Summary
Any good story is made up of more than mere sentences. If all it came down to was words printed on a page somewhere, every story would die sooner or later. In their meat-grinder of a world, paper was a privilege and a death sentence for a story.
Thus, they inscribed the best of their stories into each other instead - so that they could be passed from skin to skin, sign to sign, sigh to sigh. Until the story became more than a story, and became history instead.
As everybody knew, though - history was only written by the idiots that made it. So they would just have to make it long enough to see what their story became.

Summary
The forces that drive the machine that is fate are fickle - while stronger than the gravity that keeps the universe in place, they can change as easily as a breeze. Sometimes all it takes is the flip of a coin, a choice to go left instead of right. A decision made in a split second, which can change the course of history.
In this tale, the story of Toshiro Hitsugaya was set down another path. Yet time and providence have a way of wending stray chess pieces back into the larger game of fate. So too with other doomed souls destined for greatness - and darkness.
Will these souls meet in time, in this twisted destiny? Or fall prey to one another?

Summary
When Byakuya Kuchiki moved back to the place of his birth, forsaking his successful career and financial empire, it was in victory rather than defeat. Everything he had approached in his life up until then had largely been thus.
And yet, there are loose ends in the hollow mansion he is reviving. One of which just so happens to be the shadow of a contract dating back hundreds of years.
Involving a dragon, no less. And just what it takes to buy - or, buy off - one.
