Summary
Zuko was probably more involved in the gossip around the palace than he had any right to be.
It’s not his fault, it’s really not. It’s just that sometimes he’s sitting in the kitchens (the best place to get the gossip) drinking tea and trying to relax for once, and some of the kitchen staff will start gossiping where he can still hear them. He doesn’t really try to listen in; it’s not his place and he won’t judge the staff based on whatever rumors are running around, but Spirits is it interesting. He tries not to listen too much, or get too invested in it though. Gossip is gossip after all, and rumors hardly ever turn out to be true.
But Zuko absolutely needs to know if Maya from the laundry room broke up with her piece of shit boyfriend.
Or, 5 times Zuko got invested in/meddled in palace gossip, and 1 time he was the subject of the gossip.

Summary
Zuko had been here before. Exactly five times today.
It always plays out exactly the same, he wakes up to his uncle singing a song about Ba Sing Se, he sees the beam of light. He barges into the village. He gets hit with a boomerang after beating up the Water Tribe’s poor excuse for a soldier.. though after the third attempt, Zuko had started to dodge that. The Avatar appears, sacrifices himself, then escapes.
He goes to sleep, and then it begins again the second he woke up.

Summary
Law knows the rumors, the stories, has even seen the results himself and yet he still doesn't much trust the supposed miracle letter sender from Sabaody. It's true that after going to the end of the world and back - or more accurately being dragged by Lu- ya at times - nothing should quite be impossible anymore.
And yet... A girl with a Devil fruit that is able to send a letter anywhere - everywhere - as long as the name of the recipient is on the letter and the sender is genuine in their intentions sounds a bit too much like a fairytale. It would be even more foolish to believe she truly send a letter to anyone, even if that person had died.
Still, Law finds himself hoping.
***
Aka that fic where the little fan from Fan Letter gets a Devil fruit and Law gets some much needed closure with Cora-san.

Summary
He'd like to think he's slick enough, the way he can keep the dull ache of his chest tucked away in the hidden back pocket of his heart and expertly school his features whenever one of Luffy's wayward smiles knocks all defiance and strength out of his knees. No need to call on his powers to slice and muddle and skew reality as everyone knows it; he can bitch and spit and grouse about how much disgrace Luffy's simple kindness brings to all pirates, make a show of stamping out any notion of friendship between them beneath his feet, and no one will have to hear any semblance of the truth exit his mouth – now or ever.
In all honesty, it's easier that way.
(Or: my personal twist on the Hanahaki trope, in which Luffy's warmth shines all-too-terrifyingly like the sun and Law has to physically rip out anything that vaguely even resembles love from his own body again, and again, and again on desperate repeat.Luckily for him, he has the surgical precision and exactly the right devil fruit powers for that).

Summary
Being an Omega isn't unusual in the Lightkeepers. They don't have enough manpower to be complaining about new recruits and it isn't an issue anyway.
When the Knights of Favonius arrived from afar, with them came along people of all dynamics, as is customary for the city of freedom. Among them, came a vice captain by the name of Lohen.
Illuga's new annoyance.
-
Or, how Illuga helped patch Lohen up that one time, and got stuck with him forever as a result.
