He looks over to curly brow again. He’s smoking, which is normal enough, but his foot tapping on the floor and his hand clenching and unclenching give him away. Something has been bothering him since Zoro met up with everyone again. Maybe if he stares at him long enough, he’ll be able to peer into his brain and figure him out. He pictures it as a pink blob with one giant swirl, and the image makes him smirk despite himself. But if that idiot cook starts acting all weird around him, he may have to choke the reason out. Because something dumb like this shouldn’t be enough to fuck up their dynamic. Curly brow being annoying, and pissy, and a perv, and a great cook, and high-tempered, and strong, and talkative, and loyal, and stupid, and kind, and his rival was what he was used to. Him being any kind of uncertain around him, he was not.

He didn’t want this to change what they are. Because at least when they’re arguing, they’re close together. At least when there’s danger, they can work together as one. At least when the night is dark, and no one else is around, they can share space together, combine their burdens and make them a bit lighter, just for a little while. And no words need to be spoken. Because they both understand.

That’s not something he wants to lose.

I’m very excited about this fic!! I’ve been working on it for a long while, and it’s my longest work ever. It’s 23k words and counting! If you’ve read my other two fics, they’re only around 4k words each. So this is a huge step up! I can’t wait for you all to read this one, I’m hoping to have it posted before the end of the month! Stay tuned!

Thinking about how Zoro is obviously concealing his hurt/anger over Sanji leaving here but it also subtly shows how his relationship with Sanji is different in nature than the other Strawhats’ (maybe minus Luffy) relationship with Sanji. Chopper and Nami are concerned with “getting Sanji back/saving Sanji,” but Zoro thinks it’s better to just leave Sanji be as they have a more imminent threat ahead. In a way I reckon this shows Zoro’s inherent trust in Sanji, and it’s kind of… sweet? Zoro knows that Sanji knows what he’s doing. He was fine with leaving half of the crew under Sanji’s lead in an unknown territory, and even when reading Sanji’s letter he (and Luffy) never doubted that Sanji would be back.

On top of that, Zoro understands the role that him and Sanji have as the “wings” (even if that dynamic hasn’t been named yet). In Thriller Bark, they witnessed each other’s resolve to protect Luffy and the crew at their own expense. Luffy won’t allow anyone on his crew to get hurt, but Zoro knows that if there were to be anyone to sacrifice themselves for the crew, it would be him and Sanji. That’s why he’s allowing Sanji to make his sacrifice right now, trusting that he’s making the right move, despite feeling 18 levels of hurt and betrayal deep down.

This is where he differs from Luffy: Luffy doesn’t leave things unsaid. Luffy wants to “ask” Sanji, wants explicit confirmation on what Sanji actually needs. Zoro relies on the unspoken contract that him and Sanji formed throughout the many battles they fought together. There’s no saying which approach is better; it’s just interesting how they’re presented in contrast lol.

Wip. Luffy as Icarus and Ace, the ever out-of-reach Sun.

[datkat08]

Zosan wip: Match

[datkat08]

luffy as the sun and ace as icarus. ace's adoration for his younger brother, dearly boasting about him to anyone who would listen. luffy's unwavering warmth and ability to connect with everyone he meets. ace's recklessness. luffy and nika, the sun god, his related powers to the sun itself. ace as the son of a great man, daedalus/roger, and his yearning to be free. ace dying in luffy's arms while basking in his brightness, thanking him for loving him as he plummets to the floor.

(or) ace as the sun and luffy as icarus. luffy's admiration for his big brother who always seemed untouchable, and the clamber for his affection. luffy's own recklessness, ace's magnetic warmth and fire related powers. luffy who has always fought for his freedom more than anything in this world. luffy falling away from ace, crashing down to earth, the sun just out of reach as it remains high in the sky, now eternally away from him.

and sabo as the sky in between them. the atmosphere, unnoticeable, forgotten until his brother was already falling through it. sabo’s amnesia, an absent and unknown piece of their story. the air which encases his brothers in wordless hugs, and in futile mourning, cannot lift what has already fallen. his memory influenced ace and luffy in every moment he was gone, they ached to fly. and only him and luffy, the sky and the sun, remain in fruitless grief.

I just got the dumbest fic idea.

“That Should Be Enough Time”

~~~

“Oi, cook, lend me your hand for ten seconds.”

In which the the iconic moment from the Davy Back arc makes its return in the least expected way: Zoro and Sanji’s wedding.

Aka: Zoro and Sanji have to get married as fast as humanly possible.

Sanji slowly licking up and down the hilt of Wado to tease Zoro, knowing how often it’s in the swordsman’s mouth, perhaps not quite prepared for just how much he’s riled up by the action
