Summary
Hell is real, and it is inevitable. It lies in wait just around the corner, its maw forever open and ready to catch the powerful from their descent.
Ichigo sees no reason to prolong their arrival, and even though Rukia knows she should tell him no, her real answer, just as inevitable as their fate, lies in her hesitation. For IchiRuki Month 2022, day 3: Take my hand, take my whole life too. (canon compliant through No Breaths from Hell; mind the tags/trigger warnings)

Summary
For centuries, Sokyoku Hill was a site of death, a tall, looming presence meant to remind the overly powerful of just how little sway they hold over the world. But two decades ago, it became the site of something far greater. Now, the hilltop is a reminder that while death equalizes most, devotion (and some theatrics) transcends any obstacle or barrier, time and time again.
At least, that’s what Ichigo thinks, and he’ll get his kids to realize it too if it’s the last thing he does. (for the IchiRuki Big Bang 2024)

(for IchiRuki Week 2023, day 5: “What’s stopping you?”/day 7: Finish that WIP!)

Summary

Told in vignettes long and short, this is Byakuya and Hisana’s marriage at its best, worst, and everything in between. (For ByaHisa Weekend 2022)

(For ByaHisa Weekend 2022)
