    Summary

    Tsugikuni Michikatsu was the most beautiful creature, of all humans and demons alike, that Muzan had ever seen; of course he’d had no choice but to make the slayer his. His masterpiece, his very own Galatea, sculpted beneath his hand and brought to life anew to be loved by him and him alone. Perfection.

    Kokushibou does not look in mirrors—when he had first begun to wake up, to reanimate, violently gagging upon Muzan’s blood as more and more was forced over his tongue, scalding and thick as it filled up his throat and overflowed from his pried-open mouth, and not one, not two, but three sets of eyes had flown open only to white out from the pain of his transformation, he’d known what he’d become. Hideous. Abomination. Monster.

    These truths are not mutually exclusive.

    Summary

    He was just a boy.

    His tiny hand was trembling where it clutched the wrapped hilt of his Nichirin blade, making the pommel rattle against its sheath with the faint, unmistakable clink of metal on metal, his little form swallowed up in the black and white uniform of a hashira, poorly tailored to fit someone so small.  In all of Kokushibou's centuries of bloodshed, the thousands of slayers felled by his hand, driven to him like lambs to the slaughter by the orders of the Ubuyashiki clan and their hopeless war, never before had they sunk so low as to send before him a child.

    He looked so much like Yoriichi, all those years ago.  That sweet little face looking up at him, smiling as bright as the sun, eyes shining with nothing but pure adoration as he clutched that pathetic excuse for a flute—terribly carved by the graceless fingers of a five year old—to his chest like it was some precious, perfect treasure.  ‘I think about this flute you gave me as if it were you, brother.’

    The demon that had once been Tsugikuni Michikatsu took his hand off his sword.

    __________

    Or, how Kokushibou enters his 'father' era five centuries too late and somehow, one by one, adopts a hoard of child soldiers.

    Summary

    “Do we get second chances in this life, Todd?” Neil asks him like he expects a negative answer. Todd doesn’t give that to him.
    “Yes. We do. I know it.”
    “Do you?” Neil grins, playfully elbowing him. “Did you at least wait to take it? That second chance? Until the world was more peaceful? More kind?”

    Ten years after the death of Neil Perry, Todd Anderson wakes up with a second chance.

    Summary

    The bet was simple, if Charlie could steal that stupid stone bust from Nolan’s office within the week without getting caught by ANYONE - student body and faculty alike - then Meeks would have to do what he said for the day.

    In the sea of people, Charlie stood on one of the arm chairs. Charlie spotted Meeks immediately, with the biggest shit eating grin on his face and Meeks’ stomach drops like a stone. “Suck it Meeks, Nuwanda never loses!”

    “Fuck”
