    Summary

    Giyuu's anger wasn't enough to do anything with, not anymore. He'd burned himself out at such a young age. All that was left was ash.

    Genya seemed like him. His anger was fear, a shield he used. It wasn't his core like his brother and the other hashira who had tried to help him.

    Maybe, just maybe, that would be enough for Giyuu to make a difference where they hadn't.

    Or: Genya becomes Giyuu's tsugoku. Sanemi does not approve.

    Summary

    The front of the estate finally comes into view, and there’s a striped dash across the engawa, before it stills to reveal the serpent hashira, Iguro Obanai.

     

    Shit.

     

    Both Shinazugawa and Obanai were here. Just his luck. He was about to be confronted by the two people that hated him the most, his day just couldn’t get any better.

    Summary

    Fuck, when had they become so close?

    As food is brought to their table, he watches Tomioka roll up Tokito’s sleeves. Since when did he care about anyone but himself? Why was the movement so natural? He was doting on Tokito like he was his mom or something. Other than rolling up Tokito’s absurdly baggy sleeves, he’s been periodically handing the kid tissues and adding more food to his plate. Sanemi even catches him wiping Tokito’s mouth! Who is this man?

     

    Or

    A series of strange and slightly improbable events results in Giyuu and Muichiro forming a tight bond. Somewhere along the way, Sanemi is pulled in, too.

    Summary

    When did the Water Estate start to feel like home?

    Not good enough. Not strong enough. Not bright enough.

    But why did they choose to stay?

    Why isn't he alone?

    ---------------

    Basically, Giyuu is really kind and can't just let these kids wander around without some supervision.

    Summary

    Kanzaburo was famous, or rather infamous, for being slower than most crows due to his age, yet he was very eager. One day he was particularly fast to send Tomioka Giyuu, the Water Hashira onto a mission.

    The mission was located at Mount Kumotori at a small village; allegedly lots of people have been going missing near that area. Perhaps it'd be a Lower Moon. No big deal for a Hashira like Tomioka, even if he was the worst one of all of them.

    Now something that was a challenge, even for the best of Hashira, was facing the demon king himself all alone.
