Series:   Bleach AU
Genre:   Drama/Romance/Humor
Rating:   Mature (eventually)
Pairing: Byakuya/Renji - with supporting cast of Shuuhei/Kensei and Yoruichi/Kisuke if I'm brave enough

Author's Note:  This chapter's been a while in coming. Admittedly, I've been distracted by Shuuhei & Kensei (severely distracted, really!), but I've also been doing battle with Byakuya, who is pulling more than one disappearing act.  I'm very grateful to ichibanseiken, without whom the mining tycoon would be even more elusive than he already is. I can't say how much I appreciate your help!

Author's Note:  First and foremost, thanks to the intrepid, endlessly helpful, ichibanseiken, who took time out from finishing her own story to help keep me on track once again.  Hope I managed to sort out the bits that made little sense.
And so the story continues...

Chapter 4: Fine Line

( The apple described a blurry arc in the air. )

Found this on FB... and immediately thought of Renji and Byakuya in Prospects. 
Whose line is it, anyway?

Author's Note: My first attempt at a multi-chapter Bleach AU.  Set in an undisclosed location rich in exploitable mineral deposits. And in England.  Featuring some of my favourite Bleach characters, especially a certain redhead and two brunets. My first attempt at Yaoi, too, so not sure how explicit it will get... ;-)
The amazing ichibanseiken is holding my hand on this journey and I'm very grateful.  That said, all cock-ups, errors and misrepresentions are still mine.  And obviously, Bleach isn't. It wouldn't work if it were.

Summary:
Renji's a geologist, spending his days hunting for mineral deposits.  Byakuya runs a mining and refining company.  And somewhere in the mix is Aizen.. and the expected nefarious schemes.

Enjoy!
