White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 11
Kisuke ran a polishing cloth over Benihime’s blade again and again, using the repetitive motion to occupy his body while he tried to sort through everything he overheard a few hours ago. (Courting him?) (The day before, none of them could stand his presence and yet… Erich and Alexis were going to court him?) (That …

It was evening by the time Alexis strolled up the steps to Ren and Mami’s house, having spent most of the afternoon with her flock. She hadn’t wanted to arrive back too soon and give the game away, not when it truly was a several hour walk. They wanted to make Urahara think, not hand …

Alexis landed on the edge of town and twisted her neck around to grab the carry-strap slung across her body. It took a bit of wriggling to free herself of the burden and dump it on the ground, but it was a move she’d been practicing for decades so it wasn’t too difficult. At her …

“Ji-san!” The unexpected call startled Kisuke, pulling his attention away from the chess set and towards— A small child? Erich chuckled and turned, one arm outstretched in welcome, and caught the young, grey haired boy as he lunged at him. “And how are you today, Uryuu-kun?” Erich asked as he settled the boy in his …

Erich tapped his cigarette on the bowl next to him to knock the ash from the tip, then brought it back to his mouth and inhaled. It was a habit he’d never managed to completely shake after the Great War, especially when he needed to think. Like right now. He stared out at the lake, …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 6
Kisuke was still exhausted when he woke in the morning, his reiryoku only partially refilled and his side aching from the Hollow’s blow. He wished he could heal himself or, barring that, wished these strange singers could finish the healing for him, but he knew that wasn’t going to happen. He had no doubt that …

The minute Mami began to clear the plates, Alexis rose to her feet and tugged Erich up after her. “I think we’re going to turn in early,” she announced cheerfully, wrapping an arm around her husband’s waist and guiding him away from the table. “We’ll see everyone in the morning!” “Goodnight Alexis-san, Erich-san,” Urahara said …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 4
Alexis landed lightly behind the bathhouse and folded her wings away. A blink, a breath, and a cloak settled across her shoulders in place of her wings.

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 3
Kisuke woke with a start, chased by swirling memories of teeth-claws-bright wings-dark eyes-song. Everything blurred together, a nightmare of sight-sound-sensation that left him trembling-aching-burning— He closed his eyes. Grounded himself in himself until the memories — nightmares? — faded from prominence. His side ached but not as much as he remembered— (Rescued, check. But not …

“What sort of fool wanders this deep into the woods while wounded and then claims he just needs a nap of all things!” Erich growled as he hastily swept their first aid supplies into a satchel. ::Sounds like someone after your heart,:: Alexis said, stepping forward and stretching her neck and wings up to let …
