This is a general author's note to each and every one of these drabbles, so I figured that I would just make it the first and foremost chapter. The idea of "Trail Mix" came from an idea I had in the shower. I love doing 100 themes, but I adore too many pairings in Bleach to just want to do one. So I decided that I would draw pairings out of a bowl. Yes, it results in a lot of crack, but I gave myself the liberty to reject the pairing if it was too out-there for me (this only happened a handful of times.)
That said and done, I do not own Bleach. I only use Kubo Tite-sensei's marvelous characters for my own sick amusement.
A guide for how the pairings work:
Character and Character - The two characters are involved in the same piece of writing, but that's about it.
Character + Character - The two characters are friends or despise each other, and if you squint/really want to, you could pretend that they are something more, be it consensual or not.
Character x Character - There is a romantic or sexual relationship (be it consensual or not) established between the two characters.
Enjoy "Trail Mix"!
