wonderful! this story is so well written i couldn't stop reading. excellent writing skills and it was flawless. i enjoyed every line and every word and i like how you made Byakuya not such a cold calculating person but more of a person with some feelings and emotions. i hope that wasn't too hard for you. love the story and yes I'm checking out the rest of your work. much love to you and hope to see more of your work in the near future.

This is amazing i don't know wy there is so little review, but certainly it deserves much much more.
However,as a Kisuke fan i'm a bit uncomfortable in seeing him in this light.
Anyway, i'm off to read your other fics.

Guest chapter 9 . 2/22/2014
This was a nice story, just wished that it had a little more action with maybe Ichigo been done by both Renji and Byakuya at the same time. Hope there is more to the story.
Guest chapter 1 . 2/21/2014
I love threesomes, there are not many out there. And I also loved the part where Byakuya punished Ichigo by putting him across his lap and spanking him. That should show who is boss. Keep writing wonderful stories.

Well, I usually only list Byakuya fan-fictions here, but I saw this story first on AO3 and then found it here very accidentally. It was very well-written and I'm surprised why this story hasn't so many reviews.
QianYun chapter 9 . 6/12/2013
It pains me to see such a great story with such few reviews, although that seems to be a disappointing trend these days, so even though I'm rusty in this department, I felt I had to leave some note of appreciation.

I'm normally a straight up Bya/Ren fan, so I was taking a stab in the dark, reading this story. And I have to say I am ever so glad. I'm always fascinated with stories that tweak normal reality; the ever so smallest changes in the past and present can have such devastating ripple effects. Your style of storytelling was the perfect balance to introduce this different world without spending too much time explaining, instead you did it through showing. It helped that Ichigo was ignorant in all matters of Seireitei in general, so the readers could get the explanation without the boring fact presentation.

The changes in the characters were delightful, just a twist of evil to everyone's personality. The shift in squad relationships was fascinating. It's a darker world overall, but still infused with the honor, manners, and complicated noble rules that seem to have a tight hold in canon Seireitei.

The relationship between Byakuya and Renji was so full of fierce loyalty, unspoken love, and unending passion, it just gave me so much feels (sorry about not having a better word to describe my feelings, haha). The changes that Ichigo brought to the relationship, as Byakyuya himself pointed out, were wonderful to read and experience with the characters. I found myself led willingly into the ending relationship between the three because the relationship between Bya and Ren only got stronger. When I read stories that make me want to support anything other than my OTP, it's a sure sign that the writing was superb. And yours truly was.

I read everything in one go, as you posted it all at once, and I was on the edge of my seat all the time. Your smattering of humor throughout the chapters was a great touch and definitely made it easier to handle all the intense situations that popped up. Even more, your use of humor was never overly powerful, which would've surely changed the story's impact. I have more I want to say, but can't quite put in words. Ultimately, I just want to say thank you for writing and sharing this piece. I had a great time reading it and I was reminded why good fanfiction has completely spoiled me- some of the published works I've read can't compare to pieces like these.

Thanks again, now I'm off to stalk you.

P.S. My favorite moment has to be when Bya and Ren was demonstrating what it meant to offer one's zanpakuto to someone else. Just marvelous. (The steamy scenes in chapter 8 are a close second xD)
Mizuki Inuzuka chapter 9 . 2/11/2013
Oh fuck! I hope there's a sequel to this cuz I sure am hooked!
Eva Galana chapter 9 . 2/10/2013
Wow. I read this in one sitting (and have found you and Junko on AO3). I certainly hope that there's a sequel - this just screams sequel. Powerfully and beautifully written.

Wow...sorry, but after reading this, that's what comes to mind.

What I really like about this divergence is that you so aptly and pointedly display the absolute 'wrongness' of Soul Society (and we all felt that not all is right in the canon).
AnomalyLady chapter 9 . 2/9/2013
Very well written, loved it. You portrayed the characters really well, especially in a darkbleach verse setting. Would love to see more, maybe a sequel? Either way, this was great.
