You were never meant to survive.
One night was all it took to destroy your world-your family slaughtered, your home drowned in blood, and your voice stolen by grief.
But fate had other plans.
In the snow, you met him-Kamado Tanjiro. A boy with gentle eyes, a fierce will, and a promise on his lips: "I'll protect you."
You travel together, relying on his kindness, his strength, his warmth...but the shadows of this world are merciless. When you begin to transform into the very thing you fear most, you're forced to walk a path between humanity and monstrosity.
Silent. Helpless. Haunted.
Yet through every battle, every loss, every fragile heartbeat-you are never alone. Tanjiro stands by you, not as a savior, but as someone who refuses to let you go.
From strangers in the snow, to lovers bound by fire and blood, your story will burn brighter than fate itself.

Amidst a violent snow storm up in the mountains, two demons were sent out to extinguish the last living relations to the sun breathers. The Kamados. "Oi stop messing around you woman obsessed freak!" "Come on don't be so up tight!" "Huh... what's this?" A small child appeared from behind a snow covered bush, a small note tied to his neck as his bright red eyes stared at them inquisitively. "Tanjiro Kamado... you don't say" **** "You are to infiltrate the demon slayer corps and gain their trust Tanjiro. I'll always be with you, don't forget that" the demon king stated, his tone surprisingly soft. "Yes father"Complete
Cold Flame | Demon Slayer x Male OC
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
