    Bookmarker's Notes

    “I can clean faster than you,” Zoro says, and it’s not a thank you, but he’s scrubbing faster, and there’s water splashing around them and he’s reminded of another memory. Something long ago.

    Of a girl wiping a floor, and a boy staring fiercely up at her, because the battle is over and the dojo is a mess and he doesn’t know why it matters, but it does. So he gets on his knees and proudly claims he’ll wipe the floor faster.

    They’re arguing over who can carry more hammocks, and hanging them up and distantly, he remembers that he was soaked to the bone, that time too, after dueling Kuina with wash cloths instead of swords. Cold water hanging off his body, dripping from his hair.

    He’s never felt so warm.

    i stare at that hallowed ocean / as if to pick a fight / for the dreams my old man dreamt for me lay on the other side

    “You talk in your sleep.”

    Sanji blinks, momentarily thrown. “So? Does it bother you?”

    He can always sleep on the couch in the galley, if it’s truly bothersome, but Zoro shakes his head, fingering the edge of the sake bottle, and what comes out of his mouth next nearly makes Sanji’s heart stop, “Stad. A’m fhèn mi.”

    The pronunciation is garbled, but the meaning is present, and Sanji stuffs his hands into his pockets before Zoro can see them shake.

    Summary

    If you had magic, what would you do with it?
    Sanji knows what he'd do. He'd clean messes and lift heavy cargo and hide himself from the Vinsmokes forever. Magic is a practical skill, not a weapon. But not everyone in Germa agrees with his sentiments, and magic in the wrong hands is deadly.
    After a group of powerful spellcasters storm the castle, Sanji has to figure out just how far he's willing to go to keep his magic out of his father's reach.

    The kick connected so forcefully that sparks flew, crackling against the man's bare skin. But he did not turn to ash as Sanji had feared. No, he took the hit dead on and stood his ground, the aftershocks of it hissing out of his clenched teeth as smoke.

    Sweat dripped down the man's face, breath heavy and tinged gray, his good eye wide as he stared at Sanji with clear delight. He was happy Sanji didn't hold back.

    “That's more like it.” The man said, voice muffled by the sword. He was grinning, a nasty, bloodthirsty type of smile that sent shivers down Sanji's spine. “Are we gonna do this or what?”

    Summary

    Zoro’s broke and in need of a cheap yet effective way to confess his feelings to Sanji before the love-cook beats him to it.

    Enter Franky: the perfect man for the job.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Out of the countless times Sanji’s hauled his ass up to the crow’s nest, he’s never felt so winded. Open-mouthed breaths fan the wooden latch as he attempts to center himself amidst the summer climate’s heady spell. It feels like a roux simmering in the cavity between his skull and brain, the haze thickening with each rung he ascended.

    But he made it. He can finally get Zoro off—

    Tell Zoro off. Tell.

    She gives him a serene smile. “Well, it’s either that or they’ll both get their hearts broken and inflict insurmountable damage on each other as a result of their grief. Possibly dooming the rest of us in the process if they get distracted during a battle.”

    There’s a groan from over by the toolbox.

    Babe! We have talked about this!”
