StrangerInAStrangeWorldhide bio
Author has written 20 stories for Avatar: Last Airbender, Zoom, Death Note, Young Justice, Bleach, and Attack on Titan/進撃の巨人. Welcome to my profile! Have a look around and hit me up on my blog! Oh, and I really, really need a beta reader. Again. I also have an account on AO3. I'm a hard-rocking, video-gaming, anime-watching semi-metalhead weirdo who aspires to be an English teacher in Japan. I'm also a Christian who will cuddle kittens and babble about Doritos as soon as hit you for doing something stupid. So yeah, about the whole ignorant, straight-laced, 'Murican Christian stereotype... I'm crazy about the Visoreds. You should probably know that, if you can't tell from my list of fics. Kensei's my favorite, so of course I absolutely whale on him, followed by Rose, Shinji, Love, Hachi, Mashiro, Lisa, and Hiyori in that order. Fanfictions of Note: Human–Inhuman: Yokai!AU of Bleach, largely follows canon because I'm uncreative Ongoing Ideas would be appreciated, as people have suggested deviation from canon but I don't really have ideas for how to do that Ships: IchiTatsu in the future.Masks Hiding Masks: Slight change from Bleach canon in which the Visored were not reported by Aizen. Their lives pretty much go downhill from there. Completed, with a sequel up OCs are present as the sixth seat of the Ninth Division and the fourth seat of the Tenth Division. Ships: Implied Urahara/Yoruichi, Lisa/KyourakuWelcome Back, Freaks: Three of the Visored have returned to Soul Society as captains, but their trials aren't over as they readjust to being normal. Ongoing Ideas appreciated because I can't think of everyday Shinigami things Ships: Maybe hinting at Hinamori/Shinji.A Fool's Dance: A century after the Visoreds' transformations, the off-and-on battles between the forces of Hueco Mundo and of Seireitei are about to explode into a full-on war. Hirako Shinji is sent to Karakura Town to recruit high-spec humans to do the Shinigami's duties for them when they can't afford to spare troops. But as with everything concerning the unofficial leader of the Visoreds, ulterior motives and secret machinations lurk everywhere. And where's Ichigo? Ongoing Some OOC, but it's justified by the story's predecessor OCs present, most for flavor Ships: Kensei/OC, Lisa/Kyouraku, implied Urahara/Yoruichi | |||||||
