Summary
It was easy to forget, sometimes, that everyone in the New World was there for a reason. With how strong the Strawhats had gotten, with how strong he had gotten, the thought that they could ever be hurt, let alone defeated, crossed Zoro’s mind less and less. It was at times like these, however, when he remembered. When he couldn’t afford to forget.
Everyone in the New World was there for a reason. Everyone in the New World was there because they were powerful – powerful enough to survive the absolute insanity that came with the Grand Line. And sometimes – just sometimes – even the Strawhats were faced with a dilemma like this.
Zoro looked at his nakama, fallen apart, and wanted his captain.
---
The Strawhats underestimate a group of marines, and face the consequences.

Summary
“Robin-chan!” He shouted, his voice strained but carrying across the empty street to the receding tram nonetheless. Robin had been struggling to her feet, pushing off the hands of the people helping her up, looking for a way to get back to him, crossing her arms in front of her in vain, desperately trying to find a way to get him back – but she paused at his call, and he saw her look back at him. He kept smiling. “Go get Luffy – I’ll be waiting!”
The tram turned a corner and was gone, taking Robin safely with it. He kept watching the empty street, finally letting his smile drop as heavy footsteps approached. Gleaming black shoes filled his vision, and Sanji stared resolutely ahead as the man from before crouched by his side.
“Sacrificing yourself, eh? How noble.” Sanji snorted, curling his lip.
“Hardly,” he said, placing all of his conviction into his words. “Robin-chan will be back for me, and she’ll bring far more than you and your shitty henchmen can handle.”

Summary
It had been one name, shouted in the heat of battle, that had stuck in Nami’s head. Yonji. She had turned at the sound of it, confused. Wondering if she’d misheard through the protective earplugs. Wondering how these people could have gone through so much trouble to steal her friend just to end up getting his name wrong – but then Sanji’s brother, the green-haired one, he’d turned too. And Nami had realised there had been no mistake – that was his name. Yonji.
Sanji.
Sanji and Yonji.
---
A series of one-shots set during the journey from WCI to Wano, and the aftermath of the huge amount of trauma Sanji suffered at the hands of the Vinsmokes and Big Mom.

Summary
It had occurred to him at some point after they had left Wano Kuni that the Vinsmokes must have passed through nearby waters, since Whole Cake Island had been so close.
Which was why, when the Strawhats docked at the first island they spotted after leaving Wano, Sanji was so nervous he almost considered staying on the ship while the rest of the crew explored the town.
—
The Strawhats make their first stop after Wano, and begin to understand that the Vinsmoke name isn’t so easily left behind.

Summary
He'd been walking towards the door. He'd wanted to leave, had been desperate to leave. The explosion had come from in front of him; he remembered being thrown backwards by the force of it. But then - he also remembered the same feeling from behind him just a few seconds later, and then the sound of a third explosion from the side -
We were bombed, he realised, and almost laughed.
Of course. Of course, during the one and only solo diplomatic mission that Keith had ever been sent on, something like this would happen. Of course.
--
Keith is sent to negotiate a peace treaty with an alien community, but things go very, very wrong.

Summary
Richie Tozier was very much not subtle.
Eddie catches Richie looking, at the quarry, in the clubhouse, during sleepovers. He notices drawn eyes at any hint of exposed skin, feels Richie’s eyes burning through him when he wears his ridiculous shorts, catches Richie’s gaze in quiet moments. Like Richie is constantly studying him, committing him to memory. It makes Eddie feel undone.
~~~
Or, Eddie knows that Richie likes him, and he likes Richie, and Richie knows Eddie knows, and Eddie knows Richie knows Eddie knows, and he still manages to make a mess of it anyway.- Language:

Summary
"Hey." Richie asks Stan one day when no one else is around. "Do you- do you ever feel like...."
"Like what?" Stan asks.
"Like you just know things." Richie says.
Stan looks at him strangely. He's trying to figure Richie out. "What kinds of things?"
"Like.... people. Like, what other people are thinking, or feeling." He elaborates, trying to find the right words to describe himself.
XXX

Summary
Jonathan thought it was stupid. The whole thing was stupid. Just because Will was quiet and small, and sensitive as his mom said, didn’t mean that… Didn’t give them permission to say things like that. Jonathan had been called queer before, quite a few times in fact, he was also quiet but the vitriol they say it with, when they direct it at his brother.
Frightened him.
The whole town had marked his baby brother as wrong. As different. As a mistake.
Jonathan wanted to burn the whole town down. With their accusations, and gossip; their fake and vapid smiles hiding any piece of authenticity. They all lied and hid, and they hated his brother because he didn’t.
Because he couldn’t.
It terrified him because they were right.

Summary
When Eddie hears knocking on his window as the sun set, he expected a breathless, but smirking, smart-ass Richie Tozier. Not a Richie with a black eye and tears smeared down it. And definitely didn’t expect the words that flew out of his mouth to reach Eddie’s ears.
