21-year-old Zenitsu Agatsuma walks out of a blood bath with a baby named "Taiyo". With the boy's parents dead, the Thunder Hashira took it upon himself to get him the help he needs. He had eyes like gold and a laugh that soothed Zenitsu's grief-stricken ears. The obvious solution would be to hand him over to the right authorities. Leave him at an orphanage, perhaps.
But the thought of that made Zenitsu sick.

a/n:
hi everyone! thanks for checking out my fic! zenitsu's gonna seem really OOC in this one, but i'll be sure to explain his character change properly. (and maybe even revert him back to his adorable old self!) but he'll be donning a kuudere-type attitude until then.
is this whole thing just a self-indulgent zenitsu-centric, zenitsu x tanjiro, found-family troupe story with no particular plot? the answer is yes.
warnings:
βͺβ±β‘.major manga spoilers!
βͺβ±β‘.the story takes place after the final battle with muzan. this is an AU where he survived and the corporation ultimately failed. more details will be revealed as you read along.
βͺβ±β‘.will also contain some canon-typical violence. blood, gore, the usual stuff, you know?
βͺβ±β‘. not necessarily a warning but GENYA and MUICHIRO are alive in this au. half boys didn't deserve to die like that, so here we are.

FOREWORD
It was just another mission. Another city in need of saving. The demon he was after had fire for its Blood Art, and it made sure to cause as much damage as possible. Zenitsu did his best to keep the carnage to a minimum, but the thing was out of control. At least fifty people were already dead when he got there. The fight ends in a dimly lit house. His golden blade sliced through the monster's neck and had it fading before sunrise.
It was just another mission.
He was about to return to headquarters when he heard an infant's cry.
