[Main story and extras complete] 01: Kokushibo/Tsugikuni Iwakatsu Arc: Morning Dew [BE]

Tsugikuni Iwakatsu x Tokiko Yamashiro Asatsuyu. The main story is an atypical BE, "Even the moonlight won't shine on me." They don't love each other, it's just a case of what might have been.

The extras have both HE and BE endings, and are longer than the main story (...?).

[Complete] 02: Kyojuro Rengoku Arc: Daybreak [HE]

In the present timeline, it's an HE about an ever-burning flame owl and a hidden big shot with psychological issues who is both being saved and saving herself (probably).

[Complete] 03: Tsugikuni Yoriichi Arc: Scarlet Sun [HE]

An HE, probably about the miserly Scarlet Leaf, who has invested too much to want to split up, and Yoriichi, a combat powerhouse treated as an investment. It's mostly skits with little plot.

[Complete] 04: Gyutaro Arc: Fall [BE]

A BE about Gyutaro, a young debt collector with twisted values who becomes a demon, and Tachibana Kyoka, a courtesan whose evil flower bloomed in the mud. The victim (?) is Gyutaro.

[Complete] 05: Kagaya Ubuyashiki Arc: Kite [HE]

Written from a prompt. I changed it into an HE about being entangled across three lifetimes: Kagaya and an atypical good person who takes Kagaya as their code of conduct. Companionship, release, and fulfillment.

[Complete] 06: Gyomei Himejima Arc: Completeness [HE]

Written from a prompt, HE. Gentle and powerful Mr. Gyomei x Mizutani Madoka, a Breath of Rock Tsuguko who returned from hell. A subtle mutual salvation.

[Complete] 07: Inosuke Hashibira Arc: Wild Paulownia [HE]

Written from a prompt, HE. Inosuke, guided by animal instinct, x Yuzuriha Kiri, who likes peaceful, quiet days. Slice-of-life skits.

[Complete] 08: Giyu Tomioka Arc: Dawnlight [HE]

Written from a prompt, HE. Giyu Tomioka, whose senior fellow students are alive, and the lively little ray of sunshine Minaki Akatsuki. One-quarter plot and three-quarters everyday-life skits (probably).

[Complete] 09: Muichiro Tokito Arc: Haze [BE]

Written from a prompt, no CP, family-focused + stream of consciousness + BE. The story of an embodiment of the concept of Breath of Mist and Muichiro, with a short modern reincarnation HE extra.

[Complete] 10: Hantengu Arc: Unweaving [Neither BE nor HE]

Written from a prompt. The nature of the ending is hard to define. No real emotional investment, and it's a kind of narcissism (?) featuring Tsukimi Iori, an antisocial young lady with superpowers that counter demons, x Hantengu, a boy band of clones.

[Complete] 11: Zenitsu Agatsuma Arc: Peach [HE]

Written from a prompt, HE. Clingy crybaby idiot Zenitsu Agatsuma x Midoriya Toki, selectively sharp-tongued and reliably dependable forever. It turned into modern AU skits.
