grimmnel fanfiction

- You’re dear to me, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez. Not just as precios member of Espada…

I often mention my hopes for Hell arc GrimmNell and actually… Today I want to share some personal delusions about it. 

Sure! I appreciate every fic on Ao3, but I have a few favourites to reread from time to time!

I'm so in love with all the works by Radiocandy, especially "Aspect Ratio", as it tells the long-term story of grimmnel since they met after The Winter war and how they became partners and close ones as well. https://archiveofourown.org/works/30712439/chapters/75791135

Rewind, Facets of life by megamac1296

The first one was perhaps the most influential in my understanding of grimmnel. I mean their closeness in the past and Grimmjow's depression after Nelliel was exiled. And the fact that he never forgot her. Mmm, perfect angst. The second is about their difference and how difficult it is for them to accept each other for who they are. https://archiveofourown.org/works/15401301

Before She Disappeared, The Scar by cathgotyourtongue

Again, the closeness of Grimmjow and Nelliel in the past. Anxious anticipation of inevitable disaster makes things! The second one is so sensual! Nelliel violates Grimmjow's personal boundaries, helping him deal with guilt over a fatal mistake made in the past.

A love story in three acts by MarshmallowBirb

Here too a parenthood topic, attitude of both characters to the prospect of having children in the future and being called a couple in general. Behind the outward rudeness of Grimmjow lies a fragile soul!

Hey, Odelschwanck! What 'bout lunch together?

Grimmjow had his eye on Nelliel those past times when he didn't belong to Espada, while she was too cool to waste her precious time chatting with him on an equal footing. (She's always like that, though.) So he bet his fraccions that he wasn't a scaredy cat and would invite her for lunch. btw, D-Roy lost. and Nelliel accepted the offer

No matter what, I got your back I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that No matter what until the bitter end

We're gonna be the last ones standing

papa roach - no matter what

Well, why do I ship GrimmNell? If someone asked me this question 10 years ago I would simply say - well, they both are hot and look aesthetically pleasant together. A valid argument, isn’t it? But like every shipper deep inside I was craving for more - trying to find any crumbs to cross “just a crack-ship” territory. It wasn’t easy. It still isn’t actually - even though the last years of Bleach era blessed us with some interesting interactions. That’s why I decided to write this meta - let’s see what changed and highlight the best of GrimmNell's dynamic. 

Manga

Arrancar Arc

Like I said - being a GrimmNell shipper before 2015 was pretty rough. They literally had only one small interaction and oh well… Grimmjow was a typical Grimmjow and Nel was in her child-form. But bold of you to assume that this short manga moment wasn’t overanalyzed either.
