    Summary

    “We finally meet, Kurosaki-san,” the entitled man drawls. “After all this time. And to think, you’re barely more than a boy…how odd.”

    What the fuck? Ichigo thinks, more than a little confused. For starters, he’s never seen this man before in his life, has no idea who he could be.

    And secondly, Ichigo is 26, for fuck’s sake. He hasn't been a boy in a long time.

    “What trouble you’ve caused me,” the man continues. “I admit, I first thought you to be some sort of superstition—or perhaps, even, the byproduct of my men’s overactive imaginations. How could one unarmed man take on a dozen with weapons and come out the victor? How could a single man hold all of Karakura, uncontested?”

    Ichigo sighs. This is starting to look like it’ll take him a bit longer than he thought.

    Summary

    “What do you need?” Kisuke asks without hesitation. His curiosity—and concern—is piqued. Besides, he owes Ichigo more than he can ever repay, and more than that, Ichigo is…well. Ichigo is his.

    His student. His protégé. In some ways, his creation, though he’s grown beyond what Kisuke ever imagined.

    His in other ways, too, though those are less clearly defined.

    “I’d rather not say over the phone,” Ichigo hedges, and that’s probably not good. There’s a hesitation there, and then a sigh. “You know what, sorry. I’ll figure it out. I don’t know what I was thinking—”

    “Where are you?”

    OR:

    8 months after Ichigo loses his powers fighting Aizen, Kisuke gets an unexpected phone call. Once again, Ichigo's found himself in danger. Only this time, he's been dealing with it alone. That's unacceptable, as far as Kisuke is concerned.

    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.

    Summary

    “Growing up like that? It’s all survival. You don’t carry anything that isn’t important to life. You don’t help anyone if you can’t expect equal help in turn—but,” he broke in strongly when Ichigo’s face shifted into wary understanding which was a complete misunderstanding, “when you get out of that life? You tend to make a pack not entirely unlike your past ones. You find strength and stubborn will and the sort of steel-edged loyalty that let you survive and you cling. You make them stronger and you cover their weak spots while pointing them out and training counters so they become strengths. When they’re down you stand over them and you slaughter anyone and anything that threatens them even if it comes down to ripped nails and bloody teeth,” he bared his own as he glared down into wide brown. “And you, Kurosaki Ichigo, are mine.”

    Summary

    Zhou Zishu regarded him with empty eyes, as though he did not understand the innuendo. “You died,” he said quietly, as if that explained everything.

    He paused, because it did not. He searched for something more to say, but all that came were those two words. You died.

    Wen Kexing’s smile faded. For a fleeting moment Zhou Zishu thought he had understood, despite his own wordlessness. After all, he was his zhiji—the one who knew him.

    Or at least, he had once believed so.

    Then Wen Kexing laughed. It was awkward, uncertain, but it was laughter, and Zhou Zishu realized he understood nothing at all.

    ---

    Snowed in inside the World's Armory, Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing are forced to confront the consequences of their mutual deception. Post-canon angst with a hopeful ending.
