"Make a man out of you" by I_bring_Crack is one of favorite long fics I've read. Its basically a Mulan AU! Fem Giyuu x General Sabito and the world building around it is immaculately done and it has great character writing. I highly recommend it as it kept me up for TWO NIGHTS just to fully read it AND IT WASNT EVEN FINISHED YET WHICH HELP IM SCREAMING ABOUT IT.
The other one is the collection of fics from lakeshoredive, and the collection is called "SCU (The Sabito Cinematic Universe)". Basically, its their take on Sabito is alive, au from him surviving Final Selection to his promotion as a Hashira and training Tanjirou. Like the first one, it has really good character writing and inspired me to make my own rendition how Sabito survives the final selection. I used to be a firm believer of him being an Ice Hashira, but rn it changed when I learned the concept of him being able to weild Sun Breathing.
Also, all these fics have big yearning Sabigyuu, so :"D
More sketches and doodles what happened between the span of two years of them being separated and what Makomo had to deal with a monthly basis. Giyuu is yearning, but so does Sabito if not harder.
I wanna add more to this canon divergent phase in their lives, but sadly, responsibilities are catching up ToT.
Basically, The hand demon didn't hunted them until the final night because he could sense how powerful Sabito is and waited for him to be weakened. Sabito survived the Hand Demon via awakening his Demon Slayer Mark (how he got that is up to debate) and was able to fend them off till dawn. However, once he was able to reach the edge of the mountains, he collapsed, and his body was beyond exerted. Hence, he got comatosed for a good month.
Giyuu, wo was able to awaken days after the final selection, was distraught to see the state of his best friend and blamed himself even further for not being there when Sabito needed most. So he asked Ubayashiki and Urokodaki to make him shadow under other cultivators who won't be able to give him the same mercy he knew from home- and so he went before Sabito could wake up. Giyuu wants to say goodbye but knew he would just stay more at Sabito's side as a weak and unqualified partner in Giyuu's eyes.
When Sabito wakes up, he immediately tries to find Giyuu only to realize his best friend has long been gone and laments the sudden rift between them now. Giyuu did left him a parting letter, but ever since then for two years, they hadn't contacted each other since.
Makomo, their senior and so called big sister, took up the mantle to communicate with Giyuu via her crow, who she always sent out at the 8th day of the month so she can update giyuu about Sabito, Urokodaki, herself and the estate.
And those letters are Giyuu's source of hope as he only focuses on training himself to be better but barely socializes. Makomo understands Giyuu's internal dilemma and doesn't push him to reply. She knows how hard Giyuu is to himself after all.
There's more in the Sabigiyuu Break Up Era, but that's for another day.
There's more context behind the animatic, but I'm not sure if it bids well with the canon proper so I will say that Giyuu's first meeting with both Sabito and Urokodaki didn't go smoothly at first before this scene happened.
Exactly! And I think she gives big sister vibes, especially with the way she treats Tanjirou during his training. Not to mention, if her and Gyomei are close comrades, he wouldve given her the role to be Shinobu and Kanae's cultivator, which fits and still follows canon because their breathing styles are branching arts of Water Breathing.
(I mean, in the 2nd game I think, Makomo's ultimate form reminds me so much of Shinobu's attack in season 1.)
PURE CONQUEST ROUTE : This is the Route where you spent 8 chapters with Nohr (either depicting Corrin’s childhood with their siblings or etc.) Before they got taken to Hoshido for 2 chapters before the branch of Fate. This result Takumi fallen into possession thus, will still be nearly the same as the original gameplay of Conquest.
Timeline:
Chapter 1-8: With Nohrian Family
Chapter 9-10: Hoshidan Family
Chapter 11: Branch of Fate.
CONQRIGHT ROUTE: Instead of spending 8 chapters with your Nohrian siblings- the timeframe between Pure Conquest chapters 9-10 will be expanded to chapter 3-10 which the player will experience more time with their Hoshido family before the Branch of Fate. Takumi won't be fully consumed by their possession and still has most of his own agency in the actual war.
More about Conqright Takumi here.
Timeline:
Chapter 1-2: With Nohrian Family
Chapter 3-10: Hoshidan Family
Chapter 11: Branch of Fate
IDEAS FOR CONQRIGHT BOSS FIGHT
CUTSCENE:
Once Garon was defeated, the Nohrian army heard various footsteps incoming and saw Takumi still alive along with various nobility and high-ranking generals besides him. Corrin and their siblings claimed that Nohr's tyranny is finally over. However, they were immediately silenced by Takumi, who shot an arrow at Corrin, who was able to partially deflect it.
Every Hoshidan advocated to kill the Nohrian army and shouted their intended hatred by recounting every transgression the army did to their country, and they will no longer be held back as long as their royalty still lives.
“If The kingdom of Dusk conquers the Kingdom of Light - then we will bring you true darkness!”
Then, the throne room turned dark.
PHASE 1
For the first 6 turns, Corrin’s stats would deplete.
The Hoshidan army will activate an illusion spell with the help of his comrades that will blind Corrin's army with darkness. Enemies are immune to this effect.
Selecting a unit, only the adjacent tile will be visible, mages however have the benefit to see two tiles visible.
When the first talisman is removed, 8 tiles will be visible around the area.
However, the first unit that activates the talisman would always be critically hit by Takumi.
In the enemy phase, Takumi will always target units standing on the plates where you interact with the talisman. His hitrate will always be 100% along with a 50/50 chance of critical damage.
Win Condition: Defeat the boss or the Mages or Remove all the talisman.
CUTSCENE:
Corrin and Takumi are fighting face to face- however, the moment the Yato and Fujin Yumi collided, time stopped, and only their wielders were conscious and saw what the other experienced on their side of the war. They lamented their fate of being too late to be reunited as a family as their people would no longer be satisfied until one side of the monarchy fully collapsed.
They said their goodbyes and wished that the next life would be kinder and be the family they wish they could've been.
Time went back. After the forces of their weapons dissipate, they both jump back to power themselves back. Corrin partially transformed into a dragon while Takumi used a Dragon Vein to boost his own strength and agility at the cost of his life.
The two commanded their own armies to fight for the last stand.
PHASE TWO
(TBD)
Winning condition: Defeat the Boss.
CUTSCENE:
As the heat of the battle intensified, Corrin was able to out maneuver Takumi and have to fully force their body to push their brother and using their dragon wings, they finally pushed him- against the walls and to the skies where dawn finally shines the castle, with a sword deeply embedded in his stomach.
Realizing his defeat, his body hanging limp in the sky, Takumi shoves the Fujin Yumi to their sibling's hands and embraces Corrin one last time.
‘I'm glad..that its you.’
He then pushes himself away from Corrin as he falls to his death from the height of Castle Shirasagi.
Before his body plummets to the ground, Corrin is able to catch him and fly to where Ryoma is. As both armies of Hoshido and Nohr watch as the Prince(ss) carries their fallen brother's body to be laid next to their elder brother, Hinoka and Sakura, who are already grieving, meet eyes with their lost sibling once more.
