Grieving. 💔❤️‍🩹

People say grief is something to get over, but as someone who grieves many different types of loss currently in my life, there is no "getting over it."

It's not a linear thing. You don't go through the five stages once and then you're done. It's a lasting ache, that will be less noticeable as time goes on but is never not present. There are days where it will come back up.

For me, it's coming up again. The anniversary of my mom's death is on Monday. (I'm posting this Friday, Aug 16 for reference.) It's hard not to notice, even after 22 years, because it felt like my body remembered it regardless of what I tried to do to distract myself.

So I wanted to draw some sort of comfort pose for G-Force... But I feel like Genya can identify with the grief that comes with death, and with the abandonment issues that drove him into survival. So I wanted for him to be the one comforted...

And Gideon would 💯 cry with him.

More than anything...

This is how Gideon sees Genya <3

[definitelynotgideon]

"Heaven Is Where You Are."

A Genya Shinazugawa x OC One-Shot.

A/n: a fun little side tangent based on a theory I made up about Gideon. This *isn't* what will happen in the main fic, but is a fun little au.

CW: MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH SPOILERS FOR DEMON SLAYER.

Word count: 1,636

“Genya…”

“Genya wake up…”

The gentle, familiar voice wafts into Genya's mind. He's in an area of the unconscious, a place between sleep and wakefulness. Everything is a comforting dark behind his closed eyes… There is no pain here.

“Wake up, darling…”

The voice again… what had Genya been doing… before this? Was everything previous… a nightmare? His memory is fuzzy. He's so tired…

But he peers his eyes open… and he's in a forest.

And… it's so strangely familiar. But then he realizes why. He's… seen this forest before but not in *person.*

He's seen it in the eyes of his lover.

“...Gideon?” He asks, dazed. Sitting up carefully he realizes there is no pain in his body… no dull aching, no cuts… he felt *light.* He looked around, getting his bearings. And then he saw Gideon knelt next to him.

The silver haired man cocks his head and smiles at him softly. “Hello my love…” he coos. Somehow… it's even more gentle, more clear than Genya ever realized. Perhaps *this* was a dream.

“Do you remember anything that happened before you rested?” The silver haired man inquired.

Genya hummed, searching the ground as if trying to find a physical part of that answer and he comes up empty. He doesn't remember what happened. So he shakes his head softly. “No… I don't. Why?”

“...It's for the best that you don't remember all of that, love.” He takes his hands gently into his own. They are impossibly soft, warm… Genya gazes into his eyes… the tranquil forests. They were his…

“Genya, my beloved. You've passed away.”

The forests were *Gideon's realm…* Genya soon realizes several things quickly, but Gideon quickly rests a healing hand on his chest to calm him. A gift of angels, that he could use here as he helps his lover cope.

The things he realizes then sort themselves out in a less panicked order.

Genya Shinazugawa had died in battle… He remembered Sanemi being there. Remembered telling him that he should live a happy life, as his final wish to him.

Gideon, who had come into the fray to assist Genya and Muichiro, also appeared to have died with his comrades. However… it was always Gideon’s destiny to do so. He realized it days after falling in love with Genya on Earth… that one day, he would die just before Genya would…

Because Gideon was a fated angel. A deliverer. He was sent to eventually bring Genya to final judgement… to help him enter into the afterlife.

Gideon slowly starts to reveal a truer form of himself. He keeps the parts that Genya fell in love with, but glows with happiness, and four large angel wings make themselves present from his back. His eyes embody the forest around them even moreso… and Genya feels safe.

“Everything will be alright,” Gideon assures Genya, helping him rise to his feet with no effort at all. “You'll find that in the afterlife, time ceases to exist. You'll see your loved ones soon, as if you all arrived at the same time.”

Genya's human soul processes everything… and he smiles with sparkling tears in his eyes.

“I can be with my family again?”

Gideon smiles, blinking slowly as he nods affirmatively. “Your mother, and all your siblings. You'll be able to see them. And… and I'll be with you as well, Genya. If you'd like for me to stay, I will stay with you.”

Genya hugs him, sobbing happily. “Of course I want you to stay!!”

Gideon glows even more, hugging him back and exuding his happiness through his lover. “I’m glad… now come on. Let's go see everyone.”

Without letting go of Genya, Gideon is able to flick his wrist and open a portal of sorts. He carries Genya through it… and within moments they are in the courtyard of heaven proper.

So many people are in the courtyard of light, being reunited with loved ones. Genya's entire family is nearby, including Sanemi who had just been delivered as well.

Gideon smiles at Sanemi and gestures to Genya, who immediately runs to his family members, embracing Sanemi first and the hardest as they both cry and laugh. Gideon had been waiting to see this moment… it made everything better, more complete for the souls who had to sacrifice so much in their earthly life. In his time there, he'd gained empathy and he felt it bloom so fully that he couldn't resist happy tears flowing from his cheeks.

Everything was blissful. As it should be. Genya was with all of his dearest loved ones, and his friends were also nearby. Gideon was certain they'd make their rounds.

But as this was going on… another angel approaches Gideon. He leans over, eyes locked onto Genya.

“...Why did you bring a demon here…?”

Gideon doesn't waver. “Genya is not a demon.”

“Fool. I can smell the unconditional love clouding your judgement for him. He was corrupted… we cannot allow that here, it will spread.”

Gideon turns to face the angel. He's taller, and of higher stature. Closer to God, but not empathetic to the human condition. Gideon’s mirthful appearance ceases as he gives the taller being a stern look.

“With all due respect, I think you should leave the final judgement up to *God,* Seraph. Genya was devout in his waking life. He *has a place here.*”

The taller angel sighs. “As you wish, deathling.”

“It's *Gideon.*”

“Whatever.” He claps his hands once, sending only Genya, Gideon and himself to another realm of Heaven. An unknown part to Gideon… and he carefully goes to gather up Genya into his arms.

The newcomer is panicked. “Wh-whats happening now?”

Gideon soothes him, strokes down his back, a soft song to his consciousness. “It's alright love. Everyone is judged by God before they enter heaven.”

Genya trembles, because he senses Seraph but can't see him. He's so far apart from humanity that he can't even be perceived by human souls at a face level.

As God makes himself into an entity, the room is filled with a calm. He smiles to his angels and to Genya, and the two angels bow. Genya also bows, kneeling.

“...Seraph… why have you summoned me to this deliverer and his fated soul?”

“The deliverer Gideon wishes to make the argument for a *demon* to enter heaven, your grace.”

“...My child Genya is not a Demon… but he does possess the dark marks of one. Gideon?”

“He ate demons, in order to fight them. Dearest father… please, Genya has prayed every day, he's a gentle, kind soul and does not deserve to be in the place where the demons continuously devour one another alive…”

“...My angel… he cannot enter. He is a devourer.”

“I-”

“Gideon. I made you to be a compassionate, loving deliverer of souls. It aids them into the afterlife to be familiar with their deliverer… but you have fallen in love with him.”

Gideon holds Genya close, as if shielding him. “I won't…”

“Do not defy me, Gideon.”

He already knew he would. Gideon had taken a branched path from God's plan… he was never intended to fall in love with Genya. He was meant to deliver him after the final fight, and to be able to part with him at judgement…

Such angels who do this are out of alignment with God, no matter how pure their intentions. Lucifer was one such angel as well…

“...Genya does not deserve hell!”

God is silent…

“Why can't you see the good in your child?! Why is there even a judgement?!”

“Gideon. You’ve defied me.”

“If he goes to hell *I go too!*”

“Gideon *no!”* Genya tries to shout from his protective hold. “You don't deserve that!! Repent! I'll… I'll go! I knew it was a possibility… I'm ready to accept it. Please…”

Gideon looks to Genya with a loving defiance in his eyes. “Where you go, I go. I’ll hold you above the flames if I must.”

God opens a portal into a dark realm.

“Let him say goodbye to his family!!” Gideon snarls.

But Seraph throws them both into the dark hole… and it closes behind them..

For several minutes… Gideon clings to Genya, not letting him go in the void. “I'm here… I'm here. It's going to be okay. I promise you.”

“Gideon you've damned yourself for my sake!!”

“You've always been worth it.”

Genya weeps. Gideon does too, and in the dark there was only them for a long while.

Time in the afterlife stops. The inevitable always happens as it should… but the two are not sent to hell. They have, instead… been banished to purgatory.

Which is where Gideon's forests existed.

The trees become visible as if a wish were coming true. The golden light on the leaves filters through and Gideon looks to Genya. He feels heavier… like he did back on earth. The pull of gravity on a human soul.

Gideon had fallen. His wings would no longer fly. He could no longer access the portal to heaven. While this wasn't hell, it was still banishment. But Gideon was grateful that Genya would not burn…

“I'm so sorry Genya… I wish… they could have seen reason. You deserve heaven…”

Genya shakes his head still sobbing. “No *you* deserve heaven!! You're an angel, you didn't deserve to fall for my sake!”

He gently cups Genya's face. His hands are still warm. He can still comfort Genya… though he was fallen, he was still a angel.

“I'd fall in a million lifetimes for you, Genya.”

He pulls him close, and Genya clutches him, hiding his face. Gideon continues to speak softly to him.

“I love you. Anywhere with you is home. We can make this our heaven… I'd rather be nowhere with you, than somewhere without you.”

Immortality

King of Death!Gideon Azulyss

I haven't talked about very many of my AUs on here, but this is one of my favorites.

I love the idea that Gideon always embodies some sort of 'death' symbolism in the stories he's in. I've played with ideas and written a shorter one-shot about him being Genya's reaper. So when I started world building with a friend after being *way* too excited about Epic, I knew I wanted for him to eventually be a nod to Hades/the Hades equivalent.

I talk more below lol. Just thought it was getting long-

The butterfly in his hand is significant in more than one way. He's normally scared of butterflies because in his nightmares, his loved ones are devoured by hoards of black butterflies. He's convinced that they can not only eat people but trap their souls, being able to literally reap them from bodies by their probosci. Lol.

However, butterflies have a lot of symbolism regarding the afterlife and are sometimes theorized to be able to go between realms. They are often regarded by people as visitors of passed on souls. So the black butterfly eventually becomes a companion for Gideon, helping him get over his fear and eventually accept his upcoming role as King of the dead.

Anyhoosers.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk lol
