    Summary

    Another dream, Zoro’s brain suggested. A side effect of the drugs.
    Sanji sighed and curled his fingers around Shusui’s hilt, and for a moment, in the moonlight, he looked like a statue animated by an unknown god, wrought from living marble. Zoro remembered – the frantic sound of his voice, the gunfire-rapid thump of his heartbeat, the wild, animal terror in his eyes.
    Let him go, he’d told Kuma, trembling with the pain of standing on a shattered leg. Take me instead.
    Hell of a side effect, Zoro thought, before passing out.

    Summary

    Abandoned by his parents, Megumi Fushiguro survives through sheer stubbornness, stolen food, and the aid of his shadows. He doesn't trust easily, because why would he?, but he's determined to live long enough to find his father and kick his ass.
    Enter Gojo Satoru: obnoxious, powerful, and apparently someone who knows his deathbeat father. He claims he wants to help and though Megumi doesn't really buy it, Gojo is determined to aid him anyway.

    (Or in which Tsumiki’s mother leaves behind only the child that wasn’t hers, and Gojo Satoru finds himself trying to earn the trust of a boy who’s never known safety, and decides to raise him anyway.)

    Summary

    “You’re dismissed, Marimo,” he said, rudely waving him off. “Have fun with your cornstarch.”

    Zoro scowled at him. “You’re a fucking asshole, you know that?”

    A grin on the blonde’s face- a big, goofy one.

    The first one Zoro’s seen.

    “I sure do,” he said, flipping Zoro off before turning around to continue his work.

    Or

    Not-so-chance encounters and far too much care between them.

    Sanji never understands, Zoro can never explain.

    It’ll come to a head eventually, I promise.

    Summary

    “What’s ‘rakshak’?” he asks.

    Mama’s lips press together, but Papa smiles. “It’s fine, Faranak. The Akasha has a fully public entry on both…conditions. He may as well learn about it now.” Papa takes the clip from Mama, turning it over in his fingers, then looks at Kaveh. “Most countries call rakshak ‘Sentinels.’ You might say they’re the opposite of Guides.”

    “Bad?” Kaveh asks warily.

    Both his parents laugh. “No, no, sweetheart. I would say they’re more counterparts than opposites—here, let me bring it up,” adds Mama.

     

    ---

     

    Kaveh is a Guide, like his father. Alhaitham, a Sentinel not quite like anyone else. Born into a Land of Wisdom that cares little for those gifts, they must explore old hurts, find their way with or without each other...and have the courage to face their own reflection.
