    Summary

    Living is an unrelenting, exhausting thing. Defeat weighs like a blanket over already heavy shoulders and the distractions of the mundane do not ease the weight of sins, but there is peace in welcomed company and the promise of understanding brings respite in such a wary heart.

    This will not heal him, no, but perhaps it's alright to let himself be happy, even if just for a moment.

    Summary

    'Because no one bothered to tell you about the piano before, you get the sense you’re not supposed to know about the piano, like a committee somewhere decided that the saxophone player is not allowed to touch the piano. Now that you know it’s real, you pace the halls with your eyes closed and your head cocked out like a roadrunner, trying to find the source of the noise and feeling insane.'

    Midvalley tunes Knives’ piano (not a euphemism).

    Summary

    Nicholas D. Wolfwood just barely survived his intended death, though he's never properly recovered. Millions Knives is making the best of being stuck in a farmhouse-turned-orphanage with a frankly appalling number of human children by getting really into gardening. Everyone is slowly settling in and doing their best. Or something close to their best.
    Hope'll set your eyes agleam
    Like four feet dangling in the stream
    The kingdom of God, it's a pressure machine
    Every step, gotta keep it clean

    Summary

    Tanjiro dropped to his knees and bowed until his head touched the ground. "Thank you, Doctor!" he cried. "Thank you so much for helping our family! I swear, as the eldest son, I will work to pay off any medical debts for as long as it takes! Even if it takes my whole life, I'll do it gladly! Thank you!"

    To his surprise, the doctor didn't respond, and Tanjiro raised his head. Yoriichi's cheeks were flushed slightly, and he was holding his hands up in an anxious protest. "There is no debt to pay," he insisted in a voice that was as soft as his scent. "You owe me nothing."

     

    A slayer of old is reincarnated. Haunted by memories that he doesn't understand of blood and regret, he vows never to hold a blade and takes up the mantle of a healer instead.

    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.
