Lost Eclipse Part 6
(Warning for mention of theoretical self-harm. It’s just a misunderstanding, but the DL crew do make the assumption for about a paragraph or two.) Kaito stared out the window and let his mind drift as Uryuu rested against his chest, the teen finally worn out from crying but still too tired to pull away. He …

Lost Eclipse Part 5
Uryuu woke to pain and an unfamiliar room, bundled in blankets he didn’t remember finding and wearing a kimono with traces of someone else’s power lingering in the fabric. (*Shiro? Ichigo? Zangetsu?*) he asked as he carefully sat up, hissing as the movement pulled on still-healing wounds. He patted at the bed nearby, fumbling for …

Euden held the Sacred Shard close as they traveled the short distance back to the wooden bridge, uncertain what to do with it. He’d come so far at his father’s urging, made a pact with the Windwyrm and discovered a long-lost shard, and now… Now someone with his father’s face had tried to take it …

Dragon-Quincy AU Part 16
Erich watched the supposed healer as she left, tracking her motion until she finally returned inside and he could relax once more. (Healer she might be now, but…) (He recognized another predator when he saw one.) The good news was that she was on his side, at least for now. The bad news was that …

Lost Eclipse Part 3
Kaito leaned against the windowsill and stared out at the misty landscape, trying to find anything at all familiar about the land they’d arrived in and failing. He couldn’t see all that much, just the tops of trees and tattered, broken roofs nearly engulfed by greenery, but what there was reminded him of no place …

Retsu found Rerugen right where Ukitake had said he’d be, leaning against the deck railing and staring down into the water. She doubted he was actually watching them based on his how still his head was, but he was probably using the motion as a form of meditation. His folded wings and lax tail gave …

Lost Eclipse Part 2
Kaito dragged Ishida up the first flight of steps he found, relieved to escape the roiling mist that covered the entire first floor of the castle. He didn’t want to know what the lower levels looked like if the mist reached everywhere in the castle. Every step above the mist felt like a step closer …

Retsu strode up the long path to the Ugendo, forcing back her concern in order to keep a clear mind. She didn’t know what she would find upon entering Ukitake’s home, but the fact that he hadn’t immediately reported to the Fourth and Kyoraku hadn’t dragged him to the Fourth was either a budding problem …

Lost Eclipse Part 1
Kaito stepped from the portal and looked around, tucking away the reality-hopping device in his satchel and taking a moment to just marvel at where he’d ended up. He stood before a dais where a giant stone dragon perched, wings flared and neck proudly arched, a ‘simple’ throne carved into the plinth at its base. …

“I’m going to head back in,” Ukitake said after a long stretch of silence. He pushed away from the railing and gathered Erich’s plate and chopsticks up, flashing a soft smile at Erich as he did. “Stay out here as long as you like, I don’t mind. I’ll make sure there’s food in the kitchen …

Dragon-Quincy AU Part 12
Jyuushiro smiled at the friendship that Kurosaki Ichigo and Kuchiki Rukia shared; their friendly bickering and the silent gestures that indicated how well they knew each other was adorable. He didn’t miss how Kurosaki took care to subtly rearrange the dishes so Kuchiki could reach something easier, or the way he did the same with …

Ichigo ascended the steps to the old fashioned home and knocked on the door, hoping that he’d followed Unohana-sensei’s directions correctly and that she was right about where Rerugen had taken everyone. For such a large being, Rerugen had thoroughly vanished from sight; perhaps he was a shapeshifter like Yoruichi, because he certainly wasn’t lingering …

“Well… been a long while since I’ve been kidnapped like a princess,” Shunsui said as they were gently released from the Dragon’s — from Rerugen’s — grip. Rerugen arched his neck and snorted, lips curling in a way that Shunsui was going to take as amused for the sake of his heart. “You’re pretty, but …

::The traitor Aizen Sōsuke has fled to Sokyoku Hill. Be warned that his true shikai is illusion-based and undetectable when active.:: “No…” Jyuushiro disengaged from his struggle against Yamamoto and leapt backwards, glancing over his shoulder at Sokyoku Hill. Kotetsu’s words echoed through his mind and worry filled his heart; they’d left Rerugen there atop …

Dragon-Quincy AU Part 8
The minute Erich landed and set the young Shinigami down, he felt Ishida begin to move about behind his head. “Do you want down?” Erich asked, knowing exactly how uncomfortable dragon-back could be when a person wasn’t accustomed to it. “U-uhm. If it won’t trouble you..?” Erich hummed and crouched down, bringing his head closer …
