    Summary

    Atsushi hated pain. The Orphanage had subjected him to years and years of it, through hammers and knives and cold water and hot pokers and nights spent on his knees, scrubbing at the floors, blood blossoming on his palms. He hated it.

    But in the early hours of the morning—shooting out of bed, wrapping his arms around himself, tight, as if they would protect him from the man in the corner that spewed poisonous words and harsh glares, cold and dissecting, memories clawing at him even now, threatening to destroy him—the first thing he did was grab at his hair and pull.

    or: atsushi on the headmaster, pain, humanity, and new beginnings

    Summary

    Horror formed in the pit of Dazai's stomach as he watched Atsushi’s hands transform into claws. He watched as those claws started dragging bloody caverns down the hollows of Atsushi’s throat.

    Still, Atsushi was screaming, even as Dazai ran forward. The boy had flinched at his touch but now Dazai had no choice, trying his best to ignore the painful twist in his chest at Atsushi’s pleading cries to please please, don’t touch me. Don’t touch me. Don’t touch- as he slapped his hands around Atsushi’s claws, activating No Longer Human without a second's delay.

    --

    “Who am I?” Dazai asked. “Who am I to you?”

    “You’re-” Atushi faltered, “You’re Dazai Osamu, leader of the Port Mafia. You’re my boss,” there was another pause, “And you’re supposed to be dead.”

    --

    Or the one where BEAST! Atushi is transported into canon by a rogue ability user and the ADA comes face-to-face with what could have been.

    Summary

    Atsushi teams up with Akutagawa under Dazai’s command on a simple mission to clean up after a time-traveling skill user, but things go south when he accidentally walks into a trap and finds himself transported eight years back in time. There’s only one thought on Atsushi’s mind when he wakes up in his ten-year-old body: find Dazai and get him to nullify the ability so Atsushi can get back to life as he knows it.

    But how is he supposed to search for a single fourteen-year-old boy whose past he knows next to nothing about? Desperate for help, Atsushi finds himself making his way to the only place he can think of to rely on in a time like this — the newly established Armed Detective Agency in Yokohama.
