for hope

Summary: Things fall into chaos soon enough, suddenly Qunicy aren't as extinct as they've been led to believe, Ichigo learns a startling truth about just who his zanpakutō spirit really is, and Gin is staring at him with newly dull icy blue eyes as the man lays dying once more. This time it is not a tearful Matsumoto that leans over him, but instead Ichigo himself, disbelief and repressed rage swirling within. GinIchi Day 2019. Time Travel AU.
