   Summary

   Dazai wasn’t born afraid of dogs. In a world where a fourth of the population was animal shifters, it was common to see dogs.

   It was at the age of thirteen when his fear began.

   OR

   Dazai is a cat shifter who has had too many bad experiences.

   • Fullbringer Arc (Bleach)
   • Ichigo can and will murder for his family
   • My hot take is Yashiro would not have stayed content with just
   • Satoru‘s survival if he hadn’t been arrested
   • Yashiro would have tried to make Satoru a killer
   • so Satoru could understand him better

   • he’s more observant
   • Past Kenya/Ichigo
   • Ichigo has spent most of his not being protected
   • that the idea of someone getting hurt protecting him
   • is not appealing one

   • Hey so do you remember how it’s established early on that
   • Ichigo blamed himself for his mom’s death
   • and then later found out a hollow killed her

   • Winter War (Bleach)
   • rip Yammy you got killed off again by me
   • he just doesn’t realize he’s traumatized
   • Ichigo would not pour a bucket of water on Orihime’s aunt
   • if she was on fire and he had a bucket in his hands
   • Dead Body
   • it’s Yammy’s corpse
   • look Urahara is a scientist he is not passing off the chance to dissect an Espada
   • Hollow Instincts (Bleach)
   • Ichigo doesn’t realize it’s them yet
   • it’s one sided for now
   • it won’t be one sided later
   • Yashiro is such an asshole but he’s so fun to write
   • only he doesn’t realize it
   • he doesn’t mean to be but he is
   • I’m not saying Ishida might be trying to plan a murder with Urahara
   • But uhm he definitely wants to
   • This was not how anyone expected this conversation to go
   • and Isshin kills the hollow and never mentions it
   • yeah there’s gonna be consequences in the near future because of that
   • author is feral about Ichigo and Rukia
   • not in a ship way but in their friendship can be pulled out of my cold dead hands
   • Dark Kurosaki Ichigo
   • not like he’s evil or anything
   • but rather the only adult in his life that stayed was a serial killer
   • and it’s definitely screwed over his view on things
   • What’s the first arc of Bleach anime called?
   • whatever it’s called that’s when this takes place
   • Quincy Kurosaki Ichigo
   • not that he knows it
   • Aka Ichigo has blut but doesn’t know it

   • his quality time with Ichigo has to do with violence
   • or drugging him
   • Ichigo has trust issues

   • Protective Hirako Shinji
   • Hurt Ishida Uryuu
   • Kurosaki Ichigo is a Little Shit
   • Ishida Uryuu is a Little Shit
   • Hospitals
   • despite how much they bicker
   • they have a strong friendship because they both ride or die
   • And also have daddy issues
   • And in this verse both also don’t like Soul Society
   • Ichigo is just better at hiding it
   • Ichigo is not a shinigami because he believes in SS
   • he’s a shinigami to protect his loved ones
   • Hurt Kurosaki Karin
   • Kurosaki Karin has powers
   • Because Ichigo spent years with Yashiro in his life
   • he’s more aware of the dangerous position he and his friends are in
   • had Aizen and the other two captains not betrayed
   • Soul Society then Ichigo and his friends would still be in danger
   • also if you haven’t read the other parts of this series
   • please know Ichigo’s hair is dyed black
   • so this conversation occurs with him looking like a young Kaien
   • someone get this teenager away from Yashiro
   • Protective Kuchiki Rukia
   • Protective Kuchiki Byakuya
   • Rukia would absolutely murder Yashiro if it wouldn’t ruin her relationship with Ichigo
   • Byakuya would be willing to murder Yashiro even if it ruined his relationship with Ichigo
   • however this man likes to go through a list of options before jumping to that option
   • Byakuya honestly doesn’t care that Yashiro murdered children
   • he cares about who Yashiro’s victims are
   • it’s funny how I hated that man when I first started the anime
   • but I genuinely love Byakuya now
   • it really is funny because I nicknamed his character Bad Penny on discord
   • when I was watching the anime
   • there is no underage sex in this fic
   • but there’s discussion of Ichigo sleeping with Ginjo
   • there’s also talk of drowning someone
   • Ichigo doesn’t need a hug
   • he needs a better childhood
   • The dichotomy of willing to kill to protect Ichigo
   • but post WW Shinji not staying with Ichigo despite promising to help him with college
   • Complicated Relationships
   • no beta we die like idk pick an anime character for me
   • Author loves Urahara but also supports Rukia right to be angry
   • about the gigai he tricked her into wearing that was making her lose her powers
   • sidenote Ichigo’s hair is still dyed
   • and Rukia is shoving the fact he looks like Kaien
   • in the back of her mind because there’s only so much she can handle
   • also part of why Rukia is pissed at Urahara
   • is because Urahara helped Ichigo invade SS to save her
   • she didn’t want Ichigo to save her
   • so yeah she’s angry at Urahara
   • Ishida isn’t in this fic but the friendship is important
   • ichigo going to help Ishida murder Mayuri
   • even though at this point Ishida doesn’t have his powers back
   • no beta we die like my plans to rest tomorrow
   • Kayo needs a hug
   • Mentions of Child Murder

   • aka he adopts people
   • no beta we die like idk actually how about
   • no beta we die like ben parker
   • References to Child Abuse
   • I support morally grey Urahara rights
   • aka this shop keeper would have killed Kon
   • and he had no moral problems about putting Rukia in that gigai
   • which would have stripped Rukia of her powers

   • or to be more accurate pre Rukia
   • someone needs to save Ichigo from Yashiro
   • unfortunately the adults in Ichigo’s life are bad at adulting or not yet in Ichigo’s life
   • I’m like so tempted to write a what if fic
   • where Rukia meets Ichigo earlier and kills Yashiro
   • because fun fact Rukia is the shinigami who sent Kayo to Soul Society
   • Orihime isn’t in this but it’s about her backstory
   • because Orihime canonically did not have good parents
   • no beta we die like my dog’s dreams of being given a chicken nugget

   • Mentor/Protégé
   • this is not wholly Urahara’s fault
   • Yashiro is a part of why it’s unhealthy
   • aka post SS invasion arc Ichigo is a “member” of the 13 division
   • Ichigo however is not fucking loyal to SS
   • Ichigo is loyal to family and friends and that’s it
   • he’s trying to survive and help them survive
   • because Yashiro was his teacher
   • Ichigo is more aware of the dangerous situation he’s in than in canon
   • no beta we die like my dreams to have a day off this week
   • Hey so remember how Mod Souls were murdered and Kon’s existence was illegal

   Summary

   A week full of unwanted courtships, stifling noble expectations, and soul-crushing paperwork drives Ichigo to the one place he shouldn’t go—Aizen’s.

   His former enemy turned something else entirely—calm, unreadable, dangerous—opens the door with cedar smoke and a smirk that threatens to unravel everything Ichigo has held tightly stitched.

   Scent is sacred between Omegas.

   Touch even more so.

   But Ichigo is tired. Too tired to keep pretending that this dance isn’t drawing blood from somewhere deeper.

   Maybe it was always meant to be devouring.

   Summary

   Patrick Jane doesn't know what's stranger - the way they've been touching him since his sight was compromised or the fact that he thinks he's going to miss it when it stops.

   (jane loses his sight, the team gets protective, and jane has a little trouble processing this)
