"Way I see it," Raph muttered, eyes trained on the T.V. without seeing it at all, because he couldn't quite look Mikey in the face, "if Donnie's brainy and useful, Leo's practical and likable, and I'm hard-shell and gooey center- then this is you." (2K12, light Raph/Mikey, food references, meringue levels of fluff.)

in·a·ni·tion, noun; lack of mental or spiritual vigor and enthusiasm; exhaustion caused by lack of nourishment. (In which Luffy's metabolism is faster than his doctor understands.)

Sanji didn't notice right away when his lips and fingertips went numb. It was probably a good five minutes before he realized anything was wrong, and by then it was hard to breathe.

"I'm his doctor!" Chopper had all but shrieked, closer to hysterical than he'd ever been- because in four days time those people could really have hurt Luffy, and he was so tired of being treated like a kid. "I'm his doctor, and I'm going to find him right now!"(Nakamaship.)

Worth's is a hugely successful restaurant, and its biggest selling point is the maitre d' in checkered Vans who folds cranes for first-time customers and picks out a new name for you every morning. (.../Hanna)

About a year before the Corrida Colosseum in Dressrosa, Sabo met one of Luffy's nakama. Well, they didn't actually meet. They spoke, but names weren't exchanged; other things were. (AU, drabble.)

At the IHOP at 5AM, waiting for a zombie and worrying about the weather. (Pointless .../Hanna fluff.)

There's a pull somewhere behind his breastbone that's been there since Shells Town, only getting stronger; and Zoro has never been directionless, especially not now. (Nakamaship, drabble.)

And then, so quickly no one saw it happen, the man is reeling back with a broken nose, the creature is swept up and away, and Luffy- cradling it safely against his chest- looks as surprised as the rest of them. (In which there are absolutely no miraculous returns, and old wounds ache before a rain.) Nakamaship, drabble.

"It's an old tradition in our town; on the second week of the second month of the year, you leave flowers for the one you love, for them to follow back to you. By their house, where they work, nooks and corners that are special secrets between just the two of you." (Luffy's crew leaves him flowers, and an old innkeeper gets drawn into the chase.) Nakamaship.

"When I was little, all the other kids got treats and candies on my birthday too, so I didn't know it was special for me. Ace always said it was, but I thought that was just 'cause he was my big brother. I thought that since it was already a holiday, it didn't count!" (Nakamaship.)

A warm hand in his was guiding him forward through soft light that lapped at his ankles like a shallow sea. He glanced around, or thought he did, but everything was a quiet gold and he couldn't distinguish land from sky.

"For a long time whenever I saw fire that's what I thought of. But then we met Ace in Alabasta, and he was a Fire Man, and he burnt down this whole fleet of Billions ships that were coming after us, and it was amazing! So after that, when I saw fire, I thought of him." (Drabble, nakamaship.)

"Do you really think you're a mistake?" It was hard for the canine genius to fathom, and he frowned when Sherman dropped his gaze again, somewhat alarmed. "That the future must be a better place simply because you're not there?" (Movie!Verse, drabble.)

"Hey Luffy, how'd you get that scar on your face, anyway?" (In which Luffy talks about his brothers, and Sanji doesn't make promises.) Drabble, nakamaship.

Hiccup backed away from them now, so small and so fierce and so ready to cut ties with the only friends he had, all because- "We're trying to help! What's the matter with you?" Merida snapped, and her temper gave the words a sharp edge they didn't need. "We're doing you a favor, signing up to help fight these dragons!" (Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons, RotBTD, Hiccup!centric.)

"Someone has to suffer for this," he says then, almost plaintive, looking up at Carlos with round, hurt eyes. "Someone has to suffer, Carlos." (Episode 43 tag, "The Visitor.")

Luffy gets hurt in the kitchen, and his friends overreact because they can. (Nakamaship, drabble.)

He had no idea when he saw Eren today, curled up and comfortable as he waited with a book in his lap, looking up with eyes that lit up the whole room when Levi came in, that Eren was only there to share a seat with him.

George is broken beyond healing, but Harry's stubborn. And maybe George is still a little stubborn, too.
