AtsuGin

AtsuGin is the het ship between Atsushi Nakajima and Gin Akutagawa from the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom.

Canon
Atsushi Nakajima and Gin Akutagawa first meet after Katai Tayama requests that Atsushi and Doppo Kunikida find the young woman who Katai is in love with.

During the Guild Aftermath Arc, Atsushi and Kunikida go to a broker who is also a former Armed Detective Agency member in order to look into the Moby Dick console. The two of them arrive at the broker's home, only to find him in a poor state. The broker's name is Katai Tayama, and he refused to help the agency look into the Moby Dick console until he found the one he loved in person. The person he loves is a beautiful young woman, whom he took a picture of and described as "Yamato Nadeshiko". After looking at the photo, Atsushi thought and stated that the young woman is very pretty.

At a different time, implied to be the day before, while driving, Ichiyou Higuchi sees Ryuunosuke Akutagawa going home with the same young woman that Atsushi and Kunikida were looking for the day after. Jealous and infuriated, Higuchi plots to find the young woman and receive information on why she was with Akutagawa the day before.

While Higuchi is trying to find the beautiful young woman, she is found by Atsushi and Kunikida. Kunikida then interrogates Higuchi, to which she responds by asking them if they know the identity of the young woman in the photo that Atsushi was holding. Atsushi tells her that they don't know the identity of the young woman either, but that they're trying to deliver a love letter to her. Higuchi then mistakes Atsushi for the one sending the young woman a love letter, thinking that he is "surprisingly bold". However, this leads her to realize that if Atsushi gives the young woman a love letter, then Akutagawa will supposedly break up with her, making Akutagawa available as her lover.

Higuchi then gives Atsushi her support and gives him advice on how to approach women in order to increase the chances of the young woman dating Atsushi. However, Katai interrupts the conversation and announces that he is the one who is delivering the letter, not Atsushi. The young woman then comes out of the dry cleaners, carrying Akutagawa's clothes. Atsushi points this out, causing Higuchi and Katai to chase after the young woman. It is then revealed that the young woman was Akutagawa's younger sister all along, Gin Akutagawa. Atsushi, Higuchi, and Kunikida are surprised that the beautiful young woman was Gin Akutagawa, causing Atsushi to say in a surprised tone that she's Akutagawa's little sister. After which, Katai gives his love letter to Gin, only for her to reject him. Although Atsushi has shown attraction towards Gin, such as when he didn't interrupt Higuchi when she matched him with Gin romantically, it is unknown if Gin herself is attracted to Atsushi, as the two have not interacted together enough to know for certain in canon.

Fanon
AtsuGin is considered a rare pair within the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom, as the two have had very few interactions with each other. Some speculate that they will have more interactions in the future as a result of Gin's older brother's (Akutagawa) current status. Its biggest rival ships are TachiGin, HiguGin, Shin Soukoku, AtsuLucy, and AtsuKyou.
