How would each of the Savanaclaw trio react to you asking to touch/scratch behind their ears? Just out of genuine curiosity.

This is written under the assumption that the boys have some degree of feelings for Reader at this point~ ;3c

. . .

Leona — Somewhere between baffled by why you'd want to touch him and just plain not giving a fuck; sure, whatever, knock yourself out. Despite the surface-level apathy, Leona is nowhere near as apathetic on the matter as he wants you to think. For some reason, you actually want to touch him— and you're brave enough to come right out and ask. He's flustered, and struggling not to show it.

Ruggie — Allows it with little complaint… so long as you realize the petting session comes with a price. Demands snacks as payment if you wanna touch him that bad, but the attempted bribery is really more in the hopes of covering up how flustered he is. It’s been a long time since anyone wanted to be all sweet with him like this, and the affection is hard to face without some kind of emotional diversion.

Jack — Grumbles about what a ridiculous request you're making, but stoically tolerates the petting nonetheless. Well... as much as "eyes averted, arms crossed, half-sitting on his own tail so it can't start to wag" counts for "stoic". Brushes the incident off as a one-time matter, no big deal— but catches himself fantasizing about your touch over and over again afterwards, much to his immense embarrassment.

would it mean much to soldier au vil if his new handler brought him a hairbrush and a little bit of makeup?

TWST Soldier Au info

Yes. It means a lot to him, for sure— but that comes with the lingering, pestering doubt of what do you want from him in return? At the same time that having any shred of control over his appearance and hygiene is a precious, rare relief, the fact that you're giving him these things at all must mean that you expect him to be in your debt for it. Whether it's loyalty or something more personal, any excess kindness is bound to come with a cost. Vil will take the gifts, of course— he's much too desperate not to—, but then he'll be left stressing himself sick over what he might have to do to repay you.

Hello can I request fem riddle jamil vil & malleus(separately) reacting to mele reader colling them "babygirl"

Olso I'd be really interested if you made a genderbend twist au

*sigh* Genderswap Aus always interest me, so I am deeply tempted. :`D Not enough girl whump passing through fandom these days, so it's a delightful change of pace... maybe I'll try one here someday, if y'all think it sounds fun too??

And as usual, this is written under the assumption that there's some degree of ✨the feelings✨ happening for Reader already~ ;3c

. . .

Riddle — Turns promptly, violently red. You get a few seconds of that adorably flustered expression while Riddle is still too shocked to respond... before she launches into an explosive lecture about how improper it is to throw that kind of word around! The yelling is very much worth it, though. Her blushy face is cute~

Jamil — Depending on how honest she lets herself be around you by that point, Jamil either rolls her eyes or shoots you the nastiest glare she can muster... before promptly retreating into her hoodie to hide the withering embarrassment that follows. Surely, you're only saying such a sappy pet name to mess with her... right?

Vil — At the same time that such a flattering petname goes right to her already sky-high ego, you're still going to get scolded a bit. She appreciates the attention, but do try to be a bit more respectful about it next time, alright? If you're going to compliment her, something like 'my queen' would be far more appropriate.

Malleus — She's halfway between baffled and intrigued— what exactly did you mean by that, hm? Were you implying something with that unusual title, or is it just another unfamiliar way of expressing fondness? Be careful what answer you give; Malleus very well might start calling you 'babygirl' too, if she gets the wrong impression.

Akaza, Sanemi, Genya Grab the fingers, hands, or edge of the reader's clothing with your teeth as a sign of affection. A sign that they choose to do no harm. The reader allows, expressing trust (only a little surprised the first time). Fluff and calm (gt)

Akaza

For him, it's a quick, yet tentative, careful bite around your fingers, done half on reflex when his head is buzzing with soft, too-soft affection, and his body moves without thinking. Akaza's sharp canines close lightly around your hand, not so much as pricking the skin despite their harsh points, while his eyes are squeezed shut, like he's hiding from whatever reaction this rare gesture of fondness and trust might earn. His tongue swipes over your skin just once, more adoration than tasting— and then he pulls away, retreats back into the usual wary, respectful distance he keeps from you and yet still flushed up to his ears, so adorably shy.

Sanemi

The gesture is slow and deliberate, with him. Sanemi knows better, knows he shouldn't be doing something so easy to interpret as wrong— but if he was biting you in any seriousness, you both know there would be blood. So... he trusts you. Reluctantly, miserably, fearing every second that he'll come to regret it, but trusting nonetheless. His jaws stay gently latched around your hand, barely resting the edges of viciously sharp teeth against fragile skin, and yet painstakingly careful not to cause you any pain. And somehow, more so than if you'd shoved him away like he was expecting, it hurts that you're willingly trusting him in return.

Genya

He nips at your sleeve on reflex when your affection gets to be too much— like an overstimulated cat lashing out mid-petting. There's a split second where Genya's head is so empty that he doesn't think about what he's doing until his teeth are already snagged in saliva-damp cloth, eyes squinched shut while a blissed-out little whine tears up his throat. Then, his brain catches up to what he's doing, and he recoils back just as fast, stammering useless apologies for the stupid, stupid reflex that's sure to get him punished now. Even once he knows you're not angry with him, the embarrassment takes a while to fade. He didn't mean to do it—!

Execution program's Mizuki... Since demons are considered pets, and we know her history with neighborhood pets... Would she eat them? Like whoops, a neighborhood's demon went missing... And the cute girl down the street is holding a little barbecue party for the neighborhood! :D

(Some Mizuki info, for context: 1, 2, 3)

Hmmmm... perhaps? I'm not sure if consuming demon flesh would still cause issues in this setting (like with Genya in canon), or if their powers are too weakened to have much of an effect by this point, but that would be one potential problem stopping her. Also, if they still dissolve/crumble to dust when they're killed (or when parts are removed), that could also make consuming the meat difficult...

If not for those issues, though, she absolutely would. Straight-up human cannibalism isn't past her moral boundaries (or at least, wouldn't have been if she'd kept going), so human-looking creatures that are thought of as nothing but animals? No qualms for her there!

What would happen if Akaza was used gently rather than roughly?

The previous post that this is referencing~ This is meant to take place in more or less the same scenario, just with a nicer version of the smutty part. TW for non-con/coercion in both that post and this one.

. . .

• It's difficult, even then, for Akaza to tolerate so much touching. You've been kind to him already, so unbearably, bafflingly kind, and at first, this seems like just one more way of showing affection that he's too broken to understand. He's started to accept your touch, by now, allows gentle hands ruffling his hair or stroking down the ink-crossed path of his spine, so shouldn't this be acceptable too...? Even though his skin crawls and his chest flutters with reflexive instinct to get away, Akaza wants to will himself to be good and learn to like it. He's learned to like everything else so far, after all.

• Since no previous owner ever dared get close to him for this purpose, the actions are entirely unfamiliar... and Akaza is delightfully reactive. Now that pain and fear don't get in the way of his responses, he arches into every brush of skin before his mind has time to catch up. Sex is overwhelming, terribly so, all of the contact and closeness and all-consuming warmth— it's no wonder that he feels cornered and half-panicked from it all, right...?

• So long as you're gentle with him in this too, Akaza won't lose his trust in you. You're still treating him softly, so this can't be anything bad— is how he processes it, too used to his fucked-up nervous system registering any contact as a threat to fully question why this new form of closeness makes him feel so jittery and trapped. Surely, he'll get used to it with time. You're only trying to be affectionate, he knows that by now, so Akaza grits his teeth and doesn't complain. Even if he's uncomfortable, he's been through much worse, inflicted by humans who didn't care like you do.

Remember the soldier au where the boys get a new master who is kind to them after their old, cruel master is assigned elsewhere? What would that be like with Azul and the eel twins?

TWST Soldier Au info

The previous posts, for context~

. . .

Azul

He doesn't trust you in the slightest... but also tries not to let that distrust show. Since you're starting fresh, if his behavior is absolutely perfect, he might make a good enough impression to earn better treatment than his last superior offered. Thus, Azul makes an effort to be as polite, obedient, and eager to please as possible, despite the constant worrying hanging over his head of when you'll start being cruel to him, too. No matter how kindly you treat him (and no matter how badly he wants to give in and accept it), trusting that your kindness is honest would be just plain naive.

Floyd

Much like his own mood swings, Floyd is fully expecting you to turn around and get just as nasty as his previous handler at any second. You might be acting all nice and friendly now, but as soon as you get sick of dealing with him, that's bound to change. He doesn't adjust his behavior to try to make your leniency last, but the persistent kindness is disarming. And while he can usually just brush it off and ignore your strange behavior— sometimes, your baseless patience is infuriating. Why are you bothering? You're not getting anything out of it, so why waste your time being nice?

Jade

Although he has plenty of reason to doubt that your kindness is at all genuine, Jade decides to wait and observe before coming to any solid conclusions. He keeps an emotional distance, however, refusing to let himself get attached to your kindness just in case there comes a time when it's ripped away. How you feel about him is irrelevant. If you're fond enough of him to be nice is irrelevant. So long as he's avoiding any damage that could impair his function, emotional little details like those don't, and can't, matter. He'll just take advantage of your kindness while it lasts.

What are your thoughts on the sibling relationships in Demon Slayer and how they play into the character interactions + narrative of the story? I feel like there's not as many stories that have so many highlighted sibling relationships (Kamado, Shinazugawa, Shinobu, Rengoku, Giyuu, even Zenitsu to a degree) that have so much emphasis in the storyline and character psyche. Do you have a particular favorite? Do you have a not favorite? Which dynamic do you enjoy the most? Which one do you think should/could have been explored more?

I personally am extremely biased towards Kyojurou and Senjurou, I think about them and what they had and why they had and what they lost literally all the time, but I also think that the Shinobu sisters are really underrated. Shinobu being the middle child turned oldest really just..... It makes so much sense when we see her character now, but it's so sad.

I really enjoy how heavy the theme of "sibling dynamics" is within Kimetsu's narrative! It makes for a lot of fascinating compare-and-contrast character foils amidst the cast, as well as delightful nuance in how each of those dynamics is set up and displayed.

My favorite sibling relationship is by far Sanemi and Genya. It hurts me, so much. :`) Their lives were already horrible, and losing the relationship they had with each other (or at least having it fractured and distant for so long) took away the last bit of happiness either of them had at that point. I love the tragedy involved in that one fatal miscommunication, and how these two sensitive, yet emotionally backlogged dumbasses spent years too scared to face that miscommunication and attempt to fix things.

(It's also just, so very funny to me that their insane battle strategies seem to be a shared genetic trait. One brother will use his own blood as a weapon and beat the living fuck out of demons until the sun comes up if he has no proper way to behead them, the other one somehow decided that taking bites out of his enemies was a reasonable way to fight. They're insane, I love them. <33)

I don't think I have a distinct least favorite dynamic, but as for ones that I wish had been explored more... it would have been neat to see more of Gyuutarou and Daki. Especially in active comparison to Tanjirou and Nezuko! Also, I feel like Yoriichi and Kokushibou could have had something so very dysfunctional going on, and a little more insight into either of their perspectives (especially Kokushibou's, imo) could have done wonders to elaborate on that.

While I was typing this, I also had a vague sort of thought about Douma and his lack of a sibling dynamic, which seems interesting when paired with his overall theme of "missing something". I'll have to think about that one more, but the Only Child Situation there feels a bit thematically significant now... >3>

What is Tamayo's story in the Pet!Au? I imagine her at one point having to be with Muzan for a bit, considering the manga...

Considering her vicious hatred for Muzan, I think Tamayo would have been willing to assist in the early stages of the domestication process, either through providing information about demon biology and weaknesses, or suggestions for how to actually hurt him. She likely didn't know just how far the plan for "defeating" him would later spread, and/or was so desperate to remove him from power that the future consequences didn't matter at the time.

As "thanks" for her assistance in taming the demon race as a whole, Tamayo would have been allowed a pretty cushy life after that. Not a nice one, still dehumanized and forced into obedience like every other demon at that point, but less awful than most of their kind. She's still used as something of a research subject from time to time, however, either to test new substances and their effects on demons (her feedback has been so very helpful in the past, after all) or to give insight on any Muzan-related issues that arise. She has a lot of inner turmoil about if what she did was worth it, but there's still some peace in knowing Muzan can't ruin any more lives.

I want to make a soft angst fic for Shinjuro cause he's got the cute dad bod but I don't know what to do with him, whats your take on Shinjuro's reaction to an owner that actually cares for a thrown away breeder like him?

It's... been a while since you sent this. >.> Hopefully the answer doesn't come too late to be helpful...

. . .

Initially, expect resistance. After so long spent miserable and hopeless, accepting any kind of positive change is tough. Having someone care about him (and for more than his potential value to them, at that) feels strange and wrong, like you have to be either lying, or pursuing some misguided savior fantasy that's bound to fall apart as soon as you realize that he won't be an easy fix. In a lot of ways, Shinjurou would rather choose the familiar state of numbness and despair over the potential of his life actually starting to improve— getting his hopes up, even a little bit, is terrifying when there's so slim of a chance that anything good will last.

Instead, he tries to snuff that hope out before it has any chance to grow. He's grouchy, distant, and difficult, cooperating with your requests with the bare minimum of obedience required not to be outright disrespectful. If you see the harsh reality of how badly you're wasting your time on him, you're more likely to give up and stop drawing out this bizarre act of pretending like you care. Then, everything can go back to normal and he can stop feeling so agonizingly guilty over getting so much better than he deserves.

No but just imagine it.

Chuuya comes back from a months-long mission overseas, and his partner is not there, nowhere to be found. Immediately, dread crawls up his body, the possibility that in all those months something happened and he finally succeeded in killing himself. He heard about oda's death, so that's a very valid possibility. He goes out in the streets to search for him, he goes to the river, the hospitals, the container, he searches every corner of Yokohama but he's just not there. Vanished. Chuuya goes home, defeated: it happened again. But this time, there's no grave he could mourn on. He opens a bottle of the most expensive wine he owns. He toasts, alone. He grieves.

Four years later, chuuya once again comes back from yet another dislocated mission. Mori called for an emergency meeting with the executives, but the reason is unknown. Walking through the PM's hq corridors, he hears surprised, shaken whispers spreading everywhere. "Dazai is here. We caught him. He's our prisoner".

Chuuya rushes to the dungeons, heart in his throat. It couldn't be... right? He finally reaches the cell's door, opens it and -

"Ah, what a lovely view. Not even ten billion of the greatest works of art could outclass it".

He's alive.

Relief.

What are your favourite happy moments from Innocents?

Ohhh boy, that's a bit of a tough question. XD I think even most of the "happy" moments are still shadowed by the pain of surrounding events, but I'll see what I can find...

Also, because I could go on for wayyy too long here, this is very much just a FEW of my favorite scenes. >3>

. . .

1) Etienne stitching up Nicolas's forehead. Such a shining early example of Etienne's kindness, and how much the other village kids rely on him, especially Nicolas.

2) The official Children's Crusade uniforms! Aka, Guillaume and Pierre's attempt to bribe their way into the group... and it works. Because everyone else is too happy about new clothes to care if those two little shits come along now.

3) The entire barrage of cuteness and character-defining moments that is the banquet scene in Chapter 5. Especially Guy's "fuck off, leave the wine" bit. XD Classic.

4) Guy showing his soft side by looking after Remy. Absolute sweetheart right there, even if he'll never admit it.

5) Christie and Guy's bonding moment in Chapter 9. It hits me right in the feelings to see her opening up to someone— and these two both need a friend sooo badly. :`)

6) Etienne and Henri's bonding moment from the same chapter. This whole scene is just precious, and a great look at the more multi-faceted (as in, not just kind-hearted and naive or a nervous little crybaby) aspects of Etienne and Henri's characters.

For the soldier au in Tokyo revengers how about we hear about what they're like in this universe and what their relationships are with each other? Also are the girls included in this as soldiers or are they civilians still?

This is a rather broad question, so I'll try to summarize a few major points that come to mind... plus any significant details that hit me along the way. >w>

First of all, yes, the girls are included. I greatly dislike how almost all of them are sidelined in the manga itself, so that's definitely not going to be the case here. Some of them may have more active combat roles than others, but overall, they're in the same situation.

As for the gang dynamics, I'm thinking that everyone is technically on the same side, but different units and competition between them are what cause tensions between the characters in place of their gang allegiances. There's plenty of bitterness between who earns superior officers' favor, who gets credit for battles gone well, and on the other hand, who suffers for it when things go wrong— so even if the boys usually only have a chance to fight each other during various forms of training, "accidents" can still happen that get people hurt.

Shinichirou was definitely favored enough that his death caused issues, both in terms of internal tension and superiors who weren't happy about losing such a useful tool. Mikey is now likely being groomed as his replacement (of the "strong enough to be a human weapon" variety), and is thus the center of more conflict because of it.

Also, since the characters have been in the "child soldier" setting for most of their lives, parent-related backstory traumas are lessened/shifted onto either superior officers or each other— or even the lack of a known family altogether, depending on the character.

I think that's the best I can do while the question is so vague, but feel free to ask for more details when requests are open again!

Quick question, would demon owners do playdates for demons? Or would it be more of a taboo since it could be dangerous. Playdate with tanjiro and zenitsu could be cute! Lol the demons play while the owners drink coffee and eat sweets!

Just a cute thought

Demon playdates are definitely a possibility! More common among the "actually cares about the creature under their legal ownership" crowd, for sure, though, and some caution would have to be exercised due to general territorial tendencies and the potential for aggression between demons who aren't used to socializing...

But a cute thought indeed, when it can work out safely! owo

Is there anything human inside of me at all, save for the traces you left behind?
