arm yourself for war and love

Title: Like A Greek Tragedy
Chapter Title: IX. Flowers And Sake
Author: Cella [stereotype_vamp]
Fandom:BLEACH
Ship: Byakuya/Orihime/Renji [like, threesome of d00my!angst]
Rating: Teen
General Summary: It’s not love, but maybe it is. It’s made out of war, and struggle, and friendship and kindness. It’s odd, and contradictory. Like a Greek tragedy, like an open wound; out in the open, for everyone to see. BYAKUYA. ORIHIME. RENJI. Welcome to this strange show called ‘life’.
Chapter Summary: Training, getting drunk, crying, and hugging one’s taichou: a first day in the Soul Society.
Spoilers: Soul Society arc. AU, because Byakuya also came to the human world; some weeks after the Bounto arc. Arrancar arc about to begin. Highly recommended you read {Things Better Left Unsaid}, because this goes hand in hand. Basically. Shaped up so that it encases the current Arrancar Arc: something of a reconstruction of the entire arc, so as to fit the fic. Crazy? No!
Dedications: To ran_huo, who knows when to prod me to write, and who dug my hole for this fandom, making it so deep that now I can’t get out. Not sure I want to get out. To anyone who actually reads this monster, because apparently, now I have fan girls: thank you, thank you. Only you people could be as crazy as I to think that ByaRenHime works.
A/N: I wanted to make this a oneshot. It grew, and grew, to be multi-chaptered. The characters are way too complex to actually ‘fall in love’ in one chapter. This is going to be rather slow, but hopefully, I’ll finish it. [You can bribe me to do that.] I wish I could illustrate some of the scenes to come. Gawd, I wish I could do that. I base most of the training sessions, and its development on the recent happenings in the series: Recently as of chapter 228, Orihime has met with Hachigen, who explains the similarity of their powers and heals Tsubaki for her. He also remarks that her hairpins are like a zanpakuto, but doesn't elaborate further. If they are indeed like a zanpakuto, I intend to stretch Orihime, and see how much she can bear.
A/N the 2nd: I love Rukia. I love Kuukaku. I love them drunk, and I love the sisterly relationship with Orihime and Rukia. The one I’m forming, anyway. Chinese bellflowers are apparently Byakuya’s favourite flowers. I’ve never heard a man admit to his favourite flowers. Byakuya is such a girl. ::snort:: Anyway, I have a lot of fondness for this chapter, and I hope you enjoy it. In case some of you want to know, it IS longer than the previous one, yeah.

( One should always be drunk. That's all that matters. )

Chapter Summary: New allies, new friendship, and departure.
Spoilers: Soul Society arc. AU, because Byakuya also came to the human world; some weeks after the Bounto arc. Arrancar arc about to begin. Highly recommended you read {Things Better Left Unsaid}, because this goes hand in hand. Basically.
Dedications: To ran_huo, who knows when to prod me to write, and who dug my whole for this fandom, making it so deep that now I can’t get out. Not sure I want to get out. To anyone who actually reads this monster.

Also, IMPORTANT: I’ve finally figured out where to set this monster, time-wise. So, um, Byakuya also comes with Renji to the human world when the Bountos appear. This fic takes place a few weeks after Bounto arc (I don’t know, and I don’t want to guess how it ends). As for the rest, I’ve decided to keep Shuuhei around, together with Ganju and Hanatarou. I just like them a lot. Let’s say they don’t go back to the Sereitei after the Bountos are buh-bye. Meaning, this is when the Vizards and the Arrancar appear. Um, yeah. Yes, I’m going to redo the entire arc. Crazy? Why do you ask?
A/N the 2nd: It would appear as if I’m copying the entire manga into these chapters. Well, not really. Honestly, not really. I’m just giving it a more behind-the-scenes touch. And whatnot. ANYWAY, Rukia-san, Rukia-saaan (♥) finally steps in. Herein lies the beginning of a beautiful friendship. And a taxing training month to come. However will Byakuya react to Orihime’s decisions? Well now…that’s for me to know and you to fret about! And remember kids, crack kills this is a threesome! All fret upon Cella’s lack of moral! Yay! Also, the title to this chapter is inspired by the last line of Casablanca (This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Or something like that.). This chapter is exactly that. The beginning of the friendship between Rukia and Orihime. Now let’s all cheer for Cella’s amazing talent for title picking! Yay!

Fandom:BLEACH
Ship: If you squint, you’ll see some.
Summary: Taichou meetings at the Soul Society were always a bore. Well, almost. BYAKUYA. Of knowing when to shut your mouth.
Spoilers: None
Dedications: To kiratsume, whose long-ago conversation spawned this devil, and who made me my bastard-angst-muffin icon! ::points::
A/N: OOC-ness ahoy. Not particularly serious.

Chapter Summary: The world begins to crumble.

A/N the 2nd: So I made Orihime be the one to take Yami’s arm off. Does this interfere in the plot? Yes. Is this the only thing I’ll change? No. There will be other. Short chapter, as a goodbye. Headed for Germany this week. More after…say, 8th of July. Ta!

Chapter Summary: Byakuya counts his masks, and reconsiders. Some things are explained, and some complicate themselves further.
Spoilers: Soul Society arc. Maybe a bit of Bounto arc, and Arrancar arc. AU, as in Byakuya-has-come-to-earth-as-well, but no farther than that. Highly recommended you read {Things Better Left Unsaid}, because this goes hand in hand. Basically.

A/N the 2nd: It was Byakuya’s time! The angst muffin demanded screen time, so I gave it. If you think I’ve just redeemed him…you’re wrong. 1) There was nothing to redeem, Byakuya isn’t really evil, per se. 2) You haven’t seen nothing yet. 3) It’s not over till the yadda yadda yadda something about a song.

( Just because he is what he is today, doesn’t mean he never was a child. )
