Sanemi remembered everything. The weight of their past lives pressed heavily on his mind-their world of demons, of bloodshed, and the bond he and Obanai had shared as comrades, best friends, both demon slayers, Hashira. He could still feel the pain of their final moments, the regret. The faces of those they lost haunted him, the sorrow and tragedy more vivid than ever.
But in this life, demons didn't exist. This life was different, or so he told himself. And though the memories still burned, Sanemi resolved to bury them deep. The others didn't remember their pasts, not Obanai, not anyone. And Sanemi had no intention of telling them. This time, he would protect the people he loved, no matter what. What harm could come, after all?
(So basically an au where Sanemi remembers his past life, heavily featuring Obanai and Genya.)
It has a lot of blah blah blah at first.
You stumble into two situationships simultaneously. As in, two Hashira are all up in your business. There's not just attraction; there's this magnetic pull, this insane connection that you can't explain. And you're trying to push them away, "Look, I just want to murder demons, go away!" But these guys? They're not backing down. They've both made it abundantly clear: they aren't sharing. The level of possessiveness is... well, let's just say it's a whole other demon you didn't anticipate facing.
So, there you are, a multi-breathing, demon-slaying machine who just wants to get the job done, saddled with a teenage apprentice who looks up to you, and somehow tangled in a love triangle with two top-tier demon slayers who are basically playing a tug-of-war with you as the rope. And let's not forget, all the while, you've got the shadow of Doma looming in your past like a bad acid trip. It's like, you finally made it to the big leagues... and it's a whole new kind of insane. A good kind of insane... maybe? Yeah, this is gonna be one wild ride.
