I Shall Roam the Summer Fields - Master Post [Bleach]
Title: I Shall Roam the Summer Fields.
Fandom: Bleach
Characters: Ensemble. See below.
Rating: R, mostly for language. Also, see warnings.
Warnings/Possible Triggers: Character death. Mentions and some description of pregnancy complications and miscarriage/stillbirth.
Notes:This story is an AU that takes place ten years after Chapter 422, i.e. the end of the Deicide arc. The story diverges from canon just after that last battle in terms of the fates of several major characters (for good or for ill). Also, I could not have done this without the help of my wonderful beta-readers, aishuu, incandescens, and mei_yanohi. Thank you guys for keeping me honest and telling me when things needed to be torn apart and reworked.
Summary: In the living world, Obon is a time to remember the dead and a time to celebrate. But for the shinigami, Obon is something to be dreaded, as Hollows are drawn out in great numbers by the living world's focus on the departed. Ten years after Aizen's defeat, Soul Society faces an Obon season worse than anyone can remember. A dozen shinigami are killed in two Hollow attacks, but even as the Gotei 13 is still recovering from the loss, something even more unusual happens--something that some people call a miracle. But when this miracle turns out to come at a very high price, some people find they are more than willing to pay it.

Chapters:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6
| 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13
Characters and Pairings: While this story is primarily gen, it does feature a number of pairings (mostly het, but some slash) in the background. The following list is subject to change, as the story is a work in progress: Established pairings include Ishida/Orihime, Shunsui/Jyuushirou (open relationship), Byakuya/Hisana, Kaien/Miyako, Chizuru/OFC. Potential pairings and UST include Hisagi/Rangiku and Kira/Momo. Includes mentions of past Gin/Rangiku and Shunsui/Rangiku. Also, be warned that I adore subtext, so if you think you see implications of something, you probably do.
