‘eiji starts leading where ash left off’ OHMYGOSH YOUR MIND!!! i am such a sucker for bamf eiji ugh
GOD BOOD!!!!! catch me thinking incessantly about how banana fish lets us see ash exist in dualities on a pretty consistent basis but we only ever get some glimpse of what's on the other side of eiji's kind, innocent nature—someone who will break a window and hold a jagged shard of glass against his captor's neck, who infiltrates a mafia gathering and points a gun at the don without any hesitation, who will jump in front of a bullet without hesitation, who's willing to do anything for ash to be safe.
honestly, i think he could've been pushed a lot more in episode 19 without compromising his character, so this fic is 100% a self-indulgent foray into what it could've looked like 👀
