    Summary

    At thirty years old, Sanji likes to think he’s doing fine — if you ignore the divorce, the empty apartment, and the fact that his work is the only thing keeping him from falling headfirst into an early midlife crisis.

    So when he walks into his old gym on autopilot after a long trip and finds it replaced by a tattoo studio, he does the only rational thing:

    …committing to a massive piece that’ll cost him a fortune and trap him in close quarters with the unfairly attractive yet impossibly rude artist behind the counter.

    It’s not like it's the worst idea he’s ever had, okay?

    (Though maybe he should’ve gone with the word impulsive tattooed across his arm to stop him from repeating mistakes like this.)

    But when the dreaded session turns into a day of laughter, teasing, and warmth he hasn’t felt in years, he can’t wait to come back.

    A story about the value of found family, learning to love again, and trying to charm your way through life with extravagant food.

    Summary

    Zoro has his suspicions about the Cook from the first time they fight together.
    From the moment Sanji dives into the waters of Arlong Park, fights a fishman underwater, and wins- Zoro has questions.
    Ideally, Zoro would stay out of the Cooks business. In fact, Zoro would prefer to stay out of the Cook’s breathing space in general. However, Zoro also takes his job as First Mate seriously. So when questions become active concerns he finds himself wading into a secret deeper than he can fathom.

    Summary

    The mermaid swims up to the glass, climbing in the current until he reaches the third tier of the viewing platforms- right where Zoro is standing. Their faces align on opposite sides of the glass and Zoro feels his breath catch.

    He's smiling. A charming twist of his lips as vibrant blue eyes gleam in the light of the tank. His hair halos his features, his bangs floating away and showing off an unusual set of curled eyebrows. His ears are pointed and webbed, and there's a smattering of iridescent scales across his cheeks that sparkle like freckled gemstones, accentuating the narrow cut of his jaw.

    Fuck- He’s beautiful.

    And then, the mermaid opens his mouth.

    “I don’t qualify as a fish."

    Summary

    The Winter Soldier, fresh out of the Potomac River and vulnerable, is stalked by Rumlow’s team before he can successfully make his escape. Dubbing the monicker Crossbones, Rumlow uses his privileges as Field Handler to collect the Asset with the promise he won't return him to Hydra, which is enough to get the Soldier to go along with it.

    Meanwhile, news from America reaches a certain EKO Commander who can't pass up the rare opportunity of the Soldier being loose from his captors. In true dramatic fashion, and self-interest, Zemo decides to up the stakes for his own devices. Too bad Hydra--choking on the ash of their covert empire--isn’t ready to let their cherished attack dog go. Just to add fuel to the fire, having a new unauthorized Sokovian handler in play certainly throws a wrench into everyone's plans.

    As for the Asset. Sgt. Barnes. Bucky. James... He just wants to learn who he is after everything, without others' opinions dictating how he's expected to act. But no one-not Rumlow, Steve, the Avengers, and certainly not Helmut-fucking-Zemo make it easy for him.

    And Hydra just won't stop sprouting damn heads.
