Everything Is Dark

Everything is dark ✿

an installment of the intertwined souls mini series

Tanjiro x female!reader

in a world where nobody can see color until they meet their soulmate, tanjiro is devastated thinking he will never meet his soulmate with demons still alive. That's until quick eye contact with a village girl.

not edited, was too excited to start the series so here's the first installation 😼

Ever since he was a small child, Tanjiro knew the importance of finding his soulmate, his lost other half. His mother would bundle him and his sister up in her lap, explaining the many different types of soulmates in the world.

Tanjiro had a unique soulmate connection. He couldn't see color. He listened to the many stories of the 'colorful' world around him, yet everything appeared to be an array of grays. He asked his father what it meant, to which he smiled and patted the boys head.

"You, my son, are a special case. A very rare connection. When you meet your soulmate, look in their eyes and your world will become colorful."

You were born as the only child to your father. Your mother had passed shortly after you were born. The village chased your father out, claiming you killed your mother as a cursed child.However, you were not cursed, simply born with total blindness.

It was extremely rare, and completely unheard of in your small village to be born completely blind. The villagers, fearing the safety of their homes resorted to the belief you were cursed and that you killed your mother.

Your father, a poor farmer, took you and ran. He traveled many days until he found an abandoned house by the edge of a forest. Your father loved you more than anything, he did not believe you to be cursed, only that you did not have the luck of the gods.

As you aged, your father taught you the basics to farming and how to navigate without your eyesight. He also began to explain soulmates to you. He explained to you the many different types of soulmates in the world, even his own with your mother. There was no countdown on your wrist, you didn't hear anyone else's thoughts, you were never freezing, and nobody appeared in your dreams.

Maybe you really were cursed. An unlucky child, even the gods didn't bless you with an eternal lover. That was what you always believed until...

"Are you alright?!"

Foolishly, you decided to wonder outside of your home late at night. Your father wasn't home, he left for a nearby village to pick up some things, leaving you alone.

"-iss! Miss?" an unfamiliar male voice called out snapping you back into reality.

"Huh?" you blinked rapidly suddenly able to feel the rush of freezing water around you. Oh, right, you had been startled causing you to trip and land in the stream you were attempting to cross.

You began to move your hands around in the water, attempting to figure out your surroundings after being disorientated. "Here, take my hand." the boy, who sounded no older than you, must have extended his hand out for you.

Picking your hand up out of the water, you extended your hand and attempted to grasp the boys hand. Your hand completely missed his, beginning to fall back towards the water, a hand grasped your wrist.

"Are you alright?" the boy asked again, more concern lacing his tone. Embarrassment began to creep up in you, the boy's hands sliding from your wrist to your hand and pulled you up.

once you regained your balance, you clasped your hands together in thanks. "I thank you for helping me! I cannot see and your assistance was very helpful!" you lifted your head, in what you assumed, was the boys direction.

Weirdly, there was silence. "Sir...?" you called out cautiously. Did he leaves already? No, that was unlikely he was just there-

Warm hands suddenly engulfed your own causing you to jump at the sudden contact. "We're soulmates!" now you were confused, how could he know for sure?

You tilted your head. "Did you not hear me..? I cannot see.. There's no chance we are soulmates."

"My name is Kamado Tanjiro! Before I could not see any color but now that I have looked at your eyes, I can now see color! We have to be soulmates!" Tanjiro exclaimed.

You shook your head, "impossible."

Tanjiro's hands moved from your own to cup your cheeks, forcing you to look in his general direction. "Focus."

You did as told. Now that you mention it, there was a new warmth creeping up in your chest. "Can you feel it?" he asked. You nodded in response, tears pricking your eyes.

"Wait - don't cry!" sobs began to wrack your body, you threw your arms around Tanjiro's shoulders.

"We are soulmates. I didn't think it was possible without my vision. I am believed to be cursed but it seems not to be true!"

Tanjiro simply held you until your sobs died down, "let's get you inside and we can take it from there, alright?" you simply nodded, letting the boy, your fated lover, lead you back inside your home.

Day 4: again extremely swollen and painful but I'm surviving off ibuprofen which gets rid of most pain. Eating ice cream as I type 😼

Pain: 5/10

I got a new piercing 😼

No I meant her crushes older brother. It changes so often I can’t keep track-🧠

Ohhhhh okay that makes more sense 😭 that's a pretty interesting person to be set up with 🧐

Main Masterlist

Series Masterlist

after Amane found Muichiro and brought him back to the demon slayer corps

you were summoned to the Ubuyashiki estate by the Oyakata-sama

as a strong warrior in both strength and will you were once a hashira

but was sadly ordered out of action due to a heavy injury after surviving a uppermost (whether you killed it or not is up to you)

so you were quite surprised when you got the message from the crow

and you met Muichiro in the estate for the first time

his injuries from the demon attack when he lost his brother was still fresh

he reminded you of yourself

so you immediately agreed when Oyakata-sama asked you to train him as your apprentice

you took him in as your own

and taught him everything you knew

you bandages his new wounds when he finally returns from training every day

you never stopped him from training and respected his instinctive rage

Muichiro sometimes looks at you for a moment and asks you who you are

he will probably improve eventually

It all stayed the same until one frightful day

to say you were shocked when he ran to you with a wide grin would be an understatement

you rushed to the butterfly estate right after you heard that Muichiro fought an uppermoon

you were beyond speechless when you saw him

Muichiro greeted you with a warm smile and shining eyes

and when he called you all sweetly and confidently

"y/n-sensei!"

not even pausing for a moment to remember who you were

you thought that you were dreaming

or you were just delusional

but no

it continued

on and on and on

he even lets you give him head pats

whenever he was not busy with missions

he stays with you

sometime you train together

or simply seat together and have a snack

but you couldn’t find it in you to complain

Draken would 100% be a smooth dancer. I know that for a fact. And I think a/o would have to bribe him with…I don’t even know for him to do the challenge but he’d do it-🧠

Draken wouldn't be hard to bribe if his s/o is doing it, now if it was anyone else he's a stone wall. He's definitely a softy for his partner

Going back to s/o drama choreo... this but s/o and draken (yes another winter ver)

I stared at it for like 5 minutes like….what do I do with it-🧠

Burn the house down... 😭 (don't actually do that)
