“What the hell?” Rukia hissed at Ichigo as he shattered her bonds and hefted her under his free arm. “Where the hell did you find a dragon?!” “Beats me, frankly,” Ichigo admitted as he darted away from the execution stand. He squinted up at the great blue dragon circling overhead and frowned deeper, sheathing his …

“Are you sure we shouldn’t go out right now?” Ichigo asked as he and Uryuu followed Rerugen back into his home at last. His muscles burned from all running and wrestling, but he’d fought in worst shape before. And he had his pack with him, plus Rerugen. “We don’t know how long it will take …

The sound of voices rouses Erich from his nap and he cocks an ear to listen, not bothering to lift his head or open his eyes. The words are too indistinct to make out but the tone carries through the closed door easily enough; the conversation seems uncomfortable, not that Erich can blame them. He’s …

Shiro swallows back his shout of victory as Getsuga launches herself into the air. Not only did Getsuga allow Ishida Uryuu close, but she allowed him on her back! And even better, Ishida is currently clinging tight to his waist and leaning against his back, peering at the ground below. His face is just over …

Invisible to sight, Erich circled high over the execution stand, keeping an eye on the events happening below. The Captains were beginning to gather and the sun was nearly at its zenith; he needed to be watchful for the approach of the girl to be executed. None of the Captains seemed to sense his presence, …

Tatsuki narrowed her eyes and watched Rerugen interact with her boys, searching for any hint of deception or ill will. She wanted to like him, wanted to trust him, but she’d yet to meet a Quincy outside their own pack that was worth the time of day. And this would be worse. At least the …

fanfiction doodles for dragon eclipse \o/ because finals suck and drawing is more fun Ven’s original message (reposted with permission) This is absolutely how I imagine poor Uryuu looking before he goes back in time, and, consequently, this is how Sasaki Uryuu (the name Uryuu takes in Dragon Wings) looks, with the ticked black-orange hair, blue …

At the first hint of Ishida stirring, Erich slowly unwrapped his wings to give the boy more space without yet revealing him to the thoughtful gaze of Ukitake. The Shinigami had remained with him for the rest of the night, both of them dozing off and on as they waited for the dawn to arrive. …

By the time Jyuushiro returned with lengths of rope for Rerugen, the elder Quincy appeared to be asleep sitting upright, one eye closed and the other half-closed, snout tilted slightly down, body relaxed and breathing even. He even had his wings curled tight around his body, likely shielding the younger Quincy from view. Jyuushiro didn’t …

Uryuu woke to the sound of quiet voices, his head resting on something soft and a blanket draped across his body. His body ached and it took far too much effort to roll onto his side to squint towards the voices. A golden barrier surrounded them entirely and Uryuu could see a Shinigami just outside …

Erich hovered just beyond the wards he’d found, head canted to the side and eyes narrowed; whoever lived here on the edge of Seireitei had quite an impressive schema. If he could manage to slip through those defenses, he would have a relatively safe place to hide and heal the young Quincy. He closed his …

Erich froze mid-stride, shoulders tensing as the reishi all around rippled. He turned in place, trying to pinpoint the source, and prayed that it wasn’t what he thought it was. (He’d sensed ripples like that before, caused by young Quincy driven to desperation.) (He’d hoped that infiltrating Seireitei in the wake of the other ryoka …

Ichigo chewed on his lip and tried to gather his nerve to allow the change to take him all over again. He didn’t want to try, didn’t want to suffer through the disorientation all over again, but… but maybe this time it wouldn’t be like that. Rerugen’s change hadn’t seemed to affect him terribly, and …
