Zosan cat fic anthology (plus the tiger Zoro figure I had just finished making a little while ago!)

Fic links, comments and a photo of my cat below:

Having read a few zosan cat-related fics, I thought it would be really fun to make a small, cat themed zosan anthology, and here it is! To my delight, I found a paw print font (pawprints on defont) but to my annoyance it had no option to have no pawprints on the letters which made it look too busy, nor was there already a version of the font without pawprints, so for the first time I broke out fontforge to make my own version of the font in which I dropped the pawprints. I also drew little cat Zoros and Sanji's for each of the main stories title pages; bookbinding really is a good mash of different hobbies and skills I swear. Also on the mention of other hobbies, I was well pleased that I finished the book and my tiger Zoro figure relatively closely so I could take a photo of them together; here's the post for more photos of the figure and the post for the progress pics!

Also amusingly, when I originally was putting together the anthology, I had not added the second part of stay, and had assumed it would be a somewhat thinner small volume then it is... Which is rather incorrect. I do have to say it's a truly delightful proportion, being this thick and small! I'm also quite pleased at how the cover turned out, with the little gold pawprints. Originally for the title I was going to find a different name and then just went for the one I had originally named the file after, since it's well themed. Wait actually I think I was going to use ships cat and just now realized that... Ooops. Oh well. Also, as a bonus: here's my old cat hanging out on my lap while I was working on the gold foiling!

Fics include:

Stay by @itsmylifekay (NW, 21.5 k)

Sanji doesn't know what he's done in a past life to deserve this, but somehow when Zoro gets turned into a cat he's the one stuck on babysitting duty. How someone that small can cause so much trouble, he'll never understand.

But even after all the hell he's put through, he still manages to fall in love.

Without Words (NW, 3.8 k)

(stay part ii)

Sanji likes to dote on the people he cares about, likes to express himself fully and without reservation. But sometimes that’s hard to do living on a pirate ship, especially when the person he wants to be affectionate with is a prickly, stubborn asshole of a man.

Or, Zoro gets a bath.

Cat's Cradle by Hazel_Athena (T, 21.5k)

In which a run in with a new Devil Fruit user leaves Sanji with an unexpectedly furry problem.

Ship's Cat by @helloharubo (T, 3k)

The Going Merry has a mouse infestation. Despite Usopp's attempts, Sanji has yet to find a solution to the problem. Enter Zoro, the world's deadliest mouser.

or

Zoro is the ship's cat and expects rewards.

Lately when I think about the cannon timeline I kind of think about star crossed lovers zosan. Like, they constantly just miss each other in terms of emotional availability. Even if they start messing around early on, they're never on the same page when it comes to their actual relationship. Zoro falls in love with Sanji mere weeks after meeting him, and Sanji refuses to acknowledge that he has any attraction to men. Sanji realizes he could maybe really like Zoro at thriller bark, meanwhile Zoro decides at sabaody that he won't let unnecessary feeling distract him from his training- being nakama is enough. Sanji comes back from Momoiro Island knowing he is emotionally ready for something with Zoro, but Zoro comes back determined to be content with what he has. Sanji decides to leave everything behind when he leaves for Whole Cake Island- especially his feelings for Zoro; Zoro realizes he can't keep pretending he doesn't love Sanji when faced with his absence. Zoro being so happy to have Sanji back, but Sanji can't get passed the guilt of leaving in the first place. Zoro planning his future with Sanji in mind, Sanji plotting his own death at the hands of Zoro.

Just like. Them being aware of something between them- but never having the right moment to acknowledge it. Knowing they both feel the same way- but also accepting neither of them will be ready for it at the same time.

This was my request fill for the One Piece Fanwork Exchange back in April that I posted on AO3. The zosan prompt was "two pining idiots"

I've been debating for months whether to post it on tumblr since long vertical comics often don't look good in the thumbnails, still not sure I'm too happy with that bit.

happy birthday brook @everybrook (x)

[ID: One Piece fanart in the form of a vertical four-panel comic strip, a parody of the linked Fullmetal Alchemist extra. The characters are all shown from the chest up and colored, and the backgrounds are white. In the first panel, Brook and Franky are looking at a photograph, not visible to the viewer. 

Brook: …And here’s another one of Laboon! Franky: And he’s still so cute!

Sanji, approaching: What’re you guys up to? Brook: Looking at my old photos. Franky, holding up a photograph: Wanna see?

Sanji, looking at the photograph: Brook’s old photos, huh… ?

The last panel shows the photograph that Sanji is holding. It is of Brook as a baby skeleton, swaddled in a blue blanket, with the written caption “Brook - 6 months.” Off-screen, Sanji says “Wait just a second.”

End ID.]
