Summary
Zoro took a good look at him. “Are you sure you’re okay?”
Why wouldn’t I be? My whole life has been a fucking lie, that’s all.
He wasn’t just not a ladies’ man anymore. And he wasn’t just not disgusted by that fucking brute and inelegant seaweed of a man.
Sanji had a huge, massive, overwhelming, undeniable crush on Zoro.
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
***
The Straw Hats end up on a small, seemingly empty island, where they take an opportunity to encounter the thing each of them needs the most, in a series of personal challenges. Sanji, like everybody else, goes on his search alone... until a stupid green marimo gets on his way.- Language:

Summary
Martin helps him tip his head back, his back to Martin's front. The two of them look up to the sky in frozen silence, not even breathing, the sound of the wind whistling through the trees the only sound in the clearing. The stars are wrong. Jon knows the stars, Knows the shape and age of each one, and there is not a single constellation above him that he recognizes.
“Oh, god,” Jon says, his eyes gone wide. The weight of everything crushing down upon him at once. They are in another universe, and they have brought hell with them. Jonah Magnus is dead, and will never find them again. Everyone they have ever known is gone, and will never find them again.

Summary
It seems like everything has been leading them to this moment, Jon in Martin's arms, tired, but trusting and dear to him, so dear that Martin's heart aches longingly.

Summary
They help, is the thing. They show up, and they help, and then they disappear.
I guess that’s why I want it to be true. It’d be nice if it was true, if—if these things are changing for the worse, but there’s someone out there. Helping. It’s, uh. Reassuring, I guess.
Maybe it’s stupid. Maybe it’s pointless and I’m just chasing after empty hope and wishful thinking. This stuff is only getting more dangerous. But… that’s the thing, isn’t it? It’s getting more dangerous. More people are getting hurt, or worse. More people are going to get hurt.
So maybe we could all do with a little hope.
---The tether is cut, and another world changes. In the midst of encroaching horrors, Gerard Keay searches for answers.

Summary
“Did you have a… secret past life?”
Martin snorts. “As if I had the time.” He shakes his head, turning back to the task at hand. “I wanted to, but I was mostly boring, you know? Go to work, come home… the worst I did was get a tattoo.”
Jon feels his need to know almost take him out at the knees; where? Of what? Why? When did he get it? Between Martin’s brief sojourn in document storage and their awkward first night on the sofa, Jon’s seen most of him—where is it? Forcing himself to be normal about this, he nods stiffly. Words gather in a landslide against his teeth and he clenches his jaw, brows raised in an expression that he hopes exudes polite curiosity.
From Martin’s smirk, he misses the mark by a mile.

Summary
Jon got Martin away from the Lonely, but that didn't entirely "save" him. While hiding at the cabin, Jon does whatever he can to help Martin and take care of him... but it's hard to know what to do, or avoid doing too much. Martin isn't sure if he'll be alright, he just knows he needs to be here. In little ways, they help each other, and help themselves. (mentions the other characters, but only Basira is really featured)
Once again inspired by art and ideas from lonelyslutavatar on tumblr~
(the boys have been through some TRAUMA, and it takes a while to recover. This gives them some breathing-room between getting out of the Lonely, and before the Eye Apocalypse happens. It is also me doing a bit of a character study, working out how they have changed, what stays the same, and why some stuff goes unsaid. Although it is difficult, Jon is trying to be the one who is the care-giver for once, but he still needs help himself)

Summary
After the death of his mother, Martin has no reason to keep himself bound to the unwelcome city he's lived in his whole life. Seeking a change, he moves to a small town in the heart of the English countryside - one tied inexplicably and centuries-deep to the Courts of Fair Folk that reside in the nearby forest.
It's by chance that he finds himself lost, after dark, wandering through the woodland in search of something that wears his friend's face. It's by chance that the fae he meets does not intend to devour him. It's by chance — really, it is — that his life is now entangled with the roots and the vines that lace through this town like cabling, as he delves into the past in search of the heart of the fae Courts, and truly, if there's a way to bring anyone back from the creatures that may have snatched them from the world a hundred years before.
(It's by chance, really, that he finds himself falling in love with the monster that stole his heart.)Bookmarked by Octavian_the_CheeseMan

Summary
Jon's been going about his life and his schooling the same way he always has — overworking himself to exhaustion and attempting to ignore the phantom pains he experiences (though there's one ache that always takes him out for the day, a blinding pain in his chest just above his heart that doctors have assured him is no cause for alarm).
One late night, while doing work for his literature course, something strange happens. He brushes it off, but when the same thing keeps happening, maybe Jon has to admit there's something going on.
or
Jon and Martin will find each other, no matter where they go.
