    Summary

    Given a second chance, Giyuu Tomioka walks a path he never imagined—one where every choice, every bond, could alter the future. By guiding Tanjiro, reconciling with Urokodaki, and seeking allies long before they were meant to be, he lays the first stones of a new tomorrow. It is both an ending and a beginning… the quiet start of a story yet to unfold.

    First part of my series, “Still Water Run Deep” 🫶

    Summary

    Giyuu finds himself conflicted in this very moment, wondering what in the timeline is at stake should he strike, because the annals of history are so easily altered that Sabito is standing next to him today (his own sword unsheathed and one of his hands tugging at Giyuu’s arms so hard his fingernails are digging divots into his skin.)
    He worries at his bottom lip, and registers the movement of the Lower Moon, who rudely has not waited for him to finish his rumination and was unleashing a demon blood art, whose exact skillset he does not remember but reacts to on instinct.
    Giyuu is struck by immense Deja Vu as he decapitates the demon once more.

    Tomioka Giyuu has no intention of becoming the Water Hashira again in this bright new world where Sabito is alive.

    Sabito takes in a deep breath. “WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT?!?!”

    But really, old habits don't seem to die (even when he already did).
    And why does the Upper Third remember his name in a world years before Giyuu('s reckless ward Tanjiro) ever gives it to him?

    Summary

    A few years ago, if you’d have told Vyncent he’d panic-booked an immediate flight to New Haven Airport from across the country, rushed through the city with his school bag and nothing else, and then called Dakota and begged to be picked up from the docks so he could get to Harttawa Island all for his ghostly best friend who’d panic-confessed his love, he’d probably look at you like you were completely insane and call for some Fauna Adventurers to take care of you.

    Summary

    Giyuu gets hit by a Demon´s blood demon art that compromises his thoughts and takes a few days/weeks to wear off. Coincidentally, Sanemi is also injured and in the butterfly estate at the time and wonders what the fuck is going on with the usually so stand-off-ish water pillar.

    Summary

    He stutters, surprised. There is someone gripping his shoulder, dragging on his movement. Whipping around, he raises his sword – a challenge to whichever insolent prick thought they could interrupt his training – before he stumbles, collecting himself.
    “Just what do you think you’re doing?

    In the aftermath of the Swordsmith Village Arc, Tokitou recovers at the Butterfly Mansion. He loathes his weakness, and feels that old fury build up inside him once more, leading to a vicious bout of training on a starless night. But if there's one thing Tanjirou can't stand, it's seeing someone he cares about hurt.

    In other words: The author loses their goddamn mind over two fictional characters as they finally figure out the depth of their feelings for each other.

    There are some mentions of vomiting blood, but they're a bit vague. Still, read at your own risk. Hopefully it's not too gross

    Summary

    Sanemi and Giyuu are on a mission together when a chance encounter with an unfortunate blood art renders the water hashira unconscious, forced to relive his worst memories. While he grapples with his feelings about the past, Sanemi has to figure out how to take care of the other hashira in the freezing weather while also dealing with his own pride and the genuine worry conflicting in his mind- not to mention the growing crush he's been wrestling with for a few months now. Perhaps this experience could make their relationship a bit less hostile.

    Or: Enmu could have done so much more with his blood art and I'm taking advantage of that fact to present you with some nice SaneGiyuu angst.

    AN: Alas, I wrote this decades ago in my youth and have yet to finish it / am no longer interested in this story so unfortunately it's not done. Just a warning before u read it, I'm terribly sorry I blame my adhd

    Summary

    The last time Obanai saw Mitsuri, she was dying.

    One would think, with majority of his senses still functioning and interacting with her almost daily, his mind would get with the fucking program and remember she was alive.

    --

    During the day, Obanai is with Mitsuri, who is happy and full of light. During the night, he loses her to blood and tears. The nightmares take their toll and the consequences begin to spill into the day. What kind of person is he, unable to keep control of his own mind? She might be better off staying away from him.

    Summary

    Giyuu turned twenty five... He’s been thinking about Sabito and Tsutako a lot recently.

    ---

    There has been a lot on Giyuu's mind recently, life, sacrifices, choices made by people he loved. It's created a whole big mess of feelings that threatens to distract him from his mission. He needs to stay focused, lives are on the line and the others are counting on him. Up the mountain and along the river they will go. He'll address what is weighing on him later.

    Going for a swim was not part of the plan.

    "Shinobu, slow down or something will happen. I am serious."
    "And I'm serious," Shinobu insists, "I'm fine"

    ---

    Shinobu has a lot on her plate. Running the Butterfly Estate, caring for her friends, learning and honing her medical skills. The responsibilities are great, the to-do list is long, her pen is missing in action, but that comes with the job. If everyone else could understand, that would be wonderful.

    (seriously, has anyone seen her pen?)

    Summary

    "How's he doing today?" He asked. Again, she grunted, and climbed up to sit on Tanjiro's cot.

    It was odd, perhaps just a result of the mutual understanding that comes with silence, but it seemed the longer he spent with Nezuko, the less of an enigma she'd become. Her hand was on Tanjiro's chest but her eyes were on him, shining. It was as if he could read her mind.

    I miss him.

    Giyuu nodded slowly. He knew the feeling well: missing a brother. All the more reason to cling to the ragged breaths that gasped in and out of Tanjiro's lungs.

    During Tanjiro's two-month coma after fighting Upper Six at Yoshiwara, Nezuko is lonely. Giyuu, beside himself with worry, finds himself an unexpected ally in the young demon. Throughout Tanjiro's recovery, Giyuu and Nezuko bond over loneliness, their mutual love of their brother, and hydrangeas.

    Summary

    Sanemi had always had nightmares. Mostly about his mom. Sometimes about his friends. Never about Genya. Because Genya was alive, and Sanemi had promised himself – promised himself – that Genya was the one who got to live. But then… Things never went the way that Sanemi meant them to. And Genya had different plans.
    --
    In the weeks after the final battle, Sanemi struggles to come to terms with his brother’s death, drowning in nightmares, his heart as broken as his body. Stuck with the Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka, at the Butterfly Mansion as they recover, Sanemi learns to navigate the fragile space between grief and healing and slowly learns that the happiness Genya wanted for him might not be as impossible as it once seemed.

    Summary

    It is a well-known fact that demons don’t retain their human memories, except under extraordinary circumstances. Humans, too, don’t retain many memories they have of being a demon—a fact Kamado Nezuko copes with as she meets Tomioka Giyuu for the first time.

    But like many things in her newly human life, she can’t really untangle how she’s meeting a man for the first time when he’s already saved her multiple times. And he’s just one of the scraps of memory that she is trying to weave together to make back up a life that is a coherent whole.

    Summary

    Within a year of knowing him, they had barely exchanged words and Giyuu could count with five fingers the amount of times they had a short conversation. But it wasn’t only because of Tokitou’s reserved and lost personality, Giyuu was no different to any other pillar.

    They don’t talk to each other, so imagine his surprise when he was interrupted in the middle of his training in the rain, by a drenched Tokitou standing in front of the water estate.

     

    Or, Giyuu lost a sister but life is uncertain so he gains a little brother instead.

    Summary

    He shrugged diminutively. “Let’s just say I was preoccupied,” he deflected.

    It was partially true. There was a reason he didn’t do casual missions with Giyuu often, as he’d previously explained. He found his partner…distracting, to say the least.

    Giyuu hummed before speaking up, fortunately changing the subject.

    “You’re going to have another scar,” he commented quietly, his eyes flicking from Sanemi’s jawline to the cloth that was now rapidly turning from white to red.

    Sanemi smirked. “I thought you liked my scars.”

    Giyuu looked up at him, his expression unchanged. “I do. I find them quite…cute,” he finished eventually.

    Sanemi scowled. “Cute? You find my scars cute?”

    Tanjiro nodded, seemingly expecting his answer. “Have you ever thought about love?”

    Giyuu’s chewing visibly slowed.

    He looked down at Nezuko, who was currently fiddling with his sandals from her spot on the ground. She looked up at him innocently, delivering a smile so warm it would have melted through his cold exterior if her older brother hadn't already. He flicked his eyes back up to meet the elder Kamado’s.

    “What’s this really about, Tanjiro?” he asked, tone laced with suspicion.

    Summary

    “Why?” Giyuu croaked out.

     

    Why did you help me? Why did you let me in, hold me, patch me up? Why did you give me a gentleness I’ve never seen before. And how- how am I supposed to live without it after?"

     

    or,

     

    On an unlucky snowy night, Giyuu gets badly injured. Tired, dizzy, and bleeding, he stumbles across none other than the wind hashira's estate- Sanemi Shinazugawa. Despite his apparent dislike for the water hashira, he was determined not to let him die. No other reason, just because of his moral duty...or so he thought.
