    Summary

    “You don’t know who you are.”
    “I know some things,” Rusty protests. “I know my name is Rusty Ryan. I know I work as a hotel owner, and that I got in an accident last week on vacation.”
    Danny lifts one finger. “You weren’t on vacation.” Two. “It wasn’t an accident.” Three. “You don’t run hotels for a living.” Four, and Rusty’s eyebrows shoot up before he even says it, “And your real name is sure as hell not Rusty Ryan.”

    Set after canon. After he is thrown down a mountain and hit by a train, Rusty survives but loses all his long-term memory. Danny helps him remember.

    Summary

    Blue is Kanto Champion for thirty-nine minutes.

    That’s it. Technically, he’s part of the Hall of Fame, technically he’s an accepted Champion. Technically, the title was his once, so it will always be his. Technically, he can’t lose it. He just loses being the present Champion.

    He also, briefly, held the Kanto record for youngest ever Pokemon League champion. That was until Red, three months younger, caught up to him.

    Really, Blue hadn’t even been surprised.

    --
    Blue loses the Championship, Red disappears up a mountain, and everything that happens afterwards.

    Summary

    Due to the way his parents died, Zoro sees death as the ultimate act of love. Through his adventures with the Strawhat pirates, he sees this idea both confirmed and refuted. Eventually, he realises that the ultimate act of love isn't to die for someone, but instead to live for them. Turns out he's been doing that the whole time.

    Zoro's life as he learns how to love people in a normal way.

    Summary

    "I just wish I could have seen you like this with both of my eyes.”

    “You don’t need both of your eyes to see me, to truly see me.” Sanji said, trying to match Zoro’s unexpected sincerity.

    An AU where the straw hats are a group of friends whose world gets turned upside down once their friend Zoro is a victim of a car crash that leaves him with various scars and the loss of his eye. Sanji decides now is the time to put aside their differences and try to help the swordsman deal with the aftermath of his accident.

    Summary

    Left with only three other crew mates, it’s a ready expectation that Sanji will start fawning all over Robin in his usual obnoxious way. However, that’s not what happens. Instead, looking wild around the eyes in a way only someone who knows him well would recognize, the cook doesn’t break stride until he’s firmly within Zoro’s orbit and can wrap both hands around his upper arm, clinging tight.

    “Hi, darling,” he chirps, his expression desperately conveying that Zoro needs to play along under pain of death. “Did you miss me?”
