the beginning of our hope Part 3
“—left them to rest in the Ugendo,” Jyuushiro ends his report with, keeping his gaze on the Soutaicho as he does; he knows better than most how his old teacher feels about powerful, unaligned strangers, and he’d rather keep things as neutral as possible at the moment. (Like downplaying Urahara Kaito’s strength.) (After all, he …

The pulse itself remains, even if it’s destroyed Part 5
Erich has no idea how long it takes for his tears to finally run out, he just knows that it feels like an eternity. An eternity of clinging to Urahara’s jinbei — clinging to Urahara’s spiritual power — and sobbing like a goddamned child after some… some nightmare or something. (He’s never going to be …

The pulse itself remains, even if it’s destroyed Part 4
((Warning for a couple of paragraphs where Erich is throwing up. It’s not a very graphic description, and not from his POV at all, but it’s there. If you want to skip it, it’s the three paragraphs immediately after where Erich chokes and covers his mouth.)) “Thank you, Ishida-kun,” Kisuke says as Ishida unlocks the …

The pulse itself remains, even if it’s destroyed Part 3
Kisuke resists the urge to press his cheek against Rerugen’s head, knowing that he has no right to such a blatant show of affection when the man can barely stand his presence; it’s a testament of exactly how exhausted Rerugen is that Kisuke’s reiatsu trick actually worked on him instead of the man just shrugging …

Lost Eclipse Part 20
“Well, at least Ishida ate dinner last night,” Cleo announced as she entered the dining room, holding last night’s empty tray in her hands. Euden looked up from the papers spread out around him, his gaze hopeful. “Did you see him?” Cleo shook her head and set the empty tray down on the table. “I …

The pulse itself remains, even if it’s destroyed Part 2
The sunlight is almost blinding when they leave the palace and return to Soul Society, and Erich shields his eyes against the glare, feeling even more exhausted than before as he catches sight of their welcoming party. Urahara he expected, given the man’s investment in Kurosaki’s wellbeing, and Kyoraku and Ukitake are… not really a …

The pulse itself remains, even if it’s destroyed Part 1
“It’s a shame we never found you sooner. An Echt of your strength… you’d have been a credit to the Wandenreich,” Yhwach declares as he stalks closer, gaze fixed on Erich. “I wonder what sort of Schrift you would have manifested.” Erich grits his teeth and ignores Yhwach’s words, straining against the foreign presence threaded …

The Storms are Over Part 2
Waking up is a strange sensation. His eyes are gummy and his mouth is dry, his mind ringing with the strangest headache he’s ever had, and— (‘A noble sacrifice indeed, but I’m not inclined to let you simply vanish after all we’ve fought for.’) Nier groans and presses the heel of one hand to his …

beneath the cherry trees Part 7
Ren watches with amusement as Silver staggers back to the table and flops onto her side with a heavy sigh, clearly exhausted by all the play that Snowball had insisted on; Shadow and Silver lasted longer than Ren expected — more proof that the two aren’t normal wolves — but it’s obvious that neither of …

The Storms are Over Part 1
Kisuke blinks down at the unknown man at his feet, then slowly lifts his gaze to the empty air in the middle of his lab: the white rip the man fell out of is gone, with only a handful of fading green sparks left to show that anything was there at all. He didn’t sense …

Symbiotic!Quincy AU Part 2
Kisuke’s resolve lasts all of five seconds, before he feels the edges of his migraine beginning to return. He reaches up to rub at his temple, already dreading the rest of the day, before shivering as Erich follows his actions and reaches out to soothe the pain away a second time. (Helpful, but… still creepy, …

beneath the cherry trees Part 6
Mami lets herself relax as the two strange wolves finally begin to settle, both of them clearly charmed by Mrs. Plum’s kindness and cherry cakes, just like she’d hoped. For all she trusts Amaterasu with her life and the lives of all the villagers, it’s clear that the two black-and-cream wolves are… uneasy. On edge. …

the beginning of our hope Part 2
Kisuke is very, very carefully not panicking. Not at all. Not in the slightest. Not even as Ukitake leads them across a very different — very sparse looking — Seireitei and towards a vaguely familiar area that is completely unfamiliar in regard to the landscaping. (Okay, he’s maybe panicking a bit.) (Just a teeny tiny …

Lost Eclipse Part 19
Uryuu slowly roused himself from jinzen, taking care to stretch his legs out and rub some feeling back into them before he tried to do anything else. He felt better after spending time with Ichigo and the others, felt more like himself again, though he still wasn’t certain what to do about Midgardsormr’s assertion that …

Symbiotic!Quincy AU Part 1
For wing prompt- symbiotic wings! Perhaps something from Benihime, or maybe something more like the Venom symbiote. alpharaposa Kisuke claws his way back to consciousness, fighting through the nausea and pain to force his eyes open. He can’t— he can’t stay unconscious. He needs to help, needs to fight, this is his first real test …
