The Storms Are Over Part 5

Kisuke idly pokes at his food as he turns the past few minutes over in his head; for all he’d hoped that tossing the Hougyoku at the man — at Nier — would remove it from the world, the reality that it had actually worked is… is a bit more than he’d dared expect. (It’s …

beneath the cherry trees Part 10

“I have not the slightest clue how we shifted,” Ilsa answers Gregor honestly, giving the poor man a wry smile when he just sighs at her answer; she really wishes she had an answer, but right now she has nothing but guesses, and none of them very good guesses either. It’s obvious that the white …

the beginning of our hope Part 6

Kisuke comes awake all at once, body carefully still and breathing even as he tries to figure out where the hell he is— (Kaito is nearby, reiatsu steady-even-stable, which means that Hanataro is nearby, which means he’s somewhere safe but—) It comes back to him in a rush: investigating a strange artifact, triggering it on …

Ichigo/Bucky Barnes: Forgotten First Meeting + Locked in a Room Part 3

Ichigo eyes the hotel lobby as he crosses it, trying to figure out where to hole up that James will be comfortable in; the other man doesn’t like crowds or crowded areas, and it’s pretty obvious that places like this are also pushing the man’s comfort— (Not that Ichigo blames the guy.) (This place is …

Tatsuki/Uryuu: Time Travel + Secret Agent

Tatsuki/Uryuu Time Travel/Secret Agent alpharaposa “Well, how do I look?” Uryuu adjusted his tie one last time and glanced over, expecting to see Arisawa— Tatsuki, he needed to call her Tatsuki if they were to be believed as partners— in some sort of dress like he’d always seen women wearing in period shows and— Froze. …

Erich/Kisuke/Alexis: Accidental Hug + Soulmates

34&29 for Erich/Kisuke/Alexis is possible? I love these three dorks. skyshinigamialchemist (34: Accidental Hug, 29: Soulmates – Erich/Kisuke/Alexis) Erich breathed a sigh of relief as Yhwach’s body began to fade and the heavy press of the man’s twisted reiatsu slowly lifted. They’d done it. They’d won! “And stay gone!” Alexis shouted as she let her …

The Storms Are Over Part 4

“Catch!” the blond shouts, and Nier reacts on instinct, hand darting up to snatch the thing from the air— And almost drops it, as coruscating blue-violet light bursts forth, swirling around his hand and then expanding, sweeping up-up-up and then down-and-in, sinking beneath his skin in a blazing rush that blinds his eyes and wipes …

beneath the cherry trees Part 9

Gregor can’t help his reflexive glance up at the tree-shrouded sky, even though he knows that there’s no way he’ll be able to see if the moon has suddenly risen despite it only just setting before dawn. It’s too soon for another moonrise, he knows that, and yet… And yet Briar, Ilsa, and Kai are …

the beginning of our hope Part 5

Kaito breathes a quiet sigh of relief the moment he and Hanataro escape Ukitake and Kyoraku’s presence; it’s unbearably strange to sit across from the two Captains and not be recognized, but… but he should be used to it. Should have anticipated how it would make his skin itch and hands shake, how jittery he’d …

when two brilliantly shine as one Part 3

Alexis frowns as she watches Ilsa head back towards Erich’s home, mind swirling with the revelations of the night; for a Shinigami to show up, wounded and asking for aid, is one thing, but for that Shinigami to be Erich’s soulmate? It smells like a trap. Maybe not of that Shinigami’s devising, but the idea …

when two brilliantly shine as one Part 2

Kai curses sharply as his fool of a Clan head passes out in Ilsa’s arms, going just as limp and unresponsive as the damn Shinigami laid out on Erich’s damn dining room table. He rinses his hands off in a fresh bowl of water and stalks over, already probing at Erich’s powers with his own; …

when two brilliantly shine as one Part 1

The knock on his door comes far too late in the evening for Erich’s tastes: it’s well past midnight and all decent people should be asleep by now. Or if not asleep, then at least not knocking on his door at ass-o’clock at night. The fact that he’s still up is immaterial: everyone knows his …

the beginning of our hope Part 4

Shunsui tries to keep his expression neutral as he strides after Jyuushiro, but it’s hard. It’s hard, because Jyuushiro’s guests have upgraded Jyuushiro’s wards without asking or even hinting at the possibility, and all Jyuushiro will say about it is that everything will become clear in time. As if that isn’t one of the most …

Lost Eclipse Part 21

Uryuu scowled out the window at the figures slowly making their way towards the bridge leading off the castle grounds, wondering what the hell Euden and the others thought they were doing; if they couldn’t even last a single day while waiting for Urahara to return with news, then— then everything Urahara was trying to …

The Storms Are Over Part 3

Kisuke tosses himself down at the kitchen table and presses his forehead against the cool wood to try and center himself; he hadn’t expected to find the stranger awake when he went to check on the man, and he certainly hadn’t expected to find the man in tears! He’s going to have to figure out …
