OKAY. I kid you not when I say that I re-read every snippet (during my art class, when I was supposed to be doing yannoe...art related stuff but instead I took my phone out and read your wonderful writing instead).

These made me squeal out loud. I know that sounds stupid, but I was dying from emotion so I had to move to the ceramics room in the back where no one could hear me LOL. I love love love every little detail you add, because it makes the passage just so much more enjoyable. There has been a halt to Ichigo and Rukia moments in the manga, but I hope you continue this when we start seeing our favourite heroes bickering again :)

Reading this made me feel so nostalgic, you have no idea. And it's weird because I've been re-watching the anime, and you stopped at the *exact* part where I was on (Renji doing his little chant before they all part ways)!

Anyway, I loved this so much. You pretty much took the majority of my favourite scenes (seeing as how I adore Ichigo and Rukia, evidently) and crafted them wonderfully into words. I don't think I can express how much I like the way you write. It has the perfect balance of description and dialogue. Also, with these little snapshots fleshed out, it gives me more time to appreciate them. Now I have three ways to appreciate all these moments :D Pictures from the manga, animation from the anime, and writing from your collection LOL ;)

Your characterization is flawless! Update soon! It's nice to know how dedicated you are, with the organization of chapters you wish to write! Also, thank you for the list of music, I'll be sure to check out some of the songs!

Lovely. The way you describe Rukia - "She was the hard immutability of ice that does not melt and the unforgiving freeze of winter" - beautiful, and fitting (even though I only read about 50 chapters of bleach, I can appreciate this).

Keep up the good work

Ah, so this is what you were hinting at. I like- no, love it.

I love these little snapshots - as this is the only way I can describe them as - picked out scenes with a slowed pace that gave it more meaning and impact than it originally had. I love the disjointed feeling from moment to moment; it's like flipping through a book and falling on a random passage before skipping ahead and reading somewhere new.

I love how you balance the small things (Rukia vs juicebox, Ichigo and Rukia's drawings) to the major moments (the power transfer, Ichigo vs Grand Fisher, the rescue) and everything inbetween (so I'm not the only one who thinks that Rukia's shikai reveal was one of her most defining character moments :) ).

Keep up the great work.

I like the scenes you've chosen so far :)
