These are my current fic recommendations and my thoughts on them. Finally posted for all those who’s asking. Will be updating this as soon as I read new fics I think are worth reading. These are mostly GEN fics. Also, please take note that it’s just my opinion so we could have different preferences. Another note is that most of these fics contain spoilers from the manga.

Role-Reversal AU

“Warm as the Sun (Deadly as the Sea)” by JayD - (this is a really heartwarming role-reversal AU. This is actually my favorite of all, I really recommend this. The emotions in this fic is absolutely moving, the way the author writes is very beautiful.)

“The Little Bunny from the Little Mountain” by Sylphib - (This is role-reversal AU with a twist, I love it so far. There are a lot of things that were different from the start but the author handled it pretty well, imo.)

“the door will still be open for you” by jojotier - (another role-reversal AU, of a sort and I absolutely love this! This isn’t a canon divergence but something that happened midway canon, it’s a very interesting take)

“Oleander” by Crownonymous- (the author has an interesting take on this tag as well, but it’s still one chapter so we’ll have to see first where this is going)

“The Color of the World” by Novirp13 - (for those of you who love canon but with roles reversed, this is it. While this story follows canon closely, I still love how the characters were presented. It’s like a rewatch of the show as Nezuko as the protag)

“Shoshin” by Enso2227 (this was the first Role-Reversal AU I actually read in Ao3, and it has a really good premise since Tanjirou retained his human memories and reasoning. And unlike others of this particular tag, Tanjirou remains as the protag of his own story)

Other fics:

“sunfire, sunborn” by mochibun - (Fem!Tanjirou. The author handled this one very well and so beautifully written! The prose is very engaging and Tanjirou remained true to herself, but still obviously female.)

“sun in our hearts, water in your veins” by p3paula - (ok, this is a must read. Giyuu arrives early to save the Kamado family and becomes a demon himself. A powerful fic, imo, and amazingly written.)

“Enough” by littleladybug - (Sanemi-centric, an emotionally moving glimpse into Shinazugawa Sanemi’s thoughts throughout the series with a touch of GenTan. But this one made me cry, so.)

“To the Starting Point” by TsukiMirai - (a reincarnated Yoriichi AU!! We don’t get a lot of this. Tho it’s short, that glimpse into his thoughts was true to his character.)

“metanoia” by aizunobu - (Akaza time-travel AU. It was very intriguing, getting into Akaza’s thoughts and how he came to the decisions he made.)

“Coal Burner’s Frugality” by Kisaeng - (a Tanjirou-driven fic about how other characters care for him. It was so heartwarming. This is a rec for those who are suffering from the manga)

“Sparks” by littleladybug - (Senjurou-centric, another beautifully written fic by the same author of Enough. I love this one as this gives us a glimpse of Senjurou and his mindset up to the point his brother died and after it. What I love about this is the Obanai content, absolutely love this one.)

Links to my Kny fics:

“yet he feels like sunlight” - (https://archiveofourown.org/works/19767055/chapters/46792267) This is actually my take on the role-reversal AU. It currently has 12 chapters so far. A story where Tanjirou went home early instead.

“and the sun sets” by dangerouswoman - (a very different canon-divergence, this AU is where Nezuko didn’t wake up in time to save Tanjirou from Rui, and Giyuu takes her with him. That there is already sad but you’ve got to read it to see how deep this one is.)

“wisteria by any other name” by pitoumugis - (Someone was reborn as Kamado Hanako and survived with Nezuko as a demon too. The writing is beautiful, so far, canon-compliant but I’m waiting to see where it goes.)
