Pairing: Akaza (kimetsu no yaiba) x Reader
Summary: following the death of her mother, reader is married to a man she’s never met, and now must learn to live with her new husband, Tozen. However, things take a turn when he disappears during a business trip, returning nearly a week later, different.
This is a slow-build fic, and I do mean slow-build. Akaza/reader is end-game I swear, but it takes a while for that to come around. Lot of hurt/comfort with a predominance in hurt. There is canon-typical violence and assault, as well as possibly triggering sexual trauma in this work. Reader discretion is advised and proper warnings are in the introductory author’s notes of every chapter to allow for full avoidance of any themes that may be triggering to audience. Every chapter also has a closing author’s note, which usually covers the important concepts of the chapter to allow viewers to skip certain parts but still move forward and enjoy the fic as a whole.
This fic contains graphic depictions of violence, assault, and adult themes. It will eventually include smut, so if you’re under 18 don’t touch this. Thanks.
:) Soooo I’m writing an Akaza/reader slow-build fic because I need it in my life. Uhhh this is the first time I’ve ever posted anything like this on Tumblr, and I almost didn’t because it’s on AO3 and easy to find there… but I know a lot of people tag-crawl here for fics to read so I’m putting it here for people to find.
This is my first fic ever, in fact it’s my first creative writing piece I’ve ever done besides a story I wrote in like 7th grade, and you know your average schoolwork assignments. So, if you’re gonna critique please be gentle, but I’m not afraid of people pointing out mistakes in my writing for me to correct.
The fic on AO3 actually begins on chapter 2, because chapter 1 is just a general background on myself and possibly triggering contents of the story. This is coming predominantly from a need to write to heal in my heart, but if you aren’t able to read distressing or painful writing this is probably not for you. I don’t want anyone going into this fic thinking it’s gonna be fun and nice— it’s hurt/comfort with a REALLY strong basis in hurt. I still haven’t decided if I want to post the chapters themselves in writing here on tumblr, and make a masterlist for the fic— I actually might not even know how to do that, lol. For now, I’ll probably just… post the chapter links. That’s easier.
It’s like super obvious that I do not know what I’m doing lol help 🥲
Lmao I have NOT abandoned this, I’m still trying to write it, I’m just on hiatus rn bc college kicked my ass until mid-May, then work kicked my ass for a month, and now I’m on my way to field camp in Montana.
But like we’re gonna be living in campsites n shit for the next month and a half, and I don’t have my Xbox or laptop or anything for downtime so guess what I’m gonna do?
You’re exactly right, I’m gonna not write, I’m gonna DRAW-
Nah I’ll be writing on my phone 😂 the itch is back, and I already have like 2 chapters outlined I just haven’t written them cause I’m a silly goose.
I’m excited :))

Akaza? ❄️
Hi I love this unapologetically.
Google, tell me the word for someone who needs emotional pain and then comfort. Someone who just has a need for being broken down and then put back together. The need for someone to emotionally hurt them and then fix it. What’s that? Tell me.
#this is humor#i can’t call this masochism#or can I#my friend just doesn’t get it :(#lol they’re like “what does that even mean”#it means what it means#i need emotional pain#but not open-ended pain#like you gotta eventually fix it#this is why angst/comfort fics are like crack to me#fills that mental itch#i need someone to make me cry#the angst#angst#fanfic#fanfiction

The amount of women on here blindly supporting amber is repulsive. Every time i follow a new blog it turns out theyre AH supporters.
I am the type of person to always believe the woman, even without any evidence at all. Id rather believe a false accusor than support an abusor for five seconds. But it is ABUNDANTLY clear that amber turd is a textbook manipulative abuser, it has been since *day one* and ever since it has become more and more obvious.
You all need to take a moment for deep inner reflection. Why is it youre choosing to ignore the facts? Were you abused in a similar manner, but dont want to acknowledge it? Were you abusive in a similar manner, and dont want to be honest about your actions? Or, do you just not give a damn about justice at all unless it fits your narrative?
I have structured and restructured and written and rewritten this next chapter for my fic like 3 times. I have 2 separate drafts and a third one in the makings.
I know where I INTEND to go, but the path there is unclear and shaky and the best option for the [introduction of a certain character and then consequent propagation of a certain type of relationship that will develop slowly until a pivotal point changes everything]
Eludes me.
I know where I want to go. But I can’t seem to find the path there.
This is the first time since starting this fic that I’ve had so much trouble writing it. And I usually update at least once a week if not more, because up until now it’s just flowed. 7 chapters, of average 5K+ words each, and somehow this one point in the plot has thrown this train into a screeching halt.
How annoying. :/

Anonymous asked:
Out of curiosity, how did you get into fanfiction writing? What is your writing process like?
I’ve thought off and on about writing for nearly 3 years now but every time I think I might start, I decide against it. I feel like I wouldn’t have a good story to write because I never have a set plot, just specific scenes I see in my head that I want to write, that I’d have to connect somehow. And when I think of a story, it changes so many times in my head if I ever actually tried to write one I think I’d never finish it.
But there is one scene I keep seeing in my head over and over, and my heart wants to write it, to write an entire multi-part story to make this one scene happen, but my head is so scared I feel like I can’t. (It’s actually a scene with Akaza from Demon Slayer, lol). How does anyone get over that fear?
Hello, Anon!
These are some amazing questions. They really take me back when I first started writing, which really could’ve been ten years ago!
First of all, I want to establish that the only way you can start writing is if you just sit down and write. Acknowledge that the first product might not be the quality you’re looking for, but its a place to start and grow. I’ve had to write millions of words and analyze different methods of story telling to get to where I am now, and I believe at this point, I can openly admit without fearing I’d sound full of myself that I have approached a very good place in my writing. But its taken ten years. As Rengoku-san said, time won’t wait for us. So its really up to us to seize the moment and just write.
Now in order of your questions. I got into fanfiction writing because I started reading fanfiction about ten years ago. It was sometime in my early teens when I was looking up photos of my favorite character from an anime and stumbled on a site called fanfiction.net. The more I read, the more I wanted to write too! So I devised my own story and started writing it down in a notebook. Eventually, I made an account and after several months of having the account, I was finally brave enough to post the first chapter. I never finished the story, and that stands for the majority of pieces on that account.
But that’s okay. I was a fledgling learning what I liked and didn’t like, and that’s something that’s part of the writing process. No one will know what they expect from themselves unless they read. Its really the first step. Digest good literature, analyze writing styles, break out the thesaurus and mix up your vocabulary, think of out of the box verbs - basically, writing is taking risks, and unless the risks are taken, change won’t happen.
Its similar in music. I’ve mentioned in other posts that in addition to writing, I am also a musician (and artist because apparently I want ALL the hobbies). A big part of expressing yourself in music is taking risks. Swell that crescendo, bring out that moving part, find a different articulation for those notes. In an ensemble, I’m not the only one doing it either. We’re all there together taking risks to produce the best kind of music that we can.
It absolutely applies to writing. I think the most enriching experience has been interacting with other writers. We read each other’s works, RP with each other, and it really has given me insight into another writer’s mind and exposed me to different stylistic elements I found appealed to me. So I adopted them!
In art, it isn’t uncommon to see an element of someone’s art style and apply it to your own, which is where the reading comes into play again. Interacting with other writers, reading works of fiction and nonfiction at times as well, and taking the risk to sit down and write are things I have found help me be successful.
I also have an original project I’ve been working on for several years, but I want to plot everything out before I sit down and write out the chapters. One thing I have found very useful is a small notepad, or note app for those who prefer digital, for jotting down ideas when I have them. This way, they’re not lost in the already muddled thoughts of my mind.
Now when it comes to writing a multi chapter story…sometimes winging it works just as well. I honestly had no idea what I was doing with Haunted the first eight chapters. Those were all pulled right out of my ass. Sometimes that’s how it is. Not everything needs to be meticulously plotted, else it becomes dry and uninspired. Leave room for events or dialogue to naturally happen. Plot your biggest points and the rest often works itself out.
The beauty of writing is you also don’t have to share it. I know writers who do write often but keep most of their work to themselves. And that’s okay. If you don’t like what you have written the first several drafts, you don’t have to share it at all. Writing, in my perspective, shouldn’t be for others, but for the sake of yourself as its something that should be enjoyed.
There’s also no shame in trying it and finding you don’t like it, but don’t give up after the first try! Or the second! Or the third!
Its never going to be perfect. We’re human! And that’s okay. The fear of starting something new is intimidating for anyone, but all it takes it taking the step from what is known and comfortable into the unknown. Its how humans change and grow. Change isn’t always a bad thing! Its scary, absolutely, but nothing to truly fear. In fact, I absolutely commented on my first fanfic as a guest to make myself feel better because my fic wasn’t getting any traffic.
Which was understandable. I’m far too terrified to read it and see how I’ve grown.
But that could be inspiring for some! People keep old art to track their progress, and that can definitely be done with writing.
In conclusion, because this is an essay at this point, writing is about risk and learning. Its constantly evolving. Maybe the first thing you write won’t be so great, but that only means the second will be better, and you have only upwards to go! Read and absorb information constantly. Watch videos on how to plot, write notes down somewhere, create charts and forms to organize them. Everyone is different, so you’ll always find different methods out there.
And who knows? Maybe what’s in that beautiful brain of yours is something special? It would be a damn shame if it was to never be developed. So give it a try. That’s all I could really say.
Take some risks. I hope this was useful, and if there’s anything you want me to break down and simplify, please don’t be afraid to ask. I’d be happy to expand on anything. Thank you for sending in your ask. This was quite fun to write!
ONE LAST THING. The most important. Have fun, no matter what you decide to do.
This ask was mine and I can’t thank you enough for the incredible encouragement this filled me with 🙏🏻
I have been dancing around writing for so long it’s ridiculously embarrassing. But this gave me the push of confidence I needed to start writing my first ever fic, and I’m already 7 chapters (35K words) in and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve been posting on AO3 for like a month~ish now, and I’m dancing on the edges of posting the actual fic or at least links to it here on Tumblr. (Jokes on me this site is actually confusing when it comes to actually creating/posting shit and not just reposting or liking other peoples stuff, and that has slammed me full force.) I might jump on the learning curve and figure out how to make a masterlist for a fic and throw it on here, then learn to format and post every chapter I’ve written thus far and link it. AO3 is nice but I’m also not too fluent in linking those chapters here on tumblr in a way that is pleasing to the eye lol.
ANYWAY.
Thank you 💕 I’m finally Doing The Thing and actually enjoying it, and I’m so excited for what comes next. And I cannot thank you enough for the kind response and words of confidence you gave me, and I hope it helps other people who also were toeing the line like me, wanting to take the leap but afraid of the fall. I made my dive, and it was an extremely emotionally rewarding experience.

It took awhile to update this one, mainly because I chose such a terribly difficult concept to write lmao. But there are some really nice moments in this chapter that I hope the whole thing in general goes over well. As always, here’s a little excerpt below:
Lucifer throws himself full swing into his work, giving out favors, fulfilling desires, calling in every price thereafter. Demons and damned alike wonder just what it was that made the Devil walk in Hell again, stoic and still in his throne for so long. But Lucifer pays them no mind, commanding the underworld, inflicting celestial justice for those who caused so much harm in their human lives. All in the hope that something might come along to distract him from the reality that one errant prayer has forever altered everything he’s ever been or will be.
But then too much time begins to pass. The warmth of her soul becomes little more than a soft memory, an experience that starts to feel like it belongs to someone else entirely. Lucifer attempts to convince himself that it is for the best, that light like hers should not be spent on someone like him. Even if she did pray to him again, he wouldn’t answer. That was resolute. It was a one-time thing, an impulse which merely served to itch a scratch he didn’t know he had. That’s all it was.
He would not answer her again, no matter what it might be that finally makes its way to him.
It was a laughably fragile resolve.
Because in all his imagination, all his deliberation over how she would come into his world again, Lucifer never thought she would ever pray a single, broken word that would be just a breath of her, gone before he could ever hope to hold onto it.
No, she prayed.
And it felt like she was screaming it out for the entire universe to hear. One word.
No.
Reblogging so I can keep up with this and come back later to reread lol

Three chapters in, googling: how long does it take a broken ankle to heal? 👀

Friendly reminder
That Azriel's only argument to be with elain was that his 2 brothers are with Elain's sisters. So no, it’s gwynriel for me, sorry not sorry. I'm open to other opinions and discussions, but that was really his only argument and I'm glad Rhys forbade him to have something with elain
Gwynriel is canon and endgame.
Cope.

Something about comparing Elain to Lady of Autumn rubs me the wrong way and I think this is more about wanting to pass Elain as a tragic figure... when she is not.
Elain is one of the most privileged characters currently. Saying she is privileged does not erase her trauma but she does have many privileges and she can make her own choices because she has the Night Court backing her up. She lives in safety, she has protection, and her every need is fulfilled.
Rhys made it very clear in ACOWAR Elain has a choice in rejecting the mating bond, it's been two years and her not rejecting it is a "choice" as well. Lucien isn't forcing the bond on her and even if she rejects it, Rhys said it'll trail her until the end of her existence (and that's not on Lucien, blame the Cauldron or the Mother).
Lady of Autumn has... no choices and aside from her privileges (protection, status, etc) as a High Lord's wife, she is stripped of any choices or other privileges other ladies of court like Feyre or even Viviane enjoy.
She is a tragic character:
She was forced into an arranged marriage with a man she does not love. She lost her sisters and almost lost her life because Beron could not provide proper protection for them. She could not be with the male she loves (who could potentially be her mate) because of political consequences and she is the wife of a High Lord while her lover was not High Lord at the time. She is a victim of abuse and it's well known how Beron abused her. She had to see her favorite child flee his own home because her husband executed his lover and her other children were sent to kill him, she ends up losing two sons and never seeing the other. Her husband has no respect for her and not surprising since he views her as nothing but a breeding machine.
If we entertain the idea that Lady of Autumn and Helion were mates, their romance is a tragic and forbidden one because they can never be together. Based on ACOWAR, chances of them being mates is very likely so you can imagine the devastation of not having the option of being with the person you want or living the life you want.
Elain being shackled to a mating bond does not make her a tragic character especially when she is not forced into it, she only needs to reject it since she has that choice and then bye bye Lucien. Rhys pulling an order at Azriel after justifying his attraction to Elain by using the (3 brothers + 3 sisters) equation does not make him or Elain tragic figures or Star-crossed lovers the way LoA and Helion are. If Elain rejected the bond and Azriel gave a better explanation of why he wanted Elain than ranting about not having a mate, Rhys wouldn't pull rank on him. Rhys wouldn't put Lucien over Azriel's happiness, but it's not Azriel that did not reject a mating bond with Lucien if he really wanted someone else.
This is something some do not realize:
Elain not making a choice about the mating bond is still a choice.
No one from the IC forced her to deal with Lucien. No one asked her to play pretend because of political consequences. Lucien tries because people forget they're Fae and the bond is a part of his instinct, he is as shackled to her as she is to him. Making a choice is easier on her part because the rejection hits males the hardest.
Elain and Azriel are not living in misery for not kissing, I mean months passed in ACOSF since Solstice and they're both... fine?
Again, saying she is privileged is not belittling her, because compare where she is now to Lady of Autumn? Elain is spending time doing something she loves and lives in safety while Lady of Autumn is still stuck in a treacherous court with a cruel husband. Her not being able to kiss Azriel does not mean all her choices and freedom were taken away or her story is as tragic as LoA.
Elain is a passive character. Her problem isn't not having a choice, its letting others make choices for her. LoA has no choice or protection from Beron and is suffering to protect her children and possibly Helion and has no family to support her around her.

The stars shining above in the sky knows your story, they talk to the moon about how you went through the whole night waiting for the one. They talk about your soft gaze and the small whispers that you make to the universe. The old owl can sense you and feel your emotions from miles away. The waves of the river fighting over and contemplating to get your attention. Everyone looking at you and recognising the light you have within yourself. Unaware of what you are worth, you sit there silently wondering what has happened. Not realising that the moon admires the light that emerges from you. Because creatures of the jungle weren't waiting for the stars this night. They were waiting for you to come out, with every sigh you exhale a healing vibe went through the place. As soon as you close your eyes everyone feels calm inside. You don't know who you are and what you do. And the beauty you hold within yourself is incomparable. The darkness you felt brought you to bring light to those who were immersed in it. You are magnificent and you can't see or feel it, because you are so lost. One day you will realise what you are worth, you won't have to ask people around you, you would know who you are, you won't have to get energy readings, you will feel your energy in your heart. You will be aware of your light and will handshake with the dark. You are the power, you are the one once you look into yourself. The journey is long so you must wait. You will be lost, only to be found by no one but yourself. You will cry but you will hold and console yourself till then walk over this path over spreading light through your love, care and empathy so that you truly live this human life.

Thank you..
