Nightmares: Yagen Toushirou, Fudou Yukimitsu, Taikogane Sadamune

This is actually very interesting, digging into Sada-chan’s mind like this.

Warnings: Suicide, burns, blood, bodily harm, trauma because Yagen and Fudou have so much. Sada-chan being a sad baby pls hug all of the tantous.

Yagen Toushirou

Yagen’s dreams are full of fire. They’re not of him burning like Honebami’s, but more so of the burning of people he cares for, the people he tries to protect the most. Ichigo, brothers, friends, you his master. Watching them waste away in a fire and there is nothing he can do to save them.

Oh but the ones that hurt Yagen the most are when he can feel himself cutting open the stomach of someone he is meant to protect, organs and blood spilling out on to the ground below. Nobunaga had done so with him once. Gods forbid himself from hurting another like that.

Honnouji haunts him yes, of course it would. The fires, the screams, the pain, the sorrow, the lives he had to end. He awakens with a silent scream whenever that happens, tears budding at the corner of his eyes. He would like to wake up his brother but he is asleep, he won’t want to disturb him.

Then there are the nightmares that center around you, his master. If you and Yagen are particularly close during this time, he imagines himself driving his own blade into your form. His hands against yours, almost leading you into doing the dastardly deed. It is when he is waking up from that nightmare does he come to visit you, making sure that you are alive and breathing. He doesn’t mean to wake you if it happens, but when you do, Yagen will hesitate for a moment.

“Can...I come in?” he would question, and when you do, you two sit in silence for a moment. Yagen doesn’t know what to say, his lips tightened into a straight line, fangs chewing on his lower lip. You can see the bags under his eyes and when you ask what is wrong, it takes a moment for him to answer. “Nightmare.” his words are soft and simple. He won’t ask for much comfort, but your presence is good enough. Maybe he’ll hold your hand and feel your pulse, to confirm that you’re alive. Maybe he doesn’t need words to tell you what is going on through is mind, perhaps a touch is enough.

Maybe in the morning and in the following days, he’ll hesitate to touch you. Maybe he’ll keep an eye out for you, almost terrified whenever something sharp was in your line or vision. Yagen will watch you like a hawk but he wouldn’t want to overstep his boundaries. You know that he is doing this because of his nightmare and when you two talk it out, it’ll be fine in the end. He’ll worry but he knows you can take care of yourself.

Alternatively, Yagen will take a walk to clear his mind. Sometimes he will talk with Ichi-nii, telling him of his worries and his fears. Of his hands against the hilt of his own blade, dragging it oh so slow across the skin of his family, as they scream in horror and terror. 

His shoulders will shake, tears held back, Ichi-nii or one of his other brothers will hold him close, running a hand through is hair and telling him it’s okay to cry.

His sobs are soft as he is, quiet as the morning dew. Shoulders shaking, his heart stopping for a moment. He lets out his cries, his shudders, his fears, hoping that they will be lighter.

Yagen will be fine in the end, sure the nightmares are just that. Nightmares. They won’t hurt him, they are not physical beings that could rend him apart. But it does not change the fact even he fears them.

Fudou Yukimitsu

Fudou doesn’t know if the alcohol he drinks helps bring on the damn things or makes them go away or whatever the hell. He just knows that whenever those damn nightmares come, he wakes up with the most horrendous of screams in his solo room, the scent of alcohol replacing the scent of burning flesh and wood. He’ll immediately reach for the bottle again, hoping to drown out his worries and sorrows.

It’s a cycle. Drinking to forget the nightmares and day-mares that haunt him, of the failure that he is. Those screams and the patronizing chide of Hasebe or other swords, it eats away at him.

If you and Fudou are close, he will wander his way into your room or office, reeking of alcohol but for once not at all super drunk? His head is pounding as you look him in the eyes, red and puffy from crying. Fudou doesn’t know why the hell he’s here, but he just wanted someone to...talk to?

He collapses in front of you, tears fully falling down his face now. It’s heart wrenching to say the least. It’s ugly sobbing, loud and snot everywhere. He clings on to you, to the point fabric may rip. THe only thing you can do right now is to hug his shaking body, rub circles into his back and shush him, comfort him as best as you can. He doesn’t know where to go, who to turn to. Sure Odagumi are an idea but if you two are close, the first person he thinks of is you. 

Fudou would begin to apologize once he had calmed down, apologizing for being so weak, so useless of a sword to you. He would say those through his tears, laughing at himself and his shortcomings. You have to gently wipe them away, assuring him that those are not true. Fudou is Fudou, he is not and will never be useless.

If Fudou does not go to you, the first thing that comes to his mind is the rest of the Odagumi. He’ll stumble into one of their rooms (most likely Hasebe as he has a solo room and he doesn’t wanna disturb the rest of the Toushirous and Samonjis) and will wake him up, sobbing all the while. Hasebe will freeze for a moment, before bringing Fudou into a strange sideways hug. 

Fudou doesn’t know how long he can keep this up. These nightmares of a fire, or of failing the people around him. He wants to be stronger because of this, it hurts him so much that he wants to shrivel up and die like Nobunaga had. A part of him wants to join them, to throw himself into a fire and be with the master he loves - unable to ever return the favor.

The next morning, Fudou is a lot more quiet than normal. If you two are close, Fudou will be almost rivaling Hasebe in staying by your side. Yes Fudou will still be drinking to chase away the nightmares but it’s not as much as he normally drinks. HAsebe will find it odd that Fudou is hovering around you, silently yes, and somewhat still at a distance but Fudou is watching out for you more and he cannot complain.

Fudou will talk about his nightmares to you, or Hasebe, or whomever, but they’re jumbled through is sobs and cries. Give him a minute to compose himself, he’ll be alright in the end but patience is key.

When Fudou has had enough of these damn nightmares, the first thing he will do is barge into your office, a confident yet terrified sort of look on his face, courage in his eyes. “Uh.... Well... You'see, there's something....” pls cherish him im so proud of my baby boi

Taikogane Sadamune

Sada-chan’s nightmares don’t come as often as like Yagen or Fudou. While those two will have them much more frequently, and they are beyond violent, Sada-chan’s creep up on him. They start off fine and then creep into unsettling and terrifying. Yes Sada-chan does wake up with a start and sometimes a scream, with tears streaming down his eyes, but he won’t hesitate to seek someone out.

Like Yagen, he will try not to disturb the rest of the Dategumi sleeping in his room. If you and Taikogane are close during this time, he won’t hesitate to see you out, running into your room or office where you are, knocking on the door - quiet and reserved, different from the norm. When he does enter the room, there is a forced smile to his lips, big and proud - yet not reaching his eyes.

He will plop himself down beside you, silent for a moment, unable to look you in the eye before leaning against you. He will begin shaking lightly during this time, trying to keep his tears in, it won’t look cool if he starts to cry! “Master...am I annoying?”

One of Taikogane’s biggest fears (other than to be forgotten like Micchan) is more or less being a burden to everyone. He is hyper-active, a showstopper, proud of himself, but sometimes he wonder if that’s too much for the people around him. Yes he fears the rest of the Dategumi dying or hurt but Gods forbid the dreams where he thinks everyone hates him. Perhaps it’s a childish fear, but he cannot help but worry about it.

Hug him during this time, gently assure him that you love him dearly (platonic or familial) soothe his worries as much as you can dear Saniwa.

If Sada-chan does end up waking the Dategumi from his screams, they jolt awake immediately. It is Micchan is is awake first then Tsurumaru with Ookurikara very close behind. They will ask what is wrong and though Taikogane will try to play it off, smiling all the while - it is Tsurumaru who brings Sada-chan into his arms first. In a way, they all take turns hugging the boy, calming him down. Kara-chan will give him soft sideways hugs, no teasing for Kuri today, Taikogane more importante. 

Those dreams where everyone leaves him, tells him to his face that he should not be here, or snide comments, they hurt Sada-chan’s pride. He can only bounce back so much after all. His energy is finite despite how boundlessly adorably bouncing he is. He worries that he may be forgotten like Micchan one day, but he worries the most about if he’s annoying or not.

Those are the nights when each of the Dategumi will also take turns cuddling him, rocking him to sleep. Most of the time the duty falls on to Micchan and Tsurumaru, sometimes Ookurikara will do so in his own way - taking Sada-chan out for a walk to clear his eyes and give him some choice words about his worries.

In the morning after and maybe a couple of days after that, Taikogane will be much more subdued. He will be a lil bit more quiet than normal, preferring to stay near you or the Dategumi instead of interacting with everyone else.

But slowly does Sada-chan come outta his shell, the boundless energy he’s known for coming back. He’s doing his best because of the people he loves and the people that love him back!

[sword-brainrot]

*slowly crawls out of my hell hole* henlo darling can i have some of sweet sweet bff kiwame!fudou headcanons??? ples, i love my son so much thank you byeeeee, i love youuu and make sure you take care of yaselfffffff *hides*

I love YOU!! And you better be treating yourself with care

Bff Kiwame!Fudou Yukimitsu (GN Reader)

♡  Fudou has always been a lovable dork. That doesn’t change in his kiwame form. He is still the guy that will get into petty little fights with Hasebe or other swords and then come complaining to his best friend about it.

♡  Fudou wears his heart on his sleeve, which is good and bad. He will make it very known that he adores someone with his whole heart and praise them without asking for anything in return. However, it means that he also gets hurt a lot for any insults that come his way... Even he tries to brush it off. 

♡  As much as his best friend is there for him, he is there for them equally as much. Maybe even more so! They have something they wish to complain about? Fudou is there with his favorite snacks and about to listen all the way through.

♡  He is really good at picking up on cues too. So they may be upset about something and Fudou will approach them before they even say anything and ask what’s up. Always there for his best friend. 

♡  Confiding in his best friend is the best thing that has ever happened to him.

♡  It is very well known that Fudou’s whole journey was facing his past demons and breaking his drinking problems. Although he is sober now, it doesn’t mean that it is totally broken. He can’t be around alcohol because the temptation is still there, lingering. 

♡  This also means that he can’t hang out with some of his past drinking buddies. Some of them understand that he doesn’t want to be around them while they are drunk and that he is sober now, but others will still offer a drink and to hang out with them like that. He politely declines but it is hard on him sometimes!

♡  You being there for him helps him a lot with him not feeling alone and having someone who understands his struggles even if they might of not dealt with an alcohol addiction. 

♡  On top of that, he still has nightmares of seeing those that died around him. The things he would constantly drink to forget and not focus on. Sometimes he will appear at your room very late at night just to be around someone. Sudden sleepovers may happen because he truly doesn’t want to be alone after them. 

♡  You open your room to him and his room is open to you. 

♡  Video games are something he learns to love. Late nights of the two of you talking while yelling over a game is a must have. Quality bonding time between the two of you. 

♡  Fudou was a sword that was often times sung about while his owner was very drunk, so the tune wasn’t always amazing. He will sometimes sing very off tune to make others laugh. 

♡  Can he not sing and that is how he covers it up? Who knows....

♡  Fudou would be one the most caring best friends you could ever ask for. He loves unconditionally and wishes for nothing but to make his best friend proud of him and to have them smile every day. 

♡  Perhaps a little clingy at times but that is because he truly enjoys your company more than anyone else.

i’m coming home, sweet home

iT’S STILL LOVING FUDOU YUKIMITSU HOURS, GOT INSPIRED BY @lan-desolate​‘s HEADCANONS AND BY @rexcaliburechoes​ HABIT OF STAYING UP TILL 2AM TO WELCOME THEIR SWORD BOIS HOME FROM KIWAME, REXY PLS SLEEP. Could also be seen as a sequel to 𝕔𝕒𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕤𝕡𝕠𝕥 𝕞𝕖 𝕚𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕤𝕜𝕪 𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕟𝕖𝕖𝕕 𝕥𝕠?

Fudou honestly thought he could sneak into the citadel, at the crack of dawn, when no one was around and he was left to his thoughts.

He is a tantou after all, meant to be small and sneaky and swift and sly.

What he did not expect, however, was for you to wait until the most ungodly hours of the morning in order to see him.

In hindsight, maybe he should have? He has seen you stay up before, waiting for whatever may come: a team to return home, a Kiwame journey reaching its end, or something over the internet that he cannot fathom yet.

But in the back of his mind, he wonders and ponders that if he was worth it.

Was he?

It is a question that never leaves him, even after his travels.

It follows him.

Haunts him.

A ghostly specter that nips at his heels and gnaws at the neurons in his brain, and no matter how many times he brushes the pest to the back of his mind – where it will hopefully stay locked away and hidden and rot – it comes back again and again and again with even more jeers and taunts.

“Fudou!”

It was soon punted back into its cage, however, at the sound of your voice. A smile tugs at the corners of his lips, your name dancing upon the tip of his tongue.

But it is the people beside you that cause him to hesitate, from running into your arms and giving you the biggest of hugs.

“Welcome home.” It is Yagen who speaks up first, pushing his glasses up further so he could see, a warm jacket around his form – shaking his head with a snort as he watches you dash into the courtyard, still clad in nothing but a blanket and pajamas. He follows after you, making no sound as he crosses the yard; chuckling as you tackle him into your slightly frigid embrace.

“It is good to see you, Fudou,” Souza’s voice is melodic as birds would, his own movements nothing short of graceful. He is tired, it is plain to see – dark bags under his eyes and also sporting a blanket around his thinner shoulders – but the smile upon his lips is nothing short of gentle and kind and welcoming.

Hasebe finishes the dashing quartet of exhausted lot, the bags under his eyes not as noticeable at the others but paint his skin. Fudou wonders if he will be scolded, almost steeling himself for his words, back straight and chest puffed out.

Then a hand rests on his head, ruffling his royal purple locks, messing up the red ribbon that held it all together.

“You did well, Fudou.”

You did well, Fudou.

You did well, Fudou.

You did well, Fudou.

The sentence rings in his ears, in his brain, in his soul, in his core as a tsukumogami.

The tears begin to fall, his face buried into your shoulder; loud sobs erupting from his body. His hands cling on to the clothing upon you, tears staining cotton and silk. Your hand finds his back, shushing him softly and rubbing circles into his skin.

The hustle and bustle of everyone waking up within the citadel does not reach Fudou’s ears, existing in there here and now.

Soon a party would be held, of course there would be, there always is one. It’s something to be celebrated.

Fudou Yukimitsu is worth it.

Because he always had been.

And so the boy holds his head aloft, the smile reaching from ear to ear.

“I’m home!”

IT’S LOVING FUDOU YUKIMITSU HOURS B A B E H

in theory i should sleep but seeing as i dont got work...i gonna write about my son. Was listening to Star Maps by Sj Tucker and well...I have a lot of story ideas from this song. @rexcaliburechoes​

“Turn around.” Fudou hates it when you see him cry.

Tears wrought upon him; by burdens you cannot calculate or even hope to understand. You can try, oh how you try, but it’s something you can never reach. It scalds you when you try, the tantou hidden amongst the flames that once took him away at Honnouji.

It kills you to hear him like this.

You feel his forehead hit your back, soft sniffles from his nose, and tears staining fabric.

A ritual you two held since he was summoned to your side, since the beginning.

You tell him, again and again and again.

“It’s alright. You can cry, Fudou. I’m here for you.”

It’s hard to swallow down his pride though.

Your ears pick up a hiccup, and your back straightens, opening up your heart – mind, soul, whatever the boy needs – for him. There isn’t much to speak about; you know Fudou will say what he needs to say when he’s ready.

Until then, all you can do is sit there; back to him, staining cotton with tears and snot and sometimes vomit if you’re unlucky.

You reach back, fingers padding against the floor to find his hand.

It shakes when it collides with yours; shivering though no coldness was seeping into his bones.

It’s nothing but a searing heat swirling in his head.

Fudou falls asleep like this again, snores reaching your ears, a final squeeze of your hand as he drifts off. Finally you turn to face him, letting his head lean on your shoulder. Your hand runs through his amethyst locks, thumb wiping away his tears.

If you could be respite for him, even just a little bit in this chaotic world, then you are content.

General Post-Kiwame!Fudou Yukimitsu Headcanons + Odagumi

Y;’ALL DONT GET IT. I LOVE FUDOU SO MUCH MAN IS MY BABY BOI. I LOVE HIM. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO HIM I’LL CUT A BIYVCH @ tra cOME AT ME

@rexcaliburechoes​

Warnings: Mentions of Oda, blood, fire, mentions of Fudou’s alcoholism. Based off of this lil comic by @aonik. I’m projecting. I love him so much. ​

The minute he comes home and you wrap your arms around him in pure happiness? Fudou practically begins sobbing. You believed in him all this time????? He begins to shed joyful tears into your shoulder. Hasebe and Yagen will rub his back as Souza pats his head, all of them welcoming him home. Yagen and you will remark that you almost didn’t recognize him, which honestly means he laughs through his tears, proud of himself for coming this far.

Hell, even Hasebe (someone who he is at constant odds with) will say he’s proud of him. Fudou beams at this, a blush to his cheeks, pride swelling in his chest. He looks like a kid who just got the best score out of all of the class. Of course he’ll lightly punch Hasebe in the stomach and be like, “Of course! What else did you expect from me when I set out to become stronger?!”

“You look splendid, Fudou. I am so glad you are doing well.” Souza would say with a gentle smile, and again Fudou just BEAMS I LOVE HIM. 

Like the comic above, Fudou will begin to help more around the citadel. Duties he used to shrink away from he does with a little bit more confidence. He will go out of his way to be Hasebe’s own little assistant! Bringing him tea and telling him to relax and take care of himself. Hasebe will be shook of course.

In fact, for the Odagumi who had been dealing with his shenanigans and shit since the beginning, I feel like Fudou will take extra care of them. He’s a kid who does thing via actions more so than his words, It’s his own way of thanking them, he will remember their likes and habits and dislikes, catering little snacks to them. Sometimes he will try to take over their duties for them!

Yagen honestly finds it almost odd at Fudou’s behavior. He cannot help but wonder if Fudou is trying almost too hard to make them...almost like him? Is it a sort of repentance for his drunken antics? Perhaps. But Fudou feels comfortable now giving thanks and telling people he appreciates them. 

Souza finds Fudou’s behavior rather sweet. He doesn’t mind Fudou taking over his duties, it’s just another way that Fudou shows that he cares. 

In terms of being around you, Fudou will come to you in private, shoulders slumping and tensing at the same time. A weight on his chest and tears holding themselves back. He will bow at his waist, apologizing for all of the trouble he has caused you. Just hug him. Please. For me. 

This kind of apology extends to the Odagumi as well. He will gather them all in his room and apologize to them, swearing to make up for it. He’s holding back tears during this and a simple pat on the head from Hasebe, Yagen, or Souza just causes all of the waterworks to overflow. It’s one of the few times he finds himself oh so vulnerable in front of his former comrades.

Despite all of this, Fudou does have times when he doesn’t think he’s good enough. He’ll bounce back faster than his past self, smacking himself in the face and thinking, “It won’t do to be sad! I’m stronger now, and while these moments do happen, I have promised myself to never let the things that happened to Nobunaga-sama ever happen again to me or my master and my friends!” 

He won’t lie, the nightmares still plague him. During these moments of the night, Fudou will want to reach for alcohol again but instead will go to Hasebe or Yagen for help, most likely the latter as Yagen was there when Nobunaga was ya know, ending his life. 

His interactions with Souza are softer, since Souza is a very withdrawn person in general and isn’t the biggest fan of Nobunaga himself. Fudou won’t talk much about their previous master around him, but will be found complimenting his beauty and brushing his hair. Fudou was merely a piece of art, Fudou can relate to that and while Fudou was loved oh so much, Souza was just...there. 

Fudou does become somewhat of a chatter box after his kiwame, but around Souza he’s a lot more quiet. Souza was there for him when Fudou was being a lil shit, so Fudou wants to be there for Souza and the rest of the Odagumi too! He’ll always tell Souza that he’s an amazing and try to make him smile at least once. Will actively try to get closer to Souza’s brothers to help cheer him up. 

Fudou shied away from the rest of the Awatagushi before but now he’ll happily join them in their shenanigans. Yagen is shocked, shocked I say, to see Fudou begrudgingly sit still for once and let his little brothers braid and play with his hair but it’s a soft sight and it’s good for the eyes. 

In battle, Fudou does become a little bit more protective of his teammates. He absolutely rEFUSES to be useless again, or even think of himself as useless in that sense. 

If any of the Odagumi have someone they are interested in romantically, Fudou is 100000% behind them! He will research what it’s like to have feelings and help them find ways to confess! Will also be a shoulder to cry on if the object of their affections doesn’t get it/doesn’t feel the same way. He’s basically that trope of the guy behind the mic in the ear, whispering to the other what to say! 

It doesn’t mean Fudoi still isn’t some kind of trouble maker. But it’s all in good spirits. You know when Fudou dropped Taroutachi’s futon and got it all dirty in Hanamaru? Yeah he’ll be like that. He is apologetic and will do his best to make up for the mistake tenfold now. So sometimes he takes too much from the Odagumi and won’t ask for anything in return.

Hasebe and Yagen and Souza have to stop him, to remind him that they are a team. He can rely on them and it’s okay, Fudou doesn’t need to shoulder everything on his own even after Kiwame.
