    Summary

    Through him, Keiji realizes once they’re close, the dark looming shapes of the cliffs pressing closer as the road narrows between them. Miya hadn’t been staring at him at the train station; he was staring through him. Like he’d been trying to imagine the landscape back into place without Keiji interrupting it. Like Keiji wasn’t there at all.

    On coming and going, and going.

    Summary

    Mihawk knew from the moment he saw Shanks Akagami walk in on his first day at the office wearing flip-flops and swaggering in cargo shorts, that the charismatic redhead would prove to be nothing but trouble. Of course, Mihawk is rarely—if ever—wrong, and Shanks proves to be exactly what Mihawk expects: trouble.

    Irresistible, cocky, and good-looking trouble.

    Yet, to Mihawk’s credit, he’s never shied away from a challenge, and he certainly won’t cower in the face of a man who smiles brighter than the sun and acts as if he’s god’s gift to man. If anything, Mihawk has something to prove, and it’s that he will not be just another among many who fall for Akagami’s charms. It doesn’t matter how hot Shanks is, or how intently he stares, or how infuriatingly easy it is for Shanks to dig under Mihawk’s skin—Mihawk will not be swayed.

    Except, being swayed is the least of Mihawk’s concerns, especially when Shanks decides to rock his entire world instead.

    Summary

    “Sanji,” Nami repeats again, and Sanji swallows past the words still trying to come out as she reaches out and gently takes his arm with a delicate hand, “maybe… maybe this is less about what Zoro is doing, and more about what you’re feeling?”

    He pauses, staring at her with wide eyes, and he can’t help the way the blood starts to rush in his ears.

    Or, five times Zoro kisses Sanji, and the one time Sanji kisses Zoro.
