Bleach
"You play guitar?" she asked, her eyes wide. "H-how'd you get a guitar in the Soul Society?"
Shuhei finished chewing, fishing another noodle from his bowl. "I picked one up while on a mission here," he said. "It was about a month or two ago, I think. This guy was throwing it away, which I thought was strange, since it was almost in perfect shape." He shook his head, smirking a bit. "I think he just couldn't figure out to use it," he explained, "or he had given up on learning how to."
Laughing, Tatsuki shook her head. "That's a shame," she said. "At least you got a free guitar out of it, though. You'll have to play sometime for us!" She took another bite, excited. Shuhei looked a little embarrassed, placing his utensils on the table.
"W-well, I've never played for an audience, you see," he said. "My division members don't really like hearing me play, so I kind of… have to go off and practice on my own, so I'm not that sure I'm good at it."
Tatsuki looked shocked, finishing her chewing. "If you ever need to practice, you can just chill here," she said. "We've got a music store nearby that has tutorials and stuff, and I don't really mind if you practice in the guest room. I… don't really have many people over, and my parents are usually gone anyways."
"Y-you'd seriously let me practice here?" Shuhei asked, nearly choking on his food. "Even if it sucked?"
Tatsuki shrugged, raising her bowl and drinking the broth at the bottom in one go. With a sigh of satisfaction, she wiped her mouth and smiled. "I don't see why the hell not," she said. "I'm not here all the time anyways, and even if I was, I feel someone should support you in your hobbies. It sucks when your friends and coworkers don't, and I feel if anyone should, it should be me." Setting her bowl down, she stood, leaning over the table, hand extended. "Does that sound like a good deal to you?"
It took Shuhei a few seconds to contemplate what was happening. Here was a human, basically asking him to be her friend, to support him in his own hobbies. This day just kept getting more and more interesting. "I-I-I guess so," he managed, slowly raising his hand. He grasped her hand, feeling her shake their clasped hands up and down three times.
"Then it's settled," she said confidently, placing her empty dishes in the kitchen. "You can come back here and practice as many times as you want. Ya know, after we defeat Aizen and all that." The clink of her dishes on the counter filled the small pause, her back turned to him.
There it was again, that small terror in the back of her mind. The possibility that, after all this, they may not win.
"We will win," Tatsuki said aloud, mostly for herself. "And when we do, I'm going to sleep for at least three days straight."
Shuhei laughed a little, resting his head in his hands. He knew he'd need at least a full week's worth of recovery, especially with how little sleep he'd gotten. "Same here," he said between laughs. "And it'll hopefully be a dreamless sleep." They both laughed until they struggled to breathe, the air silent once more.
"What will you do if you have to fight Tosen?" Tatsuki asked, her eyes serious once more. The question ate away at her mind, unable to stay silent. "Do you think you could fight him?" she continued, looking over at the tired Shinigami. Shuhei lifted his head from his hands, the shadows over his eyes harsh.
"Probably," he replied at last. "I gotta protect my friends, after all."
A knock on the door interrupted them, causing the two of them to tense up. "Hisagi?!" called the muffled, familiar voice of Ikkaku. "Let's go! We've got another long night ahead of us! Yer late!"
Shuhei shook his head, standing now. "Gotta go," he called over his shoulder to Tatsuki, quickly grabbing Kazeshini off the floor, sliding the sword into his belt. His hand rested on the hilt, contemplating for a moment.
"Thank you, Arisawa," Shuhei said, standing at the front door. His head was turned away from her.
Tatsuki tilted her head, asking, "For what?" She seemed confused.
His hand on the door handle, Shuhei simply replied, "For everything. For showing me that I was wrong about humans." His head turned, the 69 tattoo on his face revealed. "For showing me that, even in death, we are still very much the same."
With that, he opened the door, stepping out into the night air.

Bleach: Revisited Series
Hello, (Bleach) Tumblr! I’m back after... a while!
I used to be chiapet-irl on tumblr, and now I’m back to remake my fanfiction-based tumblr. I am the author of the ongoing Bleach: Revisited Series and just wanted to make a post promoting it real quick!
What is B:R?
Bleach: Revisited is a canon rewrite of the original Bleach Series, starting from the beginning of the Arrancar arc and going towards (and past) the TYBW arc. It is an IchiRuki based series, but IchiHime shippers are welcome and loved. There are a few OC’s, LGBT+ pairings, and quite of bit of world building, so if those are your things, then give it a read!
We are currently at two novels (over half a million words) so it is a long, long series (just so you’re aware!).
Here’s a quick excerpt from the first book:
"You play guitar?" Tatsuki asked, her eyes wide. "H-how'd you get a guitar in the Soul Society?"
Shuhei finished chewing, fishing another noodle from his bowl. "I picked one up while on a mission here," he said. "It was about a month or two ago, I think. This guy was throwing it away, which I thought was strange, since it was almost in perfect shape." He shook his head, smirking a bit. "I think he just couldn't figure out to use it," he explained, "or he had given up on learning how to."

This account will occasionally post updates on the series. Currently, we are on book two, Bleach: Re(Vers)ed, which looks at both the Fullbringer arc and a dash of Hell Verse (and we are nearing the halfway mark!).
