Bookmarker's Notes
"The Presence and the Absence both exist," he said, "real and immutable. We mortals turn between them, reflecting in turns the darkness and the light. And more, we mirror the infinite souls who turn around us - the flashes of kindness, the shadows of despair. Like a shifting kaleidoscope, we catch and transmit the great, beautiful confusion of human hearts."
Rukia recognized a eulogy when she heard one, and for a while she held a respectful silence. "But we choose, don't we?" she asked finally, as if compelled. "We decide which way to turn."
"It is our great privilege and our great curse." The Espada leader stepped a little closer, so that he stood by Rukia's shoulder, and together they stared down at the little engraved stone. "This one always chose well," he sighed. "She brightened places that had long been dark."

Summary
When a body turns up at the Eastern Wall, run through with a zanpakuto and a sword of ice, all evidence points to Hitsugaya Toshiro. But this is only the first in a string of killings. With Central Forty-Six having issued an order for his execution, Hitsugaya must work against time to clear his name and find a killer strong enough to take on a captain. The past is never dead…

Bookmarker's Notes
A measure of justice had been found for the dead, Hitsugaya thought, but justice, fairness—it was just as much for the living; for him, for Matsumoto, and for a Captain with a ragged haori and an eyepatch and his hyperactive little pink menace.

Summary
When Tobirama sets out to improve the Shunshin, he hardly expects to dip his feet into the natural laws of time and space. Manipulating those is historically, impossibly tricky, but Tobirama is nothing if not stubborn — he blames his Mother for that though he never met her — so he approaches as cautiously as he can. Hashirama needs him faster for war, for peace, for safety, and not even the Shinigami could deter Tobirama from something if his brother needed him — that he blames on his Father for obvious reasons — so Tobirama retires to his office and creates. The process is tedious, but the Hiraishin is finished in the last year of the Warring States, just in time to use it against Izuna. In one world, the Uchiha dies, but the Hiraishin is fickle and a wild thing caged — Tobirama likes to think they are similar in that way, that that is why the universe pulls just tight and thin enough when he looks at it to show him this — and so, in another world, the Uchiha lives; the rest of the world reshapes itself accordingly.

Summary
“If Andor were double-crossing us, they’d have taken us down by now.”
Kleya scoffed. Truthfully, he deserved every ounce of her derision. “Or the ISB is taking their time painting a very detailed picture and placing all of their assets, so that when they do strike, they can sweep it all up at once.”
It wasn’t a headache, really. An insistent, escalating pressure, the weight of his own compromise, all of the allowances he’d made for Cassian Andor from the first they met and fought their way out of the warehouse on Ferrix. To the moment he’d offered himself up, begged to be killed or to be made useful; and how Luthen had used, without hesitation or remorse.
He couldn’t decide if it bothered him more, to think himself capable of misjudgment so severe, or to think Andor capable of such skillful and protracted betrayal.

Distantly he wonders if he’ll even recognize himself on the other side of this. Even more distantly, he wonders if that would be such a bad thing.

Summary
It’s like this: Ino and Sakura have been dancing around each other since adolescence. First it was practice, then experimentation, and then neither. Sakura would kiss her and act like she wanted her, but then turn around to keep looking for Sasuke seconds later. Ino would wait for her to return like a lost dog desperate for a master. It was sort of pathetic. But worth it, in the moments Sakura was happy with her. It wasn’t that she was trying to hurt her, Ino knew. Sakura was about as good and kind as it got - that was part of the allure. She just didn’t understand how deep it ran.
When Ino joined the force, it became easier to categorize her life. There was her ANBU self, and her regular self. To squeeze in an extra one just for Sakura was easy enough.
