Royal Captain Guard Byakko With Little "Tiger Prince" Atsushi!

Royal Captain Guard Byakko with little "Tiger Prince" Atsushi!

BEAST!BSD x MHA Y'all thought I escaped this brainrot, but no. I'm stuck here. I don't know how to get out. And it got worse. It has infected the unhinged side of my brain where it just mashes things together more than it should be. How? Look at the title again.

Basically: Beast!SSKK stay in touch after Nakajima and Kyouka take to the orphanage, with Ryuunosuke every now and then coming by to visit and see how the two are faring. Not only that, but to check in on the Book that Mori took with him upon leaving his job as the Port Mafia boss.

They were talking with Nakajima talking about a story that caught the attention of the majority of the orphanage's children. A world where having powers were normal, and that it's worldbuilding was quite thought through.

But admist their conversing, they suddenly hear the sound of pages flipping.

Before they could realize what was happening, a white light blinds them, and the next the coldness of night greets them, when it was last afternoon for them.

At first they thought an Ability got them and trapped them in some sort of dimension or room in hopes to get the Book. But that wasn't the case, as the simple white book laid right next to Nakajima.

The next thought was why are we 15???

Cue Ryuunosuke feeling a familiar rush of having full control of Rashomon again, tendrils of his Ability coming off the clothes on his back, hovering around them protectively without his command. And Nakajima all but panicking in silence at the familiar pain around his neck.

Because he killed the Headmaster when he was 15.

Before they could find out what's going on or figure out what to do first between the unfamiliar world around them, the possibility that someone is attacking the orphanage back home, or what happened to themselves, Rashomon suddenly lashed out. Only for her to stop short in front of a... small talking white rat in a suit.

Ominously, they suggest the two, "Why not take the entrance exam held at UA High School?" and vanishes without a trace. Nakajima is convinced his hallucinations are getting out of hand, Ryuunosuke snaps him out of it but agrees that the being could be a cryptid.

Deciding their options, they take to the high school, standing in front of its opened gates as students slowly by surely trickling inside; today seemed to be the school's annual entrance exam to evaluate to-be students.

But Nakajima is hesitant; he still had problems, is still undergoing self-rehabilitation, and is definitely not able to handle helping people when he's internally fighting with his Ability. Not to mention, they have the Book with them. Or a Book? At least a receiver of some sort, a closed gateway to return back home through their own copy of the Book. (The problem being they don't know how, having opened and closed this book multiple times for nothing to happen, and the insides all but blank.)

So they come to an agreement: Ryuunosuke would take the exam and hopefully-most-definitely ace the exams, while Nakajima goes around finding a place for them to stay.

Preferably a city in Yokohama, for a sense of familiarity.

Cue Ryuunosuke passing the exam with more or less the highest points in Rescue, getting into 1-A, and have shenanigans just begin. All but while keeping an eye out for clues on how to get back home but also something else whose eyes are on his partner...

(A/N: [faceplants on the table] I've truly fallen out of my prime =m="")

( cricket sounds ) Have some random stuff I thought of regarding Beast Universe and Q because I am writing a fic and I needed a place to just... ramble at this point.

welcome to my ramblings, the name's lavender, im here all night www

So from what I could gather, in their present timeline, Dazai became the Port Mafia boss "four and a half years ago", leading to that he likely became the boss just a bit before meeting both Akutagawa and Atsushi. But when adding Q into the mix, they met him when they were six years old. And with a bit of brainhops and calculationg and taking note of their different timeline compared to the OG (Beast is two years behind, making Akutagawa 18 in their present timeline) then the timeline could go like as such:

They met at ages 6 and 15

By the time Mori faked his death, Dazai would have been 16

At the same age, possibly half a year, Dazai would have met Akutagawa, 14 years old, and Atsushi, 12 years old.

Fast forward those four and half years, we have 18 year old Akutagawa, 16 year old Atsushi, and 20 year old Dazai. Present-Beast timeline.

So during that short span of Q being in the Port Mafia and Mori's fake assassination, it would have been at least a year. That's what I have going on in my fic, Q still goes to the Port Mafia after being rescued from wherever they were, I'm going off on a limb and say the hospital. That one is a whole other small tangent and I have somewhat limited space. Going back on track, this is Beast Universe! And Dazai likely foresaw something happening between Q, their ability, and Chuuya (going through some theories that sound plausible enough). But since he knows enough, Dazai more or less has Q go with Mori into hiding once they faked the man's death.

And that's where things are on my end, post-beast, Atsushi and Kyouka at the orphanage under Mori's care, and Atsushi currently meeting Q.

I wanna write a few bit more about Beast!Q, please and thank you, they need the love. They're character is really interesting, that's why I'm writing all this stuff down. But until then, I have a fic to finish writing.

Modern!BSD but... mumble-mumble something-something anime adaption from a popular underrated manga series more mumble-something mumble-somethings and it's just any ordinary love story. A love story written about Dazai and Chuuya, written from the eyes of an outsider.

When the manga released, it was a hit, even though the illustrator and author of the manga didn't mean it to. He just wanted to write it as such as a means of getting back on a bet Dazai put him way back then, way back in high school; the time set of the manga and where their story began. He never expected it to get this big.

But back to specifics.

It surprised him that the two loved it, as well as the few that came across and love his series. And it was definitely a bittersweet ending with a happy note of Dazai and Chuuya happily married, living their best lives with a whole bunch of loving teasings and pets. But that's where the series ends.

But then there came an odd question that begun after the manga series has ended: What about the author? They only explained themselves to be an outsider in the manga, the narrator, Dazai's friend. And for a while, the author didn't answer the question.

It was only when the manga began its anime adaptation did beloved readers of the series began seeing it visually and audibly with the actual voices of these people, that they could finally see things that they had overlooked before.

One was that, besides the two protagonists, there were others that were seen. And in one of the anime's episodes that was adapted from a chapter of one of the manga's volumes was Dazai and Chuuya trying to wingman one of the gingerhead's friends: Akutagawa Ryuunosuke. Although it was noted from the author that he doesn't know much of this time because of a reasonable excuse of "I didn't know love well enough, so I dipped before Dazai could drag me into this."

The episode goes as show: as a comedic cut every first few seconds before the intro rolls, this time it was Dazai, at the early stages of their dating life, barges into the room they most frequent and exclaims, "We're making a dating show!" Dead beat silence, and then Chuuya's "What?" getting cut off by the intro.

They had theories and conspiracies, candidates and bachelors (both girls and boys [gotta be impartial like that]), nit-picking every little detail on who would be best suited for Chuuya's grouchy friend. They even had investigations board (which Dazai definitely recreated the meme). It was a full blown episode and chapter full of their usual shenanigans but also getting navigating through their dating life together.

The episode came to an end when the two were informed by Kyouka, Gin, and (sorrowfully) Higuchi that Akutagawa already had his heart set on someone and had went to confess to them that day. It was a comedic ending but left some intrigued on who this person was that managed to get through Akutagawa's grouchy and cold demeanor.

A second thing: while Dazai does have his own friend group, there was a certain character that was there for the majority of him and Chuuya's interactions. His friend: Nakajima Atsushi, always seen every now in then in the episodes or manga panels looking on flatly at Dazai's loud antics and Chuuya's screeching and more or less being the voice of reason in Dazai's stead.

And one thing that one of Dazai's friends, Tanizaki Junichiro, recalls about Atsushi: "Actually, did you know Atsushi has hyperthymesia?" Hyperthymesia. A rare condition that allows people to remember their lives in great detail, but it could lead to the person thinking a lot more of their past.

And it makes sense. Atsushi always seems to have his head in the clouds besides always seen with his head in books, sketching some random drawings, or writing summaries. His expressions ranging of various emotions; melancholy, pain, happiness, anger. Anything and everything under the sun.

It was a widespread theory and headcanon to the manga's fandom that the author was Atsushi, and it was an airtight case. They could see tiny bits of Atsushi's life in these small moments of when he makes an appearance and does speak besides being the air-headed and "nooby" to Dazai's friend group. It was a new year, after all, and the brunet had practically pulled the underclassman under his wing on day negative one.

It wasn't long before, a few weeks after the anime adaptation series has ended, did the author release a short story that he wants to treated as an autobiography and a way to close this chapter of his life.

A story of a boy unable to let go of his the harsh and abused past because of his rare condition some would say is a blessing but he would call it a curse. Where he finds friends in a high school after years of loneliness; a second family. A place of feeling many firsts for him, of familial and platonic love, friendships, and even love itself.

To let go of a past and childhood that Atsushi could never call his own as he prepares for his own wedding with the help of his found family of friends and his to-be husband Ryuunosuke.

(A/N: I don't know how this came to be, it was just a passing thought that in my head, visually, might be interesting to touch on. More or less based on Horimiya the more I wrote into it, just the prospect of someone else telling the story than either protagonist. Don't think I'll pick this idea up purely on the excuse that I will not bring it justice =w="")

BSD x MHA (cause it's been in the brain for a bit)

Mainly focused on SSKK and, surprisingly, Yaomomo.

The usual doozy of BSD!timeline being centuries before MHA!timeline, and SSKK somehow find themselves way into the future with little to know knowledge on how to return back home. So, for now, they gotta ride time. And thankfully, since they're in the future, it won't change time.

Cue Atsushi and Akutagawa going through the ropes of learning this world and evidently getting into UA High School.

But amongst the many students that were their peers, one catches Aktuagawa's eye, mostly because of how uncanny she looks compared to his sister Gin.

Yaoyorozu Momo, their class vice representative.

Fast forward, they as well as a few other students went to Yaoyorozu's estate to get some help for exams, which the ravenette happily offered her help. Of course, Akutagawa or Atsushi were fine, they've read a whole lot before joining UA High School (to understand this timeline) and are a bit knowledgable, so they were there for support and side-tutoring. (Unless it was math, they're useless when it comes to it). Finding some time, Atsushi and Akutagawa was able to wander around and explore the house, his permission happily granted by Yaoyorozu. And after a bit of wandering, he finds himself in a hallway full of portraits. A gallery wall, of sorts.

Without realizing, they began walking down, seeing the portraits of family after family, their names and dates imprinted proudly on plaques.

But upon coming towards the end, there was no picture nor plaque, just mere newspaper clippings and blurry photos.

"They were the very first generation of our family lineage." A voice suddenly calls, making both Atsushi and Akutagawa turn their head to see a a woman with platinum blonde hair walking up to them.

"They don't have pictures?" Atsushi asked, confused.

"We don't know," admits the woman. "Most of the beginnings of our family are shrouded in mystery that not even the oldest of history books could shed some light on their lives. And the closest we could to know their identities are the clippings and photos before you."

And that's what is causing the pair much confusion. Familiar newspaper clippings told of a hero that saved the city from certain disaster. Blurred pictures of a shadowed figure in alleyways.

It's them.

I Died and Reincarnated as a Tiger Prince?! | Demo

Byakko sheathes her katana and finally lets out a breath.

“My, such bloodshed.” She glances over her shoulder as the royal doctor walks into the building. “Bandits, I presume?”

“Mostly. But others… They seem like sorcerers and mages.”

“Magic users? In this environment?”

The building they were asked to investigate looked abandoned on the outside with cracks and ivy along with boarded up windows. But inside, it looked like some sort of infirmary.

“If anything, I was thinking of something with more materials for sorcery.” The doctor murmurs, walking over to a table with several vials of organic material and potions.

“Yosano-sama, I will continue searching the building for any leftovers.” Byakko announced, already seeing herself off.

Yosano watches her and sighs fondly, shaking her head. “It feels like a lifetime ago, and yet you still act the same.” She turns her attention back to the books and studies and drafts strewn about the table.

She wasn’t familiar with sorcery and anything magic-based, even though she herself has the highest level of healing magic, one that could save someone from the brink of death. But they already have a mage in the royal administration, one that she was familiar with. And yet she doesn’t recognize any of these drafts. She picks up one of the papers, frowning.

“What was even done here-” Yosano’s voice stuttered when her eyes continued scanning further the pages. Resurrection? Supplements? Dosages, very low chance… Her hands trembled slightly as she looked back at the various vials on the shelves.

Just what has been dealt here?

“Yosano-sama.”

She turns around at the sound of Byakko’s voice. “Byakko, we might have to return here another day. Something-”

Yosano cuts herself off at the sight of what was curled up in the other’s arms. A child, a little boy with abnormal platinum blonde hair like the moon and motionless white tiger ears and tail, his wrists and ankles bruised. Half-human children tend to have these features of theirs move when asleep. Yosano looks down at the papers in hand.

“Yosano-sama,” She turns her attention back to the royal captain, seeing the hint of anger in her slight glare. “He was found in the middle of a sorcerer’s circle, chained down.”

“What?!”

“Shh.”

Yosano stops herself from the sudden outburst, seeing the child’s tiger ears tremble slightly from the loud echo. She glances at the papers in hand. “Something’s not right…” she whispers under her breath.

“It’s best we return to the castle and report that we took care of the problem, but that it leads to something more.” Byakko said, already making her way to the door and Yosano quickly puts the papers down and follows behind. “No wonder your brother said for you to come with me. He likely foresaw this, that fortune teller.”

“I wouldn’t put it past him,” sighs Yosano, thinking back to the conversation earlier today of Ranpo practically pushing Yosano over to Byakko just before she left the castle grounds. She sighs heavily and looks at the building they just left.

Yosano observes the other for a long moment, noticing the woman’s normally dilated sharp pupils being bigger and rounder as she gazes down at the boy in her arms. I never took her to be quite the mother. Yosano smiles at the thought. But it suits her.

“Seems like you have adopted a cub or your own, hm?” Yosano inquires.

Byakko simply glances at her from over her shoulder before turning back when the child suddenly shifts in her arms.

—  —  —

All Atsushi could remember was abrupt, shocking pain. Then the sense of floating. For a moment, he thought that he had died, which was the likely ending. The pain was unbearable compared to what the orphanage usually inflicted on him. This one was done by someone not of staff, but… a terrifying man of pure white hair and voidless red eyes. Truly, he did think he died, no doubt about it.

But that didn’t explain him suddenly… waking up again.

He was being carried, his head propped on a shoulder, eyes blarily staring up at an unfamiliar abandoned building with overgrown ivy. He suddenly felt a hand rest carefully on his head and someone came into view.

“Oh, you’re awake. How are you feeling?” the woman asks, magenta eyes looking at him.

Atsushi stares for a second before grumbling in pain, squeezing his eyes. “Everything hurts…”

“Where, by chance?”

“Head… my back… my hands and legs, too.” He opens his eyes again to see the other frowning slightly.

“What do you remember last?” she asks.

“I…” He swallows roughly and just shakes his head, burying his face into the shoulder. “I don’t remember…” Suddenly, something foreign on the side of his head shifts, and his eyes shoot wide open in panic but then a hand rests against his back.

“Shhh…” a deep ethereal voice hushes gently, and it calms Atsushi almost instantly even though his grip was still vice. “Things might feel different, but right now you are still hurt,” the voice continues gently. “It’s best we leave before it gets dark. By then, you will be treated by the royal family.”

Atsushi blinks owlishly. “R-Royal… family?”

The doctor hums silently, looking at him. “Seems like your memory has been affected a lot… What do you remember by chance?” she asks as they came to a wagon and the one holding him carefully set him down and pulled their cerulean blue shoulder cape to wrap around him.

Atsushi frowns and ducks his head only to go rigid at the sight of black stripes on his arms and legs along with his nails sharp like a cat’s. Before he could panic further, hands gently held him and he looked up to meet sharp yellow eyes, just like a tiger’s. “Do you remember your name? Age?” she asks.

Atsushi stares at her for a moment before quietly nodding his head. “N-Nakajima Atsushi… And I think I’m 14…?”

“14?” The doctor echoes, eyebrows furrowed.

“I think so,” he nods.

The two women glanced at each other before the doctor stepped next to the other. “I’m Yosano Akiko. And this is Kemono Byakko,” she introduces themselves to him. Atsushi blinks before nodding his head back.

“Now,” Yosano stands up and walks inside the building.

“Yosano-sam—” Byakko began.

“Just going to do something.”

They watched as the doctor disappeared inside, and after a bit of crashing sounds that made Atsushi wince at the sudden volume in his ears, Yosano walks out with something in her hands.

“Yosano-sama…” Byakko warns slightly.

“Oh, don't worry. Yosano waves a hand. “Just made sure we grabbed everything.” Atsushi stares before squinting in slight confusion.

“But you don’t have anything but those papers,” he points out.

“Quite! But that’s for later.” Turning to Byakko, “I’ll explain once we get back to the castle.” Byakko frowns before sighing quietly and looks back at Atsushi, gently petting his head before her eyes lowered. He stares back in confusion before gasping when she suddenly rests her hands gingerly on his bruised wrists, and a gentle blue-iridescent light covers the bruises. Atsushi watches in awe as the aching faded and the bruises completely vanished as she pulled away to do the ones at her ankles.

“Let’s get you home,” Byakko whispers, gazing at Atsushi earnestly before moving to the front to begin moving the wagon. Yosano pulls herself up on the wagon with Atsushi just as it begins moving and she looks off into the distance at the building.

“What else do you remember, by chance?” she asks.

Atsushi stares before looking down slightly, ignoring the stripes and claws for now. And besides his name and an idea of his age…

“Pain.” he answered.

“Pain?”

“But I should be used to pain…”

Yosano looks at the other before resting a hand on his head. “Feel anything different, then?” she asks.

Atsushi nods and looks around. “Everything is louder and brighter, and something’s moving on my back…”

Yosano hums carefully. “Do you know anything about half-humans?” Atsushi looks at her in confusion. Smiling, “Half-humans are humans, yes, but they are a bit different in appearance.”

“Like what?”

“Additional or replaced features compared to a human,” she explains. “There can be many kinds of half-humans, so a subspecies.”

“So… a different race?” Atsushi asks, feeling himself get tired.

“That’s right. But the most common of half-humans are humans with animal-like features. Be it cats, wolves, squirrels even.”

Atsushi yawns and slumps down, curling into a ball. “Am… I one of them?”

Yosano gazes down at him. “Yes. A white tiger. Surprisingly, we’ve only heard of such beings in stories as a lineage of legendary and brave warriors.”

Atsushi blinks slowly, the information having not been able to process fully. “Do… Do they get treated nicely?” he asks, eyes slipping closed.

Yosano simply smiles and rests her eyes as well. “They are treated as equal as anyone would want to be treated.”

The sun had just begun to lower to the horizon below the mountain their kingdom was set on as they came to the castle grounds. Wasting no time, Byakko unleads the horse from the wagon and lets the stablehands take care of them, and pulls the wagon to where the others were.

“Phew,” Yosano sighs as she steps off. “A single day of travel, the most I’ve been out for a long time.” she murmurs. Byakko nods as she rounded the wagon and carefully scoops Atsushi up, now bundled up in her cape and sleeping soundly. Her gaze softened slightly to see the child’s ears flick in his sleep.

“Now how do we explain to the royal family that you suddenly picked up a child of your own?” Yosano hums as they make their way to the doors.

“His Highness would understand,” responds Byakko and Yosano hums, smiling quietly.

“That he would,” she agrees.

Byakko felt a shift in her arms and looked down as ametrine sunset eyes fluttered open, taking in everything slowly. “Feeling better?” she asks quietly.

Atsushi hummed quietly, letting his eyes rest closed for a while longer as he rested against her. “It’s numb, but it’s uncomfortable. Feels weird…”

“It would be,” hums Byakko. She glances at Yosano who nods. “Hungry, by chance?”

It takes Atsushi a moment to realize he was starving. Thankfully, his stomach growling was enough of an answer for them.

“The chefs are likely preparing dinner as we speak…” Yosano murmurs. “Byakko, take Atsushi to the infirmary, the private room. It’d be best if we don't have the others bother him until further notice. I’ll go and retrieve some food that one who hasn’t eaten as of late can stomach.”

Byakko nods and makes her way down the hallway, parting ways with her. Atsushi watches Yosano vanish behind the corner before looking around once more.

“Where are we?” he asks quietly.

“The royal castle,” responds the woman.

A beat.

“Do you and Yosano-sama work here…?”

“Yes, but Yosano is a part of the family. But she's more devoted to his medical work than the usual duties compared to her brothers,” she explains. “I’m the royal captain guard. But I wish to be your mother, as well.”

Atsushi stares at her for a moment. “My… mother?” he echoes.

“Yes,” she nods her head. “Would you mind?”

Atsushi was quiet, thinking about it.

Back at the orphanage, there was never a set parental figure amongst the children. The most he’s seen was the oldest residence protecting the younger ones, which usually led to them being kicked out right then and there. Of course, none of them protected him. He was more trouble than what was worth.

But in books, he had an idea of what a happy family would be, and what the relationship between parent and child should be. It was nothing compared to the orphanage.

Atsushi looks up at Byakko. She seems nice… And she helped me, too. “Will that be okay…?” he asks, still hesitating.

“I am not a part of the royal family, even though they took me in all the same. I am but their royal captain guard. I don’t think they would mind me returning with a child of my own, one in need of help.” she responds.

Atsushi stares at her before humming quietly, resting his head on his shoulder. Byakko freezes up slightly before relaxing quietly, resting her head against his as they continue towards the infirmary.

(A/N: This is all but randomness I spewed out a day or two ago, and let me tell you my brain juices are running dry. But I still wanted to play around with the idea, so have this as a demo. Unsatisfied but satisfied enough to at least place it down here. The one I would make might follow the same outline but with a few changes in the worldbuilding [I'm bad when it comes to that] but everything is mostly the same!)
