Summary
Once upon a time, a tree lived in Gondolia. Then a wind from Gallopolis stirred and bore upon it a tumbleweed from Gallopolis. When two forces so opposed as the unmoving tree and the ever-moving tumbleweed collide, the tree must navigate his feelings, contend with his own nature, and realize what it means to be friends.

Summary
Reconnecting with a former enemy during the nightmare that was Kamabakka was not what Sanji expected. Even less expected was the two of them entering some kind of relationship. Even less expected was Crocodile following him back to The Sunny after the two years were up and deciding not to leave.
Written as part of a prompt challenge I posed to my friends - each chapter is inspired by one of the prompts!

Summary
The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb, and the endless ocean is fraught with lost ghosts. A knight's word is his bond, but such bonds may be chains that anchor Hendrik in an inviolable past, inert and distressed by the world and all its time whorling uncontrollably around him.
Change is on the horizon, and at his back is a fleeting and ungraspable hunger.

Summary
A disturbed ocean swells between them, like blood in a broken vein, and it takes so little to make it spill. He understood. Of course he did. He, perhaps, was the only one who could ever understand.
But that did not make it easier, and that did not mean that Sylvando was the only one in pain.

Summary
Hendrik had never minded sleeping rough; being out in the wilds with his brigade, hunkered down in tents and being immersed in the field - it kept him humble and focused, and discipline was a virtue. However his opinion could be changed, and due to recent changes of circumstance regarding his love life he realised just how much he ought to cherish a humble inn room and indulge in giving in.

Summary
If it was not absurd enough that it was Sylvando of all people saying to tone it down, the fact that of all people to be told to turn it down was Hendrik was something Sylvando had never really anticipated.

Both Hendrik and Sylvando grapple with being forgotten, and with those things they can't forget. Takes place in Act 2, after getting Erik back but before you do his personal quest. Spoilers, obviously, up to that point. Explicit content in Chapter 2.

Summary
"Shamefully, I get rather drowsy after more than two drinks," Hendrik always lamented. And with a straight face, too.
Turns out, that was a fib, and one Sylv hadn't even questioned. The truth was far more endearing.

Summary
○◘•◘○◘•◘○
Darling is a term of endearment. It is something that is to be used when referring to a loved one, one you could not do without, one you would devote your life to.
And Hendrik tells himself that that is the reason it bothers him so much.
And in unknowing retaliation, he, too, uses the wrong word.
