The Little Tiger and the Owl [Tentative Title]

[Attention] [Highlight] [Let me repeat this one more time] This is a 1v1 crossover pairing of Chrome from "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" and Atsushi from "Bungo Stray Dogs." Before reading the blurb, please consider carefully whether you're okay with cross-series pairings. If you're completely on board... what are you waiting for? Come on in and have fun! -- 1. Eighteen-year-old Chrome came to Yokohama on a business trip to negotiate a deal with a certain port company on behalf of the Vongola as its Mist Guardian. The nights in Yokohama were chilly. Beneath the cold, lonely moonlight, mud-covered strays ran through dark alleys. On the night she had originally planned to leave, she took to the streets and encountered a white tiger in a deep alley. It was covered in dirt, and its claws were still flecked with tufts of torn fur. Chrome: Oh, an injured kitty! 2. During a mission for the Detective Agency, Nakajima Atsushi had carelessly underestimated his opponent and gotten hurt. He had no choice but to hide in an alley and rest for a while. Beneath the shimmering moonlight, he saw a girl with purple hair. The girl looked frail, awkward, shy, and red-cheeked, like the timid girl he remembered from the orphanage, who was always huddled in a corner because of her poor health. Oh no, he thought. I'm going to scare an ordinary person again. Unexpectedly, the girl approached with light steps and held out a hand. "You're hurt. Want to come with me?" 3. Many years later, as they walked hand in hand beneath the setting sun, Nakajima Atsushi said: "The tiger's ability isn't really healing. It's more like a refusal to die." "Mm," Chrome replied softly, as she always did. "So I'm grateful to it. It helped me refuse death countless times, and that's how I eventually met you." Chrome gently touched the Vongola ring on her hand. "Me too." "I refused to die again and again, and then I met you." A totally irresponsible little skit: R: The family's deal is settled, we've gained an ally, and our enemies have fallen. We have a bright future ahead of us. 27: But where's my Mist Guardian? Where's my obedient, sensible, capable Mist Guardian?! (gesticulates wildly) -- The main plot takes place at the Detective Agency, with original slice-of-life stories that are sweet, heartwarming, healing, or silly. Timeline: Chrome and Atsushi are both eighteen. Since this doesn't involve the original plot, you can read it as an alternate universe. Other anime and manga characters may make guest appearances from time to time. Theme: Saving each other
