In the aftermath of the grueling battle against Muzan, Shinobu Kocho finds herself grappling with an uncertain future. Having always planned to sacrifice herself in the fight, she now struggles to find purpose in a world she never expected to see beyond the battlefield. Her bitterness and guilt haunt her as she navigates the pain of survival. Giyuu Tomioka, scarred in more ways than one, is determined to embrace life differently. Encouraged by his friends, he strives to be more open, more sociable, and to shed the stoic isolation that has defined him for so long. Amidst the newfound peace and quiet, the two demon slayers-so different yet so alike-begin to lean on one another. In the gentle moments of shared vulnerability and understanding, love blossoms. But just as they dare to hope for a future together, they must confront a harsh reality: fate may yet have other plans. As they navigate love, loss, and the weight of their pasts, Shinobu and Giyuu find themselves pushing against the tide of destiny. Can they find solace in each other before the currents pull them apart?

Giyuu lay dying on his 25th birthday recounting all the good times he spent with his friends before and after the final battle with the demon king and his servants. Yet, as he takes his last breaths and finally finds solace in the life he's lived, he is mysteriously transported back a whole 8 years in the past. Now faced with a second opportunity to correct his mistakes and save the lives of those he felt indebted to, what would he do? -Certain character ages may be changed for the sake of the story (specific birthdays will be explained later). -Manga spoilers (why would anyone read a fanfic about the end of the series if they didn't finish the story)

Unable to handle Giyuu's death Shinobu turns to the only thing that will reunite her with her forever lost lover, but in a cruel twist of fate she finds herself in a situation beyond her wildest dreams. Strange happenings and scientifically unexplainable events scramble her already shattered psyche as she picks up the pieces and is forced to confront her own demons, all the while thwarting Kibutsuji's more literal ones. -A somewhat [noncanon] sequel to my previous work (2nd Chances), please read that work or details in this one won't make sense or will be confusing (please, pinky promise it won't hurt you) -This takes place in a hypothetical scenario where things turn out differently for our young heroine and hero. -This, is, a, sequal.
