Timeline isn’t gonna match up or make sense so don’t think about it. This was for an OC I didn't care enough to fully flesh out. Kinda sorta post-canon (all Hashira alive). Little OOC so don't think about that either. Might do a part 2 with background. She/Her pronouns (I'm sorry. I'm lazy)

Tomioka Giyuu isn’t what you would call, active. In fact, the thought of him having a life outside the Demon Corps never crossed the Hashira’s minds (mostly because they didn’t think he had one IN the corps either).

—

He was early. Extremely early, actually. Tomioka was not the latest Hashira by any means but, up so early was, off, to say the least. Shinobu noted this when saying her ‘hellos’ to present Hashira. Tomioka, of course, stood off to the side, not making an effort to interact with anyone aside from a simple “Good Morning.” Even for the ever stoic Tomioka this behavior was weird.

“I guess he remembered us after all.” Shinazugawa hissed coming to the group. It was true that the last three meetings Tomioka had missed (granted they’ve all missed meetings due to work but never three in a row) and the thought of Tomioka slacking off and getting off scotch free added on to Shinazugawa’s ever-growing list of reasons to hate Tomioka.

“It must have been a hard mission.” Kanaroji chimed in.

This didn’t sway Shinobu or Shinazugawa. Shinobu knew it couldn’t have been missions for the last three months, Tomioka hadn’t stopped by the Butterfly Mansion once, not even to get ointment for aches and pains. Strong as they are, the Hashira are not invincible. In fact Tomioka hadn’t been badly injured since last spring. Shinobu knew all this. Even outside of missions Tomioka had just been missing overall. It’s like the silence was even quieter without him there. She peered over to Rengoku and Himajima who looked notably tired well- as tired as they possibly could -as they both lightly chatted with amongst themselves. Tomioka would say something back to them and then go back to staring blankly at the porch.

“He’s finally starting to slack off.” Obanai hissed from up high, the group now noticing he’s been here. “I hope he doesn’t think getting here early will absolve him.”

“Obanai you don’t mean Tomioka got here before you?” Shinobu teased

With a fluster shifting of his eyes, Obanai chose to glare at Giyuu rather than return her gaze. “I saw him coming from inside. Maybe Master snapped on him.”

Though they all doubted Master Ubuyashiki would ever raise his voice, the thought did fill Shinazugawa with momentary joy.

With the final Hashira, Muchiro, walking into the garden it was only a matter of time before the Master appeared. With the opening of the door, everyone’s head snapped up and voices hushed. Shinobu snuck a glance at Tomioka who seemed slightly off. He stood a little too straight and struggled to not ball his fist. Obanai’s theory suddenly seemed more plausible.

—

With the meeting concluded you could practically hear the sigh escape Giyuu’s lips as he walked to the porch. He could feel all the eyes on him as he stepped up there only to be stopped by Hinaki.

“I have to ask that you wait here.” She said calmly.

“But me and Hiro-“

“OI! Have some respect Tomioka!” Shinazugawa yelled. He approached the porch. “Who do you think you are to go around ordering people?!”

He caught Giyuu’s glare from on high. His unchanging eyes shifting back to Hinaki only angered Shinagawa more. “He’s looking down on me,” Shinazugawa thought this an act of war.

Glaring back at him, he said “It’s one thing for you to skip meetings but to disrespect the Master’s family.”

“I’m not disrespecting her, I had a question.” Giyuu replied plainly. He was feeling slightly annoyed and very fearful now. This was not how today was supposed to go. He turned back to Hinaki, “Please, we must be on our way-“

“You bastard.” Shinazugawa was already reaching to pull Giyuu off the porch (not wanting to beat him on the porch, that would be disrespectful). Giyuu was ready to draw his sword when the sound of footsteps alerted them all. Out from the door burst Kiriya and another small child. They maneuvered around Giyuu and Hanaki before Kiriya had tripped taking the small boy with him. Before they could launch themselves off the porch Giyuu caught one under each arm and held onto Hinaki’s collar to keep her from falling over.

He set the children down gently, “Forgive me please, Ubuyashiki-san.”

“No, thank you Tomioka-San.” Hinaki replied, graceful as ever. Lady Ubuyashiki was quick behind them to collect her son. Giyuu apologized once again.

“Hiroshi,” Giyuu turned back to the small boy. He stood slightly behind Kiriya with his head low in shame. Giyuu knelt down, “You should apologize to Lady Ubuyashiki and Hinaki.”

Big blue eyes filled with embarrassment the boy complied. Lady Ubuyashiki smiled kindly, “Please be careful next time you return.”

“He can come back?” Kiriya asked

“As long as Tomioka is okay with it.” She smiled kindly

“Of course.” Giyuu replied as the three kids waved off. “Come on, we’re going home.” The boy followed behind Giyuu quietly. He had a small round face and wild black hair sticking out in all directions. Following along, Hiroshi started to sniffle and finally stopped on the bottom step, tugging on Giyuu’s haori.

“What’s wrong?” Giyuu asked

“I’m sorry Papa.” He cried softly as Giyuu picked him up in his arms trying to soothe the boy.

“It’s okay Hiroshi, I know it was an accident but there’s two of you and only one Hinaki. She could have been hurt. Please be more careful.”

The boy nodded sniffling into his fathers shoulder.

The remaining Hashira stared in astonishment at the action. By the time he got his son to calm down Giyuu had finally noticed that he never left the garden and out the front of the home as intended. Still holding Hiroshi, Giyuu bowed his goodbye and left the garden. Before the rest of Hashira could finish processing what just happened Rengoku and Himajime also left quietly behind him.

—

The next meeting came about a month and a half later. This time Giyuu entered at his normal time with Muichiro coming afterwards. He actively stood apart hoping they all would have forgotten (they didn’t), and suffered silently as the many eyes bore into his head.

It wasn’t just Giyuu, Shinobu was also shooting her glance to Himejima and Rengoku. Himejima was holding up well (surprisingly) but Rengoku was going to pop. Unbeknownst to everyone else, Tengen spent the last week and a half trying to break whatever secret Tomioka had about the same child out of him. An unstoppable force and an immovable object and all that.

Giyuu was silently praying for this meeting to end soon and end this mental game all the Hashira were taking part in. He had already prepared an exit tragedy to get out with the least amount of questions. He looked at Rengoku and Himejima. The game plan was set and they just need to be ready to go.

You could feel the tension ease when Master Ubuyashiki called the meeting to a close. They all stood quietly, paitiently waiting for him to go inside before all hell broke loose. And just as the door closed Lady Ubuyashiki called out, “Tomioka-San. A word please.”

Rengoku was screaming on the inside as Giyuu looked over to him briefly. Tengen hardly waited for Giyuu to take a single step, “How come you two got to know but we didn’t?”

“A secret child Tomioka?” Shinobu called out “You must not like us if we didn’t get to know.”

“It’s not that…” Giyuu finally broke his silence. He reached for the door when it suddenly swung open and the little pitter of footsteps was heard. Giyuu jumped back and was quick to catch the small figure barreling towards him, “Hiroshi!? What are you doing here?”

“Mama hurt her feet.” Hiroshi replied like it was obvious. All heads snapped to the door and out stepped a woman on a pink kimono.

“(Y/N)?” He looked surprised.

“Ah, Giyuu!” She peered up walking over to him

“What happened?” He stepped closer to hold onto her waist.

“Just some sores and aches. Lady Ubuyashiki has been so kind.” She turned to both of them “It’s been in honor in your presence.”

“The pleasure is ours, Lady Tomioka.”

And that’s what broke the string holding all together. The family wordlessly walked off the porch and headed to leave..

Shinobu called out “T-Tomioka?!”

“Yes?” Said (Y/N) and Hiroshi as all three turned to face them.

“Oh! Rengoku-San, Himajime-San! So good to see you both.” (Y/N) smiled

Himejima finally exhaled as both men walked over to greet (Y/N). Both of them gave Giyuu an apologetic look. Hiroshi looked over their shoulders to the remaining Hashira still in a daze. Looking at them side by side there was no denying it. Hiroshi is identical to Giyuu, just smaller and with the cutest round face that Mitsuri just had to gush over.

“You are so cute! Like a mini Tomioka!” She squealed.

“Your hair looks like mochi!” Hiroshi stayed proudly. “Mama, can we get mochi!”

(Y/N) smiled, “That sounds like our que. It was an honor to meet you all.”

The family walked out the garden, with Rengoku and Himejima sneaking out with them.

“What the fuck just happened?” Shinazugawa broke the silence.

—

The next meeting was well over two months and the pillars were determined to not let Giyuu go without answers. Especially since he’d recently had to heal up at the Butterfly Mansion while Shinobu was out. Before he could even think of leaving they had him cornered, Obanai watching over Rengoku and Himejima.

“When were you gonna tell us you were married?!” Uzui shouted

“No one asked and I’d rather have a small wedding…” Giyuu answered plainly.

“What about your ring then?”

Giyuu pulled down his collar to show a silver ring on a chain tucked into his undershirt.

“How did you two find out then?” Obanai hissed.

“Tomioka requested I accompany him on a mission so he could be home earlier,” Himejima stated.

“I had an urgent matter with the Master and happened to meet them all as they were leaving.” Rengoku said.

“Wait so Master knows too?” Mitsuri asked

“Yes, they were at the wedding.” Giyuu replied.

“You are unbelievable.” Shinazugawa muttered. “How were you able to get married?”

Giyuu didn’t seem to have an answer. It’s something he thought to himself many times but when (Y/N) smiled at him he always forgot about it. Before he could try to answer, he heard (Y/N) calling out to him. The Hashira were surprised to (Y/N) walk up in a demon slayer uniform and golden checkered haori. She smiled and bowed to the Hashira, “Hello, I hope I’m not interrupting.”

“No, I'm done here.” Giyuu replied.

“Wait, Tomioka!” Shinobu called as they turned to leave.

“Yes?” They both answered to Shinobu’s annoyance. They did it again.

(Y/N) nudged Giyuu forward as she assumed they meant him. Uzui cut in, “We only wanted to officially meet you, Lady Tomioka.”

“Oh!” (Y/N) smiled “I’m honored to meet you all, I am Tomioka (Y/N), (Y/N) is fine.”

“It's so good to meet you! How long have you and Giyuu been together?” Mitsuri asked, the only genuine person in all this.

“I’ve known him since I joined the Corps, we met while I was on my way to a job, it was in separate areas but we met up on the way back.” (Y/N) answered recalling their younger years.

“We’ve been married for five years.” Giyuu answered. The Hashira took note that their son looked about that age. It took all of Uzui’s strength for him to not comment on it.

“How sweet!” Mitsuri cheered “I had no idea you had such a happy family Tomioka!”

“We try not to talk about it,” (Y/N) smiled. A lot more open than Giyuu but (Y/N) also enjoyed their privacy. “Up until now, only Master Ubuyashiki knew. Hiroshi and Kiriya became good friends.”

The Hashira had a million other questions but they tethered on inappropriate or just plain mean. Out of respect for Lady Tomioka, they held themselves together. The strangeness of the situation wasn’t lost on either of them. They were happy though. The couple said their goodbyes and turned to leave. The Hashira saw the tension lift off Giyuu’s shoulders as he smiled with his wife.

“Why must we question Tomioka,” Himejima spoke once they left. “Lord Uzui is married with three wives.”

“Yeah but that was before he joined the corps,” Sanemi said “We didn’t know him then, we know Tomioka- barley. He’s a fucking buzzkill and he has a sweet woman that not only married him but slept with him at least once!?”

With those “graceful” last words they parted for the evening.

Low-Key Married AU fluff

Kochou said that I was disliked, so I asked her if she disliked me too. For someone so quick to have a smiling response to everything, she struggled to reply. She was the one who proposed marriage and swayed me, so I had thought that meant she had feelings for me. There would be no other way to read it. However, with as unbothered as she is by my absence, I have to wonder.

It’s been ten days since I had last contact with her. I went home to the Butterfly Mansion, but she had just departed for a mission, so I didn’t stay long so as not to trouble the girls. It may still be a few days before I can return again, but it’s always likely she’ll be busy. She’s incredible in that way, taking on all the care of our injured Corp members in addition to her Pillar missions. It must be in her personality to keep adding to what keeps her busy, like taking me in as though I looked like I needed the care. Although the times we’ve spent together have been nice, I don’t require it. My duties call for me to always be ready for battle, and I’ve always kept my heart steady.

So has she. We are Pillars first, and no amount of affection can sway us—whether an abundance or a lack.

I’m not bothered by lacking something I didn’t deserve in the first place.

Last night again, I was too late to prevent a family from being slaughtered. There were no survivors this time, aside from the eldest child who was still ravenous with a recent transformation. Having to chase him down and keep him from harming anyone else kept me off the trail of the progenitor of demons, who had to have been close by. For centuries, he’s evaded us this way over and over, sacrificing entire families to throw us off his trail. If I were to chide myself over every failure, I would have lost the ability to do anything ages ago. Each time, the anger is something I carry with me, to push myself harder the next time, and the next. Any extent more that I can push myself may be the difference to someone’s survival, no one can afford to lose their life over any of my own lost confidence.

“CAW!! TOMIOKA GIYUUUU! NEWS FOR TOMIOKA GIYUUUU!”

Each time it's a crow I think I recognize, my stomach drops. My mind is already playing the words I dread to hear, as though trying to protect my mind once I someday hear them.

"Kochou Shinobu has died."

Even if I hear them, I'm a Pillar first. That was what we promised each other. I'll always do as I must.

The crow says nothing as it delivers a letter.

YES, YES, I KNOW, THIS FANDOM HAS TURNED ME INTO SHIPPER TRASH. For this pairing, it was more specifically my own joke AU which later bit me in the back and made me start really, really enjoying GiyuShino (which, for the record, I do not consider canon). Was throwing ideas back and forth with @reicchel again the other day and so here we are with ship content!

Part of the reason I love the Low-Key Married AU (in which it's mostly canon as usual, except that Shinobu and Giyuu have been married for over a year or so, and it's not a secret but they make such little deal about it that many people don't even know they're married) is that it's a frame through which to see every interaction and either make it really, really funny, or very, very, sad. Everything was supposed to be funny, but it keeps hurting, hahaha... aaahhhh.

For instance, in a regular romcom situation, it should be funny that Kanzaburo doesn't deliver all of Giyuu's letters. Knowing these two, who might had started this whole "well, we'll be a couple when we have time" thing by actively writing regular letters, this could had simply given the impression that the other person wasn't writing as much, so they both naturally decreased frequency to match. It's a little lonely, but neither one is going to push the other for more attention.

No!! I refuse to let this post end with angst! Time for omake!!!

#I spent a few days enjoying high-brow Noh and now I'm back to shipper trash #giyushino #giyuu x shinobu #tomioka giyuu #tomioka giyu #kocho shinobu #kochou shinobu #my art #too bad for you Tanjiro your karma in this AU had to even out somehow #also that is the happiest Giyuu I have ever drawn and it's adorable #GiyuShino Low Key Married AU

Kimetsu Academy au!

Hashira high-school era!

(minus Mitsuri, Shinobu and Muichiro, plus Kagaya, Masachika and Murata.)

Tomioka liked hanging out in the kendō storage room, freely practicing in peace, not wanting to attract much attention to himself. He used to invite murata to spar from time to time. The janitor, Urokodaki, past kendō champion noticed and started making a training regime for them. After a while, people started noticing how worn out and bruised those two were after lunch, and were concerned, worried they might be bullied, and when they were asked about it, they replied saying : '' We're fine, we were just working in the kendō storage room. '' everyone knew there was more to it, but they left it at that.

Uzui is one of those rich kids with pressuring parents. He doesn't give two shits about studies, but he's surprisingly capable of acing his tests. After he graduates, his father and mother get into an accident, giving him the freedom to get into an arts university.

Iguro was fostered by the rengoku family after his family was locked up for abuse. He wasn't the most sociable person but he enjoyed Shinazugawa's company, they usually had lunch on the roof top silently enjoying the breeze.

Kanae was the one who got the group together for study sessions. They all got tutored by Himejima, since he was a university student at the time. She and Uzui even invited Ubuyashiki to join them, knowing full well he already had a tutor, but still wanting to spend time with him. (he's Tengen's age in canon, so it'd be nice to think of him enjoying his teenage years.)

Shinazugawa was one of the nicest kids in middle school, but after his dad got convincted, he had to go through so much emotional stress, and didn't have much free time to spend with his friends. He became more gruff and unfriendly, but his closest friends since middle school, Kanae, Giyuu and Masachika saw through the tough exterior, making sure to help out in anyway.

Rengoku was the one to introduce Tomioka to kendō, and was fully aware of his secret storage room practice with Urokodaki. He's waiting for the right moment to invite him for a spar at his dojo.

Himejima was the mama of the group, dropping by every now and then to check on the group, and taking them out for celebratory takoyaki on certain occasions. He tutored them in different subjects, and branded them as the 'Hashira', since each of them excelled in a certain subject, Shinazugawa= Mathematics, Kanae= Biology, Rengoku= History and so on. The hashira all deeply admire him, and he was what inspired the group to become teachers.

Ubuyashiki, being an only sick child and the heir to the school made him a very unapproachable and lonely person, not many people spoke to him outside of pleasantries. Uzui, sharing a class with him, decided to invite him to join the study group, followed by Kanae, since Ubuyashiki helped him out when he was in a pinch, and Kanae wanted to get to know him better. The hashira treated him as an equal, which made him feel very happy, he actually cried. His eyesight continued to worsen towards his 3rd year, and everyone's concerns increased. His sarcasm started to shine through after spending time with the hashira, gyomei slightly enjoys this side of him since it feels more free spirited, so he doesn't say anything about it. Ubuyashiki didn't really need to join the study group since he already had a private tutor, but he along with Murata were honorary members.

Masachika is a part of the hashira in this au, standing out in physics. He was introduced by Sanemi to the group, and he clicked well with everyone. He liked kendō, so he tried going against Giyuu, but not being able to keep up with him. He was on good terms with iguro and uzui, but they were never particularly close. He decided to teach uni students instead of school students after getting an offer from a prestigious university in Tokyo, and proceeded to be an aerodynamics professor. The hashira hold a dinner night at Rengoku's to catch up, let lose and watch a movie.

Murata, being a very excellent student never needed tutoring or study groups, but he enjoyed hanging out with the hashira, it felt like having friends. He wasn't the most outgoing person out there so he felt blessed after meeting them. He had a thing for marine life from an early age, so he moves on to be a marine biologist, getting him and kanae closer, leading them to becoming biobuddies, even having inside jokes. He joins hashira outings and get togethers, but becoming an honorary hashira along with Ubuyashiki. He feels very grateful for all the good times he could spend with everyone.

I'll be posting more about this, adding in some headcanons and all, I just need that beacon of motivation.

hello I have come w another long ass ask I just need you to know that your blog is currently one of my favorites, I smile at your writing and ideas okay 💛

NS Au thoughts:

aw giyuus parenting being influenced by urokodaki and tsutako is so sweet to me. Like tsutako, I wish urokodakis relationship with Giyuu was explored more in the manga. How did tsutako and urokodaki baby Giyuu?

Isn’t it implied that Giyuu didn’t really visit urokodaki after his final selection? I see the potential for some sweet reconnect type thing, where they both have to relearn how to exist w each other and show each other affection since it’s been a while.

Aw Giyuu is so sweet, homemade comfort food and helping them fall asleep?? He’s so protective I love it.

Zenitsu and genya being being annoyed but comforted is so on point and of tanjiro and Giyuu are going to have another awkward conversation they are such beans . Inosuke showing off I can already imagine how proud he would be lol

He’s even protective of muichiro despite being in the same rank as him (now that I think of it I think the rest of the hashira would naturally be a tiny bit protective of him/ careful with him just because he’s so young) Him showing off is just icing on the cake lol. (I’ve seen you use this term a couple times, but in your omega verse what does dams mean?) I need to know how the pups collect him😭 also what do all the hashira and oyakata sama think about him joining them?

omg sanemi I have no doubt he would be meaner to Giyuu somehow like he’ll just find a way to antagonize him, either subconsciously or on purpose. Also sad too, I’d imagine it’d be hard to see his brother (or him for that matter) create familial bonds because of what happened to his family. Anyways sanemi is so funny I want to study him and his weird concoction of confusion anger and jealousy like a bug.

shenanigans?? like what op what shenanigans are kyo senjuro and Giyuu getting into???

Also Giyuu going to each of his pups houses,, he’s so devoted what a sweetie. what do the hashiras of the estates think of his visits.

and rengoku falling in love with Giyuu because of the way he parents makes me feel warm and fuzzy, I guess itd be really enthralling to be witnessing a such a warm side of giyuu. honestly I can picture them all getting closer like a big family, it’s sweet. I think kyojuro would be a big family man. Itd be good for both of them.

How does Giyuu fall in love with him back? How does shinjuro react to suddenly having all these people at the estate? How would kyo let Giyuu know of his feelings?

I love Saunnes other work, the mask one is just so 😭

It made me yearn for more ‘mask wearing Giyuu finally takes it off/ it breaks and the hashira react’ aus. I think soon will be adding to the omegaverse one with another story so I’m keeping an eye out for that, so excited !!!

I also love ‘Breathe for Me.’ by AniramLynx, it has a love harem square thing with sanemi, shinobu, and kyo, and Giyuu has a secret daughter and it’s endgame rengiyuu and I just love how they tackle omega verse dynamics, And the writing is awesome. The writing is also in Spanish but maybe one day there will be a translations because it is awesome ☺️

“Your Name” by OddlyStupidOtaku I am liking so far as well, if you couldn’t tell already, I am a sucker for good omegaverse aus, especially when they are focused on family dynamics

For the Giyuu x uzui fam au

I love the hc but that Giyuu likes keeping track of weather patterns, science and the like,. This is canon now i don’t care

I think Giyuu sharing little parts of himself and his past like the tea shop or river is so sweet. Lol at Giyuu sitting in the shadows, does he sunburn easily Somehow this suits him. I know im getting redundant, but I wish the manga added more bits of his backstory and childhood before he lost tsutako (I actually just want more Giyuu)

how does the uzui fam try to include Giyuu into their relationship? How outwardly obvious is their affection for each other?? I can imagine that the uzuis is that pda quadruple, but i think they might tone it down with Giyuu for his sake lol. aww I love Giyuu x healthy relationships, it’s the best ship imo

ANON. YIRE BACK!!! sorry it took me fucking forever to answer i got caught up in watching the entirety of camp cretaceous. it’s really fun. to apologize for taking a balls ass long time, there’s some fun dialogue/a little unpolished blurb for you 💕

i’m really happy you keep coming back. the fact that i’m one of your favourite blogs and that you actually enjoy my writing means a lot more to me than you probably think.

as always CW: canonical character death, briefly touching on shinjuro and kyojuros relationship (and all that entails) maybe a general warning for light angst. that’s it though!! have fun :-)

NS Au thoughts:

well i fucking ADORE tsutako so much actually. urokodaki and tsutako treated giyuu differently because their places in his life were fundamentally different: tsutako was his mother, his sister, the woman who raised him and loved him. she helped lay the groundwork for who is he is as a whole- she was and still is monumental in his mind. his love for her is completely and utterly huge. she treated him fairly and kindly- she treated him like her son, and wasn’t often harsh with him.

urokodaki was also gentle, but he wasn’t giyuus parent. he was giyuus teacher; first and foremost he was someone who helped guide giyuu into a very dangerous profession. he trained him to be the best of the best because giyuu (while not as hard hitting or bold as sabito) had speed, precision and a steadfast will to protect. urokodaki wouldn’t have forced him into it: giyuu took to training with his entire being.

urokodaki wasn’t always kind. there are harsh, violent lessons you must go through to become a demon slayer that won’t perish at the first clawing- the first gnash of a demons teeth is always the worst. luckily, he saw even sharper teeth hidden behind giyuus tiny smiles and soft voice.

tsutako didn’t baby him, per se, but she was soft with him. she helped him wash his hair, let him curl up in her futon with her and helped him hide the first nest he ever made. her nests were small, could fit in cabinets or forgotten cupboards- giyuu takes after her in that aspect.

urokodaki didn’t baby him. he occasionally brought him to teahouses or festivals, but he also brought sabito. he rewarded giyuu for his hard work more than he babied him.

urokodaki loves his students. unequivocally, wholly, with everything he has. he guides them with calloused hands and his hidden gentle face, hoping they get to watch the sun rise each day. hoping the night doesn’t take them.

it always had. the night (the creatures it sires- monsters made of flesh and imploding stars) takes his students; his children. death reaches for them each time.

it had taken giyuu away from him in a different sense. he still lives, breathes, eats and sleeps- he just doesn’t come home. from the brief and quietly agonized letters he sends every once and a while urokodaki can tell the night took him- just… in a different way. he doesn’t return even when he promised, at the ripe age of fourteen and a half, to do so.

giyuu is afraid of seeing urokodaki. not the fear of demons, or of death or of loosing someone he loves, but the strange type of dread that comes when you find something you didn’t mean to forget. hadn’t meant to leave behind, didn’t want to part with but couldn’t bear to hold. he’s ashamed of breaking his promises.

eventually, giyuu gets a letter from tanjiro. nezuko enjoys being with urokodaki and tanjiro misses him. he assumes giyuu does as well and implores him to visit.

urokodaki isn’t aware that his other students (nezuko included of course) have bonded so closely with giyuu. his one student who was taken by the night and spat back out. tanjiro had returned to him bathed in the light of dawn; giyuu finally arrives home on a clouded noon, years after he left.

they’re both new people, but in that singular moment urokodaki is staring down at the half-frozen child he met so long ago. giyuu looks back at him, guilt, shame and relief building tightly in him.

when urokodaki hugs him, cradling the back of giyuus head in his hand and mask tipped to the side to hug him better, he realizes giyuu is taller than him. the sun does not break from behind the clouds; but urokodaki thinks one dreary day is a small price in the face of his beloved student coming home.

He’s even protective of muichiro despite being in the same rank as him Him showing off is just icing on the cake lol. (I’ve seen you use this term a couple times, but in your omega verse what does dams mean?)

the kids love giyuu a lot but they’re still getting used to him, and vice versa. tanjiro is used to protecting and providing so having someone do it for him feels… a little bit condescending at first, but when they talk about it he begins to settle into the idea more. it’s meant out of a genuine want for his safety and happiness as opposed to giyuu not thinking he’s capable.

eventually they all settle in enough to show off, mui and inosuke (and nezuko oddly enough) just get a head start.

dams are another term for mother, usually used in relation to omegas (both male and female) and has slightly different emotional connotations than just “mom”.

I need to know how the pups collect him😭 also what do all the hashira and oyakata sama think about him joining them?

it’s all tanjiros fault, really. when mui and giyuu were recovering from their mission, giyuu was in a very hormonally vulnerable state because he had just fully imprinted on a pup who was injured while in his care. he started nesting even while his hip/leg was fucked up, and was spending a lot of his time in his nest with mui.

tanjiro visited him a lot, sometimes even being pulled into the nest beside mui because he fucking loves tanjiro (this is after the sword smith arc).

nezuko was always with tanjiro, and where they went zenitsu and inosuke were never far behind. they were consistently shooed away because “if you don’t get out of his nest right now you’ll mess him up more and delay recovery for them both! not to mention you’re all still pups and Tomioka was just newly imprinted on!” (by aoi, who didn’t notice -or maybe just didn’t acknowledge- that she was also slowly imprinting on giyuu)

kanao also frequently did shooing duty, but liked to spend time with the others while they were all there.

tanjiro saw that giyuu and mui were healing and in better spirits, as giyuu was becoming more open and warm with them (beginning to treat them as his pups) and mui was lightening up around people that weren’t tanjiro or giyuu!

he dragged genya around too, because they’re friends damnnit and genya is going to spend some boss ass quality time with them if he like it or not.

this all backfires spectacularly when shinobu catches all of these children taking a dogpile nap on giyuu. they’re careful of his and muichirous injuries, but still. she’s right cheesed when she figures out giyuu has claimed them as his: they’re his kids now and nothing will make him let them go.

oyakata was both so very very pleased to become a grandfather (something he didn’t think would happen before he died) and also quietly amused. his biological children are also pleased to become aunts and an uncle, even if their nieces/nephews are older than them.

shinobu has some confusing feelings abt it all. on one hand, giyuu is healing from being nulled and is creating important bonds with people, but in the other he keeps stealing her fucking kids/sister. the triplets, aoi and kanao are her girls. but giyuu just swept on in and started mothering them. so to be petty (and to maybe give herself a little bit of normalcy) she starts acting all Pack Alpha around the girls. and mui. and the other kids. (she’s digging herself a fucking grave. giyuu has begun to act like she’s part of the pack. she’s so stupid for thinking this wouldn’t happen)

mitsuri, gyomei, and uzui all think it’s nice. uzui thinks it’s more funny and flashy than pleasant, but he still gossips about it with his wives.

obanai fucking hates it. end of story.

muichirou and kyojuro both adore it. muichirou doesn’t remember everything about his life before, but he remembers warmth. he remembers hands that held his face and swept away his tears; the scent of home buzzes constantly in his nose- the memories from his family before and the fresh notes of his family now. he promises that he will never forget any of them ever again.

kyojuro can’t get enough of it. giyuu smiles at him, spars with him, flutters at the edges of his vision even when he’s gone. the thought of giyuu is always with him; the shape of his body and the tilt of his lips when he hums to a curled up nezuko sleeping peacefully in his lap. bathed in light or rain or fucking ash giyuu would be more breathtaking then any god in kyojuros eyes.

oh don’t worry anon sanemis emotions get explored. also his relationship with his parents, genya and their other siblings. just wait. it’ll be so fucking fun. (and heartbreaking 💕)

shenanigans?? like what op what shenanigans are kyo senjuro and Giyuu getting into???

mostly the shenanigans are giyuu coming to the flame estate and everyone either a) going super overkill in training to show off their progress, b) shinjuro and giyuu awkwardly existing in each other’s presence (bc shinjuro Knows. he is completely aware of his eldest sons infatuation) c) kyojuro attempting to “subtly” keep giyuu and senjuro from spending too much time together while still pushing them together enough for them to get along or d) some horrible mix of them all, plus other random little issues.

it’s a whole mess, basically, but they all become more in tuned with each other. shinjuro is the exception of course; he’s fairly distant with his sons students. and the pretty water hashira.

Also Giyuu going to each of his pups houses,, he’s so devoted what a sweetie. what do the hashiras of the estates think of his visits.

the hashira of the estates generally like giyuu a lot. kyojuro is… horribly in love with him, and would give anything for the chance to properly show it.

gyomei thinks giyuu is sweet- and he never actually intended to steal his student. his visits are usually timed well enough to never interrupt anything and he brings gyomei high quality cat treats as gratitude gifts, so gyomei has no complaints. (it helps that genya seems to relax quite a bit when with two extremely powerful omegas who care about him very much- he’s not scared of being an omega, but the thought of navigating it alone was never pleasant)

muichirou obviously loves being in his home with giyuu, even though he’s taken to spending a good amount of his down time in the water estate. most of his house hands are working there now- it gets a lot more traffic and now requires a lot more upkeep. he’s a tiny little pre-presentation alpha pup with a mother that he loves to impress. his collection of terrariums is no joke, and he finds they both enjoy spending quiet time surrounded by the pretty glass jars.

shinobu definitely likes giyuu; she wishes his newfound tendencies towards gaining children stopped or at LEAST slowed down though. she and giyuu get a bunch of focus for their relationship as well- i’m unsure about whether or not to keep it platonic but still with lots of intimacy and trust (like queer platonic partners- commitment and love but not strictly romantic) or if i should go the romantic route. i’m 50-50 split currently. all i know is that she’s an important part of the ever growing pack.

How does Giyuu fall in love with him back? How does shinjuro react to suddenly having all these people at the estate? How would kyo let Giyuu know of his feelings?

giyuu falls in love with a lot of difficultly, grief, and guilt. he and sabito were courting from the ages of 12-15, and had promises. they were supposed to become the water pillars together- a bonded team so strong they would embody the ocean and all her tides. when sabito died giyuu felt less like the ocean and more like an ice floe; cold dark and dangerous, isolating in strange and terrifying ways.

in some ways he never let go. even after he begins to heal, let himself thaw and crumble under the warmth of his pups love, his pack, there was always the shape of sabito carved into him. a brand of love, friendship and deep respect- but a brand nonetheless.

generally, giyuu thinks it’s a disrespect to sabitos memory to fall in love with someone else. to hold them like that in the same space in giyuus heart that he had taken. but slowly, as giyuu visits the flame pillar estate more often and watches him live (the night his crow had told him of the train is held deep inside of himself. he does not think about why the memory rests next to the news of his parents death- of his sister smoothing his hair as she sobbed and sobbed and didn’t let him see them even after the villagers helped remove them from the house.) he realizes that sabitos place can remain his.

he can keep his first love (his first everything) in the same place. he doesn’t have to throw him away to love someone again. tanjiro and nezuko don’t throw away their family for a new one- muichirou doesn’t throw away his sparse memories of a face mirroring his own for the other pups. zenitsu doesn’t throw away his grandfather or even the brother that hated him; they all just make new space. giyuu simply (read: with great difficulty and lots of hesitation) wants to do the same.

giyuu doesn’t love like the ocean- nor does he feel like it when he’s with kyojuro. kyojuro is hot embers and thick sloughing metal- giyuu feels like the moment he makes contact he’ll burst into steam. kyojuro makes giyuu feel like endless rain sinking deep into the earth. he isn’t a glacier, or a steep and deadly ice floe, but he is a man. a man and an omega and a mother and a son and his sisters little brother. he wants kyojuro.

kyojuro is both stunningly impatient and mature, which tempers his impatience enough to seem nonexistent. he’s eager and jovial and quick to move, but not stupid. he thinks things through, he just has very little shame or boundaries with himself. other people on the other hand…

they aren’t easy for him. he gets along with most people but it’s usually by accident or by saving them from a demon that would’ve killed them. giyuu is easy to speak with- gentle and quiet but easy to goad into reacting if you phrase things right. he’s competitive, resilient and so so fucking gorgeous.

kyojuro doesn’t tell giyuu right away. he can tell there is still a thick wall between giyuus heart and everyone else. the pups hop the wall often, but occasionally stumble or are knocked back. kyo very rarely even gets to climb high enough to glimpse the other side.

he speaks with his father first. it’s painful, in the way speaking privately with his father has been for years, but there is no alcohol in the room and it smells of his mothers favourite incense.

shinjuro listens for once. takes the time to watch his son, his eldest boy- a hearty alpha and reliable young man. his darling pup, who he has hurt deeply in the past and continues to do so even now when he doesn’t do much of anything. lets his sons worry and adoration for the beautiful and destroyed omega that has captured his heart wash over him. when he had met the new water hashira, he was taken aback by how fair he looked while being so cold. so dull. he had seen the grief for what it was- his wife’s death left a similar mark on him.

when kyojuro finishes speaking he waits for a moment, then two, then his patience wears thin and he moves to leave.

“that boy has loved someone before. deeply. like how you love him, like how i lo- how i loved your mother. i was ruined by her death. i’m still ruined.” he begins, not baring to look at his boy anymore. kyojuro settles back down.

“whoever they were they were ripped from him. it was probably the catalyst to him being nulled. it’s a miracle he’s not a completely blank slate, now.”

they’re both silent. kyojuro is deep in thought, replaying interactions with giyuu for signs he might’ve overlooked. he’s not jealous, or angry, but sad. he adores giyuu with everything he has, but if giyuu loves someone else he would’ve wanted them to be here with giyuu loving him as they must have.

“he doesn’t look at you with blank eyes. he did to me, and most of the other people he ever saw- like he was looking right through them. to love a man like that is almost a death sentence.” kyojuro has no words for that that are kind. instead he offers this;

“giyuu has always looked at me without malice, at least. there has never been disappointment in him- not for me.”

shinjuro doesn’t shiver with rage or shame as he usually would.

“break it to him slowly. talk to his pups and his pack, then make yourself clear. don’t expect an answer. don’t expect it to be a pretty or soft confession; he might be pretty and soft but he is far from both at once. dont… don’t wait, kyojuro. whatever you do, reach for him.” during his speech, made with tilted and rusty words of encouragement, kyojuro has folded in on himself. he knows this is the closest thing he’ll get to fatherly approval. for now, it’s enough.

For the Giyuu x uzui fam au

i feel you anon. i’m desperate for more information but since there isn’t any i’ve just been making shit up!! it’s great

they take him on a lot of dates, and spend a lot of time with him. he spends a lot of his time while not on missions in the sound estate- his house feels so cold and so quiet now. he still can’t bring himself to furnish it because at his core giyuu believes it’s not his place.

so instead he keeps things with the uzui family. he has a room with a handmade wood box inlaid with silk, which keeps tsutakos bow, half the rope from sabitos mask, and various trinkets that people he’s saved have given him. they (along with his haori) are his most painful and important possessions.

the fact that he can put them here, in this house with these people who he adores and aches for in equal measure, says a lot.

the uzuis are fond of pda, but they’re not actually too intense with it. there’s definitely a level of casual intimacy that always surrounds them, but it’s not forced or anything. they fold giyuu into the mix fairly naturally and after a few months it’s not a strange sight to see uzui just toss one of his wives and giyuu over his shoulder and bounce around. he seems so happy and it makes them laugh. they don’t have to tone things down because giyuu would tell them if he was uncomfortable (even if it was just with his expression/body language)

Hello!! I saw in the tags of a post that youd like more asks, which made me brave enough to send one

Would u mind rambling a bit about your rengiyuu fic(s)? I get excited when I hear that you're working on them but I don't know if you've published any/ any chapters yet?

I hope you're having a nice day!! 🌻

hI THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING AND I AM SO SORRY _(:3 」∠)_

So it AAALLL started with my overlong post-Entertainment District Coping fic I wrote the majority of between episodes 10 and 11 of Entertainment District, trying to find a way for Tanj and the bois to survive the. yknow. Gigantic Poison Explosion.

I wrote Giyuu and Shinobu heading there with an antidote, and Giyuu having to dig around through the rubble to find Tanjiro, half dead. In that I draw comparisons between his relationship with Tanjiro and his relationship with the now-deceased Kyojuro, very different but all leading into the same conclusion: He can't stand to lose anyone else who is as special and just sunshine incarnate as Kyo was. It's told interspersed between Giyuu trying to find/save Tanjiro and my headcanon for Giyuu and Kyo's first meeting, in which Giyuu became a Hashira AFTER Kyo and Kyo was his mentor throughout. Never finished or published it because most of it didn't make sense in canon after Ep 11 came out.

Then I moved onto my Demon!Rengoku bullshit. In this fic that takes place any time post Entertainment District, Rengoku has been posthumously turned into a demon by Douma in an attempt to get close to/kill Tanjiro. Waking up with no memory, no awareness that he's a demon, and nowhere else to go, Kyo wanders to Giyuu's house. Giyuu tries to just end him right then and there but can't work up the nerve, even when Kyo attacks him. Haven't gotten too far, but the gist is that he and Kyo have to team up (with Akaza?? [obviously he'd be fucking PISSED that Douma managed to turn Kyo when he couldn't, so maybe some enemy of my enemy is my friend?]) to figure out who turned him and how to turn him back. Probably my spiciest fic? Demons sexy what can I say. I think I'm pretty good at writing smut but I can literally never work up the nerve so. yknow.

I ALSO have a much more fluffy fic based on the idea of Giyuu being injured in battle, waking up in the butterfly mansion with Kyo having thought he died. Kyo tries to confess that he's realized his love for him but panics last minute and ends up saying he's realized Giyuu never met his brother. Giyuu accepts and they end up on a date that neither really realizes is a date except poor Senjuro, who now kind of has to play matchmaker! Very fluffy and silly and a good break from the darker fics I had been working on.

Annnnd another less overtly Rengiyuu fic as part of my Modern AU in which Giyuu (Kyo's roommate[and they were ROOMMATES]) and Sanemi (over at their apartment because he was bored) find themselves embroiled in the Rengoku family drama after Senjuro and Kyo appear at their apartment, Kyo with a black eye from their father. Explores Giyuu and Sanemi's shared past (dead siblings), Sanemi's relationship with his own father, and my personal thoughts for how Shinjuro and Kyojuro's relationship would have played out A.) If Kyo never died and B.) in a modern setting.

That was interrupted by As the World Caves In (read it here!) and will likely be interrupted by some Everybody Lives AU Secret Relationship bullshit in the future.

*Takes a huge deep breath*

So yeah anyway i loooove being Normal! For real though thank you for asking, I will die on this Ship and will always welcome the opportunity to ramble incoherently about it !!

#anon #THANK YOU FOR ASKING SKLJFLKD #kny #rengiyuu #rose's rambles #my GOD am i normal #i just have such a thing for the silent protagonist silent communication thing #kyo being the only one who can understand his quietness paradoxically (because he's so loud) is just sooooooooo . oompgh #also just. pure mental illness from both of them in different directions #rengiyuu wednesday lives in my mind rent free #in fact I pay rent to rengiyuu wednesday in the form of my various diseases spat out onto google docs and tumblr posts

KyoGiyu royalty/knight AU 👀👀👀👀

Tell me more

I'm glad you asked :)

Giyuu is a prince of a kingdom called Frostsomething. He is the first in line to claim the throne and become King of Frostheim.

Kyojuro is a knight who patrols the tall wall around Frostheim and ends up looking after Prince Giyuu because no one else can keep track of him.

Originally, Giyuu was very cocky and flirtatious but that is very out of character for him so I'm changing that part of his lore.

Prince Giyuu is assigned the task of finding a woman to marry. There is one problem with that: he doesn't like women. He has no romantic or sexual attraction to any of the women he's talked to. Only few can handle his naturally quiet nature, and those tend to try to talk over him and talk for him.

Knight Kyojuro has been training almost his entire life to protect his kingdom and protect the family that has done so for him. His father is the Head Guard and leader of the Knight Training Camp, so the King is in good relations with the Rengoku family. Kyojuro lies when his comrades ask which royal woman is his eye candy. Prince Giyuu Tomioka is the man who caught his heart. It's unexplainable and otherworldly. Letting his hopes rise when he gets sworn in by Giyuu is unrealistic, delusional even. He would never have a chance with the prince.

And yet...

Kyojuro is the only knight that Giyuu doesn't try to sneak away from. It was no surprise when King Iguro Tomioka ordered Kyojuro to train more to become a personal guard for Giyuu. It's a decent surprise when Kyojuro is the first person outside of the palace that Giyuu seeks to talk to. Tsukako is even shocked by her younger brother.

Giyuu is surprised by his father's decision. Of course, it would be another year before Kyojuro would finish his training, but he would be allowed inside the palace without being questioned by the palace guards.

They're both pining over each other in their forbidden love. Their love is one meant to be destroyed, and discarded, but neither of them care about that. They want each other, but can you imagine the implications of that? Gay love wasn't widely accepted. Kyojuro is bound by code to keep a personal distance. Giyuu is bound by blood to rule, to wed a woman, and to have an heir.

I have this whole story planned out in my head but I don't know if it will hit actual writing words. I made like a little opening but i dont think itll be turned into a full fic. totally gonna post snippets because its a masterpiece but actual effort and written content? its my allergy

does this post need more length? yes. fun fact time

the royal family consists of King Obanai Tomioka, Queen Mitsuri Tomioka, Princess Tsukako Tomioka, Prince Giyuu Tomioka

Shinjuro Rengoku is the head guard of all the guards of the kingdom and makes the decisions on how they're trained and stationed.

Kyojuro is transmasc in this universe, but only his father, mother, and brother know. He keeps it a secret from everyone else.

Kyojuro and Giyuu will flirt very much <3

Kyo graduated at the top of his class for guard training and his father is silently proud of him for it.

Tengen is the king of a nearby kingdom, he gets help ruling his kingdom from his three beautiful wives.

Tanjiro and and Nezuko and their family live in the Tomioka kingdom as servants. Very well respected and appreciated because they're nice :)

Muichiro is the prince training to be king of another kingdom since he's the only person left of his royal family

Sanemi is the married prince of his kingdom and Frostheim and Flowerdoom (Kanae and Shinobu's kingdom) are his kingdom's only allies.

Gyomei lives in Flowerdoom as the head guard but also as the coordinator for their naval forces

(I made the kingdom in Minecraft too... with help but it was so fun and big)

#wow this was long haha #college does not help this at all lmao #peach thank you for fueling me #kny manga spoilers #just for tsukako #is that how you spell her name?#rengiyuu #giyuu tomioka #kyojuro rengoku #saucy needs to write this #saucy writes #kny rb #more later?

It's official. Your Rot Monster AU has successfully wormed its way into my brain and it's not leaving. Hope you don't mind more questions:

How did the Kamaboko Squad meet up in this AU, if at all? What kind of hijinks do they get into?

Can we get more backstory on the Shinazugawa brothers? How do an angel and demon end up as brothers? (I remember you saying that Sameni was selected to be an angel, but what about Genya?)

What's Muzan up to in this AU? I imagine similar bullshit as canon, but the existence of more monsters makes my mind go to darker places.

What are humans up to in this AU? I've snippets mentioning them, but nothing really concrete. Are the Ubuyashikis human, still running the Demon Slayer Corps?

I'll probably have more questions later.

(P.S. I have a fic for this AU in my WIP. Have no idea if it'll ever be done, but who knows?)

I surely dont mind at all, im so happy others took interest in my au!

Hmm Tanjiro(Pheonix harpy), Nezuko(Corrupyed Pheonix harpy), Zenitsu(lung storm dragon) and Inosuke(either a boar troll or a boar faun) met the same way as in canon. Kanao(butterfly Fairy) was later introduced when the gang met the Angel rank (Sanemi, Shinobu and Gyomei tho Sanemi was missing, at this time he was long gone).

Genya was introduced once the gang was accepted and viewed as worthy in Sanemi’s eyes.

Hmm when the whole group is together, they usually do pretty tamed stuff. Most extreme stuff they’ve done is hunt not so powerful demons as a hunt game, they’re all pretty brutal creatures so they kill these demons in the most horrific ways possible.

Shinazugawa brothers, the angel cycle.

Sanemi was originally a dragon along with Genya. Angels are cherry picked by the corp, they get to decide who is worthy of such tittle since angels in this au are powerful warriors, battle machines and nothing more or less.

Sanemi was chosen to be an angel and was sent to the corp for training (like in the army! Once you’re recruited, they’ll take you to base to break you). When Sanemi came back from training, he found his family dead but luckily he wasn’t so late to save Genya but to his horror, Genya was feasting on their parents (who were infected with spores from a demon) and that made Genya turn into a dragon demon inmune to the spore’s mind control. //I’ll maybe get more in detail about this in the future.

Angels by default are demon slayers, they will destroy any corrupted being or malicious creature they come across but this was Genya, the only family he had left. So he kept him a secret in his temple. Sanemi raised his brother in secret from everyone until Kanae went to visit Sanemi with out consent, Genya thought it was Sanemi and the rest was a bloody mess.

Muzan

Hmm I have not yet settled anything for Muzan yet. I thought maybe Lucifer himself but very similar life style to the netflix series lucifer. Rich dude, very well known but not many know he is Muzan, the mf they after since he takes many form. But thats for now, we yet haven’t planned anything.

Humans

Humans are still present in this au. Very common actually, basically they’re just living their lives in villages snd being tormented by the monsters/creatures under Muzan’s hand.

But some have found certain creatures and considered them as gods, religious or worthy enough to offerings and gifts. Examples are Giyuu Tomioka(Water lung dragon), Douma(Kelpie) and Sabito(Forest/River Kitsune).

Also yes! The Ubuyashikis are still in control of the corps! They’re common humans but they’re honest and hard work has been respected and they’re all in debt with them (not in a bad way more like for example, Tomioka was taken under Urokodaki’s care which he was oart of the corp and Tomioka felt he owed the corp for their kindness)

If that made any senseee????? Tho Tomioka retires later on!

/// If you ever publish it or feel like sharing it plz send it to me??? Omg?? Or tag me! I would love to read!!!

This is something that keeps eating away at me because I find the scenario both interesting and fucked up but how do you think would KNY Hard Mode's sunrise countdown arc (assuming events in the au played out similarly to the manga) with "Demon King Rokuta" play out?

In order to answer this Ask, I need to first refer people back to the first Ask I got about this for context: basically, Tanjiro is dead and this is the Nezuko and Rokuta show now. Tamayo has essentially raised these children as her own, Rokuta doesn't remember his own mother's face, and the AU left off with Giyuu coming to collect the demons Ubuyashiki in interested in (and collect his haori, which Nezuko stole all those years ago in her getaway). I also want to started by referring people interested in this AU to @gauekox for the Kaiba AU under development, which expands on this idea. I don't know all the directions that AU is going to go in, though! I can only speak for my own thoughts and say that my first inclination was "no way Rokuta's surviving that long." Besides totally missing out on the Eldest Son advantage, he doesn't get the advantage of having learned and practiced Hinokami Kagura, much less having formed many memories of watching it. This boy better be conked out in comas a lot, because he's got a lot of memories to go inherit.

The biggest reason for Rokuta's survival that long in the series would be Nezuko. She'd be ballistic. This is the AU in which we'd see her reach her full demonic potential, but that also means she'd going to be a hell of a lot more dangerous and I don't know how she's going to survive this without any of the Pillars deciding "ok, that's enough out of you, nighty-night."

But, let's say she does. No matter how long this AU goes on and hold big Rokuta gets, Nezuko probably stays bigger than him. By a lot, maybe. And Rokuta, let's say he's got a desire to fight demons on part with Tanjiro's, even if his memories of his family mostly feel fuzzy and intangible. He'd probably have to be more flexible to external reasons to fight, especially because he'd have less memory of Nezuko as anything than his caretaker. Sure, it's sad that she's a demon, but his surrogate mother and not-brother-not-uncle-not-stepfather-whatever-Yushiro-is are both demons, so he's grown up finding this pretty normal. Being recruited as a means of defeating Tamayo's sworn enemy might be his only real motivation, besides a general "my family who I don't remember well was slain by that man and my sister hates him and look at all these really sad people who have also had their families slain, that's a lot of really sad people." And, maybe he's figured out or been told that his family holds the secrets to Sun Breath, but he'd face the frustration of trying to unearth them (or maybe he's a genius like Muichiro, who would be all grown up by then, wow). Maybe if Rokuta is leaning into trying to unearth Hinokami Kagura, at some point Rengoku sits him down for Kankagari, or if Rokuta never actually goes in this direction, maybe the lack of having grown up with Hinokami Kagura practice would make him adapt well enough to Water Breath to eventually be the Water Pillar? So many factors to consider!

But... it's still really hard to picture Rokuta ever gaining as much strength in Hinokami Kagura as Tanjiro managed, and I think Hinokami Kagura is part of why demon!Tanjiro mastered the sun so fast. I'm sorry, Anon. It think Demon!Rokuta is going up in a puff of smoke. If he even survives that long!! Ghost!Tanjiro has probably been working overtime to get him that far!

Orrrrr, Nezuko--big, mega-powerful Nezuko--is going to swoop in get him under control with a demon sibling face-off, or with just enough strength left to shield him and get him under control, human!Nezuko calls him back to a time when their family was whole, like a bookend to their starting point.

But that's just me, clinging to canon like a life jacket in this sea of a Hard, Hard Mode AU.

Weekly WIPS Workshop! 28/04/2024

All of my newest and shiniest wips worked on this week, all in one place!

If you see one that catches your eye, say something!!

Under the cut; Works of note List of works in my "save for later" tab

*ignore vegeta

fandom key; TGCF = Heaven Official's Blessing MHA = My Hero Academia (They make crossovers really easy, okay?) AC = Assassination Classroom DC = DC Comics SPA = South Park GIJOE = Genshin Impact DOEV = Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess CSM = Chainsaw Man

WORKS OF NOTE;

Untitled (Mononoke)

Shapeshifting Tanuki Kagomei and the Medicine Seller Kusuriuri spend an intimate night together in a small hotel; established relationship, semi-kinky sex, guaranteed lots of soft aftercare with Uri

Untitled (Mononoke/Demon Slayer)

Shapeshifting Tanuki Kagomei and the Medicine Seller Kusuriuri find themselves in the entertainment district hunting a mononoke. (lots of ideas for this to make it long form, going from the entertainment district arc to the sunset countdown arc, but it would take a lot of work)

Untitled (Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess)

Reynold Ekhart gets sent back to the very biggening of the story by Vinter after his sister Penelope dies and the kingdom falls to the hands of Leila. He decides to do everything in his power to stop that from happening; lots of fluff with penelope and Vinter/Reynold heavy. (I have three chapters already completed, ~5000 words total. I'm in love with this fic) I WANNA WRITE THIS ONE SO BAD BRO BUT ITS SO HARD T_T

High School Sweethearts (Young Justice)

This is a rewrite of an extremely old work I *think* is still up somewhere on like; wattpad of all places. Main character is Renner Opal, a french gothamite under the alias "Anemoi" that just so happens to be there during Cadmus and gets recruited by Robin because the two become very close after Renner sustains a nearly fatal injury. Renner/Robin is the endgame. The story is basically already written, but I have to go back and rewrite everything because I wrote all of that over two years ago. It's a nightmare. There is also a mildly planned out sequel set to happen in season three, i think?

Untitled Crackfic (DC Comics/South Park)

Kenny moved to Gotham with his family due to how cheap they found an apartment there. Everyone promptly dies, except for kenny of course. A year later, Butters is kicked out of his house and calls kenny for the first time since he's moved. The bats see two kids living on a roof and say "we need to protecc"

Untitled (CSM)

No one has died au; intro to a new oc named Yoshiki who is a mysterious devil that hasn't revealed any of their abilities just yet. The oc is not op, just lies a lot, and his super top secret motivation is that she just wants a family.

Untitled (Demon Slayer)

Sequel to "Come Here Dearest"!! Giyuu & Obanai centric with some Mitsuri and others planned to be there towards the end. Super underdevelopped at the moment, I'm still thinking on it

Untitled (Demon Slayer)

Demon OC "Eishin Katou" was a demon slayer before he got turned, and after being turned was restrained and subdued by his mentor (unnamed as of now :/). He now still takes on missions and works mostly alone so that no one finds out he's a demon. That is until he's sent to the entertainment district, and he can barely stop himself from biting the hashira he's bandaging up. Uzui recognizes that he's a demon, but also that he's showing a lot of restraint and not attacking easy prey. Hashira meeting ensues, and then ??? i dunno, we'll see

Reminder: This Demon Slayer fic is rated Mature (adults only) for canon-typical violence and eventual suggestive or explicit sexual content

Return to Chapters List

Chapter 21: Upper Moon Three

The Slayers strive to rescue their Master, but their efforts prove futile—the Domain already lies in ruins, devoid of survivors. The Hashira engage in a fierce battle against the Lord of Demons before they fall inside the Infinity Castle. Inside this perilous dimension, Kyojuro and Kanoko confront their arch-nemesis once more.

Author's note: Just a friendly warning, this is not a "nobody dies" AU. Some characters might die during this Arc. Not all of them, not necessary the same as in canon… to be honest I haven't decided yet. I have some ideas though XD.

Trigger warning: Blood, gore. Reader is suffering a lot, cuz I'm a torturer. Honestly this warning is true for the whole Arc.

Giyuu and you surged through the forest, twisted branches casting haunting shadows under the moonlight as the crows guided your way. Running alongside were Tanjiro, his two companions, and Kanao. The other butterfly girls had stayed behind, including the Insect Pillar who was still in recovery. There was no sign of other Slayers so far; the lower-ranking ones likely trailed behind, struggling to match the frantic pace of their elders, while the other Hashira might have already reached the destination or were converging from different directions.

After roughly twenty minutes of relentless traversal, you reached Master Ubuyashiki's secret shelter— possibly setting a record for such distance. Yet, with every passing second on the way, a feeling of dread crept in, considering that the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps was defenseless before Muzan himself.

The sight that greeted you upon your arrival offered no comfort or hope. The domain lay in ruins, torn apart by a devastating explosion. No member of the Ubuyashiki family was in sight, and even your demonic senses failed to detect their presence. Tamayo, Gyomei and Kyojuro were already on-site, engaged in a fierce battle with a scorched silhouette, likely a demon affected by the blast. Despite the distance, the overwhelming power of this adversary sent shivers down your spine.

Kibutsuji Muzan...

Never before your transformation did you think you would encounter the Lord of Demons himself in your lifetime—the one who had reigned as the master of the night for a thousand years. Yet here he stood, almost within striking range. In unison, you and the reinforcing Slayers unsheathed your katanas. The Nichirin steels sparkled with multicolored gleams. Your canines protruded in the surge of adrenaline as you pushed your muscles to the extreme, rushing toward your companions. You were on the verge of achieving your goal, blade ready to strike down the sworn enemy of humanity when suddenly...

The ground gave way under your feet. Shoji doors opened beneath each of you and Muzan himself. All the present Hashira and Slayers sank into the void.

"Kanoko!"

Kyojuro swiftly caught your arm, and you clung back to him to avoid being separated in the abyss. Sumptuous corridors flashed around you at breakneck speed, spreading in illogical directions. The Hashira plunged his sword into a wooden panel, slicing through a considerable distance. The motion gradually slowed, ultimately halting your free fall.

Breathless, you hastily surveyed your surroundings. The laws of physics seemed to heed their own rules in this upside-down architecture. Walls, floors, and corridors formed suspended labyrinths in what appeared to be endless expanse. Glancing downward, you noted the dizzying height that separated you from the next platform. While confident in your survival due to immortality, doubt lingered regarding Kyojuro's fate. Swallowing hard, you looked up at your companion, whose expression was contorted with pain and exertion. His shoulder had absorbed a substantial blow to halt your rapid descent, and he continued to strain to keep you above the void.

The katana threatened to slip out of the wall, intensifying the urgency of escaping this precarious situation. Reassessing your environment, you spotted a balcony below, diagonally to your right. Although inverted from your perspective, the angle revealed a vase standing upright beneath its surface. Gravity seemed reversed on that platform. The jump appeared complex, but if executed with precision, grabbing the edge and landing on the right side should allow you to stand on the floor, mirroring the vase.

"There's a spot at 2 o’clock under our feet. I'll jump first," you informed your partner.

Kyojuro nodded, his gaze fixed on the same spot. Still holding onto him with one arm, you sheathed your sword and braced your zori against the wooden wall. Releasing the Hashira, you propelled yourself toward the platform. Grasping the edge of the engawa with both hands, you found yourself momentarily disoriented—suspended in the void, with the corridor in front of you appearing upside down, the ceiling toward your feet. Ignoring the dizziness of your confused inner ear, you pulled yourself up and tipped onto the engawa. Your assumption was correct: your orientation shifted once your feet touched the ground, allowing you to stand on it, much like the vase. Cautiously observing your surroundings, you put your hands on the guard of your katana, ready to draw it out if necessary. No demons were in sight... at least for now.

Peering from beneath the edge, you locked eyes with your childhood friend, who remained suspended with his feet pointing toward you.

"The path is clear, Kyo!" you called out, extending one of your arm toward him, trying to ignore the disorienting sensation caused by the fact that both of you were oriented differently.

The young man nodded and, in turn, braced against the wall before flexing his muscles, propelling himself in your direction. He swung his red katana away from the facade, sheathing it mid-air to prevent accidentally hurting either of you. Despite months of training with his new handicap, his missing eye impeded precise jumps, and only one of his hands managed to catch the balcony. You seized his other hand, pulled him, and he quickly stood on his feet beside you.

"What a disconcerting dimension," he grumbled with a somber expression. "The Upper Moon generating it must be very powerful."

You nodded. "The Infinity Castle. Tamayo had already told us about it. I thought she was exaggerating when describing it, but her account now seems to pale in contrast with reality."

The Blood Demon Art at work seemed to be a superior version of what Kyogai, a demoted Lower Moon, had possessed when Tanjiro and his friends faced and defeated him at the beginning of their Slayer careers. Similar to how Meikaishi had a power akin to Enmu's but more potent. You shuddered at the thought of the remaining Kizuki you had yet to face, not to mention Kibutsuji himself... and in their own fabricated territory, no less.

You and Kyojuro found yourselves navigating through twisted corridors, trying to find your way to Muzan. Kaname had spotted you and was trying to guide you through the labyrinth, communicating with other crows and Kagaya's heir through talismans. As you pressed forward, deftly defeating lower, mindless creatures that roamed in the area, you noticed the air was gradually growing thick with an otherworldly tension. The occasional unsettling echoes of distant battles grew closer and more frequent. A sudden ominous feeling engulfed you. At the same moment, the ceiling opened, and a figure landed in front of you with a crash, scattering fragments of wood and bamboo in all directions. Both you and Kyojuro came to a halt, pointing your katanas at the newcomer - indubitably a strong demon. As the dust settled, the monster responsible for your beloved's demise in many timelines was revealed.

Akaza

A crimson haze of rage blurred your vision. Beside you, your lover fared no better. Veins pulsed on his forehead and the hands gripping his katana's handle. He had every reason to harbor hatred toward the tattooed man. Not only did he bear the guilt of numerous crimes as a Kizuki, but he was also the catalyst for your transformation into a demon.

"Well, well... look who we have here, Kyojuro, and you, the demon who turned away from Muzan-sama... Nagase Kanoko, right?" Your had never disclosed your name to him. He must have gathered it from someone else. "I could sense your strong battle spirits from the opposite side of the Fortress."

"Akaza!" roared the Flame Pillar.

With ferocious speed, Kyojuro lunged at your opponent, leaving a fiery trail behind him. Following suit, you shifted to the side, aiming to catch your enemy off guard.

Flame Breathing, First Form: Unknowing Fire!

Akaza effortlessly dodged the attack, a playful smile gracing his lips. In response, he unleashed a series of punches impossible to follow with the naked eye in the direction of the Hashira.

Destructive Kill: War Style

Despite the powerful impacts, Kyojuro managed to block most of the assaults with his fourth form, being pushed back a few meters. Akaza was still facing away from you, focused on his fiery opponent. Seizing the opportunity, you aimed directly for his neck.

Time Breathing, Fourth Form: Death Knell Tolls!

Destructive Kill, Leg Form: Cap Tip Slice

Anticipating your movements, the pink-haired martial artist leaned forward, slamming his hands to the ground and propelling his heel directly toward your chin. You narrowly avoided it by slowing down his attack and executing a backward somersault.

The battle unfolded with you and Kyojuro executing a flurry of attacks on either side of your adversary, yet failing to inflict him serious injuries. It became evident that he had adapted to your combat styles since your last encounter. His regeneration abilities were impressive, allowing him to almost instantly regrow severed limbs. The only demon you had faced capable of such rapid healing was Douma, and that encounter had involved six against one...

Destructive Kill, Leg Form: Flowing Light Flash

The demon striked a series of kicks that sent Kyojuro hurtling off the platform. The Hashira collided with another floating building in a muffled crash, tearing through several walls without slowing his trajectory.

"Kyojuro!" you shouted in panic.

Akaza didn't grant you a moment to worry about your partner; he immediately lunged at you, chaining punches and kicks at a breathtaking speed. Despite your attempts to use various katas to slow down his assaults, he adapted his rhythm to your forms without showing signs of fatigue. It was as if he could predict your moves in advance, regardless of their execution speed. How was such a feat possible?

"I was distracted by my fight against Kyojuro and the sunrise, last time. Your Breathing technique won't work on me anymore," he declared.

Feigning a punch, he swiftly changed his stance, sending his heel towards your liver. You managed to parry the impact with your arm, which ended up crushed against your ribs. Bones shattered, and internal organs ruptured. Spitting blood, you curled up, retreating several steps, holding your sword with your only functional arm.

"I don't usually kill women, even Slayers," explained Akaza as he attempted to sweep your leg - a move you narrowly avoided. "But since you're a demon, you won't die. I can let loose. Your Blood Demon Art is powerful, and your martial abilities surpass those of Daki; it would be a waste to eliminate you. I'll bring you back to Lord Muzan. If he spares you and puts you under his command, we'll have the leisure to face each other for eternity!"

While remaining on the defensive, you cast a brief glance at the gaping hole in the neighboring facade. Still no sign of Kyojuro. It was brief, but you had seen him parry the blow in time, so he must be alive. Perhaps he had momentarily lost consciousness?

"That won't happen. I'd rather burn in the sunlight than become Kibutsuji's puppet. And if you had even a shred of honor left, you would do the same."

The insult to his honor brought forth veins of rage all around Upper Moon Three's pale face, his golden eyes glimmering with resentment. His assaults accelerated, which you didn't think was possible. You were almost regenerated, but despite the almost inexhaustible energy of demons, you felt yourself weakening. Your black horns were growing back, and your canines emerging again, unable to concentrate to maintain your human form any longer.

"You willingly chose to become a demon, though, didn't you? I'm pretty sure you did it for power too, in order to face me. Could you not convince Kyojuro to do the same? He has such magnificent swordman’s qualities, but his human condition limits his potential."

You were not in the mood to argue with one of your sworn enemies, but Akaza seemed talkative, and you needed to buy time: to regenerate and assess the situation, hoping for the arrival of Kyojuro or other Slayers. You doubted your chances of winning this formidable fight alone were high. You shook your head.

"You're wrong," you said, shifting your guard to a lower stance to conceal your next move. "Kyojuro is strong because he is a human, one of the best of his kind. Turning him into a demon would ruin him. Only the weak like you and me accept losing their humanity for a force as superficial as ours. The true strength lies in the flame that burns within one's heart, much like his or Kamado's. But I guess you've been a demon for too long to understand."

With a look of pure disdain, the demon lunged at you again, ready to tear you apart. You managed to cut off his arms in time with your first kata, catching him off guard with your speed and precision. Seizing the opening, you exhaled hard, endeavoring to manipulate the flow of time long enough for you to sever his head from his torso.

Time Breathing, Fourth Form: Death Knell Tolls!

It seemed like the perfect opportunity, yet it failed again. He once more anticipated your actions, blocking your katana with his freshly grown left hand and striking the flat of the blade with a punch. The silver-blue Nichirin steel shattered like mere glass. In the next moment, Akaza's arm pierced through you, impaling your vital organs.

As you vomited blood, eyes wide with pain, the agony surged to unimaginable peaks. Such torment was not meant to be one anyone would survive. Was this what Kyojuro had felt in his final moments? How had he gathered the strength to attempt a deathblow to his assailant with such a gaping hole in his stomach? No... if he had done it, you too must endure. Giving up now would feel like a betrayal to him.

Trying to ignore the biceps still-twitching within you, you drew Akaza closer. Locking your free arm and legs around him, you attempted to immobilize him before starting to cut his neck with the remnants of your shattered katana.

His skin and muscles were as hard as steel. Inhaling with a hiss, as much as your punctured lungs allowed, you focused your all your strength. The blade was halfway through his neck, when Akaza managed to break free. He twisted your arm, compelling you to release your sword with a weak scream. Weaponless, you sunk your sharp fangs into his throat, striving to tear the rest of his head off with the force of your jaws alone.

"Wow! You have a very vicious way of fighting, like a rabid beast," mocked the Upper Moon. "Is that pathetic move the best you can do with your fighting spirit? Seems like I misjudged you."

Grabbing your hair, he pulled you backward, casually tearing his jugular in the process. The deadly flow of blood instantly ceased. He executed a move that you struggled to follow, but the next moment saw you pinned to the ground under his control within a pool of blood. This man wielded more experience in close combat, and your regenerative abilities were not as rapid as his, likely due to insufficient feeding on humans.

The Kizuki ruthlessly compressed your arms under his knees, causing your shoulders to dislocate and bones to give way. A choked cry escaped you, as you found yourself unable to muster the strength to resist. The gaping hole in your chest persisted, accompanied by a severe skull fracture and various other injuries, casting your vision in a reddish haze.

Suddenly, Akaza stopped his movements, looking down at you as you weakly groaned beneath him, utterly helpless. His malevolent smile faded, replaced by a fleeting expression of horror and doubt. His golden eyes clouded slightly, as if a different vision blurred his sight. Was he seeing someone else in your place? Could this be the reason he typically refrained from attacking women?

Perhaps entwined with the remnants of his distant human life, the demon failed to immediately sense Kyojuro's approaching presence.

Flame Breathing, Eight Form: Undying Embers!

Upper Moon Three narrowly avoided decapitation; only the top of his skull was sliced, but it almost instantly grew back. The kata involved a series of circular cuts, but the martial artist skillfully defended his neck each time, though each blow landed on different parts of his body.

"Oh! Something has changed, Kyojuro! You're even stronger than before! Interesting... I thought you had already reached your limits! Perfect, it's even more exciting like this!"

He was right, there was a notable transformation in your childhood friend. His execution speed was even higher than you remembered, but his red eye and the rest of his features were devoid of their usual warlike rage while caught up in a difficult fight. His visage was drenched with blood, likely from the severe concussion from his brutal impact against the other building. Yet, beneath the river of hemoglobin, you discerned darker, flame-like patterns.

Kyojuro had awakened his Demon Slayer Mark.

Taisho secret: The canonical story remains silent about the Flame Breathing Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Forms, leaving room for our imagination. With this chapter, we have finally seen all my interpretation of these missing kata:

Flame Breathing, Sixth Form: Meteorite Fall The swordsman descends from above onto his opponent, cutting them into pieces.

Flame Breathing, Seventh Form: Phoenix’s Wrath A deadly scorching attack, taking the shape of a phoenix.

Flame Breathing, Eighth Form: Undying embers Multiple circular or oblique attacks designed to decapitate or corner a formidable opponent.

Next chapter: "The Tsuguko's Teachings"

Same michikatsu backsotyr Anon:

So we know he and Yoriichi were raised in a Shinobi family (obvi swapped with Tengen’s family being samurai) and that like canon, the twins were raised separately but met in secret. It’s implied that Michikatsu trained Yoriichi and that the two of them became demon slayers together. Michikatsu is a mist breather while Yoriichi is unconfirmed, but we know he had a black sword and a demon slayer mark and that their family were descendants of the original Sun Breather

We also know that they were both married 29 years ago and their wives were pregnant. We know that Michikatsu’s son and wife did not survive. We know that Michikatsu has not lived in his current house for very long. We know that Michikatsu was cold and cussed a lot until the death of Tsutako Tomioka fourteen years ago, who has been implied to be like a Pseudo-daughter for him. It’s implied very harshly that Michikatsu has tried to kill himself several times in the past. We know that Michikatsu was closer with the Hashira of Hisa and Urokodaki’s generation than those in Shizu Shinazugawa’s and younger. It’s implied that Michikatsu mistreated his wife somehow, but nobody outside of Michikatsu and Hisa and Jigoro Kuwajima know exactly what happened.

We know that Yoriichi called him “Michi”. We know that he calls himself “Katsu”. We know he was a bitter child who hated the world until he got to know his twin brother. We know he’s studied philosophy, poetry, and meditation practice. We know he’s a good teacher as Kaigaku recommends him and Senjuro prefers him over his assigned calligraphy teacher. We know he knows about Nezuko’s family, or at least why they died. We know nothing else.

You’ve summed him up. There’s a reason I ranked him as the most tragic Hashira in my AU with Giyuu being a distant second

➵ Wᴀʟᴛᴢ Oғ Fᴀʟʟɪɴɢ Iɴ Lᴏᴠᴇ

✦ I recommend listening to the music while reading, it'd make more sense that way and sweetens the deal~! Also I know it's a lot of words but please read this if you can, I'm sorry for making it too long >~<

You were a new teacher that became the talk all over the academy for a short while. Y/n L/n was your name, teaching students Home Economics.

From what the teachers know, you've been teaching for a couple of years before you stepped into their school. Reasons for changing schools are unknown, for the new teacher is oddly quiet. Students describe you as strict, and rather stoic, similar to Giyuu. Although, you're far more gentle, kind and a little shy, a very understanding teacher who rarely scolds your students and take time to reteach lessons to struggling students.

You kept to yourself, a lot. You barely spoke unless you're inside a classroom for a lecture, or required to speak. The only person who knows much more about you than everyone else was the principal, and even then, no one can squeeze any information from him due to your wish for him to keep everything a secret.

The staff were slightly disheartened at the arrival of the new teacher, seeing how much you act so similarly to Giyuu Tomioka, but now, they can't bring themselves to dislike the silent teacher. You were supportive, caring in your own way, and very patient. People often see you sitting down with Giyuu during lunch, never speaking, only eating. Silent people tend to mingle together, so they say.

Others find it confusing as to why you would even be together, but it was obvious to everyone that the ever-so stoic teacher, Giyuu, was happier with your company.

You were an enigma to most people. You never talk about yourself, opting to sit in silence and work, quickly becoming the most hardworking teacher in the academy in the span of a few months. If someone were to chat to you, you'd only listen, nodding and smiling, giving out small comments here and there.

You, undoubtedly, are a great teacher, students enjoyed your soothing silence and what seems to be never-ending patience for your dearest students. A small smile was always etched on your face, adoring your already enthralling features.

And yet, no one knows anything about you.

It frustrates Sanemi, and he doesn't know why. You're one of the school's favourites, but not a single crumb of information is known about you. Not even your age! No hobbies, no outside friends, no family you've ever spoken of, interests, nothing at all! You don't come to parties, lunches or dinners, and are always buried in your laptop, typing away. That, or you're grading papers.

Why the teacher was so secretive is unknown to the whole academy, which sprouted rumours everywhere. What first came to be small, ridiculous rumours turned hurtful and downright scandalous. The issue has been fixed, fortunately. No one could stand the sad look in your eyes, so it didn't last for long.

Everyone was still curious about you though, including Sanemi Shinazugawa. So, he approached you. Maybe your mysterious aura was overwhelming that he has had enough of it. Why was he getting so bothered by your secrecy? He never cared about anything for Tomioka, so why did he speak to you that wasn't work-related? Maybe it's because even Tomioka has told a few things about himself to his coworkers, unlike you.

Was his curiosity about their secrecy a justifiable reason as to why he approached you in the first place? Probably not, so his coworkers (who were brave enough) teased him about it, to which he just brushed off. While Sanemi prodded you for information, he never went over the line, always respecting your boundaries. He's not an asshole, of course, the least he wanted to do to one of the nicest teachers in the school is to scare them away.

But you proved to be stubborn, rejecting his offers to talk sometimes in the nicest ways possible, afraid to displease or anger a fellow teacher. Surprisingly, Sanemi never did relent, but his efforts toned down once he figured you'd rather be on your own, much to his dismay. Why is it that he seems to be a moth drawn into the cool, bright light you give off? Why does he gravitates toward you whenever you're around? Why does he feel the need to get to know you?

Was it because of the same, gentle smile you give him, as you do to every other teacher?

The first time you began to regularly greeted him, in your own silent ways, was when bad rumours began to spread. Sanemi did not stand for such insolence towards a teacher, especially towards a good person like you. It just happened to be that, one day, Sanemi was walking right behind you towards the teacher's lounge. He heard students murmuring behind your back with malicious glints in their eyes. No wonder why you've been in such a downcast mood. Still, despite the glossiness of your eyes, and the slight puffiness of your nose, you held a smile. Sanemi felt something burning inside of him, pacing towards the students shamelessly gossiping close to their lockers. He scolded them, loudly. They've never seen such rage coming from their Math Teacher, and he seems to be always mad! He fumed, telling them how rude they were being to one of their teachers, and that they have no shame for not even hiding it. He told them that your private life is none of their business, and to leave you alone about it you do not wish to share. He hadn't realized it yet, but he was the reason the rumours slowly dissipated. When he entered the lounge, he found you smiling at him. It's been a few days since the rumours started, and what he did bring back the big, tender smile that he adored back to your lips, bowing to him in gratitude. You began to smile at him every day as a greeting. Sometimes followed with a wave or a quiet 'good morning'. He doesn't mind it at all. It's not like he looks forward to seeing your smile every day, and hopes that it's one of those days you'd speak to him. Sure, you smile at everyone every day, but he can't help but feel special whenever you look at him with the obvious gratefulness towards him and glee in your eyes.

Was it because you offered him your ohagi when he muttered under his breath that he's craving it that one time?

It was lunch break. While everyone took out the meals they packed, or buy their lunch in the cafeteria, you waited and put away your belongings on your desk and into your drawer, or inside your bag. You always walk outside with Giyuu for lunch, it became your routine, since you're the only one who's willing to accompany the man. It always makes you wonder why everyone seemed to dislike him when he's very sweet! You stood from your desk, carrying the lunch box that you prepared for yourself this morning, walking past your fellow teachers and towards Giyuu. Right when you passed Sanemi, you heard him mumble something about ohagi, followed by a frustrated sigh. You stopped in your tracks, a little guilty for being nosey, but you opened your lunch box, grabbed one of the ohagi you happened to pack for today, and tapped on his shoulder. Unsurprisingly, he grumbled, telling you off, not realizing who it was. You faltered for a moment, unsure if you should offer it to him in the first place after his refusal, but you shook your head, determined to give him the snack. When you tapped on his shoulder again, his eye twitched, spinning his chair to face you and was about to yell, but then, he realized it was just you. Sanemi uncharacteristically recoiled, clearing his throat, then he asked if you needed anything in a much more controlled tone. You blinked, then rubbed the back of your neck, smiling sheepishly at him. You shoved the piece of ohagi in his hands, face flushing in embarrassment, and before he could say anything, you already teetered away. Sanemi watched you grab Giyuu's arm, your head down as you dragged the confused teacher out of the lounge. He let out a mirthful huff through his nose, eyeing the ohagi you gave him and took a bite. It tasted really good, even he was impressed. When he asked you where you bought the small snack the next day, you flushed again, looking away, though he could still see the tips of your ears are still red. You told him you made them yourself. He was in awe, but he'd never admit it. Glancing at him, you offered to give him ohagi every time you had time to make some. Usually, he'd scowl and say no... But you make really good ohagi, and you're basically giving it to him for free, so who was he to refuse? It's definitely not because it's you who made it.

Or was it because you helped him grade his students' tests once?

Sanemi sighed as he rubbed his temples, taking a seat on his desk. Some smart ass students took their tests home and didn't attend school for a whole week for some dumb reason; a stupid dare. Because of their actions, Sanemi is now behind amongst all other teachers and the due date of passing these 'shitheads', as he'd call them, grades are closer than his liking. He was usually one of the earliest to pass his students' grades as soon as the due date was set, but now, because of this drawback, he had to stay overtime for a little to finish grading their tests, and so he could just rest in his home afterwards. Although, the 'rest' part is an uncertain part of his plans seeing as it was a handful of students who decided to take the dare seriously. Oh, how he regrets adding long essays now. You always took the liberty to clean the lounge after hours, taking turns with other teachers as soon as they found out. After returning the broom to the janitor's closet, you walked back into the lounge to see Sanemi on his desk, to your surprise. You remembered what happened just a while ago, watching him explode to his students was utterly terrifying to a fault. Quickly packing your things, you waved at Sanemi in a greeting, to which he just acknowledged with a curt nod. Taking the desk next to him, you curiously analyzed the small stack of unchecked papers on his desk. Sanemi, pausing briefly to look at you, confused as to why you're still here. You just flashed him a small smile, gesturing at the papers right next to him. Sanemi got a gist of what you're trying to say, glancing at the clock to see it's been and a half since the bell rang. He didn't want to hold you back on your plans, so he asked if you were sure. You nod eagerly, pulling out your red ballpen from your bag. He could only sigh as he gave you half of the unchecked stack of test papers, while also sharing the answer sheet with you. After telling you his standards when it comes to checking essays (which he's a little anxious about leaving it up to you, but he supposes he could trust your judgement), the two of you went straight to grading. He was glad that you accompanied him for the rest of the day, silently, but comfortably checking papers together, occasionally asking each other's opinions on some of the students' essays. Sanemi enjoyed your quiet and soothing company, and appreciated you for not even making fun of his students' essays, no matter how bad or half-baked they are. He was thankful for your help, and because of this, he was motivated to finish his students' grades and report as fast as he could.

Sanemi wasn't sure why he opts to stay around you when you'd rather be alone than be around people for too long. His worry and confusion intensifies when he found himself completely fine with it. It doesn't help the fact that you're beginning to grow accustomed to his company.

Soon enough, he began to ask you out when he has the time, just to spend some time with you. He brings out to friendly activities, and so, he began to learn more and more about you. He's rather discreet about it too, considering how you'd feel, so he'd ask in small notes, or over text. You're not ashamed of your budding friendship with the man, or being seen out in public with him, and he knows this.

You'd rather stay in your own personal bubble, with the familiar presence of your newfound friend.

You went to a bakery, and he found out what's your favourite pastry. You went to a restaurant and he found out your favourite meal and drinks. You went out to the park and he found out what's your favourite flowers and plants. When you ask him about it, on why he asks to hang out, doing anything and everything, he always shoots back defensively, weakly glaring at you.

"Because you're all on your lonely ass all the time, no one knows jack shit about you." You ask him why he was so persistent in bringing you out. "You don't seem like the kind of person who goes out much." You're mortified at that answer. How did he know!? He only smirked at your reaction, shoulders shaking slightly as he suppressed a laugh. "I thought so."

"Eh!? That was just an assumption!?" You fumed, crossing your arms as heat crawled up to your cheeks. His smirk widened, turning around as he walked towards your destination, leaving you to catch up with him. "Your fault for making it so obvious."

He's glad that instead of you shying away like the first time he asked (he realized you were just shy), you'd smile and nod at every single offer he gives you. No one noticed your closeness to the hot-headed Math teacher, because your interactions with him are very small and usually behind closed doors. The only ones who knows about it were Kanae and Obanai, he often asks them for advice.

Sanemi is not sure why they'd always chuckle at him whenever he asks, and simply defends himself by stating that he's only being nice, seeing how everyone wants to befriend the secretive teacher, but he's the only one who had the guts to keep prodding you. When asked why, he's usually left speechless and unsure.

He's the first to find out that when you're not shy, you're not so bad. You're pretty talkative and have a lot to say, so he listens. Not every day a silent person talks, you know? Spanning from your students, random things, to your background, he listens intently. And he doesn't know why. He's just being nice, right?

One day, he took you out to a bar, albeit hesitant. He doesn't know if you can handle alcohol, or if you drank, but you were so happy when he mentioned a bar. He shook his worries away, spending a nice night drinking with you. Sanemi doesn't drink much, and it stayed that way when the two of you began to drink, talk and have fun. He only took a couple of shots, deciding to stay sober for you, just in case you drank too much.

In your drunken stupor, you said to him, "Thanks for being my friend, Shinazugawa-san... If-if that's what you wanna call each other..." He raises a brow at that but didn't say anything so you continued. He noticed that you've become extra flustered, nervously averting your eyes and playing with your shot glass. "F-friends! It's just that... I haven't had much fun in the past years with a-anyone... I always work and w-work, because I feel like that's the only thing I can do w-with my life..." You slurred, leaning down on the table as you struggled to keep your eyelids open. "I feel like that's m-my only worth... That I don't need... fr-friends because I only need to work hard..."

Sanemi blinks at the sudden confession surprised that you're opening up to him on such a sensitive part about you. He was about to say something but you beat him to it, grasping his hand with both of yours, a drunken, but gentle smile gracing your lips as you traced your fingers against the lines of his hand. His breath hitched, his body tensing at the unexpected contact, his face flushed.

"But... You've been very insistent to hang out even if I said no a few times in the beginning.. Y-you were the only one who showed great... great interest to my hobbies and... I've been making time to enjoy them again..." You admitted, wrapping your hands around his and gazed into his eyes, caressing his knuckles with your thumb. He felt like his face was on fire, staring at you with shock. "Spending time with you was very refreshing, and... It made me appreciate my life a bit more... Thank you, Shinazugawa-san..."

Sanemi snapped back into reality, heaving a small sigh as he brought his other hand up, holding your hands into his'. A smile emerged on his lips, eyes softening at your vulnerability Perhaps you were just drunk, but you know what they say about truths spilling when you're drunk. He's thankful. Thankful that you trust him, and that he's made an impact on your life. That's when he knew he fell in love.

The school held a small formal party for all the staff in the academy. Not all are required to join, so everyone expected you not to show up, but lo and behold.

Sanemi was absolutely floored when you walked through the door. Gorgeous, was the first thought that came to his mind as his eyes followed your every movement. His eyes finally stopped on your face, your smile widening when you spot him. You shyly waved at him, rubbing the back of your neck. He felt heat creep up to his neck.

The party was silly, in Sanemi's opinion. It was similar to a prom, as to relive their younger years since the school's prom was coming soon. It was also a nice break from work, catching up with others and just enjoying the music. He wasn't even sure why he came here in the first place, but when he saw you, he knew it was all worth it.

To everyone's surprise, including yours, Sanemi asked you for a dance. On the outside, he's rather calm and confident, his hand out for yours, but on the inside, he's cursing himself on what the hell he's doing. He's not the only one who looked shocked when you accepted his hand

Now, Sanemi is not much of a dancer, and in his younger years, he never attended prom. He thought it was unnecessary, but reading his now unsure expression he struggled to hide, you easily assumed this fact.

Pressing your bodies close but comfortably, Sanemi's body went rigid, eyes wide, but you just smiled, gently placing one of his hands on your waist, and the other to hold your hand. You then placed your other hand on his shoulder and began to lead the dance. Your smile widened once more when you found out he's not too bad at this, catching up to your steps rather quickly and mimicking your pace to not throw you offbeat.

When he picked up the rhythm, giving Sanemi the lead, he became more relaxed, a small smile adorning his handsome features. The two of you danced on the dancefloor, flowing with the waltz that played through the speakers. No one paid the two of you mind, much to your relief. "You're doing great, Shinazugawa-san." You whispered loud enough for him to hear, pushing his body into a twirl, grinning ear to ear.

He let out a small grunt at the sudden action, taking the lead once more. The dance was slow and lax, close and intimate. Easy steps as you followed the music. But it's also a friendly fight for dominance, making him smile even more. He likes a challenge.

Whilst you danced, he pondered. Why was he so into you? It's a question he's been asking himself ever since he realized how he acts around you.

He can easily answer that now. Because you're a hardworking person, despite being so lost in the darkness for a huge portion of your life. You have a heart of gold, choosing to stay kind to the people around you, despite your pains. You're ravishing, stunning and more. Whenever you accidentally fall asleep when you spend time together, he'd hold your face in his hands. Cheeks plush against his palms as he stroked your features with his fingers oh-so-gently.

You've pushed yourself so hard up until this point, and he's proud that you're living life again. He doesn't want to take credit, no, but he's glad to be a part of your realization. Part of your life that you're starting to accept and take the joy of.

Slow, careful strides across the dancefloor, then a turn, spinning you around then pulling you back into his arms, dancing back into the beat. You've been building up the courage to ask him something that's been in your mind for a while now. It's been a year ever since you've worked as a teacher at Kimetsu Academy, and you've gotten really close to Sanemi. It was a rocky road, there are times when the two of you didn't meet eye to eye or were simply too busy to talk to one another, but after all the events that unfolded over the past year, you wondered why he was so stubborn on getting to know you back then.

You took a deep breath, moving your head so that your lips are directed to his ear, cheeks so close that it presses against each other. Sanemi's hold tightened, but he continued to dance nevertheless, sending you a questionable gaze.

"You're... Awfully nice to me, Shinazugawa-san... why?" Asked you, a small frown tugging at the corner of your lips, your smile wavering as multiple possibilities came across your head. If this was all a joke, you weren't sure how you were going to recover from it. "Is it a dare? Is it because you pity my loneliness?"

You hear Sanemi let out a sigh, for whatever reason you're unaware of. He wrapped his arm around your waist, making you gasp whilst he pulled you even closer to him. You couldn't help but flush at how close you two are, you could feel his hot breath against your cheek. "No..." He paused, movements slightly offbeat. You waited, body tense in anticipation. "It's because... I love you."

The chattering of people around you seem to muffle as the soft chimes of bells reached your ears, melodically ringing to the tunes of the violins, piano and accordion emitted, resonating against the walls. His words echoed inside your mind, louder than the music as time slowed for you. Under the tinted lights of the dancefloor, he looked heavenly. His hair flowed along with your movements, his pale, purple eyes glistened as he stared at you. His face held seriousness, at the same time, tenderness, waiting for your response, now leading the dance.

Your eyes widened as your lips part, you gape at him. Him? Love me? You internally screeched, your heart beating hard against your ribs. You must be dreaming. It has to be! The way the light accentuates the scars you grew to love, the warmth of his body against yours, and the music playing enchantingly. You blink, staring back at him. A thought crossed your mind that almost made you laugh. He'd make a great prince. You mused, your expression softening.

Pushing your legs to move with the rhythm once more, you intertwined your fingers into Sanemi's hand. A small, surprised noise escaped his lips when you laid your head against his chest, a big, dreamy smile on your face. Pink dusted his cheeks, gulping as his hold on your hand tightened. You could hear his heart beating faster and faster, beating as fast as yours.

"Could you be more straightforward?" Sanemi huffed, an annoyed expression on his face. If you hadn't known him for a while now, you wouldn't have noticed the way he looked at you so fondly. His voice was barely above a whisper, a little pitch higher as he tried to process everything that's happened. He was sure this was your way of saying that you loved him back.

He's so gentle to you, eyes half-lidded and a small smile etched on his face. It made your heart flutter helplessly at his beauty. Straightforward, huh? You thought, pulling your head away from his head and leaning close to his face until your lips were inches apart. Sanemi froze, halting the dance for a moment. Your breath tingled against his lips, his turn to widen his eyes as he slightly part his lips.

You quickly captured his lips onto yours, the hand on his shoulder slowly trailing up to his neck and onto his cheek, caressing the scars on his handsome face. Your lips were soft against his', no matter the texture. Delicate, warm, and tender. So alluring, so inviting. Surprised gasps and supportive cheers fell on deaf ears as Sanemi quickly reciprocated the kiss, lips moving languidly against yours, with the intent to leave you out of breath.

He matched your rhythm, but he kissed with such vehemence, deepening the kiss as he tilted his head. Sanemi lightly nipped at your bottom lip, trailing wet, butterfly kisses to the corner of your lips, and down to your jawline. He heard you gasp lightly for air, fingertips skimming his scars, making him shudder in delight.

A small giggle left your lips when you saw how red his face was, uncharacteristically embarrassed at your sudden boldness and turned his head away from you. He scowled when he heard you giggle, but he couldn't help melting into your touch, as you leaned to his ear again, whispering; "You asked for it," and leaving a small kiss on his cheek, right on his scar, then laid your head back onto his chest.

You led the dance once again, for Sanemi was left speechless. Music continued to play as the people dancing along the two of you dispersed, leaving the dancefloor to you and Sanemi. Waltzes had always been your favourite, you once told Sanemi. A waltz had long, flowing movements, continuous turns, and rise and falls, to be danced with a partner.

Oh how a dance can perfectly describe love.
