Inotan Fics by Catladywriter

Where the Wisteria Always Bloom

About this series: Set in the years after the main story ends, this is a series of fluffy (and sometimes smutty) romcoms where Tanjirou, Inosuke, Zenitsu and Nezuko are co-owners of a successful eatery called the Wisteria Garden, leading happy and fulfilling lives together. It predominantly features InoTan, with ZenNezu as a side pairing. These stories are connected and best read in consecutive order. However, they can also be read as standalone fics.The wonderful illustration on this page is by the talented Rename_重名君 for my fic Stares in this Town.

I tend to tweak my writing whenever I reread it (my cursed perfectionism!). While I post my work to multiple places, the most updated version will always live on AO3. The changes are minor and don't affect the overall story.

(1) Stares in This Town
Two years after the Demon Slayer Corps disbanded, the Kamado siblings inherit an eatery from a family friend. Tanjirou and his found family are excited to begin a new chapter of their lives. For Inosuke, this means making some challenging adjustments, but his best friends are there for him.Status: CompleteRead on AO3 (latest version) | Read on TumblrRead in Chinese: On AO3 (uncensored, latest version) | On Lofter

(2) Kisses for An Idiot
Since that time when Tanjirou first held his hand, Inosuke seemed to have become addicted to hand holding. He would find any opportunity to hold Tanjirou’s hand as long as it was available. Tanjirou thought he was just nervous without his mask and being constantly around people. But… why’d he start kissing him too?Status: CompleteRead on AO3 (latest version) | Read on TumblrRead in Chinese: On AO3 (uncensored, latest version) | On Lofter

(3) Pet the Cat
Inosuke wasn’t sure why he bothered rescuing the cat. In the wild, it was survival of the fittest and the weak were left to die. But saving the cat felt like something Tanjirou, Zenitsu, and even Nezuko would do. Before he could second guess his decision, he’d jumped into the freezing cold river at the beginning of winter without a shirt on and plucked the drowning feline from the clutches of death.But far from being grateful, the cat turned out to be a good-for-nothing that poached his underlings and bossed them around in ways unimaginable to him. When it started competing with him for attention from his Underling Number One, Inosuke decided he must show this arrogant fluffball who’s boss!Status: CompleteRead on AO3 (latest version) | Read on TumblrRead in Chinese: On AO3 (uncensored, latest version) | On Lofter

(4) The Height of Friendship
Inosuke’s excitement knew no bounds when he finally surpassed Tanjirou and Zenitsu in height. But a series of incidents lead him to believe that being taller than his companions comes with drawbacks, leaving him feeling left out and dejected. Determined to lift Inosuke’s spirits, Tanjirou hatches a plan. Zenitsu is sceptical about the feasibility of the hare-brained scheme, but decides to put friendship before sensibility. Will the plan succeed, or will it backfire?Status: CompleteRead on AO3 (latest version) | Read on TumblrRead in Chinese: On AO3 (uncensored, latest version) | On Lofter

(5) Drinking Party
Tanjirou, Inosuke and Zenitsu decide to have a drinking party with the drinks Tengen had brewed himself and gifted Tanjirou for his 18th birthday. Tanjirou, who had seen the dark side of alcohol, volunteered to stay sober and watch over his friends. But a mix-up happened and Tanjirou ended up drinking the wrong drink. As he got progressively drunk, Inosuke and Zenitsu have to deal with his drunken antics. Will they survive the night?Status: CompleteRead on AO3 (latest version) | Read on TumblrRead in Chinese: On AO3 (uncensored, latest version) | On Lofter

(6) Pretty Privilege
Tanjirou, Nezuko, Zenitsu and Inosuke have been running the Wisteria Garden, a cozy and popular eatery, for two years. Their peaceful routine is disrupted when a rude customer tries to harass Inosuke for his good looks, then proceeds to insult him when asked to leave. Tanjirou’s protective instincts flare up. (Cue Tanjirou publicly giving his boyfriend such sweet compliments that Inosuke can’t help but blush)Status: CompleteRead on AO3 (latest version) | Read on TumblrRead in Chinese: On AO3 (uncensored, latest version) | On Lofter

(7) Sleeping Together
After retiring from demon slaying, Zenitsu relished the familiar comfort of sharing a room with his best friends at the Kamado household. But bedtime soon turned into a battleground when Inosuke, seeking warmth or simply craving cuddles, decided to ditch his own futon to snuggle up with Tanjirou. The couple’s nighttime activities disrupt Zenitsu’s sleep, propelling him into a struggle for some much-needed peace and quiet.Status: CompleteRead on AO3 (latest version) | Read on TumblrRead in Chinese: On AO3 (uncensored, latest version) | On Lofter

(8) Love Bugs
Nezuko’s impromptu hair cut session for Inosuke and Tanjirou turns into a wild chase when she discovers curious welts on their necks. These weren’t the usual training scars. These were shaped like crescent moons or bruised circles, tinged with a faint reddish hue that deepened when the boys stammered excuses. Zenitsu’s flippant story about “love bugs” only fueled Nezuko’s worries and determination to get to the bottom of things.Status: CompleteRead on AO3 (latest version) | Read on TumblrRead in Chinese: On AO3 (uncensored, latest version) | On Lofter

(9) A Little Pain
Inosuke and Tanjirou eagerly explore their newfound intimacy, but they soon discover that sex isn't quite as straightforward as they thought. Their first time is filled with scorching pleasure, but also unexpected pain. What could have gone wrong? They're determined to find their rhythm, one hot, sweaty encounter at a time. (Featuring plenty of sexy times and a steamy bath tub scene!)Status: CompleteRead on AO3 (latest version)

He yearns to give his sister the dream wedding she deserves. A cosy ceremony filled with the couple’s closest friends seems ideal. Inosuke's impulsive proposal to Tanjirou and insistence on having a wedding too throws a wrench into the plan. Nezuko suggests a double wedding, and though surprised, Tanjirou can't help but smile. After all, they've always been a team.But his easygoing nature is soon tested as his ever-growing list of pen pals turns their intimate ceremony into a guest list explosion. Between logistical nightmares, mysterious illnesses, jealous outbursts, and two quarrelsome grooms, will love truly conquer all?Status: Work in ProgressRead on AO3 (latest version)

(11) Honeymoon Heat in the AlleyOn their honeymoon in Kyoto, the summer festival’s chaos overwhelms Inosuke. Tanjirou takes him to a secluded alley for a calming embrace.

Despite the risk and inappropriate setting, Tanjirou finds himself giving in to Inosuke’s desires.(aka Inosuke and Tanjirou indulging in a fiery tryst against a gritty alley wall.)Status: CompleteWarning: Contains sexually explicit contentRead on AO3 (latest version) | Read on Tumblr

Other Inotan Fics

Inotan fics outside of the Where the Wisteria Always Bloom series.

I tend to tweak my writing whenever I reread it (my cursed perfectionism!). While I post my work to multiple places, the most updated version will always live on AO3. The changes are minor and don't affect the overall story.

Nosebleed
Inosuke’s mundane task of cleaning the neighbour’s storeroom took an unexpected turn when he stumbled upon a hidden collection of erotic paintings. As his eyes roved over the provocative artwork, a nosebleed erupted, capturing Tanjirou’s attention. As Tanjirou fussed over Inosuke’s well-being, a flurry of unexpected and confusing emotions overwhelmed Inosuke, leaving him with a newfound awareness of his deeper feelings for Tanjirou.Amidst the confusion, Zenitsu burst into the room, misinterpreting the situation entirely. Convinced that he had been excluded from a secret pornography viewing session, Zenitsu’s outrage reached new heights, and all hell broke loose.Status: CompleteRead on AO3 (latest version) | Read on TumblrRead in Chinese: On AO3 (uncensored, latest version) | On Lofter

Inosuke’s White Day Mission
It’s the day before White Day and Tanjirou is busy making chocolates for all the girls who gave him chocolates on Valentine’s Day. Inosuke thinks it’s a stupid tradition. Why should Tanjirou have to return their favours? Shouldn’t Tanjirou be making chocolates for him instead? Of course, he’s not jealous or anything. Definitely not.Alright, maybe he is a little jealous. After all, he has feelings for Tanjirou and wants to be the one receiving his hand-made chocolates. With a little prodding from Zenitsu and some help from Tanjirou’s family, Inosuke sets out to get the perfect gift to prove that he’s the best candidate for Tanjirou’s White Day chocolates.Status: CompleteRead on AO3 (latest version) | Read on TumblrRead in Chinese: On AO3 (uncensored, latest version) | On Lofter
