Forward:
You may notice that I use the term Lieutenant exclusively in place of Vice-Captain. That's because there is no such thing as a "vice" captain in practically any military you can think of. Perhaps it's because I'm in the navy but it just makes much more sense to me this way. Also I don't speak Japanese, therefore I only use Japanese words in certain instances. I also find the honorifics system complicated and a little silly. That's why it's only used by two certain characters whom I couldn't possibly imagine speaking any other way. My naming conventions may seem a little bizzare as well, but I use first and last names interchangeably, since that's just the way it's done in the military.
This story is not canon. It was written pre-Orihime's rescue and I have not read the manga. It's set after the war with Aizen, but those events arent important. The only thing you really need to know is that Gotei Thirteen is still short three captains, the main cast is back home, peace has returned to Soul Society and everyone was blissfully happy forever and ever.
Until today.
