This is dedicated to cywscross for writing one of my favorite rare pairings and writing it well. Apparently I’m getting pickier about story plots and characterization which rapidly decreases the already limited fics available for these two. But even when they’re not written as romance or when cywscross isn’t writing Bleach at all, she writes wonderful stories which make me happy.

This was originally going to be gifs instead of images until I realized how many hours it would take to go through the episodes for the precisely perfect moments I wanted (googling images took enough time, thank you).

Also, I personally describe this as gen OR slash, because to me, the importance in a person’s feelings isn’t dependent on whether there’s a sexual component to it. The most important person in your life, the one who means the most to you or has changed you the most doesn’t have to be someone you want to be physically involved with.

“There is nothing, but fear reflected in your sword. When you dodge, you’re afraid of getting killed. When you attack, you’re afraid of killing someone. Even when you try to protect someone, you’re afraid of letting them die. Yes, your sword speaks to me only of absurd fear. What’s necessary in a fight isn’t fear. Nothing can be born of that. When you dodge, “I won’t let them cut me.” If you protect someone, “I won’t let them die.” If you attack, “I will kill them.” Well, can’t you see the resolve to kill you in my sword?“
