Soul Swap is a Naruto/Bleach fusion on AO3, where Ichigo has reincarnated as Kakashi after dying during the Heuco Mundo expedition to rescue Orihime. Bleach elements are somewhat sparse as minimal setting changes have been made aside from fitting the cosmology together, though since he regains his past life memories at five, things do shortly start heading off the rails. I'm not really familiar enough with Bleach to comment on Ichi-shi's characterization, but he at least seems to be recognizable from what I do know. The cosmology as explored is at least vaguely plausible as either a different Mortal World and afterlife normally separate from where the Bleach powers usually operate in, or (if it took a long time for 15 to be reborn as 14) something that a victorious Aizen might have set up as an at least nominally better system if you buy the Naruto setting being several hundred to a couple thousand years post-apocalypse from the modern world.
It does unfortunately seem to have suffered the fate of many fics tat try to move away from canon territory in bogging down to months between updates and trailing off now a year and a half ago, but what is there is fun enough, and has a few beats I genuinely hadn't seen before in Naruto fic, and some more that are just somewhat rare. (Uchiha Fugaku as straight-man comedy relief!? Madness!) You could say that it ends on a cliffhanger, or alternately on the critical walk-on and one liner that turns the suspense of the last scenes into the context for a forgone conclusion, depending on how and how deeply you want to look at it. It's nothing earth shaking, but a better option than picking something at random from the Pit of Voles, watching the lettuce in your sandwich wilt, or counting turns on a fidget spinner, if you don't have anything more intriguing en queue.
