Clown (fanfic)

Clown, written by Alex Mcmullen, is an Alternate Universe fic in which the characters of Bleach are just regular people living in a small town terrorized by a vicious psychopathic murderer nicknamed Clown. After a nightmarish stand-off many years ago Clown was supposedly taken down by rookie cop Ichigo Kurosaki, but years later the grisly remains are once again reappearing and a fresh body count is rising.

Still traumatised from the past encounter Ichigo swore never to work in homicide again, but when the victims turn out to be his closest friends he is forced to hunt down the crazed killer with the help of his co-workers Renji and Rukia.

What follows is a nightmarish journey packed full of Gorn and enough nightmare fuel to fill a tanker.
