Yeah, so obviously I already have a "Demon Slayer" au ebxnsbz Look, I don't like tragedies, so there are A LOT of things I don't like in "Demon Slayer", specially how ALL OF THE COOL CHARACTERS DIE!!!!!!!! So I made this au where no one dies :) Everything is beautiful :)

So, here's how things went down:

- The reason why their family didn't get killed was because Nezuko was not attacked at home; she went a few meters out of the house at night 'cause she was worried about Tanjiro not coming back home at the end of the day and felt like something was wrong, so she went to check if he was out there and got attacked right at the edge of the forest, so none of her family members noticed 'cause they were all asleep;

- Tanjiro left Saburo's house right at sunrise 'cause he knew his family would be worried and he wanted to get there before they all woke up, but he saw Nezuko unconscious on the snow and immediately went to get help for her, then found out she turned into a demon, and the confrontation with Giyu happened, and Tanjiro didn't want to risk Nezuko accidentally hurting their family members, so he leaves with her and doesn't say anything to his family 'cause he thought it would be harder on them if they knew about Nezuko and promised himself he would come back once Nezuko was human again;

- he went to train to become a demon slayer, Nezuko fell into a coma, they start going on missons together, meet the Hashira and all that and he didn't hear anything about his family for over 2 years, until one day he's given the mission to go to this small town that was suffering from multiple demon attacks, and that town happened to be his and Nezuko's hometown;

- he was very worried about his family when he heard the news, so he decided to check on them first things first, just make sure that they were okay and then leave without them even noticing he was there, but when Nezuko saw them he couldn't stop her from going to them, so they ended up reunited with their family way sooner than Tanjiro was expecting;

- they took Nezuko being a demon as well as they could have taken it, they were worried, but they loved her, so it didn't really matter. Besides, she was being spoiled 24/7 'cause they liked having an excuse to treat her like a baby and she loves it;

- Tanjiro decided to stay for a while, 'cause then he would be close to the town where the demon attacks were happening and he could get there quickly if he needed and he could make sure their family was okay;

- later they find out that the reason why the town was under so many attacks was becauze Muzan was looking for Tanjiro and Nezuko's family, he knew that Nezuko was getting stronger everyday despite the odds and he wanted her to be on his side, but thought she was already "too domesticated", so he wanted to turn his family because if they shared her blood there was a possibility that they could become as strong as her as demons, so the Hashira helped realocate the family and they all moved to the butterfly mansion until it was safe for them to return home.

About their appearences: Hanako and Takeo's hair look different then it does in canon 'cause I tried to age them up a bit, I couldn't think of anything to do about Rokuta and Shigeru besides making them look taller, also because I imagine Takeo and Hanako kind of "taking over" Tanjiro's and Nezuko's roles after they left since they were the two oldest ones now, and I gave them a lot of narrative importance in my au. Kie also looks way older, but her original design looks just Nezuko's, like, she doesn't seem old enough to be a mom sbxmsnxn and that was really bugging me so I added the little wrinkles; besides, even if she was a really young mom, by the time Tanjiro was 15 she would be AT LEAST entering her thirties, not to mention the stress, so she would be at least starting to get some wrinkles. And absolutely NOTHING can convince me that Nezuko wouldn't be clingest person alive with Kie, she got attached to Tamayo just because she reminded her of Kie, so, yeah, she's a total baby with her (affectionate).

Fanfic: Pace the Night [Hanging Out]

Fandom: Noblesse Summary: Just a regular night of the full moon. Rating: PG Genre: General Word count: 2,647 Total word count: 40,894 Status: Work in progress Other parts in the collection

Tao yawned as he headed up the stairs. All the updates had finally complied and had sorted all the issues he'd wanted dealt with. It was dark o'clock and that meant there was only a few hours before the sun rose ag-

There was someone on the landing. Breathing heavily and huh, Tao hadn't seen anyone on the feeds before he left the security room.

He peeked through the banister to-

Oh.

Definitely not human-shaped, but still vaguely human with long limbs and paws that ended in fingers. Covered in silver fur with a tail to boot, Tao could still recognise the placement of scars all over the werewolf's body.

"Heya, M," Tao said, M-21's head snapping to him, ears pricked in Tao's direction. M-21 was bigger like this, about a head taller and wider.

The reaction wasn't what Tao expected from him, not when Tao hadn't been that quiet coming up the stairs. "Sooo, if ya understand me, lift your right hand. Paw?" It was definitely a hand, but it also had toe beans and that was a super major distinction right there.

M-21 stared at him, not moving.

...Hm. It was hard to tell if that was him not understanding what Tao said, or if that was M-21 understanding him perfectly and refusing to do it.

"Well, you haven't attacked me, so that's a good sign," Tao said, walking up the rest of the stairs, "but you haven't tried talkin' or doing anything that shows you're still, uh, thinking." 'Still in there' probably wasn't right. This was temporary, just like the other times M-21's transformation had upgraded.

Tao held out a hand, M-21 eyeing it with narrowed eyes.

And like every other time M-21 had gotten stronger, he'd slept and eaten his weight in food afterwards. Since Tao didn't know how long M-21 had been transformed for already... "You wanna get something to eat?"

Maybe M-21's transformation was different if it was -Tao peeked out the window- a full moon, yep. However it was affecting M-21's transformation. If it was. It could just be a coincidence.

M-21 leaned forward, sniffing Tao's hand.

All at once, Tao saw M-21 relax and pressed into Tao's hand, his tail flicking side to side.

Tao grinned. "You recognise me now, huh? I smell like pack?" M-21 didn't react to that either, huffing instead when Tao scritched him behind the ears.

Yeah, definitely wasn't thinking like himself.

Tao snickered under his breath as M-21 pushed harder with a growl. "You like that, huh?" he cooed, taking out his phone and recording a video. He knew M-21 was going to hate being recorded like this when he wasn't aware of what he was doing, but Tao also knew M-21 was going to immediately think he attacked everyone.

So proof was needed that M-21 hadn't completely lost his mind and had tried to hurt them.

Tao turned his head at the click of a door opening down the hallway. He waved at Takeo's peeking eye through the slit in the door. No surprise Takeo had heard them.

"We're gonna make a midnight snack!" Or whatever time it was.

"Do you think that will help?" Takeo said as he stepped out his room. As soon as he did, M-21 went over, jamming his snout into Takeo's hair.

M-21's tail wagged even harder and Tao was so glad he still had the video running and caught that.

Inspection done, M-21 lifted his head to look between them.

"Help? No idea! But somethin' to fill the time to see if this'll last the entire full moon? Sure!" Tao grabbed M-21 by the elbow, hooking his other arm around Takeo's. "We're heading downstairs!"

They followed him down, though it took M-21 a second to figure out where to place his paws and Tao wasn't really sure how M-21's legs worked. He'd seen them on other animals, but seeing M-21 move... Tao wasn't surprised M-21 seemed more comfortable on all fours on the stairs.

Frankenstein's kitchen was big, but felt that bit smaller with the three of them in it, M-21's tail thumping against cabinets every once in a while.

"So what have we got..." Tao said, rummaging through the fridge. Enough ingredients to make multiple meals for sure. If Tao knew how to use them all. He could look up a recipe but hmmm.

For now it was probably better if they made something quick.

So Takeo was on cutting duty, Tao on cooking duty and M-21-

"Hey, hey!" Tao yelped, pushing M-21's snout away from the sizzling pan for the third time. "Yeah, it smells great, but it's not ready yet! I don't wanna see if you've got a human or werewolf stomach and if you can eat raw meat or not!"

M-21 wasn't listening to him, eyes and ears focused on the pen. It was a good sign M-21 had enough control to not just grab the food straight from the pan, but it would have been nice if M-21 listened to him too!

"And I don't think it'd feel great if your snout or eyes got burned by the oil, yeah?" Tao continued, still pushing M-21's snout away. "Even if you'd heal straight away."

They'd managed to slip an apron over M-21's head though it did get buried into his fur, but Tao wasn't sure there was any kind of mask or goggles that would fit around M-21's current face. And if M-21 would tolerate them for more than a minute before ripping them off anyway.

Still, that was also a good addition to Tao's photo album.

They eventually finished cooking and the kitchen didn't look like they'd had a fight or two in it, which was a lot of progress!

"Okay, M!" Tao said, turning to him after hanging up his own apron. "Time to take this off!"

M-21 watched him approach, but as soon as Tao touched the apron, M-21 pulled back with a growl, ears flat.

Huh. "Do you wanna keep it on?" Tao said, lifting his hands away. The way Frankenstein cleaned everything, the apron probably didn't smell like the rest of them, but maybe it was M-21's mind returning a bit and he wanted clothes.

Another low grow, but M-21 was relaxing the longer Tao didn't try to grab the apron again.

"You can keep it then." Tao picked up a plate instead. At worst, the apron would have werewolf fur clinging onto it afterwards.

The three of them squeezed into the couch in the living room, M-21's tail laying across Takeo's lap while the movie played on the TV, barely above mute.

M-21 probably wasn't going to remember it since he didn't remember anything when he was instinctual. Tao probably wasn't going to remember because he'd been up the whole night already. So it was probably Takeo who was most likely to remember what happened.

They could watch it again later.

M-21 didn't seem to be paying much attention to the screen and eating whatever he could get his paws on, Takeo pulling over another plate before M-21 had finished.

"I think we should make bigger portions next time," Takeo said as M-21 took the plate from him and then tried to eat it all in one bite. Wolfed it down, heh.

Tao snickered. "We could just raid the fridge instead." Maybe M-21 was so interested in the food because he was that hungry.

Tao pulled out his phone, setting an alert to buy more food before the next full moon. Frankenstein's fridge was always packed but who knew what could happen. Plus, M-21 could choose what he wanted to eat too.

Since he had his phone anyway, Tao took a couple more selfies with M-21 with a bunch of different poses. M-21 knew what he was doing because M-21's ears swivelled towards Tao, but M-21 stayed focused on eating.

"Do you think it would help if M-21 ate before he transformed?" It should mean M-21 was less hungry after, but cooking had been a nice time filler. And they would have been less fun stuff for Tao to film. ...But Tao could easily find more stuff to do and even M-21 standing there was cool enough to take photos of.

Maybe he could figure out a way for M-21's suit to stretch to fit his transformation. He would need to figure out how to make a suit that didn't get destroyed during a regular transformation in the first place though... Tao had already had three prototypes and none of them had worked!

"At the rate he's eating?" Takeo said, reaching for another plate. "I think he'd be eating before and after his transformation.

"Yeah," Tao said with a laugh. Either way, M-21 would probably eat the same amount. "Could still help though!" They could test it out next time.

They needed to make a second trip to the kitchen after M-21 cleared everything on the table and M-21 wasn't hovering as much around the food while Tao and Takeo cooked.

"You just like our company, huh, M?" Tao said, watching as M-21 hooked his chin over Takeo's shoulder, peering at what Takeo was doing.

"Hrr."

It was a response, which was more than they had an hour ago.

When they got back to the couch, M-21 curled up in the centre, looking like he didn't have a spine.

"I think he's going to sleep," Takeo said, sitting down next to him and Tao could see M-21's eyes were staying closed more than they were open.

"Aww, you wanted to make sure we ate too?"

"Hrr." M-21's tail thumped against Takeo's lap all of once before settling down again.

Tao buried his hand in M-21's fur, seeing an ear twitch but M-21 didn't open an eye. Tao could feel the deeper second coat, which was probably why M-21 was fine in just the apron.

Tao yawned as M-21 settled down, covering more of Tao's lap. Maybe it was time for a nap - M-21 probably had a few more hours before he transformed back, and he shouldn't do much if he was sleeping during it.

* * * M-21 woke up warmer than usual, and his bed was lumpier than usual too.

And he was naked.

Almost naked. He was wearing something over his chest and a blanket covered the rest of him.

M-21 cracked an eye open, seeing the living room table in front of him. It was covered in empty plates.

The reason why his 'bed' felt so strange was because he was sprawled across two laps. He didn't have to look to know he was with Tao and Takeo.

They must have been watching something together and fallen asleep but... M-21 couldn't remember what they were watching. He couldn't remember going downstairs with them either.

The last thing he remembered was going to his room and then... And then...?

"Good morning, M-21," Takeo said, arching his back.

And why was he naked? "What happened last night?" Had he lost his mind?

"You transformed," Tao said, phone already in his hand, probably checking for the latest updates, "and went instinctual."

M-21's stomach dropped. He'd lost his m-

"Here." Tao shoved his phone under M-21's nose.

On the screen, M-21 could see...himself. He assumed the werewolf on the screen was him since Tao was showing him it.

It was a more complete transformation, no skin visible under the fur apart from the familiarly placed scars.

Also wearing a pink apron that could barely contain the fur under it.

M-21 lifted the blanket, revealing the same pink apron. It also released a cloud of silver fur from under it.

"The biggest danger you were was to the food," Tao said as he swiped to the side, showing a video of Takeo handing a plate to...his transformed self. The plate wasn't smashed but held between large paws while transformed-him ate it face first.

"That doesn't make sense," M-21 said, Tao showing him another video of transformed-him helping in the kitchen. "The last time I lost my mind-"

"You were in the middle of a fight," Takeo finished for him.

Tao nodded. "Yeah, you just carried on from what you were doing before your transformation leveled up. Here, I found you on the landing upstairs and all you wanted to do was eat." Tao paused and then peered at M-21. "How you feelin' anyway? Hungry?"

M-21 took a second to figure out what his body was wanting. "No?" Normally after a new transformation, it was like he hadn't eaten in a week and... The table did look like he'd managed that.

"Awesome!" Tao said, clapping M-21 on the shoulder. "We'll do that again next time." Tao flopped back against the couch with a sigh. "Buuut we should get up before Boss does."

M-21 felt a chill run up his spine, seeing the lightening sky out the window. They would get a raised eyebrow if Frankenstein caught them in the middle of a mess.

Somehow that was more threatening that anything that had happened at the Union.

Together, it didn't take them long to clear everything away and clean up the kitchen.

"Not one broken glass?" M-21 said, wiping his hands on the apron. Even when M-21 still had his mind, they usually broke something.

"I know, right?" Tao cackled as he threw his arms around M-21 and Takeo's shoulders. "C'mon, let's go so we can pretend we weren't up the entire night!"

Frankenstein would still know. Somehow. They'd left a cup out of place somewhere that he could feel through the door.

M-21 and Takeo carried Tao up the stairs since he didn't let go, but Tao didn't hop off when they neared his room. Takeo didn't move towards his own door either.

M-21 looked at them and Tao grinned.

"We've spent the whole night together already, so why split up now? Pluuus," Tao continued, arm tightening around M-21's neck for a second, "we know you, and you need company and distraction after somethin' like this."

No, he didn - Take was already walking towards M-21's door, Tao lifting his legs to swing again and...

The last few times his transformation had changed, and he'd finally gone to bed afterwards, after all the blood tests, after all the checks to see if it had only been a temporary boost, after seeing what all the changes were...

His brain wouldn't shut the fuck up even when the rest of him was fucking exhausted. Circling the same thoughts, not even making any kind-

"Oi," Tao said, as they entered M-21's room, "I can see what's happening! No thinking! It's sleepin' time!"

M-21 snorted, because they all knew the only way they could stop him thinking would be...if he was sleeping. Sometimes he couldn't escape even then, dreams and nightmares-

M-21 swore as his legs buckled - no, someone had swept them, and his head thumped against someone's shoulder. He glowered at Takeo's smile, because he knew it was a distraction, something to pull his thoughts away, and he had felt the blip in his thoughts just enough that his brain didn't latch onto it again to restart the cycle.

"...Thanks," M-21 said as Takeo lowered him to bed.

"Anytime." Tao leaned in to kiss M-21's forehead and then snuggled up against him, Takeo taking the other side.

He could already feel his thoughts trying to surge again, to remind him that he was a monster, he wasn't human anymore.

He knew that. Of course he knew that already. He'd seen it whenever he went to Frankenstein's lab.

But Tao and Takeo were there, their bodies pressed up against him as their breathing filled his ears. He could listen to them instead, focus on them and maybe then his thoughts could settle and he would fall asleep.

He would try to deal with what happened when he woke up.
