Ongoing Stories:

A Grudge Not Held: "Bleach." Alternate timeline, For Want of a Nail. There are many fanfics written speculating on What Could Have Been had Ichimaru Gin not died by Aizen Sosuke's blade, and even some detailing a scenario where he had actually succeeded in committing deicide. But far rarer are the stories in which an author takes a look at what might have happened if Ichimaru Gin had never joined Aizen in the first place. This is a tale of how Ichimaru Gin's allegiances remain with the Gotei 13, and the consequences it produces, both good and bad. Complete.

Now featured on TV Trope's page for Bleach recommended fanfics! It has also been featured as an example for For Want Of A Nail and Tranquil Fury.

4/18/2015 Update: I have finally put up a cover image for this story, and I have a friend of mine to thank for the artwork.

Odd Couples: "Bleach." A collection of one-shots focusing on characters we do not see interact very much, if at all, in the series proper. This is a focus on character interaction. Friendships, not-quite-friendships, battles that could have been, and other dramatic scenes, but there will be no romantic pairings. The four characters who appear the most will be listed on the summary. If you have suggestions as to what characters you want to see meet, I am welcome to them, but be warned: they will not be published for at least 2-3 weeks, due to my nitpicking writing habits. A new chapter will be published on Fridays, but not necessarily every Friday, depending on inspiration and real life concerns.

Here's the chapter list so far (Popular chapters or ones I personally like are in italics):

Chapter 1: Yamamoto and Orihime in "Reminder." Orihime offers to heal Yamamoto's arm.
