You taking Douma’s hat before he goes to his place in the cult for the day and not giving it back until he admits you look fucking adorable in it yes or no

[joined-by-stars-afar]

Hey everyone! I'm sorry I randomly disappeared for a while. Some stuff came up irl pretty suddenly and didn't give me time to announce anything. I may close requests for a bit, or at least just be really slow getting to them. I still have the idol!reader x hashira plus douma x ticklish reader fluff in my drafts, plus I'm working on a couple other personal projects!

Douma comes between reader and an aggressor

Akaza comes between reader and an aggressor

Daki gets sick, reader looks after her

Reader gets sick, Gyutaro looks after them

Enmu comforts s-icidal reader when finding them by the train tracks (ngl might be the start of a story I had an idea of writing like a whole Enmu x reader thing)

Douma x Akaza comfort

Kokushibo x reader who runs away

Tengen x reader going through gender dysphoria

Reader overworking themselves through training x a whooole bunch of characters

I'm sorry to those whose requests I've been so slow on, it may still take me a while, but I swear they're on my to-do list and I'm working on em

I'm ngl for the Hashira one I never realized how much I struggle w writing Gyomei qwq

tripwire (KNY, Rui x reader (PLATONIC) oneshot)

This was something I wrote a while ago!! I plan on making vers with all the usual demons I write (Tamayo, Rui, Enmu, Kaigaku, Daki, Gyutaro, Nakime, Akaza, Douma, Kokushibo, Muzan) where they find demon!reader evading a very, very close call between themselves, a slayer, and the sun. Enjoy the Rui ver for now!

You just kept running, running, running, your lungs feeling like they were clogging up, your heaving chest making it feel like you were swinging from a meat hook. You couldn’t afford another slip up, not after that damn bear trap, which had cost you a lot of energy regenerating your leg, considering you had to leave it behind. You still needed to get deeper into the woods, make sure not a single ray of sunlight could reach you, or you’d be done for. You didn’t know if you were going to make it. 

A red trail was still constantly pouring out of your torso, since you couldn’t afford to heal yourself, and your vision was already getting hazy. Your only hope now was to lose the slayer and find a way to stop and rest even for a few precious seconds. Your legs couldn’t hold up. You could smell your own blood and the metal of the Nichirin katana that searched for your neck. The slayer wasn’t going to be thrown off any time soon. You just had to keep going.

The tripwires of mount Namagumo quivered, and Rui looked up, already growling furiously into the forest. Those tripwires were the ones he had near the side of the mountain you always used when coming or going. You hadn’t returned yet, and you still had somewhat ample time before the sun fully became a problem. Why were you running? But then, he smelled your blood. 

He snarled, leaping from the branch he rested on, practically rocketing down the mountain from tree to tree, like a falcon diving towards its defenseless prey down below. Whoever was hurting his dearest friend wasn’t even going to have a chance to turn back down the mountain trail. The faint vibrations from Rui’s silk calmed the pounding of your heart. You were almost home free. You knew Rui was likely going to be drawling on and on about your struggle to even get back before morning, but that was just his way of saying how much he wanted to protect you. You didn’t even register Rui’s soundless landing until you heard his scowl. You were pretty sure you were the only person that lived to know what it sounded like. Whenever he scowled like that, it meant the end for whoever it was directed towards.

He liked to be tantalizing. After all, this dimwit had already worn his patience pretty thin. How could you blame him? He stared down at the slayer, annoyed. “I’m sick of you all scampering up here and attacking us like you believe you can actually do something. You’re quite stupid. It reminds me of rats in a maze.” He rolled his eyes when the foolish child made a move for him. Of course they thought they could just dash so clumsily toward him, and behead him just like that. It took a simple flick of his wrist. He yanked on his silk as if he was tearing the slayer’s very life from them, and just like that, the spider demon had sliced through their delicate flesh like a hot knife through butter.

Each bit of the shredded flesh plopped to the ground with a soft squelch. Yes, Rui often had spillage with his kills, but he didn’t care too much. Either way, he had a family to feed. “Hmph. What a simpleton.” He hummed, as if pondering what ridiculous thoughts could have possibly been going through a person’s mind to make such a grave mistake. He turned to you, focused on the gash on your side, which was obviously still oozing blood. You were the only one able to recognize the softness in Rui’s otherwise blank expression. “You’re injured. Come on. We’re going home. Mother has had a very successful hunt today. We’ll dine, and you’ll be just fine. I’ll instruct Father to keep a closer eye on your route home, too.” His eyes narrowed a bit at the thought of someone hurting you like this ever again, especially taking advantage of you in such a state. Effortlessly, Rui scooped you up, carrying you up the mountain. He practically sent warnings into the dark of the forest just with his presence, at any lowly creature that dared to skitter close enough to his path. Nothing else would go awry tonight. Not on his way home, not while he was transporting such precious cargo. And the forest of Namagumo knew better. This was his hunting ground, and he was happy to remind anyone who stumbled upon it that he was the predator. No one else.

Sure thing! How about something like Douma nsfw headcanons during bath? He asks you if you could help him bath but he's plotting and scheming something sexy with you :) Thank you again!

oh definitely >:D I gotcha! thank you for your request! btw again sorry these are a bit short qwq ima try to work on longer lists! hat and in general ngl my nsfw headcanons tend to run dry pretty quick -w-; i hope you like these nonetheless!! kinda rushed >w>

(also i got an enmu oneshot im workin on with a ✨funky lil idea✨ i got so keep an eye out for that, dears!!)

Douma bathes with you (+ fucks you LMAO)

You heard your lover holler down the hallway from the bathroom and you curiously headed upstairs with an extra bottle of shampoo

"Did you already use up the damn shampoo??" "Wh- no! Darliiing, I need your help~" "Don't know how to take a shower?" "You're no fun, my love."

He managed to get you with all his whining, and it didn't take long

You're in his arms the moment you undress and step in with him

He can't keep his hands from roaming the body he loves most

Likes to hold you riiiight up against him, skin on skin

Holds you against him the entire time, making sure he can hear all your noises over the running water (or splashes, if you're taking a bath rather than a shower)

Expect him to be marking up every bit of your skin that he can reach (if you let him bite you/mark you)

He finds it cute when you can't even hold yourself up against the shower wall, only pressing right up to you with his back pressing you against the wall, happily leaning in and nipping at your bare shoulder

Finds it even more adorable when your feet continue to slip and slide, nearly bringing you to your knees several times ("Careful, darling, as much as I love how you are on your knees for me, I don't want you hurting yourself.")

You can't tell me this man doesn't LOVE hearing every single sound made from you two echoing in the shower

The moment you two finish up though he's already cleaning you up, aftercare god <3

Wraps you up in a fluffy towel and whisks you away to bed for cuddles!

[joined-by-stars-afar]

Please, nsfw headcanons with Doma! ^^

sure thing anon!!! if possible, please leave another req giving me an idea of exactly what you want? it's just easier for me to go over some kinda outline.

[joined-by-stars-afar]

HIII,I HOPE YOU'RE DOING FINEEE!! I really like how you write douma and I wanted to ask how douma would feel about an s/o who is REALLY clingy and always craves physical touch?? THANK YOU <3

I AM HRU <3 tysm anon, that's very sweet! This is perfect Douma content omgg he's a huge sweetheart he'd be over the moon with a cuddly s/o!! I hope you like these, sorry if its kinda short.

Reader is very clingy, requires a lot of physical touch from their partner, Douma

Oh goodness he's more than happy to give you all the cuddles you need!!!!

Sure, he may tease you every so often, but that's just how your boyfriend is, it's one of his affections

He's always sure to remind you that you never ever have to worry about needing him close, he never thinks you to be too clingy and he makes sure you know it

Even if he's in the middle of one of his follower's ramblings, his arms are open for you, and he won't hesitate to remind his cult that you are his lover, and you take priority

If anything, he's also a big cuddler, so he's happy you share that with him, it helps him feel better about how clingy he is, too

Sometimes he'll come cling to you the same way, so the way you two gravitate toward each other so often basically never leaves you apart

During stressful days, it helps him to just have you close in his arms, holding you while he "listens" to his follower's complaints, sometimes he even just tunes out while he has you there, which is really helpful on days where he just doesn't fully think he can keep appearances

"Y/N, dear, I can see you fidgeting. Come, come here. Remember how I told you to come see me the moment you felt lonely? After all, your arms are always open to me, aren't they? You know mine are always open to you."

Hello! How are you? I would like to request Douma x Reader headcanons. After a passionate night with Douma, Reader can't walk at all. Douma is happy with what he did and he thinks is adorable how angry Reader is because of that! (thank you!)

Hello anon, I'm quite alright!

THIS IS 1000% DOUMA BEHAVIOR I've got you my dude

Also thank you sososo much for my first ever request,!! I wasnt sure if you wanted this more like a small fic or if bullet points were okay so I did both, I hope you don't mind! Also this is really short, I hope you still enjoy my silly little Douma brain worms <3

Reader can't walk after a fun night with Douma

Mans is going to treat this like a damn accomplishment

He can't help but giggle whenever he gets you with one of his surprise hugs and you nearly fall right back down, which just makes him pull you in closer

If you're going anywhere today he's gonna have to get you there so honestly you may as well just put up with you partner's teasing

Lord knows he's not gonna get over how absolutely precious you look when you're going the entire today with the possibility of tipping over

Every time you shove at him or get snippy, you both know it won't last long, because obviously, you can't walk, silly! Now just how are you going to get about without your lovely, caring partner carrying you everywhere you go?

-

"Darling, be more careful! Goodness, after what fun we had last night, I would say you may not even be able to walk..." You were practically able to hear his pouting lips.

"Oh yeah? And whose fault is that, Douma?"

"Well, with how you were begging for-"

"Just help me into the kitchen!!"

Douma giggled in delight, sweeping you up off your feet and spinning you around, pressing a few happy pecks to your cheek, only smiling wider as you half-heartedly swatted at him. "Very well! I looove youuuu.~" You were thankful he let you get away with a grumble as your response. Douma's teasing was relentless, but he gave you breathing space in between onslaughts. Er, for the most part.

After all, the moment he'd whisked you away to the kitchen, he set you down abruptly, which caused you to nearly just crumple to the floor. He let out an exaggerated gasp, quickly rescuing you from your predicament.

"Oh, no, no, no! Can't have that, can't have that. Looks like you're pretty stuck to me for today, my dear.~"

how would they hold you?  (KNY headcanons: demons)

Characters included: Tamayo, Enmu, Rui, Kaigaku, Daki, Gyutaro, Nakime, Akaza, Douma, Kokushibo, Muzan

Tamayo

She definitely likes just being in your company but I feel like she’d also find a lot of ease in you being within arms reach while she works on Nezuko’s medicine!

Sometimes she just gets so engrossed in her work on long days that she doesn’t even realize when she’s overworking herself, so having you there to gently squeeze her hand or rub her back always brings her out of it

Enmu

He loves surprising you!!

Sudden hugs from behind, running up and happily holding your hand, leaning over to rest his head on your shoulder, he’s all about it

Would obviously love it any time you did the same for him because it just reminds him how happy you both are being so close to each other!

I feel like he’d mostly love just hugging you around the middle, resting his head on your shoulder, just snuggling close, being as clingy as he wants with you happily patting his head, reminding him how happy you are that he’s close

Rui

Oh definitely a hand holder 1000%

I feel like he likes specifically leading you around, holding tight onto your hand, able to always feel you right there alongside him

After all, Rui has a big home, so he’s moving around a lot throughout the day, but that just means you get to follow him around, your hand in his the whole time, giving gentle little affirming squeezes to tell him you’re always right behind him

Honestly feel like he’s also the type to love being able to just lean his head on your shoulder

After all, he’s a kid at heart

Loves to just take breaks throughout the day, slowly tipping over until his head finds your shoulder, and before he can pull back in surprise, he’s enveloped by calm, knowing he can rest his head

Kaigaku

He likes hugging you from the side, his arm around your shoulders, keeping you beside him, reminding himself you haven’t moved on and left him behind

He doesn’t always find it easy to communicate verbally, to say, “I need you here,” so little moments like these are his saving grace

You were able to pick up on this behavior and now gladly go to his side, leaned close, whenever you see his eyes darting around anxiously, his fingers twitching, needing to hold you in his arms.

Definitely likes long hugs like 100%

He’s the type to give your hand gentle little squeezes throughout the day, his own little way of saying how much he loves you, how grateful he is to have you, how happy he is with someone by his side

Daki

Also a huge hand holder!!

Hear me out, she’d like it when you just take her hand and take all her worries away, leading her around, taking care of things for the time being, and she can just trail behind you like a little girl again

In general she likes being able to just reach out and hold your hand tight, especially in suffocating crowds in the entertainment district

She may have aged more than other demons who were turned at such a young age, but her heart is still just as youthful at times

“Don’t worry, Daki, just follow me, don’t worry about a thing today, you just relax, and I’ll take care of it,” takes more weight off her shoulders than you could ever know, and she can finally breathe easy for the day again

Gyutaro

He’s also accustomed to holding Daki’s hand, since it’s his own way of knowing he’s protecting the ones he loves, so he definitely holds yours all the time

Also just likes to hold you close when he can, clinging to you, his head over your shoulder, eyes closed peacefully, because you’re in his arms, and you’re alright

Not only does he like to hold your hand but he likes having you really close, right up against him, even so that your arm is against his, and he almost finds it comforting to be like a shield between you and any particularly infuriating guests of Daki’s, should they feel the need to get close to you

HUGE enforcer of your boundaries, makes sure no one comes close enough to even share the same damn air as you unless he knows them or you tell him it’s okay

Nakime

She never knew how comforted she was by being able to even just sit with you

She gets lonely in that big, empty castle, you know? Having you beside her on slow days is a treasure

Nakime personally doesn’t know how much lots of physical contact does for her, but that’s not to say she doesn’t want you there

Even just sitting beside her on her platform in the castle, that’s what she likes, it’s minimal and enough to remind her that you enjoy the time you spend with her, enough to just sit in comfortable silence

Akaza

Hugs, hugs, more hugs

He enjoys holding you tight, specifically right to his chest, arms around your middle, head over your shoulder, keeping you away from the big bad world out there

Also gets comfort from holding your hand when he can, able to tug you close when he feels something’s up

We all know Akaza can sense bad vibes from miles away, so in general, he’s always kind of on guard, so having your hand in his basically all day brings him peace of mind

Whenever you two rest together, he likes resting his head atop yours with your face tucked into the crook of his neck, while he gently rubs your back, holding you tight, safe

Douma

What kind of physical contact does he not cherish????

He‘s unable to bear a single waking moment without you as it is, you better know he’s barely able to sit still if you're not within arms reach

“Douma, you’re holding me kinda tight…” well, you’re just gonna have to get used to it, he’s not budging 

(Obviously he doesn’t push your limits!)

There’s also moments after long, frustrating days with his followers where you just know how much relief it brings him to just tug you into his arms and hide his face in your shoulder, breathing in your scent, forgetting the world for a moment

When you two sleep, he’s always huddled up close, his head on your chest, the tension in his body slowly but surely melting away as you gently card your fingers through his hair, telling him about your day, letting him listen to a voice he does want to listen to for hours and hours

Kokushibo

To his own surprise, even, he likes having you right up against him, held protectively, at all times

Yes, even his energy is enough to keep most pesky threats away, but that’s not why he keeps you so close

He gets relief in hearing your breath, feeling warmth in your skin, even just feeling the smallest movements you make, they comfort him, because you’re still there, you’re okay, and you don’t plan on going anywhere if it’s not with him

It’s instinctive, but he’ll have moments where, if he isn’t too sure about an upcoming environment, he’ll hold you tighter and pull you to his side, turning so that he has you to one side, the road ahead on his other, like a castle wall between you and anything he doesn't know is safe

Whenever he clings to you, he buries his face in your shoulder, or nuzzles into your hair a bit, things saturated in the scent of his dearest companion

He’s most peaceful when he can calmly take in your scent without it being tense, or sad, or scared, like it is when you two are out on missions, as Upper Moons

No, behind closed doors, he doesn’t want the smell of another Upper Moon that he patrols with or is currently investigating something with…he wants only the scent of the one he loves, without a care in the world

Muzan

Like Kokushibo, he finds it almost like second nature to come between you and harm

He also likes holding your hand tight, practically at all times, which surprised you at first

You first really noticed it when you two were just roaming the streets of Asakusa, and someone bumped your shoulder, which caused Muzan to nearly tug you right up to his chest the moment there was any tug on your held hands

When he works, it’s like an anchor to be able to hold you

He likes to keep you in his arms when he’s sat at his desk, and is grateful when you stand nearby and follow him when he shuffles about his workshop, always within arms reach

Sometimes, he really just needs to pull you in and hold you, taking a few shaky breaths to calm his mind and refresh before returning to his research

Sure, he’s the Demon King, but underneath that title is the heart of a man who just wants to finally be able to rest, and you give him as many moments of peace as you possibly can

who will i write for? (KNY)

For clarification! I am a not a manga reader! The things I know about, for example, characters like Douma, Kokushibo, Yuichiro, etc, are all from spoilers or skimming the manga. I do not avoid anime spoilers. That said, again, I have yet to sit down and read the manga myself, meaning I will not know everything! There’s some characters I may not right for as much or in as much detail due to limited knowledge. There’s also characters who, in general, I may just not write for, or write certain things for. Thank you for understanding, and please don’t worry about asking me about any of these if you’re unsure. I’m always open to listening!
