I've often been thinking (and this is a sign to write a fic I guess) about Tsujimura and Ango workplace romance. Coworkers to lovers. Might start casual, may or may not go steady. They stay in the office to "work overtime". idk. all her simping to Sakaguchi-senpai in the manga got me hmmmMMMMmMmMM. He treats her well too, they seem to be on good terms. And hot couple would be hot. I'm a weak bisexual...

i hope you write it!! i think there is not enough tsujimura fan art/fic in this fandom ;_; i've done my best to contribute to tsujimura nation but it's hard out there for a gaiden enjoyer. i do super agree that he really seems to have like. an interesting "soft" spot for her despite putting up a cold/harsh exterior? i think post-dark era ango really took dazai's "everything i want i lose" mini speech to heart, and i think he's actually been WORSE about avoiding close relationships with the people around him than dazai. like dazai keeps his distance from his peers too but i also think dazai is a natural extrovert (the fandom tends to disagree with me on this kjfgskjdf but idk i think dazai very clearly desires to be around people but punishes himself by avoiding them. born 2 extrovert forced 2 introvert etc etc) whereas i do think ango is more of a natural introvert already, so like between that and his enormous guilt over what happened in dark era, he's so so reticent to even appear approachable to his colleagues and subordinates i think. which just makes a potential relationship between ango and tsujimura even more spicy to me. tsujimura also has so much baggage and i think ango would be a really interesting person to help her unpack this too? especially with the way his ability works and whatnot. they're an interesting pair!
