Bitter Sweet (Giyuu x Reader) by TomiokaLament

Y/N, a lower level demon slayer is caught in a battle with a lower moon. Your team struggled to keep pace, you lost the upper hand quickly. Just as all hope seemed lost the water pillar decapitated the demon. Expressionlessly, the water pillar looks to you. "Can you move?" You blankly stare back at the blue eyed pillar as he sheaths his sword. His presence is so intimidating, but strangely calm. You scan the surrounding area and search for any signs of movement from your fellow demon slayers, luckily a few survived the fight. "The kakushi will be arriving shortly, try not to move or your injuries might just kill you." His voice is smooth, but cold; you can't sense any emotion in his tone. Your body feels like lead and you can't move off the ground. Your vision grows blurry and you try to force your eyes to stay open. Just as soon as he arrived, he disappears into thin air. You hear footsteps fastly approaching from the distance. The ringing in your ears grows louder and the world starts turning black. With the last of your strength fading, you lose conciousness. Can you become a high ranking demon slayer, or will this defeat prevent you from moving up?

For centuries, the small village of Hikonoki Mura lived in quiet respect, known across the land for its timber of unmatched quality. Their devotion was rewarded when the shogun sent a wooden statue of a dragon carved from their own cedar, a symbol of trust and honor that bound the people and the empire together. The statue was small, yet it carried the weight of generations. That peace ended when Asura Mistabe, a rival lord driven by envy, hired a witch named Asika and her mercenaries to steal the statue. The attack left the village master dead, the guards slain, and its legacy shattered. Those who survived became ronin, warriors without a master, forced to carry the burden of restoring the honor of their fallen home. Nakasi Usunake, son of the master's protector, takes command of what remains of the old guard. Alongside him stands the hot-tempered fighter Asukima Naku, the scholar monk Asu Bante, and the steady craftsman Hunake Asibashi. Together they seek the stolen dragon statue and face the witch whose dark arts turn air, fire, and silence into weapons. The Dragon's Shadow is a tale of loyalty and sacrifice, where each battle is not only fought with steel but also with spirit. It is a story of a small village standing against greed and sorcery, and of a young leader who must learn that true honor is not given by title but forged by the courage to protect what cannot be replaced.

Expect the Unexpected~ by tomiokashinobu10

When the sun wept and the moon turned its face, a blade was born not of war, but of mourning. It sings only to silence, and strikes only when memory bleeds. The one who wore the sun could not lift it. The one who drowned in blood could not find it. The one who walks without a shadow... he may yet awaken it. Kagetsume sleeps beneath roots older than names. And when it opens its eye, demons shall have no refuge. Giyushino~ None of the characters belong to me, images also don't....you know the drill~

◂☆❝A heart of wisteria❞☆▸ |Giyuu angst| by IdkDontMindMe91

Peace and tranquility. Most all humans wish for a life filled to the brim with it. Giyuu was no exception to that. He, much like any other people, had only ever wanted to live a comfortable life. One without hardship, and one without illness. Most people never thought to wish on the second. Giyuu, however, has suffered dearly due to both physical illness, and mental. He often times found himself wandering around at night, not heading anywhere specific. His mind is awfully foggy at these times, and so he will often feel disoriented in a way; he wasn't thinking about where he was, and nor did he care.. The cover art isn't mine! Disclaimer: none of these characters belong to me, they belong to the creator of kny itself. TW: This story contains strong language, self harm, mentions of self harm, death, gore, mentions of suicide, and suicide itself. Why does everyone keep adding my book to sanegiyuu and/or sabigiyuu reading lists..? 😭 Disclaimer, this is an old book. There is a version of it that is going to be the rewrite, and many scenes have been added and removed. If you are looking for genuinely legible writing, I would transfer to the rewrite.

World's Shadow: Beneath the Reflection by Secretive_Writer5545

In a world where shadows speak louder than truth, three lives walk the edge of a fragile illusion. Naruto, the relentless hand of Leaf Village's hidden will; Sasuke, the wandering rebel who seeks freedom beyond blood and duty; and Sakura, the smiling blade dancing on the line between mercy and madness. Bound by fate, scarred by duty, each of them carries pieces of a truth long buried beneath history and power. When fragments of forgotten worlds resurface-ancient sigils, faraway lands, and echoes of an unspeakable void stitched beneath reality-the quiet machinery of the Shinobi Nations begins to crack. Beneath the reflection of their shinobi lives lies a far older design, one that could unravel not only their identities, but the entire fabric of their world. In the shadows behind the reflection, truth is a weapon-and those who seek it may never return the same. Some truths were never meant to be seen. Some reflections hide the abyss beneath.

The Sakura- Japanese Anime- Chapter one-page:9to 14- the continue of pervious by studio_hr

🌸 Story Description (Continued Chapter - The Sakura): In the silent ruins of war, a wounded child begins to remember. Sakura, still trembling from the loss of her family, clings to a single thread of hope - a headband that once belonged to her father. That night, as whispers of pain echo through the infirmary, an old soldier speaks of the Northern Forest - a place where shadows breathe and the forgotten commander still watches over the lost. While others call him mad, Sakura listens. Something inside her stirs - something fierce, something unbroken. For the first time since the fire took everything, she feels a voice within her heart: "Go." She is only a child, but the fire inside her is older than fear itself. And so begins the path of the girl who will one day walk through the living forest - not as a victim of war, but as a bearer of its truth. 🌸

Kobayashi: Nature of Spirits by Potiguaya

This is the story of Kobayashi Kōsuke, a young ronin wandering about southern Japan during the edo period. Time on these lands teaches harsh lessons and threatens his survival, willpower and beliefs about his family and those he comes across during his travels. There will likely be historical inaccuracies. Bear with me, the writing is not intended to be taken too seriously.

In the winter of 1274, Tsushima burned. Samurai Tsukihiro stood knee-deep in the blood of invaders, his blade trembling as the screams of his dying sister, Fuyu, echoed across the wind. That moment shattered his soul - and when a man named Muzan found him, Tsukihiro was reborn as something far worse than a man. Now known only as Shikoku, the Hidden Moon, he has walked nearly seven centuries as a weapon of darkness - a myth whispered by demons and slayers alike. But even monsters remember. Haunted by the ghost of his sister and the warrior's code he once lived by, Shikoku begins to turn his blade against the one who forged him. As the Demon Slayer Corps prepares for its final war, allies and enemies alike will learn the truth: that even the darkest shadow may yet yearn for the dawn. And at the end of his bloodstained road, Shikoku seeks only one thing - to see the sunrise once more, not as a monster, but as a brother.
