The Silent Current

Summary:

They thought they knew Tomioka Giyu.

Quiet. Distant. Difficult to understand.

But no one ever questioned why his eyes always looked so tired.

Now trapped in a strange room beyond their understanding, the Demon Slayer Corps is forced to witness the life of a boy named Ray - a child raised within the walls of Grace Field House.

A house filled with love.
A house filled with secrets.

And somewhere between those memories and the truth hidden beneath them, the line between Tomioka Giyu and "Ray" slowly begins to blur.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Chapter Text

Hello readers!

Thank you for choosing to read this story. This is my very first work, so I hope you'll enjoy it with me.

English is not my first language, but I'll continue improving as the story progresses. Constructive criticism and grammar corrections are always welcome, so thank you in advance if you point them out.

I've read very few stories where Tomioka Giyu is portrayed as Ray, and even fewer where the Hashiras react to Giyu's past as Ray - most of which sadly ended up discontinued. So, wanting to feed my new obsession, I impulsively decided to write this story myself.

As of now, I fully intend to continue this fic, so let's hope my motivation survives alongside it 😂

Important Notes

• I'll be using both the manga and anime versions of The Promised Neverland depending on what fits the story best.

• The storyline will change according to my own interpretation and convenience.

• This is an AU.

• Some timelines and character ages may differ.

• None of the characters belong to me. I only own the reactions and plot changes written in this story.

• The updates will not be regular. I have a full time job so I can only write when I am free.

• Thank you for your patience. Let's start with the story.

 

I have only posted this work on Wattpad and Ao3 as of now. You can follow the story there too.
