Summary
Then he tells her about the love-sea disease, drowning for someone who may not do the same. He asks her why does the sea do that, why does the sea take? Why is it so full of monsters and loss? And he pauses, remembering the citrus in the air as yellowing pages cocoon him in images of sailors’ puffy bodies with bulging, white eyes and mermaids with sand leaking from their gills. His voice wobbles to the beat of unrelenting waves beyond the kingdom.
“Will it take me too?”
And his mother holds him closer, opening up her chest to bury him amongst the other treasures she keeps. She promises him that the ocean would not let any of their own suffer, my little sea angel. Her chest opens further and a gleaming pearl glistens under Sanji’s admiration.
The sea will always give you what you need.
Sanji nods, easing the words next to Atlas. He holds it up with the weight of the sky so light on his shoulders.
or the story of Sanji and the sea and all things in between

Summary
“How did it go? The meeting,” Robin asks, the heavenly sound of her voice making Sanji’s heart expand in his chest.
But being reminded of the meeting and having to think up a response makes his now expanded heart sink. It sinks so hard that Sanji falls back on his ass with the weight of it. He crosses his legs and tries to balance his empty cup of coffee on Yamato’s forehead, where the fringe has parted in two. “It was Hell,” he sighs. “They want me to get into a publicity stunt.”
“Aow! Who’s the lucky lady?” Franky chirps and Sanji looks up and around the room at everything he has. All of it coming with a price. An awful one at that.
“That’s the thing, actually. There won’t be any luck. And there won’t be any lady.”

Summary
Sanji doesn't know what he's done in a past life to deserve this, but somehow when Zoro gets turned into a cat he's the one stuck on babysitting duty. How someone that small can cause so much trouble, he'll never understand.
But even after all the hell he's put through, he still manages to fall in love.

Summary
“You know none of this is true, right?” The shitty hunter soaks in the tacky decor of the coffee shop with visible distaste.“What?”
“Vamps don’t actually turn into bats,” he huffs, poking at a dangling plastic decoration. “And they sure as hell don’t wear capes, either. They look just like any average person. That’s what makes them so dangerous.”
“Oh. I had no idea,” lies Sanji, who is most definitely an average person and not a vampire. He shoots the mosshead his best customer service smile, the one that screams sir, this is just an innocent local business with no affiliation to vampires, the Easter Bunny, or Santa Claus. “Can I get you anything?”
Alternatively: In this economy, you gotta do what you gotta do. Some people hunt rogue vampires. Others run coffee shops that cater specifically to their fellow creatures of the night, and try their best not to get staked through the heart (or fall in love).

Summary
The boy who worked the graveyard shift at Brazenhead Books was bird-thin, and pale, and kind of scowl-y. He was always reading enormous dry texts with titles like Tort Law and Alternatives and Intro to Comparative Constitutional Law. He drawled like Matthew McConaughey and the hair just above his right ear never lay flat.
Ronan was probably in love.

Summary
It wasn't that Adam listened to the comments from other Aglionby boys about "the brain and the brawn" or took any of their gold-plated opinions into account.
It was the fearless, almost insubordinate, nature of Ronan's rolled up sleeves. Two handprints encircled his wrists, a deep violet, darker than any mark Adam had ever seen. Gansey sported a matching color on both palms, as if he'd dipped them completely in paint.

”Oh fuck off,” Stiles snapped at Isaac. “Thanks for the smoke.” He waved at them sarcastically before scooping up a backpack that Derek hadn’t noticed in the shadows. He slung it over his shoulder as he took off across the grass.
Derek stared after him for a moment, dumbstruck.
“That’s Stiles,” Isaac said, smirking as he tapped on the remainder of his cigarette to loosen the ash. “Interesting dude. Kind of a dick.”

Summary
“I am a total weirdo,” Derek shrugs, finally meeting his eyes and bookmarking his page.
Derek’s ridiculously glad to see him. A part of him thought he might not show up after Saturday’s debacle.
Stiles’ cheeks are flushed and he’s only wearing a t-shirt, sans his usual plaid over shirt. It’s been hot as hell this summer and Derek can smell clean sweat on him and his hair is a little wild, longer than it was last time he saw him, sticking up in places from the humidity.
Derek tries to scent the air as subtly as he can but Stiles’ eyes darken in response. He smells good.
His warm brown eyes narrow, clever gaze scrutinising Derek and his lips are pursed, but he doesn’t actually look angry anymore.
He looks confused. Exasperated even.
“Correct. You are a weirdo. And I like that about you, for the record. Usually. But Saturday... you were way more weird than normal. What’s going on Derek?” Stiles jabs a finger at him as he toes off his sneakers.

Summary
"Hey, Derek. I, uh, thought you might be—you know. Gone," he says, the words quietly mumbling around his gross gnawing of an already too-short thumbnail as he risks everything because he can never just accept when anything good happens to him and can never, ever manage to keep his big fucking mouth shut.
Derek must know, right?
He has got to know. Has to know that Stiles is punching way above his point weight here. Like, Beauty and the Beast proportions, hell. So yeah, 'course he knows, Stiles assures himself. Dude has a pretty big brain in that beautiful thick werewolf skull of his, so he has to be thinking this was just some one-time roll in the hay kind of thing.
Right?
For once in his pathetically sad little life, Stiles really doesn't want to be right.
OR
The one where Stiles thinks them hooking up was probably just a booty call for a horny Derek, and Derek is—well, just kind of Derek about the whole thing (but maybe not in the way you might expect).

Summary
"May I ask," Derek takes a moment to breathe, "why?"
Stiles scoffs. "Why do you care, dude? I mean, it's not like the dislike isn't mutual."
There is a silence, long and heavy, in which Derek stares out at the road and wonders if he really is so inept at showing his emotions externally. I'm in love with you, Derek thinks, how on earth did you get that so wrong? How on earth did I get that so wrong? Where did I fuck up?
"Oh," Stiles says, all surprise and brief wonder. "It... isn't. Is it?"
(Or: The one where Derek struggles with his words, Stiles struggles to be recognised for his abilities, and Scott Ships It)
