    Summary

    Zoro can’t help but wonder if bad dreams have been the catalyst for every stock take and rationed supply, how many times nightmares have tangled with the necessity of checking what they have so that none of them die at sea.

    Last night had been the first time Zoro noticed, but he himself has woken with phantom pains from unconscious memories forced to the forefront of his mind many, many nights. Luffy has woken him a few times with snot dripping from his nose, seeking comfort, wracked with memories of Ace. Franky doesn’t like loud noises, as flashy as he is, and maybe the reason Brook sometimes refuses to come to bed is because he too is haunted by things that have happened in his past.

    Perhaps Zoro noticed for the first time last night, but the cook is seasoned at having to find comfort within himself.

    Summary

    Sanji awakens to the feeling of his heart drumming through his chest, loud-hard-painful thuds that echo in the hollow chambers of his ribs. It’s electric; it’s defibrillation and reignition; it’s the rattling of music down in his bones.
    Somehow, he knows, Luffy is back.

    Sanji relives the raid on Onigashima. Over

    and over

    and over

    and over

    again.

    Summary

    Luffy finds a dragon at the bottom of Sanji's teapot and Sanji won't tell him he sees only the wet tangle of black leaves in a halfhearted swirl. His attention is on the dishes from dinner waiting in the sink, and the pie crust for tomorrow's dessert.

    "I see it, why can't you?" Luffy asks anyway, knowing.

    "I see it," says Sanji.

    Summary

    It’s a terrible, lovely thing that Zoro holds in his hands, Sanji’s red, red heart. And so Zoro counts each beat echoing across the space between them, his ears uniquely tuned to the sound, until it’s all he can hear. It’s the rhythm by which he measures his life, ever since the day he laid eyes on the cook of the floating restaurant in the East Blue. Beat by beat by beat.

    And still, Sanji asks. He gave Zoro his heart in every way except the way Zoro wants the most, and still, he has to ask.

    That night in Onigashima, Sanji trusted Zoro with his life. Or, maybe more accurately, his death. But then they leave Wano and Sanji’s still himself, so Zoro’s pretty sure that the promise he made will never come to pass.

    Things change when Sanji’s emotions start to slip away.
