Summary
‘It just started following you,’ Nami says slowly, her voice laced with lethal amounts of skepticism. ‘Nothing else happened.’
Zoro glances down at the kitten and shrugs. Nami's expression veers towards despair.
The Straw Hats get a kitten. Luffy and Zoro get together (eventually).

Summary
Zoro is good at silence. He's good at keeping his distance, and he’s especially good at pretending that seeing Luffy once a year at their high school reunion is enough. But this year, the bar empties out, the drinks catch up to him, and Zoro finally slips up.
Now, the one person he’s spent years hiding his feelings from is refusing to let him pull away.
[Modern AU. Four years post-high school.]

Summary
“You’re not even the slightest bit worried, huh?” Sanji snorts after another deep drag.
Zoro shrugs. “He’s the captain. He’s gonna be King of the Pirates. With ambitions like that, the least he can do is survive.”
There’s a pause, and then Sanji laughs, “Y’know, he said something like that about you too. At the Baratie. Remember? That if you were gonna be his first mate, the least you could do was beat the strongest swordsman in the world.” A shadow crosses his face as he taps ash into the tray. “Right after you almost got cut in half.”

After a major battle that leaves both captain and first-mate convalescing, Zoro assumes that everything is fine.

Summary
Bathtime with Luffy is usually Zoro's responsibility. He's the one who hauls Luffy out of the water and so he's the one who dunks him into it. Freshwater doesn't hurt a devil fruit user - it's the specificity of the salt that does it, the mix of ocean water that drains the energy from a devil fruit user and makes them sink. The Going Merry's baths aren't 100% freshwater.

Summary
Zoro's decided that maybe it doesn't matter exactly what they're doing. Probably it's best to just not think about it too much. If something's good, let it be good. Go with the flow. Don't rock the boat. All that kind of thing.
As the Straw Hats head for the Grand Line, things with Luffy are good, and Zoro is all good, too.

Summary
After finally being freed from the secrets he'd carried for so long, all Sanji wants is to return to the chaotic normalcy of life with the Straw Hats. A trip to the northern reaches of Wano and an unfortunate run in with a man made of shadows ruins that by giving Sanji a new, more irritating inner demon.

Summary
“Face it,” the one called Nami tells him, a sly smirk on her face. “If he’s said something to you, it’s definitely gonna come true.”
In which Zoro becomes Luffy's friend (as if he had any other choice), his roommate (because Luffy decided), his boyfriend (because really, he loves that idiot more than he should), and discovers no one actually talked to Luffy about his sexuality before. (not that he's going to; maybe they should ask Robin.)

Summary
The thing about Zoro, Nami thinks to herself, is that he's a pretty transparent guy if you pay attention. Like how he stares at Luffy, and smiles about Luffy, then looks away and frowns like he's mad at himself. And like how he's very obviously been telling himself that Luffy's not interested in certain things, even as Luffy ogles him relentlessly and says stuff like, Zoro, are you getting too hot working out in that t-shirt? You look really hot.
The Straw Hats get drunk. Things are shared, and over-shared. There are ramifications.

Summary
He wants to reach out and touch him—his arm, or his hand, something solid, something that tells him Zoro’s still here and tells Zoro he isn’t alone. But there’s barely a part of his body that isn’t bandaged, and with what exposed skin there is he isn’t sure if a simple touch would hurt him even more.
Now he sits beside him, and he is not a patient man, but he will wait for Zoro.

Summary
It’s like with Nami, hitting him full force, but it’s so much more than that as the reality of it all comes crashing down around him. Zoro, his (first mate, first friend in this world of pirates, first crew member and first one he swore an oath with), his—he isn’t even sure what to call him. There’s too much but too little to describe him.
Zoro. Zoro, who—no, no, no offense to Nami—should have been first. Zoro, who’s a constant, and he’s practically vibrating with the need to reach and touch him, make sure he’s really real. His tongue darts out to wet his lip as he steps forward, crowding into his personal space and finally grinning because I found you!
Luffy wants to call him an idiot, because it figures he would get lost finding his way home.
But Zoro just blinks at him, flushes, one eye still framed by a familiar scar and says, “Oh, sorry,” and makes it so much worse when he says, “Do I know you?”
reincarnation au.

Summary
The heavy sword stroke falls on his unprotected back, which he’s instinctively turned in order to keep his eyes on Luffy. He feels the blow land heavy right below his right shoulder blade, barely managing to coat the area in Armament in time to avoid being cleaved neatly in half. It doesn’t fully stop the blow, but he barely feels the steel biting into the flesh of his side.
They make eye contact, captain and first-mate, and in an instant the woman strikes. Zoro sees Luffy’s eyes go from being alight with the adrenaline of battle, to stunned, to something approaching absolute horror. And then Luffy stumbles.

Summary
Zoro had never thought that going out with Luffy would be easy. But that knowledge had not prepared him to meet with a senile old marine, an ex-mercenary, a half-drunk traveling salesman, a fireman with a questionable skillset, a shady government agent, and an even shadier sociopath.

Summary
‘Friends with benefits,’ Nami echoes slowly. ‘That's what you're calling it?’ Eyebrows raised, she makes it seem like the wrong answer. Zoro frowns at her.
‘Fuck buddies?’ he hazards.
Nami closes her eyes for a very long moment and sighs through her nose.
Zoro and Luffy have a friends with benefits thing going on. It's a lot of fun, with no potential for confusion at all.

Sanji does not hate Zoro. He would not be cock deep in a man he hates, and Sanji is just going to have to come to terms with that. Preferably while he isn’t cock deep in said man, but here he is. And as for how he got here, well that came with a lot of compartmentalizing.
