Zangetsu had to teach Hichigo a lot of things. And, since just-awakened zanpakuto spirit had some... Difficulties with concentration, the best course of action turned out to mix lectures and calm activities with sparrings.

Got an idea yesterday-today about Getsu being tortured to death and dying in the catacombs and Nova being too late and finding only his skeleton, literally fragmented from how much Getsu was hurt. Nova takes his skull. Just, you know, absolutely normal thing to do with the body of the person you loved & adored.

A few years later Ichigo & Company go into afterlife-limbo-etc dimension for Reasons. They met a spirit/ghost who helps them. When returning back to the real world, Ichigo briefly wishes for that ghost to not have died when they did - it sounded awful, you know. Apparently, due to Ichigo & his friends forming a unique combination of powers, it turns out to be enough to. Well. Resurrect this spirit back to life.

After having a few (hours) of panic attacks (because being resurrected led to Getsu remembering in much too vivid detail the last days before his death, and if he had a lot of trauma before that, now the amount of mental trauma he acquired was literally insane), Getsu meets Nova once again.

And now Getsu is, uh. Distressed for himself and Nova both, because talking to your deceased mentor's skull is not a Very Good Sign.

Featuring:

some (a lot) of bloodshed from Nova, who is Not Happy with someone torturing and killing his Sensei.

Kuchiki clan having Problems. And sudden Clan Head change. (To Byakuya from his Grandfather). And some structural damage to their buildings.

Giant mural in Getsu's memory. Getsu is having an Experience looking at it.

Nova afraid to lose his Sensei again and being a little insane because of it. And trauma.

Nova turning gray from grief. Getsu turning gray from torture and dying and coming back.

Other mod souls being too in the mood for revenge for Getsu, but also a little afraid for Nova going much too far with it. But they get it.

Looking at my old drabbles of Zaraki Kenpachi / Old Man Zangetsu (+ rusty_paths au) and. They are so much not like I am writing now. (For example, this is not my active OTP anymore, though I still like it.) They may be are not very good or plot-consistent (well, they are drabbles)... But they are so *alive*. Don't remember the year when I wrote those, but it was quite a long time ago, I think?

Kinda want to translate them to English to find new inspiration, but I am afraid the live and emotions will be lost...

> After Yamomoto the next in front of Evil stepped Kurosaki, and Zaraki was having none of it. They - he - were not going to hide behind the kid's back again. Only Zaraki didn't make it. Or rather, was beat to it. Nameless appeared from nowhere, emerged from flows of reitsu filling all around. For a very, very long moment the world was frozen - Kurosaki, Uhwach, the thin black shadow between them. And then the Chaos prevailed.
