How Does Tanjiro X Muichiro Fanfiction Portray Tanjiro’S Warmth Melting Muichiro’S Aloofness?

Okay, here's a friendly take on that comment about Tanjiro and Muichiro, keeping your requests in mind: It's so heartwarming to see how Tanjiro and Muichiro are often portrayed in fanfiction. It's like watching sunshine melt away ice on a river. I've read so many stories where Tanjiro’s sweet nature slowly breaks through Muichiro's shell. It’s not always big gestures, but small acts of kindness that make all the difference. There's one fic I remember where Tanjiro notices Muichiro skipping meals. So, he starts leaving little handmade bento boxes outside Muichiro's door, just a simple sign that he cares. Eventually, Muichiro starts leaving the empty boxes out where Tanjiro can see them, like a little thank you. What’s really cool is how authors show Muichiro changing inside. At first, he might get annoyed when Tanjiro interrupts him, but then he starts looking forward to seeing him. Physical touch also becomes a way they connect. Like Tanjiro might bump shoulders while walking, or hold Muichiro's wrist a little longer than needed during sword practice. Some stories look at how confused Muichiro gets by his own feelings—like, why doesn't he move away? I saw one where he started tilting his head towards Tanjiro's voice in a fight, and their fighting styles just clicked! And the warmth thing isn’t just feelings; some fics have Tanjiro using his fire Breathing techniques to clear the mist around Muichiro during missions. The stories I love most don't rush Muichiro’s changes. Sometimes he goes back to being cold after a hard day, and Tanjiro adjusts. Maybe he just sits with Muichiro in silence or shares a story about his family. There's this amazing fic that used Muichiro's memory loss to show how Tanjiro is a steady presence for him. Their relationship often ends with Muichiro doing sweet things for Tanjiro, like remembering how he likes his tea or protecting him during Hashira meetings. It's not about changing who Muichiro is, but about adding to it so he can connect with others.
