Summary
It was easy to forget, sometimes, that everyone in the New World was there for a reason. With how strong the Strawhats had gotten, with how strong he had gotten, the thought that they could ever be hurt, let alone defeated, crossed Zoro’s mind less and less. It was at times like these, however, when he remembered. When he couldn’t afford to forget.
Everyone in the New World was there for a reason. Everyone in the New World was there because they were powerful – powerful enough to survive the absolute insanity that came with the Grand Line. And sometimes – just sometimes – even the Strawhats were faced with a dilemma like this.
Zoro looked at his nakama, fallen apart, and wanted his captain.
---
The Strawhats underestimate a group of marines, and face the consequences.

Summary
“Robin-chan!” He shouted, his voice strained but carrying across the empty street to the receding tram nonetheless. Robin had been struggling to her feet, pushing off the hands of the people helping her up, looking for a way to get back to him, crossing her arms in front of her in vain, desperately trying to find a way to get him back – but she paused at his call, and he saw her look back at him. He kept smiling. “Go get Luffy – I’ll be waiting!”
The tram turned a corner and was gone, taking Robin safely with it. He kept watching the empty street, finally letting his smile drop as heavy footsteps approached. Gleaming black shoes filled his vision, and Sanji stared resolutely ahead as the man from before crouched by his side.
“Sacrificing yourself, eh? How noble.” Sanji snorted, curling his lip.
“Hardly,” he said, placing all of his conviction into his words. “Robin-chan will be back for me, and she’ll bring far more than you and your shitty henchmen can handle.”

Summary
It had been one name, shouted in the heat of battle, that had stuck in Nami’s head. Yonji. She had turned at the sound of it, confused. Wondering if she’d misheard through the protective earplugs. Wondering how these people could have gone through so much trouble to steal her friend just to end up getting his name wrong – but then Sanji’s brother, the green-haired one, he’d turned too. And Nami had realised there had been no mistake – that was his name. Yonji.
Sanji.
Sanji and Yonji.
---
A series of one-shots set during the journey from WCI to Wano, and the aftermath of the huge amount of trauma Sanji suffered at the hands of the Vinsmokes and Big Mom.

Summary
It had occurred to him at some point after they had left Wano Kuni that the Vinsmokes must have passed through nearby waters, since Whole Cake Island had been so close.
Which was why, when the Strawhats docked at the first island they spotted after leaving Wano, Sanji was so nervous he almost considered staying on the ship while the rest of the crew explored the town.
—
The Strawhats make their first stop after Wano, and begin to understand that the Vinsmoke name isn’t so easily left behind.

Summary
He'd been walking towards the door. He'd wanted to leave, had been desperate to leave. The explosion had come from in front of him; he remembered being thrown backwards by the force of it. But then - he also remembered the same feeling from behind him just a few seconds later, and then the sound of a third explosion from the side -
We were bombed, he realised, and almost laughed.
Of course. Of course, during the one and only solo diplomatic mission that Keith had ever been sent on, something like this would happen. Of course.
--
Keith is sent to negotiate a peace treaty with an alien community, but things go very, very wrong.

Summary
Sanji’s brow furrows and he asks, “You ever go hungry?”
Zoro nods imperceptibly, thoughts flickering over those memories. Being young and full of spit, eager to take a bull by the horns and cut it down. “A few times. Early in my bounty hunting career.”
“No.” The word grinds out between clenched teeth, Sanji’s jaw working. For a second, Zoro can see the other eye and the maniac fire rising in both. “You ever go hungry?”

Summary
“If you’re going to lie in my body, Sanji-kun, you have to know that I’ll be able to tell.” She finishes her cigarette and finds herself reaching for a second, passing the last one back to Sanji who copies her in lighting it.
He takes several drags before he talks again. “What does it matter anyway?”
She shrugs. “It doesn’t.”

Summary
The paladins dispersed, Hunk and Pidge immediately disappeared. Lance went to go follow them, but he noticed how Keith hovered around Shiro, unsure what to do. Lance glanced at the yellow and green paladins before he glanced back at Keith. As much as Lance wanted to wrinkle his nose at the thought of inviting Keith, he really looked like he could use a distraction. So with that, Lance swallowed his pride and walked up to them.
“Hey Keith, I was gonna go check out their carnival games, wanna come?” Lance offered. Keith hesitantly glanced at him before looking at Shiro, as if asking for permission.
Keith and Shiro exchanged a glance before Shiro nudged him with his shoulder. “Go ahead. I’ll be fine,” Shiro said.
Keith gave one last look at Shiro before reluctantly agreeing. “Okay.”Or, after freeing an alien planet, Lance and Keith go hang out, but apparently people can't leave the "Galra-paladin thing" alone.

So, yeah. He was dying. That was a thing. Even if the other Paladins could find him and get to him, they probably wouldn’t be quick enough, not with the way he was losing blood.

Summary
Keith is made of fire.
Resolve burns through his core, like molten rock churning its way through the lava that courses through his veins. Hot and raw and fiery. It’s not quite anger. It’s just fire, and it spreads into everything he does so easily and chaotically. The starry sea they fly through becomes ablaze when he’s piloting - sometimes literally when he and Red unleash the firepower. His eyes flicker and fire dances in them when Pidge says she wants to leave the team. There’s the dulled dwindling embers longing to be rekindled when the group are sat together in the morning, when Keith takes the risk to melt into the moment and squeeze himself into scenes he’s never been a part of before. And then there’s sweltering infernos that are unyielding and untamed as he charges into enemy lines, fights to protect and defend.
Keith is made of fire.
So when the flames turn against him suddenly, it never fails to come as a surprise.
