    Summary

    "You're a hero no matter what," Katsuki said firmly, desperately, "so you don't have to quit."

    Because that had to be the problem. Izuku didn’t think he could do it, but he could. He could do anything, or not use any support item at all, and he’d still be twice the hero Katsuki would ever be.

    Izuku’s eyes went soft and sympathetic. “I know, Kacchan.”

    ...What?

    -

    Katsuki was glad Izuku was fine, obviously. He'd just expected... something.

    But in the aftermath of the war, everything seems to fall short of expectations.

    Heroism, especially.

    Summary

    The newest Hashira was an oddity and a mystery. Only a few years older than Muichiro, but seemingly so much more a child. Loud and displeasing to the ear, crying and wailing constantly, Giyuu didn’t understand how a coward such as Agatsuma Zenitsu could have ever reached a rank such as theirs, particularly without even so much as a shred of evidence regarding his skill.

    It was one of the very few things he and the other Hashira distinctly agreed upon. The boy did not belong. He was unfit to be a slayer, a protector. The boy was a liability, and now, every day he would disappear, up into the mountains of the prefecture they were in, in the middle of winter with Demons supposedly about.

    In search of coal of all things.

    Summary

    "Shh. It's dead now. The trap worked." Zenitsu flinched at the sticky warmth on his cheeks, not tears, but Tanjirou's blood.

    Somewhere behind Tanjirou, the floorboards creaked. Inosuke leaned against the shattered doorframe, his boar mask askew, revealing one swollen-shut eye and a grin too sharp to be human. "Toldja he'd cry," he snorted, spitting red onto the floor. "Like a damn waterwheel."

    Tanjirou shot him a glare, but Zenitsu caught it, the twitch at the corner of his mouth. Amusement. Agreement. Something inside him cracked wider.

    Zenitsu's breath hitched wetly. He wanted to shove Tanjirou away, to scream that they didn't get to laugh at him while his knees still shook from the scent of his own piss, but his fingers only tightened in Tanjirou's haori, knuckles white against the bloodstained fabric. The metallic tang filled his nose, thick enough to taste. His throat burned. Of course they'd mock him. He'd sat here sobbing while they fought. While they bled.

     
    (In which a mission leaves Zenitsu with the crippling feeling of being just a burden, and Tanjirou doesn't understand, but wishes he could see him smile again.)

    Summary

    Onii-chan? he thought. Something you call your older brother. The familiar girl tried to help him up, ushering him from where he was laying down in the cold snow in front of the doorway and inside the small home where the sickly sweet smell was stronger. The girl paled as soon as she opened the dilapidated door, but she steeled herself and guided him inside, and it was then that he saw it, the carnage that was inside of what used to be a quaint little home. Corpses of people strewn about carelessly, their blood seeping through the tatami floor— Mom, Takeo, Hanako, Shigeru, Rokuta — seemingly against his will, his knees crumpled down onto the floor, tears filling his eyes as his throat let out the most agonizing sound…

    And it all came rushing back.

    His name was Kamado Tanjirou.
    --
    A (Mostly) Tanjirou-centric Role Reversal AU. Where Tanjirou never stops being an older brother, despite becoming a demon.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This is how demon slayer should have been written from the start. I haven't seen a more satisfying fanfiction in this fandom. My new canon. Pure perfection
