You Hold My Feelings In Your Palm by sleuthlaw

Summary: "It may not have been extraordinary, but it was still an eye catching and pretty rock.

“It’s lovely,” Tanjiro said. Inosuke pressed his hand against Tanjiro’s with a grunt, his eyebrows beginning to furrow in frustration. “Wait, it’s for me?”

He was expecting an outburst of an answer. Something along the lines of ‘of course Gonpachiro’ and how great he was for gifting his subordinates with such treasures.

Inosuke didn’t say anything though. He just nodded and kept his hand held out.

— —

Tanjiro's poor pining heart can't take Inosuke's sudden careful and affectionate actions.

Shinkei by orphan_account

Summary: Inosuke is touch starved. So touch starved that even coming in contact with his skin without violence makes him giddy.

He doesn’t know why but it makes him upset when he’s touched by another person especially Tanjirou Kamado. His touch is soft and light and it makes Inosuke almost want to cry.

He doesn’t understand.

familiar by saturneggos

Summary: Inosuke felt warm when he was with Tanjirou. Like he was the sun, and Inosuke was some sort of plant stretching its leaves towards the sky. He needed him.

He felt guilty that he needed him when it seemed like Tanjirou was whole without him.

you drag me headfirst, fearless by meiishu

Summary: “It’s a celebration, son!” Momosuke says. “It’s tradition to find the person waiting for you, and give them a kiss! The more passionate it is, and the better your bond is with who you return to, the better your catch will be!”

Chiyo gently hits her husband on the chest again, blushing, criticizing him about teasing the kids between her giggles.

“Strength?! Passion?!” Inosuke asks. “How is this strength?! How does this make the fish better?!

Chiyo is laughing. “You don’t have to do it, you can just ignore my husband.”

Inosuke bristles. Tanjirou can almost read it from his body language: well, now I want to.

“How do you pick your victim?!” Inosuke demands to know.

“Victim? No no, you pick the person who was waiting for you to come home.” Momosuke says. “Someone important to you.”

— — —

(or: inosuke learns how to kiss someone...maybe.)

Sun-streaked horizons by fishy_fishyy

Summary: Inosuke’s made a growl of protest, and tried to get up. “I don’t have an infection or a fever, you hag! I’m fine!” Shinobu pressed him back down onto his bed. Inosuke continued to struggle, definitely not liking the sound of staying in bed for days straight.

“Stop it, Inosuke.” Tanjiro said. “You need to rest and get better. The sooner you get better; the sooner you can go on missions again.”

Inosuke hesitated before sinking back down, his face red, and not because of his fever. “Fine. But only because you said so.”

Summary: Inosuke has a rare moment alone with Tanjirou and he finally lets his guard down.

in which tanjirou insists that he's not jealous and inosuke is oblivious by lostcaptains

Summary: “Ugh don’t start pissin�� me off too Daichi, I’ve had enough alright,” Inosuke groans dramatically. He hands his finished plate to Daichi and lays back on the bed, “Give me the damn medicine so I can go to sleep, I’m tired.”

Oh.

He didn’t get Daichi’s name wrong.

Tanjirou scoffs loudly and curses himself in embarrassment when he sees everyone in the room look at him curiously. Crap, he meant to keep that to himself.

——————

In which another demon slayer catches feelings for Inosuke and listen Tanjirou is not jealous okay! Really he’s not, no matter what anyone says.

fuwafuwa by Esselle

Summary: Inosuke likes it when people tell him he's great at things, because it's true, and they should all acknowledge how powerful he is.

But whenever Tanjiro does it, it makes him feel… weird.

— — —

ふわふわ (fuwafuwa) can mean several different things:

1. Fluffy; soft.

2. Light and airy.

3. The way Tanjiro makes Inosuke feel.

If I Did This by angeljays

Summary: Tanjiro always found himself watching and wondering if they could be something more or if Inosuke would ever see him that way. There were so many things he loved about the wild boy, but he would let it all go if it wasn’t what Inosuke wanted.

A trip to an onsen seemed like the perfect opportunity to see if Inosuke felt the same.

The Start of Something New by SummerSolstice202 or @basic-otaku

Summary: “I really am sorry,” Tanjirou says as he pulls away. “I didn’t mean to hit you that hard.”

“S’okay,” Inosuke says, voice barely a whisper. “Didn’t hurt.”

~

"Hey, are you two together?" Mitsuri asks from behind the pair.

“Hah?” Inosuke points to Tanjirou. “I’m literally standing right next to him! What are you, stupid?”

While Inosuke may understand that the feelings he has for Tanjirou are more than platonic, that doesn't mean he understands romance in the slightest. So, who else to go to other than the love hashira herself?

I won't stop until I give you the stars! by Shirley_Queen

Summary: Since the moment Tanjiro receives his first gift, he knew that he would be receiving a large number of these for the rest of their adventure.

But he wasn't expected that the boar take it so seriously, not until Inosuke yells at him earnestly:

"I won't stop until I give you the stars!"

Lupin's Reunion; CorruptedSpoon - bungo stray dogs

explicit (implied sexual content + violence) | 4 chapters | 10.7k words | chuuya/dazai | READ TAGS

summary:

Abandoning Mori’s rule and joining the Armed Detective Agency was the best decision the duo had ever made. The change of alliance proved detrimental to the Port Mafia and allowed them to build a new life for themselves under the organization’s protection. Dazai was astronomically proud of the decisions he made and eternally grateful for Chuuya’s unwavering loyalty throughout the process.

Odasaku would be proud.

He’s missed his friend. It was with a sad smile that he realized he’d get to have drinks with him soon again. Maybe Chuuya would join him this time around.

The battered man in his arms poured all his energy into opening his eyes. He was met with a look of both adoration and irrefutable sadness.

“You’re thinking stupid things again.”

Selfless until the very last minute, huh? He found bittersweet comfort in Chuuya’s remark.

Or alternatively,

Dazai had come to terms with dying alongside Chuuya in the woods. The anguish he felt as Chuuya took his last breath was soothed by the idea of them reuniting in a few short minutes. His dream of a bittersweet Bar Lupin reunion with his favorite people was ripped away from him as he heard the sound of the ADA's arrival.

Dream Chibi / I wanna hold your hand; Lazchan, Riley_writes - bungo stray dogs

mature | 19 chapters | 69.8k words | chuuya/dazai, poe/ranpo, dazai & yosano, chuuya & tachihara

summary:

Dazai returned to his classes, recovered from his latest stint in the hospital. This time had been particularly strange: every time he’d gone to sleep, he’d had a strange dream, featuring a really attractive person that he’d never met. Dazai had allowed himself to indulge in those dreams, spending time with the dream figure until he felt like he’d known the man all his life. It was too bad that the man wasn’t real…

He trailed off in his thoughts, eyes going wide as the very same man from his dreams walked in the front door of the class.

and the cracks begin to show; ExorcisingEmily - bungo stray dogs

mature | 3 chapters | 19.7k words | chuuya/dazai | READ TAGS

summary:

By twelve, Chuuya would kill for him. By fourteen, Chuuya would go to war for him. By sixteen, Chuuya was ready to die for him. By eighteen, Chuuya was ready to destroy everything to save Dazai.

And isn't that just the problem.

summary:

Without even realizing it—with the world still a conglomeration of swirling color and too-distant sounds—Dazai stumbled his way into the middle of oncoming traffic, right at the heart of Yokohama.

He didn't register the sound of someone screaming his name. Didn't hear the blaring horns, terrified screaming, or screeching tires of swerving cars. Couldn't see the flashing lights or the people across the street, some turning away to avoid the scene while others looked on with growing horror, unable to tear their eyes away from inevitable tragedy.

kny ships that live rent-free in my mind bc of @lesbiansanemi and their fics 💞 they do a few diff pairings but these are the ones floating around their bibliography that really make me 👀👀 disclaimer: none of these doodles are actually from any of their fics (except for braid!sanemi), only inspired by them. i just think all three of these ships would exist so chaotically. :')

🎴 GenTan fic recommendation list Part 2! 🍉

Don’t forget to check out Part 1 too!

As the last time, this list is based on my personal likes and, ofc, on the fics I’ve read. I tried to include all GenTan flavors ❤️💜 They’re not put in any particular order and most of them are completed fics. I’m adding some of the tags, but not all of them since I don’t want to make this post extra long, so please read them again once you go to the Ao3 link. Anime-onlies, beware of spoilers. Please enjoy!

sliding across the clouded sky by mimimimi (reiiiiii), 179k, WIP

(Figure skating AU, Modern Setting, Fluff and Angst, Slow Burn, Aged-Up Character(s), Friends to Lovers, Mutual Pining)

The life of a figure skater is short. People expect you to retire at a young age and the moment you have an injury and take a break to recover, you're done for.

Shinazugawa Genya had to deal with it now that he's gotten the biggest injury on his skating career. And the press isn't helping at all, either.

The only light keeping him connected to the figure skating world? Kamado Tanjirou.

Starting with a classic! This beautiful slow burn explores the nature of their relationship as something that makes grow both Genya and Tanjirou. It has lots of funny and tender moments.

Life in plastic, it’s fantastic! by Side_Ponytail, 4k

(Modern Setting, Meet-Cute, Hijinks & Shenanigans, Getting Together, First Kiss, POV Alternating, Fluff and Humor, Scheming)

Tanjiro takes his siblings to see the Barbie movie, Genya’s siblings drag him along, and Parent Trap levels of shenanigans ensue.

No Barbie Movies were spoiled in the making of this fic.

One of the funniest and most adorable fics I’ve ever read. If you need a boost of sugar, this is it.

June Bridegroom by 125389, 2k

(Canon Compliant, Post-Canon, Fluff and Angst, Established Relationship, Kamado Tanjirou-centric, Horror, Manga Spoilers)

Upon concluding an important day, the boundary between dreams and reality blurs as Tanjirou reveals the true nature of his feelings and whom he's really marrying.

A fic for those who love to suffer and don’t fear to embrace the tragic nature of GenTan.

a checkered haori by DragonsAndCryptids, 2k

(Post-Swordsmith Village Arc, Hurt/Comfort, Scents & Smells, Pre-Relationship, Fluff)

After the confrontation with Sanemi, Genya steals Tanjiro's haori because he likes the way it smells and it helps calm him down.

He doesn't want to address why that is, but when Tanjiro finds out, he doesn't give him much of a choice.

Tanjirou being Genya’s weak point, we all love it.

All Bark, No Bite by Rigmaroler, 92k

(Witch Tanjiro, Werewolf Genya, Alternate Universe - Fantasy, Hurt/Comfort, Falling in Love, Worldbuilding, Fluff, Action/Adventure, Sharing a Bed)

When Tanjirou first sees the wolf, he only has one thought in his head. He sees it under the light of the moon, just bright enough for the wet blood in its dark gray pelt to shine. Its teeth are bared, white, sharp and long as each of Tanjirou’s fingers. Its growl is a low bass rumble that Tanjirou can practically feel in his bones, rattling his spine. Its muzzle is stained red with blood, and marred with a jagged scar that cuts through its dense fur.

Or: Tanjirou is a witch's apprentice with a bad habit of bringing home strays. Genya is a young man who's been called a monster so many times, he's started to believe it.

Genya letting himself to be loved, Tanjirou learning that he can also want things for himself. Just beautiful.

The hidden stairs (Red velvet flicker) by Wild_Quetzal, 4k

(Alternate Universe - Vampire, Horror, Romance, Hurt/Comfort, vampire!Shinazugawa Genya, Dubious Morality, Enemies to Lovers)

A couple of minutes later, Tanjirou is left in his chambers. The place is big and empty. Despite the cold temperature, Tanjirou pays it no mind. He presses his ear against the heavy wooden door, then he sniffs it. Nothing seems out of place. He’s truly alone.

What the old lady who gave him instructions told him echoes in his mind: “That man is no Count. He’s a thief.”

Tanjirou arrives at the castle looking for answers. His host will only give him more questions. What is Genya hiding?

Yes, it’s the self-promo part. We had werewolf Genya and now we have vampire Genya in some very gothic and dramatic romance.

MANIC MONDAY IS FINALLY HERE GO READ IT !!!!!!!!

⚠️ FIC CONTAINS MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR DEMON SLAYERS ENDING ⚠️

In one world, Muichiro Tokito falls to the floors of Infinity Castle, bloodied but victorious. In another, he awakens on the floor of a forest filled with trees taller than anything he's ever seen. However bad of a a day Muichiro is about to have, Konoha is about to have a whole lot worse. Or, Muichuro wakes up in Naruto after the final battle, almost immediately beats Danzo to death in front of Shisui, proceeds to get gaslit into helping the Uchiha coup, and maybe kind of accidentally derails all of Naruto canon in spectacularly explosive fashion. Oops?

Hi!! I love your art and your ideas and I was wondering if you had recs for any kny agereg or de-age fics?

Thank you!! That makes me very happy to hear!

As for fic recs hmm...

My go tos are 'No One Dies On My Watch', 'Sweetling' and the series 'Little Bunny on the Mountain'.

These are all agere oneshot fics so if you're looking for variety these are a pretty good option, the first one is also still taking requests so if your interested in seeing your favs than I would say that's a good choice!

Now for De-aged fics

The ones I have saved are 'Baby Hashira' (De-aged Muichiro) and 'Once More, With Feeling' (De-aged Zenitsu)

I will give a quick warning for the second as it deals with reference with child abuse so if that makes you feel uncomfortable, I would suggest skipping that one! I haven't finished these one's yet either (I have a hard time finishing stories with a lot of chapters lol)

These are just the ones I have saved so I do hope this was helpful! (These are all on Ao3 btw :3)

Taming a wild patient by @silverynight

Summary: Genya rolls his eyes, looks around like he's about to get up but stops when Tanjirou gets closer and sits on his lap.

Kiss it better by silverynight

Summary: "Why would I be friends with someone who hurt me?"

Tanjirou pouts, he starts feeling bad about it; maybe he actually broke it so bad and it never actually healed completely.

"Does it cause you pain still? Maybe you should talk to Aoi about it. But let me kiss it better first!"

Genya freezes completely, staring down at Tanjirou like he's not sure he heard correctly.

"What?"

A grumpy boy by silverynight

Summary: "He needs a friend, no one wants to get closer to him!" Tanjirou pouts, remembering all the times he's seen him in the butterfly estate and how the other slayers avoid him at all costs.

"What if he wants to be left alone? Have you ever thought about that?"

In Tanjirou's opinion, no one should end up alone, but perhaps Zenitsu has a point.

"Okay... If my plan doesn't work, I'll leave him alone."

Radiant by bluebottle762

Summary: Technically life didn't settle with the end of everything, but it felt that way. A routine, an assurance of an end, if not in their lifetimes then someday in the future. Their chosen path in life was still a dangerous one, especially for Tanjiro - now Sun Hashira, but they are at least afforded more peace than before. Peace that they use almost exclusively for each other, because that's what you do when you're head over heels for someone in the way that they are.

Our Little Secret by Anonymous

Summary: He and Genya had gotten close, he believes.

The latter had started to open up, he's become more affectionate. Not that Tanjirou minded, it was fine.

But there were subtle hints of emotions that he wasn't used to smelling. He smelt it in the entertainment district but that's the only time he did.

Love and Lust.

He never thought of it that much, nor did he acknowledge the agitation in Genya's attitude recently.

But from Genya though? He didn't know how to react to that.

So he pushed it away and didn't think about it, then he realized too late that Genya's agitated state would turn out to be sexual frustration.

One day, out of nowhere,

Genya had quickly picked up and carried Tanjiro as he made his way towards a dark storage closet where they weren’t likely to be disturbed, opening the door and pulling the short boy inside before closing the door and locking it.

After this, Tanjirou would know who he would always belong to.

It's Just You and Me, and Me and You by Side_Ponytail

Summary: Genya hated Kamado Tanjiro. Hated his heroics, hated hearing about his accomplishments through the Demon Slayer Corps gossip mill, hated that he broke his fucking arm.

But now, stuck in a cave during a blizzard and forced to play woefully underprepared medic to Kamado Tanjiro himself, Genya might need to accept that he doesn't have everything figured out, just yet.

Demons, blizzards, hypothermia, and a single sleeping bag.

Fuck.

Note that this is a list of personal favorites based on my likes and the many (yet not all existent) fics I’ve read. They’re not put in any particular order and they’re all completed fics. I’m adding some of the tags, but not all of them since I don’t want to make this post extra long, so please read them again once you go to the Ao3 link. And finally, if anyone is anime-only, even if a fic is spoiler free, it’s likely that it’ll have some reference to Genya’s abilities or family relationships, so be careful.

That being said, we proceed!

Don’t Talk to Me by 125389, 9k

(Red Light District Arc, Canon-Typical Violence, Meet-Cute, Strangers to friends to enemies to ???, Humor, Crushes)

A second impression, a star-crossed meeting, a misunderstanding. Each was there to do his job, to keep matters strictly business, but when have things ever been that simple?

Beautifully written, fantastic humor, and just GenTan inevitably falling for each other (both romantically and literally).

To Be The Piece You Need by Gilberrts, 11k

(Alternate Universe - High School, Dialogue Heavy, Friends to Lovers)

Shinazugawa Genya's life is in a downward spiral. He has no friends, his grades are on thin ice, and he can't seem to stop outgrowing his clothes. Then, when his relationship with his brother finally hits rock bottom, Genya has a strange encounter with the sole member of the school's cooking club.

Hurt-Comfort scenario where, of course, Tanjirou is the comfort.

Genya gets overwhelmed pretty easily. Especially when faced with a cute boy.

It wouldn’t be a GenTan rec list without our traditional, fluffy scenario of Genya pining for Tanjirou.

Genya and his family attend the funeral wake for Tanjiro’s father, much to the younger Shinazugawa boy’s dismay. The last thing he wanted to do was spend his evening surrounded by tears and grief, but what he least expected, was to end up on Tanijro’s bedroom floor, comforting the strange boy after his loss.

Genya discovers he is a good person, so sweet despite the gloomy scenario.

Tanjirou lives a normal life as a university student on his last year, struggling financially to maintain a life that's not affordable anymore. On the other side, Genya is back to Japan after 17 years living overseas, ready to ruin his father's attempts to save face after several mistakes.

Both are on the edge, about to fall apart.

What will happen once their different worlds collide?

One of those fics that make you squirm under the blankets at 2am because you just can’t stop reading.

A tale of young love and starry nights by kenmagoesblep, 3k

The sun is already down by the time they arrive and the colorful paper lanterns bathe the streets with a faint whimsical warm glow, highlighting the easy smiles of the festival attendees and the natural glisten of the fresh food in the stalls. Their eyes immediately go to the makeshift gate made with bent bamboo, all adorned with people’s written wishes, to be sent to the heavens by the end of the night.

Genya’s handwriting is shaky but hopefully the crooked words will carry his wish just fine.

Sweet, sweet, sweet.

(Alternate Universe - High School, Fluff and Humor, Genya makes bad life choices, Brunch, No Spoilers)

Genya knows he should just tell the truth. He got frustrated, and thought that strong words of persuasion would revive his bike from the dead. Non-judgemental as he is, Tanjiro would probably just laugh it off and walk home with a smile on his face.

“I got into a fight,” Genya lies, instead.

(or; Genya yells at his bike, lies about his ability to kick ass, and gets indoctrinated into Kamado Tanjiro’s Saturday morning brunch club.)

GenTan + friends in a super silly and funny scenario.

July by 125389, 45k

(Slow Burn, Friends to Lovers, Canon Compliant, Modern Setting, Reincarnation, Manga Finale Spoilers)

It could've been just another weekend, just another month, just another season passing by, but instead they made that summer theirs.

Two teens discovering love naturally and intensely. Tears were shed and hearts were healed. It might or might not be a Fix-it.

Tonight’s sky by Wild_Quetzal, 6k

(Canon Compliant, Missing Scene, Hashira Training Arc, Introspection, Pining, Arguing, Light Angst, Fluff, First Dates, First Kiss, Hopeful Ending)

Tanjirou didn’t recall having watched so many people gathered before, not even when his sister and him went to Asakusa. Everything was so appealing and, at the same time, disorienting for him.

He would’ve been feeling lost if it wasn’t because Genya was beside him.

(Or, sharing a night at a festival with Genya should’ve been easy, if it wasn’t for an unexpected event and Tanjirou himself getting in the way)

Yes, we got to the self-promotion part. I’m especially proud of this one <3

And last but not least!

Todo empezó con (un beso) una despedida by Dogchasingcars, 20k

(Manga Spoilers, Post-Canon, First Kiss, Love Letters, Long-Distance Relationship, Reunited and it feels so good, Family Bonding, Angst with a Happy Ending)

Lo que inicia como una breve despedida y la promesa de reunirse pronto (sellada con un beso), termina volviéndose una larga espera para volver a verse.

Because we’re not gonna leave the Spanish-speaking side of the fandom empty handed and it’s one of my favorite GenTan fics of all time. Melancólico y dulce, todo el dolor vale la pena.
