hello i’m not sure if you take fic requests (if not, ignore this), i am pretty new to your page but i’ve been reading your fanfics only for the past month and i can’t seem to stop. so i’m here asking you if you could write anything izuru centered ? or if not centered around him i would be perfectly happy reading something even remotely connected to him. i really liked the restaurant review stories with rose since he’s even less popular than izuru… i also love him, renji and momo written together. if you ever think about him please do not keep it to yourself and share it with us, i’d love to read your thoughts! but really anything is fine, i’d just like to read more about izuru

So for the record (mostly to keep other people from asking), I am not doing requests right now, but when I got this, it occurred to me that I write about Kira all the time, but always as a supporting character. I should write a story about Kira, I told myself, he deserves it for all the time I have forced him to be a bystander to Renji's terrible lovelife.

Of course, ten minutes into brainstorming, I remembered why I don't write Kira stories, which is that I like him, but I don't like any of the things that happen to him. I do not want to write about Gin. I do not want to write about The Hole. Normally, I would just write (yet another) Academy story, but I have an Academy thing I noodle around on sometimes and if I had any story ideas, I'd rather use them there. I went through most of the Kira tag on ao3 for inspiration and mostly what I got out of that is that people sure love to ship him, which just made me feel like Kira deserved a story that was about him.

Anyway, then I remembered that I am very interested in Kira's time at Squad 4, even though (perhaps because?) we know almost nothing about it. So, here you go. Of course, Renji is in it, too, because what am supposed to do, write something without Renji in it?

here's to moving on ( ao3, registered users only )

Summary: Kira doesn't know how he thought he was going to transfer to Squad 4 and not run into the only person in the Seireitei who makes worse career decisions than he does.

Starring: Kira and Renji, with special appearances from Iemura, Ogidou, Kotetsu the Taller, and Iba
