Summary
She leaves her burning island and never once looks back. There are things out there that they must consume and understand, for fear of it being lost. Robin refuses to lose anything else.
(Little flower, little flower, don’t you just want to grow further and further and further and further and further and further until there is nothing left but what is ours)
On this it seems, she and her devil are in agreement.

these things will fight you till your last breath (didn't your mother tell you?) by marigoldsinsummer

Summary
Once upon a time, there was a pig and there was a wolf. There has to be, because in these kinds of stories, you can’t have one without the other.
In this story, as it so often happens, the pig builds something and the wolf says that he’s going to blow it down.
We don’t know what or why exactly, but we can guess. Maybe the pig has built a house to protect itself and the wolf wants to eat the pig. Maybe the pig has built a government and the wolf thinks it's corrupt. Maybe the pig has built a cage and the wolf just wants to be free. Maybe it doesn’t really matter what the pig built or why the wolf wants to destroy it, because the point still stands, does it not?
(However, it is important to remember that these stories are only ever half successful for both parties)

He’s stabbing a sword into the body. It’s covered in ichor too.
(look little halfblood, a voice croons in the back of his head, doesn’t it make your stomach rumble? )

or alternatively, a cautionary tale as to why you really shouldn't drink god-blood if you don't want to go hungry (or feral, whichever comes first)

Eating the Mera-Mera Fruit was an experience.
(if he didn’t know better, he’d say the Devil Fruit had eaten him instead)
(or maybe that’s what he’d say if he did)

Summary
One day they're all sitting in class and a teacher's listing names. One day Gai-sensei is challenging them to never give up. One day they're taking what they can get and running with it.
One day starts and they're alone. It ends when they're a team.
There's a lot of other things to be said, a lot of other things to be known, but that’s the important bit

devils come a-calling (sentient devil fruits) by marigoldsinsummer
Fandom One Piece, One Piece (Anime & Manga)

Summary
the idea that a devil fruit is not simply a powerup but instead a vital part of your being that you will never escape unless you die (and even then its not that simple) is a very important concept to me.

Summary
Or: Law Steals a Cabin Boy.
After the newspapers announced the Straw Hat Pirates had been eliminated--save one cabin boy, fourteen year old Portgas D. Ace, who was being remanded to protective custody in Marineford--Trafalgar Law decides to do something crazy. In one world, this put him in just the right position to serve as a timely escape. In this one, it got him an angry, grieving gremlin. Law is tired, Ace has come up swinging, and the Hearts are just delighted.
“I’ve got better things to do than lie to a cabin boy. And you’re not going to take me in a fight, so you might as well take a minute and calm down and listen to me.”
Ace bares his teeth at this idiot. “Shut up! You don’t know anything!”

Summary
Everyone on the Grand Line knows what it means, to eat a Devil Fruit; to trade the hope of the Sea's Promised Gift, of the steady guide of your Soul Compass, for power.
It means you will be lost forever. You will never know what it means to find that perfect other half of yourself, to have the steady guide of your Compass all your life.
But Devils are greedy, and grasping, and they do not let go so easily.

Summary
Then Jiang Cheng brings both blades around, two sword glares flashing, and—oh. Wei Wuxian knows the second sword’s red and silver glare better than any other. His brother is wielding Suibian, the first and last sword that had ever belonged to Wei Wuxian.
Jiang Cheng and the Jin sect took away different treasures after Wei Wuxian's death. When Wei Wuxian comes back from the dead, his brother has some theories, some feelings, and two swords strapped across his back. Now Wei Wuxian must solve a Chenqing-charged mystery while surviving a passive-aggressive custody battle between Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji.Series
