Borderline
Characters/Pairings: Rukia, Yuuko, Urahara, Renji, Hanatarou, Ichigo
Warnings: Um. Highlight for fic spoilers: Character death
Summary: Rukia gets her powers back, but pays too high a price.
Comments: Okay, I feel like a vaguely bad Rukia fan for reccing this, but damnit, it’s well-done, the concept is excellent, and it works. The author writes Rukia’s slow deterioration well, and the ending caught me by surprise. But damnit, I almost always hate fics like this, but it’s well-done enough that I feel almost obliged to rec it. Because I can appreciate the writing while bawling over what happened to Rukia. Because I’m kind of a Rukia fangirl, in case you hadn’t noticed.
One-shot, complete.
