Arc: Lull

Ebook cover for the arc

After the Soul Society arc, the Shinigami have a lot of readjustment and reorganization to do; Renji and Rukia do their share of it and a little more. This arc is based solely on 1-181 of the manga. Canon events after that are either not shown or didn’t happen, for these stories; this arc is, obviously, Divergent Future. Rukia/Renji.

Patch

Renji gets an offer and wibbles hesitates over it; Byakuya pounds talks some sense into him. Drama, I-3

Renji liked to think that he stayed alert for anything, even when he was at home.

Renji deals with his new job, and the echos of his old one. Drama, I-3

Renji collapsed into his desk chair with a groan. “Who knew I’d ever appreciate paperwork?” he muttered, slumping over. Paperwork, at least, didn’t explode or kill anyone or change into weird, unpredictable hybrids.

Byakuya causes there to be romance, like it or not. Fiat Romance, I-3

Rukia sank back, arrested by the phrase marry out of the house. She remembered the conversation she and her brother had had in the garden one evening, about regrets and stubbornness, and spouses and honor. Her heart couldn’t decide whether to stop beating or to race.

Irrigation

Soi is worn out from work and Yoruichi comes to visit. Drama with Fluffiness, I-3

“Your hair will snarl if you leave it like that,” Yoruichi-sama told her, plucking the half-unraveled braid out of Soi’s fingers. Soi blushed a little, but sat meekly while Yoruichi-sama undid her hair with swift, warm hands. “What’s going on that’s got you so worn out?”
