Yuya

Im not really used to sharing my aus on my socials but there’s always a first for everything. This AU is still a little rough around the edges but it’s basically a “what if Muichiro found Tanjirou that day instead of Giyuu?” AU. And just to clarify some details— in this au I aged up Mui to be the same age as Tanjirou. (So they would both be 13 upon meeting) since in the canon timeline Yuichiro getting killed and Tanjirou’s family getting killed happens around the same time if I’m not mistaken, which would make this au virtually impossible in the canon timeline.

As of right now I’ve only really thought about how the first meeting would go. However, I was thinking of Muichiro potentially seeing himself in Tanjirou and his situation made something click within Mui and forego his orders. Maybe Muichiro decides against his best interest to take Tanjirou under his wing and possibly train him himself? It would be a little difficult with him being a hashira and all, but I could probably work something out. ofc it will include Muitan but it’s gonna be one long slow burn this time around, since in this au I am thinking of making Muichiro regaining his memories a more gradual process instead of remembering it all at once. So a lot of mental hurdles and confusion for this boy to go through, fortunately he’ll have the physical embodiment of sunshine to anchor him throughout it ✨
