We work at the flower shop at the corner together but at night we make plans to overthrow the government

We live opposite to each other on the top floors of two apartment buildings and you were singing with your window open and I decided to join you

You just moved in next door and asked for some help with the boxes

You are a terrible flirt and an even worse barista but hey you’re kinda cute wanna hang out and be losers together?

I wanted to impress you with my vast knowledge of theater so I auditioned for Romeo and Juliet and OH MY GOD- we get the roles of Romeo and Juliet and now I have to kiss you and still pretend I don’t care about you

We are with our mutual friend at Starbucks and they order a unicorn frappuccino with three pumps of strawberry and extra whip but we’re not into that so we spontaneously looked at each other and sigh

You are looking through my search history and I swear to god I’m not pregnant and/or homicidal I’m a writer I swear

You were writing fanfiction in the library and I correct your spelling mistakes

“Stay.”

au where one of your characters owns a bakery and the other one is running away from their posh life because they’re gay karen and they don’t want to go through with the arranged marriage to the overly stuck up son/daughter of the CEO of the company that their rich daddy is trying to get a business deal with

au where both of your characters own rival bakeries and are constantly competing with each other by doing things like having seasonal sales, making new desserts that are “better” than the other’s, or putting up huge signs announcing their daily deals, basically trying to steal each other’s customers while also trying to sabotage the other, which only backfires on themselves.

Chaos with a heavy dose of romance ensues.

GinIchi Day ‘21

Running a quiet GinIchi Day this year. Owing to the general blurgh of 2021 + mod busyness, the usual behind-the-scenes work will be done quick, dirtily and with minimal discrimination. What to create? Any kind of story/art/video/poem focusing on the Gin x Ichigo relationship. Theme?

Laziness. 😴

Are Gin and Ichigo lounging on a beach somewhere? Does Gin need dragging to his job? Does Ichigo flop into bed and expect Gin to do all the work?

When?

Aug 12th as usual – the midpoint between the characters’ birthdays. Day-long event but we’ve never been strict, so the collection will be open for a few days.

“Gin, how do you feel about taking over the world?”

❄️

Re-read a couple of my favourite fics in this pairing and this happened. Never sure if you want to hear my thoughts, or just make your own storyline up.

For GinIchi WinterFest 2021 🍓🐍 ❄ 💙

GinIchi WinterFest ‘21

What is GinIchi WinterFest? And how can I participate?

It’s a week-long event open to everyone to create fanworks for the Gin x Ichigo pairing. Fics, art, everything’s allowed! \o/

When?

February 8th–15th.

It’s 6 months since GinIchi Day and overlaps with Japanese winter festivals! (You can even sneak in a cheeky Valentine’s Day piece)

The collection will stay open for a few days after, for any stragglers :)

Where?
