Summary
Second chances are a rare gift.
Ten years ago, when they parted ways, it had felt like the end of a dream. In another universe, it would have been. But circumstances have conspired to bring them back together and now--
Well. If life gives you a second chance, what’s left to do but seize it?Series

Summary
“--you’ve been accused of using your exes as fodder for your songs.”
The channel it’s on is playing one of those gossip shows, the kind Geralt never pays any mind to. But the show’s guest has grabbed his attention, his heart in his throat. Foolish, to still get this affected after all these years, but--
“Well, yes, of course I have. It’s not my fault I’ve apparently dated the most interesting people in the Continent,” Jaskier replies, tone light and amused and perhaps just a little bit offended. He’s even older now than the last time Geralt saw him giving an interview, his hair longer. There are a few lines around his mouth and eyes and Geralt’s heart aches for some reason. “And it’s like-- where do you want me to get inspiration from then?” he continues with a cheerful little chuckle, all charm. -

Summary
“You know, you shouldn’t be bringing random strangers to your house, for the kids’s sake if nothing else.”
Shanks gives him an unimpressed look, one eyebrow raised. “You’re hardly a stranger, Bugs,” he argues as he places a plate in front of him before going back to the stove. “Although I suppose it’s been a while since you were here.”
And with good reason too! They broke up almost two decades ago, but they keep falling back together every so often. They have never officially gotten back together again, but there have been times--
“Yes, well. Point is, don’t bring your hook ups here. What sort of example are you setting for Uta, huh? Or Luffy?” -

The slave has no memories of his past. No past and certainly no future.
All he has are his dreams (if only he could make sense of them) -

Summary
In retrospect, it was obviously a trap.
Perhaps Shanks had been a little too cocky, biting more than he could chew. He had no real business getting so close to Mary Geoise; it’s not like he cares about riches and treasure all that much and adventure is easy to find literally anywhere else in the Grand Line. Nothing good could come from getting mixed into Celestial Dragons’s business and honestly, the very fact they had gotten wind of this rumor at all should have been his first clue that not everything was what it seemed.Or
Shanks and Shamrock meet.

Summary
If there’s such a thing as fate, the future is as unchangeable as the past. Things can never go back to what they were.
Is that such a bad thing, though?

Summary
Karai Bari is well known for the many entertainment venues it offers: bars, casinos and the like, but the main attraction is their Theater. While all kinds of performances are presented there, their burlesque shows are legendary.
Blue Diamond is the Theather’s flashiest star: people from all around the world come to see her perform, kings and billionaires lay their fortunes at her feet only to see her smile.
Not even an Emperor of the Sea can hope to catch Blue Diamond’s attention, let alone hold it.
But Shanks is more than just an Emperor and there’s more to Blue Diamond than what meets the eye.Series

Summary
Gender, be it primary or secondary, is not a thing Zoro has ever bothered much with; it's just one of those concepts that he couldn't care less about. It always seemed like such a stupid thing, an excuse for people to be assholes, an excuse for weakness and low self control. He doesn't make excuses for himself and he certainly doesn't tolerate them from others.
Unfortunately, the rest of the world seems a little too concerned with his secondary gender, a whole set of expectations placed upon him just because he's an omega.
And then there's Luffy. -
