There's a fanfic called 'Gabimaru and Sagiri: The Unlikely Alliance'. In this one, they start off as reluctant partners but gradually form a deep connection. The author does an amazing job of showing Gabimaru's protective side towards Sagiri and how Sagiri comes to respect Gabimaru's skills and determination. It has some really intense and emotional scenes that make it a great read.
Tanjiro might use his sense of smell to detect hidden threats. Since his sense of smell is super - enhanced, he could sniff out any demons or traps in the way of saving Rengoku. For example, if there are demons disguised as allies, Tanjiro would be able to tell by their scent.
Characterization is key. A good Gabimaru x Sagiri fanfic should accurately portray their personalities. Gabimaru is tough yet has a soft side, and Sagiri is strong - willed and determined. If the fanfic can show how they complement each other, it's great. For example, Gabimaru's combat skills and Sagiri's strategic mind working together.
