Summary
“What’s your problem?” Sanji demands.
What? “There is no problem,” Zoro dismisses.
Sanji scoffs. “You’ve been out for me since I joined the crew.”
“Wow, a whole week,” Zoro says sarcastically.
Sanji confronts Zoro about his attitude - in a bubble bath, no less.

But in a desperate moment during Luffy’s final battle against Blackbeard, the opportunity comes and Law doesn't hesitate to take it…only to wake up alive afterwards.

Summary
Ikkaku lifts her glass with a teasing grin. “Only if you’re buying.”
Nami laughs, her hand patting Ikkaku’s arm once, twice, then resting in place. Warmth pours into Ikkaku’s skin, slow and thick like honey.
“Oh, dear, sweet Ikkaku,” she says with a sigh. “Trust me, neither of us will be paying a single coin tonight.”
Ikkaku, Nami, and a late night conversation. Written for Day 4 of Heart Pirates Week 2024.

Summary
Golden eyes flick back towards Luffy, who smiles back at him. Law sighs again. “I was thinking,” he admits.
“Mm?”
“About you on Onigashima.”
“Why?”
Law’s gaze turns distant, even as he continues to brush through Luffy’s hair. “Your hair looked different.”
Luffy and Law share a quiet moment together in the aftermath of Kaido's defeat. It takes weeks before Luffy realizes it's their last.

Summary
“Go away,” Luffy barks out. For a brief second, the smoke disappears and there is a glimmer of hope that Nika actually listened to him for once. Then hands grip the sides of Luffy’s face, yanking his head back far enough that his neck is almost at a 90 degree angle. Luffy’s eyes fly open in surprise and sees his own face peering back at him with red eyes and a mad grin.
“If you really wanted me gone, I wouldn’t be here in the first place.” The grip on Luffy’s face tightens. “Would I?”
In the wake of tragedy, Luffy winds up all alone on an unknown island. Drowning in loneliness and grief, he finds refuge in Nika. But as Luffy sinks further into Nika's madness, an unexpected light in the dark appears, determined to pull him back from the brink of oblivion.

Summary
Daniel sees life like a river. Thinks he is caught up in a current that only goes one way, that will eventually sweep him out to sea. It’s easier for him to think so. It keeps him alive to think so.
He doesn’t know that he could stand up and reach the bottom. He doesn’t know he has a choice.
Drugs don’t work, sex doesn’t work, New York hasn’t worked. Somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, an improbable number of suicides have taken place. Somewhere in a bar in New York, Daniel hears about them. He wants to fill a void. The difference between what is real and what isn’t matters as little to him as the things he’ll find to throw into the darkness. Which, as it turns out, is quite a lot.

Summary
"I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."
"This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"
"Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."
"Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

Summary
“Petra tou Romiou, huh? Didn’t figure you one for tourist traps,” Daniel offers into the night air.
"They say that Venus, Aphrodite, whichever name you know her by, emerged from the sea foam here. She was never a baby, or a child, she emerged beautiful, with love and lust and desire following behind her,” Armand recounts.
“Yeah, this is her rock we’re sitting on, apparently," Daniel agrees non-committedly. "Cut the bullshit, we need to talk.”
Armand says nothing. Continues staring out at the ocean.
“Look at me,” Daniel hisses.
Armand turns to face him, and the breath is punched out of his chest.
Seeing him again, in the flesh, beautiful and inhuman, Daniel is forced to remember that this is not just another story he has been chasing. There is no book at the end of this year's long line of inquiry, no documentary or Pulitzer-winning article. No professional detachment. There is just this—two monsters on a beach and a horrible amalgamation of emotions that fill Daniel’s rotted heart and scarred throat.

"Spock. Just say 'I don't trust Starfleet not to mess up the only captain in the fleet who I can train up to my expectations and enjoys running into danger wearing a blindfold as much as I do'."
