Review: "How did Hitsugaya end up with Matsumoto as his lieutenant?"
Lieutenant is a snapshot of a relationship at its very beginning. Matsumoto and Hitsugaya are the current lieutenant and captain of the tenth division, but how did such opposites end up working together? Fanwoman's answer is a logical exploration of the few facts we do know (that Hitsugaya is a prodigy, and the youngest & newest of the modern captains, while Matsumoto is Gin's contemporary and thus has been a shinigami for much longer), tying them together in a satisfying way.
This fic is an excellent character exploration piece, as well as a patch for missing canon. Those who like Matsumoto/Hitsugaya can read that - or the future possibility thereof - into this fic, but I see it as a purely gen story... and no less interesting as such.
