My piece for dazatsu exchange 2026 for @kryonix ♡ I hope u like it, I tried to mix every prompt you wrote which were hanahaki disease, hurt/comfort and abo :D well except it isnt fluffy abo but angsty, I hope you dont mind!
First gift for Datsu @lunaria_inn for Dazatsu Exchange 2026.
Their mission here is mainly about Atsushi's journey to reach a government lab and hand himself to be the main subject for the antidote. Also wit zombie Dazai help I guess.
And a sketch of their ending that I didn't have the heart to complete (since I just realized that Datsu was asking for a happy ending.. Sorry...)
The happy ending in my idea... Is just Atsushi managing to reach his goal and the antidote is developed and mass produced...
But since Dazai's jaw ruptured, his body is actively rotting from lack of eating for the past 2 weeks. Once the antidote is developed, the lab suggested Atsushi to just let him "sleep" because there is no point for Dazai to take it, his life would be in agony with his missing vital features.. (Dazai would be dead either way)
The agency was his whole world and Atsushi lost them on the first wave of the apocalypse. That means Atsushi will have no one left once Dazai is dead. That's why he decides to join him. To him, there's no more reason to stay once Dazai is gone.
Dazai would want Atsushi to continue living freely again but again, he can't protest properly without his jaw.

Also bonus sketch since I have no idea much about "Prince Dazai x Pauper Atsushi maybe? Free reign tbh" prompt.
For the Dazatsu Exchange 2026: here you go- @emdlare!!
Event organizer: @dazatsuweek
I really liked the coffee shop idea and the concept of Dazai having a crush on customer Atsushi: mainly because he's giving him coffee for free!! But I hope it was okay that I added Atsushi having a bad day, seeing Dazai being a godsend!!
2026 | 21 | my humble contribution to the dazatsu exchange 2026, a fluffy swap au piece for @reinthedarkness0! dazai is figuring out the most efficient position for shadowing his new mentor. (being a workplace menace takes a bit more creativity when you have yet to secure your newly acquired employment status. atsushi is not gonna tell him that he has no intention of throwing him back into the proverbial river. or that his attempts skew more cute than disruptive. at least for a little while longer.)
After a mysterious ability alters his memories, Atsushi wakes up believing he’s a member of the Port Mafia. The situation throws Dazai off his balance.
They requested some ability mishap shenanigans, so I thought about Dazai getting super sick, meaning he can finally, FINALLY, squeeze Atsushi's pink tiger toe beans!
I had lots of fun with Atsushi, drawing him shirtless and buff with stretch marks just cuz.

Quote in question: "I asked Marlon Brando, and he admitted it. He said he went to bed with lots of other men, too, but that he didn't consider himself a homosexual. He said they were all so attracted to him. 'I just thought that I was doing them a favor,' he said." (Truman Capote)

This is your prompt 1, the one where you describe Dazai and Atsushi's funny interactions through an earpiece while Atsushi is on a mission. It was fun illustrating what you described!! I really hope you enjoy the result <3
The text is handwritten, so if my handwriting is unclear, duplicate the text:
I: 1. You're doing so well, it's good that you went instead of me. I definitely need to thank you somehow!
2. What kind of "thank" can you give me? You hardly pay the bills at the cafe.....
