Fic recs?

[puddingcat]

Well, I did tell scribblemoose that I wanted a new fandom. Bleach is most definitely it.

So where are all the good writers? None of my usual favourites seem to write in this world. Poking the LJ communities I've found so far has just made me realise how high the standard of writing for Saiyuki really is.

Does anyone have any recs?


(ION, Harold *is* most likely an allergy according to the doctor. It isn't worth getting a test because they just aren't accurate enough and would only end up with being told to use Beconase anyway. Which has helped with the sneezing, thankyou, but not the sinuses. Curses.)

Oooh: Renji-Rukia, Renji-Ichigo, Renji-Byakuya... *grins*

Any combination of the above, really. Ishida's fab as well; it's nice to know my newfound Thing for Redheads hasn't displaced the Thing for Tall, Dark & Looming!

I have definite leanings for a complex Ichigo/Ishida/Renji triangle. Renji and/or Ichigo/Rukia works for me too. And I'm rather fond of Tatsuki/Orihime too.

How far have you got so far, episode-wise?

Squeeee!

Ooooo yes! And yes and yes!
Ichigo/Rukia makes me feel sad for Renji. I don't like thinking of him being left out. All three at once could be fun, though ;)

I'm up to ep 44ish atm - Ishida's just beaten Mayuri, Yoruichi's flashed Ichigo (*g*) and dissed Byakuya, and Aizen's been pinned to the wall in a very not-really-dead manner (sceptical? moi?).

Do you happen to know whether the "Taichou" used to mean "Captain" is the same "Taishou" that is Kenren's title?

I love Yoruichi when she messes with Ichigo that way. ^_^

Yes, it's the same word - Captain - just an alternate spelling.

Butbutbut! Why is it *General* Kenren, in that case, but only (hah!) *Captain* Kuchiki?

I think (and I'm not exactly a leading expert in Japanese, so forgive me if I'm wrong) that the rank of Taishou is usually ranked as General in western army terms. However, the Bleach rankings aren't strictly army ones, and as 'Taishou' literally means something more like 'Unit Commander' which fits the Soul Society ranks just fine, it's used there and translated into English as 'Captain'.

I think, anyway. ^_^
