Bleach FanFic Rec (Favorites)
Note:
These are some of the ones I like. I will add along the way…
*** –> Absolute favorites worth a re-read even.
Byakuya Kuchiki x Rukia Kuchiki
A story of Byakuya’s changing feelings for Rukia, and the conflicts which arise. Quote: “He was surprised that when he saw her, he did not feel brotherly affection. Nor did he feel happy to be fulfilling Hisana’s last wish. He looked on this child and was reminded of what he had lost.”
An unfortunate incident, an embarrassing misunderstanding and now Rukia has to deal with a brother that refuses to believe she is not his wife. Post-Hueco Mundo arc.
When Byakuya is forced to face an important decision, he makes a safe choice to keep his life unaffected. What he didn’t know was how it was going to change his life, and heart completely.
Alone, or so she thinks, in the Kuchiki mansion, a sleepless Rukia investigates a strange sound and discovers her haughty brother as she has never seen him before. Can she handle the captain’s dark, hungry side?
Rukia’s thoughts on why Byakuya has suddenly turned towards her.
Shunsui Kyouraku x Nanao Ise
I mean everything! It’s all beautiful written and all are completed as I recall. PERFECT characterization and feels.
Few personal faves include;
He is the most illogical choice.
Ichigo Kurosaki x Orihime Inoue
She just wanted to fall into oblivion, but he refuses to let her go.
Orihime steels her resolution while Ichigo just wishes the world would stop tripping him on his head. (Confessions of love and all that angst and fluff).
Orihime’s first crush was on Ichigo. (Title is self-explanatory)
Byakuya Kuchiki x Orihime Inoue
Orihime dies. Arrancar? No, appendicitis. Between the weekly pub crawls with the lieutenants, Women’s Association meetings, and- oh yeah, seeing patients- Orihime builds a new life in Soul Society. But on the horizon, something looms… and she will have to sacrifice herself, yet again, to save those she loves.
(This was a great read. Byakuya is more than just an icicle, and Orihime is more than just a bubblehead. LOVED IT)
Inoue Orihime is dead and living in Kuchiki Byakuya’s house. How likely is it for the nicest human on the planet, who also happens to be smokin’ hot, to fall for an emotionally constipated elitist snob?
Heat of the Night by AlmaGemela (INCOMPLETE) - Rated M
Heat prickled over her skin, but it had nothing to do with the air of her hot apartment…Byakuya has been attacked by an Arrancar, and Orihime goes too far in coming to his aid…
Orihime is brought into heal Byakuya from a seemingly incurable disease.
Byakuya Kuchiki x Yoruichi Shihoin
Byakuya hates the heat. Yoruichi doesn’t.
She’ll show him what its like to break rules.
Ulquiorra Cifer x Orihime Inoue
Three interconnected One Shots by GeoFount
(AU) A demon who lives on the outskirts of the village has an unusual guest one day: a blind human girl from the town. Being unaware of what and who he is, she stays with him for a time, saying that even though she lost her way and wandered to his home, the next time she came would not be a mistake; he is a lovely person, she says. He almost wants to laugh when she says this. Almost.
Ichigo Kurosaki x Rukia Kuchiki
Rukia’s life, 50 years onward. (Best IchiRuki I have EVER read.)
Gin Ichimaru x Rangiku Matsumoto
You know…I cry for this ship every freaking time.
The façade of Las Noches never changes. It reminds me too much of myself…I hate this place. I hate the petty power struggles that go on daily between the Espada. But mostly, I hate the fact that you’re not here. GinRan oneshots, Gin’s POV.
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez
Check out all their work while you are there though. AMAZING SMUTTY GOODNESS ^_^
A Hollow craves Shinigami once it has a taste. An Espada, who evolve from the lesser hollow, retains some of these urges. A GrimmjowxRukia oneshot of his primitive desires for her, the Shinigami.
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez x Orihime Inoue
Dark AU. The more he pushed away, the more she seemed to pull him back closer. Prison life was built on solitude, after all. She was just a misplaced ray of light, and he was just an old nightmare. That’s what they kept telling themselves, anyway.
(One of the BEST fics I’ve ever read in any fandom. READ IT)
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez x Karin Kurosaki
The war was over. Aizen has won. Now the Victors have earned the right to Claim those that have survived. What started as bait for one’s brother and a deal to protect one’s sister unexpectedly became something more.
When Karin is tossed into a pit to be eaten by hollows as some sort of sick sport, she is surprised to discover the one chosen to eat her is familiar with her older brother. For Grimmjow, lunch becomes a rather unexpected ally.
OC/Reader-Inserts
Byakuya falls in battle and wakes up married. Could anyone other than Hisana capture the heart of a Kuchiki?
Miscellaneous
When it’s suggested that the captains and vice captains are lacking in sex drive, both sexes are eager to test the theory out and prove it wrong. But just who will test it out with who? (This was HILARIOUS and well-written!)
Characters: Shunsui Kyoraku, Juushiro Ukitake, Coyote Starrk
After the Winter War, the surviving espada are captured and put in kido stasis until a new Central 46 can determine their fate. As time drags on, they are all but forgotten and Shunsui finds himself feeling guilty for his part in Starrk’s plight and speaking with the primera’s imprisoned form…unknowing that Starrk can see and hear everything that is going on around him.
Characters: Shunsui Kyoraku, Juushiro Ukitake, Coyote Starrk
One shot. Even years later, Stark doesn’t know why he did it. Why he would risk so much for a Shinigami. Much less the friend of someone rather determined to kill him.
