    Summary

    "We Hashira are stronger than everyone else. We are the Pillars that support the Demon Slayers." - Tomioka Giyuu, "Tomioka Giyuu Gaiden: Chapter 2"

    As the Insect Pillar, Kochou Shinobu deals not only with being an esteemed Demon Slayer leader, but the foremost medical practitioner for the Corps as well as the caretaker of the Butterfly Girls. The deaths of her loved ones have defined her greatly, and she wields a blade that never wavers.

    That is, she thinks she does.

    Because in truth, pillars, even those of the Demon Slayer Corps, will waver whether they like it or not, and sometimes, they need support to keep themselves upright in the worst of times.

    Summary

    After a brutal mission on Mount Yukabe, Water Hashira Giyuu Tomioka is left gravely injured and stranded in the snow. Found and nursed back to health by Shinobu Kocho, he’s forced to confront not only his pain, but the loneliness he’s carried for years.

    Through shared silence, quiet care, and the trials that follow, the two Hashira begin to see beyond each other’s masks. Amid wisteria and morning light, they find something rare—a fragile bond born from healing, grief, and unspoken warmth.

    Summary

    “The problem with any form of time travel is clearly outlined in the journal. If you get sent back, the timeline supposedly splits and your mind is left in a fractured state on both ends.”

    Kanao feels her heart rate shoot up as her headache comes back full force. She gasps and turns around to face Shinobu. Her sister stares at her in shock at how abrupt she'd been, before she glares at her.

    “Oh for fu-please, I'm trying to help. Plus, you shouldn't be moving so quickly.”

    Or

    Kanao and Kiriya end up destroying a very important artifact and wind up back in the Taisho Era. What can go wrong?

    Summary

    Shinobu always felt like she was short on time.

    Time was running past her, demons were getting stronger, and more people were suffering and dying. So she had no choice but to pick up the pace. She had to pierce her enemies swiftly before they could kill her. She had to analyze poisons quicker than they could deteriorate and kill. She had to train her Tsugukos harder so they would have more time. It’s why she spent a year injecting herself with wisteria. To become the ultimate weapon against the demon that killed her sister, she would gladly sacrifice her time.

    And yet, in her last moments, as she felt coldness seep into her skin, her lungs, every vessel of blood in her veins, she wished she had more time.

    An AU where Shinobu gets more time.
