    Summary

    Despite the fever and the barely-healed burn scar, the boy’s fast. June avoids his blade, but still he jams his limbs into her, desperate to scratch and kick and bite off her hand…

    (Just like a baby shirshu, spitting poison from behind the bars of its cage. The comparison shouldn't be so endearing.)

    Or: the AU where Zuko flees the palace after his Agni Kai, running right into Nyla and June.

    Summary

    Maelle looks at the mirror shards scattered across the floor, a disarray of sharp and jagged pieces that can never be put back together again. "I know you’re not him..." she admits in a shaky whisper. Her tear-filled eyes find Verso, the blues and greys of paint starting to unravel the edges of them, mocking him. "But you deserve to be happy,” she says. We deserve to be happy, she means.

    “I deserve to be myself,” Verso says, and it sounds like a plea more than anything else. The skin around his left eye aches, as if it’s waiting for his scar’s return.

    Maelle sighs before she sweeps her hand through the air, calling for her rapier. It appears in a flutter of gold petals, glimmering in the dim light of the bathroom. Her eyes are cast in shadow and her disappointed smile is somewhat crooked. "Alright. Let's try again."

    or: Maelle wants a happy end for everyone she cares about, and she will keep trying until even Verso gets it right.

    Summary

    “The execution isn’t about Whitebeard,” Koby blurts out before he can talk himself out of it.

    He resists the urge to squeeze his eyes shut, but all he gets for his efforts is a neatly raised eyebrow. Not that the skepticism in Helmeppo’s expression is entirely unwarranted – all anyone around them has talked about in the past week has been A War With Whitebeard – but it still makes him squirm. It’s still technically a secret, and he still hasn’t technically told, so he can bite his tongue now and try to fall asleep. But they’re going to fight a war in the morning, and no matter how it ends, Koby doubts that by the time the dust settles this will still matter.

    Koby wants it to matter.

    “Portgas D. Ace,” Koby forces himself to say, his heart in his throat and someone else’s secret bitter on his tongue, “is Gold Roger’s son.”

    Summary

    It’s a face Law can recognise in his sleep, thing is. Oh, his memory, ever-fallible and ever-cruel, has dulled the details over the years. But when he sees the face again (changed though it may be, paler and hollow-cheeked), in his mind’s eye it snaps once again into perfect clarity. It’s like rereading a passage from a well-loved book – a few sentences in, and you find yourself quoting the rest off by heart.

    Or maybe it’s like seeing a ghost.

    “Law,” the stranger says, sounding remarkably like he’s also seeing a ghost. Law wonders if he is professionally qualified to diagnose his own psychotic break.

    Summary

    “It’s poison. It is, by definition, harmful,” Law hisses.

    “It’s already done its job, young man. It can’t kill me twice,” Brook counters sternly.

    These days, Brook can see death upon the people around him.

    And Trafalgar Law? Well, he's absolutely drowning in it.
