I did it! I finally finished this story! *pant pant* It took over a month - partly because work was kicking my ass, but mostly because it just demanded so much more detail and depth than I'd originally planned. Who am I to argue with the muse?
Title: Nexus
Series: Amaranthine (first in series)
Author: Akuni
Genre: Drama/Romance
Rating: M for 'Much Smut'
Pairing: Renji/Ichigo (note: I always write them reversible)
Warning: This is a future fic. I'm inventing things as I go here, so don't expect everything to be exactly as it is in current canon. Character development and all that good stuff.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach, I'm just borrowing it for a while.
Distribution: Crossposted to
kurosaki_clinic,
bleach_yaoi, and
ren_x_ichi. Please ask if you want to share it :)
Dedication: To all fellow Renji/Ichigo fangirls/guys out there. We know it's impossible, we know it's silly, and we know it's
damned hot! A/N: My Bleach OTP is RenRuki, but I'm hooked on fandom Renji/Ichigo (ya ya I say this for each story, so what! ^_^) After much blushing and chickening out (and wine), I managed to write the smut. Go me! Why is it so much harder to write than to read? Although come to think of it, the first time I read RenjixIchigo smut I did so peering between my fingers as I covered my eyes, and I’m pretty sure all the blood in my body was in my face - that might explain the swooning.
