Summary

Sanemi, the prince of the Wind Kingdom, is getting married. He's not fond of it, but he'd be a fool to pass up an opportunity like this, he knows that for sure.

He does not know that Giyuu, his betrothed, has a secret: He's carrying a curse.

Summary

It’s a bit difficult, going to Tanjiro and Kanao’s wedding. Not because Giyuu isn’t happy for them, or because the venue is hard to find, no, nothing like that.

It’s because this will be the first time he’s going to see Sanemi since the other had left Japan nearly five years ago.

Summary

This is the worst-case scenario.
Almost a year ago, Giyuu was revealed to be one of the nine Champions destined to unlock powers and the acceptance of a Divine Beast, using them to help the Sun Kingdom’s warrior take down Muzan—the Calamity. He was nervous, but hopeful, at first.
But now, the Calamity's return is coming, and Giyuu is the only one keeping them unprepared.

Summary

Sanemi has to face it. For all he knows, Giyuu could be dead, could’ve been dead the moment the monster struck him, and Sanemi wouldn’t even know it. He’ll never know it, either, because he can’t use magic to sense if Giyuu’s okay, he can’t physically move to him, and he’s going to die here without holding Giyuu again or knowing what happened to the rest of their friends.
The rumbling in the distance reaches the arena, and as the ground shakes, Sanemi closes his eyes, hoping that Giyuu knows how much he’s always loved him, even though they couldn’t reach each other at the end of all things.

Summary

Giyuu sits quietly on a bench outside his office building, a slightly younger soldier beside him. He’s been tasked with helping the other through grief counseling since he’s had his fair share of it. The counseling, yes, but especially the grief.
A small sequel to "what was entrusted to me."

Summary

Sanemi turned fully to look at him, eyes intense and angry, their faces inches apart as Sanemi gripped the edge of Giyuu’s uniform.

“This isn’t going to work if you’re going to have an attitude all day, y’know. Are you even listening? I need to know you’ve got my back. If you get me killed, I’m going to be pissed.” He released Giyuu, who blinked at him in surprise.

“What would you like me to say?” He managed.

Sanemi scoffed. “I don’t know, you could start with a yes? No? Maybe?” He paused and gauged Giyuu’s non-reaction. “Or maybe a who’s Sabito?” Giyuu stared at him until Sanemi finally rolled his eyes and turned away. “Whatever. You can’t dodge the question forever.”

*
*
While sparring, Giyuu accidentally calls Sanemi by Sabito's name, and Sanemi won't let it go. Though he insists to himself it was a meaningless accident, while assigned to a mission together, memories Giyuu would rather forget stir to the surface, and he realizes the comparisons might go deeper than he thought.

Summary

Namjoon can sense emotions.
Yoongi can manipulate them.
Namjoon hates how Yoongi's calm is what keeps him grounded.
Yoongi hates how Namjoon's powers complete his own.
They might take a bullet for each other, but that's only because they're partners. There's nothing else to it.
(Or, a superhero AU where BTS aren't a boy band but a group of superheroes put together by Bang PD, and Namgi are partners who hate each other. Until they realise that maybe, they don't.)

Summary

“Fighting a Lower Moon alone? Are you out of your damn mind?”
Giyu flinches at the whisper-shout, his exhaustion making him slow to process the sudden intensity. “I’m a Hashira,” he murmurs, his tone even, though the words come out softer than he intends, “I can handle it.”
“Clearly not!” Sanemi snaps back, his voice rising slightly before he reins it in, casting a glance toward the door as if to make sure no one heard, “You almost died, Giyu! You should never have gone on this mission alone, especially after Rengoku just—”
Sanemi cuts himself off abruptly, his jaw clenching as he turns his head away. His hands curl into tight fists at his sides, the knuckles pale. The unfinished sentence lingers in the air, heavy and suffocating.
~~~
OR: Giyu is always reckless on missions, getting himself hurt and throwing himself into unnecessary danger. He never thinks much of it—it’s not like anyone would care much if he did die. Sanemi decides to show him just how wrong he is.
