Summary
In a Japan scarred by the aftermath of a war against demons, the survivors of the Demon Slayer Corps wandered through a world devoid of meaning. The Butterfly Estate, once a haven of healing, is now nothing more than a mausoleum of memories, where the echoes of loss resonate in every corridor. Sanemi Shinazugawa, Giyû Tomioka, Obanai Iguro and Kochō Shinobu, four Hashira broken by their sacrifices, find themselves facing an uncertain future, haunted by their regrets and the promises they failed to keep.
How could you live when death was coursing through your veins? How could you live when everything you fight for ended up dead? How could you forgive to the world and yourself?
Between broken promises, painful memories, and the faint hope of a better future, this story explores the struggle of these warriors to find a reason to continue in a world without demons, where the real battles are now fought within their hearts.

Summary
The 1,000-year war against the Demon King had finally ended, thrusting humanity into a new era of peace. However, it was hard-won, with many devastating losses. The sacrifices were worth it in the end, but that didn’t mean they didn’t leave wounds that would take a lifetime to heal for the survivors.
Former demon - Kamado Nezuko - lamented being unable to properly meet many of the people from her memories before Muzan and his creations cruelly killed them. Still, she did her best to look forward to the future.
Sometimes, she would overhear talk of regrets and what-ifs. And each time, she would silently recall how she barely even had a choice in the time she lost after her humanity was stripped away from her. Could she have made a bigger difference if she could choose?
The opportunity to answer that question came with her waking up to find herself biting down on a familiar bamboo muzzle.
TLDR: Post-canon Nezuko gets thrown back in time to the start of the series with her consciousness and memories intact. She is determined to work towards a better future.
imo there's not enough Nezuko-centric time travel fix-its

Summary
"Beware... the Progenitor of Demons is never far away."
On December 28th, 1921, as Japan prepares to welcome a new year, a shadow falls over the capital. Disappearances multiply, and corpses reappear in dark alleyways—mutilated, drained of all life.
Nezuko Kamado, like so many others, chooses to look away. She lowers her gaze, shortens her routes, tries to blend into anonymity. But evil does not ignore. That day, it struck without warning, tearing away everything she held dear.
As the old codes around her crumble, demons evolve, and even the hunters flirt with darkness, Nezuko tries to preserve her light. How to move forward when everything calls for hatred?
In a twilight where hope seems a weakness, Nezuko fights to preserve her humanity—and that of her brother. Her quest is not just one of healing, but of a greater truth: that even in the darkest night, a glimmer can change everything.
A story where emotion, beauty, and the will to believe triumph over darkness.

Summary
“I’m sorry… I couldn’t do anything. I heard the… commotion outside. When I tried to leave the building, it fell apart. I...” Those eyes welled up with tears as the memory came flooding back to him. “I heard them die, I thought that...”
“You will be alright. We will get your wounds treated.” Tanjiro gripped tightly, comfortingly “Please don’t blame yourself. It’s not like you ran away and refused to help. You were trapped. That’s something different entirely.”
The three had talked, with the Kakushi chiming in now and again before Tanjiro could make out the butterfly estate in the background. “We’re nearly there sir. I’m so sorry but I forgot to ask for your name”
The young man smiled softly for the first time since the two had met.
“Yoriichi Tamura”

Summary
Something circulated through Nezuko, pumping through every heartbeat. Everything hurt. It was too much sensation. Cells tumbled, growing into an act of disrepair and repair at the same time; forming from death an inhumanity. It was something demonic. With it, she felt like an integral part of her, something that she had always had slipped away. Her eyes closed shut, breath leaving her in the next moment as she collapsed.

Summary
Nezuko awoke with a start. She was lying on the ground, face turned up towards the sky. She could feel snow seeping into her clothes, making them wet and cold.
What- what was she doing out here? Had she fainted while getting wood? All she could remember was some weird, violent nightmare. And what smelled so good?
Pushing herself up, Nezuko looked down and saw blood staining her kimono.
"~"
After Muzan turns her into a demon and leaves her to fend for herself, Nezuko loses control over herself when Tanjiro comes home and commits the ultimate crime. Now, she must begin a long and hard road towards redemption.
New chapters come out after I write them. I sometimes rewrite old chapters, so feel free to up my hit count- I mean, uh, make sure you're up to date. Constructive criticism is much appreciated.
Edit: I've gotten 69(nice) kudos via bots in guest accounts on this fic alone. I've decided to keep this available for guest consumption, but I will list what I believe to be bot kudos here half for my readers benefit and half so I can keep track of them myself.

Summary
Tanjiro Kamado was the kind of person who held everything together. The glue. The warmth. The quiet resilience. But that all ended the morning he woke up to blood and silence—his entire family slaughtered, and only Nezuko left breathing.
Now it’s just the two of them. And nothing is okay.
Grief festers. Guilt drowns. The world stops making sense, and Tanjiro stops trying to make it make sense. Every smile he once gave is gone. In its place: confusion, rage, fear, and something darker that even he doesn’t recognize.
He wants to protect Nezuko. But sometimes, he’s the one she needs protection from.
He used to reach out to help. Now he lashes out when the pressure breaks him. Coping turns violent. Emotions get buried until they rot. And every day, another part of him slips away.
This isn’t a healing story. It’s a slow, quiet unraveling.

“Can you hear me?” she asked, leaning closer. “What’s your name?”
He blinked slowly, dazed, lips parting as though forming words was a struggle. His breath came out in short, uneven gasps. Then, barely above a whisper—
“…Tanjiro.”
She exhaled, a small sense of relief settling in—until he paused. A flicker of confusion crossed his face, and his expression twisted in pain.
“…Kibutsuji.”

Summary
⚠️STORY WILL CONTAIN MAJOR SPOILERS ⚠️
Sanemi Shinazugawa never thought he'd be standing side by side with Giyu Tomioka, let alone fighting to keep the world from falling apart. But after the battle with Muzan, after the bloodshed and the bodies, they're the only Hashira left. The Demon Slayer Corps is in ruins, and Demon King Tanjiro is still out there-stronger, deadlier, and slipping further from the kind boy they once knew.Survival should be their only priority. Find the last survivors, keep the demons at bay, and figure out a way to stop Tanjiro before he turns the world into a wasteland. But as the nights stretch longer and the weight of the past presses down, Sanemi starts to see Tomioka in a way he never has before.
And if they're going to make it through this, he might have to admit that, for the first time, he doesn't want to be alone.
Or, an AU where they couldn’t turn Tanjiro back into a human in time.
