UPDATE 6/5: I'm a new member here on adultfanfiction.net but not new to yaoi fanfiction. ;) My pen name over at ffnet is also honeyMellon, and I decided to migrate here after hearing the news about ffnet's plan for a "cleansing". I look forward to getting to know new friends, as well as keep in touch with fellow migrants from ffnet. ;)

I'm a huge, huge, HUGE fan of Bleach, the manga, the anime, yaoi, doujinshi, you name it. ;) I love how each of the characters have so much backstory, most of them filled with angst and tears, and it's those stories that make the characters so endearing. The bond of friendship among the characters gives one so much room for imagination...what if it's morethan just friendship?

It's been 11 long years since I last wrote any fiction, and I'm a software engineer so please forgive the occasional awkwardness in my sentences!

After writing "Till Death Do Us Part", I've been getting a lot of ideas about what happens afterwards. So you can think of my Bleach fics to be sort of a little universe focused around Shuuhei and Renji. The shorter stories can stand on their own even though they may have slight references to the first story, but the longer ones would be best read in sequence. Hence:

"Till Death Do Us Part" -- "Pride" -- "A Test of Faith"

My favorite Bleach pairings:
Shuuhei x Renji
Byakuya x Renji
Ichigo x Renji

(See the common trend here? ;p)

I'm also a new fan of D.Gray-Man so I might write something about it soon.

Favorite pairings:
Kanda x Allen
Kanda x Lavi

NOTE: I do apologize for any confusion caused by "When You're Not Here" vs. "When You're Not Home". They're essentially the same story, I ran into problems while publishing it and ended up with both of them. During the brief period of time when it was in the wonky state I got a precious review from BarbaritaS so I decided to keep both of them around.

Saw this cute game on Cuzosu's profile and decided to do it myself too:
Bleach fanfic challenge... number your favorite characters in Bleach in order, and answer the following questions! Have fun!..

HERE'S MY ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS:

1. Abarai Renji
2. Hisagi Shuuhei
3. Kuchiki Byakuya
4. Kurosaki Ichigo
5. Ishida Uryuu
6. Ulquiorra
7. Grimmjow
8. Ukitake Jyuushiro
9. Ichimaru Gin
10. Urahara Kisuke

1. Have you read a five/ten fic before?

Nope. Would be interesting, though.

2. Do you think three is hot? How hot?

YES, very very hot.

3. What would happen if six got one pregnant?

Uhh, Ulquiorra gets Byakuya pregnant? Err...it would be one weird Kuchiki.

4. Do you recall any good fics about nine?

Actually, haven't really read any, although I've seen a couple Gin/Rangiku ones pop up in my search results.

5. Would seven and two make a good couple?

Grimmjow and Hisagi...err, nooooo.

6. Four/eight or four/nine?

I personally prefer four/eight (Ichigo x Ukitake), but nine (Gin) may want four. ;)

7. What would happen if seven discovered three and eight in a secret relationship?

Grimmjow sees Byakuya and Ukitake in a secret relationship? Probably won't give a damn.

8. Make a summary of at least twenty words for a two/six fic.

Yikes. Shuuhei x Ulquiorra? Don't think they've ever interacted at all.

So this is one of the Espadas who worked under Tousen-taicho, Shuuhei thought. With large green eyes that conveyed nothing but disdain, the Cuatro Espada had an air of aloofness that rivaled Kuchiki Byakuya. How Tousen could associate himself with such a creature, Shuuhei would never understand, but he certainly wanted to find out for himself.

9. Is there a such thing as a four/ten romantic fluff story?

Ichigo and Urahara? Possible, quite possible.

10. Suggest a title for a one/five Hurt/Comfort fic.

Renji and Uryuu. Hmm..."The ones left behind", both loved Ichigo but Ichigo only had eyes for Rukia, that sort of thing.

11. What kind of plot would you use if four wanted to seduce one?

Ah, Ichigo wants to seduce Renji, eh? Wouldn't be too hard...I can imagine Ichigo attempting to "help" Renji adjust to the world of the living, and in the process...let's just start with teaching Renji the basics of modern fashion. ;)

12. Does anyone on your friends list read number seven/nine slash?

Grimmjow and Gin...don't think so...

13. If you wrote a songfic about number ten, what song would you chose?

Something cheeky, I guess.

14. If you wrote a two/three/six fic, what would the warning be?

Shuuhei x Byakuya x Ulquiorra: Heavy doses of arrogance, lots of unspoken communication that could be difficult to decipher.

15. What pick-up line might eight use on five?

Ukitake picking up Uryuu? "My haori is torn, would you be so kind as to mend it for me?"

16. Challenge: Write a drabblefic for ten/eight.

Argh. Ukitake again...with Kisuke this time. Okay, word count of 118, here's my attempt:

Jyuushiro remembers the awkward, nervous gait of the blonde former shinigami when he was first promoted as a captain. The man had been young, almost innocent-looking, then. But now, hardened by decades of exile, Urahara Kisuke is anything but innocent. Jyuushiro aches to lift the striped hat off and run his fingers through the shock of blond hair, to look deeply into those intelligent eyes, to assure Kisuke that he can trust him, that Jyuushiro would not abandon him like the rest of Gotei 13 had. Yet, as he looks into that guarded face, he knows that it will be a long, long time before Kisuke would ever allow himself to open his heart to believe anyone again.
