owned_by_a_catSeries: Bleach AU
Genre: Drama/Romance/Humor
Rating: Mature (eventually)
Pairing: Shuuhei/Kensei
Warnings: Anything you'd expect from a mature-rated yaoi fic. A bit of law breaking and bending. Aaaaand, Shuu pretending to be underage when we all know he isn't.
Author's Note: Side story to Prospects. Seeing what l'm doing to Renji and Byakuya, Shuuhei wanted to have his own story. Since he never really gets enough love as far as I'm concerned, I'm very happy to oblige. Set in London, England. All cock-ups, errors and misrepresentions are mine. And obviously, Bleach isn't. It wouldn't work if it were.
Summary:
How looking for something new to do can get you what you always wanted.
Enjoy!

Location and Food References (for the ultra-curious):
London and The Strand are real. The Victorian monstrosity housing the headquarters of Kuchiki Industries, though, is my invention. I've shoehorned it in opposite Somerset House, where I thought it would fit, but really has no place to be. Apologies all round.
The Met, or Metropolitan Police, is London's police force.
The Ten Deadly Sins is the ultimate English breakfast as served at Simpson's-in-the-Strand, London, England. It includes: Cumberland sausage, streaky and back bacon, Stornoway black pudding, fried mushrooms, baked tomatoes, eggs (fried, poached or scrambled), liver, fried bread, bubble and squeak and baked beans and is served with toast, pastries, freshly brewed coffee or tea, a choice of cereal , porridge or half a grapefruit, and orange, apple or grapefruit juice.
You need to be seriously hungry after a job interview, training for the Tour de France or planning on not eating for the next three days to attempt this sumptuous feast.
A Barnsley Chop, also called a double-sided or butterfly chop, is a lamb chop taken from right across the loin. At Simpson's-in-the-Strand it is served with devilled kidneys, a famous English brunch dish, that's supremely tasty and very easy to make. Here's a recipe, if you'd like to try.
