Whoops All Spirits

by Caboshone

Zangetsu and the Old Man are both sick of this. Ichigo is the most oblivious idiot on the planet. Anyone (read: everyone he knows) can see he's into Grimmjow, except the Arrancar himself, and an awkward misunderstanding stemming from cultural (read: weird hollow) differences is going to absolutely wreck any chance Ichigo ever has to get what (or who) he truly wants. So his Zanpakuto spirits resolve to step in and fix it, they're just, well... Kind of batshit insane about it.orIchigo and his Zanpakuto spirits swap places due to a harebrained scheme to get him and Grimmjow together by Christmas.

Zangetsu's Instinct

by theshittymarimo (Asko)

When Muramasa pulled out Zangetsu out of Ichigo, fear gripped him, expecting to see the familiar old man before him. However, upon opening his eyes, he first saw white. Instead of the usual black coat, there was a white shihakusho. Ichigo blinked, his gaze shifting upwards until he saw the white face, eerily similar to his own."W-what?" Ichigo blinked in confusion. "What is he doing here?!"(This is the longer story, including the fight.)
