To live in a flock

Summary:

"I expect you to keep singing when we have a party. I expect you to keep smiling when you think no one can see you. I expect you to keep falling asleep in the middle of the deck. I expect you to keep helping Cook with this special recipe from South Blue that’s so good." And if it was even possible the red hair leaned even closer.

"I want you to live, not just survive. And if one day you stumble, the rest of the crew will be there to catch you." Like today went unsaid. "Because it’s what a crew does."

Notes:

Hi ! I just want to say that I'm French with no Beta and my English is mostly self-taught so ... ^^

Enjoy !

Chapter 1: Summary

Chapter Text

Hello everyone!

First thing first, thank you very much for reading the first part of this series <3

For the second part, I will write one-shots, all of them taking place after the part one. The objective is to describe Kuzan's integration in the crew, and also how Shanks, Mihawk and Benn will help him getting over his traumas. And of course the progression of the relationship between Kuzan and Benn ;)

Since it will be a bunch of shorts hurt/comfort os, I will take requests from you! You will be able to ask for either a specific theme/trauma or details you would like on a specific theme in the comments :)

Here are the themes I already have in mind :

  • Self-worth

Thrown overboard during a tempest, Kuzan doesn't think anyone will notice he is missing, or come for him if they do.

  • Self-sacrifice

During a fight, Kuzan takes a bullet meant for Benn. Things only escalate from there.

  • Insomnia

Benn is determined to see Kuzan confront what happened two years ago, whether the other man wants it or not. Fate is on his side.

  • Jealousy - Part 1

An unwarted confrontation reveals Kuzan may be in more danger than he knows, and makes Shanks doubt himself.

  • Jealousy - Part 2
  • Loss of limb- Part 1
  • Loss of limb- Part 2

Once again thank you and see you soon!
