    Summary

    Mostly, Sabo likes his job, even when it means trying to chase down pirates like Whitebeard in the New World to discuss important Army affairs. Okay, maybe especially then.

    Reunion AU where Sabo's a little shit, everyone’s happy, and yet some stuff still hurts.

    Summary

    “Maybe you don't have to-”

    “Uh-uh. No backtracking now.” Hayden pointed a finger at him. “If you tell Shane, fantastic. Would love that, quite frankly, but until you do, I want those goddamn pictures, Rozanov. Am I clear?” Ilya wanted to make some quip about Pike trying to get a different kind of picture out of him, but given the circumstances... He just nodded. “Good. My kids tragically love the fuck out of you, so figure this out.” Ilya nodded again. “Alright then.”

    Silence followed. Ilya eventually got up, and Hayden awkwardly walked him to the door.

    “Ilya,” he said, surprising him with the first name. “I know what I say doesn’t particularly matter, and I am mainly just a fail-safe for this situation, but…” He opened the front door and clicked his tongue. “For what it’s worth, you’re a good guy and don’t deserve the shit your brain apparently puts you through.”

    "I'm a married man, Pike."

    Or

    Ilya’s depression shifts into some self-harming tendencies, despite how well he can justify most of it. An unexpected cavalry comes together.

    (AKA I found a story filled with sex and decided to hone in on my other favorite things: mental health and complex family dynamics)

    Summary

    When Katsuki Yuuri thinks about his life, he feels like maybe it should have the subtitle 'A Study In Contradictions' after it. As he grows and learns more about himself though, he decides he's willing to acknowledge that being a 'Work In Progress' is ok too.

    Even if he struggles with uniting the 'online' and 'in real life' portions of himself, at least he's got friends in both places who are willing to stick by him while he works shit out. And maybe more than friends, if the look in Victor's eyes is anything to go by... How did this become his life!!?!?

    [A/N: Yuuri only seems to have a dismal online presence because he spends his time in places Phichit doesn't know about. This is basically Victor supporting Yuuri LONG before Yuuri realizes it, and Yuuri dominating Victor in a much more in-your-face way than the show delves into. If that's even possible.]

    [P.S. A/N: THERE WILL BE TIE KINK. So much tie kink once they get going. You have been warned]

    Summary

    Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”

    “Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.

    “No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”

    “Go fuck yourself.”

    +++

    Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.

    And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

    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.
