AU Master List below (manga spoilers abound, also some of these have very little compared to the rest)

~

Bird and Slayer Swap | The Kasugai Crows are now demon slayers and vice versa (ie. Tanjirō is a crow and Matsuemon is his slayer). Three Heroes AU | No one understands this AU. It has caused several headaches. It is a monster. Best summarized as a combo Danny Phantom, Max Steel, and Slugterra AU.

Training Dragons AU | Based on How To Train Your Dragon. Mostly just adding dragons to the Demon Slayer world. Sort of.

Charm Warriors | Tanjirō, Zenitsu, Inosuke, Genya, and Muichiro make deals with the fae. Pros: Magical boy transformations and powers. Cons: enemies that want them dead. Nogitsune | After 400 years, the few demons that survived Muzan's defeat no longer have to worry about the Demon Slayer Corps. Unfortunately for them, Sumihiko Kamado has access to his ancestor's katana and no qualms about being a vigilante. Friendship is Magic | Aoi came to Ponyville to finish her Magic Thesis. She did not sign up for making friends, defending Equestria from Nightmare Moon, and rescuing Prince Yoriichi. Yes, this is a My Little Pony AU. Demon Zenitsu AU | Canon adjacent. As Zenitsu and Kaigaku start to fall into a somewhat comfortable brotherly dynamic, an unfortunate run in with Upper Moon 1 upends their lives. Now, with one brother a demon and the other a demon slayer, they search for a way to cure Zenitsu without alerting the corps.

Void Born, Sun Bound | Demon Slayer characters in a world and story based on the video game Hollow Knight.

What is Righteous? | Maybe a fic, maybe a comic, or maybe a mix of both. Kny AU based on Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (MDZS) and its live action drama The Untamed.

Welcome to Demon School! Zenitsu-kun | An AU based on the animanga Marimashita! Iruma-kun. Zenitsu’s parents sell him to a demon in exchange for wealth. Somehow, instead of dying, he ends up adopted by the demon Jigoro who was looking for a grandson. Unfortunately, most demons consider humans a delicacy so Zenitsu must do his best to pretend he’s a demon like everyone else and survive his new school (he can’t escape school, even in hell.) Good Intentions | Muzan Kibutsuji lost his entire family except for his little brother Kagaya who was turned into a demon. Now he's on a mission to cure his brother and kill the Demon King, Tanjirō Kamado. Sunforged Sword | Years before, a war was fought against the Lord of Demons, Muzan. He was defeated and sealed away by the goddess Hylia. That seal is now breaking but as evil rises so too shall a hero emerge. The stage is set. The players, willing or unwilling, have their part in this tale. Pick up your blade, Tanjirō, for the Legend of Zenitsu is about to unfold and your destiny is tied to it. (An AU based on Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.)

Sticks and Stones | An Avatar: The Last Airbender AU featuring Kokushibo adopting Tanjirō and Nezuko, Fire Lord Muzan being an evil dictator, and Avatar Zenitsu on a roadtrip with Genya, Aoi, and Inosuke.

Blood of Hinokami | The goddess Hinokami intended on blessing the latest sun breather in his fight against demons. When she realizes Tanjirō is her descendant, she awakens his latent abilities instead.

Fire Prince Zenitsu from our ATLA AU (Lilith did an amazing job with this).

[chaotickasugaicrows]

Still alive, barely. Infinity Castle was absolutely amazing and I (Smol) saw it twice and am gunning to see it a third time.

Once again, I updated Blood of Hinokami and had a lot of fun with it.

Chapter Five: Prickling Summary:

At first, the Great Inosuke wasn't worried about his minion. Kentaro was tough. However, once Inosuke saw him again, he had a new question. Was Tanjirō still Tanjirō?

Chapter Six: Eyes Are the Window to the Soul Summary:

Kanao returns from her mission, makes some decisions, and learns that looking Tanjirō in the eyes is a bit like staring into the sun.

Those are the Inosuke and Kanao chapters done. I'm really happy how they turned out. Tanjirō with cosmic sun powers is so fun to play with. I love this AU.

[chaotickasugaicrows]

Hello, we aren't dead. Law school tried for me (Smol) but did not quite succeed.

Anyway, wanted to let y'all know that I wrote chapter 3 and chapter 4 of Blood of Hinokami.

Chapter Three Summary:

Tanjirō suffers the world’s worst fever. Shinobu attempts to help. She really does her best. Not her fault Tanjirō is medically impossible now.

Chapter Four Summary:

Zenitsu worries for his friend and hears more than he ought.

So, yup. I'm trying out different povs. It is fun watching people freak out over Tanjirō with cosmic sun powers.

[suns-fanart]

I doodled these a month ago

[chaotickasugaicrows]

These are beautiful. I love the colors for Obanai's serpent breathing.

[bbq-potato-chip]

moving forward

[chaotickasugaicrows]

So pretty. Plus Chuntaro!! We always appreciate people remembering Chuntaro exists.

[beddybites]

kanao art i forgot to post... kanao for u the world

[chaotickasugaicrows]

reblogging Kanao because look at her

[chaotickasugaicrows]

Just wanted to say that I (Smol) wrote the next chapter for Blood of Hinokami. I actually posted it some days back but I've been so busy and I meant to post here but better late than never.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Fic Summary

The goddess Hinokami intended on blessing the latest sun breather in his fight against demons. When she realizes Tanjirō is her descendant, she awakens his latent abilities instead. Muzan Kibutsuji arrogantly claimed the gods never saw fit to punish him in all of one thousand years. If Yoriichi Tsugukuni wasn’t enough, one Tanjirō Kamado with the power of the sun flowing through his veins is more than willing to make the Demon King rethink that claim.

[chaotickasugaicrows]

I (Smol) has been unbelievably busy but I wrote this little thing (a bit rough) I'd like to share. It's for the Avatar AU.

Here's the Fire Nation lore. (just in case)

First, a little note. In Mugen Train, there is a young man with Tuberculosis that is meant to crush Tanjirō’s spiritual core. However, he is shocked by the kindness shown to him by the little sun spirits, the gentleness within Tanjirō’s soul. I’ve named him Yuzuru which depending on the kanji used (if my research wasn’t wrong) can mean modesty/humility or knot/bind and string/chord. I think that fits.

Yuzuru is a soldier in the fire nation, stationed at an important camp in another nation. He’s just a guard, has some talent in using a bow but no bending to speak of. His main job is to guard tents of important high ranking people. It’s boring but it isn’t all that dangerous so his mother is happy. Honestly, he didn’t care to be on the front lines or anything, unlike one of his frequent partner guards who’s just itching to fight but too respectful to complain. Yuzuru doesn’t understand her. The pay isn’t good enough to die and then if he’s dead what good does the money do (unless there’s a family or someone to support but he knows she doesn’t have that.)

So, he stands outside tents or gets watch duty on the tower. Ugh, the tower sucks. It’s cold and dark and way too easy to hallucinate things in the silence. Still, his job isn’t really eventful. Sometimes he catches bits and pieces of the meetings in the tents. Generals and commanders and strategists discussing the state of the troops, where the front lines are, timelines, and all that. He doesn’t ask questions and keeps silent about anything he hears. One man stands out to him. They call him General Kokushibo. That's not his actual name but no one addresses him as General Tsugukuni. Yuzuru doesn't know how he got the second name but it doesn’t matter. If the Fire Lord is represented by the Sun, then his right hand general is the Moon. Just because you can’t see him doesn’t mean he isn’t already after you. The Dragon of the West is another moniker. He’s terrifying because he earned his power and reputation honestly. No one would dare say he wasn’t a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield and there was extra respect among the soldiers because he didn’t shy away from the front lines. Lately, however, he’d been taking more breaks. Traveling back to the capital more often. Not many knew why but there were rumors. Of course there were rumors. So imagine Yuzuru’s surprise when he’s put on guard duty for a tent as usual and General Kokushibu walks out followed by a twelve year old boy. That’s right. A fucking child with red hair in a ponytail not dissimilar to the General. The kid is wearing a smaller version of a standard uniform. He didn’t know they made them in that size. This is the first time Yuzuru has serious questions and doesn't know if he’ll be able to restrain himself. But it’s not over. Almost as soon as the kid passes him, another kid emerges from the tent. An 11 year old girl in the same downsized uniform and with her black hair in a ponytail. He isn’t allowed to ask questions. Yuzuru repeats that mantra in his head and does his best to keep his mouth shut and ears open. Yuzuru sees them a few more times over the next week. Neither of them seem happy to be there but they’re professional. The serious looks on their face don’t belong to kids their age. He hears all sorts of rumors (people tend to forget he’s standing there.) How the General takes them to strategy meetings where they act as silent shadows. How the girl took on a soldier in a spar and won. How the boy’s flames had a hint of blue. How they both stopped by the medicine tents to help out. People speculate how proud the General must be. To have such talented and dedicated children. He trains them and drills them. He’s harsh, they say. None of those people see the General leave his tent in the morning and sigh. None of them see the glimpses of worry in his eyes before he too banishes it in favor of the same blank mask he’s passed on to his kids. Yuzuru is just a guard. He doesn't get to ask questions. Much later, he’ll find out those two are General Kokushibo’s kids. It’s not long before they earn a similar moniker to their father, the Twin Tigers of the West. Sometimes together, sometimes not. Terrifyingly good fire benders and fighters. Still, Yuzuru will never forget the first time he saw them. In those uniforms, following their father. They didn’t pay him to ask questions, Yuzuru told himself not to ask questions. But if he could, if he could ask those kids just one question it’d have to be, “What do you like to do for fun?” And if he could ask his nation one question, his Fire Lord, it’d be “What honor is there in sending children to war?”

Anyway, as you can tell I have feelings about this AU. Yup the kids are Tanjirō and Nezuko. Kokushibu aka Michikatsu doesn't care for them at first but they grow on him, even though it takes him quite a while to realize just how much. I initially wrote this without having a specific character in mind but the guy from Mugen Train fit super well. Hope you liked it.

Here's the Fire Nation lore if you need a refresher or read this post first.

[spibder]

no thoughts. zentan as ac villagers. 

inosuke and nezuko arent present but nezuko would be a black cat and inosuke,,, a pig,, obviously

[magnetsonfridges]

Zenitsu BDAY doodles !! 🎴⚡️🎴⚡️ wahoooo

[chaotickasugaicrows]

Reuploading because there was a little mishap which deleted the post. Sorry 😞 I (Smol) didn’t get to see what everyone said.

OG caption was something like: I (Smol) had a very rough week (longest week of my life fr) But I took the time to make these because they brought me joy. Worth it. Don’t they look cool?

[mpointplum-deactivated20240915]

lost the love of his life, and he's full of sadness

[makishimu]

Heyy guess what, even during Artfight I manage to draw some Thunder Bros

I tried to change Kai's colors accordingly to more recent episodes, but picking colors from a screenshot that takes place during the night is difficult. His eyes might change color again if he gets more screentime in the future

This is an attack on the amazing @ane-doodles

[chaotickasugaicrows]

Hello, Smol here to make an announcement. I am starting law school so that's why we've been way less active as you may have noticed. We will probably continue to have spotty activity as I adjust. My partner Lilith however is now on break from his education and is working on some art for the future. In the meantime, we will probably reblog other people's kny art every once in a while. Thank you!
