Good Story

Oh-kay, where to begin? Numbers!
1) Aizen is an insane yet genius bastard. You captured that perfectly, and I was laughing the whole time. Having Orihime herself throw in the giant monkeywrech was the cherry on top.
2) Little to no OOC-ness, but I just have to rant that LEMON BETWEEN THOSE TWO AT THAT STAGE IS DEFINITELY OOC! The buildup and comedy played off of it were great (although somebody should have asked him why sheets instead of a towell), but between clueless, protective... virtuous Ichigo and naive Orihime, NOT GONNA HAPPEN! THANK YOU for sparing us the details.
3) The overall plot was great, although cannon Orihime lacks that much power period, and now we know more so this fic seems a little out of date. But good, given the time and chapters it spawned from.
4) Finally, I feel that the way that Ichigo's feelings built up for Orihime are quite realistic, esp. given that in the series Ichigo is ridiculously and illogically protective of Orihime, perhaps even more so than he is of Rukia, so I think it's safe to assume that there IS something there that he has yet to realize. Now all we need is the flying pig to fall on him and snap him into realization. Given the number of chapters and proportional development in yea area in Bleach, emphasis on flying pig.
But, that's why we have fanfics, and yours are really good. Easy to follow, balance of funny and serious, intelligent level, no paragraphs half the length of the page or blatant disregard for spell check. So, yes, good job and I'll read more when I've survived my mother's cleaning spree.

I realize that this was practically written once upon a time, and that I typically don't review until the final chapter, but I just have to state that with current events in the manga, you are totally ** with the basic story and ignoring the simpler way of doing all of this. And making some of the reactions illogical, and belabouring Ichigo's "Orihime" is gone funk, but other than that it's pretty good.
I was delighted to see the realistic way the main couple came together, and the time spent between Rukia and Renji (esp. the comfort scene and the aftermath, lol). I'll try not to review again until the final chapter, but this story is coming way outta left field in comparison to the manga. I think it's playing it the way most fans wanted to see it done, until more recent chapters came along, and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.

ok ... sweet... a conclusion...

I love this.

Hey.
First of all, I am really sorry if I am not reviewing after every chapter, it's just that I really want to know what happens next so I can't help but rush to read the new chapter. But I really love it so far and I am really enjoying it. I think you ability to describe the situations in such close details is incredible. I especially loved how Orihime stepped up for herself against Ulquiorra, and even if she couldn't stop him, the way she faced him with determination was great. Can't wait to read chapter 5!

Excellent story. Very good. I am somewhat confused why there are only 157 reviews for this awesome story though; there should be more :p

Looking forward to anymore stories by you.
