21* Recommended by: nimloth, @/{{Bookwormtiff}}
22* Comments: ncfan has written ''hundreds'' of character-centric one-shots, most of which are rather angsty and always offer interesting takes on all characters. Particularly the Ishida family.
23** Seconded. Her work is all beautifully written and she has some of the best oneshots I've ever read.
24** Also thirded. She's shot well past the thousand-story-mark, and ''anything'' she writes is quality.
25** The fanfiction "Entropy" featuring nearly 200 Ishida family centric one-shots deserves special mention.

35* Comments: For that matter, everything by Incandescens is pretty amazing. Beware of the SlashFic, though.
36** Incandescens has a way of writing which just flows and works so ''well''. There's a noticeable tinge of sarcastic, deadpan wit in many of her more humorous works, and yes, she normally writes a type of hilarious, though subtle, crack. (Sounds weird, but there it is.) Her serious works, though, are literary works of art. Oh, there ''is'' a considerable amount of slash, and she writes a lot for her [[OneTruePairing OTP]] [[OneTrueThreesome threesome]], Ukitake/Kyouraku/Nanao.

Just be aware that, as a Girls Love lemon writer, every single story, without fail, contains at least one graphic sex scene between female characters, but there's more plot than porn here.

50* Recommended by: @/{{Croaker}}
51* Comments: [=Case13=] - aka 'Fosfor' on some forums - is a master of recasting stories in ''interesting'' ways. ''Stray Cat Strut'', for example, takes the idea of Ichigo's early growth in spiritual strength and has him end up training with Yoruichi a couple of years before the start of the series. He and Tatsuki go after Grand Fisher together, and the results are ... impressive. Excellent characterization and a true talent for the crossover cameo, and some truly delicious alternate universes. Sadly, he seems to have burned out on fanfiction in general, so for now, consider his works as Dormant, if not Dead.

54[[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/986305/ Yemi Hikari]]
55* Recommended by: Raptyr
56* Comments: Specializing in just about anything except hardcore romance, Yemi Hikari is the go-to author for Hitsugaya fans. She often writes in the fanon belief that Isshin Kurosaki was the previous Captain of Squad 10 [[spoiler:which was confirmed in the "Anything But the Rain" mini-arc; Hitsugaya was his Third Seat.]]. Regardless of this, she showcases a tight familial bond with the members of Squad 10 (and Gin). Most of the stories are light, but some are definitely serious. Recommended are the Fics ''Admiration'' and the ''Understanding'' and ''Sub Ubi'' spinoff series, both of which do contain darker notes and are not for the faint-hearted.
57** To note, there are actually two camps on Hitsugaya Toshiro's characterization. One side leans towards writing him as an adult type of character whereas the other leans towards writing him with a childish side. Yemi Hikari falls into the second group.

61* Recommended by: jeun
62* Comments: peroxidepest17 has written a large amount of drabbles and fics for Bleach, with the drabbles collection hitting 500 chapters. There are a lot of different pairings and focuses, but most of the works flesh out the characters or are good for a laugh. There is some het but most of the pairings are Boyslove pairings. Do note that most of it was written around the time of the Soul Society Arc and can therefore diverge from canon.

67* Comments: [=xCleverFox=] -- formerly Allen the Musician -- has a series in progress that takes place several years after the Winter War. It can be a little hard to discern the exact placement of the fics chronologically sometimes, but they are all worth a read. I won't spoil anything, but keep in mind that war has its tragedies.

70[[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2112040/ rii no ame]]
71* Recommended by: @/{{Bookwormtiff}}
72* Comments: rii no ame's writing is comparable to poetry. Many of her oneshots/fics are full of introspection and angst, but these factors are the highlights of her work. She also has a talent of getting into the characters' thought processes, which can be quite interesting to read. '''Warning''' - Her stories are mainly '''BL''', though she does write a tiny bit of het, most prominently Ichi/Ruki. You're fine if you read the T-rated ones, but the M-rated fics are ''truly'' hardcore Yaoi, so be very, very careful.

77* Comments: sarsaparillia writes for many fandoms, and has a very nice collection of Bleach drabbles. Her style is peculiar as it contrasts and moves between choppy abruptness and eloquence, but somehow it flows and makes for an engaging read every time. Her OTP is Nnoit/Nel (she's one of the only writers that specializes in this pairing) and her fics are het.

All her fics have wonderful and accurate characterization (Especially from Ichigo and Orihime), and really they remind you that in spite of Ichigo's companions being basically superheroes, they're still teenagers that aren't that mature yet. While she definitely isn't perfect she really is a diamond in the rough, and you should really check her out.

129* Synopsis: The works of vicioux, an author specialising in {{Crack Pairing}}s, comprise a single, shared universe that begins with ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4957728/1/ Call You By A Different Name]]'' and continues from there. The war is over, Aizen is dead, and the small group of rogue arrancar who helped make it happen are slowly integrating into Soul Society with... varying degrees of success. However, a new threat stirs from their pasts, and Hueco Mundo may not be done with them or their new friends yet...
130* Pairings: [[CrackPairing Ulquiorra/Neliel, Grimmjow/Soi Fon, Renji/Byakuya, Ukitake/Nemu]], and hints of ''Starrk/Yachiru''. Oh, and some Ichigo/Rukia, as well as the strong likelihood of some Hitsugaya/Rangiku in the future.

135* Recommended by: chairdesklamp
136* Synopsis: They are an intelligent, thought-provoking writer from Germany whose English is better than most people in America. Their fics usually involve queer themes, character development, relationship (not always romantic) issues, and always support healthy ones, and it works, avoids being [[Anvilicious]] even when the setting is a post-apocalyptic torture chamber. They are also excellent at world-building, having created in the yet-unfinished Ricochet, another world with its own mechanics unto it.
137* Warning: They tell the stories from a second person perspective, putting the reader in a character's shoes. The character may not be the same throughout. They also make extensive use of Unreliable Narrator, and in that, confused timeline. Somehow they keep all of this straight in a non-native language, but it can be hard to follow. Their works are best read with absolute concentration. Also bigots will probably find nothing enjoyable. They are also a good person, this troper befriended them after reading their work.

148* Synopsis: Ichigo stranded in a future of death and rubble, pushes forward. In doing so he is warped to a time long past where faces are familiar and strange all at once. Will the sorrow and anguish at seeing such life once again, overcome him?
149* Comments: Simply put, after everything Ichigo loves is destroyed, he finds himself in the past (before he was even born),eventually managing to change the future in huge ways. This is a fic that focuses a lot on Ichigo's suffering and on the relationships he forms with various other characters.Canon is decostructed and reconstructed time and time again, largely due to Ichigo's influence and future knowledge. Recommended to all fans of this type of fix-it fics, though truly unique even amongst them and with wonderful prose.

322* Synopsis: A small infant finds their way into a box that Rangiku Matsumoto brings to a captain's meeting containing new haoris and lieutenant armbands. One of the captains has to take care of her despite Yamamoto demanding the child be sent back where it came from. Hitsugaya is the unlucky winner and the series simply inserts OC Hitomi into the Bleach world.
323* Comments: Despite what one may think, Hitomi doesn't come across as a Mary Sue--far from it. She's helpless, has no formal training and is pretty much Hitsugaya's charity case, much to his chagrin ([[MeaningfulName hence the title]]). The series is quite comical for the most part, especially when Hitomi goes [[NakedPeopleAreFunny streaking]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext through Hueco Mundo]]. Hitomi just gets dragged along for the ride constantly, whether it's up to her or not. There is an overarching plot, but the comedy is where this fic is at. Shipping seems to be leaned towards Rangiku and Hitsugaya and possibly Hitomi and Shuhei once Hitomi is no longer a loli. Right now she's Yachiru's age.

The return of an old enemy and one-time ally puts the Seireitei on high alert, with far more sinister forces lurking in the shadows taking advantage of the chaos... "
428* Comments: The only problem is the liberal use of "harlot" and related words. He has created his own villains, and done perhaps a better job with both them and canon characters than professionally-done filler with theirs. He expands on what it means to be an Arrancar in converse to a Visard, mostly through Grimmjow. There is a bit of romance between Grimmjow and Ichigo, but as the story unfolds, it gets the least focus of any aspect in the story, hence the inclusion in General and not Shipping. He develops Grimmjow's friendships and battle relationships with characters like Orihime and Tessai at the perfect pace. Above all, this is a paranormal action drama.

486* Comment: An interesting premise, cywscross certainly delivers. Though there isn't much in the action department, the interactions between the characters--namely, Ichigo and the various zanpakutou spirits he runs into--are very interesting. The author's take on the appearance and personalities behind the zanpakutous are very intriguing, from Benihime's regal yet tsundere-ish attitude to Sougyo no Kotowari's cheerful twins. It also gets into a rather heartbreaking interpretation of the relationship between the visoreds and their inner hollows. [[spoiler: When they were put through the hollowfication process, their zanpakutou went through the same event. The zanpakutou became their inner hollows, and since visoreds control their power by beating and locking away their inner hollow, they basically locked away their zanpakutou's spirits.]]

The girl in quesiton, Kurosaki Karin, has a much higher level of Reiatsu than in canon, thanks to the Nail: [[spoiler: Grand Fisher killed her at their mother's graveyard several months previously, and a half-Hollow Karin has been subsequently trained by the Vaizard]].
537* Comments: Despite being a blatant Shipping fic and having a fairly cliche title, "Secrets, Twists and Chaos" is a well-written, hilarious little story that manages to spin a whole new set of character interactions and bonds. The author manages to avoid an overpowered Karin even while giving her genuinely scary powers in keeping with [[NextTierPowerUp the Kurosaki family]]. Also manages a pretty good character exploration of Hitsugaya, who has no idea what he's gotten into, and realistic implications of the ensuing situation ([[spoiler: [[OutOfCharacter he not only]] [[CharacterDevelopment winds up covering up for the still-outlawed Vaizards]], [[FelonyMisdemeanor but sneaks off to the Human World]]]] [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu to visit!]]).

543* Synopsis: What if Kurosaki Ichigo was a lot more curious as a child? What if this led to him having an inquisitive mind? Just how much would this change the course of history? Let's find out, shall we?
544* Comments: The trope CrazyIsCool definitely comes into play. Ichigo is portrayed as very smart... but probably [[CrazyPrepared even]] [[CloudCuckooLander more]] [[RuleOfCool crazy]] than Urahara. His Zanpakuto--who doesn't seem to be Zangetsu--is almost as nuts. Their conversations remain the highlight of the fic. Because Ichigo has been training since before he met Rukia, he is much tougher than canon Ichigo at this point. The author wonderfully deals with this by putting it on "Hard Mode," which keeps Ichigo from getting too powerful too soon.
545** This troper rather enjoyed this story until chapter 11. The idea that not only can Ichigo [[spoiler: modify his Zanpkuto's form at will]] but also owns a car, a condo, and his own warehouse just reeks of being overpowered at age 15. However, this troper will also admit that Ichigo's insistence on calling Kon "Megatron" is rather amusing.
546** Thirded. This fanfic is extremely funny for (probably) most teenagers, at least. It had this troper rolling around in laughter, especially at Ichigo's conversations with [[spoiler:Shugoshin no Zangetsu]]. However, this hasn't been updated since 2012, so it's most likely dead.

Being a Quincy and flatsharing with a Vasto Lorde and a stalker shinigami sent on a mission to purify said hollow is not good for your health. Being forced to carry out said shinigami's duties is not fun, either. Having said Vasto Lorde attempt to use puppy-dog eyes to persuade you to keep an Adjuchas in your apartment... well, that's just plain disturbing. Features bipolar!hollow!Ichigo with a thing for candy, pyromaniac!spy!Uryuu with button-induced genocide mode, cats that are not, in fact, cats, a mod soul not named Kon, Chekhov's Gunmen, a whole lot of minor characters being more badass than they are in canon, black humour, quite a bit of misunderstanding, and no ridiculously overpowered substitute shinigami. At all.
553* Comments: An interesting take of an alternate path, in which Ichigo died with his mother and then attached himself to Ishida by chance, eventually becoming a Hollow. But, since it is Ichigo, he remains sane-ish and keeps up the friendship. Then Rukia is sent to investigate and all hell breaks loose. Very funny, especially since Ichigo is positively ''giddy'' at times. The Quincy Encyclopaedia and Omakes that shows up at the end sometimes are rather informative and funny. Essentially the original ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' but with Ishida Uryu as the main character. Notable for its very good dialogue, loyalty to character, and good humor.

What Yemi Hikari does is a {{Deconstruction}} of badfic tropes by posting the stories of badfic authors that she invented - yes, fake authors, their perverted visions of canon ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' characters, and their "original characters" collide in a truly enjoyable story. It's even more enjoyable for those who've been exposed to badfic tropes. The story starts off rather humorously, but gets more serious as it goes on.

566* Synopsis: Ichigo was a bit slow to pull Zangetsu out as his Inner World crumbled. The result ends up not quite as Urahara had intended.
567* Comments: Yes, Ichigo is an arrancar in this story. Once the group reaches Soul Society, things very quickly diverge from canon. Highlights include: [[spoiler: Soifon chewing out Yoruichi for not sharing critical information with the others; Ichigo, Uryuu and Kenpachi getting into a Hollow-slaying contest; and Orihime and Sado fighting Kenpachi instead of Ichigo.]]
568** And the sequel is already off to a good start--starting with a full on battle between Ichigo and [[spoiler: Kenpachi]].

582* Synopsis: Three men never find Rangiku. Because they never find Rangiku, she is never harmed. Because Rangiku is not hurt, Gin does not swear vengeance. Because Gin does not swear vengeance, he never joins Aizen. This is a tale how Gin's allegiances remain with the Gotei 13, and the consequences it produces, both good and bad.
583* Comments: Ever wonder what would happen if Rangiku didn't get hurt and Gin didn't set his mind on the goal of killing Aizen and instead, spends more time with Rangiku? Here in this fic, we actually see it in which Gin is still Gin but as CreepyGood guy and his relationship with Rangiku actually allows him to have more connection with others (which result in him and Rangiku [[spoiler: busted Rukia out of her jail]]). The butterfly effect, of course, is still appear and relationships between characters are altered according to it without them getting OOC and more of positive developments (like Hinamori recovered faster after Aizen's betrayal or [[spoiler: Sasakibe has the chance to show off his Bankai]]).

612* Synopsis: ''There is a principle in chaos theory that states that even a minute change in initial conditions can have a profound effect on the events that follow. Metaphorically, one might say instead that even a tiny drop in a pond may create wide ripples. Ichigo Kurosaki’s untimely death at the tender age of nine means he can’t receive Rukia Kuchiki’s shinigami powers, or stop her execution, or defeat Sōsuke Aizen in battle. But it doesn’t mean that she’ll never find herself in need of help, or that the Central 46 won’t condemn her to death, or that Aizen will never try to kill the Soul King. Fate, after all, finds a way. It all begins in Karakura, with a disgruntled Quincy, an eccentric shop owner, and a talking cat.''

765* Synopsis: Isshin Kurosaki died years ago, and Ichigo has been living with his mother ever since. Life seems normal for him, until one day, he meets Rukia and is thrown into the spiritual world. Under the tutelage of a very shady shopkeeper, Ichigo becomes a shinigami. But things are not as simple as they initially seem...
766* Comments: This is seriously a well-written story, and it's great to see two different authors working together so well on something as big as a rewrite. Ichigo's character development is arguably better than canon's, and ''Uryu'' even gets an upgrade in the story; he's a lot more essential to the plot than before. Seriously, you would do yourself a favour reading this, especially if you're sick of ''Bleach'' at this point.
767** Seconded. Characterization is amazing, actions of characters believable and although the summary can be a bit off-putting to those that do love and enjoy ''Bleach'', this story is definitely worth a read.
768** Thirded. One thing this author does very well is write the characters as heroic, brave and strong people, but still people. As was said above, all of the main cast has fairly similar power levels to match their experience, so no one is a base breaker for the group, and everyone does their fair share of fighting.The characters sometimes lose, and when they screw up they face repercussions for their actions. For example, Orihime is a badass not because she's overpowered but because she's one of the wisest and most combat pragmatic characters. Also, there's a lot more of the characters thinking through their plans, and people make different decisions their cannon counterparts made in order to avoid unnecessary risks.

818* Recommended by: [=Gemini24=]
819* Status: Complete
820* Synopsis: Isshin suffers horrible loss and, years later, after a tragic accident threatens to take away the last thing that holds him together, he searches for a way to save his only child. Driven by a father's need, he finds himself going to great and desperate lengths in his efforts. A donor is created, something he hopes will be able to save Ichigo, but even an artificial life is hard to end when it becomes self-aware. No Pairings.

824* Recommended by: Dellanotte
825* Status: Complete
826* Synopsis: It seemed almost inevitable, and looking back, maybe it was. When a sudden wave of Hollows attacks Karakura Town, Yuzu and Karin's lives change forever. The two of them must now get through the Shinigami Academy, and all it entails.
827* Notes: Has two sequels, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8222340/1/ Chasing the Moon]]'' (complete) and ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10646815/1/ To Each Ending, a Beginning]]'' (dormant).
828* Comments: Possibly the most authentic look of "What would happen if the post-Aizen Kurosaki Family ([[AlternateUniverse this thing started before Yhwach showed up in canon, and save for a few oblique references, has ignored the Vandenreich.]]) actually moved to Soul Society." ''Phases'' follows both the girls (not just Karin) through their time at Shino in a SliceOfLife style, and ''Chasing'' {{Time Skip}}s to their lives as higher-ranked Shinigami in a more traditional Shoujo/Shonen plot. The characters grow organically, with wonderful prose and a solid blend of romance and world-building. Plus, [=Elle917=] actually updates regularly.

832* Recommended by: [=LastationLover5000=]
833* Status: Dormant (last updated May 2017)
834* Synopsis: The Battle between Rukia Kuchiki and Aaroniero Arruruerie, reach the ultimate climax. Due to the overwhelming power gap between Shinigami and Hollow, the young beloved Kuchiki becomes a victim to Aaroniero's cruel gluttonous maw. With no one to know of her demise, Aaroniero moves among allies and enemies alike, aiming to continue his rampage without ceasing or halt!
835* Comment: A freshly introduced fanfiction that embraces the possibility of Aaroniero using Metastacia's ability to invade Rukia Kuchiki's body, taking over the woman and using her body to enact his (now her) own plans. A unique story that focuses on Aaroniero instead of the standard main protagonists, I think the story has as much potential as Kubo claimed Aaroniero had.

865* Synopsis: How different would Bleach be if Shiro Kurosaki was the protagonist, and Ichigo his zanpakuto? With a violent and borderline bipolar substitute shinigami and a stubborn zanpakuto sporting a hero complex unmatched- Soul Society is in for a shock.

869''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4833918/1/ Meifu's Gate: Second Manuscript]]'' by [=VraieEsprit=]
870* Recommended by: [=GrumpyPeanut=]
871* Status: Complete
872* Synopsis: Meifu tells the story of Juushirou and Shunsui, from the time of their birth through to the end of their education at Yamamoto Genryuusai's Spirit Academy. Coming from polar opposite positions in Seireitei society, they not only have to navigate new friendships and ulterior motives, but a strict education and the occasional life-threatening conspiracy coming out of one or other of Seireitei's Great Noble Clans.
873* Comments: A political intrigue-filled mystery/adventure set 2000 years before canon. There are OC's, as the setting implies, the only canon Bleach characters being Kyouraku, Ukitake, Genryuusai and Unohana, but the impressively large cast of original characters is incredibly well fleshed out, multi-dimensional and often heading interesting plotlines of their own. This story and its sequels read much like an elaborate low-to-high fantasy novel series, with intricate plots and sub-plots woven into a detailed interpretation of ancient Soul Society that's both based on canon and builds on it to turn it into something so vivid that it could probably be read as a standalone by someone who's never seen Bleach without losing anything.

878* Status: Ongoing
879* Synopsis: A reimagining of Kubo-sama's Shōnen epic, serving to improve the series' pace, provide better character development and a more cohesive plot, and feature some unique, spectacular battle scenes.
880* Comments: Provides an alternative take on the way the plot moves while still mostly remaining faithful to the original source material. It expands on world building and also gives a lot of characters, both major and supporting, a better chance to shine, including the female characters. While originally starting out as an outline that explains the changes made, it becomes more novelistic with each passing chapter, with only a few things written as an outline to demonstrate the changes.

1295* Recommended by: @/{{Sheliak}}
1296* Status: Dead
1297* Synopsis: Focuses on a romance between Renji and Rukia following the events of the Soul Society arc (and ignoring all events thereafter, as well as the whole issue of Aizen). A Renji/Rukia love story and that doesn't shortchange either of their relationships to Byakuya, with a side of politics.
1298* Pairing: Renji/Rukia
1299* Comments: The romance is sweet and true to the characters, and the career path the fic suggests for Rukia is original and believable. While very much a shipping story, this fic also addresses the destruction of Soul Society's government and the need to reestablish it, and the need for (drastic) legal reforms (as Rukia points out, the Research Institute in its current form is a very bad thing). Also, details from historical Japan are used to flesh out Soul Society's culture, particularly customs about noble rank and marriage. If the arc remains unfinished, the Renji/Rukia love story is at a good stopping point, but a subplot regarding Gotei 13 politics remains unresolved.

1331* Synopsis: ''Though Endless Sands'' is a '''dark''', somewhat AU, somewhat narration, and ''very subtle'' story from Ulquiorra's view point after the kidnapping of Orihime. It focuses around their conversations, but more about Orihime speaking to her dead brother [[spoiler: and later friends]]. ''The Load We Bear'' is the opposite and tells it from Orihime's point (though it stays third-person). It tells more of the two's interactions, and sticks to the anime(save for time).
1332* Pairing: Ulquiorra/Orihime
1333* Comments: Unlike most pairing fics on here/there, this doesn't so much as slap you in the face with it, but taunts you. I love the writing, and I love reading it in silence. It's worth a read, and some of the other stories [=GeoFount=] made were pretty good.

1466* Comments: This fic is excellent, and does a good job of altering canon while maintaining the feel of it, and really addresses some of the facts that tend to get swept under the carpet in this canon in terms of shipping various characters. Everyone is treated with a fairly respectful portrayal, in terms of romance and everything else, especially Orihime, who gets a chance to shine while maintaining that slightly ditzy sweetness that is so much a part of her character.

1519* Comments: A historical-AU that manages to balance both horror and romance, and offers a unique setting in the Carpathian Mountains of Hungary. The romance between Ichigo and Orihime is very believable, and it offers an intriguing plot much like a gothic romance story. Everyone is portrayed quite well, even the more villainous characters, and we still see some of their canon traits that make them loveable and recognizable. While it is rather dark and a bit violent at times, it ends well for everyone, and is very much recommended.

1560* Status: Dormant
1561* Synopsis: Finding out about the concept of eugenics gives Mayuri the idea to artificially create superior shinigami from the 'spiritual DNA' of six captains, one Shiba, and one unfortunate dead Quincy, without the knowledge or consent of anyone. He gets as far as producing four still developing prototypes before he comes perilously close to being caught and so has to cover his tracks. Having planned and prepared for this possibility, the four prototypes are sent off to be incarnated in the Living World, where their further devolopment can be monitored and the experiment continued rather than simply terminating them. Fifteen years later the truth is revealed, plans get ruined, and things get complicated.
1562* Comments: An interesting idea that is well executed. There's a couple of minor plot holes and a lot of POV changes which needs some getting used to, but on the whole it is fairly well written and the author does a good job of showing the ways in which the situation has screwed things up for people and the massive amount of awkwardness that ensues when the truth comes out.

Separated from the life she once knew as a Stern Ritter in the employ of the Vandenreich, she will now have to find her place in the kingdom of Fiore. However, what the volatile Quincy never expected was to discover her salvation within the guild known as Fairy Tail.
1577* Comments: Starts in the ''Fairy Tail'' timeline sometime after the Daybreak arc and moves up to canon. Some things change, some things stays the same. The story was originally created to [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter explore and build upon the potential]] the Sternritter Bambietta Basterbine had, but the story doesn't follow the formula of having her overpower the cast, but rather being forced to grow and change alongside the Fairy Tail cast as she struggles to accept the ideals of the guild onto her own, as well as move on from her DarkAndTroubledPast.

1770* Comments: The story isn't bad at first, but the Bleach characters quickly fall into Mary Sue territory, particularly Ichigo and his mother, and it only gets worse as it goes on. It's quite sad, as the story is otherwise good. To give an example, Ichigo's mother is inserted into the same year as Harry's parents, with heavy amounts of RememberTheNewGuy, in addition to apparently being obscenely wealthy, the heir/a descendant to all four founders, the smartest witch in her generation, a metamorphmagus, and had a close relationship with everyone in the Potter cast. Due to being his mother's son, Ichigo inherits them all.
1771* [=ThisIsRidiculous=]: At first, I could tolerate the Mary Sue because canon work of Bleach had the same problem, but not to to this degree. It's bad. Being a Mary Sue has become everyone's characterization.

1956* Comments: This takes place after Ichigo, Master of Chaldea, gets back home post-FGO. As such, instead of an actual 15-year-old with no genuine battle experience, the Ichigo that takes the mantle of Shinigami is a good few years older with many, ''many'' actual battles under his belt. His story in Chaldea is told through flashback snippets, and his interactions with the Servants are a delight.

1963* Synopsis: After the Zero Requiem, Lelouch goes to the Rukongai. There he meets Gin and Rangiku, and shortly decides to become a soul reaper. The story follows Lelouch as he becomes a soul reaper and rises through the ranks.
1964* Comments: The author tends to update fairly regularly, and does so in chunks of two to three chapters in quick succession. Well paced and a great read. Unlike most Bleach crossover fics this troper has read, the main character doesn't gain power absurdly quickly and become captain level within a couple decades. Any OC's are well done and manage to not take over the story. This troper teared up when Lelouch [[spoiler: read Homura's diary after she died avenging their captain.]] Lelouch proves to continue to be the [[MagnificentBastard Lel]][[JerkWithAHeartOfGold ouch]] we all know and love, particularly when he [[spoiler: finds out Mayuri has been torturing/experimenting on Nemu and geasses him to never harm her again.]]

1971* Synopsis: When Ruby Rose went to Beacon Academy two years early, she had assumed she was going to be the odd one out. Her sister, the Ice Queen Heiress and the mysterious dark-haired girl aside. What she didn't expect, what none of them expected, was that an even more mysterious teenager would join them. One with a power no other Hunter or Huntress has...and one that just may turn the tide..
1972* Comments: This is an AU version of Ichigo who moved to Remnant with his family as a child. As a result, he was trained solely by Isshin and there was no secrecy about his lineage, meaning he has access to his Shinigami, Hollow, and Quincy powers at the start. Despite this, the author works to make sure Ichigo is not overpowered and everybody contributes.

1987* Comments: A Stargate crossover which has a very AU take on Soul Society but manages to say surprisingly close to canon events. The colony is basically Soul Society, just firmly in the land of the living and as for the creatures of energy, well I won't spoil it for you. Contains a number of plot twists that are semi-inspired by hints dropped in Bleach canon.

This is the story of a boy trying to find his place in the world, and the girl who stitches the pieces back together.

2050* Status: Dormant; last updated May 2018
2051* Crossover with: ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''
2052* Synopsis: After Ichigo defeated Grimmjow, he was attacked and beaten by Nnoitra Gilga. Severely wounded and drained, he is thrown into a Caja Negación and through events beyond his comprehension, he is transported to Azeroth. Stuck on an unknown world with even stranger beings he must find a way to return home and save his friends before it is to late. But can he leave this world to its turmoil?
2053* Comments: A pretty interesting fic. Ichigo gets tossed into Azeroth at around the beginning of Vanilla ''World of Warcraft'' and starts making a mess of things by getting involved in a whole lot of important questlines. The overall plot is intriguing, the fights are well-written, and the OCs actually manage to be likable. One of the most notable things the fic does is nerf Ichigo by restricting him from leaving his body to become a Shinigami due to the spiritual differences between Earth and Azeroth, so he isn't casually [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping]] everything he goes up against but is by no means powerless. It also takes the fact that Ichigo is by all rights a PhysicalGod due to being a powerful [[{{Psychopomp}} Shinigami]] and explores how others would view him if they knew this. One of the only notable criticisms to the fic I have is the author's writing style, which is slightly unorthodox at its best and downright uncomfortable at its worst. But if you can look past that, then it's well worth a look.
2054** Not recommended. Ichigo ended up a AdaptationalWimp where he's reluctant to kill orcs and calls the people of The Alliances "irrational" for hating the Dark Horde because they are not the same Horde that kills their loved ones, even though its members are consisting of the previous Horde's.
2055--->" it's the equivalent of if the Germans named their capital post [=WW2=] in honor of Hitler and continued to call their office Nazis while also still killing jewish people. They have no shown any changes and have gone out of their way to say they are at no fault because "those other horde? Yeah wasn't us so you can't make us take responsibility for the first and second wars"."

2078* Synopsis: A Sekirei crossover. Ever go left when you normally go right? Here's one such case, causing a meeting that would not have happened otherwise and whose repercussions will cause many plans to go awry. Here, Ichigo meets Uzume, she makes him wing her, and from there on Ichigo's life changes slowly. Leading a life with a person who claims to be your soul mate can be stressful, in a manner enticing for most people. But Ichigo isn't like most people. The sekirei plan has started -- will Ichigo prevail over it?
2079* Comments: This crossover is quite beautifully thought out and written. The only problem is that the authors post chapters a few months apart, but I can honestly say they are worth the wait. This fic diverges two years after the final battle with Aizen. With Ichigo powerless as well as he and the human crew about to enter college.
