    Summary

    "There's nothing left here in this moment, Kisuke I have no more miracles left but you- and you are everything. My final hope and my last revelation. I have lost but I cannot let you fall with me." Ichigo murmurs softly, his fingers wipe the tears dripping past Kisuke's sunken cheeks.

    Something cold settles in his belly- a visceral fear he hasn't felt in forever.

    Because something about this, the way Ichigo traces his figure with desperate eyes, it reeks of a final goodbye. Something about this moment is tragic and horrific and Kisuke's instincts have never failed him before.

    "Ichigo what are you-"

    Ichigo moves before he can finish the sentence, pulling him into a searing kiss, it tastes overwhelmingly of salt. The aftertaste left behind from the tears hanging between them, unaddressed. It tastes of love, the weight of Ichigo's adoration leaving him breathless in its intensity. Kisuke clutches onto him, desolate.

    With a desperate sob, Ichigo pulls back, "You said I've never done anything that has required an apology from you, I'm sorry Kisuke, this might just be the point where you draw the line."

    Before he can reply, before he can even blink- Kisuke is unmade.

    Summary

    In 200 years, Soul Society hasn't changed much -- still a lot of prejudice, still a lot of ignoring problems they created, and still getting invaded and having Ichigo and his friends save them, with everyone (especially Ichigo) getting injured in the process.

    Kisuke has had enough.

    The next time Ichigo is seriously injured, he sends those closest to the event (Ichigo and himself) back in time -- not far enough to change everything, and not soon enough to cause too many problems.

    Still, the show must go on.

    Summary

    “I’ll tell you how fast Kamishininoyari can extend.”

     

    Gin sheathes his sword, face carved into a snake-like smile that shows no teeth, and then he claps.

     

    Two things happen at the same time. The sound of his palms meeting crack through the air and it echoes faintly over the wide and quiet expanse of the fake Karakura as he announces how his sword contracts faster than what they heard, and somewhere, in one of the millions of points that make the timeline years ahead of where their current present exists, Ichigo’s - another but not, much older, wearier, with the same blood and flesh - soul snaps into a place where it isn’t meant to. Where it doesn’t yet exist.

     

    “It’s the fastest Zanpakuto,” Gin is saying as he blinks the stars out of his eyes and adjusts to the feeling of being lesser, “even if you know that, you have no chance of winning.”

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help but overhear my name,” Kisuke said, smiling his polite smile; the one reserved for strangers. Ichigo wanted to scream, bare his teeth like a wild animal, let Zangetsu take over so he wouldn’t have to be in his own mind, at the sight of it turned onto him. “It’s always a pleasure to meet someone interested in my work. What’s your name?”

    Caught in a brief moment of lunacy, Ichigo considered the thought of taking him by the shoulders and howling, I am Kurosaki Ichigo, and I would burn every realm in this forsaken world to ashes if it meant you’d look at me and see me again. I have known you in nearly every way it is possible to know a man; I have ripped and mangled and torn apart what used to be my universe’s space time continuum to see you whole and well and mine and you dare to not recognize me? 

    He did not say this, of course; not even as an afterthought, though the urge to was very strong. That would've served as a terrible first impression. So instead, he said shortly, “Shiba Ichigo.”
