Kisuke takes a step back as Rerugen rises from the bed, and immediately has to bite his lip to keep from reacting to how short Rerugen suddenly is! Normally Rerugen barely has to tip his head to meet Kisuke’s gaze, but now he’s almost as small as Yoruichi is in her human form! (And so …

By the time Uryuu woke up again, it was late in the morning and he could hear Urahara moving around in the main room. It was tempting — it was very tempting — to just… lay in bed for a while longer. Maybe for the entire day. Urahara had, after all, called him in, even …

The pace picked up almost exponentially after that night of uncomfortable conversation; Urahara took a more active role in research, consuming and then explaining text after text that had stymied Uryuu for weeks-months-years as if they were beginner texts with straightforward information. (Not that the man was very good at explaining, but they worked it …

Uryuu threw himself into his studies with fervor after Ryuuken’s impromptu visit to his office, sensing that some looming deadline was approaching that he desperately needed to avoid.

An AU where everyone has wings but they’re hidden unless willingly shown. Most people leave them out with pride, but some hide them away. Because each feather is a thought someone has had about you where they were thinking of nothing but you, and to some, this is a beautiful experience. For Kisuke, his wings …

Kisuke slips out of the house while Sora is distracted with the cleanup from breakfast, and heads straight towards Erich’s place. He hopes the young man will forgive him for that, but… he can’t wait any longer. (Assurances aside, he needs to see Erich with his own eyes to rest easy.) (He just… he needs …

Kisuke jerks awake at the sound of footsteps, the breath catching in his throat and one hand reaching for his blade— “Woah, hey, just me,” a vaguely familiar voice announces even as the footsteps halt. “There’s no danger around.” Kisuke scrubs at his face, trying to shake the cobwebs from his mind, and then glances …

It’s a week before he leaves the safety of the shoten, a week spent focusing on anything (everything) except Erich. The connection still remains between them, is still an unerring compass pointed in Erich’s direction, but unlike before, Erich doesn’t approach him. He can tell that Erich is still moving about — likely to different …

Kisuke is more vigilant about remaining out of Erich’s sight from then on. He doesn’t want to risk the man’s fury, doesn’t want to have to see what Benihime has done— (Even if he should, at least to make sure she hasn’t done something terrible to Erich, no matter how much she insists otherwise.) (Still, …

They meet again on the battlefield. Kisuke is late this time, having been caught up in clearing out a monster nest, and isn’t paying attention to his senses the way he should.

“Shit,” Ichigo spat as he hastily lowered Rerugen’s body the rest of the way to the floor and straightened the man’s limbs out with Uryuu’s help. “Got any idea what the hell all that was about?” he absently asked as he unbuttoned Rerugen’s overshirt and carefully peeled it back to get a better look at …

Link gave the dying embers of his fire one last poke, before sighing and kicking dirt over it, extinguishing its final dim glow and leaving the small cave lit only by the pale, rainbow-ripple of light coming off of the tele-pad and shimmering atop the little pools of water scattered around. The silence settled around …

The trail through the forest is no less meandering than it had been inside the wards, wending between bits of cover along the ward-line for a short distance before turning and heading deeper into the forest. It’s a long, tense, silent trek through the night-dark woods, following a trail of blood back-back-back, through the darkest …
