It wasn't that dead people didn't inherently have daemons, or that they didn't know or understand what they were. It's just that the afterlife was a long, long time, time enough to forget and get used to practically anything— time enough to forget what it was like to literally wear a piece of your soul outside your body. / Bleach x Daemons AU

Ichigo Kurosaki, college student, gets roped into a dorm game with a long tradition and finds it a little more than he bargained for. Kuchiki Rukia, college student, has never done anything by halves- and that includes stupid traditional dorm welcoming games. The r.a.s regret the day they placed her knife in his hands. [Ichiruki]

; –this is a worthwhile fight. Fate pulls them apart, and fate brings them back together. If there is one thing Ichigo and Rukia know about their separations, it is that their reunions are always worth the wait. [Ichiruki]

Maybe fate was called fate because some things weren't choices; some things were simply written into his DNA, woven into the very fabric of the universe. World orders. The sky is blue. The sun is hot. He is in love with Kuchiki Rukia. Kuchiki Rukia is dying. /Ten years after the defeat of Yhwach, it's time Ichigo and Rukia started facing some truths.

It's the little things about her that throws him sometimes. Her inability to use juice boxes. Her complete disregard for his carefully constructed image. Her utter obliviousness to routine human world customs. (It's the little things that make him fall in love.) [Ichiruki]

Rukia's good at kido. Ichigo's good at learning.

How do you have to order your alleles, he wonders, to get that shade of heart-stopping blue— [Ichiruki] [686 compliant]

In a peculiar twist of fate, Rukia dies, but Ichigo endures. A century later, she's the reincarnated headstrong human teenager and he's the long-suffering shinigami who sort-of-accidentally may have transferred his powers to her. Some things are different. Some things are the same. And some things, it seems, will never ever change. [Ichiruki]

In a world where people are born with a coloured marking somewhere on their body, your soulmate is supposed to be the one who carries the exact same mark. Kurosaki Ichigo has never put much stock in these things — and the fact that his black sun mark and Rukia's white crescent moon is different has NOTHING to do with it. Soulmates AU- maybe. [Ichiruki] [Ishihime]

Innocence died screaming / honey ask me, I should know. / I slithered here from Eden / just to sit outside your door. [Ichiruki] [686 compliant]

There is no respite for them, not on this earth. [Ichiruki]

I did. I did. I do. [Ichiruki] [686 compliant]

The Kuchiki Clan, keepers of a forgetful history. Ichigo wants none of it. [Ichiruki] [686 compliant]

Across spacetime, across multiple universes, against all odds and scientific theorems, their bond is– [Ichiruki]

Their eyes meet; wide with all the things they no longer have time for and wet with gathering precipitation. Storm clouds on the horizon. [Ichiruki]

"I— I want you to fuck me like you don't know me—" "Rukia—" "I want you to use me, Ichigo." [Ichiruki] [warnings: nsfw]

The only time she has ever felt she could be a proper mother to Ichika was when Ichigo was around. Canon-compliant [Ichiruki].

In which everyone is just a little bit terrible. Canon-compliant [Ichiruki]. [warnings: adultery]

The hollow lies. Don't trust a word he says. Canon-compliant [Ichiruki].

Simple enough to ask, simple enough to answer, but it's not like Ichigo's ever done anything the simple way. 686-compliant [Ichiruki].

Francoise-Dupont College Class 1A have a secret. In the daytime, they're normal students with normal lives — but during the night, they become the erstwhile defender of Paris, a superhero with miraculous powers: King/Queen Bee! …. All of them. In turn. They have a roster. How did this happen? Well, Marinette and Adrien would like to know that themselves… [Adrinette, Ladynoir]

Kashima attempts something rather special for Hori-senpai. It goes about as well as it could be expected. That is to say, not well at all.

Yato attempts a confession of love. [Yatori]

"Are you saying you think my chances of catching you should you fall is 50%! Not even 70%, Granger? Or 80%? Or the more accurate 99%? What are you taking my seeker reflexes for—" "I'd put more stock in your seeker reflexes if you'd ever won more than one match against Harry." Draco's teaching Hermione to fly. It's not going well. [Dramione]

Haruno Sakura has never been weak. Those closest to her have always known her strength. [Sasusaku], if you squint. Mostly Mamakura being fabulous.

Ten years after the Fourth Shinobi World War, Shikamaru invents a time machine. Sakura decides to get on it and tell her past self a few things she wished she'd known a bit earlier… [Sasusaku]

It's been a long, winding, bloodstained road - for all three of them. But this time, Sakura thinks that they all just might be able to come home. [Sasusaku]

Marinette smells like cinnamon and sugar; Marinette smells like warmth and love and a welcoming family; Marinette smells like everything Adrien Agreste has ever wanted. [Adrinette, Ladynoir]

After all, their stories have always begun in the rain. [Ladynoir, Adrinette]

This wasn't a systematic slaughter, a carnage designed to serve any sort of purpose. He could have wiped them all out in the first week. No, this was a game. And she was meant to be the other player. [Nalu]

Pt. 1: It's the end of the world as they know it, and Natsu and Happy decide strip poker is the best way to go. Pt. 2: And for the briefest second: Lucy, a little older, her beautiful blonde hair cut short, with a pink-haired, brown-eyed, mischievous looking child in her arms. Her child. Their child. [Nalu]

Even the toughest tough guy is just marshmallows and cookies after a judicious application of… laughing gas? [Nalu]

Juvia thinks that maybe the rain wasn't all bad, after all. [warnings: major character death] [Gruvia]

Losing your water spirit is tough when you're fighting in the pouring rain and your only companion is a stupid fire mage. [Nalu]

The guild is currently not a place suited for much protecting. But what the hell is Lucy going to do when the thing Natsu needs protecting from is himself? [Nalu]

Natsu Dragneel was going to kill the editors over at Weekly Shonen Magazine. [Nalu]

Nobody tells a demoness what she is or isn't feeling. Especially when the last of her chocolate stash has just been filched. [Miraxus]

They meet, and part, and meet, and part again, and if two things have stayed constant throughout all their incarnations it is this: 1. if they manage to meet, they fall in love, and 2. if they fall in love, they end in tragedy. History repeats itself. [Nalu]

Zeref is defeated, the world is peaceful, and Natsu and Lucy are… dog-sitting? [Nalu]

Lucy's cat keeps coming home without her ribbon on her neck. Natsu's cat keeps coming home with a ribbon on his neck. They're going to find out just what's going on. [Nalu]

Pirate Captain Lucy Heartfilia finds some interesting cargo in the back waters of Aracitacia Sea. And then her ship catches fire. Go figure. [Nalu]

Rukia skips out on a trip to the zoo. [warnings: adultery, nsfw] [Ichiruki]

The war ends in less than four days. The aftermath takes... much longer. Ten years longer. 686-compliant fix-it fic. [Ichiruki, Ishihime]

The dead spinning in their graves is a real thing and now used to generate electricity. Your job is to come up with the best ideas to piss off the deceased in order to maximize energy production. How does the Bleach fandom contribute to this? Well…

Maybe one of these days, their two worlds would become one. [Ichiruki]

The end of the once-popular, long-running manga Fabric Softener satisfies nobody, least of all Ichigo and Rukia, the lead actors in the manga's musical adaptation. They decide to take things into their own hands. (In which I am the saltiest person across the seven seas and Burimyu has healed my broken heart.) [Ichiruki]

Uryuu receives a rather peculiar phone call on a Saturday morning. [Ishihime, Ichiruki]

"If I'd been a better man than you, I would have protected them." [Ichiruki]

An eternity later, Rukia looks up to a world that is too silent, and a crimson stain on her zanpakutou that does not wash out. [Ichiruki]

Please stay with me, he thinks, it's the only thing I'll ever ask of you— [Ishihime, Ichiruki]

Her love, like a noose around his neck. [Ichiruki]

Not this. Not him. Not again. [Ichiruki]

"Alright, then," he says, and in some strange way, it's both a beginning and an ending. "I suppose it starts when she saves my life..." [Ichiruki]

Ishida Uryuu is sending flowers to his estranged father. Slight [Ishihime]. Mostly Ishida family being goddamn drama queens.

They are soldiers, conscripted to fight. The war wasn't going to win itself. [Ichiruki]

"You came back." "You know I'll always come back to you. By whatever means necessary." [Ichiruki]

All the myths have it wrong. There was never a God of Death or a kidnapped, helpless Goddess of Spring. There was simply a very lonely woman who thought that everything good she touched turned to ash beneath her fingers, and a very lonely man determined to show her that was not the case. There was simply Ichigo and Rukia. [Ichiruki Hades/Persephone AU]

"I have an exam in three days, and if you so much as TOUCH any of the other papers on this desk I will punch you in the dick." Well, that's one way to kill a mood. Kurosaki Ichigo wonders what he's done in a past life to deserve this. [Ichiruki]

There are tears in Inoue Orihime's eyes as she turns to face Uryuu in the small flat they share.

In which Kurosaki Ichigo and Kuchiki Rukia are the worst chef/patissiers to ever grace the 5-star restaurant scene, well, ever. Didn't anyone teach them about what was and was not appropriate behaviour in the kitchen? [Ichiruki]

"Is there a reason you're naked in my bed?" "There is an explanation." Ichigo closes his eyes. He's not sure he wants to hear this 'explanation'. [Ichiruki]

They're late for Inoue and Ishida's engagement party, and then Rukia comes down the stairs with a... peach-shaped clutch? [Ichiruki]

Award-winning director Urahara rope award-winning actors Ichigo and Rukia into doing a movie together. There's just one proviso: they gotta pretend they hate each other's guts... [Ichiruki]
