Ø  Shunsui/Ukitake

Bleach is one of those things where it’s…odd.  In that the fights are good, but only if you care about the people who’re fighting, and otherwise don’t care.  The background worldbuilding is amazing (hence why Turn Back the Pendulum is awesome), but there’s not near enough of that.  Sadly.  Ukitake and Shunsui are my favorites, really, and this has an amazing arc.  I found it when it was unfinished, and it’s well worth reading to the end now.  (It’s also long, but most of the best fanfics are.  Just, it’ll take a while.)  The original character from the beginning honestly might not be an original character (there’s hints), though all of the other original characters are awesome and fit in (a lot of the students aren’t still around in the future but fit the setting/family), developing bankai turns Shunsui into a jerk like his family, there’s character arcs, forbidden artifacts, the Great Clans fighting among each other even as Old Man Yama tries to wrangle a school together…
