Summary
It’s over, he marvels, eyes closed in something like relief as he crumples to the floor. It’s finally over. The Quincy are gone, defeated, the world is at peace. And he is free. No longer in danger of being hunted down and exterminated by the Soul Society thanks to his part in fighting the Quincy off so why?
Dear Spirits, why?
Why is it that, when he opens his eyes again, it’s to find himself in sand, surrounded by the never-changing night skies of Hueco Mundo, naked before it all, and kneeling at feet of none other than Aizen Sosuke?

Summary
Ichigo failed. The first protector couldn't protect anyone in the end. The only option left is to travel back in time and kill Aizen and Yhwach before they have the chance to win. Fortunately, every change means he's less alone. Will he be able to see it in time? Will the members of the Gotei 13 be able to truly see him before it's too late?
Only time will tell.

Summary
“Our lease is up at the end of next month. I know it’s short notice, but Orihime and I—we’d like to move into our own place together.”
“Oh. Is that all?”
Honestly, he’s been expecting this for a while now. Orihime spends more time here than at her own place, more time here than Ichigo does.
Ichigo can afford to get his own place if he looks for something small. It’s not like he’ll be there much anyway, since he’s just going to keep going over to the Shoten with or without the excuse of avoiding overhearing his friends having sex—
Or, I could just ask to move in, Ichigo thinks. It’s not like it’d be much different from what I’m doing now.
He’s pretty sure Kisuke will let him. The only down side is that there’ll be no running away to hide for a week whenever he's reminded he loves Kisuke so much that it hurts, but Ichigo can deal with that.
---
OR:
Ishida and Orihime have a lot of sex. In an effort to avoid overhearing them, Ichigo starts spending more and more time at the Shoten until he eventually just moves in. It would be fine, if not for the fact that Ichigo has some inconvenient feelings of his own.prompt: Moving in together

Summary
Ichigo gave everything he had to defeat Aizen, leaving him utterly powerless. Unable to see or hear anything supernatural, he still struggles to settle into a ‘normal’ life three years later. But weird things start happening, making him wonder if he’s really as alone as he thinks he is.

Summary
"You use reiatsu to see your way around, don't you, Kurosaki-san?" is what makes Ichigo pause before he can trail after Rukia from this shop she's taken them to.
Something brushes against his senses that causes Zangetsu to snarl viciously in the back of Ichigo's mind. The reiatsu is a light press against his own, like fingers poking something curious and new.
Ichigo hums as he turns to where the source is from. Knows it to belong to the shopkeeper.
Urahara Kisuke.
"You noticed fast," Ichigo replies easily. No point in denying it.

Summary
It’s Isshin, who calls Ichigo a dog. But it’s Ichigo that called himself Kisuke’s dog, a weapon on a leash.
A hand, large and burningly warm, presses against the small of Ichigo’s back. He has to resist the urge to lean into it, the echo of his father’s voice ringing in the back of his mind.
“For someone who doesn’t have any reiatsu,” Kisuke says, pressing close enough that Ichigo can feel the heat of him. “You’re stunningly adept at making it known when you’re angry.”
Kisuke’s hand drops from the small of his back, and Ichigo would mourn the loss, but his knuckles, instead, brush against the back of Ichigo’s hand and - for a single, heart stopping moment - Ichigo thinks about dogs and leashes , and wonders what Urahara Kisuke’s hands would look like wrapped around his throat.

Summary
Dappled in the flashing colored lights of the dancefloor, Ichigo’s body is practically writhing against his ever-changing dance partners.
Strangers who do not know Ichigo, do not care for him, but are being allowed to touch him, to run their filthy, undeserving hands across the lean lines of his body.
Hidden in the shadows off the side of the dancefloor, Kisuke’s hand tightens around the curve of Benihime’s rattling hilt.

Summary
“You’re not alone,” he says. “Not anymore. You’ve got Inoue, and Ishida, and Chad. They’re all thankful to you – they all care about you. And me. Especially me. I… I guess I’ve come to rely on you.”
There’s a long silence before Urahara turns back, his smile soft, and Ichigo feels something shift low in his stomach. “Thank you,” he says.
Or: The long road of Ichigo and Kisuke's relationship is pockmarked by gifts, some worth more than others. Some worth more than Ichigo can repay.

Summary
Oh, Mugetsu didn’t take half of his soul.
It took all of it.
Is it really a surprise when he hollowfies after two and a half years of solitude? Is it really a surprise that a malfunctioning quincy invention makes Urahara Kisuke’s terrifying, broken Benihime a part of his soul?
Is it really a surprise that his soulmate can’t even look him in the eyes?
And why does Shinji look so sad?

Summary
Saying he woke was a bit… overstated. More like he foggily was no longer unconscious.
Very foggily.
And achily.
What the hell happened?
…
…
Wait, right. Experiment. ‘This will be absolutely fascinating, Kurosaki-kun! Imagine what we can learn about the nature of zanpakuto spirits! We already know that the ‘known’ information about them is… shaky, at best.’ Followed by a glance up at him from manically bright eyes and a tilt to thin lips while the pose bared his neck and—
And big strong Kurosaki Ichigo folded like fucking tissue in the rain, he sighed at himself.

Summary
Kisuke has a plan. He always has, and he’s very good at seeing it to completion no matter what. But as he grooms that noble boy into the perfect weapon to defeat Aizen, he begins to regret ever pursuing this idea. He regrets because that boy matures into a soul with a heart of gold and a will of steel and he falls for all that and more even though he knows he doesn’t deserve him (at all).
Fortunately for him, Ichigo has never known what’s good for him.- Language:

Summary
Ichigo knows he's the odd one out. That's why he's more resigned than surprised when he enters his teenage years without getting his soulmark. So when the mark finally appears, it unleashes a turmoil of emotions, hopes and despair.
Because he had begun to think about someone, someone who might as well not be his soulmate and Ichigo begins to think if that doesn't hurt even more.He might have led a rebellion and uncovered a coup, but he was still just a fifteen year old human teenager with all the confusing baggage it entailed.

Summary
Ichigo looks down at the substitute Shinigami badge, the little skull blankly staring up at him. He’s held onto it for all these months, maybe out of hope, maybe because of something else he can’t name. Either way, it hasn’t done him any good. The river is near silent as it flows, only the occasional slap of water against the bank interrupts the silence. Ichigo thinks this is a fitting place to part with his little memento. The badge is resting flat on his palm.
Ichigo doesn’t hesitate.
He tips his hand and the little pentagon falls. It doesn’t hardly make a splash in the water. Without looking back Ichigo walks away.
Up ahead in the trees a path opens.

Summary
SUMMARY: What if Ichigo learned a different lesson from his mother’s death? How would being watchful and wary change the events in his life? And what if that wariness made him more thoughtful and spiritual? What if, as well as being spirit-aware, Ichigo was self-aware?
Warning: This is an attempt at as real a story as I can craft from a series of graphic novels and animated shows about death gods, spirit wars, and supernatural humans. As such, some characters will die. There will be some romance, some torture, some philosophy, some friendship, and some death. It shares some elements of my story ‘To Protect is To Defend’, but it stands on its own and follows a different story line.

Summary
Aizen delays his plan by two years and History changes its course.
Ichigo and Uryuu wake up in the clutches of the Quincy King and his army, and get told they will be trained to join their ranks. Their own input or preferences don't matter; Silbern is a place where you can only rely on your own strength or on his Majesty's favor, and they only have the latter right now, for reasons they don't even understand.
But well, if they insist on giving the two teens the means to break free, Ichigo and Uryuu are not about to say no.

Summary
Instead, right before taking the last drag of his cigarette, Miyamura-san recommends in that thoughtful voice of his, "You should go to the seaside, dear boy. It's lovely this time of the year."
It's not voiced out loud for the world to hear but Ichigo knows what lies underneath the suggestion either way.
Live, it sings, live and love while you still can.
And Ichigo nods his thanks, watching the ash of his cigarette hit the ground under his feet.
What is left of Kurosaki Ichigo is but a shell that can't keep from falling apart at its seams.
Ichigo doesn't have it in himself to tell Miyamura-san just that.
or
Love is as strong as Death. Kurosaki Ichigo knows that better than anyone else.
