  4. Summary

    There was a lot one could say about the Vinsmokes:

    The corruption. The fall from glory. The insistent crusade in science and military powerhouse that one Judge Vinsmoke was famous for, but the biggest was the underlining secrets.

    Secrets that were like a miasma that crept out of the floating country. Each and every one of the royal family had a secret, but the biggest one of all was how Sanji, the third of the quadruplets, the ultimate failure of Judge’s latest experiment, wasn’t the only one who was technically a failure.

    In which all the Vinsmoke brothers have emotions, and while enhanced, want to protect their third.

  5. Summary

    What if Sanji's siblings weren't brainwashed by Judge and took Sanji's side?
    What if, as children, they loved their mother and believed her when she said their father was lying to them?
    What if they banded together against Judge instead of against Sanji?

    Summary

    Meropide is a quiet town, about an hour northeast of anywhere anyone could find on a map. If they are being charitable, they call it quaint or unpretentious or charming, but when they’re honest, most people call it a podunk backwater that might as well be crowned the capital of Bumblefuck Nowhere. It had been much the same thirty years ago, just slightly less stooped and gray, but Wriothesley’s fading memories of the town don’t need much adjusting.

    He likes the idea of quiet nowhere. Something like a ‘fresh start’ is a bit beyond him, but an early retirement to a tiny country town suits Wriothesley just fine, and that’s before he sees the lighthouse.

    Summary

    "Sorry," Hua Cheng murmured, voice still deep from slumber, "I didn't mean to fall asleep."

    The vines tightened minutely. It wasn't enough to cause any degree of pain. It was like someone was holding his arm and gripping a little tighter, as though he were trying to move away and they were doing what they could to stop him without injury.

    "Is this… do you want me to stay?" Hua Cheng asked. The vines remained just as taut against his skin, but the tips of them moved, sliding around his fingers as if threading them together. His heart fluttered, and he whispered, "Okay. I'll sleep here tonight."

    --

    The one where Hua Cheng falls in love with the prettiest flower in his garden.

    Summary

    Disillusioned by royal life, Prince Xie Lian has long realised that being the next king of Xianle is not the life he wants. His dreams of adventure and a world beyond the kingdom have always been too far from reach. But when desperation forces his hand and he flees from the life he's always known, Xie Lian gets a taste of all the things he's ever wanted. Learning the cruelty of the world and the joys of life at sea, the legend of Xie Lian the Pirate Prince soon spreads throughout the land.

    Xie Lian decides to take his crew on their biggest adventure to date, one so perilous that no pirate has ever succeeded. The path ahead is dangerous and with so little to go on, they race headlong into the unknown in search of the adventures Xie Lian has always craved. But the path they've chosen is not what it seems and the treasure Xie Lian finds is worth far more than gold or jewels. Finding new allies and learning to face the demons of his past, Xie Lian is propelled into a series of events that will force him to face his fears and learn the true meaning of freedom.

    And perhaps to believe in love again.
