I don't know how to draw rain, I'm sorry :p
I always find it funny how the Port Mafia was introduced like they were the ultimate evil and at this point, they're practically the good guys. The Agency and Port Mafia's relationship truly is the embodiment of "The enemy of my enemy is my Thematic Parallelâ„¢"
Sskk is one of the most emotional rivalries/ships I have ever seen. It is a relationship that actually hits the heart. Skk is iconic. Kyoukenji is cute. Fyolai is poetic. HiguGin is heartwarming. But sskk?
Sskk is deeper than all these dynamics. The more you get into it the more parallels you see, the more symbolism you see. The things they say to each other both stings at times and also makes you cry.
Akutagawa is both at his best and worst whenever he is around Atsushi. And the more the story goes on the less bitter he becomes.
Atsushi despises Akutagawa but he still works with him, because working with Akutagawa makes him more secure, feel as if someone's got his back.
"Don't worry, go you fool"
"That's why Dazai-san left you"
"Just the two of us?"
"Do we need more?"
Akutagawa and Atsushi support and help each other. They work as a team. Putting their differences apart
Because they are quite similar, looking for one thing; reassurance and praise
They have had difficult childhoods with no parental guidance and they grew up to be very different in terms of personality because of their unique circumstances.
All of these emotions. All of this pain in them. That keeps them separate but it also brings them together. Because that's the thing that they both understand. What's it like to have nothing. And they fight because they just want to be a part of something.
And maybe in one universe where Dazai never brought them together, they might be the best of friends like they were always supposed to.
It doesn't matter how their relationship is, soulmates will always find each other.
After all the only person Akutagawa has smiled at besides his sister-------is Atsushi

SOME LORE INFORMATION
Name: The Crimson Restraint AU
A Bungo Stray Dogs AU where vampires and werewolves exist.
A world where the Port Mafia is an organization led by vampires, while the Armed Detective Agency is like vampire hunters... But not.
Why not?
They don't want to kill them.
Why?
Because of one simple human who didn't want one specific vampire killed, no matter what he's done.
Their goal is to stop their actions and improve the relationship between vampires and humans.
Werewolves, too? Sort of yes. They're way more rare, though.
And, well. They don't have an entire organization right around the corner like vampires.
Most Port Mafia members are vampires.
Many higher positions occupy born vampires, while members of lower status are mainly made/created vampires or half vampires.
Many of the members has been turned into vampires and half vampires only after joining.
Only born vampires can make humans into vampires or half vampires. They have different lifespans and their ability level may vary. Same when it comes to the vampire hunger.
Humans and vampires are said to be unable to produce children as per certain genetic differences. The possibility of a born half vampire are more than extremely low.
A child between a human and a made (half)vampire is unlikely, but if born, most likely a full human.
Vampires' eyes turn more and more red when their hunger for blood reaches a specific point. When they're very hungry, their eyes start to glow.
The shade of red their eyes become can vary from more pink all the way to orange-like.
When not hungry, their eyes are normal colors like any human would have.
Their fangs are retractable as well. It's difficult to hide them when hungry, though, as they go out on their own. However, it's possible to learn to keep them in with training.
When it comes to the eye color, on the other hand, it's said that no vampire can hide that famously recognizable sign of their need for blood.
Stay tuned for more info soon
