swept up amid this changing world Part 4
He sleeps poorly that night. It’s strange to think that he’s already grown accustomed to his soulmate’s nightly visits, but somehow he has. Two nights of healing rest, a third interrupted visit, and now a part of him is missing the rest and reassurance even though it’s only been a single night. Degurechaff politely says …

swept up amid this changing world Part 3
The morning comes too soon. Erich gives up on sleeping when he hears the watch change, crawling out of his bedroll and swiftly changing clothes before Degurechaff can stir. He slips outside and nods a greeting to Serebryakov, then leaves her behind in favor of finding breakfast. (It’s still strange, to eat and not have …

swept up amid this changing world Part 2
Erich wakes to a hand in his hair and ripples of warmth coursing through his body. He wakes to lethargy and contentment and safety, to the urge to close his eyes and rest, to trust, and it’s all he can do to fight past the unnatural desire and lift a hand to grab— A hand …

swept up amid this changing world Part 1
(For the trope mashup ask meme, prompted by anonymous: Kisuke/Erich/Alexis — 24: Soulmate AU, 67: Character in Peril) Erich is born with a thin band of indistinct leaves around his right wrist, a sign that his soulmate is older than him, though no one knows by how much. It causes a stir – he’s the …

65 and 66 ichigo/uryuu? :3c anonymous “I really don’t think this is going to work out,” Uryuu said with as much dignity as he could muster while crouching behind a steel crate and trying to fumble an arrow in place with numb fingers.

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 18
“And here’s Karakura!” Kisuke came to a stop next to Mami and stared across the bridge at Karakura, relief coiling through him at the sight of it; he’d never quite known how much the town had come to mean to him over the decades until he’d not been able to return immediately. For somewhere that …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 17
Kisuke drifted awake, mind fuzzy but body more rested than he expected it to be, given that the sun was already beginning to rise by the time he crawled into bed; the previous night had been more of a delight than he’d expected it to be, the simple ‘walk around the lake’ that Erich had …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 16
It was… early… by the time Erich finally crawled into bed next to Alexis, the sky starting to lighten and songbirds already beginning to sing in the trees. He was exhausted but his mind was spinning, picking at Urahara’s observations and turning-turning-turning until he couldn’t tell where one thought began and another ended. Urahara was …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 15
Kisuke tugged absently at the too-short sleeves of his borrowed top as he waited for Erich to come outside, trying to suppress the desperate, restless edge that was creeping into his thoughts; he needed… he needed to do something — fight or create or… or something, anything that would give his mind an outlet — …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 14
Kisuke pivoted on his toes, keeping Alexis in view as she prowled a circle around him. She’d surprised him during their first bout, taking advantage of his hubris to send him tumbling but… not this time. This time, injured or not, he would win. He’d already begun to make plans, to memorize her style, and— …

“Certainly not passive, is he?” Erich snorted and glanced up from his book to fix Alexis with a dry look. “You wouldn’t like him if was,” he reminded her, then leaned over to peer around his mate to catch a glimpse of Urahara outside. The man was running through a series of slow, careful stretches, …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 12
The next day dawned bright and cheerful, the sun rising over the lake and the swans beginning to rouse from their slumber. Kisuke leaned his chin on his hand and stared out across the lake, mind still turning over the things that Ren had told him the night before. He hadn’t gotten much sleep — …

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 …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 10
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 …
