⇢ roronoa zoro x reader.

⇢ tw: angst, violence injury, english isn’t my first language.

⇢ a/n: i still haven't reached zou arc, so i am going to make it more neutral (in terms of arcs) and it's sanji who saves the reader to make my boy mad.

⇢ summary: sanji saves you from a near-death experience, making zoro feel guilty and jealous when he sees the cook taking care of you after he finished training.

the adrenaline still coursed through your veins as you sat in the infirmary.

a thick bandage wrapped around your arm and a fresh mug of tea in your hands, courtesy of sanji.

his concern had been immediate and unwavering, and even now, as he sat on the stool across from you, his eyes flickered to your injury every few seconds, like he needed to reassure himself that you were still in one piece.

“you shouldn’t push yourself so recklessly, y/n, do you have any idea how close that was?” sanji said, his voice tinged with equal parts frustration and worry.

you winced, not just from the memory of the fight, but from the way his words carried the weight of what could’ve happened.

“i’m fine, sanji, thanks to you” you murmured, offering him a small smile in an attempt to lighten the mood.

“you’re lucky i was close enough to help" he huffed, running a hand through his hair.

the door creaked open, and the familiar clink of zoro’s earrings announced his arrival.

his gaze immediately locked onto you, taking in the bandage, the tea, and, most notably, sanji sitting far too close for his liking. zoro’s jaw tightened, and he stepped further into the room, his sword still strapped to his back, a sheen of sweat on his skin from his training session.

“what happened?” he asked, his voice low and tense.

“she had a close call,” sanji answered before you could. his tone was clipped, but there was a spark of satisfaction in his eyes as he looked at zoro.

“good thing i was there to pull her out of it” the cook, making zoro feel even worse.

zoro’s brow furrowed as his eyes shifted to you.

“how bad is it?” he asked tense, his eyes hinting a huge amount of worry.

“just a scratch, really, it’s nothing-” you said quickly, holding up your bandaged arm.

“it wasn’t, nothing, she could’ve been killed, and you were nowhere to be found” sanji interjected, cutting you off.

you furrowed your brows, looking at sanji mad at the accusation he had made to your boyfriend.

“don’t” zoro snapped, his voice sharp enough to silence the cook.

his gaze darkened as he turned back to you, the guilt in his eyes unmistakable.

“why didn’t you wait for backup? why didn’t you wait for me?” he asked in a desperate whisper.

your chest tightened at the raw emotion in his voice, but before you could respond,

“she didn’t have a choice. i already told you” sanji stood, placing a gentle hand on your shoulder.

“i wasn’t asking you, cook” zoro growled, his hand gripping the hilt of his sword.

“zoro,” you said softly, reaching out to touch his arm. his muscles tensed under your hand, but he didn’t pull away.

“it wasn’t his fault. he saved me” you reminded him.

zoro’s eyes flickered to yours, and for a moment, the anger drained from his face, replaced by a deep, unspoken guilt.

“i should’ve been there,” he muttered, his voice low.

“you couldn’t have known,” you reassured him, squeezing his arm gently.

“if you’re done glaring daggers at me, i’ll leave you two to sort this out. but she still needs to rest” sanji, sensing the tension between you two, let out a dramatic sigh.

zoro didn’t respond, his attention fixed entirely on you.

sanji left with a parting glance, the door clicking shut behind him. once you were alone, zoro sank onto the stool sanji had vacated, his elbows resting on his knees as he ran a hand through his hair.

"rest, and don't move too much" zoro grumbled, leaving too as you laid alone.

------------------------✩┈┈∘*┈୨୧┈*∘┈┈✩--------------------------

later that night, the moon hung high over the thousand sunny, casting its silvery light across the deck as the ship rocked gently on the waves. the quiet hum of the ocean filled the night, but it was interrupted by the sharp sound of a blade slicing through the air. zoro was in the training room again, long after the others had gone to bed, his sweat-drenched form illuminated by the dim lanterns swaying overhead.

you watched from the doorway, concern etched on your face. this wasn’t the first time he’d pushed himself too far, but tonight, it felt different. his movements were frantic, almost desperate, his breathing ragged as he swung his swords in relentless repetition.

“zoro,” you called softly, stepping into the room.

he didn’t stop, didn’t even look your way.

“zoro, that’s enough,” you tried again, louder this time.

his jaw clenched, his muscles straining as he brought his swords down in a final, forceful strike. the weight of his emotions seemed to crash down with the blow.

"what are you doing here? you should be resting" dropping to one knee, he let his swords fall to the floor, his hands trembling.

“what are you doing to yourself?” you rushed to his side, kneeling beside him and placing a hand on his arm.

“i couldn’t protect you.” his voice was hoarse, thick with guilt.

“if sanji hadn’t been there… you could have-” he shook his head, refusing to meet your gaze.

“stop,” you interrupted, your tone firm but gentle.

“i’m here, zoro. i’m okay. that’s all that matters.” you reasured gently.

he looked at you then, his eyes clouded with something you didn’t often see from him, fear.

“but i wasn’t there,” he said, his voice breaking slightly.

“and i can’t stop thinking… what if you decide you’re better off with someone who can actually keep you safe?” he mumbled

the vulnerability in his words struck you, and your heart ached for him. cupping his face in your hands, you forced him to look at you.

“don’t you dare think that,” you said, your voice trembling with emotion.

“i don’t love you because you can protect me; i love you because you’re you. strong, stubborn, loyal, you. and no one else could ever take your place.” you reminded him gently, cupping his face shyly.

“but sanji-” his hands reached up to cover yours, his grip almost hesitant.

“sanji is my friend,but you’re the one i chose. you’re the one i love. do you hear me?” you interrupted, shaking your head.

“i hate this, i hate that he had to save you. i hate that i wasn’t there” he admitted quietly, his usual stoicism slipping just enough to let you see the vulnerability beneath.

“zoro, you’re always there for me. you can’t be everywhere all the time.” you said, your voice soft. you leaned forward, resting your forehead against his.

his hand came up to cup your cheek, his thumb brushing gently against your skin.

“but you’re mine to protect,” he murmured, the possessiveness in his voice tempered by the sheer depth of his care.

“and you do protect me, every single day” you whispered, placing your hand over his.

the tension in his shoulders eased slightly, though the guilt didn’t entirely leave his eyes.

“just… promise me you’ll be more careful,” he said, his voice thick with emotion.

“i promise,” you replied, leaning in to press a soft kiss to his lips.

he held you there for a moment, his arms wrapping around you as if to shield you from the world itself.

and at that moment, you knew that, despite everything, he would always find his way back to you.

he searched your eyes, as if looking for any hint of doubt, but all he found was sincerity. slowly, he nodded, the tension in his shoulders easing just a fraction.

you wrapped your arms around him tighter, pulling him even closer.

“you don’t have to carry this alone, we’re a team, remember? i’ll always be here for you, just like you are for me” you whispered, your fingers threading through his damp hair.

“i’m sorry,” he murmured, he tightened his hold on you, his breaths evening out as your words sank in.

“you don’t have to apologize,” you replied, pulling back just enough to look at him.

“just promise me you’ll stop beating yourself up over this. you’re more than enough, zoro. you always have been” you whispered softly.

“i’ll try” for the first time that night, a small, tentative smile tugged at his lips.

“good, now, let’s get you cleaned up and to bed before you collapse" you said, leaning in to press a soft kiss to his forehead.

he grunted in acknowledgment, letting you help him to his feet.

as you guided him out of the training room, his arm draped over your shoulders for support, he couldn’t help but feel a weight lifting from his chest.

you loved him, not because of his strength, not because of his ability to protect, but because he was him. and for zoro, that was enough.

[uncanny-tranny]

Honestly, going into your WIP pile to actually go through it and see what you actually want to finish can be really helpful, especially when you don't judge yourself and try to learn why that piece became a hibernater in your WIP pile

Some questions I ponder when I look at a WIP is:

Is this project turning out how I want? If not, what about it don't I like?

Do I or did I have fun when I was starting it?

Will I actually use it or enjoy it when I'm done?

Do I like the material now?

Do I see myself enjoying the product after it's done?

Were there, or are there, time restraints preventing me from finishing?

Is this out of my current skill set, and am I okay with that?

If I could change one thing about the WIP, what would it be?

I know plenty of people won't incorporate this into their own WIP and crafting journey, and that's okay. But I know so many people who hibernate their projects for many reasons and feel guilty about it. I hope this might give people ideas about why they hibernate projects to prevent that type of guilt from eating away at their conscious. This (creating) should be fun, and if you're spending a lot of time feeling guilty or ashamed, it can be hard to continue doing the things you like.

Domesticated Post-Tekken 2 Era Kazuya is my favorite to think about because this would be so good for him and everyone else but he would have an absolutely miserable time during it

[russeliarat]

In regards to Cia in a lot of the LU fanon space (aka fics and headcanons), I feel like she's being portrayed far worse than she actually is in Hyrule Warriors. I do think that Wars would have a lot of trauma regarding her considering she's the whole reason a war was started in his name. I do also think that starting said war is pretty bad. But I don't think she really deserves the black-and-white viewpoint most people have of her, it undermines the (attempted - it was a bad and rushed attempt but an intentional attempt nonetheless) redemption of her character arc. I say this as someone who owns the game and has combed through it for hours to attempt to rewrite that bullshit game.

But I think a lot of people are missing the part where Cia actually had control over her one-sided love for centuries as she only watched each hero and never interacted, but it was when Ganondorf came in and corrupted her that she started the war. She was under Ganondorf's influence throughout most of the game, even when she defected from him and attempted to gain the Triforce. She eventually made attempts to redeem herself after becoming free of Ganondorf due to Lana. There's also an element that Cia herself was exploited for Ganondorf's own power fantasies, it was likely that he manipulated or even told her to go to such extremes as making a war to get the Triforce and just used Cia's quiet yearning as a motive.

As dogshit as Hyrule Warriors is as a game and story, I think the idea that Lana is this perfect good is a great foil to Cia's unwavering evil, both forced to these extremes because of Ganondorf, who then regained their humanity once Cia finally broke free of him, though is more subtle in Lana is actually expressed kinda well compared to the rest of the wonkiness of the game. I think there's something to be said about Cia treatment as a antagonist compared to others like say Shadow, the way they're treated as being redeemed villains who were manipulated by Ganondorf for his own gains is vastly different across the fandom. Idk if there's a reason but it feels so distinct and I can't answer why.

This isn't to say that I don't think Wars would have a lot of issues surrounding what happened, its quite obvious he would have a lot of relationship problems on top of everything going on about the war. Its more a ramble about how people portray Cia post-HW/during LU. I myself don't understand how it happened, but as a DLC that was added for free in the Definitive Edition, Cia was revived and re-evilised, so yes she is technically alive still. I don't blame people for thinking she's some mega evil seductress that wants to capture the hearts of all the Chain, she seems very one-sided as a character at first without either getting the game and playing through yourself or skimming every website about the game (which is surprisingly few compared to its Age of Calamity counterpart - which also has its issues) and analysing the very misleading text in wiki pages and reviews. But no, she's not portrayed as a rapist (wtf literally where in the game is it even implied) nor is her character shown to be a pedophile (each hero she has been shown to fawn over are very explicitly the adult heroes).

I'm fine with headcanons, but the kind of stuff I see passed around in LU fanon is basically character assassination. It's kind of sad to see Cia just absolutely obliterated. I'm fine with some of the tamer headcanons, but some of the aforementioned like her being a rapist or a pedophile is so gross to me (and yes I've seen both multiple times in many more words to try to soften the blow of the writer/headcanoner's implications). I don't really like her character myself but I feel like I've analysed her and reworked her and picked apart her character too much to even consider humouring these kinds of ideas. Saying things like she's hypersexual or playing into her seductress image and appearance is fine because it's almost canon, I'll even agree with people calling her a stalker because she definitely was one during the war, but saying anything close to her committing anything more extreme is just not it for me.

Lazarus What?!

Phantom pinched the bridge of his nose as he tried to take in what he was just told.

"Explain it one more time. I need to know if I got this right." He said his frustration mounted.

They were standing at the edge of the Lazarus pit. The Ghost hero had been searching for wells formed from ectoplasm on this planet.

"We-" Superman spoke first.

"YOU SAW A BIG FUCKING POOL OF OTHERWORLDY GOO AND DECIDED TO SWIM IN IT?!" Phantom exploded.

"Well, it does heal and revive people," Flash said hidden behind Wonder Woman.

"Well that makes it perfectly safe and healthy for you doesn't it," Danny said sarcastically. "It's not safe at all! You people are just tossing corpses into this thing and think it's a miracle that people come out alive! This stuff is a waste pit made from the leakage from my realm!"

"Waste? Like as in-" Clark's face gritted in disgust.

"Not like human waste but still waste. Our bodies take in new ectoplasm and the old tainted stuff flows out. Like a fish breaths with it's gills. The old material tends to collect in different spots like a dump of toxic waste. And you people are bathing in the used materials." Phantom explained.

"And why is it so dangerous." Batman finally spoke up after considering the information.

Phantom sighed.

"The reason why the goop is bad is because it's tainted. As in it has remnants of the ghosts that expel it. When you dump the corpse of a freshly dead person in the goop it melds with the person giving them the ability to persist beyond death and linking them back to their soul. That sounds good, but the soul is now infected with the random assortment of attributes of the ghosts that are in the goop. It won't do much to you though. Barely affecting you in any negative way. Now if you keep putting bodies in the goop you create a big problem as the ectoplasm is invected with the freshly dead's issues. If someone evil, vengeful, or unbalanced is put in the waters parts of them will stay behind. Constantly using the ectoplasm will cause someone to go insane as it corrupts them. If someone dies painfully enough, it will also persist in the ecto and create a revenant. Like an avenging super soldier hellbent on revenge so their soul can rest. The ectoplasm will also become less potent over time, and eventually, the only thing that can come out is zombies." Phantom tried his best to spell everything out like everyone present were idiots.

"That explains many things." Batman said pinching the bridge of his nose.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN! ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU ALREADY DID THAT?!" Phantom was turning red now.

Why Will Byers?

An analysis and theory on why Henry/Vecna targeted Will first in season 1 and his plans for Will in season 5

‼️Contains The First Shadow (TFS) spoilers so please proceed with caution.‼️

This is going to be a little long but I’ve tried to give as much context as I can without actually being able to show snippets from the stage play. This is my interpretation of everything that went down as a member of the audience and not as someone who has read up any theories about TFS before. To understand why Henry took Will first in 1983, we have to start with -

Henry and Joyce

From all the times I’ve watched TFS, the one thing that has stuck with me is the final conversation Henry has with Joyce. It’s just before his last confrontation with Patty Newby and before he joins Brenner for good. Joyce is the last person (who doesn’t know about Henry’s powers) that he canonically talks to.

Throughout the entire play Joyce, Hopper, and Bob are investigating the animals dying at the hands of Henry and come to the conclusion that Victor Creel has been the one doing the killing. They get so close to solving the case. In her last conversation with Henry, Joyce tries to comfort him by saying that Victor will pay for his crimes - which makes Henry laugh because she’s so close yet so far from the truth. He gets a little frustrated and says something along the lines of “You don’t get it. But someday you will.” (edit 28/9: the exact dialogue is [Henry: you’re too nice. that is how they’ll get you. you have to learn to do anything you can to protect the ones you love] [Joyce: I don’t understand.] [Henry: You will.]) The next time we see Henry make a reappearance in Joyce’s life is during -

The Vanishing of Will Byers

Will is taken into the Upside Down (UD) by Henry. It’s not even a question anymore. All of the context clues from 1x1 lead us to believe that Will’s kidnapping was not by a demogorgon. Will - a 12 year old - miraculously survives a week in the upside down with no food or water. Will is even around the demogorgon a few times in the Upside Down. (Joyce communicating with Will through the lights and then the demogorgon coming after her immediately).

Barb dies the night she is taken but Will stays alive and also somehow manages to talk to Joyce through the wall. Joyce is led exactly to where Will was held at the end of s1 and he makes it out alive. It’s almost as if Henry knew all along that Joyce was the most capable of never giving up on finding her son. Like Henry took Will Byers because he was Joyce’s son. And like he was giving her just enough to know that Will was alive. Even when Joyce and Hopper find him at the end in a state of near death, he’s not injured by a creature. He was being prepared for the next stage of Vecna’s plan -

The Possession of Will Byers

The origins of Henry’s powers happen as such - As a kid, he is transported into the UD (originally coined Dimension X by the government) for a few hours because he touched something he wasn’t meant to touch. During his time in there, he came in contact with the Mind Flayer (MF). According to TFS this is the point in his life when he started getting “corrupted”. Brenner’s dad - who was one of the first people to enter dimension X - had mutated blood after but no powers. Henry was the first person to come in contact with the MF and it’s highly likely he got his powers because of this (This would also track considering how most of the party has been in the UD now but show no signs of having powers). The MF controls Henry for the rest of TFS and Henry grows more power hungry the more he kills.

In S2, Henry presumably sends the MF after Will - who has now had a year to heal from the events of 1983. Will is the only other person in all of ST to have had direct contact with the MF and survived it. Henry didn’t hesitate to kill Billy in S3, but he always gives everyone just enough to keep Will safe. Will himself tells Owens in S2 that the MF wants to kill everyone except him. Will once again survives the entire ordeal and is given a “break” for the next 2 seasons. Except I don’t believe he’s been just given a break. I think Will is -

Henry’s Sleeper Agent.

Ready to awaken in s5. I undoubtedly think that Will is going to have powers. And I don’t think they’re going to be the same as Henry and El. El and the other lab kids get their powers directly from Henry. Will’s powers will be directly from the MF like Henry. I believe this has been Henry’s plan all along and it’s further affirmed by what he tells Will in the recent VR game. That Will will be the key to Henry being able to infiltrate his friends’ minds. Jamie Campbell-Bower also mentioned during the S4 press that to get in character, he set up a display with all of Henry’s victims and targets’ faces on his wall(?), and Will was in the center.

Henry is going to use his connection with Will sneakily and midway through S5 he’s going to awaken Will’s powers (maybe in ep4 - which is said to be titled ‘Sorcerer’ and has young Will in it). Henry is going to try and manipulate his way into making an ally out of Will, and it’s not going to work because -

Will is the Perfect Character Foil.

Will is everything Henry could have been if he had a better support system. He is the perfect character foil. Unlike Henry, Will has a mother who loves him unconditionally and more importantly, believes him. Unlike Henry, the person who Will loves the most (the Patty to Will’s Henry: Mike) is going to love him back and stay by his side all season. No one is going to force them to be apart the way Henry was told to stay away from Patty. Will is not going to be easily swayed even though Henry has spent years crafting him into the perfect soldier. Sure, Henry has seen him heartbroken and sad, but that comes nowhere near to the amount of love and support Will is going to get from his people next season. And they’re going to quite literally defeat Vecna with the power of love and friendship. After that, Will Byers is getting the happy ending that Henry could have gotten.
