So when a series ends there are two things that can happen that I absolutely hate.
A big time skip
Everyone gets a happy ending
So as you can imagine I am not happy with the ending of Bleach, especially since there were so many unanswered questions. So I decided to write my own.
Now for the shipping – I am and always will be IchiRuki. No I do not hate Orihime and Renji. I actually understand why Kubo didn't put them together – Ichigo and Rukia's bond sort of transcended that of a romantic couple. Still not happy about it so this is IchiRuki.
One more note – back in chapter 546, Kyouraku came to Ichigo's friends and said that there was a possibility that Ichigo's power would be so great that they couldn't allow him to go back to the real world. That's what happened in my story.

Ichigo watched silently as the last remains of Yhwach disintrigrated into the black substance. Perhaps he was supposed to feel victorious or satisfied that his mother had finally been avenged but it felt surprisingly hollow inside.
The dark element retook the form of the Soul King's Right hand. Ichigo felt a sense of gratitude before it shot through the open portal back to the palace.
"The Right Hand has been freed of Yhwach's influence and is going to reunite with the Soul King," Aizen stated. "How odd it is that I helped the creature I once sought to destroy."
Ichigo turned to gaze at his former enemy. "Does that mean you won't follow it?"
The former captain gave his famous smirk. "You're more powerful now than when we fought. Besides, there's not exactly much to rule over," he said, while looking at the ruin that was once the Seireitei.
"You know that power comes with a price. You will never be allowed to return to the Living World. Neither your body nor any gigai Urahara Kisuke made could contain it. Any non-spiritually aware human would be crushed by your mere presence."
Ichigo didn't respond; he already knew that. Still, he didn't regret his decision. He was able to protect the people he cared about. That was all that mattered.
Looking over, he saw Ishida deep in thought, most likely thinking about his mother or that he was, once again, the last Quincy.
The sound of footsteps caught his ear as he turned and saw his friends, still battered and bruised by the battle, coming through the portal.
"Is… is it over?" asked Inoue.
Ichigo smiled. "No, it's a new beginning."

That was the best explanation I could come up with as to why all of creation wasn't destroyed after Yhwach's death because it was stated that he was the linchpin holding everything together after the Soul King died.
