#fits genyame au

[minteayoongimakesmewoozi]

what about a Genyame AU? I adore Tanyame, but just what if…

👀 a genyame au...... teeheeheehee......... i mean, i feel u. i adore tanyame too, but genyame is just so...... i mean they are literally Like That. i never expected genya to be such a romantic!!!!!!

- okay so genyame would probably work best if they knew each other in their trainee days

- like kyoujurou and gyoumei both decide that actually, it might be better if their apprentices have someone their age to train with! after all, that someone would also likely be their skill level

- yeah so genya isn't quite at ayame's skill level, on account of not being able to use total concentration breathing. but this is also genya pre-puberty (or pre-noticing how cute girls can be) and so he finds himself more jealous of ayame than anything

- you'd think they wouldn't get along, seeing how terribly their first meeting went in fits canon, but actually, despite genya's jealousy, ayame and genya get along really well. it helps that they are both self-aware enough to realise how weak they are, and they're both trying to figure out - in their own ways - how to get stronger

- well, not entirely in their own way. ayame and genya both help each other a lot, offering tips and encouragement. they're both just so off-handed and aloof about it that their shishous don't realise they're friends until they both set off for their final selections

- and u know, speaking of genya's jealousy of ayame, i bet it all gets turned around the day ayame comes back from okutama an orphan. by then, the rumours have spread throughout the ranks of the hashiras, although only a handful of people will realise what that means to anyone - and to ayame in particular

- in this au, i still think that ayame and tanjirou would be close. maybe not quite as close as they are in fits canon, but they can always count on each other as family

- the only major change, i guess, would be that genyame go on their first mission tgt, and ayame is a lil more absent from tanjirou's side during rehabilitation arc; she would be splitting her time between training her friends and hounding genya about his meetings/appointments/sessions with shinobu

- i can see ayame and sanemi's r/ship taking a turn for the worse though. ayame gets a chance to be close to genya, which is all sanemi wants and could have if he wasn't such an idiot about it. ayame also can't stand the fact that sanemi would push away his only living sibling, when she would do anything she could to hold on as tight as she can. i bet things between sanemi and genya can't really escalate bc genya is too busy mediating between his older brother and his, uh, best friend/crush/potential love of his life (?)

- is sanemi's and genya's r/ship better in this au? maaayyybeeeee but only bc ayame and sanemi are actively pissing each other off ig????? sanemi's too busy getting pissed off at ayame to even think of maiming genya so????? it's a win (????)

- would they get together? i'd like to think so. maybe they're both kinda hinting at their feelings in swordsmith village, although they never say it outright, bc genya is a romantic but ayame is an idiot. she is an idiots squad member after all

- i am so sorry for her idiocy

- but i guess they might end up confessing to each other in annoyance at sanemi's station. because genya got hurt and ayame takes her friends getting hurt very seriously

- but seriously, who told him to get involved in tanjirou's and sanemi's spat? he nearly got his eyes gouged out as collateral damage! if ayame hadn't been there, he might have actually lost his eyes! and we all know how important eyes are to ayame

- i think this makes zenitsu and tanjirou the giyuu of this au. seeing as they're stuck in the room while genyame angrily confess their feelings to each other and they can't exactly leave

- don't ask me how the final battle arc goes. i don't want to think about it. just - happy ending for them idc my heart is already breaking

- altho they probably kiss on their lil date for the lunar new year festival - and bonus!!! ayame didn't forget about it!!! she was just too busy convincing herself (and zenitsu and tanjirou) that genya probably didn't mean to ask her out on a date (even though everyone and their crow knows he meant to ask her out on a date gods ayame you're so blind)

Im beginning to slowly fall into the devastating realization that im gonna just have WIP and never a completed work. Like i have Tanyame, Genyame and now thinking of @minteayoongimakesmewoozi actor au an hashira au!?!?!? Like WILL I EVER HAVE ANYTHING GOOD TO POST FOR MY LOVE OF THESE IDIOTS???

[minteayoongimakesmewoozi]

I never knew I needed an arranged marriage au until now 😩

i've been pretty busy with picking up some additional shifts the last couple days, so this has been sitting in my mind for a bit but yes 😔 arranged marriage au!

- llllllet's saaaayyyy that's ayame and tanjirou are betrothed months before the tragedy in okutama. ayame is newly thirteen, tanjirou is almost thirteen and they both agree that a marriage between them would be... well. not quite beneficial, but definitely something that would make their families happy, considering the recent tragedies that befell them (akihiko's death and tanjurou's waning health)

- their marriage is shelved for when they're older, although when exactly "older" is isn't exactly specified. maybe it's just for when they get to know each other more (or when they hopefully fall in love with each other)

- kie and tanjurou married for love, after all, so they at least want that for tanjirou. hanabi and junhiko know that a betrothal can have love blossom, so they want that for ayame

- both sets of parents are aware that their kids are awkward and probably wouldn't get married otherwise cksndkwmwow

- giyuu's confrontation with tanyame would go a little different. ayame would immediately step in to protect nezuko, since that's her future sister-in-law, oni or not

- would ayame still have a crush on giyuu? hard to say. i think she would, but there would be more guilt associated with it. people would definitely tease her about it a lot less, especially considering they know she's tanjirou's fiance

- this does mean that shinobu would tease ayame abt tanjirou a lot more, yes

- tengen would also be a little less critical about her during the hashira trial too. after all, it isn't just some boy, but her betrothed. that's a hard call to make either way

- he would be more critical of tanjirou during rld though. mostly about how he failed to protect ayame with the whole okami-san and danna-san punishing her (but at the same time he'd kinda???? respect him more too????? because he trusts his betrothed to manage herself through it all. listen, fits tengen has very complicated feelings all the time make him stop)

- now... *enitsu

- u know zenitsu would just be more livid from the onset. it's one thing for tanjirou to travel with two pretty girls, but it's another thing when he's betrothed to one of them and they still haven't gotten married yet what the fuck is wrong with you

- zenitsu would go feral biting any potential suitors of ayame much sooner tho

- genya... just watch out for zenitsu's teeth. ur teeth might grow back, but zenitsu's won't. pls remember that

- let's just... put aside the genyame in this au. cos it'll make me sad. they're est buddies though! (genya is frantically trying to forget he used to have a crush on ayame)

- ayame and tanjirou in this au would be a lot shyer about sharing a room though. which is. ridiculous. u guys are ENGAGED what do u mean u're embarrassed to be sharing a room!!!!!! that's literally ur future spouse

- u know what would be funny? if kyoujurou pretended he didn't know tanjirou was betrothed to ayame. ayame knows he knows, but tanjirou doesn't, and he's going to milk it for the entirety of mugen train

- :( his final conversation would include his wedding congratulations tho :( :( :(

- and his letter from chapter 96 too 😭 😭 😭

- but also tanjirou just casually introducing ayame as his betrothed 🥺 🥺 🥺 stop it tanjirou, ayame is blushing and it's ruining her image

- swordsmith village would be less sad though. cos they'd probably start properly dating - or, well, courting - after that kiss. but ayame doesn't go on that date with genya :(

- no shinazugawa "steal yo girl" genya in this au guys

- post-ssv zenitsu would be both livid and ecstatic. will keep pushing them to get married from the moment they return

- i think inosuke would still kiss ayame in kinstugi though. cos he's chaos in a boar mask

- that being said, would fracture even happen????? maybe they'd just yell at each other and separate to sulk until ayame gets hit with the kitsune oni anthrax attack

- then it's just tears on both ends

- "I'm Kamado Tanjirou, and this is my betrothed, Higuchi Ayame!"

"Tanjirou... you - you don't have to keep adding that we're betrothed..."

- this would also make the shinjurou hinting at ayame to marry senjurou thing be even funnier. like u know he's trolling, but zenitsu heard and gasped so loud that aoi thought he was having an asthma attack

- then he sends shinjurou scandalised looks the whole night

- listen. he did offer for senjurou to be her second husband (he's such a troll smh)

- don't ask me how chapter 97 will go. i'm not gonna think about it.

- the first time ayame introduces tanjirou as her betrothed - probably in asakusa - and his heart goes doki doki so hard that even nezuko is worried
