Summary
“Shut up, we have much more pressing matters at hand.” Han Sooyoung whispers aggravatingly. She turns back to Dokja, schooling her expression into something a bit more amicable before approaching him. “Hey kid, how old are you?”
“Um,” Dokja looks at her warily. “Fifteen.”
“You look eleven,” Yoo Joonghyuk squints, feeling an unnecessary urge to feed this child.
Yoo Joonghyuk meets Kim Dokja in the body of a child and realises a few things about their past.

Summary
The right words normally get lost in translation, between Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja.
Kim Dokja’s younger self had acted in the only way he knew how- by offering himself up. If there’s one thing that he knows at both 15 and 28, it is that not even death wants him.
For Yoo Joonghyuk, a man mercilessly wanted by life, it makes little sense. Regardless of his say in the matter, he has always been forced to live on. So, how can he reach a companion that dances with death as easily as he breathes?

Summary
"It's not my fault I'm late, there was a superhero fight right on top of the train. Dinner still good?"
"Apart from it being cold!" Yuzu threw after Ichigo as he escaped. "Which ones?"
"Oh, Gamuza and Spoonhead," he called down the staircase. "She curbstomped him into the rails with all four hooves, it was beautiful. Kinda ruined the tracks, though."
He pushed his bedroom door open.
"I like how that has never been his name and yet everybody knows who the fuck you mean instantly."
He pulled his bedroom door closed.
Heart thundering in his ears, Ichigo stared at his own hand on the door handle. Was there really -- no. A hallucination. Maybe Gamuza had kicked a piece of rebar in his direction on accident and now he was in a coma or something. They were rushing him to the hospital right now. Desperate to save him before his brains leaked all the way out. Yeah, that sounded better.
He pushed his door open again, just a crack.
"You close that in my face again and we're gonna have a problem," notorious supervillain Pantera mused, propped up on one elbow on Ichigo's bed.

Bookmarker's Notes
" Grimmjow wasn't sure, exactly, if human 'fight or flight' responses were exactly what he had. Mostly he had 'Calmy thinking about it, should I fight this person?' and then he had 'KILL IT NOW' "

Haunting Me Haunting You by Asuka Kureru (Askerian) for adiduck (book_people)

Summary
Quincies are born behind barriers for a hundred reasons (the biggest being not "What if their fresh and tasty soul attracts a hollow" but "What if their soulmate is not the right sort". Meaning anything but another Quincy.) But Masaki's soulmate is the wrong sort (oh, so much of that), so she greets Ichigo's arrival in their own little clinic, protected by no barriers but the basic ones she put on their house, against prowling hollows.
Isshin cleans mucus out of little Ichigo's mouth, hands trembling, and looks up at her with eyes overbright with tears.
Masaki stares back, dumb with exhaustion.
Over her husband's shoulder there's a white-masked maw.

29. the one where your soulmate’s ghost haunts you when they die.
