Ichiruki Fic Recs MASTER Repository

Bleach has ended and it has ended with gaping plotholes and poorly explained IchiHime and RenRuki. While I disagree with the canon pairings, I can't comment much as I have stopped following Bleach since,,,, the Arrancar arc probably. Gone were the days when I would eagerly wait for new manga chapters and new anime episodes weekly... oh well..


Anyways, to mend my broken heart, I've decided to create a super duper gigantic master Ichiruki fic list! From fics that I loved since the beginning of Bleach with old but gold authors such as Jaina, Debbie-chan, Overtoned and such, to recent finds such as fics by Tosca and maiden-chan, to fix it fics to fix our bleeding Ichiruki hearts, I hope with this post, our starving Ichiruki souls would be slightly satiated in view of the totally unsatisfying ending. Anyways, let's begin!


One Shots
1. Glitter in the Air by empathapahique
Ichigo and Rukia and a hospital room. "The breath before the kiss, the fear before the pain. Have you ever felt this way?" Love with grown up clothes on. (A real world AU)

2. A Thousand Bridges by Kylara
One boy and one shinigami never meet. The lives of Uryuu, Orihime, Renji, Byakuya, and most of all, Ichigo and Rukia.

3. Notes on a High School Scandal by Jaina
The worst rumors are the ones that could be true. During Rukia's stay as a Karakura student, she and Ichigo find out just how true that is.

4. Circles by Jaina
After walking a straight line your whole life, what do you do when there's nowhere left to go?

The next few fics are by Overtoned or Jazzy as she is known. Surprisingly her fics do not get enough love or recs although they are good. All these 3 fics are from her anthology known as the IRAF which is The Ichiruki Anthology FST or Fan Soundtrack. Would really recommend reading while listening to the particular soundtrack for a fuller experience. All her fics are good, so do check them out. In the meantime, these three are my favourites.

5. Aftertaste - Dare You To Move by Overtoned
Thoughts when Rukia decided to stay back in Soul Society post SS arc. Fic 5 of IRAF.

6. Turning Corners - Runaway by Overtoned
Ichigo, Rukia and Renji in an Oliver Twist London AU. IRAF Fic 6.

7. Stay by Overtoned
Ichigo and Rukia in University! 15th part of IRAF. Fluff.

8. Fiction by Overtoned
Ichigo explaining Harry Potter to Rukia. Lolfic! Not a part of the IRAF though.

And here is the link to Overtoned's masterlist of fics! You're welcome! :)

Fushigi Kismet or tokyofish is an awesome author. Her Other Side Of Ordinary 'verse is popular and is most likely already recced in other rec list, but I still think is worth reccing again! Sitting in a tree is my favourite among the lot, although One, Two Buckle My Shoe comes close.

9. Sitting in a Tree by Fushigi Kismet
Ichigo falls out of a tree while visiting from college. Rukia wages war against a firefly and finds a baby. This is about as ordinary as it gets in the Kurosaki household.

10. One, Two Buckle My Shoe by Fushigi Kismet

11. Excerpts from Peter Pan Bleach by Fushigi Kismet
Five excerpts from a Peter Pan Bleach fusion

12. The Great Chappy Murder Mystery by fated-addiction
except it's so not about that. As you can guess, this is not about the wedding plans, yet.

13. An Excellent Taste in Reading Materials by opheliatta
Yuzu finds a magazine in Ichigo's room. All hell breaks loose.

Two Shots
1. Won't You Smile for Me Tonight by Silver Matter
Between the quiet moments of happiness exist moments of too raw reality. Marriage to Ichigo is much more complex than Rukia expected, and his Hollow isn't making it any easier. Of love, family, and finding happiness with and within each other.

2. This Life is More than Ordinary by tosca1390
She will do her job. She always does. Mob AU, y'all


Multi Chaptered
1. Deathsong by Loquacious Quark
Post-series. An accident has unexpected ramifications, and Ichigo suddenly gaces a new life and a new threat in Soul Society. Living is never as simple as it seems.

2. Setting Sun, Rising Moon by Jaina
At the end of his life, it's time for Ichigo to become a real shinigami, but with death comes unexpected challenges - not the least of which is that presented by seeing Rukia again for the first time in years.

3. Cyclical by hastagartistlife
In a peculiar twist of fate, Rukia dies but Ichigo endures. A century later, she's the reincarnated headstrong human teenager and he's the long-suffering shinigami who sort of accidentally may have transferred his powers to her.

Some things are different. Some things are the same.

And some things, it seems will never ever change.

4. Gathering Strawberry by shiguresoen
AU Ichiruki. Beginnings were hardly ever smooth. Falling in love was not the intent. And gahering that so-called strawberry stood to be harder than planned (incomplete).

5. Pocketful of Miracles by rukiahana
Based on the song by Frank Sinatra, this is a story of two college students coming from two different worlds. Somehow their paths collided and were forced to share it. The story of fate, love and learning to complement each other. AU Ichiruki. (incomplete)

6. Falling is Like This by rukiahana
The telltale signs and ultimate how to on falling in love with your best friend. Ichiruki AU
(incomplete)

Crossovers
1. There May Be Some Collateral Damage by metisket
Ichigo's been ordered to go undercover at a magic school to bodyguard a kid named Harry Potter, and tgus wiykd ve fube, except that he's about as good at bodyguarding as he is at magic. And he considers it a good day, magic-wise, if he hasn't set anything on fire. Bleach and HP xover with blink-and-you-miss-it Ichiruki. Still, a very good fic to read.

2. Ouran High School Ghost Club by Finite Sledgehammer
It's Bleach, it's Ouran, it's wacky! When Ouran High is infested with ghosts, who you gonna call? Ghost Bu I mean, your friendly neighbourhood shinigami of course!

Post Chapter 686, Fix-it (and non fix-it) Fics
1. Through Worlds, Worlds, Worlds by thegeneralgirl
Thinking he had been abandoned after his last stand against Yhwach, Ichigo tries to move on. Seven years apart; seven years of regrets.

2. We Have Lost Even This Twilight by tsukara
Post-686. "If Yahwach was goig to come back at Ichigo's happiest moment, his thinking went, then he needed to make sure that he wasn't truly happy ever again." How we got there.

3. Victor by dissonencia
Ichigo, her letter would begin, I do not know what war you've won.

4. The Author is Dead (Long Live the Story) by hashtagartistlife
"We're giving them their happy ending. The ending they deserved. All of them. The fas. The muscial cast. Us. It's up to us.""Well, I've always been a sucker for happy endings." The end of the once popular, long running manga manga Fabric Softener satisfies nobody, least of all Ichigo and Rukia, the lead actors in the manga's musical adaptation. They decide to take things into their own hands.

5. The Soulmate Continuum by ThyFebruaryFace
Some days Rukia thinks death is the easier way out. But then he looks her way, eyes bright, face smiling and then she realizes she is already living dying.
