Summary
A story of seeking normalcy, accepting change, serving obligation, mourning friends, bearing heartbreak, and finding a reason.
After the fate-determining battle against Muzan, the transition from a demon-infested world to one free of them has brought peace into Tanjiro and Kyojuro’s lives, a tranquil existence they have their fallen friends to thank for.
Not free from inner-demons or the deep longing they have for one another, though, the ex-demon slayers grapple with the changes in their lives all while shouldering a deep and unrequited love for each other.
Living with this ache and accepting the curse of his mark, Tanjiro’s longing turns to heartbreak when he learns that the man he loves is participating in an omiai with the expectation to marry.

Summary
Hell is other people. Purgatory is being a twenty something weatherman with the memories of a being a media overlord who had the entirety of Hell wrapped around his finger.
Sent back to his mortal life with a chance to "do it right this time", Vox has a problem. The Angels have installed a patch in his soul: the Pacifist Protocol. If he tries to kill a rival, poison a boss, or throw a punch, he is paralyzed by blinding agony.
He cannot claw his way to the top if he can't use his claws. He needs a loophole.

Summary
"For what is a man, what has he got? - If not himself, then he has naught - To say the things he truly feels - And not the words of one who kneels - The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way"
Following the finale, the hotel and the Vees decide to forbid the now-free Alastor and the now-subdued Vox from seeing each other after the stunt they’ve pulled, afraid they’d cause more trouble for hell.
But obsessive hatred runs quite deep, and if the two can’t find a way to ruin each other’s lives in hell, they’d risk everything to find another way in another place.
Somewhere out there exists a universe in which Alastor and Vox are as close in every sense as possible. Geographically, temporally, emotionally. An alternative version of Al and Vincent on Earth in the modern times. One day, they begin to get spontaneously possessed by their demon counterparts, whose plan consists of tormenting each other in their bodies.
Their possessions won’t always be timely consistent, leading to a few teeny-tiny... mishaps.

Summary
It was the summer of 1926, the summer when a lightning strike detonating over a million pounds of explosives in New Jersey would be the second most devastating event of the year for humanity. The most devastating would occur in New Orleans in June, and it would make so much less noise that it would go unnoticed by the entire population of Earth save the two people participating in it.

Summary
The year is 1949 and Vincent's been dragged down to New Orleans (of all places) by the top brass during network negotiations.
On a steamboat for a swanky soiree following this, he comes across a captivating entertainer. Things go spectacularly awry. He may also fall in love in the process (or whatever).
-- Or --
Alastor begrudgingly performs at his boss's soiree. Things go spectacularly awry. Consequently, Alastor's concience makes a rare appearance (much to his dismay).
