Bookmarker's Notes
After the events of Part 1, Denji and Reze meet on the same beach once a year every year. Every time they meet, Reze says that it's the last time they'll see each other, but every year, she comes back like the liar she is.
It's short, but has a happy ending!

What if Reze had made it back to the café that day—and Denji was still there, waiting for her?
With a bouquet in his arms and a promise to run away together, Denji chooses Reze, and Reze chooses him.
Leaving Tokyo behind, the two set out with no real destination and no idea what kind of future awaits them. For the first time, they have the chance to live not as weapons, not as tools for someone else, but simply as themselves.
Between running, fighting, laughing, and learning what an ordinary life can be, Denji and Reze begin to discover who they are—and what it means to choose someone for themselves.
A story about two people who were never allowed to choose their own lives, finally choosing a path together.Series

Bookmarker's Notes
Reze escapes from the Soviets and meets Denji and Pochita shortly before the events of Part 1. Very, very well written with a good mix of wholesome fluff and angst. Probably one of the best technically written Den/Reze fanfics I’ve come across.

Summary
The Butterfly Effect: The idea that a very small change in one part of a system can have large effects in other parts. A single choice can lead to numerous consequences in the future. A decision as simple as taking the long road to a café instead of taking the shortcut through the alley. What happens then? What happens when two weapons decide they don’t want to be weapons any longer?
A Chainsaw Man Part 1 rewrite, stemming from one decision: What if Reze didn't take the alley on that fateful morning? What if she was allowed to reunite with Denji on the Crossroads café and run away? As the pair escapes from Tokyo, Makima makes a change of plans to keep her dog on her leash.

What if Reze took the long way to Crossroads instead of the alley? (Denji and Reze run away together at the end of the Bomb Girl Arc).
Very, very good characterization for Denji and Reze. (Reze especially).

Denji rescues Reze from the Soviets after defeating Makima. Basically, CSM Part 2, but Denji isn’t able to suppress his memories/feelings about Reze.
My second favorite DenReze fanfic on AO3.

Summary
Still bearing the scars from his time with Public Safety, Denji tries his hardest to get used to taking care of eight animals and a reincarnated Control Devil while also figuring out what the hell he was supposed to do when not keeping his brain too busy to think about everything he’s gone through the past year or so by killing devils or by working minimum wage.
Still bearing the scars from her time with the Soviet Union, Reze tries her hardest to get used to begrudgingly working as a devil hunter for a wounded Public Safety desperate for personnel while also figuring out what the hell she was supposed to do when tossed into general society out of ‘good behavior’ as if she wasn’t one of the worst monsters on payroll.
They meet again, somewhere in the middle.
Or: Bomb, Chainsaw, and getting used to mundanity.

Bookmarker's Notes
Denji/Reze fanfiction where Reze re-enters Denji's life at the very beginning of Part 2. The two still love each other, but true reconciliation between the two is going to take some time. Basically, it's a slow burn.

Summary
Fresh from his date with Makima, Denji finds himself torn. On one hand, his life has improved more than he could have ever imagined: Aki is beginning to warm up to him, Power hasn't tried to kill him this week, and working under Makima was like a dream come true! However, despite all of this, he still finds himself plagued by doubts. Does he have a heart? Can he love anyone? Could anyone love him?
It was just meant to be another mission for Reze, a simple undercover operation to ensnare and capture the Public Safety rookie with a devil for a heart. What she didn't expect was to find her self enjoying the mundane life of a waitress and, increasingly, the company of the boy who was meant to be her target. The flirting is still all just an act... right?
As their happy routine rapidly hurtles towards conflict, both Denji and Reze will be left at a crossroads with tough choices ahead. Though maybe it can take just one decision to change a bleak future?

Denj/Reze Fanfiction where Denji attempts to run away with Reze at the beach. It doesn't work out. Long story short, she gets forcibly recruited into Public Safety and remains for the entirety of Part 1.
(It's premise is simple, but it is nonetheless my favorite Den/Reze Fanfic on AO3)
