forget-me-not and take courage, he who is duty-bound by AlexaRouge

Summary
Atsumu wakes up in what he will eventually learn from Motoya is the Shrine of Resurrection, his memories barren but his body marked with scars of forgotten stories. He wakes up to a barely familiar voice, stringent and irritable yet comforting in a way he hopes he’ll eventually be able to explain. He wakes up for a destiny he isn’t sure he can fulfill.
Atsumu had. . . a family? He also had friends. Fellow champions, his mind whispers. Someone else who shared his face. Two-toned. . .feathers? A rock-hard reprimanding pat on the back. Sharp narrow eyes, and even sharper teeth. Cool yet caring glances given behind a smart pair of glasses. Their names slip through his fingers and haunt him in his nightmares.
Atsumu served – serves – a prince. He knows he serves him out of obligation and duty, a mishmash of guilt and the sort of courage found in good people and vessels of the hero’s spirit. He knows he served him to the best of his ability yet ultimately failed him and the kingdom. What he doesn’t know yet is that he served him out of love as well.
(or: BOTW told in vignettes but I shove SakuAtsu down its throat.)

Summary
“Turn around, Tomioka-san.”
He turned, face stoic and dazed. “Good. Now, repeat after me. Will you—”
“Will you—”
“—eat soba—”
“—eat soba—”
“—with me?”
“—with… me?”
Shinobu had a close-eyed smile, pleased. “My, I never thought you’d ask, Tomioka-san. Sure, let’s have soba together! I still have to check on Inosuke-kun and Zenitsu-kun, so let’s meet before sundown. The usual place, right?”
Giyuu and Shinobu, and the years to come.

Summary
When Tomioka Giyuu awakens from his coma, it's about three weeks from his twenty-second birthday. Himejima once told him, or rather, he was a spectator to another conversation, that one does not really feel the passage of twenty, into twenty-one, then twenty-two, and all the years after.
Giyuu would like to formally disagree now as his passage between ages has been, one could say, a little fucked.
What happens after the end of the world as he understands it? Life and all the rest of it, Giyuu supposes.

Bookmarker's Notes
"Ha! You're on." Uzui waggles his fingers at Giyuu's face. "I'm gonna find you the best gift, it's going to ruin all other gifts forever. You're going to be sixty and still thinking about it."
This stops him short, only for a beat, but he stumbles with the surprise. Uzui rights him without breaking his stride, mentioning nothing of it, maybe assuming that he had tripped over a rock rather than gotten the shock of his life. Giyuu would likely never reach that age.
Uzui looks at him and his sudden, strange silence. "Everything alright?"
"That old?"

Summary
Giyuu's anger wasn't enough to do anything with, not anymore. He'd burned himself out at such a young age. All that was left was ash.
Genya seemed like him. His anger was fear, a shield he used. It wasn't his core like his brother and the other hashira who had tried to help him.
Maybe, just maybe, that would be enough for Giyuu to make a difference where they hadn't.
Or: Genya becomes Giyuu's tsugoku. Sanemi does not approve.

Bookmarker's Notes
A curl of amusement sneaks its way into Giyuu's chest, and he glances over at Nezuko. "He got thrown into a wall, first."
Genya pulls back, blinking at him. Follows his gaze to Nezuko, still laying down. She waves at him. "...You threw Sanemi into a wall?"
Nezuko scrunches her nose. "Beat up family, die by my blade," She recites. Giyuu does not have to ask where she heard it from.
"You think Mr Giyuu is your family?" Genya asks, bewildered.
Giyuu goes to explain, explain the hypnotism and spell Urokodaki used to make her see all humans as family so she wouldn't eat them and would instead protect them. But before he can, Nezuko throws her arms up and around Genya's neck, pulling him down with a squawk.
"Brother!" She cheers.
"What!?"

Summary
When did the Water Estate start to feel like home?
Not good enough. Not strong enough. Not bright enough.
But why did they choose to stay?
Why isn't he alone?
---------------
Basically, Giyuu is really kind and can't just let these kids wander around without some supervision.
