Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (Anime)+1

Sunlight from the Ashes

by DAsObiQuiet

It took Kamado Tanjiro a dozen loops to realize that saving his family meant becoming a demon. So he did it again, and again, and again, because he could never NOT save them, no matter what it does to him, how it changes him or what he's forced to do. But, unfortunately for Muzan, everyone, even the smiling and kind Tanjiro, has a breaking point... xXx Nezuko’s worry spiked and she hurried as quietly as she could after him in time to see him practically shove the front door to their home out of the way and stumble into the snow outside. In his sleeping clothes. “T-tanjiro?!” their mother asked from the other side of the room where she’d been building the fire to prepare their breakfast. He didn’t respond, not even closing the door behind him. Their mother looked over to Nezuko who met her worried gaze. “He had a bad dream,” she said softly. But something told her it was worse--so much worse--than that. xXx Now complete with Alternate ending!

The Angel of Death

by WeeBeeGalaxy

He was about to give up, maybe call into the void for her again despite the fact it would probably fall on deaf ears, when he heard a giggle from behind him. Immediately, his shoulders slumped in relief. She was fine. His wife was fine. Just trying to give him a heart attack.“You panic yourself far too much, my love, I just… needed to prepare myself in coming here.” Came Kristen’s familiar voice, causing Phil to close his eyes and smile before turning around to look at her. There was a slight hesitation when she spoke, but he didn’t worry too much about it.“Well, when my wife wants me to hurry so badly that she summoned me back from my travels halfway across the world and won’t even let me sleep, pardon myself for being-”Phil’s words came to a sudden halt in his mouth when he looked at her. Properly looked at her. The relieved smile on his face fell into one of shock. He was frozen where he stood for the moment.As for today, he was too busy staring at the two bundles she was holding carefully against her chest. orPhilza get's a surprise when he visits his wife, the Goddess of Death.

the heroes within us

by whenwordsflyoffthepage

On top of all this, Izuku’s eyes kept getting caught on red and white hair a few tables away, in direct view whenever he looked up from his food. Red and white hair that cast a boy’s face in shadow, that revealed the white of bandages peeking out beneath a sleeve whenever it had to be futilely brushed away by a hand, that was all alone at that table as if isolated from the rest of the world.“Midoriya-chan,” Tsuyu croaked across from him. He quickly dragged his eyes back to her. “Is something wrong?”“Wrong? Of course not!” He must have said it too quickly to be convincing, as Tsuyu glanced over her shoulder for a second before turning back and focusing her large eyes on him.“Have you had a chance to talk to Todoroki-chan after your fight in the Sports Festival?” -OR, the author just wanted to write tododeku’s achingly slow relationship development while sorta following canon

Vampires SMP

I'm the Cure

by Your_L0cal_Queer

So, now he had a plan. He'd run and run till he got to that abandoned town that he'd heard so many stories about, what was it -- called again? Oakhurst? -- and then he'd build a grave for Louis, far away from those awful people who he'd trusted only for them to twist the knife of betrayal into him over and over. He'd then mourn him for a few days before finally joining Louis. Simple enough, right? ִֶָ☾. Upon closer inspection, Legs notices that it's not a kid, but rather an incredibly malnourished man. The man had bandages all along his arms running under his shirt, they looked to be dirty. He was so thin and short he looked delicate, breakable. His long brown hair looked dirty, like it hadn't been washed in days. On his hands in spots the bandages don't cover there's a slight marbled nature to his skin, his palms rough and calloused from some kind of manual labor. OR What if Legundo was an evil vampire who still wants to fix Owen and Owen just wants to die.
