Title: Before the Winter War
Fandom: Bleach
Rating: Teen
Disclaimer: Bleach is created and owned by Tite Kubo, I merely pay homage to characters and a story I love.
Warning: YAOI/YURI, only as far as kissing. Mild cursing. a little angst and some drinking.
Description: The seireitei always held a party on Founding Day, and it tended to be a little wild. This time however, as the Winter War is approaching, people are thinking about their mortality, and what (or who) is important to them. Romance.
Each pairing is labeled in the chapter title, so if there's someone you can't stand you can skip ahead. All the chapters continue from each other, but are fairly self-contained. The focus is on what is driving these people towards each other and how they get together, actual sexing is left to the devices of the characters behind their private doors; though we will peek in on them in the morning. Note: Hanataro x Yachiru pairing is not romantic (for obvious reasons). However, I'm pretty sure she's setting her sights on him. Run, Hanataro, run! Can you imagine having Kenpachi as a father-in-law?
(Also, I have no issue with hard M sex scenes, they're just not in this)
