[Bleach] Fragrant Snow for Ten Miles

The sentimental, tearjerker version: I'm not afraid of the dark, because I can hear your voice. I don't mind the cold, because I have your warmth. Every time I fall asleep exhausted, I wake from a midnight nightmare crying in despair, only to look forward to the next nightmare, because you're in it. I spend every moment of my life searching for you, and even death can't stop me from missing you. I only want to see you one more time, just to say softly, "I love you, and thank you." The short, gossipy version: Lord Sōsuke Aizen, King of the Void, and his journey to win the heart of the woman he loves. * * * * * * * After discussing it with my editor, this story will be going premium on April 6, 2009. If you reposted it before then, please take it down to avoid unnecessary disputes. Thank you all for your continued support of a certain Phoenix. I hope to keep improving from here on. For details, please see "Announcements." Since I've been writing this for so long, I've realized there are problems with how the earlier and later plotlines connect, so I'm revising the story from the beginning.
