Instead of Byakuya and Renji, some noname shinigami are the ones sent to the human world to retrieve Rukia. Ichigo is able to defeat them, and he and Rukia go on the run. AU from around chapter 51 of the manga.

100 word drabble, telling of the recovery by Barbossa's men of one of the 882 pieces of Aztec gold, for circetigana's Appeasing the Heathen Gods drabble project.

Hinata is a ninja in the night. And in the day. 100 word drabble.

Ichigo escapes the Visoreds in his fullblown Hollow form and Rukia fights him. Winner of the Spring 2006 IchiRuki contest on livejournal.

Post213 fic, Orihime viewpoint [pt 1]. She's a strong girl. Strong enough to know inevitability when she sees it. Follows Ichigo & Rukia in pt 2. This was written right after the chapter came out so it's been jossed by now, but we got some things right.

Someone said Rukia reminded them of Sailor Moon in chapter 195 [if you've seen the chapter, you know why] and that made me giggle. It also made me think about the practical side of dramatic entrances, and that... made me write this bit of silliness.

Human culture is stupid and makes no sense, but Rukia still has to learn to live with it, at least for a few months. It gets awkward. Urahara smirks a lot, Ichigo is embarrassed a lot, and Rukia is confused. Good thing there's Orihime to explain things.

Sakura thinks about her boys, and what’s to come. Vaguely spoilery through the end of Part 1 of the manga.

I couldn't bear to read one more mistletoe fic. So naturally, I wrote one. It's only two months out of season... Ichigo, Rukia, and a stupid human tradition. No spoilers.
