An engraved soul opposing fate Part 1
Jyuushiro hummed softly to himself as he navigated the quiet maze of shelves deep in the heart of the First Division; he’d gotten himself a bit lost after talking with the Soutaicho, but… it was fine. He didn’t particularly need to be anywhere any time soon, and Yamamoto wasn’t going to hunt him down either, …

cut time with a virtuous knife Part 5
He showered as quickly as he could manage, taking care of his — too long, too messy — hair and then scrubbing his body and especially his back. All in all, he was in and out in under half an hour, not exactly a record but still fairly decent given how obnoxious his hair was …

cut time with a virtuous knife Part 4
By the time Uryuu woke up again, it was late in the morning and he could hear Urahara moving around in the main room. It was tempting — it was very tempting — to just… lay in bed for a while longer. Maybe for the entire day. Urahara had, after all, called him in, even …

cut time with a virtuous knife Part 3
The pace picked up almost exponentially after that night of uncomfortable conversation; Urahara took a more active role in research, consuming and then explaining text after text that had stymied Uryuu for weeks-months-years as if they were beginner texts with straightforward information. (Not that the man was very good at explaining, but they worked it …

cut time with a virtuous knife Part 2
Uryuu threw himself into his studies with fervor after Ryuuken’s impromptu visit to his office, sensing that some looming deadline was approaching that he desperately needed to avoid. (If anyone knew what he was trying to do, they would stop him, he knew they would.) (So he couldn’t let anyone find out, couldn’t let anyone …

cut time with a virtuous knife Part 1
((Warnings for depression and Uryuu having a bad headspace for a lot of this This is a post-canon Uryuu, complete with being a depressed loner working as a doctor in the hospital Ryuuken works at.)) Uryuu stared tiredly at his schedule for the day, already wanting to just… call out and leave. His day was …

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 …

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. …

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 …

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 …

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 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 …

the beginning of our hope Part 1
((A slightly modified version of this prompt, so that it can be expanded easier.)) Jyuushiro struggles to hold back the Vasto Lorde’s blade, arms trembling and body straining with the effort. There’s a sharp-deadly-vicious ache building in his chest, and he knows, he knows, that he needs to finish this soon, he has to, but …
