    Summary

    As Shinobu relentlessly pushes Giyu, she begins to recognize the quiet intellect and crushing burden of guilt he carries, slowly falling for the man beneath the ice.

    Giyu, meanwhile, is thrown off balance by her persistent presence and unnerving mix of mockery and genuine warmth. He struggles to process the confusing intensity of his own emerging feelings.

    Through shared missions, competitive banter, and moments of vulnerability, the emotional dam Giyu has maintained for years finally breaks. Overwhelmed by the truth of Shinobu's affection and his own powerful need for connection, Giyu is forced to abandon his silence and take decisive action.

    This is a journey of two souls, bonded by shared loss, who ultimately find healing and a vibrant, blossoming love that proves even the most burdened spirits can achieve beautiful, well-deserved happiness.

    Summary

    “Oi, Tomioka—”

    “Which one?” Shinobu asks with a close-eyed smile.

    He hesitates before pointing to Giyuu. “The original one.”

    Giyuu blinks, pointing to himself, while Shinobu folds her arms across her chest. “My, I don’t quite like the sound of that. It makes me feel like a counterfeit.”

    Giyuu and Shinobu—married, a little annoyed (but happily), and learning how to share everything... even their name.

    Summary

    Tokito Muichiro, aged way-too-young-for-university-housing, is looking for a place to live. The Wisteria Sharehouse is looking for an eighth housemate. It should be a perfect fit.

    Except that the Wisteria Sharehouse is full of nosy, noisy people who seem to think their child-prodigy housemate who'd really rather be left alone is the most interesting person in the world.

    So really, what did he expect them all to do when they found out about his favorite hobby?

    (OR: put seven Hashira in a modern-day university sharehouse with a teenage prodigy who just wants to go look for some birds, and you get...well, chaos, probably. Probably chaos.)

    Summary

    I always thought I'd die by a demon's hand.

    He pressed his eyes shut, enduring the cold, suffocating panic. Hanahaki. He understood the choice now. He had to tear the affection from his heart, or let the flowers bloom and kill him.
    But the thought of facing Shinobu Kocho with the bald, painful fact that she did not share this dangerous love was a deeper, more immediate agony than the poison in his chest.
    I would rather die, he thought, than know she doesn't love me back. The wisteria, a beautiful lie, was a softer way to go.

    Summary

    They survive the mission.
    They survive the storm.

    What they aren’t prepared to survive is what happens after Shinobu steps outside the small house and returns with trembling hands, flushed skin, and a secret she tries to carry alone.

    Giyuu has faced demons his whole life, but nothing prepares him for the way she looks at him that night like he’s the only solid thing left in a world spinning out of control.

    Outside, the blizzard howls.
    Inside, the distance between them doesn’t survive the storm.

    Because some nights are about survival.
    And some nights change everything.

    Summary

    The story's title basically serves as the summary: a "What IF" story where Shinobu and Giyuu met as children, before everything fell apart.

    This story was inspired by Life After the End, written by writesficsforfun. Note that any similarities are not entirely coincidental, as certain aspects were influenced by that work. Please feel free to reach out if you need clarification.

    The original work is written in Chinese and is cross-posted on AO3 as well as a Chinese platform called LOFTER. Both the original and the translation are done by me.

    Summary

    The plan was never as simple as it seemed. Shinobu Kochou was going to survive pre-med, secure her white coat, pursue her goals, dreams and uphold her family’s legacy. There was no room for distractions... or so she thought.

    Giyuu Tomioka was used to the loud pressure of the football stadium, but he wasn’t prepared for the quiet danger of Shinobu Kochou. What starts as a tentative friendship quickly evolves into a situationship that neither can define nor quit. It’s a touch-and-go game of stolen hours between midnight study sessions and 5:00 AM practices, played on the edge of their hearts.

    The hazards aren't just in the lack of sleep or the blurred lines. In this game, the most dangerous thing you can lose is your focus.

    Summary

    She vanished without a trace — and the Corps whispered her name like a ghost.

    Shinobu Kocho, once a prodigy, now lives hidden among humans, crafting poisons capable of killing demons without a blade. A quiet vengeance.
    A death wish disguised as purpose.

    But when Giyu Tomioka finds her again, everything she buried begins to surface — grief, rage, tenderness she can’t afford. He wants to save her.
    A demon wants to keep her.
    And Shinobu… isn’t sure she wants either.

    As love, loyalty and obsession tighten around her like threads of silk, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:

    Not all demons hunger for flesh —
    and not every hero longs to live.

    Summary

         This story is a poignant symphony of sacrifice and redemption, where the bitter notes of vengeance clash with the resilient harmony of human connection. It delves into the profound question of whether a life-ending duty can truly bring peace, or if true solace is found in defying a predetermined fate through the courage to embrace love and vulnerability.
