||A surprising little pup||

Hi there dears, peahen mom is back and I have a little silly yet cute thread to share. This is for my friend but the idea involves one of her Au’s for it. So, Lets get on with it.

~~Drabble short summary~~

It was a normal day in NYC and everything was fine but that also changes when a sudden new face appears. It was a little girl who got taken to the past but got caught in a fight among the fractions against some bad demons. Before the little girl got hurt, she was saved and found by the DBT and cursed vixens. Now the teams were wondering who was this little girl and where did she come from? Well, read to find out.

((Their will be errors and grammar mistakes but as I stated as always, this is written for fun. So I hope you like it.))

‘W..where am I?’ a young little girl was hiding in a spot in a building where she was seeing scary people or demons fighting around the area of New York City. AT first, the little girl was at home with her parents as they were seeing her playing. However, one of her friends did something and somehow, she ended up here. She had two demons with her but they have protected her from time to time but they were keeping the little girl safe. However, they were tired after having to regain some energy from saving her from a few that wanted to eat her.

“I have to find mama and papa. They should be back home right? But this isn’t my home...where am I?” she asked scared to almost cry but she heard a explosion to make her yelp hiding again to hug a jackal plush. Though her parents told her to stay brave. She looks out seeing the scary monsters gone so it told her she can move on. She hurries off to try and finding a way out before she heard growling seeing one of the monsters!

“U..Uh oh..” Quickly, she runs to see the monsters chasing her! She was scared but she was tired so she couldn’t do anything to keep them at bay. She kept running through this building that leads to the outside where she saw New York City. It was the afternoon but she was shaking now knowing she was not back home. She was somewhere else. Maybe the past?

“Was this what Kat was saying?” she mutters remembering what her friend told her or heard from her parents say but as she was wondering, she keeps running away from the monsters till she was surrounded by them. She stops to be trapped in the middle hugging her jackal plush crying. “St..stay back. Please leave me alone.” she said crying now but the demons didn’t have it. They were going closer to the little girl as they tried to jump her! She gasped to panic about to do something till......

A strong blast of blue flames came forth to hit the demons away from the little girl as she blinks to look. She saw the demons gone but saw the flames there. “H..Huh?” Then she saw someone standing in front of her to a young adult female with black hair but she was holding a familiar sword.

“Got here just in time. You okay kid?” she asked but the little girl slowly nods before seeing black flames hitting the demons as they yelp backing up when another female lands but she was showing black flames in the palm of her hands.

“Yo Ink! The others are taking care of the enemy on the other side! You think we should hurry and take these things out!?” Jinx said but she saw Ink laugh to grip her sword. “Yeah, lets do it!” the two charge at the demons as they fight them. The little girl blinks to look but was confused.

‘N..No way..is that..’ before finishing someone carefully picks up the little girl to show another young woman but the little girl’s own eyes widen to see two people. One had black hair but it was longer, her silver eyes were gentle. She had silver demonic markings on her arm but she was looking worried to the little girl.

“Are you okay?” she asked but the little girl was speechless.

“Melinda!” she looks back seeing another young male show up but he had curly afro hair, yellow golden eyes but he was wearing classic clothes while looking to help Melinda with the little girl. “Is she alright?”

“She’s alright. She must be spooked right now...don’t worry little one, we can get you out of here.” she said but the little girl blinks but nods slowly. The two help the little one out while seeing their teammembers taking out the rouge demons that was causing chaos all over in this section. Even seeing Breezy and Rust punching a few back to her blasting them with a ice wind freezing them.

Navarro and Echo was bombing a few bigger ones resulting in the explosions but it’s just crazy now. Though, the little girl watches all this still shocked but relaxed in the arms of Melinda.

‘I wonder.....are they....no way. I remember Kat said something about the past but...am I.....’

~~Hours later to Evening~~

The DBT and the cursed vixens were at Wyckoff right now but Ophelia was just done treating the little girl who was sitting on a chair while she was being checked on. The others were talking about what happened while Melinda and Jaron wanted to be sure the kid was okay.

“Well?” she heard Melinda asked to see Ophelia nod.

“She’s alright. She’s not bruised or hurt. Maybe a little startled but she’s alright.” she said to Melinda sighing in relief. That was good the little girl was safe but Jaron looks to her as he sees her hugging her jackal plush.

“We are happy to have found you. We thought everyone evacuated the area but guess not. Though, good thing we found you before it got too dangerous.” Breezy said with Rust nodding his head.

“Yeah, we didn’t expect the rouge demons to get that dangerous over time. Guess now they have.” he said.

“Even so, we are happy to have found someone..but...why were you there all by yourself? Where are your parents?” Jaron asked but the little girl looks quiet.

“I....I don’t know. They were here but then..they disappeared. I don’t know where I am..” she said but Jaron looked to smile petting her head. “Well, don’t worry, I’m sure we will help you find them.” he said.

“T..thank you.” she said softly.

“Of course. Now, are you hungry? I know you must be after all that. I have a plate for you so you can eat.” he said but the little girl blinks to look up showing her face. “R..really? Thank you....” she looked really adorable but looking closer, Jaron and Melinda noticed something.

This little girl had med long black hair but with some curls, she had a cute small nose, med dark skin but what caught the two was her eyes. They were a mix of golden orange like color and silver to have a light almond color that looked just like....

“Well, lets get you something to eat!” breezy smiled to see the little girl nod, hopping down to follow her to leave Melinda and Jaron silent. This little girl..However, that was for another time. Everyone was seeing the kid now sitting down but some of the girls find her really adorable and cute!!! She blushed from the comments but only sees Ophelia setting a plate down for her as she blinks to her eyes sparkling.

“Here you go, hope you like it.” Jaron said to her as the little girl nods to look at him.

“Thank you again! This looks really good. It’s just like my papa’s.” she smiled to say her thanks but sets the plushie down before carefully beginning to eat. As soon as she did, her eyes widen to blush, smiling from the taste to eat. Everyone else begins eating while the cursed vixens were invited to stay for dinner.

“So what do we do with the kid? I mean, if her parents are somewhere they have to be looking for her.” Navarro said but seeing the others thinking and agreeing.

“True, maybe Fosh and Mouse can find them. They have to be around here somewhere.” Echo said.

“Well, maybe we can after a while. They should be close.” Vivi said drinking some water.

“Is that true little one? Are your parents near by?” Maggie asked but the little girl shook her head.

“N..not around here. I....it’s hard to explain. I was with my parents but....I don’t recognize this place.” she said holding her fork. “I think papa say this was..uhhh...New York City?” she said seeing everyone look to her.

“Well, that’s true. This is new york. Maybe your parents are looking for you somewhere. We can help you find them!” Jinx said to her.

“I..I hope so. I don’t wanna worry my parents o..or my friends. They are w..worried and I don’t wanna worry them.” she said looking down but she only keeps eating now feeling sad and worried.

“Now now, I’m sure we will find your parents..” Melinda said to her. She looks to Melinda but nods showing her eyes again but Melinda pets her head while she was smiling. Her touch was nice that she felt happy.

“By the way, we never got your name or are you from around here?” she heard Mouse asked.

“..I don’t know...I remember coming here with my parents..but.....that’s all I know but my papa told me to always be careful and stuff if I got lost. I even have my plushie daddy gave me.” she shows the jackal plush by her that Jaron and Melinda saw it.

“Awwww, it’s cute. They gave you this?” Melinda asked.

“Yes. My papa made it for me......I do have my other two friends but they were tired after protecting me from the scary monsters.” she said.

“Hmm? Your two friends? Were they helping you?” Ink asked.

“Uh huh. Jet and Jin were protecting me. See?” she looks to the side before the DBT and the cursed Vixens saw something show up by the little girl that made everyone gasp. A silver lung dragon was sleeping on a jackal that was resting.

“HOLY-” Echo and Navarro was shocked seeing this but they saw Melinda and Jaron more shocked.

“Hold up, are those..”

The little girl saw but sees the jackal yawn but she hops down to pet him. “You alright Jet?” she said seeing the Jackal look to lick the little girl’s cheek who giggled. “Huh? Oh yeah their demons!” she said smiling.

“A..a...are you guys s..s..seeing this?” Breezy said seeing everyone nod slowly.

“Wait.....if they are demons then...does that make you..” Mouse started to say seeing the little girl look to nod.

“Y..Yeah, I’m a demon myself or I’m born as a demon....just like my mama and papa!” She looks to lift her right arm up showing silver tribe marks on her arm of a demonic lung dragon pattern but she saw two more jackals show up. One female and another male. They were wagging their tails happily seeing the girl safe as they lick her. She giggled laughing.

“Guys quit it! that tickles!” she giggle hugging them. Now the DBT and the Cursed vixens were shocked and speechless. Who was this little girl!?!?

“Ummmmm......dear? We don’t know how to ask but..what’s your name?” Vivi asked to see the little girl blink to sit up but see the plush get brought to her as the jackals help her stand.

“My name? Oh, it’s Abigail Layla Jackal!” She said with a smile but everyone was shocked. But Melinda and Jaron was more shocked!!!!

“....”

“EEEHHHH!!?!?!?”

“You...wait, that’s your name? Then....w..who are your parents?” Rust said as Abigail blinks.

“Uhhhh my parents are the king and queen from the demon world. My papa’s name is Lyulis “Jaron” Jackal but many call him Jaron. And my mama is Melinda Brooks! They are from New York City but they were turned into demons but sent back home to rule or take over this human world with my friends and the other rulers. They rule the left side of the human world with grandparents Lyilus and Yen-Lo-Wang. They are always helping me out if my mama and papa are not around.” she said.

“......”

“T..then y..you.....w..we......” Melinda started to say but her face was red that she was speechless.

“......” Jaron had no words but he was just as speechless. The two see Abigail happily petting the three jackal familiars as they were happily wagging their tails.

“Well, at least you two were right about Jaron and Melinda getting married. Geez, that’s something.” Breezy said seeing Rust and Navarro speechless.

“Wait, when you mean others....do you mean..”

“Yeah, the others as some of you also got uhhh married too. Something about the demons doing the same thing. You all went back to the demon world to learn more about taking over this one and you rule it now but in your own way. That and my friends or their kids we play but we also are working on your demon powers.” she said smiling. The others were shocked even more but said nothing.

Then some got married or had a arranged marriage and even had some kids!?! Yeah the DBT and the cursed Vixens were shocked but wonders but that’s was another time.

“Wow, it must be something in the future if that’s possible but does this mean we all gotten more powerful then!?” Ink said with eyes sparkling that some sweatdrops hearing that.

Abigail looks but nods to answer her. “YES!” Ink cheers but Navarro sighed. Well, this is something. This little girl was the other two’s kid. No way!

“Hold on, if your really Jaron and Melinda’s kid? Does this mean you have their demonic blood or abilities too?” Echo asked seeing Abigail nod.

“I..I do. I have papa’s ability..” She looks to show her eyes changing from almond to a golden color as a mist shows around her and from her mouth. Just like Jaron!!! She calms down to her eyes changing back. “And I have mama’s ablities too!” They saw silver demon aura around her as she was making some things float just like Melinda. “I even have her silver f..flames too.” she held her hands showing a few to make them disappear.

“.......”

‘Yep, that’s their kid alright..’ the others said in their heads but Jaron and Melinda were still speechless.  But the other thought was how to find her parents?? Before long, a silver portal or a mirror shows up as the other two fractions backs up seeing it forming but it didn’t damage anything as it appears in front of Abigail. The DBT and Cursed Vixens watched in shock as Melinda and Jaron covered their eyes before lowering their arms.

And then..

“Abigail??? Abigail??? Is that you??”

She blinks to hear a familiar voice to lower her little arm to see a woman there who was glowing silver but she looks to see. Abigail knew who it was. “MAMA!!” She stood up happy while seeing the portal opening more. The others saw a older version or adult version of Melinda. She still looked like herself but her demon self was stronger now. Though, aging was slow for demons so that explains a lot.

“Abi!!! Jaron! I found Abigail!” she said seeing another rush over to show a older Jaron who was happy but relieved to see the little one safe. “Abi!”

“Papa!!” she was happy to smile when the others was shocked seeing the other side. It looked like New york but it seems to be the demon world and the real world combined as one. The three jackals stood up to bark but the portal kept open while they rush through but Abigail felt the aura to see her parents. Even Melinda and Jaron was shocked. That was them in the future? Or a possible future. Abigail happily grabbed her plush but was ready to come back but stops to look back at the younger Jaron and Melinda to rush and hug them tight.

“Bye younger papa and mama! Thank you so much for helping me and the others too!!” she giggled to turn and head to the portal to jump through but the older Jaron catches her in his arms while she hugs him back. The others then saw other little kids seeing this. Some noticed a few even one that was having a white snake and a purple viper on her shoulders as the little ones were happy to see Abigail safe.

The older Melinda was happy to see her daughter safe but looks seeing the younger versions of themselves to gentle smile.

“Thank you so much for finding her. We been worried and didn’t know she was teleported to the past.” she said looking at the younger selves.

“Again, it was Jinx’s fault! I told her not to touch the machine!” a older teenager Echo shouted in the background holding a wrench but she sighed to look at them. “Even if you know she tends to touch anything even Ink too?” she said seeing Ink waving to smile.

“My bad! X3″

“...........*sighs*”

“Anyway, thank you all for finding and saving her. We hope she was not much trouble?” Older Melinda asked seeing them shaking their heads no in a speechless expression.

“I see. Well, We are both happy that you helped find her..thank you so much..” she smiled but Breezy looks to ask.

“Hold on! Then if your the older versions of Jaron and Melinda t.then the kids are..” she saw a little girl but she was laughing while waving but she was wearing a t-shirt with a gear bracelet but a cute little charm.

“Lets just say you will know but the future has many paths for one to know of. But I’ll let you figure it out on your own. I will say this.....the first date I had with Jaron...It was a beautiful night. I’ll always remember it. Even if we were shy through it all. But that’s a secret.” she smiled as everyone looked to Jaron and Melinda who was still speechless right now.

“Even so, we better go. Thank you again all of you.” With a smile, the older Melinda’s silver flame mirror started to dissappear with Abigail waving bye to them. A few did wave back till the portal was gone leaving them all there in the living room silent.

“....I knew Jaron and Melinda would get married! I told ya!” Rust said but the others sighed. But how did Jaron and Melinda feel about this?

“Uhhhh Jaron? Melinda? Are you two okay?” Ophelia said touching their shoulders. The only answer was both of them passing out to fall on the floor at the same time flushed red.

“Guys!?!?” everyone looks to see the two’s eyes dizzy and swirly right now from everything.

“.....@_@.....”

“......@_@.......”

“Huh, they passed out..” Jinx asked seeing the dizzy swirly eyes.

“Well, at least we are curious of this! They had a cute little kid!! She was precious too!!!!” Jinx giggled but the other girls looks to her. “What?”

“Uhhh, lets just help them to the couch to lay them down..” Vivi said but she and the others helped Jaron and Melinda rest on the couch but they knew the two were shocked at the thought. They’ll be okay after a while.

~~Meanwhile~~

“I can’t believe we saw our younger selves! Seems we haven’t changed have we?” Melinda asked seeing Abigail hugged by the other kids from the others that was worried but she saw the fractions reacting to the machine and how it really worked.

“But this should be a lesson though; Don’t let Jinx touch anything!” Echo shouted glaring at Jinx who was giggling holding her hands up smiling.

“Again, my bad!”

“...Your seriously dumb you know that??” she growls but the others sighed to laugh. Well, all’s well that ends well. But at least Abi was back home safe. But this only means a possible future for everyone but that’s for another story to tell.

[starry-bi-sky]

Who is the more well-adjusted twin; Damian, or Danyal? Why, it's Damian, of course!

And I have an explanation for this! But first I wanna preface this that this is just me like, rambling about this thought I have and it's not an attack on the trope as a whole. I love the Danyal Al Ghul au which is why i'm so deeply passionate about it, because I think it has a lot of potential to be explored. It's no secret that I've mentioned before that I think Danny's psychological development tends to get overlooked and underutilized in DAG aus, and the impact that growing up in an assassin league often goes ignored. This is just me further expanding on that.

Now lets set the stage! This is specifically for Danny who is adopted by the Fentons later down in life. Lets go twin au. At 10 years old, Damian goes to the Wayne Family, Danny is adopted by the Fentons (regardless of their affiliation with the League). By 14 years old, who ends up the better adjusted, more socially aware, spiritually in-tune with themselves, sibling? Why, Damian is! Why is that?

Because he has the actual support he needs compared to Danny. And I'm not talking about good or bad parents Fentons, because either way my opinion doesn't change. Damian would end up the better off twin, because, frankly, his family knows his background. They know he grew up in the League, they know what the League's teachings are, and they know he's a born and raised assassin. Knowing this, they can then help tackle and dismantle the teachings and lessons he has been given and ingrained into by the League. They may be a dysfunctional family, but they're functional enough to at least actively help deprogram all of the League's teachings that have been ingrained in Damian throughout his childhood.

Can't say the same for Danny.

Lets say Fentons here don't know his background -- and even if they do, the results may just stay the same if they play their cards wrong, -- Danny's now just been thrown into the deep end of a pool and is essentially being told sink or swim. Regardless of how he got there -- undercover, faked death, etc -- he has no proper support. He knows the League is meant to be secret, he's not gonna speak on it for various reasons. Whether it be some still lingering loyalty, fear of harm, or whatever. Whatever the reason is, he does not have a proper support system in the Fentons, no matter how nice they are. They can only tackle the surface level stuff and whatever Danny allows them to see -- if Danny ever lets them see it at all. For what do assassins do when they don't want to be caught? They hide. Sometimes in plain sight.

"But Jazz--" Jazz is a child. She is 2 years older than Danyal and no better at giving him a proper support system than the two adult Fenton parents, even with parentification. We don't know when she got into psychology or how long she'd been studying it by the time Danny's 14. We just know she's really into it. Even then, Jazz is not a licensed or reliable therapist, or even an experienced or implied good therapist, and should not be used as one either. It's a disservice to her character to reduce her down to 'supporting female emotional crutch'. Besides, therapy only works on people who want to get better. Danny, who'd be hiding who he really is, has very little incentive to want to, or to even think something is wrong with his way of thinking, even with exposure to the outside world.

When people's beliefs are outright challenged, they tend to double down on them, and Jazz canonically has a habit of psychoanalyzing her family and declaring what she thinks is the problem -- regardless of whether or not she's right about it. Jazz would get into psychology, try and psychoanalyze Danny, and all it would do is cause him to clam up, shut into himself further, and throw up even more walls so that she can't figure out that he has been lying this whole time. It would do more harm than good, and would actively hinder any progress he'd make in trying to open up to them. Roads and good intentions and all that.

That being said, I think Danny's development and dismantling of the League's teachings would be slower than Damian's. Much slower. Because he would be the one having to pick apart everything and figure out what is right, what is wrong, what he wants to keep, and what he wants to toss. Everything he unlearns would be stuff he has to unlearn himself. If he even gets to that point at all -- depending on his experiences, he very well could not change at all, or change very little. The League acts as a purge for humanity, meant to reign in their hubris and retain balance, they just also happen to be assassins for hire. Danny's time spent in Amity Park could as well strengthen his belief in their teachings just as much as it could weaken it, especially if it goes as canon and he gets bullied.

Regardless, being tossed to a civilian family as someone who is very much not a civilian, without any support, would be actively detrimental to Danny's overall mental health and development. Especially to strangers like the Fentons. Damian was closed off and standoffish even with blood family, and it took him time to open up to them -- Danny, with the Fentons, would be even more so. He doesn't know them, he doesn't trust them, he has no rhyme or reason to open up to them, and since the Fentons don't actually know him, they can't help him the way he needs. Once "Danny Fenton" is made, he has even less reason to open up. So long as Danyal allows it, they will only ever know Danny, and they'll never know Danyal.

TL:DR the Fentons aren't the better family option just because they're civilians, and actually that makes them the worser option between the two because they can't give Danny the proper support he needs. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

AUtober Day 8!— Fairytale

A royal au in which Tanjirou is the heir to the throne of the Sun Kingdom and Kanao is his guard (and there’s definitely nothing going on in between them *winks*). And they still need to defeat Muzan.

Basically the Sun Kingdom was formed to defeat Muzan and protect its inhabitants from demons, so Tanjirou uses sun breathing in this au. The Demon Slayer Corps is still around, Giyuu is goated, and there’s unrest in the neighboring kingdom, the Moon Kingdom!

Fun Fact about this au is that it’s actually complete (and somewhat canon compliant ) so I’ll definitely post more about it! It’s one of my favorite aus and there’s a lot of good stuff in it!

“So your name is?

“Michael Morningstar.”

“Hmm. You share the same last name as our king.”

“Indeed.”

“You also look very alike.”

“Mhm.”

“You even have six wings.”

“Yes. I do in fact have six wings.”

“You’re also a fallen angel.”

“I am.”

“Huh. How interesting.” *examines closer* “you’re also very short.”

“Unfortunately.”

“Circles on cheeks.”

“Yes. They’re very round.”

Slides finger on the side of his face making him wince slightly uncomfortable, “very pale skin too.”

“Being made of light does that to you.”

“No nose.”

“Slits to be in fact.”

The doctor breathes heavily while placing his hands on hips, “I’ve gotten to the conclusion that you’re a perfect doppelgänger of his majesty!”

Michael blinks unfazed by this conclusion.

Lucifer burst through the door, “so how’s my brother, doc?”

“I was just making my analysis, I was about to receipt him a beach tan, oh, and I was also pointing out how many similarities he shares with you that I could almost say you two are family.”

Lucifer and Michael blink twice.

“Nooo, really? My brother the archangel Michael the bitch that casted me to hell be related to me?? Who would’ve thought that?” Lucifer annoyingly rolled his eyes with sarcasm, “soo? Is he sick or not.”

“Well. It doesn’t seem he has any injuries or carrying any illnesses, mostly signs of exhaustion due to the impact of the fall. Aside from that, he’s fine. Just requires some rest and a serious amount of tan sprayer.”

Lucifer scratches his scalp anxious and mostly frustrated, “that doesn’t explain why he fell!” Lucifer then turns to look at Michael, “are you sure you don’t remember shit about what happened before you fell?? Like anything bad, anything sinful??”

Michael denies with his head.

[colourstreakgryffin]

heyyy, btw i hope you liked the story I wrote for you<33

can you write Tanjiro x fem reader for a royal au where Tanjiro is in charge of testing all food and drinks for the royal family to make sure it’s not poisoned by sniffing it? like maybe one day the chef just brings out the food and tanjiro doesn’t get to test it and it turns out the chef put something like cyanide in the reader’s tea or something like that and Tanjiro like runs in and quickly takes the tea from her before she can drink it.

Oooh! I really like the Royal AU aspect, it’s so smart! I’ve honestly been a roll with Tanjiro too and I’m all for it~! I love this angel of sunshine so much!

Kamado Tanjiro- Wait, Your Majesty

“My princess~!” Tanjiro, the Royal Poison Detector bowed politely as you giggled at his adorable, optimistic voice and passed him with a unwanted heavy heart. You didn’t want him to have to wait outside, you wanted him to come inside and eat with you

His job, at the castle of the royals, was to smell the supplies of foods and drinks shipped over from other kingdoms and from the kingdom’s own markets for any trance of deadly laces. You, alongside your parents, highly valued him and his incredible sense of smell, he was such a high position for something as simple as smelling food for poison, and it was why he got such a hefty check

He constantly protects your lives, from disease and from assassins with poison. Anything rotten or foul-smelling, the servants took Tanjiro’s word and immediately threw the food out. No matter how much it took to make it nor how safe it seemed

The King, your father, was truly thankful to Tanjiro over and over, for constantly protecting the lives of his beloved family and he was willingly to keep up his payment to the young man. He knew well that Tanjiro doesn’t lie, it’s impossible for such a loveable character to be twisted and lie, and the King even tested Tanjiro before he was hired as a precaution, the experiment was such a success that none of the royals doubted Tanjiro’s ability

Tanjiro wholeheartedly cared for the health and safety of his kingdom’s royalty, as he cared for the people like him’s health and safety. Tanjiro doesn’t really remember how he managed to land this role but he is always happy to be of service. On a cool but dazzling night, Tanjiro alongside a pair of highly-trained royal knights guarded the large entrance of the dining room. Tanjiro, himself, had lots of knight training and he could fight if he needed

Almost all knights he trained with proclaimed he was on a level of a prodigy as he mastered specific techniques and movements with little fail. Tanjiro is truly incredible and you knew that well, more than your parents did, you had developed a crush on the “lowly, coal boy”, the more you spent time with him

The dining room consisted of the King and Queen with their one and only daughter, you. Finishing up their lunch as you begin to crave a sweet treat as a nice touchup from your truly incredible dinner, asking the butler politely for a chocolate moose. Neither of your parents argued with your wants, you’re in charge of your own body and nobody can tell you what to do

“Royal Poison Detector, come” A friendly yet partly-exhausted maid remarked when she strolled up to him as Tanjiro immediately skipped over to her to follow her to the grand and familiar kitchen of the palace. Such a huge area that smelt like a culinary heaven, potent with savoury chicken, vegetables and pastries. Tanjiro smiled sweetly at the hardworking patrons of the castle as he watched them work vigorously

He felt truly pampered as a worker of the palace as compared to them. All he did to earn money and love from the royal family was sniff foods and shipments for anything fishy, he didn’t work his back off. Though, he was always willing to be around for you, the crowned princess, when no other knight was available or simply when you asked him too

It’s the least he can do

He suspected a wave of beautiful dishes to be presented to him by the many chefs but before the one glass of chocolate moose, in which he guessed was order by you or the Queen. The infamous King entered the kitchen and snapped his fingers for Tanjiro’s attention, ignoring the number of maids and butlers. Of course, Tanjiro immediately listened to his King’s orders and approached him with that unchanging, heart-fluttering beam. He must have wanted his services elsewhere?

It was simple and it made Tanjiro laugh a bit. The King wanted advice on princes of choice for you and he figured to ask the only other teenager your age and he was thankful that one is a boy. He may know the type of guy you would want and Tanjiro was surprised by the King’s rockiness. He understood well that he wanted the right suitor for his daughter and Tanjiro gave the older man his best opinion

As usual of the entire palace, the King took his word and flashed a grateful smile. He did that a lot and he wouldn’t stop. To him and his wife, Tanjiro is one of the most important workers they have

“Thank you, Tanjiro, my boy. Please return to your services now” Tanjiro nodded without a single ounce of refusal and turned around to be met with the eyes of a chef but nothing. Wait, where is the chef with the dessert? He hadn’t gotten the chance to smell the glass, it was his job to protect the family as he took a deep breath to try locate a trail leading out of the miniature ballroom-sized kitchen

And he did find a trail after only a few seconds of closing his eyes and smelling as deeply as he could… a disgusting smell trail

Poison! The dessert is poisoned!

“WAIT! MY PRINCESS!” Tanjiro called out at the top of his lungs, effectively alerting you to draw the sweet contents of the moose from your lips before anything could touch the skin. Your mother and father were equally as alarmed, they never argued with Tanjiro’s remarks. If he said something was poison, it was poison!

Tanjiro had sprinted out of the room and threw the doors open with heaves for air as he only thought to get that dessert away from you, the mere millisecond he realised he could smell a pungent thread of poison in the air. He can’t be too late to protect the family, no! He can’t! Thankfully, he had caught you, just in time before you took the first bite of your craved dessert

Oh thank goodness… he saved you

“IT’S POISON! DON’T EAT IT!” He was sprinting full speed to the table without a second to take a breath, he didn’t get to smell it as he was occupied discussing a important task with the King. Shit, no, he seriously hoped you didn’t take a bite of that moose, it didn’t seem like you did! His eyes didn’t trick him, were they? He could smell the hints of poison, such a powerful poison dumped inside the thick chocolate substances

It was disgusting… so thick and suffocating. What a nasty, chemical-like smell…

You dropped the spoon instantly once looking at his concerned plum reds, the spoonful of moose landing messily on the silky red sheet of the dinning table as Tanjiro scooped up the dessert-filled glass from in front of you and dumped all of the jello-ey sweet into the nearby bin with a sigh of relief. That awful potent smile of medicinal-like chemicals is finally gone. You’re safe again, though, he felt bad for interrupting the privacy of the royal family’s dinnertime

It’s not like the King and Queen would ever get mad at him for protecting their daughter. He was their savourer

Your father was furious at the fact poison was even inserted inside the dessert. What chef made the desert?! Has a assassin infiltrated the royal grounds?! He gruffly ordered every guard the kingdom had inside the walls to fish out the many high-grade chefs working under the kitchen roof and Tanjiro, using his mighty hound senses, effectively sniffed out the culprit from the long line of horrified persons

“This one, your majesty! He has some type of poison inside his pocket!” Tanjiro’s confident-toned statement was right as a plastic bottle of deadly cyanide pills was drawn out from the chef’s uniform pocket when the guards tackled him to the floor. Tanjiro was always right, he never got anything wrong and you felt yourself falling deeper in love with the Royal Poison Detector standing before you, he kept saving you over and over

He is so selfless and brave, yet he was polite and he apologised to your understanding parents for ruining the dinner. You didn’t even care if he accidentally poured wine all over your gown, you just love him. You’ve always loved Tanjiro and whatever suitor your father wanted you to marry wouldn’t be like him. He would accompany you at night anytime you felt uncomfortable and he was at your doorstep in a instant

Sure, he was just the Royal Poison Detector to your parents and to the palace’s systems but to you, he was like a personal bodyguard and your crush. He waited on your hand and foot with zero problem, he’d make such a great King to you. Tanjiro was truly honoured to serve the crowned princess as she pleased, from the bottom of his heart

What working class man like himself wouldn’t want to help such a beautiful advisory, like yourself

“I’m very glad you didn’t take a bite of that moose, your majesty. But don’t worry now, you’re safe”

saw this like a year ago and immediately thought of Sabigiyuu

Gender Swap AU idea (aka TLJ gets pregnant and bingqiu are girls)

TLJ and SXY fall in love, TLJ gets pregnant, SXY refuses to betray TLJ (not knowing of the pregnancy) and is locked up and tortured in the Water Prison forever while officially getting kicked out for "having ties with demons."

Meanwhile, TLJ is ambushed and sealed under a mountain, barely managing to protect the baby in their belly despite the sharp sting of betrayal. TLJ manages to slow down the baby's growth for a while and lengthen the pregnancy time while they try to heal a bit, but eventually runs out of energy to keep that up and ZZL has to help them, uh, get the baby out. It's a gory process, what with being under a mountain.

TLJ struggles emotionally and physically to care for the baby, so ZZL eventually decides to abandon the child in the forest, arguing that the baby would probably die one way or another anyway, and at least this way TLJ doesn't have to watch it slowly happen.

Instead, a rogue cultivator (SJ) stumbles upon the demonic baby and, at the whims of her beloved disciple NYY, decides to spare the demon spawn and let NYY care for it much as if it was a pet, assuming NYY will get bored sooner or later or the baby won't make it to the year.

The baby, against all expectations, manages to survive and grow into a energetic youth, who SJ treats more like a personal servant than a child/grandchild. That is, when SJ isn't mistreating LBH (NYY named her that bc she liked the Luo river in winter... Look, she was like 9) for being half demon and taunting her about being abandoned to die/being generally abusive. This eventually culminates into SJ throwing LBH into the Endless Abyss during the immortal alliance conference, where SJ reunites with her long lost childhood friend and, aware that she is a shady ass rogue cultivator with a half demon for a """disciple""", decides to clean up her image a bit (or at least avoid getting blamed for the attack) by uh. Quietly getting rid of said demonic disciple.

Abyss arc, LBH fully blackens, goes to the demon realm, hunts down info on her bio parents, visits TLJ to ask them why they abandoned her/even had her in the first place if they didn't want her, TLJ tells her that SXY betrayed them but TLJ couldn't bear to get rid of the baby... And then the baby looked exactly like SXY and TLJ couldn't bear looking after the baby either. LBH comes to the conclusion that all humans/cultivators are Bad, breaks her parent out of mountain jail as a first and last act of filial piety, and they raze the human world to the ground (separately).

CQMS and SJ oppose them, with YQY dealing a killing blow on a weakened TLJ but almost dying in the process. LBH walks in, realizes YQY and SJ have some sort of bond, and kidnaps/tortures/kills YQY to hurt SJ. (People assume it's in vengeance for the dead parent thing but uh, no, she just fucking hates SJ and wants her to suffer)

SJ meanwhile hunts down and acquires Xin Mo as a last resort to avoid the end of the human world as they know it, learns YQY has been taken, and fails to get there in time to save the woman from being kicked into the Endless Abyss in a "fuck you" parallel (already practically dead, since YQY expended what little life form she had still in her to temporarily cripple LBH via self-detonation). LBH and SJ fight, SJ gets the upper hand through Xin Mo's corrupting influence, and SJ "finishes what she started" by decapitating LBH. Then Xin Mo turns against her and she dies horribly of a qi deviation that rips out all her limbs and melts her internal organs.

The story finishes with red and teal flowers growing where their puddles of blood coalesce, and a lotus blooming from the bloody flesh of LBH's severed head. The Endless Abyss rift, still open and active under Xin Mo's passive power, further corrupts the nearby lands and it's left ambiguous whether the rift will ever close or if the monsters there will start escaping it and spread over the lands, potentially dooming the human realm anyway.

......So of course when SY transmigrates into the main villain SJ her first order of the day is 1. Love and cherish the tragic figure of LBH 2. Be a decent mother figure 3. Not yeet her child into the Endless Abyss. 4. Maybe try to orchestrate an early meeting with YQY and get a cushy job at CQMS and some decent cultivation education for her disciples/kids. She needs that job security, goddammit.

(Spoilers: LBH gets the mommy kink of the century and enough mommy issues to make Freud rise from the grave dick-first. And yes, she gets together with SY/SQQ in the end and it's a bit weird for those who Know but nobody has the balls to say anything because LBH has always been Like That... And her life's dream since childhood has always been to be forever with her shizun so like! Good for her???)

(Also, through a series of convoluted events and plenty of face slapping, the Old Palace Mistress is eventually outed as the Bad Guy All Along, and a very fucked up but barely still alive SXY is rescued from the Water Prison. TLJ either gets released or gets a plant body, and SXY and TLJ get the opportunity to start anew with a LOT more shared trauma this time. ZZL is just glad he got to take his pound of flesh when SXY and TLJ rained unholy vengeance on the old palace creep.)
