I've been reading through the series of stuff that zangetsugirl posted, and thanks for the point. I also try to get over and read some of the long list of 2metaldog's works because I've always enjoyed the stuff she wrote in other fandoms. In fact, I think I came across your stuff from a comment I read under one of her stories. The Ukitake/Kyouraku pairing touches my *longtime married couple* happy buttons (I also like 5/8 in Saiyuki for that reason.) Also, the collaborative piece you did with stark_black was wonderful.

I don't know if you're open to hearing recs, but since you are kind enough to share your favourites, I thought I might take the liberty of doing the same, although I realize a lot of that depends on how much you like certain characters and pairings. I'm so new to Bleach that I can't say I've solidified on any in particular. A good author can sell me even on crack pairings though. Some of vayshti's stories might appeal to you. Say Something Nice and its sequel Taking Turns were two Bya-Ren that I enjoyed, and Respect Must Be Earned, which is an intriguing Yoruichi+Uruhara+Benihime story. Since you seem to like zanpakutō stories, I thought that one might please you.
