Summary
Rengoku Kyojuro, the Flame Hashira, lives with his depressed father, timid younger brother, sick mother, and the annoying neighborhood demon who won't stop pestering him. As if demon slaying wasn't stressful enough, now his life has turned into a family sitcom.
What started as a crack fic on Tumblr grew into a five-season sitcom with cameos from across the Kimetsu no Yaiba cast. Will Kyojuro and his Tsuguko ever rid the Rengoku household of this pest? Will Akaza get to keep his new found family (forever, as demons)? Will Ruka survive her illness? Will Senjuro ever get a decent meal? Will Shinjuro uphold his family line's honor, or at least the structural integrity of the house? Find out next time on the (surprisingly sincere) family-friendly sitcom Kyojuro hates!

Hashira First, Spouses Second: The GiyuShino Low-Key Married AU by Buriko

Summary
It's just two weak pillars supporting one another. What difference does it make if they get married?
From the perspective of canon, not much. They are so low-key about the relationship that not even all the other Hashira know about it. Giyuu and Shinobu promised one another to prioritize their demon slaying missions, but that locus of priority can make it difficult to navigate their roles as spouses. What happens with their missions is of no real concern to the other, right? Maybe they both need to talk more, before they find bigger things to argue about than fictional baby names.This is the chronological version of my somewhat popular Tumblr-based AU, with doodles showing how this sort of lens through which to view canon either makes everything funnier or much more painful. The doodles will be posted here as relevant, but long-time followers of the AU have lots of new material to look forward to.

The Birth of a Nichirin Blade by Buriko
Fandoms: 鬼滅の刃 | Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (Anime), 鬼滅の刃 | Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (Manga)

Summary
Part deep dive into the lore of the Swordsmith Village and Nichirin blades, part exposition on how the real life swordsmiths turn mountains into katana, this is an unabashedly educational fic with everything from illustrations to vocabulary to help build a deeper appreciation for this aspect of the Kimetsu no Yaiba universe.
But it's also the story of Teppi. He's an eager young swordsmith who admires, but doesn't know a dang thing about his father's masterpieces. He's about to do the back-breaking labor of learning his heritage, from sunny Mt. Youkou to the fiery depths of the workshop. It takes a village to teach a know-nothing, so in addition to his father, Teppi will find himself under the tutelage of a master smelting foreman and under the thumb of the master of the Haganezuka polishing method.

Melded Breath and Blood by Buriko

Summary
Fluffy post-canon, canon compliant ZenNezu content, but with the angsty addition of Kaigaku's ghost.
Zenitsu tries to hide the lingering effects of Kaigaku's Demon Blood Art, as well as the frustration that his elder martial still clings to the world through him. He can't hide it from Nezuko for long once they live together at the Kamado house. She has still been figuring out her feelings for him, let alone getting to know Zenitsu at all, and she finds his condition worrisome. With Kaigaku lingering, perhaps Zenitsu will never fill his own box of happiness.

Summary
"He's active again. He's on a mission, but reluctantly."
Zenitsu's latest assignment sends him right back to where he started. Of all the markets for a demon to prowl, it just had to pick his hometown.
It figures.
(Takes place just before Chapter 100, following the entertainment district arc.)
