Summary
It’s a terrible, lovely thing that Zoro holds in his hands, Sanji’s red, red heart. And so Zoro counts each beat echoing across the space between them, his ears uniquely tuned to the sound, until it’s all he can hear. It’s the rhythm by which he measures his life, ever since the day he laid eyes on the cook of the floating restaurant in the East Blue. Beat by beat by beat.
And still, Sanji asks. He gave Zoro his heart in every way except the way Zoro wants the most, and still, he has to ask.
That night in Onigashima, Sanji trusted Zoro with his life. Or, maybe more accurately, his death. But then they leave Wano and Sanji’s still himself, so Zoro’s pretty sure that the promise he made will never come to pass.
Things change when Sanji’s emotions start to slip away.

Summary
Monkey D. Garp stood at the edge of Midway Forest, a rare hesitation halting his movements as he stared at the well worn forest pathway. It had been awhile since he’d come here, over two years if he remembered correctly.
In his right arm hung a sleeping child, belly up with lanky limbs swaying gently with each step. He was snoring loudly and obnoxiously, an oversized straw hat hanging from his neck. Littered across his small body were various bandages and bruises. Garp wore a small proud smile as his gaze fell upon him, worry creeping up on the edges. Got himself all tuckered out…

Summary
With Kaido's defeat, the people and country of Wano can breathe once more. A time to celebrate and rebuild and open up the borders of the closed off country!
The story line rings a bell to the Straw Hats but soon goes off course as they stay for a short time after the party, a wish made by Sanji to help the villages that need food for their starving people.
It’s when one of those convoy’s are attacked by a mysterious beast, and claims of cursed illnesses and fallen guardian deities arise, that they realize they might have bitten off more than they could chew.
And it all has something to do with Sanji feeding a little fox.

Post-Wano and still in Wano, mild spoilers up to chapter 1040, but also not really dealing with anything story related.

The path towards the sun, towards freedom, is not an easy path. Ace, Sabo and Luffy, three brothers with dreams of seeking such freedom, know this better than anyone. Five years on, and it almost seems hopeless. But perhaps a few helping hands, and an old pirate's offer, can give them everything the world had tried so hard to take away.
Or:
How Ace, Sabo and Luffy were slaves once, and how a family of pirates help them break their chains.

Summary
“This wouldn’t be a problem if you accepted my friend request.” Yuuji pouts.
“Yuuji-kun,” Gojou says, tone all infinite patience. “How could I know that the random teenage boy trying to friend me on social media was my time-traveling student?”
Yuuji rolls his eyes. “Because you’re Gojou-sensei.”
It’s hard not to be a little charmed.
OR: yuuji travels back in time. he’s not especially good at it, depending who you ask.

Summary
Damen's already unpleasant visit to Arles takes a sour turn when he and Laurent get into an argument.
“You’re unfair!” Laurent chokes out, wrapping his hands around Damen’s wrist, much like he did last night. “So what, just because I was –admittedly– a little cruel last night you decided to abandon me before the sun even rises? Do you want me to grovel at your feet? Beg for forgiveness?”
“I want no such thing,” Damen answers patiently. “You said yourself before we arrived here that our stay was going to last six months at most. We’re almost halfway done. Without me here to distract you, the time will fly and before you know it, we will reunite in our new palace.”
Laurent’s lower lip wobbles. “You’re willing to stay away from me for that long, then?”
Damen doesn’t hesitate to answer honestly. “If it will make you stop resenting me, yes.”
“Resent you?! I don’t–”
“You compared me to your uncle, Laurent.”

Summary
There's something about this girl, like looking in a funhouse mirror a third of his size. “Oi, kid,” Toji says. “It’s you, isn’t it?”
The girl glares daggers at him from behind a pair of red-rimmed glasses too big for her tiny face. She’s looking at him like he’s totally crazy, which isn’t entirely untrue. “Huh? Who the heck are you?”
In lieu of answering, he asks, “What’s your name?”
The girl scowls. “Maki.”
“Maki,” he repeats, and it’s like a missing piece of his soul falls back into place. The record of his life before he fought the Six-Eyes brat is a long, impossibly white scroll of nothing -- but written on it in faint letters is the name of a child, a child with a delicate name that brushed the heavens, spun a prayer into letters; a name that began with an M, and it ended in i, too.
“Maki,” he says again. “I think you’re my daughter.”
--------
Toji makes a mistake. It changes everything.

Summary
Lan Xichen is a broken man no longer able to trust his own judgement. Jiang Wanyin was broken long ago, and he healed... badly. The cultivation world is off-balance, and it hasn't gone unnoticed.
In the middle of an icy winter, a comet appears in the sky. Is it a warning? A celestial dragon? Have the gods, weary of waiting for cultivators to sort out their own mess, decided to take action?
Over the course of three seasons, the two sect leaders are forced closer as they attempt to appease the gods and rebalance their land. Perhaps, in the course of their adventures, they will also find a way to rebalance themselves.
TLDR: In which a fiery plot device in the sky forces two lonely, broken men to sort their shit out and find everything they'd been lacking in each other.

Summary
Sukuna’s being pretty quiet right now, so Yuuji can almost pretend he’s by himself. He’s sprawled on his back in his new bed at Jujutsu Tech, staring at a smudge on the ceiling. There’s a demon in his head and the uneasy aftermath of a cursed finger in his stomach. It’s the perfect time to break down, and he has more reasons to cry than he’s ever had in his life, so everything should be hitting him all at once.
Except it isn’t.

Summary
Before the young god-prince learns of his mother and plots his escape, Zagreus wishes for a bit of earth to plot a garden.
The prince consults Achilles, of all souls, about the act of growing things. Asks for Achilles to describe to him the plants and flowers and trees of the surface world, from the shape of their leaves to their texture and smell. Asks how deep the roots of trees go, what it is like to sit beneath their shade, and listens raptly to all Achilles says of the worms and beetles who live in the dirt.
“I’m afraid I rather took it all for granted.” Achilles admits, ashamed, one day-or-night as Zagreus sits cross-legged on the floor of his chambers patiently while Achilles tries, and fails, to draw a passable image of an olive tree on a sheet of parchment.

Summary
Tanjiro dropped to his knees and bowed until his head touched the ground. "Thank you, Doctor!" he cried. "Thank you so much for helping our family! I swear, as the eldest son, I will work to pay off any medical debts for as long as it takes! Even if it takes my whole life, I'll do it gladly! Thank you!"
To his surprise, the doctor didn't respond, and Tanjiro raised his head. Yoriichi's cheeks were flushed slightly, and he was holding his hands up in an anxious protest. "There is no debt to pay," he insisted in a voice that was as soft as his scent. "You owe me nothing."
A slayer of old is reincarnated. Haunted by memories that he doesn't understand of blood and regret, he vows never to hold a blade and takes up the mantle of a healer instead.

Summary
A series centered on Shinichi (Conan), Rei, and Akai, becoming a family of convenience for the sake of their cover and then becoming something a lot more irreplaceable than that. Akai x Rei slow burn, but mostly just family vibes.
Note: I use Shinichi's real name in this story, but he's still in Conan's body. Not a future, post-transformation fic.

Summary
Kris is more determined than normal; but with every advantage a vessel gains, their opposition must gain one greater than that. A more outgoing and charismatic Kris can tackle some of their problems head on, but they very quickly find that they’re not the only one with agency they lacked before. And while they can finally reach for what they truly desire, sometimes that’s in contrast to what they think they want.
With a soul that whispers prescient instructions, and friends that seem very worried about the Dark World they find themselves in, Kris can only hope that, in the end, they can make things work out in their favour.
