Kaien also conviently provided what she doesn't have from Byakuya. I don't deny that there might be a small crush, only that it is a lot more complicated than unrequited romantic attraction for Kaien alone All of this. IAWTC. If Rukia had graduated five years later and joined the 13th division without the adoption and her friendship with Renji in tact, Kaien/Rukia would be a complete non-entity. It's pretty much a product of the situation, and I'm sure their death (particularly Kaien's, at her own hand no less) plays a large part in the hero worship that is clearly there for both.
I'm glad my fic hit the right notes on that account. I may squee over this pairing but outside of an AU, I can't write any situation where the two skip off into the sunset. This (http://community.livejournal.com/herdedcats/4651.html) is the only canon setting fic I've seen where the romance between them works, because through it all, he's first and foremost her friend.
The Byakuya/Yuzu one makes me giggle because of the irony. XD Took someone long enough to notice it! :P
...that inspired another idea I've been dying to write. BRB.
Heeeeeeey, I can still fill six more requests, if you want me to write a pair/character for NANA (I really want to write for Ai Yazawa!verse, because there needs to be more fanfic for it!)
