Rain, Lavender, and Antiseptic

Isshin dies when Ichigo is fourteen. Forced to pick up the pieces and fight to care for his sisters in the aftermath, he finds allies in unlikely places and their recommendations force him to come to unexpected realizations about himself. Almost two years later, Rukia meets a very different Kurosaki Ichigo - for one thing, he's gender fluid and openly gay. ByaIchi, IchiHitsu.
