After her parents die, Adelaine Scott and her three younger siblings are forced to go live with their abusive uncle. As each day passes, Lainey will do anything she can to protect her brothers and sister, even if it means putting herself in harm's way. But what she didn't count on was bumping into the sexy football player who seems to have a keen interest in her. Nathan O'Conner is the stereotypical popular boy. As star quarterback with a rich family, everyone wants to be his friend, but he only wants one girl. The shy, new girl that wants nothing to do with him. He feels protective over her, but doesn't know why; all he wants is for her to give him a chance. What happens when Adelaine's abuse gets worse and Nathan starts to notice? Will he be able to save her and her siblings, or will Lainey's complicated life tear their relationship apart? This story is fast paced and full of drama! It has teenagers that had to become adults too fast and shows the importance of family. The story contains some language and abuse but no sexual content. ___________________________________________________________________________ Update: The beginning of the story isn't my best work, but I promise it gets better. Bare with me and you will see how my writing style changes a bit during the book; I'm just too lazy to go back and rewrite the first couple chapters ;) ENJOY!

This is another GiyuxShinobu story from the 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba' universe. However, this is going to be an AU where all the slayers survive. To do this, I am going to make some major changes to the canon storyline, including adding a tenth hashira. Anyway, you know the drill: Demon Slayer:Kimetsu no Yaiba does not belong to me; it belongs to Koyoharu Gotouge. The cover is also property of another person.

{THIS IS MY FIRST STORY!! So its not as fancy decorated like others!!😭 but I will work on it as I make more chapters!!} and I deeply apologize if the characters do not act their canon personalities to me they are really unpredictable😓 This is also my own AU! So some things slightly might not be canon accurate!! Chapters may be short but I'm trying my best😞 ... As Giyu and Shinobu spent more time together, their connection developed into a comfortable camaraderie. Awkwardness faded, replaced by quiet conversations beneath the stars and lingering smiles. Giyu admired Shinobu's vibrant spirit and dedication, while she appreciated his calm demeanor and protective instincts. Their playful teasing filled the halls of the Demon Slayer Corps with laughter and warmth. Facing challenges together, they built trust and intimacy, ultimately acknowledging the deeper feelings that blossomed between them, drawing them closer as a couple. 💜

Will Giyu marry his love??? This is a copy of my own story but this has happy end as requested.

The blue-eyed boy, searching for a way to move forward, finds that path in the work of a Demon Slayer. Always on the sidelines, never anyone special, helping others out of a sense of obligation and routine, constantly remaining a background figure, forced to experience things he never wanted to experience. Over the years, he believes that every act of compassion, every call from within his soul that pushes him forward, is nothing more than something he has absorbed - nothing more than a sense of duty - and that his heart holds nothing but a wretched cold. Yet along this journey, it turns out that this cold can be driven away with the help of others and with his own. It turns out that even he can refuse to accept what this world has to offer, especially when it concerns others, and that this compassion can be his own - just like the anger and the love slowly forming within him. A story about fighting and reaching out, only for those efforts to be met with a wall, when you can never be sure what the next day will bring. A story about falling, but also about rising from the ashes when needed, about finding your own convictions and the will to fight, and the things and people worth fighting for. A story about a slayer who was convinced he was made of ice, and about the people who assured him that he was burning. And story about a complicated relationship with hurt butterfly, which is going to happen at some point. It's a slow burn... It's a story about a character but you can also with no problem act like the character is the reader with 3rd person narration since... oh well, you'll see. Updates every Friday
