This time I'm going to write an intro rather than simply notes because there's a lot going on here.
First, I was going to have everything going on with Maemi be a surprise when I realized that that's not really what happens with BtVS. It's more suspense than surprise. You get to see the Big Bad, sometimes pretty early on. So I needed to introduce our Taichou earlier than I'd expected. (I mean, one or two chapters ago, but still.) As for the choice of who to send, it was a combination of story utility and ability to write them. I needed a physical connection to her past. I might've been able to wrangle Byakuya in, but he's definitely not one of my Top Ten Shinigami. Plus the Clan thing hasn't been quite the same sort of issue in ages. Toshirou would've made sense given that he's kind of more in charge of the Living World, but I really don't know how to write him. I really like Ukitake & Kyouraku, they're the right age for having dealt with this stuff in their youth, and they have the necessary amount and kind of power to deal with her.
Some of the backstory especially with Jyuushirou, Shunsui, school, and what the Clans were like is inspired by other fics such as Meifu's Gate (fanfiction.net), Cat's Cradle (fanfiction.net) and Twin Souls (Ao3). More infoming the setting than causing a blatant case of mimicry, but I feel in the interests of full disclosure it's important to share this.
Also, the title is inspired by the fact that I realized Kisuke Urahara has more than a few things in common with Ethan Raynethan he should within safety tolerances and they would get along far better than we'd hope and it would probably be dangerous for the world. So don't ever introduce them.
