The last two chapters for my fanfic Twin Souls are now up, and they finish the 40+ chapter saga that I've been working on for the last six years. I'm kind of sad, but also happy to finally bring it to a conclusion that I think is worthy of the whole.
This is my attempt to figure out why Kyouraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jyuushiro are the only two shinigami in Soul Society to have zanpakuto that manifest as two identical swords. It starts when the two first really meet at the Academy and ends after both have manifested shikai for the first time. It is mostly action/adventure, but with definite yaoi leanings for the two, and it eventually involved the evolution of Soul Society as a whole.
Author:liralen Genre/Rating: General/G Character: Ukitake Jyuushiro Summary: Ukitake takes a cup of tea. Word Count: 466 Authors Note: This is a companion story to A Peek Under the Hat, which was my Shunsui story in order to figure out who he was. I find myself needing to touch base with Ukitake again, and decided to write this. I'd written him in the garden, once, but it didn't sit right, and I always wanted to rewrite his bit. I like this one better.
