oh dear 🥲
so, i have a question for all of you that are still here!
since it's been so long since i've posted, should i discard the old requests and start entirely new?
or should i try to get through the old requests before i reopen for new ones?
or, in the middle, should i open the inbox while im still working on the old ones?
i'm not very sure what to do, since most people who sent in a request have probably forgotten by now, but if there's someone out there with enough patience to still be waiting then i don't want to disappoint! 💔

Would you ever perhaps do Kyojuro with a reader S/O that is physically a lot bigger than him? Just a lot taller and wider and physically very strong? I love the idea of their hugs making him feel safe and protected, and also flustered Kyo from being totally scooped up so effortlessly. I feel like not a lot of people in the world could make him feel that way but he deserves it, given how hard he protects everyone else all the time. Thank you if so and if not no worries!
(my first one in awhile, so sorry it took so long dear 😭 i hope this is good enough!! i'm still shaking off the writer's rust, so my apologies if it isn't quite the peak of quality! <3)
rengoku x reader (in which reader is much, much bigger than him)
all his life, ever since his mother died, rengoku has been the bigger person. the protector. the one to hold senjurou when he cried and carry him when he fell, clean up after his father's mess, protect the innocents who knew nothing of the world from the wicked demons. he'd accepted his position with grace and a smile, just like his mother taught him. because he was strong, and he was good, and he could handle it. he was expected to handle it.
now, he's found someone bigger.
and it's strange.
he didn't think much of your physical appearance at first. he knew himejima, and you were around the same height... probably. he never saw you two next to each other long enough to compare. he only knew he had to tilt his head back about the same to look at your face. which hurt his neck, so more often than not he didn't bother and stared straight forward at your chest instead.
he wasn't really sure why you laughed when he did, but you didn't demand that he look at you properly, so he didn't mind. he laughed along before continuing whatever conversation you'd been having, and that was the end of it.
until you started visiting the rengoku estate to train together. and then went on to stay for dinner. and then kept going from there.
shifting from allies to friends to dating seemed so natural that he hadn't even questioned it. he cared for you, and you cared for him, so it made sense! he just... didn't expect dating to be so physically different from friends. and now he's constantly reminded of just how small he is compared to you.
the first true realization is during one of your training sessions together, just after the first time you manage to knock him flat on his back. after the initial surprise, you give a loud bark of laughter as you drop your shinai to the ground, seemingly in disbelief. he laughs as well, delighted by your very first victory over him.
"bravo!" he booms, clapping his hands together and beaming at you. "i knew it was only a matter of time before you bested me! our training together truly is paying off!" you smile proudly back at him.
"thank you! i learned from the best," you say. before he can get up, you take two long strides toward him, bending down to hold out your hand.
and that's when he pauses. standing where you are, your tall frame manages to completely block out the sun, rendering him entirely within your shadow as light surrounds you like a halo. head tilted back to gaze up at you from the ground, something in his brain clicks.
"oh," he says, "you're very tall." you blink. and then you chuckle again, though your expression shows confusion.
"thank you? it ran in the family." you curl your fingers, silently urging him to take your hand, and he does. you pull him to his feet with ease. your shadow still engulfs him, and he takes a step away, back into the sun. "did it take you this long to notice?"
"of course not!" he stares at a button on your uniform as you dust off his shoulders. his face is tinged pink. "i just haven't quite... understood until now, i suppose." you hum, giving his clothes one last brush.
"it's pretty easy to understand. i'm big," you pat your chest, "and you're little." you put your hand on his head, giving his hair a teasing ruffle.
"ah!" he says, ducking away from you and shielding himself with both hands. "no, no, i'm afraid you have it wrong! you're merely..." he takes a hand from his head to wave it in your general direction, and you grin wider when words seem to fail him, "...large."
you tease him for a bit longer before he distracts you with continuing the training session. though the conversation ends, the thought lingers, and he finds himself making comparisons whenever you're near. studying how the training swords seem like baby toys in your hands. how the uniform is that much tighter around your arms and chest and thighs. teacups and utensils almost laughably tiny as you handle them with delicate care.
how he fits perfectly under your arm when he sits beside you. the way his hand disappears when you hold it just as delicately as the teacups despite both of your scars and blisters. the way your arms wrap around him so completely and make him feel very small and safe and whatever the positive version of claustrophobic is.
and then you pick him up.
he doesn't expect it. he's meditating outside, regulating his breathing, when you sneak up on him. but not really, because he can hear your near-silent footsteps stop in front of him. he was going to let you have your fun trying and failing to startle him, but you don't fail.
you succeed so well, in fact, that when he feels hands under his arms lifting him from the ground, his eyes fly open and his leg swings up and nearly nails you in the jaw.
"whoa, kyo, hey! it's just me!" you sound half amused, half alarmed as you hold him at arm's length. he freezes, and then he stares with wide, wide eyes as you give a hesitant laugh. "yeah... probably not a good idea to sneak up on a slayer. sorry." his lips part, preparing to speak, but nothing comes out. he doesn't know what to say.
he can't remember the last time he was held, and with so much ease. like he weighs hardly more than a newborn kitten.
your grin fades, and you lower him back to the ground, clearly taking his silence the wrong way. he grabs your wrists before you can retract your arms, closing his mouth and inhaling deeply through his nose. by the time he exhales, he's managed a smile.
"that's alright!" he says. "you merely startled me, no need to apologize! i was prepared for a shout or a touch on the shoulder, not... not that." his voice fades near the end, unintentionally. you look prepared to apologize again, so he lets go of your wrists to clasp one of your hands in both of his, bowing slightly over it. "please forgive my poor reaction! i haven't been held in such a way for a very long time and let my instincts get the better of me!"
"oh, no, that's okay." when he glances up at your expression, you seem thoughtful. "is it... fine if i hold you? i wanted to, but if you don't like it-"
"of course!" he cuts you off, loud and dare you say, eager? he squeezes your hand tighter, then lets go. "i would only request that you don't surprise me in the future, or i won't be responsible for what i might do!"
"aw," you say. "you mean i have to warn you before i do-" you stoop down, sweep one arm under his knees, catch him around the shoulders before he falls, and straighten up, "-this?"
"hm," he says. you moved slow, giving him more than enough time to dance away or stop you. he did no such thing, and now he lies giddy and awkward against your chest, high above the ground, his cheeks as flame-touched as his hair as his smile grows wide and wild. he wrestles his arm out where it's squished between you, throwing it around the back of your neck. his other hand raises to your cheek.
"i told you. i won't be responsible for what i'll do."
he's still smiling when he leans up from your arms to kiss you.

Hi! Can I request Kyojuro with a s.o./crush who'll get really excited about something and start rambling, but then suddenly stop talking because they've been told they talk too much? And the s.o./crush is worried he'll think they're annoying? Thank you! I love your writing!
(hey there hun!! thank you so much, i'm glad you enjoy it!! ❤️ and honestly just reading this ask put a little smile on my face because as someone who rambles far too much, i definitely relate far too hard with this, lol ^^; thank you for your request!! i hope you like it! my apologies if it feels a mite short, and that it's so late :') ❤️)
kyojuro x reader (in which reader rambles and kyojuro loves it)
kyojuro may not be sure what you're talking about a lot of the time, but he does know that he could listen to you talk for hours, regardless of whether he understands or not. it's not always about what you're saying. it's about how you say it.
every time he asks you a question and your eyes light up, he feels his heart skip. watching you go through a range of emotions as you talk, making sure to express absolutely everything you feel with your hands and your face and your body language so he knows exactly how much it affects you, it makes him smile like a smitten fool. and your voice itself is the prettiest music to his ears, one he could listen to forever. even if you don't feel the same about him, he's proud to at least call himself your friend.
so when you suddenly go quiet in the middle of a story you'd been telling about your last mission and press your lips together, your hands freezing in midair before slowly lowering down, he snaps to attention. he'd been leaning his cheek against his hand, watching you with a soft smile, but now he sits up straight.
"...and then what happened?" he asks, noticing how you jump almost guiltily, avoiding his eyes. "surely that isn't the end of it!"
"i, uh..." you wring your hands together, avoiding his gaze. normally it’s him that won’t look at you properly. "i don't want to... bore you or something. it's really not that interesting, i don't even know why i'm telling you. you probably don't even care. sorry." it takes him a moment to truly process what you’re saying, and when he does, his slight smile drops.
he’s been told countless times by countless people that he never seems like he’s listening. airheaded, they called him. he thought you would have known by now that even if it seems like he isn’t, he always pays rapt attention to your conversations, even if he doesn’t quite meet your gaze or speak very much. he can’t look you in the eyes too long without getting flustered, after all, and he enjoys hearing your voice more than his own.
“i apologize,” he says, “i’m being a terrible audience, aren’t i?” if he hadn’t bowed his head, he would have seen your bewildered look. “i can assure you that i was listening very closely! even if it didn’t seem like it! i treasure every word you speak, and i apologize that i made you feel any less than appreciated!” the quiet that falls is awkward, but he doesn’t look up until you clear your throat.
“you-you don’t need to apologize,” you say. when he lifts his head, he sees that you’re blushing, staring at the ground. “i just didn’t want to bother you, is all. i know i talk a lot more than i should, and that it can get really annoying when i don't stop.”
“who told you that?” he demands, cutting you off before you can continue. odd. he never interrupts. you blink.
“oh, um. people?” you gesture vaguely. “a lot of people. i just... i’m sorry. you’re one of my best friends, and you’re too nice to tell me if i’m annoying you-”
“do i annoy you?” he interrupts, smiling, and your words stutter for a moment.
“of course not!” you manage to get out, shaking your head.
“you don’t believe that i’m too loud? i’m not too cold or indifferent or distracted? i don’t act too superior?” he smiles wider when you shake your head again, waving your hands to deny further and varying versions of “no” spilling from your mouth. “tell me, then. how is it that you think i find you to be a bother? to tell the truth, i find your ramblings very endearing!” he leans his cheek on his hand once more, watching your lips open and close as a light flush spreads over your cheeks. clearly, that hadn't been what you were expecting him to say.
"do you really?" you eventually say, tentative but hopeful. he gives a single firm nod.
"very much so! i would even go so far as to call it the best part of my day!" he lifts his other hand, turning it in a gentle circle, gesturing for you to continue. "you were saying? the demon leaped at you, and then...?" you fidget in place, visibly chewing on your words. he waits patiently, his smile never faltering.
eventually, he's rewarded once again with the soothing sound of your voice, rapid and excitable and sometimes indecipherable, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

I love your writing! I think you write kyojuro so in character and often refer to your posts for ideas on his characterization. Could you do your take on a meet-cute (or, more likely, meet-but-not-very-cute) with Kyojuro and a demon reader that doesn't kill people?
(aww, thank you so much, dear! that's extremely kind of you to say! characterization has always been one of my few strengths, i'm glad you sweethearts enjoy it! :) and goodness, i absolutely love that idea! i do so hope that i don't disappoint! thank you for your request, love!)
rengoku x reader (in which reader is a demon that doesn't kill humans)
warnings: mild gore/violence, minor self-harm, minor suicidal thoughts/actions 
you thought you were doing well at hiding yourself from the hunters you somehow, subconsciously, know about. you hadn't hurt anyone, not as far as you knew, and you stayed as far away from the humans as possible so the insistent ache of hunger didn't tempt you (too much). you tried to stay on the move, never lingering for too long lest the hunters find you.
the emphasis being on tried. you slipped up and got seen by someone you shouldn’t have, and now there's a flaming man on your tail with the most terrifying intensity you've ever seen in your afterlife.
he’s obviously not a normal human, and even if he hadn’t been keeping up with your supernatural speed with ease and spitting fire from his sword, you would have known this. his hair is gold and red, as wild as the fire he wields, and his haori flutters in his wake like a trail of flames. even his eyes seem to spark, wide and bright and ever so focused on you.
you’ve been running from him for the better part of an hour, and honestly, you have no idea how you’ve survived for so long. you know he’s powerful. his blade has cut through you a dozen times already, and though the wounds have healed, the feeling of burning from the inside out isn’t something you’ll forget soon. it’s like hes toying with you, but somehow, you know that isn’t the case. despite his determination to destroy you, he doesn’t strike you as particularly cruel.
then again, you think as the business end of his sword leaves a scorching trail from one shoulder to the other, you’re not in a state where you can make proper deductions. you cry out and fall to your knees at the blow, flames licking at your skin even as it knits back together, your nicked spine cracking grossly as it struggles to reform.
“your healing rate is slow,” a voice behind you says. you make a strangled sound, only distantly aware of your hands rising, fingers lacing together at the back of your neck to protect it. it’s an instinctual movement, one you aren’t sure of the reason for. you feel the heat of his blade as it hovers near your face. “you still react to pain as well. that means you must be a new demon, and a weak one at that. how long ago were you created?” he waits as you struggle to take in air, the pain ebbing away to about the severeness of a really bad sunburn. once you’re sure you can speak, you turn to peer at him over your shoulder, taking him in properly now that he isn’t leaping after you at the speed of light.
despite yourself, you can’t help but think he smells absolutely decadent even with his sword next to your throat. his face is blank, but his curious eyes give him away, flickering over you. he never meets your gaze.
“two months,” you say hoarsely, swallowing back drool that starts to pool in your mouth. “please. i haven’t hurt anyone.” at that, he finally looks you in the eye. you have to resist shrinking away, looking back with as much sincerity as you can muster and probably coming off as desperate. his curiosity intensifies. the sword moves a scant few inches away from your neck, but not far enough for you to risk running.
“an interesting claim,” he says. “with how weak you are, i can almost believe it!” which, ow. you haven’t managed to measure your strength against any other demons, but you didn’t think you were that weak, especially with your seemingly endless stamina and tree-uprooting strength. then again, this man gives off the impression of having faced countless other demons before you, so he more than likely knows better.
“tell me, demon,” he begins, the flat side of the blade tapping your shoulder, and you flinch away with a hiss as your skin smolders, “did you think i’d fall for it?”
“w-what?”
“do you believe,” he continues, perfectly even without a hint of malice, “that i am a fool?” you stare at him, eyes wide. “many have claimed the same thing. do you know how many were telling the truth?” he quiets, seeming expectant. waiting for a response, you realize, and you clear your throat anxiously.
“how many?”
“not a single one.” you grimace. with how horribly the hunger gnaws at you, picking and tearing at your insides and screaming for you to turn around and bite, to peel the flesh away from this hunter’s bones and gorge yourself, you can’t say you’re entirely surprised. his head tilts, regarding you like one would a cornered animal. “i will at least give you this. you’re the first one to claim such a thing without the evidence all over your person.” it doesn’t make you feel any better.
“so?” you croak out, swallowing again when saliva flows past your lips. you should be panicking, you think. crying, screaming, begging for your life, something. but all you feel is a bone-deep weariness. the weight of resignation slowly settles on your shoulders. “you’re still going to kill me, aren’t you? just get it over with.” you unclasp your hands from your throat, leaving it bare as you wipe the drool from your chin. you’ve been trembling, but now you fall still, closing your eyes.
if you hadn’t done that, you might have seen the flicker of surprise on the hunter’s face as you tilt your head, exposing yourself more to him. it could be a trap, he knows. he’d fallen for one before, and he paid the price for it. but back then, he’d been new, fresh and dumb where the demon had been experienced. it’s the opposite situation, now. 
but something tells him if he swings his sword, you won’t dodge.
he hums to himself, coming to a decision. he raises his sword. you visibly tense, but don’t move to cover yourself. and even if you had, you wouldn’t be fast enough.
nothing happens except for a faint snick. you sit, still and confused, until the scent hits you. your body goes rigid, eyes snapping wide open as you swivel your head towards him. your nostrils flare, and this time you don’t try to stop yourself from salivating.
blood wells up from the shallow cut he’s made on his palm, redness beading up until it lazily oozes down the side of his hand, dripping from his knuckles. it’s the first time you’ve experienced human blood since you’ve transformed, and it’s overwhelming. your hunger spikes, and your stomach and your throat growl in tandem as you give your full attention to the wonderfully fragrant crimson liquid. your legs tense, about to leap.
but.
you don’t.
it could be the fact that you know if you dare try to attack him, you’ll die. it could be your body shutting down, embracing death before it strikes. it could be humanity, reminding you how wrong it is to want to eat someone, someone just as alive as you. (even more so, if you want to get technical.)
whatever the case is, you stay where you are. and after a few moments pass, with a great deal of effort, you squeeze your eyes shut and turn away. it doesn’t help. not really. but it makes you feel more in control.
it’s silent for a long time. 
“okay!” you don’t dare look. there’s the sound of rustling, and then the scent of blood fades slightly. your head clears minutely, your breathing coming easier. you only crack an eye open when you hear an unexpected sound. the sound of a sword being sheathed.
the hunter beams at you, brilliant and true as he ties off the cloth he’s wrapped around his hand, then holds it out to you. you gape.
“my name is rengoku kyoujurou! we may have gotten off on the wrong foot, but i believe we can come to an understanding!” the moonlight reflects off his golden hair, his earnest eyes, making him almost glow before you. together with the grin and the fact that he’s no longer flooding with killing intent, you come to a horrible, horrible realization in the form of your thoughts coming to a screeching stop.
your type is people with sunshiny smiles who want to kill you, apparently.
stupidly, you accept his hand.
