Ayamura

Ayamura is the het ship between Yukito Ayatsuji and Mizuki Tsujimura from the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom.

Canon
Ayatsuji is a dangerous ability user known as the “Homicide Detective.” Tsujimura is an agent in the Special Division for Unusual Powers. Tsujimura was assigned to monitor him, whom she refers to as “Ayatsuji-Sensei” as a form of respect. Ayatsuji prefers to work alone, though when a case is very difficult, he is willing to accept help from Tsujimura. Sometimes, he even likes Tsujimura's company. He often teases her, finding her reactions entertaining while Tsujimura gets annoyed and often flustered. It is shown Ayatsuji cares deeply for Tsujimura, as he betrays the Special Division for Unusual Powers to protect her—He is also willing to sacrifice his life for Tsujimura. The first time we see them interacting, Ayatsuji was solving a murder case in a church. Shortly after Ayatsuji solved the case, Tsujimura goes to him to give him a sermon. Ayatsuji tells him that “his time is as graceful as ever. ” The culprit ran towards Tsujimura in an attempt to escape. Ayatsuji shouted telling her to catch him because the man was the culprit. Tsujimura kicked him, grabbed the ground with his arm behind her. She tells the immobilized man that he has to stay quiet and who has the right to remain silent and have a lawyer if he wants. Ayatsuji provokes her by saying that she has a predilection for these sayings. Tsujimura again gave him a sermon saying that the next time he goes alone he will be reported to his superiors. But Ayatsuji does not seem to care. Ayatsuji tells her to release the culprit, which leaves her confused and a little reluctant. But in the end, when she released him, the culprit ran out towards the exit, but the stained glass above broke and fell on the culprit, killing him. The next day, Tsujimura goes to Ayatsuji's office, she calls him to let him know about her arrival, then he says she was late and asks him if he was getting a lecture from his superior, Tsujimura denies but his reaction to the surrender. But before Tsujimura enters the room, she says "Your mistake and I were born at the same time." Ayatsuji was reading a book and ignored Tsujimura's presence, making her angry and threatening him by saying that depending on the conduct can shoot him to death, Ayatsuji doesn't seem to care and says that he is a very effective threat, and tells him that he will respect her if she makes him a coffee, Tsujimura is surprised by the simple request and makes the coffee, but soon after doing so his record falls and she gets angry saying that she is not his maid. They start arguing about yesterday's case. After a while of discussion, Tsujimura tells him that his oversight is a privilege of the government, and that he should be more grateful, Ayatsuji says that he is grateful, and that made Tsujimura blush, but she soon gets irritated again when Ayatsuji says he is thankful that someone easy to deal with like her was sent. Ayatsuji says that since she made the coffee she could put it on the table, when he drinks the coffee he says that it is not bad, and Tsujimura thanks, again blushing with the compliment. Ayatsuji teases Tsujimura, remarking if she wants to be a maid she should change into a maid outfit.

Tsujimura and Ayatsuji then head to the well's location. Near the well, they find four bamboo blades and six round stones. Ayatsuji deduces that the objects are related to a curse. The two then leave the area. Tsujimura tells that they need to lab check the objects and they have to find other leads as it is only a regular well. During this investigation, Ayatsuji attempts to make Tsujimura lick a leaf to find salt in it, just for fun. When she realizes he’s attempting to trick her, Ayatsuji seems greatly disappointed. However, Ayatsuji tells otherwise saying that the well is their first and last lead for the case. He then shares about a common thread among ghost stories - that being having wells and spirits dwelling in them. Ayatsuji deduces that the culprit has a thing for wells and the culprit set it up to look like the well is haunted. Intrigued, Tsujimura asks Ayatsuji if he already identified the culprit of the crime. Just then, Ayatsuji orders Tsujimura to check the vicinity of the well tomorrow and there should be something on it. He further asks Tsujimura about what the reporter said to her about the well, and tells that the well is a test to establish evil and urges Tsujimura that they need to catch the culprit who created the setup or more murder rates will multiply by hundred in the country. He then orders Tsujimura to look at the well with a colleague and looks forward to her performance.

After the incident that claimed the lives of the special forces, Tsujimura meets Ayatsuji in front of the Ministry of Justice for her testimony. As Tsujimura becomes anxious, Ayatsuji tells her not to expect him saying that she "only made a natural, rookie mistake" and to "be careful next time", as he claims that there is no next time in matters regarding life and death. Tsujimura then muses on her ability, which does not follow her orders and which she knows almost nothing about.

Fanon
Ayatsuji is not a very popular character in the fandom, as he only appears in the game and light novel; Ayamura is rather overshadowed by its rival ship TsujiChuu. Despite this, some people believe that this ship could become canon, because of Tsujimura's hinted attraction to Ayatsuji and their close bond.
