    Xie Lian, meanwhile, is having a much more pleasant time as a dog now that a mysterious ghost has brought him home.

    Summary

    Ace has issues. Shanks can see right through him. [Now with a sequel!]

    “Sometimes,” Shanks starts slowly, those eyes of his boring into Ace’s, “fucking's as simple as that, fucking. But every so often, you meet a certain type of person. The ones who'll drink up every little affection you give them ‘til they’re so cock-drunk they can’t imagine being anywhere but underneath you, and you haven't even fucked 'em yet. You savour those ones.” His head tilts, spilling red hair across his fierce gaze, and he smiles, all teeth. “Ones like you, little flame.”

    Summary

    A batch of onigiri from start to finish takes a little over an hour to make.

    First the rice has to be washed, then soaked for twenty minutes before cooking, which takes roughly another fifteen; and then it has to cool down for a further ten so that you don’t get steam burns trying to handle fresh, piping hot rice with your hands. In the meantime, the fillings can be prepared (things like simmered kombu, salted salmon, seasoned bonito flakes), and then finally comes the shaping. An experienced cook can do two or sometimes even three onigiri in a minute, depending on what the filling is and how fancy they want to make them look—rolled in things like sesame seeds or furikake before being wrapped with nori and served.

    Right now, the timer has just gone off on the rice cooker, which means Sanji still has about fifteen to twenty minutes left before he’s done—a length of time in which Zoro is fairly certain that he’s going to lose his goddamn mind.

    Zoro touches himself while Sanji uses his observation haki to watch. Featuring art by the amazing Snazzy Newton!

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng’s not sure when, but sometime in the past few months, something changed between them. Or maybe it’s just something that’s wrong with him, because the compliments that Nie Mingjue gives him no longer feel like warmth spreading through his body, but like a shot of ice breaking him apart.

    Summary

    If only jiejie were here now. She always knew what to say to cheer him up, to make him feel seen and heard and loved. Who was he supposed to call at almost three in the morning, crying over some stupid word he’d read on some website?

    aka the one where Jiang Cheng wonders how he, a 30 year old virgin, is supposed to give his nephew "the talk".
