Bleach [Bleach]Recommended Reading
- Thread starter zerohour
- Start date
So I finished reading Swinging Pendulum, the first Bleach fic I read in LOOONG time, and enjoyed it enought that it brought me here to ask: Anybody has any recommendations for either Time Travel fics or Full-time Shinigami Ichigo?
Pick one :
Straw Man
Haven
Hogyoku ex Machina
The-Definition-of-Insanity
The Bleach Omake Files
Edit: IMO, the last one is the best

Swinging Pendulum's the only one I put on my alert list. Though I skipped the first chapter because it heard it was bad and it didn't make much difference.
Like what?
Like what?
Zanpaktou spirits: I like the appearances of the spirits and how they affect the story. Ichigo seeing them aside, there was a lot of untapped potential for the spirits and the hidden depths of their wielders.
Ongoing subplot-Ichigo's heritage was something I never thought about reading the manga and Ichigo not being concerned about it seems in character since he had other things to worry about but there should've been a niggling moment of doubt about how he got his abilities?
Hollow Ichigo: I just loved the concept and execution of HI. The giant consequences of gaining power through shortcuts was handled well but didn't have as much development in canon and was taken care of via Diecide. Plus the psychological aspects in Sight concerning the hollowfied Vizoreds was interesting and showed more of the troubled aspects of them and Urahara.

You know, it is kind of strange that Bleach is the only fandom that she doesn't make the main character gay as a rainbow.
I keep expecting him to turn gay at every corner but I have been surprised every time I read one of her new bleach fics. In every one of her fics in that fandom, Ichigo barely even has any leanings at all (which is completely refreshing and fine with me).

The closest thing you had to any sort of leaning was Benihime's hostility to Sode no Shirayuki while she was talking to Ichigo. Close, but not quite, since the spirits are their own personalities, despite being reflections of their wielder.
I'm really liking Sight. It's a breath of fresh air in this den of cliches.

DameM's Her Son and its sequel His Mother, His Lieutenant.
Both are pretty good fics set in a future after the Aizen arc. Actually, despite the author being a sucker for traditional pairing fluff, most of the fics are pretty decent. These two in particular actually make you think the premise presented could be plausible one you think about it a moment.

Right so been a while it seems. Probably doesn't help that this isn't really a fic so much as a comedy list thing, but honestly my interest in Bleach has been waning significantly for ages and I saw this and it made me laugh so I figured might as well share it before I stop bothering to come in altogether and eventually forgot about it:

Chad related obviously because really at this point he's all that still pings my interest to any notable degree at this point. :snigger:

Rise of the wandering Ashibaki
As in Veiled Moon, post deicide powerless Ichigo becomes an ashibaki except that:
1)his sekirei is Namiji.
2) while he's powerless, his inheritance allows him to truly feel the bond between him and Namiji, more intensely when she is under strong emotions as when he first bean to reject her in the same way that he rejects Uzume at first in Veiled Moon. This leads him to draw a parallel between Namiji and a zanpakuto and as he is neither Zaraki or Yumichika, this leads him to accepted her. A viable way to have Ichigo accepting his role as ashibaki from the start minus Minaka's bullshit while having him in character.

Sekirei is an Harem story so... but i would like to read something that has the bonds set to "family" instead of 'mate' for a change (instead of Haremy things or wives in case of those who wing more than one... for reasons) so we get a Sengoku Basara/romance of the 3 kingdoms with Aliens instead of... Harems harems everywhere.
or just a freaking story where the main character (minato, charracter from X series, SI, OC) just stays with one or plainly doesn0t wing anyone.
