I am so glad to see you writing for this universe again! I love it so much and refer it to anyone who likes this sort of reading - bleach fan or no. They can just learn the characters from you as far as I'm concerned.
I'm wiggling in my seat for more Nnoitra! I love how you do him and just didn't get enough in POV. Every scrap I get makes me happy. :D
Luvs and well-wishes.

Well this is a harribel chapter.....so next to Starrk, the least shitty of the arrancar I suppose. At least she felt regret at having not been able to keep Rangiku out of Nnoitora's grasp. Speaking of which, I just know that chapter is gonna anger me. Given how recent the battles have been, curious as too why the Captains and LT's are so banged up yet the arrancar seem to be fresh as daisy's? I suppose it makes sense that Harribel would have preferred Lisa seeing as how the woman had a bit of hollow in her and was reasonably powerful

"His anger inevitably gave way to despair as he realized just how hopeless the situation was and how few options lay before him." OWW

-Feel for Toshiro realizing that he wouldn't have gotten very far if he had tried to save her in his current state.

-And damn Aizen's broken ass shikai, I mean that's just cruel to make it seem all the exits are blocked off for the soon to be attacked shinigami. At least Harribel had the mercy to try and make sure Toshiro was shielded from what she knew was going to happen. Doesn't make her helping cause the current situation any better but at least she tried.

"it wasn’t as if her participation was directly linked to the consequences of Aizen’s Victory."

Whatever makes her feel better about herself I suppose.

“How many of my Division are dead?”

-You are killing me with these lines. Can't imagine how hard it must be for someone in his position too feel so powerless and being unable to do anything for the men and women in his squad.

-Claiming or at least one sided claims still seems like a pretty scary thing. I mean nothing can be hidden from the one who holds the claim, you have no control over your own bodily functions and are essentially a living, breathing marionette doll.

-1 taboo eh? Everyone needs standards I suppose.

-Interesting how you have some of the Arrancar remembering there lives when they were still human.


I love these chapters, and I dread these chapters. I love your writing style and the plot.......but the PAIN, so much soul crushing pain.

Where...where do I even begin...

Nova. Dear sweet cruel overlord Nova. That is the hardest thing I have ever read. And I've read some wicked shit in my time. I am going to be fucked up about this for a long time. But I have to thrive on POV for a long time as my #1 weekly thing since SU is on hiatus till 2016. No matter how you hurt me, it seems I am reliant on you to the full extent. I also rely much on reviews Kain leaves. Damn you both and damn BlackFox for this series that won't let me go. Just as SU announces a hiatus you come back with this mess. I'm in hell with no intentions of leaving. Damn you all so hard. But it ain't a party without Darkstar too...

Anyway, you kill me. So hard. Repeatedly. Yumichika is a literal Divine angel sent from the frickin gods I swear to Glaux. He always looks out for those who are in deep shit and I owe him greatly for it. Withstanding this madness...I am in awe. That beautiful peacock harpy bastard deserves a medal and sainthood. Now I want to know how he worked his devil magic and fixed things between Soifon and Ggio. I'd give anything for that tale to be told.

Speaking of the untold...the situation with Nirgge. Thank you for putting that together bed. It was eating at me for so long. But as far as that whole six man Fraccion band goes, I would also give my life to flash back to the times when they chose to protect Ggio. Because by not telling him what was up, Ggio never learned to be decent. Good intentions were there but it seems they fucked up by never telling him the truth. I miss them.

Soifon though? That there is my child. She means so much to me. Remembering that she dies in the end kills every bit of my heart. You are the most merciless god I have ever known. And trust me, I've known some malicious gods in my time. I never wanted to read a rape scene of my favorite pairing yet here it is. I will never be the same. You have destroyed part of my soul as if with a Quincy arrow. It will never grow back. Yet I continue to read as if I am under hypnosis and can't look away. Months later even and here I am. You are crafty and I'm shocked. But I needed this so bad. I need every tale of Soifon during this set of 15 years that you want to weave for us. Please Nova. I'm begging on my knees. It is all I have.

A final note, Ggio. That feline bastard. I would love to wring his neck right now and forever. But it is hard to stay mad because I KNOW he is better than this. Damn you! Damn your epic storytelling skills! He is so much, both good and bad, and I love him to bits. This display is appalling yet I still call him like a son to me. What have you done. What atrocities have you wrought? You monster. I love every agonizing second.

Fun fact: because of the first fic in the series, I gained so much love and respect for Findorr because he was the main victim at first. Every little detail of this pain train fic gets to me. Amazing. I'm floored.

Hope your feeling better soon.

And here we come to the second verse in this song of tragedy and heartbreak. I mean, I KNOW whats coming, I KNOW that it is going to kill me and make me wish death upon fictional characters and yet here I am, reading and raging/crying. Your writing is just that damn good that it keeps pulling me back despite what it does too my soul.

-Yumi ya should have listened too those instincts and gotten the hell out of dodge or at least made as good a run for it as ya could. If only ya knew what was coming.

-Gotta keep reminding myself that this is 'still loyal to a monster' pre-torture Ggio......and try not too wish too much death upon him.

-Damn Soi must have gotten really wrecked if a fraccion is able to subdue her with ease, broken arm or not. Losing to Barragan is one thing but the fact that Ggio and the other fraccion seem to have not suffered any damage is a little out there. Although I am typing this out in a separate tab as I read so maybe I am getting ahead of myself.

-Poor Yumi, doing what he can too survive, and hopefully keep barragans attention on him alone no matter how humiliating it is. At least there was no one left in the hall to witness what was done to him besides Soifon. Small comfort.

-Well damn, those old skills of Yumi's are certainly coming in handy, playing to Barragan's vanity and trying to make things as easy for himself as he can.

-Ah so Ggio was the one who found the estate......and helped slaughter most of it's occupants...including the ones who tried to flee...of..his own will......*takes a deep breathe*....OKAY moving on. And holy god poor Yumi being forced to help kill innocent people due to the claim.

-On the bright side of things, we know from later chapters in part 2 of pov that Nirgge gets killed by kukaku while looking for a pet, so there's that at least.

-......okay 'that scene' made me wish once again that you had killed off Ggio instead of soi in part 2. Regardless of what he goes through in future events, this is an eternal black stain on him. AND he personally took her to the kennels that would be her home for the next 15 some odd years.

-the final lines of this chapter kill me because we the readers know that Soi and Yumi are in for a loooong imprisonment and that Soi will eventually be stripped of her voice and that she will die not long after getting revenge on Barragan.

-You just loooooove torturing some of these characters. If the soi/yumi chapter was this painful then I am dreading when you get to Yammy's chapter.

-waits patiently for the next chapter-

Welcome back!!

Ah something to fill in the gaps from the main story,I am sure this won't hurt my soul*weeps in the distance*

but seriously I love that you are continuing this.

alright lets do this

-So were starting out with Stark eh? Well at least stark owns the fact that shit is about to get 'unpleasent' all though that's the understatement of the century. Since this is the early stage of their interaction and she is still technically an antagonist, Lilinette's attitude is not a surprise.

-I keep forgetting Aizen's shikai lol, figures that's the reason more of the shinigami didn't get away or were caught off guard by the invading Hollows.

"If you are concerned about your subordinates, abandon any idea of trying to help them. They will survive or fall depending upon their strength."

Damn, can't imagine what that must feel like to be told that you can't help those under your command, especiially with what is happening to them.

-Okay in all honesty, for the Captains, is being told that it's either 'rape or die' really a choice? On one hand if they choose death, they can escape the hell there world has become but on the other hand it would deprive their subordinates and loved ones of what little protection and comfort they could give. It's alose/lose situation in that sense. Asking it just feels like a poor attempt by the perpetrator to give the illusion of choice when their really isn't one, especially for people like Ukitake who adore those under their command and still have people that matter too them too look out for.

-Gonna suck when Ukitake finds out that his two 3rd seats have been killed....Unless I really missed something in the main POV story line.

-Well at least his fist time wasn't painful. Mortifying and humilating but not painful.

*Stay tuned for chapter 2, where we will see Barragan, Yumichika, Ggio and Soi Fon.*

Okay despite how much I loathe Barragan and am dreading the beginnings of his enslavement of Soi and Yumi I am curious how he manages to get her to submit to a claim by Ggio. Given her pride and mentality as the leader of the stealth forces I wonder how he manages to prevent her from making a run for it, Aizen's shikai messing with her senses aside.

Again, happy that yo will be writing snippets filling in the blanks. I was always so curious about these things.

-waits patiently for the next chapter-

Okay thinking about what Kain said regarding next chapter... I feel like this is going to be the most painful ride of my disgusting life. Because it was just the beginning. With all the malice and bitterness intact. That, and this is pre-disability. That's going to take so much getting used to. But I'm already prepared to yell at Ggio. So bring it on.

Most curious as to the deal with the fact that both Ggio AND Nirgge survived that entire war. Would like to see the entire thing there, please and thank. It has been eating at me for months.
