What is UraIchi Week?

It’s a week-long fanworks event to promote the Urahara Kisuke x Kurosaki Ichigo ship. There’s no sign-up, it’s just for fun, and everybody can participate. Completed works and wips are both acceptable, and any type of fanwork (fanfic, fanart, gifsets, etc.) is welcome. NSFW and/or potentially trigger-y content is allowed, although please remember to tag your works properly.

The ship itself can be written romantically or platonically, as lovers or friends or even enemies, so long as it stars these two characters together in some way. Poly ships are also fine so long as Ichigo and Kisuke are still the focus of the fanwork. And crossovers and fusions are also allowed even if it isn’t one of the given prompts for the event. Basically, anything goes, and the only criteria is that it has to be UraIchi-centric.

Posting:

UraIchi Week is hosted here on Tumblr and on AO3. For posts on Tumblr, remember to ping @uraichievents and tag #UraIchi Week 2024. For AO3, you can add your work(s) to the collection linked up above. You are also welcome to join the UraIchi Discord server if you haven’t already and come and talk about what you’re working on!

Themes:

July 1st, Day 1: i've met you before / i'll meet you again / this is the first time we've met.. right?

Time Travel / Dimension Travel

Identity Porn / Hidden Identities

“I've suffered from traumatic dreams of my past lives since I was a child, and I'm just now realizing that coming up to a beautiful stranger who looks like someone I've seen die a thousand times in a thousand different ways at a bar and asking if we've met before sounds a lot like a come-on haha no wait come back that doesn't mean I'm not desperately attracted to you please kiss me again” AU

July 2nd, Day 2: It's fact that killable problems are not real problems.

Murder Husbands

Ichigo is Deadpool / unbreakable / any other accidentally immortal being who is really kind of annoyed about it (because it’s boring, and he’s still young enough to be within his lifespan, but it sure takes the fun out of fighting).

All the times Ichigo died, he ACTUALLY died, he just came back. Every time he comes back, he comes back Wronger.

July 3rd, Day 3: Things I Should've Told You / Things I Don't Tell Anyone Else

The skeletons in your closet are about to overflow. Would you like me to tidy it up?

Ichigo is experimenting with self-expression, a hobby, etc., making up for lost time as a regular teenager. Urahara is always the first one (sometimes only one) to see or hear about a new idea.

“The person I trust most is you.”

July 4th, Day 4: Sword and Shield

I am yours to command, use me as you please.

Shiba!Ichigo and Second Division!Kisuke

Summoner/Mage AU: Paired summons who are good apart but unmatched together.

July 5th, Day 5: That One is Mine

Hollow Instincts / Feral Protective

Possessive!Kisuke: He stepped aside for Sui-Feng because Yoruichi was always master first and friend second and love interest never, and because Yoruichi wanted her in a way she's never wanted him. But Ichigo is different, and everyone soon realizes that when Kisuke truly wants something, he always gets it in the end.

“Death can’t have you. You’re mine.”

July 6th, Day 6: Monsters come in all shapes and sizes. Some are born, some are made, and some decide being a monster's pretty fucking cool.

Visored!Urahara Kisuke AU / Vasto Lorde!Kurosaki Ichigo AU

“Ichigo forges a friendship with his Hollow in the Shattered Shaft” AU

vs. Gotei 13 AU: Ichigo time travels back from a future where he was chained to the throne as the next Soul King by the Shinigami.

July 7th, Day 7: Creator’s Choice!

As always, the above prompts are all optional, and you’re free to come with your own ideas. You can also find an excel sheet with all the prompts submitted this year linked up above, so feel free to look through that if you want, and you can also make a copy for yourself.

And that’s it! We’re looking forward to what everyone comes up with!

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Bleach (Anime & Manga) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Pre-Kurosaki Ichigo/Urahara Kisuke, Kurosaki Ichigo & Urahara Kisuke, Shihouin Yoruichi & Urahara Kisuke & Kurosaki Ichigo Characters: Kurosaki Ichigo, Urahara Kisuke, Shiba Kaien, Yamada Hanatarou Additional Tags: Time Travel, Dimension Travel, Crack, this is all crack, phone fic, Animal Transformation, I have not checked the following:, The timeline probability of this happening, Where on earth/what on earth Kisuke would likely being doing at this time in the canon timeline, Bemused and Amused Ichigo who is Rolling with the Punches, Abuse of Schrodinger's Cat Concept, no beta we die like Ichigo doesn't Summary:

Somewhere, millions of psychology and physics students and professors and researchers and doctorates are screaming, “That’s not how that even works!” But Kurosaki Ichigo has always been bad about following rules relating to probability, so really, it shouldn’t be that odd that he’s decided to turn this concept inside out and marmalade it.

 UraIchi Week 2023: Day 1, Time Travel AU/Dimension Travel AU

Should I go with omegaverse for the uraichi week ? I do want to write more omegaverse 🤔

UraIchi Week 2023

Day 2: o if only the dead could speak— you would hear the stories they could tell, of the terrible things we did for love

[quidprofaux]

I wasn't planning on participating, but I needed to add to the event! I was still too new to the fandom last year to confidently add to @uraichievents, so this is my piece to stop being as much of lurker—and to put a little teaser of my BLEACH/Pokémon crossover.

Day 7: Creator's choice!

Urahara Kisuke is a Pokémon Professor, or at least that's what he calls himself. Kurosaki Ichigo, son of the beloved Elementary teacher Kurosaki Masaki, got offered a residential internship on a different continent after his most recent gig at a Pokémon rehab center got cut off, one with way too many benefits to just pass up. His mother was initially wary but eventually pushed for him to accept the offer and go overseas. Now, he helps around a reserve that has strange ongoings and stranger bedfellows, and this Eevua that keeps trying to get his food by tripping him!

Uraichi Week Day 4: Feral

[suprememysticalbeing]

@uraichievents

Prompt day II: It's a fact killable problems are not real problems: All the times Ichigo died, he actually DIED, he just came back. Every time he comes back, he comes back wronger.

It is by pure chance that Urahara stumbled upon another mystery surrounding the extremely reluctant to share Ichigo. However, the scientist was determined to find out what was plaguing the young man even if it was going to kill him.

chapter 6 of Firebrand

maybe a revenant by now

The final day of UraIchi Week 2023 which is some weird mix of mob boss depowered Ichigo with healthy relationships with his friends and high sexula tension with Kisuke that gets resolved with promised smut~

General Info

What is UraIchi Week?

It’s a week-long fanworks event to promote the Urahara Kisuke x Kurosaki Ichigo ship. There’s no sign-up, it’s just for fun, and everybody can participate. Completed works and wips are both acceptable, and any type of fanwork (fanfic, fanart, gifsets, etc.) is welcome. NSFW and/or potentially trigger-y content is allowed, although please remember to tag your works properly.

The ship itself can be written romantically or platonically so long as it stars these two characters together in some way. Poly ships are also fine so long as Ichigo and Kisuke are still the focus of the fanwork. And crossovers and fusions are also allowed even if it isn’t one of the given prompts for the event. Basically, anything goes, and the only criteria is that it has to be UraIchi-centric.

Posting:

For those of you with Tumblr, you can tag your stuff with #UraIchi Week 2023 in the first five tags of your post. I’ll be tracking that tag so I’ll see it and reblog it to this blog. (If it’s been a few days since you posted and I still haven’t reblogged it, something probably went wrong, Tumblr’s not always reliable, so just shoot me an ask about it and I’ll reblog it.)

For those of you with AO3, I will create a collection a day or two before the event starts, and you’ll be able to add your work to the collection when you post. (I’ll toss up a notice for everyone once the collection is up.)

And of course we have our Discord server (link is on the sidebar) so if you want to come and talk about what you’re working on or you just want to chat, feel free to join us there!

At this point, the UraIchi Server has definitely gotten a lot bigger than just UraIchi, but we do still have channels dedicated to UraIchi events.

~ Themes

The votes are in and tallied so here are the results that everyone’s been waiting for! It’s your choice whether or not you want to make a fanwork that includes all the themes of that day, or a fanwork for each theme, or a fanwork for just one. You can make something for each day of the week or just one or two days. And if your fanwork doesn’t fit any of the themes, there’s a Creator’s Choice option on the last day so feel free to bring your own ideas to this event. All prompts can be interpreted any way you want as well, it’s entirely up to you, any extra bits I’ve added is just to help get those inspiration bunnies hopping.

An extra note about the sentence prompts: feel free to change the tenses and pronouns as it suits you. If you’re inspired by a sentence prompt, then of course you should include it in your fic (as opposed to the quote prompts which are just inspiration in a general-theme-of-your-work sort of way), but if you need to change the tense from present to past, or if you’re doing a genderbend fic and need to change the pronoun, that’s perfectly fine.

[lilacwriter07]

(a little sneak to chapter 1 of the uraichi week day 1)

The taste of blood hits Ichigo's tongue, before he realize he was down on his back . Zangetsu howls, screaming to cut the other up .

But all Ichigo does is smile at the familiar stranger above him, his Benihime pierced into the dirt earth close to Ichigo's neck . His stormy eyes never leaving him ."What are you smiling about ?"

"You are so beautiful ." Ichigo admits without any shame, feeling the warmth coming of his skin ."So deadly .. So beautiful .."

"I will rip your heart out ."

"By all means do, it's yours to have ."

[drknedcrystal]

Very late to Uraichi Week but it was because of the prompts that this fic came about.

I was just reading through the prompts and the idea of Hanahaki came about. But I'm not sure which category to place it into: creator's choice? Horror elements? Loyalty kink?

Well, anyway, enjoy!
