Love is red but so is blood

Part 1 ←you are here, part 2, part 3, part 4

Pairing- Zenitsu X d!m!reader

Genre- fluff

Sorry this is so long I kinda got ahead of myself 😅 btw green is going to be A.N's they aren't long anyway

Warning- suicidal mentioning, horrible writing, super long.

Summary- zenitsu fell for a demon. Who would've know. A boy who is scared to the bone by them, plus he's ment to kill them fell in love with one. Everything was going fine. He was happy. M/n was happy. All was good untill a fellow slayer found m/n and Zenitsu.

FEM!READERS DNI PLEASE!!!

—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_

Small giggles came from the boy on your lap. Yellow and blond hair shaking with every laugh. You were both laying in a small meadow seems that Zenitsu had a day, or night off. Finally.

Small gusts of wind knock some of the dead leaves off their branches making them fall to the ground.

Small flowers blossomed around the meadow making a range of colours from blue to purple and yellow.

"than he went to jump across the river. But he missed and fell in" the younger boy said before causing you and him to burst into laughter.

Pulling Zenitsu up a bit to hold him you breath in the slight honey sent before you let out a happy sigh.

It was nights like these where you sometimes forget that your a demon and he's human. You forget that when he grows old you're still going to be 19.

When he dies your still going to be alive and will have to live without him. But you made up your mind. When he dies old or young, you will die with him. Standing where you two met. Waiting for your never ending life to finish with the rays of the sunlight.

Hoping, just hoping that you'll be with him in the after life.

"m/n? You're zoning out again" a small and shy laugh coming from him. You can't help but smile.

"I'm fine love. I promise" you smile slightly at the boy before looking at the flowers. Suddenly a smile appears on you face.

"wait here for me yeah? I'll be back in a sec" you said, standing the boy up before running off faster that normal.

Just as quick as you left you came back with what looked like black and gold wire along with some charms and small crystals.

Setting the things down Zenitsu sat down examining the items you left on the ground.

Walking around you grabbed bundles of different flowers and set them down with the other items. Zenitsu instantly knew what you were going to do. Looking at him you could practically see his eyes sparkle.

After all, flower crowns were how you two met.

||—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—||

Zenitsu passed out, well passed out while asleep, in a forest not to far from where you were sat making flower crowns and bracelets. Sensing a person in the woods you decided to go check it out.

His yellow and orange triangled haori and yellow hair was sticking out even in the middle of the night.

'why is he out here?' you wondered to yourself before slowly approaching the passed out boy.

You were extra cautious once you saw his demon slayer uniform. Picking the boy up bridle and walking him over to the small field where you were originally came from.

Obliviously he would be pretty stunned when he wakes up but it would be even more of a shock when he see you.

Your demon features are very noticeable. Black horns with a ring or two on them. Nails are short for a demon but still pretty long. Black marks go from the very top of your finger to the bottom of them, dark red almost blood red eyes, sharp fangs, slightly pointed ears and a crown that you made out of obsidian shards. (I have no idea why I chose this but it looks cool in my mind)

You could shapeshift into more of a human appearance but that does take a bit of strength and preferably you don't really like it.

You sat the boy down and take off you jacket and his haori to act like a pillow and blanket before going and starting up the crown you were working on.

You were so focused on tring not to break the stem of the flowers that you had not realised Zenitsu was starting to wake.

Stirring and blinking, his vision started to focus again. Scanning around the area his eyes went straight to the male next to him.

You were so startled by the ear piercing wail coming from the boy that the wires on the crown snapped from where you jumped.

Cries and screams is all that came from Zenitsu untill you quickly got up and covered his mouth.

"shhh! You'll draw attention to us!" Whisper-yelling him to atlease quite down a bit. Spoiler. He didn't but Zenitsu only got louder the longer you held onto him.

Rolling your eyes you slapped him. That was what shut him up.

"finally" you said in relief. Sobs is all what you could hear from him. "Look sorry. It's just I don't really feel like fighting other demons today" that was a lie. You felt perfectly fine it just you wanted peace and quiet. Something you rarely get seems that, well your a demon.

He seemed to calm down a little bit. You took that as a sign to remake the flower crown. Sitting down in front of him cross legged you picked up the crown and started to reshape and make it.

"s-so yo-u're not goi-ing to k-ill me?" Zenitsu stuttered out. Tears landing on his haori, eyes red and a runny nose. "If I was I would have already killed you would've I?"

Zenitsu seemed lost in thought. Just, staring at you. 'how could a 'demon' be so....human' he thought.

He was zoning out focusing on how you hands ran the fragile wire around and through the stems of the flowers. The colours seem to be brighter under the moon's light.

"can I try" he froze not meaning to talk at all knowing that you would probably kill him. Literally.

"yeah, do you know how to make them?" You sounded so warm and human. "Uh- no not really" zenitsu stuttered out.

"here I'll tech you" you said that was followed by a soft smile.

||—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—||

Carefully twisting the thin wire around the flowers and charms you tied off the wire finishing off the crown.

It was a mixture of yellows, whites and light oranges. You felt your own crown being lifted off you head before being replaced with a much more lighter one.

You looked at zenitsu who had a smile plastered onto his face. "It suits you" he said cheerfully but quickly.

You placed the crown you made onto his head before kissing the top of his head. "So does yours"

"I love you m/n. I know I say it a lot but I truly mean it. The first time I said it to you it felt...right." Zenitsu said.

He knew that this relationship was against the rules. Unlike nezuko you still needed to eat humans. This resulted in Zenitsu having to take the flesh from people that had already died due to another demon attack.

Having to take so much flesh in order for you not to grow to hungry was definitely a task. Tanjiro was starting to catch on with what he was doing. Always asking why Zenitsu smelt like blood that wasn't his, even tho he didn't have any blood on him.

Eventually you started to grow less and less hungry. Only really relying on a bit of flesh once a month and little blood during the day.

You smiled before replying "I love you too" than leaning in to place a kiss on his lips. When you pulled away you noticed that Zenitsu had a tint of pink dusting his cheeks before it quickly went away.

Zenitsu swore that he heard someone else steps and breathing. He looked around but didn't find anyone. The meadow looked completely empty. 'i must be hearing things again' the yellow haired boy thought.

"you alright love?" You asked. A slight worried looked was glossed over your face. "I'm fine I just thought I heard something. But it's getting closer to day brake we should head home." He said before collecting your real crown and the stuff you brought.

Standing up you and Zenitsu went back to your small cabin hand in hand.

Little did you two know but there was someone watch closely. A fellow lower rank demon Slayer. Shocked about the idea of a slayer dating a demon, he sent a crow the location of your cabin.

This will be the last peaceful night for Zenitsu for a long time to come...

to those authors who write 10k words per chapter… literally how

[coffeedrgn87]

I’m reading one of your stories on AO3.

And I just wanna say,

You wrote an almost 500k story??? For free???? Bless you. Thank you. I love you.

AND there’s sequels?

God, bless you. I hope you have an AMAZING night/morning/life

Hello Nonnie,

Yes, I know, shocking, right? I don't know what possessed me to write that much and then follow it up with a 222k sequel. I think writer's call this madness...or maybe that's just me. Fun fact, the story you're referring to preaches the honouring of boundaries. Clearly, I had none while writing, at least not when it came to word count.

I dread to think what the word count for book three will be. Book one came in at 477k, book two at 222k, so by that logic I should manage to finish it somewhere in the realm of 130-160k (yes, I am playing fast and loose with the math here). I'll keep you posted...literally, on AO3.

Also, random song rec, because I'm just listening to this. SNAP by Rosa Linn. And if that's not to your taste, George Ezra's Dance All Over Me just came on and it's equally as good. Gosh, I love everything that man sings. 💜

Robyn, ☕🐉

[endusviolence]

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?

I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?

In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".

Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.

This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.

Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.

The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]

There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.

This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]

As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.

But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?

Edit: Added image IDs. I apologize to those using screen readers for forgetting them. Please reblog this version instead.

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

Danny Phantom, The Show:

geeky kid gets super powers from his parents' weird inventions! now he has to fight a rogue gallery of ghosts... but uh-oh! he still has to keep his grades up, deal with his embarrassing parents, and navigate girl troubles! rap theme song!

Danny Phantom, the Fandom, After 19 Years of Fermentation:

a child dies. but not quite. the inherent tension between life and death. the obsession of the dead for faded remnants of the living. warped green shadows on the walls of a dark laboratory. having to hide your true nature from those who should be your greatest allies. the fear of the monster you could become if you let yourself. being a ghost as a metaphor for the trans experience. a cold breath on the back of your neck in the dead of the night. rap theme song!

[counting-stars-gayly]

I’m actually LOVING how Rick Riordan, and the other writers of the show, took his initial concept of a Percabeth rivalry fueled by that of their parents and kind of turned it on its head?

Now, instead of Annabeth being wary of Percy because he’s a son of Poseidon, he’s wary of her because she made a callous impression on him. They get off to a rocky start even before finding out who Percy’s father is, and when they finally do, Annabeth doesn’t care. Instead of them fighting because of who their parents are, they’re fighting over their own opposed worldviews.

Then, instead of them arguing over which of the gods is cooler and who was right in the story of Medusa, they realize that, just like Medusa, Annabeth is a victim of her mother and that, unlike Medusa, she is a far kinder and stronger person, unwilling to repeat the cycle of hurt. They realize that, like his father, Percy often acts without considering potential consequences and that, unlike his father, he is a far kinder and stronger person, willing to step up for someone he wronged and whom he cares about.

Instead of Percy and Annabeth’s rivalry being focused on that of their parents, it’s focused on who they are, themselves. But the path to friendship is still the same: a realization that they have each other’s backs, no matter what, because they’re not their parents after all.

Can you please put your long fic asks under a read more? Love to read them but they take a while to scroll after I have haha. Thank you!

Hey there-

Thank you for reading! Always nice to hear from a fan.

I have no idea how to do that. I type my stories on my iPad and let Tumblr do it’s thing. I do AO3, but that site endlessly aggravates me.

If it’s super simple to do, I’ll consider it.
