Sariniste takes Bleach's most interesting and rich cast members and, through altogether new events and crises, maintains their authenticity under somewhat alien circumstances. Knowing when and how a character should/does act, react, behave, etc' is the authors amazingly, canon-like skill.
The story is loaded with deep themes on personal identity, decisions and desires and the choices made along the way. There is no "cheating" by actions being forced to emphasize or allow the tale to reach key points. The framework of the world(s) and moreover the identities of the players is as Kubo has drawn for us since Bleach started. I find this key to the success of true 'fanfic' as anyone can re-write characters to accommodate their 'world'. The reader should, and does here, see authentic Aizen in Sariniste's compiled story.
This story is loaded with action, tension, emotion and I found virtually impossible to not read in one-go!
FanficRecs Character driven, wonderfully spun tale
