Byakuya: Hisana, I need-
Hisana: *hands him his journal*
Byakuya: Also can you make me a-
Hisana: *hands him his coffee*
Byakuya: Marry me?
Hisana: Took care of that too. We've been married for three years, honey.
Byakuya: *smiles sweetly*
Chapter 45: Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose (ao3 link)
Summary: Abarai Renji doesn’t have a fortune, but he does appear to be in want of a wife, at least in Lady Kuchiki’s opinion. Fortunately, Lady Kuchiki also has a sister, and a woefully eligible one, at that. (itty bitty Hisana Lived! AU)
Act IV: The Kuchiki entourage returns to the city with big news. However, the reaction it gets isn't what anyone was expecting.
Rating: T, for minor cussing and the occasional innuendo.
This time: Rukia and Renji reaffirm their commitment (to the grift).
it’s just a nothing throwaway line while giving you treasure but in soul resonance there’s a spot in the sewers where you find a note that is a map of the kuchiki mansion (you don’t actually see it) and I headcanon it’s left behind from hisana casing the place
look. listen. i just think that byakuya/hisana/renji has so much potential and i am paddling this tiny leaf-sized raft furiously away from (or towards???) the storm-drain waterfall alkjdlaksj
I JUST THINK THEY WOULD WORK REALLY WELL TOGETHER. byakuya would absolutely self-immolate if he ever realizes he has feelings for someone who isn't his Most Beloved Wife but hisana would think it over because she's pragmatic like that, and come to the conclusion that this could be good, actually. AFTER byakuya has been convinced not to walk into the ocean to drown himself. hisana wants to see her husband kissing his lieutenant. and it'll be nice to see someone hold him down properly. and she's seen the way they look at each other, and renji is clearly very devoted and byakuya is lovesick - yes, this could be good.
renji's just in this for the ride, he'll sleep at the foot of their bed if that's what they want, he will take any tiny crumb that they give him
hisana thinks he's very silly. it's a big bed. come cuddle her and her husband!!
also renji and hisana and rukia have their Inuzuri bond and there are many shared glances across the dinner table that completely go over byakuya's head. he is at peace. he is so happy. he has all his favorite people here. yay.
As a longtime fan of this ship, I've read my fair amount of fanfics. That being said, I'm listing some of my favorites here in case you're scrolling through the tag and wants to read some nice fics.
DISCLAIMER: Of course there are many other great fics out there and I will try to keep this list updated, but these are currently the fics that I could remember from the top of my head.
A Thousand Springs by TollPatsch - Mio dropped to her knees and lowered her head to the ground in front of him. "Kuchiki Byakuya-sama. In all the years we have been married, I have never wanted to trouble you. This the first and last time I would dare." Her voice trembled and she gathered all her courage. "Please help me." Byakuya stood. "I cannot." [Pre-canon. OC/Byakuya/Hisana, with slight divergences]
Status: 4/? (Incomplete)
This was a great fic I stumbled upon a few years back. Definitely one of my favorite ByaHisa/ByaSana fanfics ever. I was a bit skeptical about it at first seeing as it included Byakuya x OC, but honestly the author introduced the OC so well right on the first chapter that you start rooting for her. Love the prose and world building in this one, but you should be warned that this fic hasn't been updated since 2019.
100 Byasana Oneshots by LadiiAJ95 - This is 100 oneshots of Byakuya and Hisana's time together after their marriage.
Status: 59/? (Incomplete)
Probably the first ByaHisa/ByaSana fic I have ever read. Pretty much a different story in each chapter showing us moments throughout their marriage.
A Band of Travellers by A_Fine_Piece (AO3 / FF.net) - One choice can transform everything. As unrest surges in the Rukon Districts, an unlikely band of Shinigami must restore the balance. Or die trying.
Status: 16/? (Incomplete)
A fic for those who like the idea of shinigami!Hisana. In this fic she is the Lieutenant of the 4th Division. I won't spoil too much but she goes out on a mission with Byakuya, Kaien and Gin.
Ruin & Rise Series by A_Fine_Piece
The Darkest Black - To Hisana, fortified compounds and spellbound doors are not obstacles, they’re invitations. When her last job goes sideways, Hisana is soon given the opportunity to win back her zanpakutō and learn precious information about her sister’s whereabouts. The catch? She must infiltrate House Kuchiki as a maid and steal a valuable piece of art.
Status: 14/14 (Complete)
Oh my. Buckle up and get ready for the ride. And when you finish reading this and you still want more, worry not, there is also a sequel!
[SPOILERS BELOW FOR THE DARKEST BLACK! SKIP STRAIGHT TO A THIN RED LINE IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO READ THE SUMMARY OR MY COMMENTS ABOUT THE FIC]
An Education - As punishment for the attempted theft of a priceless piece of art, Hisana is required to complete her training at Shin'ō Academy, where she must navigate the treacherous machinations of nobles while hiding her connection to a certain heir….
[THIS IS YOUR FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT BELOW IS A SPOILER FREE ZONE FOR READERS OR FUTURE READERS OF THE DARKEST BLACK]
Status: 27/27 (Complete)
This story is a continuation of The Darkest Black and boy oh boy, buckle up cause you're in for a ride (part 2). Without wanting to spoil too much, if you thought the previous story evoked strong emotions (anger) you have not read the classism of this second part yet.
Mortal Devices - When research and schematics are stolen from the Twelfth and end up in the World of the Living, Soul Society scrambles to retrieve the documents before they can be used for mass destruction.
Status: 6/30 (Incomplete)
I must admit I have yet to start this one because I still haven't finished the second part. To be updated...
A Thin Red Line by A_Fine_Piece - An AU in which Hisana never died. There are exactly 16 stories, but one in particular (my favorite, I must admit) tells the story of how Hisana and Byakuya got together at last:
Part 0: Turning Back the Hands of Time - Set prior to the beginning of the series during Hisana and Byakua's courtship, Hisana is a well-regarded courtesan with a client list that her contemporaries would kill for....
There are some heavy scenes although nothing completely explicit so I would recommend that you always read the tags provided by the author.
Stages by A_Fine_Piece - Byakuya Kuchiki was young and naive. He was just the type of man who would actually fall in love with his whore.
Status: 5/5 (Complete)
Once again check the tags.
You can also find the author on Tumblr: @afinepiece and @create-with-afp. This author has contributed greatly to the ByaHisa/ByaSana community. I've only listed these fanfics because these are my favorites, but there are many more if you check their blogs or AO3 profile.
Ophelia's Dream by Josey - Alone and pregnant, Hisana searches for the father of her child.
Status: One-shot (Complete)
This is more of a Hisana-centric fanfic, but it's quite interesting. It plays with some coincidences from the Bleach universe and since we know nothing about Hisana or Rukia's backstory, I can see this as one of the many possibilities.
The Firefly Wakens by 100demons - Byakuya falls in love for the first time. (Needless to say, it freaks him out. Considerably.)
Status: One-shot (Complete)
I've probably read this fic more than twice.
To Love Means to Let Go by kusudama_akatsuki - The great Kuchiki Byakuya has never submitted to defeat, not even when love was the question.
Status: One-shot (Complete)
A cute little short fic.
Marriage Is by Watch_Shield_Kill - You might have an idea of what to expect, but you never actually know what you’re in for when it comes to marriage. There are ups and there are downs, and sometimes, you don’t even know what to call it other than love (and maybe not even that). Told in vignettes long and short, this is Byakuya and Hisana’s marriage at its best, worst, and everything in between. (For ByaHisa Weekend 2022)
Status: One-shot (Complete)
Beasts, Gods, and Other Creatures of the Night by Watch_Shield_Kill - She wanders the forest in search of sustenance and light to shut out the past. She doesn’t expect to find cherry blossoms passing through an open glade. And she certainly doesn’t expect to find the Shinigami wielding them. But just when she thinks there can’t possibly be any more surprises, the Shinigami keeps coming back—and so does she. (For ByaHisa Weekend 2022)
Status: One-shot (Complete)
When The Sky Burns by Kuroi-cho-tsuki-shiro - It's 1940, the world is at war, and the death of two more will go unnoticed here, but there are other worlds than this. All Hisana wants is to go home. Not AU. Hisana and Rukia. Beginning of Hisana x Byakuya.
Status: Complete? Sort of?
This is actually part of a series about Rukia. As this is Fanfiction.net, there is no way to group stories into a series as you see in AO3, but each synopsis has a number at the end so the reader is aware of the reading order. I wouldn't say it is the exact chronological order of the original timeline, but I believe it is how the author intended the stories to be read.
I will link the other ByaHisa stories in chronological order below, but it is also worth checking out the other stories from the series.
Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11, Part 12, Part 13, Part 14, Part 15, Part 16, Part 17, Part 18, Part 19
[NOW SOME SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION]
Hidden Truths by Yours Truly - Hisana is a soul from Rukongai with a secret connection to a rich nobleman with dubious businesses spread throughout Soul Society. All Hisana wants is to find her sister, but once the rich nobleman manages to place her inside Seireitei as the new cleaner for Squad Thirteen, the peace she so longed for is nowhere to be found.
Byakuya is the hope of the Kuchiki family, but with his ill father, a demanding grandfather and his impending nuptials, he feels the pressure suffocating him. But everything changes when a chain of events unravel his perfectly organized world.

My first ever published ByaHisa/ByaSana fic! Yay!
There is only a prologue for now but I will hopefully be posting the first official chapter in the coming months.
I do have around three or four ideas for byahisa stories, but they're all still early drafts that will probably never see the light of day. If you read A Thousand Springs (which I highly recommend. It's the first story on this list for a reason!) you might notice that this fic was slightly inspired by it.
I have a lot of things to say about this story, but seeing as I've only published a prologue so far, I'll keep my mouth shut.
