Title: Snowy Days, Quiet Nights
Rating (so far): T
Summary: Members of the Bleach gang celebrate the season. Various pairings. So far, IchiRuki.

Read it here at fanfiction.net =D No guarentees, but I'm open to suggestions or requests.

More sweet than smexy, esp. compared to its sequel. 

Hi guys! I'm bored out of my mind. Could anyone recommend me some truely epic IchiRuki fanfics? Bonus points for long AUs, and domestic life, children and stuff. I'm not one for angst, though I have no problem making exceptions if the story is really worth it.

Please and thank you, everybody =D

Title: Death, Strawberry, and Happily Ever After
Summary: They knew a life without each other wouldn't be worth living. 
Chapter 20: Ishida Uryuu
>> Click me! <<

Title: Together
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 616
Warnings: boy kissing, mention of injuries & death
Characters: Ichigo, Renji
Pairing: Ichigo/Renji
Notes: Like the others, this is part of the RenIchi fics I've been giving to spikykun as a Hannukah present this past week, but my lovely cmc42 didn't have the best morning, so this is for her too.

"You're going to open all your wounds, dumbass."

I posted another RenIchi ficlet over at my journal earlier this week that I did not crosspost here, because I'm of the opinion that it's not very good/IC, but you can check it out if you'd like.

Title: Bad Mood
Rating: PG-13/T
Word Count: 486
Warnings: boys making out, a small bit of cussing
Characters: Ichigo, Renji, a small mention of Isshin
Pairing: Renji/Ichigo
 
Kurosaki Ichigo was not in a good mood.

Title: Bad Romance (working title for now)
Author:zealot1138
Pairing: Renji x Ichigo
Rating: PG-13 (for now - might go up if the smex goes up)
Word count: CH1 - 1,747; CH2 - 3,750 ; CH3 - 2,831
Summary: AU. Ichigo is so NOT gay, so when he goes to the exclusive bordello Club Sakura, will a certain redhead named Renji make him think twice? (x-post to other comms) 
Disclaimer for the entire story: I do NOT own any of these characters from BLEACH which belongs to Tite Kubo et al. Thank you.
DISCLAIMER: All characters depicted in sexual situations in this post/fanfiction/fanart (including material in the comments) are fictional and are intended to be and considered to be by the author of said material of the legal age of consent in the United States state of California, regardless of what age these characters may be in the material they are derived from.

Um, so I've had this idea rolling around.  Ingredients are:
Renji as hot male prostitute
brothel aka sporting house owned by Byakuya
Ichigo meets Renji etc. etc.
So, I got enough words strung along to put out what one could call a chapter three chapters, currently.
I acknowledge I'm a bit too wordy, and that I ain't good at writing smut, and that I might lean more towards the fluff. 
:shrug:  Meh.  We'll see.

So, you can read each chapter on FF.net (because also posting to LJ is just overwhelming, yo.)

I really don't have a good title for the fic, so for now, I'm calling it BAD ROMANCE (ala Lady Gaga's song which I plan to use as background for one chappie). Hopefully, I'll actually finish the story - unless of course I get lazy and no one else cares for it.

P.s.  I live for comments.  >_<

Comments are love!

There was one second, a fraction of it, when Ichigo was pretty sure he could have turned heel and left.

Aaand, on a more personal, non-RenIchi related note, my cohort and I have started up a general fan community for the Vizards - You can find it here: Unmasked

Summary: "He's the only one that doesn't pay attention to my boobs," she explained, matter-of-factly. "And the way he looks at you?"

Comments are love, we worked long and hard on this! :D

Not having a crush on Kurosaki was the worst mess he'd ever gotten himself in.

Yet more pointless RenIchi porn from me. I've been told this should come with a cliffhanger warning, so I might as well add that too. :D

Title: The uniform
Author: figaro_figaro
Pairing: Renji/Ichigo
Rating: R

Artist: are_sensei
Rating: PG, I guess
Pairing: Renji/Ichigo
Warnings: Sexy guys!
Notes: Hey, all...here's some more of the yummy art that the wonderfully talented are_sensei has created for the Stuck... series Shinigami Women's Association calendar (of course featuring our two favorite guys).

January SWA calendar - Um, yeah, I just really like look on Renji's face...*stares some more*

March SWA calendar - Well, Ichigo, if Renji were that close to me, I think I'd be blushing, too. :D

August SWA calendar - Now, be sure to play nice, boys...

I've also added the calendar link to the appropriate Acts in case you wanted to read their descriptions in context here, here and here. Enjoy!

Title: Chapter One: Light in the Window
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 814
Warnings: some language, implied character death
Characters: Renji, Ichigo, a mention of Rukia
Pairings: nothing this chapter, eventually Ichigo/Renji (probably will be some Shunsui/Ukitake in there somewhere too xD)
Notes: Part of a belated Hannukah giftfic for my lovely spikykun . Will probably not be one chapter for every day of Hannukah like planned, because calculus and my muse both suck. xD But there will be eight installments at some point! >D;;

Ren has given her approval for me to post this places now, so. xD Here you go~

It was that in between hour- after the partiers and studying students had finally collapsed, but before the average worker had begun to stir.

Also, I wrote a short little drabble a couple weeks ago:

Title: Midst of War
Rating: PG-13/T
Word Count: 191
Warnings: implication of sex, a naked chest
Characters: Ukitake, Ichigo, Renji, Kiyone
Pairing: Renji/Ichigo
Dedication: This little drabble is for my two most favorite people in all the world, cmc42 and spikykun. ILU my silly RenIchi fans. <3

One quiet night...

Anyone noticing a pattern? xD Basically, you need to blame cmc42 and spikykun for all my RenIchi. Spiky: JUST AS PLANNED!

As suggested by spikykun (Whoops!), I'm opening up an official icontest for this community~ Hooray!

Icontests are pretty self explanatory, I think, but just in case here are a few ground rules:

- Please only submit your own work or work you have permission to use! All officially published images (manga pages, anime screens, hell, even published doujinshi pages) are fair game to be turned into icons, but if you're going to use anything that's fan drawn or fan colored please make sure you have the artists permission and give them credit.

- Please keep things relatively work safe. 'Relatively' being the key word. Full frontal nudity and what not probably won't sit well with the LJ police and I'd rather not have them start hounding me.

- To submit an icon, please comment here with it and any other information/credit belongs with it. All comments on this post are screened. You can submit as many icons as you'd like.

- The deadline for submissions will be SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19th That's one week from today. On Sunday, the 20th, I'll make a post including all icons that have been submitted and open it up to a popular vote.
