull shifting this way and that, the taller dark-haired man hadn’t moved an inch, and Atsushi honestly thought he was asleep until he started that cursed humming again.  

He had almost managed to convince himself that the incident had all been a fever dream, that it hadn’t actually happened and that he was just imagining things due to an untimely concussion or something, but nop, it really had happened, because-

“Oh.my.God we’re back again~”

Atsushi whimpered.  

“Brothers, sisters, everybody sing~”

Atsushi softly cried,

But when the older male very subtly started to move in his position as if-as if, he was dancing?

Atsushi fainted.

----

“You have to believe me Dazai-san please!”

Dazai as expected was smiling at him with condescending amusement, and if Atsushi had been a lesser man, he might have clawed his eyes out at the blatant disrespect, but alas-  

“Come on Dazai-san!”

“I’m sorry Atsushi-kun,” he sing-songed. “I just have a hard time believing little Akutagawa-kun is capable of singing anything let alone a song so out of his comfort zone he genuinely might croak if it was played in his vicinity.”

“But it’s true!”

He got a condescending pat on the head for his concern.

Atsushi had never hated Dazai-san more.

----

Atsushi blinked up at the ceiling of the infirmary. Things hadn’t gone as well as usual this time around. Every part of his body ached like never before, and he would have honestly started pitying himself if the screams next door hadn’t made him send it all over to his poor partner that unfortunately didn’t have the ability to selfheal.

Yosano was really making a meal out of it. Probably revenge, he thought. Yawning loudly he closed his eyes and didn’t open them till the other male was wheeled in next to him. “Now don’t move till you’re told so,” Yosano-san said, backing away from the bed after giving the Port Mafia member a quick once over.  

He coughed. “Thank you.”

Atsushi smiled. Akutagawa had gotten much better at that type of thing. He briefly contemplated if he was the reason for the change, before brushing it aside just as quickly.  

“You’re welcome,” was Yosano-san's reply; voice a lot more gentle this time.“Something I can get you before I take my leave?”

“My phone if it isn’t too much trouble.”

She fished it out from her pocket before turning around and leaving with a passing goodbye.

Atsushi opened his mouth to say something in the dawning silence that fell over them, but before he could-

~~~I’ve got a question for you, better answer now~~~

...It was the phone...

...The song was coming out of Akutagawa’s phone...

Atsushi choked. Vision darkening once again, and only a soft concerned whisper of Jinko? Following him into the abyss.  

----

He was done, it was over, he needed this to end, to stop. Any longer and Atsushi couldn’t promise his own sanity any longer.

The orphanage might not have broken him, but fuck-

Akutagawa singing that-that song might legitimately do him in.  

They were both on another mission again. This time accompanied by Chuuya and Dazai respectively.  

“Why can’t I work with Chuuya-san?” Akutagawa questioned after Dazai had briefed them on the upcoming plan. If Atsushi hadn’t gotten to know him as well as he did over the year, he might have actually missed that slight tilt in his voice that suggested of begrudging disappointment.

Huh

Who would have thought? Just a year after their last huge team up and Akutagawa was already moving on from Dazai-san's acceptance.  

Dazai most have noticed the tone as well, because his smile widened even further. “Awww, doesn’t little Akutagawa-kun wanna team up with me anymore? I’m hurt~”.

Chuuya scoffed, slapping the taller male on the back of the head. “Shut up bandaged freak,” he snapped, but the little smile dancing at the corner of his lips was evince of how pleased he was of the fact that Akutagawa chose him over the other man.

Well, it didn’t really matter to Atsushi, in fact, this was perfect. Chuuya-san seemed to know Akutagawa pretty well, so maybe he could shed light on this new fixation he had on that ridiculous song.  

----

“Chuuya-san?”

“Hmmmm?”

“Can I ask you something?”

“Sure kid, go ahead.”

Their mission had gotten off without a hitch and Atsushi had finally built up the courage to ask the burning question in his chest.

“It’s about Akutagawa.”

“Oh,” Chuuya momentarily turned around to look back at him with a curious face. “What about him?”

Atsushi gnawed at his bottom lip in thought. How could he phrase this question exactly? How did you tell the superior officer of your partner that said partner’s singing habit was disturbing you and you wanted it to stop?

He opened his mouth, but before any profound sound could escape past his lips, their two other companions rounded the corner. “All done,” Dazai called out to them.

Chuuya-san bellowed back in the affirmative, before doing something that made the white-haired teen next to him pale in horror.  

“You are my fire~” he sang loudly, actually making Dazai-san stop and blink in confusion. Good, Atsushi thought, serves him right. “The one desire~ Believe when I say I want it that way~” he continued, and Atsushi just wanted to die. This couldn’t be happening.

It was like a switch turned inside Akutagawa’s head, because he started to bob his head to some unknown music before echoing back the familiar lines while adding the next once “But We Are Two Worlds Apart~ Can't Reach To Your Heart~”  

With those words he cranked up the volume on his phone before finishing with as much of a flair as the rabid dog of the Port Mafia could have. “When You Say That I Want It That WAAAY~”.

Dazai-san looked so disturbed; Atsushi would have genuinely found it funny if he himself wasn’t currently experiencing unrecoverable trauma.

He fainted when they reached the chores.  

----

He was later told by a highly amused Dazai-san that apparently that song had become Chuuya-san's and Akutagawa’s inside joke/bonding song when the former’s phone accidentally played the song while trying to discreetly sneak into an enemy base.  

They had somehow miraculously gotten out of the sticky situation but ever since then it had become some sort of a running joke between them, and they had taken to singing that whenever in a tough spot or after a mission.  

Dazai-san found it hilarious.

Atsushi thought it was horrifying,

Ok, maybe slightly cute and funny too, but definitely horrifying.

And if he’d started humming the dumb thing himself from time to time, well-

Who could blame him? And it made Akutagawa smile and yeah, that was ok. It was fine. Akutagawa needed to smile more anyways.
