⚠️STORY WILL CONTAIN MAJOR SPOILERS ⚠️
Sanemi Shinazugawa never thought he'd be standing side by side with Giyu Tomioka, let alone fighting to keep the world from falling apart. But after the battle with Muzan, after the bloodshed and the bodies, they're the only Hashira left. The Demon Slayer Corps is in ruins, and Demon King Tanjiro is still out there-stronger, deadlier, and slipping further from the kind boy they once knew.
Survival should be their only priority. Find the last survivors, keep the demons at bay, and figure out a way to stop Tanjiro before he turns the world into a wasteland. But as the nights stretch longer and the weight of the past presses down, Sanemi starts to see Tomioka in a way he never has before.
And if they're going to make it through this, he might have to admit that, for the first time, he doesn't want to be alone.

Stay • Sanemi x Fem Reader
You're an old soul with your own bitter past, assigned to help the Wind Hashira recover from his injuries. But healing him is not going as planned, and both of you feel the intense push and pull of each other's presence. In the face of certain pain, how is it possible that you can still find pleasure? 🪶 He touches his forehead to mine, fingers stroking my cheek. "This is so fucked." He sighs. "We can't keep going." I search his downcast face, his eyes. "Shinazugawa-sama... what do you mean?" "I can't give you what you want... the life you'd want." He pulls his head back, looking me square in the eyes. "My life is killing demons. That's what I do. People who do what I do-they die." His jaw tenses. "If you get involved with me, one way or another-you will get hurt." I can sense how much he means these words. I look over at his arm, that's draped over his knee-the one I sutured a month ago, now with a long bright scar running down its length. "I already hurt, Shinazugawa-sama." I say quietly. "It's nothing new to me." 🪶 Sanemi x Fem Reader / Slow burn / Angst and fluff / Smut at the end / All 21 chapters done, posted by the Jan 13 full moon. 🌒🌔🌕Complete

this is a demon Tanjiro Kamado x Tomioka giyuu. Inspired by A_wild_GOOSE. "Tanjiro and his sister, nezuko, have a special connection to muzan, it seems.

Tanjiro and his sister went out to hunt one day and unluckily encountered Giyuu Tomioka, Shinobu kochou, and sanemi shinazugawa..." disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, nor do I own the kimetsu no yaiba anime or manga. the only thing that I own is the storyline and plot! you are free to make stories or really anything based on this fanfic, as long as you give some credit to meh :) ONGOING ❌ ON HIATUS/BREAK ❌ COMPLETED ✅ DISCONTINUED ❌Complete
