#orihime.

an almost sickeningly sweet request; innocent as well. gauging whether it had been harmless or not however remained to be seen. but an expectant and hopeful look seemed to obliterate any initial resistance. cursing beneath his breath, it had been a foot that offered itself up solely to the ginger.

the biggest thing that i've removed from my canon is the endgame ship. while i do acknowledge orihime's feelings regarding ichigo early on in the series, as personally for me it's one of my favorite portrayals of unrequited love, i am content with it being just that and am not interested in writing it as a ship. moving forward writing with any ichigo, i will write her as having moved past those feelings and viewing ichigo as one of her best friends. please do not ask me to make exceptions on this.

that being said, kazui doesn't exist in my canon.

after the events of tybw, orihime attends art school and majors in papermaking and bookbinding. she also later takes courses that help her to receive a degree in order to become a high school counselor, helping students deal with life changes, grief, etc.
