Summary
Sanji scowls behind his sunglasses. He’s draped in heat, under an umbrella in a bright patterned shirt, large waffle with a dollop of melting whipped cream and a coffee-stained mug on the table in front of him. Further out on the patio, a whole group of screaming kids jump into the pool in sonorous succession.
“Relaxing is a scam.”
Zoro gives him one of those multilayered grumpy looks.
“It’s fraudulent. We’ve been defrauded.”
~~~
Zoro and Sanji go undercover at a fancy resort to take on a mysterious enemy. What could go wrong?

Summary
Zoro is nothing if not a good protector. But when it's Sanji's turn to receive that protection, he feels conflicted. Sanji spent his early life wishing someone would protect him. But that was years ago, and he doesn't need protecting anymore. Certainly not by Zoro.
Or, Sanji falls overboard, and Zoro jumps in after him.

Summary
Usopp, always one to fill the gaps, pitched in. “Where’s your third earring?”
Way to focus on the important shit, Sanji thought wryly, guiltily ignoring that the question had burdened his mind as well.
“On a decapitated head.”
And there was a lot about that sentence—that one, monotone sentence—that struck discord. Sanji, apparently, was not the only one who thought so.
“Bro, what?” Franky whispered from around the back. It was followed by Brook’s disturbed and dampened ohohohos.
“Zoro.” It was Chopper this time. Small and timid. “What happened to you?”
“I made a promise,” Zoro said, tilting his head back and closing his eye. His blood-splattered hands spread wide by his hips, palms forward, and it looked strangely religious, the way he angled towards the sun. “And I kept it.”

You mean to open your mouth to refuse.
You really do.
“... Fine. Just don’t... don’t expect anything from me. I don’t have anything left to give. Not to you, not to anyone. Not even to myself. I’m... I’m not going be considerate of you.” You watch closely as something in Dirk’s expression shifts and relaxes, and he nods.
“That’s more than fine by me,” and you feel yourself exhale. You didn’t know you were holding your breath.

Summary
In which I vaguely follow TVD canon and write the soulmate/werewolf mating AU which absolutely no one asked for.
OR
The one in which Klaus finds his soulmate, gets bitten, hides his mating mark from her and waits for the day she'll let him give her one back. Fluffy, mildly angsty slow burn with possible super hot hybrid smut in later chapters.

Summary
"I'm deciding," Sukuna finally drawls. He cocks his head and his gaze wanders up and down Yuuji's form, "If I should kill you slowly for your insolence or save you from bleeding out."
Yuuji’s eyes narrow and danger raises the hairs on the back of his neck. The situation has changed so suddenly, and definitely for the worse, and it bears down on him and sets his heart alight. Still, he refuses to back down.
"Why would you want to save me?"
"To appease my boredom," The curse answers easily with the gesture of an elegant wrist, "My normal sources of entertainment don't sate me the way they used to."
--Jujutsu Sorcerer Itadori Yuuji continues to have not-so chance encounters with the King of Curses.

Summary
Balling his fists in anger was to be expected. But instead of raising them to challenge the King of Curses as he had once before, Yuji shoved them into his pockets before turning his attention to the ceiling and presumably, the world beyond Sukuna's domain.
“So, what? Did I die again?”
“No. Dying would have been preferred.”
“Preferred... To what?”
❤ Sukuna has been trapped within the confines of his innate domain since his awakening. After a mission goes array, Yuji finds himself in the same predicament, both sealed away from the outside world without as clue as to who is responsible, though Sukuna does not go without pointing fingers. With only each other for company and their chances of being freed growing lower by the day, they'll soon learn that there are worse things than being stuck with the bane of your existence, such as the consequences of forming attachment.

Summary
“How can I help them?” Zoro cried, letting Kuina wrap him into a tight hug as they watched the path of the bruises marching along Zoro's skin.
“Write something to them, write something to show them they’re not alone,” Kuina said. Without thinking, without planning, Zoro grabbed a pen and scrawled out on his arm: “I am your soulmate. I am here. You are not alone. I’m going to help you.”

Summary
Postman Sanji delivers and sends letters for the soldiers at Camp East Blue.
---
The bell above the door chimed, and he looked up eagerly, a familiar figure skulking into the post office.
“Welcome back,” he said cheerfully to the young sergeant with bright green hair, Roronoa Zoro from the return address on his letters. Zoro nodded at him, grey eyes piercing as he placed another letter on the table along with exact change. He always came at the same time, half an hour after lunch. Sanji had seen him once, sitting alone and writing his daily letter, always addressed to the same person, Shimotsuki Kuina.

Summary
"Surely there were any number of perfectly logical, non-catastrophic reasons why it would be so quiet, even as Sanji began making his way up onto the deck of the ship.
Maybe the mosshead was training or napping on the ship instead of keeping watch, or perhaps one of the lovely ladies had returned to the ship and were occupying their time quietly reading, or maybe—
"SURPRISE!!"
—Or maybe everyone was just hiding on the ship so they could jump out and give him a fucking heart attack."
~~~
The Strawhats decide to throw a surprise party for Sanji's birthday. Sanji certainly ends up surprised, though not exactly in the way he was anticipating.

Summary
Sanji thought he had escaped the bitter cold and snowy weather of the North Blue when he'd escaped Germa, but was thrown right back into his frigid past every time they stopped at a winter island. Zoro, who was born in the tropical East Blue, hadn't experienced a real winter before entering the Grand Line and had quickly decided that he hated everything about it.
Sanji makes up his mind to teach Zoro that the cold isn't all bad, and learns a few things about himself along the way.
