Summary
Where Yuki’s headphones customarily sit, curled gently around the slender column of his neck, there is a soft collar of rumbling black fluff.
“We have a cat,” Yuki says.
He says it like a fact, like something everyone should already know; like, the sun is bright, and Haiji is a monster, and, apparently, we have a cat.

Summary
“You get along well with Yuki,” he says softly, not looking away from the eggs he’s frying for lunch. “Don’t you?”
“Well enough, I guess,” Nico says, finally, looking up in time to meet Haiji’s gaze when he turns around.
“It’s good he has you to look out for him,” Haiji says finally, features softening as he smiles, lips curling up gently. “You’re good for each other.”
Nico stares at him for a moment, letting the words settle around him. It’s not how he would have phrased his relationship with Yuki, half antagonism and half snarky camaraderie, but something about Haiji’s words rings true nonetheless.

Summary
Haiji laughs again: a small, quiet thing, barely more than a breath, but Kakeru can still hear it. Haiji’s smiling, though, soft and fond and proud, and Kakeru can’t help but smile back, even as he gives in and pulls Haiji closer, letting Haiji lean into him more, taking more of his weight so it’s not all resting on Haiji’s knee. They’re so close now, closer than Kakeru thinks he’s ever been to Haiji.
Haiji’s hand moves from where it had been clenched in Kakeru’s jacket; he wraps his long fingers around Kakeru’s wrist instead, high against the curve of his hand, his thumb curling until it presses gently against the hollow of Kakeru’s palm.
“Kakeru,” Haiji says, eyes shining, his mouth curving soft and sweet and beautiful like the empty road. “Don’t you understand? You make everything seem possible.”

Summary
They sit in silence for another long minute, Haiji’s eyes drifting to the stars again, listening to the quiet sound of Nico’s fingers tapping together, restless again without something to occupy them.
“So if Kakeru is longform poetry,” Nico says finally, “what are the rest of us?”
Haiji laughs, sudden, unaccountably delighted by the unexpected question. He tips his head side-to-side slightly, thinking it over.
(Or: Haiji and Nico talk about friendship and self-worth and belonging, but mostly about poetry)

Summary
He first sees the picture in the paper when he's letting himself out of the hospital, doctor's orders be damned, bandage on his forehead and cuts on his hands and bruises all along his body, and one of his aides hands him the paper and says, "Guess you're gonna have to meet-and-greet the guy who saved your life, sir."

it gets so hard to breathe (when you're looking at me) by Resacon1990

Summary
Sanji laughs, unable to help himself, and Zoro’s smile grows wider as he joins him. It’s fascinating to Sanji, to hear Zoro’s laugh for the second time today. Something that’s usually so rare that they’d all wondered if it had been lost in their time away from one another, and yet here Sanji sits watching Zoro close his eye, his hand still pushing his hair back as he tilts back his head, a carefree laugh rumbling from somewhere deep and wonderful in his chest as he glows warm and golden under the setting sun.
It’s captivating, and as Sanji’s heart lurches deep down against his ribs, he isn’t entirely sure he can deny why.
Or, five times Sanji falls in love with Zoro, and the one time he does something about it.

Summary
Sanji will just go knock. Appease his own sense of responsibility, get yelled off, and come back to his own bed knowing he tried. It’s the least he owes the frustrating marimo, as crewmates; to at least make sure he’s got options.

Summary
What if it was all as simple as asking, Zoro thought. Everything coming down to him just opening his mouth and saying a few words, rather than waiting, or fighting, or watching. What if being a man of action wasn't quite enough anymore, now that he wasn't some lone bounty hunter.

Summary
Sanji lifted it out of the box, seeing the thin straps and lace trim, and—worse still—the matching underwear that was sitting beneath the camisole. He dropped it like he'd been scalded, fumbling to shove the box back into Inazuma’s hands. She didn’t take it.
“I—what the f—why would you give me this?” he sputtered, too angry and insulted to be coherent.
“You seemed curious, that’s all.”
“Well, I’m not,” he gritted out. “I’m not into all this shit like you people, I don’t know why you all won’t just leave me alone! First Iva, now you? Aren’t you bored of trying to trick me all the time?”
Her smile turned sad as she reached out to place a soft hand on his arm.
“It’s not a trap, Sanji. It’s a choice.”Sanji brings back souvenirs and unravelling issues from the Kamabakka Kingdom.
