Hmmm... I think it's beyond question that Tatsuki and Tesra are head over heals in love with each other. I know Tesra is shy but now that he is spending so much time with Tatsuki, especially after catching that part of the conversation, I'd love to see him become a little more playful with her ... Just as a 'between them' special type thing since she does know how shy he is (get him to 'relax and let his hair down' for a change).
The lesson with Ajuga and Hana was cute, I can maybe see Lily-chan joining in every so often to give the kids practice with a more experienced opponent or to let them each watch the other when practicing new moves ... It would also give either Karen or Grimmjow the chance to halt a match at a prearranged point (say after the attack but before the next part of the sequence) in order to analyze the hold, positioning, etc and make adjustments as needed ... then starting over again (Lily-chan would probably love the chance to do that and because of her more advanced experience she'd also be more in control in most instances if Karin and Grimmjow let her know that they need to do step by step training of some particular moves ... and neither of the younger girls has the experience or knowledge to allow them to stop part way through the sequence ... They know two or three moves well enough to do them individually but the transition from one to the other in combination isn't going so well...). Besides it would get all the hyper girls involved and give Starrk a much needed chance to sleep in peace (lol).
Two more munchkins huh? It's probably more than I can hope for to cross my fingers and chant 'mamas Tatsuki and Rangeku' over and over ... Tatsuki has made it clear she wants to hold off for a while and has even gone to the point of asking him to use protection, though accidents do happen like seepage or breakage on occasion and if the timing is right ... well ... hello baby. Now that Nnoitra has discovered that giving Rangeku 'little freedoms' and not caving her in so much has added ... ahem ... benefits on a more personal level and she is reputed to thoroughly enjoy partaking of those same benefits when she's not feeling oppressed; well let's just say those two might be getting far more frisky because she's happier ~ who knows, he might come home on occasion and discover that dinner isn't even started because she had 'other plans' in mind in place of dinner or at least as an appetizer before settling for something on the lighter side foodwise. Say she meets him at the door in just her loose houri, takes him up to a relaxing warm bath ~ including her to help scrub his back and hair ~ I'm sure more can go on ... then a nice massage with warm oil ~ and other uses for the oil ~ then retiring to the bedroom to nibble on some fruit, cheese, and maybe a little bread as well as each other along with a nice bottle or two of wine. He'd probably forget completely about dinner until lunch the next day. Of course the third option since most of the other females are not currently active and Aisen or Unahanna have a fertility issue, is Nemu (my least favorite that I can think of ~ though I suppose the rarely mentioned Haribel is an option too). Nemu does seem to initiate it with Szayel often enough and while I'd love to see Szayel with his own little bundle of joy I just can't see Nemu as a mama. She just strikes me as the type to 'pop the baby out' then hand it to Szayel and say something like "here is the next test subject sir" then turn around and walk away as if handing him a test tube or report. (Just from her canon appearances I'd think Haribel would limit actual activity with Hitsugya to a minimum so that combination is not so likely).
Another arrancar with six good points? Well, Starrk (cute, strong, laid-back, given to being into cuddling since it takes less energy than going all the way, loyal, protective ~ he is canine afterall ~ and wolves are known to be doting parents ... So I think that's actually seven)
Shinigami? Byakuya (gorgeous ~especially if you can get him to literally let his hair down, calm ~ ok I go for the relatively stoic type, polite, strong, a voice that's commanding and could charm the Sakura into blossoming at the same time, gentle when appropriate and firm when necessary, honorable, excellent taste ...)
Hope to see more Rangeku and Nnoitra soon as well as more Szayel (though I'm perfectly happy if Nemu minimizes her appearances).

As for expensive weddings and dresses. Talk to your priest, reverend, rabbi, whatever and explain you want a minimum size, no frills wedding with as little fuss as possible, can he/she announce it the service AFTER it takes place (congratulate our newly marrieds so-and-so), and see if he/she knows someone who can be discrete to take a few pictures or tape the ceremony. Figure out howmuch he/she charges and when the church would be available for a short time during the week. Get a couple witnesses (think two are required ~ tell two friends you are going some place special for dinner but need to make a pit-stop first that you need them there for) ... get any required tests, licenses, papers in order ... Wear a somewhat dressy outfit that you are comfortable in (like you'd wear to a nice/fancy restaurant), have some flowers you got at the local grocery trimmed short and tied with a ribbon (the traditional LITTLE bouquet), pay the clergy fees and add a small extra donation to the church while you drag your stunned friends inside, have the simple ceremony, celebrate by taking your mind-blown and still in a daze friends out to one of the nicer restaurants in town then head off for the weekend. The parents will get over it or you can tell them you'll have a second 'for show' wedding but that they will have to foot the whole bill and it is your choice of dress.
Just a suggestion, but that way it's cheaper and you can make the families happy in a more leisurely timeline. (kind of a cross between eloping and an informal wedding ~ it ain't being done by the JP).

Good chapter.
FYI, to get legally married you don't need a ceremony at all, you just have to do some paper work. I have heard stories were people simply walked in and out of the courthouse in less then a day. On top of that married people have tax cuts! But anyway, its your life and you have a right to live it like you want to.

I love your story.
Marriage isn't expensive over done weddings are. And now a days there are no rules about weddings, which aren't as important as the marriage anyway.

Listen I once witnessed (not as an actual legal witness) a wedding where the couple was dirt poor but very much in love. They just got married in a park wearing their regular cloths with the priest from their church marring them off. They couldn't even afford wedding rings yet they got married so they could get their license for the tax break benefits and so they could enjoy their special occasion with their friends and have cake afterward. I suspect that this may have been a shotgun wedding but even if you are better off than the people I mentioned you still have to consider all the expenses children cost and the marriage benefits that will help you pay for them.

This chapter was interesting, but what I really loved was the cuddling between Matsumoto and Nnoitra (and his sword LOL)
I thought Unohana wasn’t able to conceive because of Gin’s special tea … So there is another reason, hm? Still Aizen is an ass!
I guessed the moment he finds out about Karin’s bloodline is veeerrryy far, but I have this strange feeling in my gut … what if he gets an insane idea like conceiving with Karin .. or worse with her daughter.
Answer: I guess it would have to … hmmm … have ears, definitely ears, and red eyes or yellow (cannot decide) but apart from that, nothing special.

I'm new. I just found your story a couple days ago. (it amazes me that there's a story on here thats this long.) First off, Despite the more squicktastic aspects (GODS, HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO BYAKUYA?!?!I mean he's an ass, sure, but STILL!!!) you weave a FANTASTIC tale. I absolutely love this story. There are a handful of gramatical errors throughout, but i can over look that due to your fantastic story telling, realistic and IC characters, and solid plot.
That said: ULQUIORRA AND ORIHIME NEED TO HAVE A BOY!!! They just have to. I love Grimmjow to death (he's my alltime favorite character in the series, and the GrimmKarin stories are a guilty pleasure of mine given i usually ship GrimmNel), but he's been crowing about one upping Ulqui since the beginning and this gives Ulqui a chance to one up him. It just has to be done.
I love your fic. Please update soon.

happy scenes of everyone getting their zanpakto back were moving. still, poor renji. i really hope over time he's able to recover. w/all the kido tricks & gizmo's & probably old research laying around from mayuri's days, plus knowledge from the zanpakto's & maybe ori's reversing capability (say if there was a saved fragment of zanpakto kept for analysis by mayuri), i'd think some combination of methods from all the multiple sources could help (its fiction, there's no limits except those set by your own imagination). not saying have him back to normal after sustaining prolonged damage, but get his personality back, lets say, minus memory for last 9 yrs (they are at 8 yrs in storyline, right?). as dark & tragic as fic gets at times, him getting better thx to cooperation from many sources (esp if it included szayzel who's considered 'bad') would certainly be an uplifting scene. just wishful thinking. can't wait for ori's batbaby. but first gotta get some preggers ori getting lots of attention from increasingly neurotic batman. & creepy attention from aizen, like karin did. sad to know there's soon more of aizen's sadism & i imagine more bug-related chaos to come. til next chap.
