    Summary

    It's just two weak pillars supporting one another. What difference does it make if they get married?
    From the perspective of canon, not much. They are so low-key about the relationship that not even all the other Hashira know about it. Giyuu and Shinobu promised one another to prioritize their demon slaying missions, but that locus of priority can make it difficult to navigate their roles as spouses. What happens with their missions is of no real concern to the other, right? Maybe they both need to talk more, before they find bigger things to argue about than fictional baby names.

    This is the chronological version of my somewhat popular Tumblr-based AU, with doodles showing how this sort of lens through which to view canon either makes everything funnier or much more painful. The doodles will be posted here as relevant, but long-time followers of the AU have lots of new material to look forward to.

    Summary

    The newest Hashira was an oddity and a mystery. Only a few years older than Muichiro, but seemingly so much more a child. Loud and displeasing to the ear, crying and wailing constantly, Giyuu didn’t understand how a coward such as Agatsuma Zenitsu could have ever reached a rank such as theirs, particularly without even so much as a shred of evidence regarding his skill.

    It was one of the very few things he and the other Hashira distinctly agreed upon. The boy did not belong. He was unfit to be a slayer, a protector. The boy was a liability, and now, every day he would disappear, up into the mountains of the prefecture they were in, in the middle of winter with Demons supposedly about.

    In search of coal of all things.

    Summary

    Tanjiro was the oldest son. He was the one who inherited the hanafuda earrings. He did all the work, took all the responsibility. He was the talented one, the one who could change the world.

    Nezuko wasn't Tanjiro. She wasn't strong like he was. She wasn't enough, yet, she would have to be.

     

    (Or the role reversal au where Nezuko becomes a demon slayer and Tanjiro becomes a demon)

    Summary

    “We need to leave.” And it hurts, to say this, to realize that waiting for people to help is no longer an option, but they can't dwell on it now, not when they need to be fast.

    Giyuu swore to protect them, and he will. Even if it means leaving everything behind.

     

    (Shinobu is a little more violent, Giyuu a little less trusting, and the Demon Slayer Corps lose four members in one night. Just not in the usual way.)
