"So tell me, Aoi - tell me, why do you, a person who doesn't even want to lift a sword, can make a strong man like me feel sick and weak without you?" "You annoy me, kiss me when you're not supposed to and always steal food. But you broke my walls down and made me fall, real hard, in love with you too." Inosuke is a short-tempered young man who grew up in the mountains. He learned about affection and love through his two best friends, Tanjiro and Zenitsu. The women he cared for in his life are dead. Aoi survived the Final Selection, but she thinks of herself as weak and incapable to defeat demons. In turn, she becomes a helper at the Butterfly Mansion and is always attending to the sick and injured. As he spends more time in the Butterfly Mansion, waiting for his best friends to wake up, Inosuke realizes that he gets drawn to Aoi. How is that possible? They fight all the time. "What are you looking at?" Aoi growls. "I use my eyes to look at whatever I want!" Later, seeing Kanao getting together with Tanjiro and Nezuko falling in love with Zenitsu; sometimes Inosuke wonders if a strong man like him doesn't need a woman. He is wrong. He isn't immune to love. Warning: Slow-burn romance. I depict realistic circumstances related to the age of characters, historical period and their respective personalities.

*LORE HAS CHANGED A LOT! WILL GIVE YALL UPDATES IN FUTURE CHAPTERS* Summary: Espresso, the coffee mage, hated Madeleine, the knight commander, with every bit of his soul. To him, he was a self-centered, narcissistic moron who only cared about his fame. He was insufferable. The mage prayed he would never have to deal with Madeleine for as long as he lived. Although, fate works in strange ways. When he and Madeleine were transported to the Tropical Soda Islands on a mission to eliminate any threats to the locals, they were forced to work together. Espresso's nightmares come true. But as time went on, he discovered that the knight commander wasn't as bad as he seeme - - - - - Notices: • Expect updates at least once a week, it may take 2 weeks depending on how busy I am. • This is my AU.

An AU where Espresso was raised with the Cookies Of Darkness. Since he was merely a child, Espresso's one and only desire was to prove his worth to Dark Enchantress, his mother. He and his siblings were taught to despise the Vanilla Kingdom and its inhabitants, sparking an endless war between the light and the dark. Madeleine is a paladin of the Divines, the Vanilla Kingdom's knight commander and savior, and almost immediately he is intrigued by the coffee mage on the opposing side. He is convinced that good exists in Espresso's heart, along with the hopes that he'll join them. A violent circumstance leads to Espresso being captured and held within the castle walls of the Vanilla Kingdom with no magic and nobody to help him. But of course, this was all but a great opportunity for Madeleine to persuade the stubborn mage into leaving the Cookies of Darkness behind. Against his liking, Espresso had no other choice but to play along for now. All he had to do was keep up the charade and not get attached. Simple, right? ~ DISCLAIMER: Yes I am aware this is the most horribly written piece of cookie run fanfiction out there. This is pretty bad. And I am acknowledging that lmao. You wanna know why? A) My writing was not that great at all and hilariously cringe in 2022! And B) I didn't plan *anything* ! :D Not a single thing. So don't make the same mistake as me kids, *always* plan your stories no matter what. Because seriously, the amount of plot-holes in this bad boy is just laughable. - Seasorbet (May 2024) ~ **Content Warning!!** Some chapters may contain sensitive topics, please heed the warnings at the beginning of the chapters.
