Single-handedly Restoring My Faith In Romance
So is romance dead? In the real world, possibly. Yet, here are some of the greatest fics that feed the fantasy (all while raising my expectations to Mount Everest’s growing height for romance in real life) that it can exist.

Summary
Eddie and Steve have been spending a lot of time together since Vecna. They're co-parenting kids, getting high every night, and sleeping in the same bed. They basically share a wardrobe too.
He thinks this is dangerous, its like they’re married, the casual sharing of intimacy, this space between them which feels like something and nothing all at the same time. He thinks it’s dangerous for him to pretend Steve sees it the same way, that one day Steve’s droopy, kind eyes are going to see right through him and he’ll lose this. This being a side of Steve’s bed that is his, a nightstand where his rings always pile, a drawer of shirts in Steve’s bedroom that only Eddie uses. He can’t lose it, so he shuts his mouth, turns out the light, and watches the slow breathing of sleep fill Steve’s chest.

Summary
It was a magazine. Stacked within a rack was the face of Tanjirou Kamado, looking way prettier and much more handsome than Zenitsu could even remember. Was it make-up...? Was it his outfit and the way he smiled at the camera? Counting by the height of the rack versus the one sole copy of the magazine left, the only conclusion was that the issue was selling out.
The love story between idol Tanjirou and the orphan Zenitsu.

Bookmarker's Notes
This destroyed my heart and soul.
Holy sh**, I went to sleep at four am because of this.
The amount of times I cried is actually ridiculous. I am a mess and nothing can change that.

Summary
A series where Nezuko is a demon slayer and Tanjiro is a demon. I try to follow cannon events but also pepper in a little bit of zentan moments. This series ranges from Zenitsu and Nezuko's meeting to the swordsmith village arc so beware of spoilers!
