My and @instant-bull's one of hundreds of random AUs: in which Dai recognizes how bad Sakumo is doing mentally and decides to help his hurting friend as much as he can: up to a point of living together, to make sure both he and his boy are taken care of. It's good for everyone involved really: Kakashi has a playmate, Gai has someone to bounce energy off with, taxes are being paid, and Dai and Sakumo don't suffer from male loneliness stresses of being a single father in the crumbling economy of pre-war Konoha. I'm just a sucker for found family tropes, sometimes I just want these goddamn ninjas to be happy...

@aheonynan kindly lended me their lines to do some coloring work over (thank you once again!<3). I had so much fun with this, I used a palette and a light source I usually don't do and it was plenty educative, having to work with your usual coloring style to match someone else's drawing.

I'm getting out of my comfort zone with these jojo posters; I never do flat designs like so, but it's a lot of fun :--)

Below cut is the intial version of this poster; I never got around posting it here, so I'm doing a side-by-side comparison for your viewing pleasure
