White Side

Wow, it's really been a long time since I've posted, hasn't it? Well, that's how life tends to be, and writers' block is an unforgiving taskmaster. But to allay that, the last few chapters of Bleach have given me plenty of angsty material to draw from. XD. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks Ichigo is in total denial over everything. Sure, peace is all well and good and normalcy is cool... but there's no way he doesn't miss it, and more importantly, no way he doesn't miss Rukia and all the others from SS. Not to mention I nearly cried over Ru's face when she's fading away from his vision, she looks so heartbroken. Anyway, those sorts of things give my rusted writing gears some fresh oil, so have some goodies~


There is a companion piece to this ficlet called Black Side, that is pretty much the same thing from Ichigo's point of view, and I may even do one from Isshin or someone else's POV to tie them both together, perhaps even something with a little bit from everyone else involved, bc there is no way that those who care about Ichigo -- and Rukia, for that matter -- woudln't notice things and/or be concerned how each of them is taking it. But for now, enjoy the fic.

Black Side

And here is Black Side, the Ichigo POV companion to White Side. If anyone's interested, I chose the titles because I always associate Ru with the colour white and Ichigo with black, and I have noticed that Kubo has a tendancy to do the same so I thought it a nice homage. I will likely do a compliation of everyone else's thoughts on the situation, entitled Grey Side, that is intended to bridge the two together.
