Summary
Maitimo knows he is not in his own bed even before he is fully awake. He is cold, freezing cold, as no elf in Aman could ever be. It doesn’t get cold in blessed Valinórë and yet Maitimo shivers, reaching out for a blanket that is not there. His right forearm hits hard, icy stone. His right hand hits nothing.
In a far too soft bed, under the pure golden light of Laurelin in a Tirion of many years ago, Maedhros opens his eyes. He digs his right hand into the folds of unfamiliar bedsheets, and knows immediately that something is wrong.
---------------
Maitimo in Amon Ereb in a Beleriand that he does not yet know must figure out how to get back to his own body while trying to understand the horror that his future self has become.
Maedhros in an Aman he thought long dead rushes to fix the mistakes that ended up dooming his line and costing him nearly everyone he ever loved.
The thing is, Maedhros might not actually want to get back to his own body in his own time at all... -

Summary
Zoro takes a large gulp from his bottle and gestures back at the ship. “You coming?”
This could be something, Sanji thinks. Wants to try, if he’s being honest.
(Five times Sanji ran away, and one time he didn't.)

Summary
Sanji is carefully placing a cherry on top of the ice cream, his hands nimble, soft, almost—gentle. But all Zoro sees is the way the hems of his pants are still soaked in blood from an earlier skirmish with a marine ship, red seeping into the cracks on the floorboard, spattering across the kitchen floor in a slow drip, drip, drip.
Zoro stares, fascinated. He can’t bring himself to look away.
(Or, Zoro and Sanji—terrible monsters, in love)

Summary
Zoro doesn’t have a single romantic bone in him, and never once the idea of marriage crossed his mind.
At the end of the day, though, marriage is about loyalty, about devotion and faith in something outside of yourself. And that — Zoro’s good at that. Zoro’s a natural at that.
(Five times Zoro accidentally proposed to Sanji without even knowing what a proposal is, and one time he gets properly proposed to.)

Summary
In the days before they had Chopper, Sanji doctored them.
Zoro remembers vividly, how barely before he had met the man those long fingers were digging in his flesh, his blood staining sleeve cuffs forgotten to be rolled up. Catgut wire going in, and out, and then a roll of bandages appearing in the corner of his vision. When he woke up they were on their way to getting Nami, and the person serving lunch had shaped the precise line of scar on Zoro’s chest with his own hands.
That was the first warning the swordsman got- that this cook was going to be just a little on the side of more.
