snail! my favorite writer, my idol, i have a request.

i am sick at the moment (it's not bad but it's not great) and i had a thought: the one piece men caring for their sick partner.

honestly just thought it would be cute and fluffy. and since you (in my humble opinion) are the best writer, would you consider writing this little drabble, this little writing exercise?

like it could be the straw hats or it could be cross guild, take your pick.

sincerely,

your #1 fan :)

Pulling a Galadriel, my dear sweetheart: “I asked her for one hair from her golden head… and she gave me three.” And three, my dear, you shall have. Sending my love and desire for a swift recovery for you @bonedaddi3!

Get Well Soon

As your illness spreads through your body, you realize your every fiber is aching with each small movement. Your performance is dropping, your energy is dwindling. The overwhelming desire to sleep where you stand has you cathartic and longing for its quick slumber to claim you in its restful embrace.

Zoro

From his reclined position lying on the deck of the going merry, his skin basking like a reptile under the heat of the glowing sun; he peeked through the smallest crack of his eyelids to examine you. Huffing out a breath of frustration, he growls as he immediately springs up to his feet and charges at you. As he drew himself as close to you as he could without touching you, narrowing his eyes and furrowing his brows at you. 

Exhausted, you forced your chin upwards and looked at the first-mate through half-hooded eyes and attempted a lazy smile at him. This seemed to force his scowl deeper, his eyes more intense as he crouched down and immediately grasped the back of your knees to thrust you over his shoulder and effortlessly carry you below decks. 

“Zoro! What are you doing?” you shrieked, huffing as the world began to swirl further in your grogginess. He grunts in response, using his heavy boots to kick his way through doors rather than to utilize his free hand.

As you witnessed the light of the sun begin to become shielded by the hallway’s door, you physically slumped against the wide and muscular shoulders of the swordsman. After several further turns and doors open, you find yourself being unceremoniously thrown onto the plush mattress of your bed. As soon as your back meets with the duvet, you begin to hastily rise up onto your elbows behind you - only to find yourself met with the splayed fingertips and open palm pushing you back onto the bed. 

“Sleep,” he growled at you, his frown continuing to hold firm and unwavering on his face. 

“But I-,” you began, your words being removed from your lips by another hard shove onto the mattress and another command from the first mate. 

“-Sleep,” he again commanded, holding his hand firmly atop your chest and giving you on last little shove to hold you in place before removing his hand from your chest and stomping his heavy footsteps over to the door. He halted one final time, fingers almost brushing with the door handle before he turned back around and briskly walked back over to you. 

Hesitantly, he stooped low and pressed his chapped lips atop your burning forehead. This gentle gesture from the first-mate had your eyes widening and heart pounding within your chest, his kiss feeling completely foreign but not unwelcome. As he drew his lips away from your head, his cheeks tinted with a small hue of pink, he uttered quietly.

“Get well soon.”

Sanji

As if sensing your illness before you had even truly allowed it to embrace you yourself, two strong arms immediately wove themselves around your shoulders with a heavy, weighted blanket. You couldn’t process the hastiness of his guidance, opting to wordlessly allow him to lead you wherever he decided to take you.

Circling your body in a cocoon, the chef of the going merry chaperoned you within his embrace into the kitchen and shepherded your body into the corner booth atop the comfortable pew. He looked over your face without his gaze meeting your eyes, adjusting the heavy duvet to circle around you and join at the front with ease. He crouched down and removed your shoes, tucking them beneath the suspended dining table and looking into your eyes. 

“Comfortable, dear?” He asked you, a warm smile adorning his lips as he stared his gray eyes deeply into your own. That small question is what finally broke you, the innocence in his face as he humbled himself before you had your heart soaring in appreciation. You allowed yourself a small nod to bob your head in confirmation. Sanji chuckled, placed a small, chaste kiss atop your knee and rose from his crouch towards the sink. 

Pouring burning water from the tap, he began soaping up his hands before retrieving a stainless-steel knife from his collection and sharpening rod. He began dragging the knife to and fro to ensure its peak condition twirling the blade between his fingers once he had finished.

“I’m going to make you something,” he declared, walking over to the fridge and flashing you a winning smile, “All you need to do is sit there, look pretty,” he shot you a small wink, “And get well soon.”

Mihawk

“Again,” he barked, watching as you fought through the pain to swing your claymore against the target and meet the board with a less than stellar connection. Mihawk’s displeasure was written all over his face, his eyes narrow and lips curled into a deep scowl.

“Run the drill again,” he commanded you, rising to his feet and stalking slowly to approach you. You huffed out a frustrated breath, your body screaming at you to stop forcing it to perform; but the overwhelming desire to please your mentor by serving him with your skill drove you on. 

His eyes scanned you, noticing your slight change in hue. The amount of sweat pouring from your temple down your chin didn’t seem to be in reaction to the drill you were running, but rather your lethargy in illness. But he refused to allow you the luxury of commanding you to stop. 

“My lord,” you panted, dropping the tip of the blade to the floor and keeling over in pain at your body’s inability to continue fighting, “My lord, I’m sorry. I’m letting you down. I just want to make you proud-.”

“-There is nothing you could ever do to make me less proud of you,” he sliced through your words and immediately found himself at your side, “And the greatest thing you can do when fighting an unwinnable battle is to ask for help.” He wove himself beneath your right arm, hoisting you up by hooking his right arm around your knees and cradling you into his chest with his left. 

As he raised you within his arms, you couldn’t help but lace your arms around his neck and shoulders as he carried you back towards the gloomy castle of Kuraigana. You placed your forehead against the skin of his bare shoulder, almost causing a small flinch at the elevated temperature from your mentor.

“Thank you,” you whispered into his flesh, closing your eyes as he carried you and beginning to fall into a slumber. Mihawk checked over you, watching as your breathing steadied as the final wave of exhaustion crashed against you and toppled you into bliss. 

“Allow me the luxury of nursing you back to health,” he whispered against your hairline, placing his lips gently atop your fallen strands, “I need you to get well soon, and I will do anything in my power to ensure you’re returned to your prime once more.”

[the-fluff-piece]

So both Zoro and Sanji are absolutely into y/n, causing both to constantly either fight over them or simultaneously being absolutely nice and interested in them, hanging out with them every day. The friend trio! They're even going so far as working together to do something nice for them regularly.

Y/n is misinterpreting everything, secretly shipping them and getting nosebleeds whenever their hands touch or they fight intensively.

Ending in a poly relationship where y/ns encouragement leads to actual Zosan.

[lgcnayoung]

to nayoung, it's amusing that the girls and boys got split up for the performances for the minifes, which was fine. but amusing all the same. at least the fans would probably be more controlled since she knew fangirls could go crazy for the boys groups at times that didn't quite appreciate the girl groups in the same way. but knowing fabula, crystallis, and nova's fans, there were probably some very appreciate fans in the crowd too. the performances felt like a whirlwind but it was nice to perform three songs in a row with nova; and their costumes for this event? very cute. the sparkly print attention to the skirts and ties were definitely a look. the photo op would be interesting. they weren't allowed to make contact but she wanted to have worthwhile poses for the fans too that didn't look too awkward.

something memorable. "hi! it's so nice to meet you," nayoung says, knowing she has to put on her best face and impression forward, especially as a rookie group. it's practically built into second nature now at this point, but it's also nice to know that bodyguards were literally two steps away. "did you have any poses you were thinking of? we could make a heart, or... do finger hearts, whichever you want to do! or something else?" the idol throws out some ideas, after greeting fan number one. "or if there is a trending pose that you'd like to do, you can show me and we can do that together." she wasn't the most versed on recent anime or tv shows, but she knew there were some trending poses out there. was the reverse gyaru pose already fading out of popularity...?

"oh that one? that works. lets get into position and hopefully i can balance. and don't worry, your hair looks lovely! what blush are you wearing?" she manages to quip out before the cameraperson tells them to pose with a countdown and she smiles at the camera with the fan. "good? good! thank you so much for your support and coming to visit us."

[jinxpologist]

They’d been waiting for news for so long. Wilbur tried not to think about it. 

The last time he saw Techno, they’d been at each other’s throats. Most people wouldn’t dare spit words at an angry Hokdian, but Wilbur wasn’t most people. He had rank and he wasn’t afraid to pull it—not that he would, not on his second-in-command. But they fought. Bitterly, roughly, like two children who didn’t know any damn better. Wilbur barely had the composure to wish him goodbye when the time came. Techno had just stared at him with that blank look that said nothing and everything and turned away without saying a word. 

That was weeks ago. He was supposed to call in after three days.

The last time it took this long to get news, the war went tails-up and Tellus nearly fucking lost. He had no intention of letting that happen again, had no intention of letting the children of his world fear for their lives as he did. (He would carry the weight of it forever, a block of lead lodged at the base of his spine like a bullet that he almost wished had killed him. Almost.)

There was barely anyone fucking left. They could not lose their best fleet. (He could not lose *him*.)

But he didn’t have a choice. He never had one when it mattered. So he tried to move on, to work. And when the news of a crushing defeat reached his desk, he was not prepared to learn there were no known survivors.

Minific

Daji comforting Hiromi after the Chameleon Deadman/Commander reveal.

Maybe some other Riders can help him out.

Poor Hiromi's had it rough these last few eps :(((

"Dai-chan, I brought some food..."

"Thanks, Mama, you can put it here." Daiji said, pointing vaguely to his desk, not taking his eyes off the man sleeping on his bed.

Yukimi laid the tray with a pitcher of water, glasses and snacks on his desk, glancing at the Fenix officer sleeping fitfully on her son's bed. "Poor thing," she sighed sadly, using the towel she had on her shoulder to wipe the sweat off his brow. "He's been through a lot, these last few days."

Daiji nodded. He hadn't told his mother the whole story- that the traitor they had discovered was a Deadman who masqueraded as their commanding officer for months. All he had told her was that someone close to them had betrayed them.

"Dai-chan." Daiji looked up, startled by his mother's stern voice. "Take care of him, alright? He needs you now more than ever."

"Mama...?" he asked, confused. "What do you mean?" He was sure he never told her about... that.

"Oh, my sweet boy, did you really think you can hide something like that from your Mama?" Yukimi caressed her son's cheek, smiling gently. "But that's a talk we can have another day. Right now, Hiromi-san should be your priority."

"Okay, Mama," he managed to say.

Yukimi kissed her son's brow, took one last glance at Hiromi, before leaving her son's room. Daiji adjusted his position on his cushion, trying to sit more comfortably as he looked over the older captain.

It was only a few minutes later that Hiromi started to stir. "...Daiji?" he asked, voice still hoarse. "Where am I...?"

"You're at my house," Daiji explained, standing up to pour Hiromi a glass of water. "Nii-chan and I brought you here."

"Ah. Thank you. Sorry for imposing like this..." Hiromi said, taking the offered drink and sipping at it slowly. All the while, the senior was visibly shaking, and his other hand was still clenched tightly in the blankets Daiji had put over him.

"Hiromi-san..." Daiji reached for the hand clutching the sheets. Hiromi jumped, the water in his glass splashing a little, and he stared at Daiji as if afraid. Daiji pulled away. "I'm sorry, was that..." he said awkwardly.

Hiromi blinked, looking at Daiji's hand hanging in the air between them. He set aside the half-finished glass, before turning to Daiji with a defeated expression.

"No, it's just..." He shuddered. "I... I don't understand... It's like... I can still feel that... that thing on me... I could still hear its voice in my head..." His shoulders shook. "Damn it... Why am I still so... I felt so pathetic... Not being able to shoot that thing. Even when I knew it wasn't him anymore..." he said frustratedly. "Even now... I don't know if I can do it, if he uses the Commander's face like that..." Hiromi looked at the other Rider.

"He was like family... you know? And I didn't even realize he was gone." Hiromi's voice shook. "I couldn't even save him... what am I doing, trying to be a hero...?" He looked at the Driver that was set aside by his bedside. "What did I do to deserve being a Kamen Rider?"

Daiji's heart cracked in his chest as he saw tears falling down the other's cheeks. "Hiromi-san..." He laid his hand once more on Hiromi's, and this time, the other relaxed at his touch, his fingers loosening from their tight hold on the sheets.

"Please, stop beating yourself up like this. It's not your fault. It fooled all of us. The only thing to blame in this situation is the Deadmans." Daiji told him.

"And you are deserving of being a Kamen Rider. You'd put your life on the line to protect anyone, even my sister's demon... You keep on fighting even when you're not able to transform... You're stronger than even you realize, Hiromi-san." Daiji said. "In my eyes, you are a hero. And the Commander- the real one- would be proud of you."

"Daiji..." Hiromi whispered. He was still crying, but he wiped his eyes and managed a small smile. "You're too good to me... but that's exactly why I like you so much."

"Eh? L-Like? M-Me?" Daiji stammered, his face heating up as Hiromi threaded his fingers through his. "What...?" He asked, as Hiromi's lips brushed his. "Hiromi-san?"

"Thank you, Daiji."

Life With Kittens

“Um... well... ah...”

Adrien and Marinette leaned in, eyebrows furrowed and lips turned down. They’d been stuck in the waiting room for hours because their OBGYN had a sudden delivery, and they were both antsy from the wait.

The doctor took in a deep breath, still looking down at her clipboard. “It seems that you two are having... decuplets.”

Adrien’s jaw dropped. Plagg and Tikki both had mentioned that multiple births were a possibility due to the miraculous’ influence, but he thought that meant, like, two or three. Not ten.

He turned to look at Marinette, who seemed to finally be pulling herself out of her trance, just to start laughing in the doctor’s face. She got up and walked out the door, still laughing.

The doctor nodded slowly. “I think she’s taking it well.”

Marinette stuck her head back in and let out another, over-exaggerated laugh, but before she could run out again, Adrien grabbed her hand and pulled her back in.

“Oddly enough, they all seem to be perfectly healthy, which is... unheard of,” the doctor explained. “Decuplets are unheard of. Ordinarily, I’d recommend selective abortion, but they all seem fine. I’m going to need to see you back at least once every week due to the risk factor.”

Adrien and Marinette spared a look at each other, apprehensive, but... actually, no, just apprehensive.

That Thing I Like (One-Shot)

You were friends first, only ever friends; until a night of drinking led to something more. After that one night, you decided to not speak on it and remain only as close friends; an outcome you both could respect as captain and crewmate.

Do they shy away, or do they respond in kind? Sanji, Zoro, Luffy, Law, Kid

I Can Fix This

This is for the @lovebugs-and-snakecharmers 2022 August Minific Challenge. 

Basic premise: What if Truth hadn’t been a lukanette speed run? What if they’d actually been given a chance? (Otherwise known as: in which Panda writes her own canon.) 

Marinette is finally back home and able to process her disappointment about her failed date with Luka.

Read on Ao3

First Chapter | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Day 6: Crying

As soon as she was back in her bed, she detransformed and pulled the covers up over her head as her disappointed tears started flowing. 

It wasn’t fair. 

She was supposed to be spending tonight with Luka. Her—well, they hadn’t labeled it or anything, but it had definitely been a date with him and instead she’d spent the entire night battling a giant toddler. 

She heard a gentle tap on her trap door. Her maman, coming to check on her. Under the covers, she swiped at her face and tried to dry her eyes. She had to look sick, because that’d been her excuse, but it wasn’t exactly hard for her to look sick nowadays. 

“Marinette?” a familiar male voice called, and she peeked over the side of her bed to find Luka’s blue-tipped cowlick popping up out of the trap door. 

“Can I come up?” he asked. She hummed back in response, then let herself sniffle and cough.

She waited, holding her breath and willing herself to stop crying, as he climbed her ladder and sat gingerly on the bed next to her. 

“I brought you soup,” he offered. When she wiggled her face out of the covers, he was holding a styrofoam to-go cup and plastic spoon out to her. “It’s not much, but… I wanted to make sure you ate something.” 

Even as she sniffled again, she couldn’t help but smile. “Thank you, Luka.” 

The tips of his ears were pink again as he smiled back.

[cyclone-rachel]

Karadox + “We’re in a bathtub!” (a la Bob's Burgers if you don't wanna write anything too filthy)

Kara moved overtowards him, whispers landing sharp in his ear as soon as his mother left theroom.

“We’re in abathtub!”

“Yes, we are.”Brainy answered, trying to be calm. “It is traditional, for Coluan families- includingnew additions, whether or not they are also Coluan. Do not be afraid.”

Kara scoffed.

“I’m not… afraid.”She said. “It’s just kinda weird, don’t you think? I mean…”

Her arm wentaround him, and she placed a kiss on his cheek.

“I wouldn’t mindbathing just with you.” She continued. “That’s not bad at all. But, with your- shit.”

“With my what?”Brainy asked, raising an eyebrow. But his mother had returned, wearing thetraditional bathing outfit- which was a charitable way to describe it, frankly-and soon entered the bathtub, smiling at her son and soon-to-bedaughter-in-law.

“Speak of thedevil.” Kara murmured.

Fabala smiled, andKara had no idea whether or not she’d heard what she had said- but somehow sheknew that she’d appreciate that description.

[the-fluff-piece]

I like to think that after they find the one piece and do great stuff, a group of young pirates stumbles over rumours about powerful ex pirates on a calm island. They go and find them and they are two grumpy old men. One runs a dojo and is training the local kids, one runs the village pub and kicks anyone trying to put an article about them in the newspaper.

In the evenings, they meet in their little house up on the hill and fight loudly, only to make up just before bed and fall asleep in each others arms.

Aftermath, a Maldrey minific

“So...”

“Yeah.”

“I get that I’m probably the last person you want to talk to right now, but...”

...

...

“I tried fighting her.”

“I know.”

“But it felt like every time I did, she would just turn it back around on me. ‘They’ll never take you back. Look at all we’ve done.’ ‘They’ll think you’re weak.’ ‘You’ll end up on the Isle.’”

“That’s mom for you.”

“Right, I forgot that... that you were her victim, too. That she controlled your life.”

“Not quite in the same way as she did yours, but... yeah.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Me, too.”

...

“I’m so sorry- I shouldn’t have done that. You’re with Ben and I-”

...

...

...

“Wow.”

“You can say that again.”

“Wow.”

[into-the-clintoris]

My first thought upon seeing this was: Davenport. He lost all of himself because it was intrinsically tied to the mission. So what was intrinsically tied to Taako's magic?

Imagine, Lup and Taako, completely inseparable, scrounging for scraps in the streets, their noses scrunching up in concentration as they stare at bits of paper until they go up in flames.

They whittle sticks into wands with the one dull knife they have between them, and they all suck until one day Taako manages a few colored sparks from the end of an oak branch he'd been working all day. Lup snatches it out of his hand and giggles maniacally as a single shoot of flame bursts from the tip at her whim. They spend the rest of the day honing their technique, and the entire next day making a second wand.

They pore over library books for hours on end, and the librarian never kicks them out, only smiles and offers them bits of her delicious lunch, and sometimes, if Taako can make his puppy dog eyes go wide enough, the recipe for whatever delicacy she's brought that day. They devour magical knowledge like it will fill the empty bits in their stomachs, greedily memorizing spells for mischief and necessity alike.

Taako cackles the day Lup casts her first fireball, and sweats from the heat of the flames as she practices tirelessly until her aim is true.

Lup squeals with delight the day Taako brings home hot, fresh pastries he Charm Personed the baker into giving him.

Their training is a dance of corrected postures, fierce duels, and heated strategy debates as they gather knowledge and hone their skills and gain spell slots.

It never stops, even after they have finally managed to scrape together a tuition for a magic academy and gotten proper training.

Even on the Starblaster, it's all "Lup for the love of all that is sacred, quit dropping your elbows when you cast magic missile," and "I will when you learn to pronounce the incantation with the right accent and stop sounding like you just learned Latin yesterday."

So when Lucretia takes away his memories of Lup, there's just no way around it. He learned magic with his sister, from his sister, with his sister. The two cannot be separated. They are intrinsically tied.

When Taako forgets Lup, he forgets their magic.

friendly reminder that justin said taako learned magic during sizzle it up which means lucretia fucked his memory so hard he literally forgot how to do magic which basically means she erased a big part of his intelligence, because he didn't forget he could do magic, he forgot how to do it and let's not forget that taako was a really fucking powerful wizard during the stolen century

What is Katara and Zuko’s favorite date?

Hello my Joy 💛 Great question, I have no idea. Thanks for asking!

Jkjk lemme give it a shot:

I think they would like to do something lowkey and fun. Something where they can just let loose and relax and not think about things. They were both forced to take on too much responsibility and their friends don’t exactly make it easy on them a lot of the time either. And especially as they get older and take over the roles of Fire Lord and SWT Ambassador...oof.

They have nice date nights of course, like going to a fancy (or fancier than usual ig) dinner, going to the theatre (not to see the EIP), going to some festival or celebration where they can just take strolls and enjoy the world. But I think maybe their favourite dates are the accidental ones. With all the other ones there might also be security protocols in place and it’s a little bit annoying to them, even though they try to keep their guards at a minimum. So I have 3 options for them:

Sometimes they are dumb and will sneak out of the palace at night like a couple of children hiding from their parents. They know it’s a little dangerous but they’re both master benders and highly skilled fighters (I hc that Katara learns combat and how to use weapons later on too) so they’re like welp we can take anyone on. But especially as they have kids, they might be less inclined to do so. Before that tho, maybe they go to some secluded spots that Zuko knows of (are there beaches in the capital city??? idk) and they have midnight picnics while they stargaze in silence, simply enjoying each other’s company.

Alternatively, the palace is big enough where they can get some moments of privacy. I do love the idea of the gardens being a super peaceful area and the one place where they aren’t disturbed by anyone. Maybe they have a terrace kind of area somewhere too? Like a rooftop somewhere up high and secluded in the palace where no one else has access. But I think the gardens are a prettier setting lmao and since they’re in a safe space, they can be silly and let go. Maybe they just like getting drunk and playing Pai Sho. They talk and play with turtle dacks ducks, or they’ll read their own books next to each other out there. They probably like to race each other or something dumb when they’re drunk and Katara splashes Zuko with water from the pond or fountain just to annoy him and this is just turning into the stupid minific I wrote for Blue OPE. Essentially they just get to act like children on these days/evenings and I love that for them.

Finally! It’s when they go to the South Pole. Katara generally takes off for months at a time every year, once she becomes Fire Lady, and Zuko eventually manages to stretch out his time there too. He goes for a few weeks or months every year too. How, you ask? Because it’s fiction and I said so, that’s how. Anyway, the South is definitely more of a small tight-knit community and they’ve been recuperating over the years, big thanks to Zuko and Katara. Everybody already loved Katara and they were wary of Zuko at first given that their first meeting was less than ideal in S1E1, but they grow to love him, obviously. Anyway, Zuko loves going to the SWT and honestly, when they retire he probably wants to move there because he loves being around a loving family environment. Every time they go it just feels like a home, y’no? People fussing over them, making them food, while they help around the house and do chores too. He just feels so loved and likes the community feeling. They also don’t really have to worry about security in the South. They take guards and stuff of course, but once they’re there they don’t actually need to be too concerned? They can go off and do whatever they want, who’s gonna hurt them???? The otter penguins? I didn’t think so. They can make impromptu plans like they’ll just go on random walks together at like 4:30 AM (Katara is about to go to bed soon, and Zuko is just waking up) and it’s so peaceful and quiet. This time, Katara knows all the spots to go to. There are lookout spots to see some version of the northern lights (idk it’s a fictional world, they’ve got something okay), they bring snacks and tea and mulled wine and blankets. Sometimes they fall asleep there too because they’re too lazy to get up and walk back home. Katara will bend a temporary igloo for them right before they doze off. And Zuko obviously wakes up at the crack of dawn and the sunrises are bright and beautiful and all shades of warm colours. On occasion, even Katara has woken up and is too mesmerised to go back to sleep so they’ll watch it together and then lie there and talk softly for a few hours before returning back to the village.

I know you asked for one specific date but shut up have a bunch of vague ideas instead
