Summary
Tanjiro sucked in a surprised breath as a small, hoarse voice crept across his mind, like a whisper in his ear but even more private.
“What’s your name?” He breathed out, trying to be as quiet as possible.
I…don’t know.
“I’m sorry. I’m Kamado Tanjiro.”
Kamado…Tanjiro.
"Where are you?"
He turned to look into the dark, empty forest. In the deepest part of the darkness, a pair of eyes opened.
Tanjiro screamed.
---
On an evening in the Fall, when the small plants were just beginning to die, Tanjiro and his father venture into the forest to find a man hiding on their mountain.
Tanjiro finds more.

Summary
“Ugh, I thought they’d at least get together over the summer or something.” Zenitsu glared sourly across the gym at Genya and Tanjiro. “I love Tanjiro, I really do, but he’s proved that he’s absolutely incapable of scoring. We need to take matters into our own hands, here. For their own good, we need to help them score.”
Inosuke looked down at the basketball in his hands, then back across the gym.
He could help his lackeys score.
“HEY TENMA.”
Genya looked over just in time to take the basketball directly to the face.
--
The story of how Genya and Tanjiro get together, including (but not limited to): friend-on-friend violence, texting-based problem solving, a pottery cabinet, and, allegedly, scoring.
And all on a random Tuesday in September.

The old man tutted. “I’ll have you know it’s a very well-known, very real story, full of forbidden love, tragedy, sacrifice, all that good stuff.” He sat back, pipe smoke curling around his face. “Pour us some more tea, boy, and I’ll tell you the story of the charcoal burner and the demon.”
---
In the spring of 1998, three strangers meet at the peak of Mount Kumotori, and set in motion the righting of past wrongs, the healing of past hurts, and the wheels of fate itself.
Stories often have more truth to them than you think.
And truth is something worth telling.

Summary
Sanemi was staring at Tengen like he’d sprouted another head.
“…What was that?” Slowly, Sanemi looked at all of his coworkers, neck cracking unsettlingly. “Genya and Tanjiro have been…what now?”
The temperature in the room dropped about a thousand degrees.
Slowly, Tengen’s face stretched into a grin.
“Wait. Shinazugawa. Sanemi. Are you telling us you didn’t know?”

Summary
Genya hated Kamado Tanjiro. Hated his heroics, hated hearing about his accomplishments through the Demon Slayer Corps gossip mill, hated that he broke his fucking arm.
But now, stuck in a cave during a blizzard and forced to play woefully underprepared medic to Kamado Tanjiro himself, Genya might need to accept that he doesn't have everything figured out, just yet.
Demons, blizzards, hypothermia, and a single sleeping bag.
Fuck.

Summary
HJ doesn’t make LaVonte sign a contract when he turns him.
They’re on coke, because of course they’re on coke, and they’re also on the Golden Gate Bridge, miles and miles above rushing water. That wouldn’t mean anything to LaVonte, not yet. HJ just likes the sick feeling it gives him, knowing he can’t cross it. Likes that pushback. Something he can’t control.
He’s patient about it – so patient. Hundreds of years of patience. Eventually, humanity will carve out some new route, or dam upstream, and HJ will have this too.

Summary
Genya hugs his knees to his chest and rests his chin on them. The position makes him look much younger than he actually is. He’s no more than a scared kid, lost in the woods, homeless and orphaned. Sanemi wonders if he looked like this when he left him alone that day so many years ago. His broken heart can be read in his eye bags and his lost gaze, in the way he clenches his fists and in how he anxiously bites his lip. For a moment, Sanemi feels like no time has passed at all since they were kids.
Driven by a wave of nostalgia, Sanemi walks towards his brother.
