Summary
It was easy to forget, sometimes, that everyone in the New World was there for a reason. With how strong the Strawhats had gotten, with how strong he had gotten, the thought that they could ever be hurt, let alone defeated, crossed Zoro’s mind less and less. It was at times like these, however, when he remembered. When he couldn’t afford to forget.
Everyone in the New World was there for a reason. Everyone in the New World was there because they were powerful – powerful enough to survive the absolute insanity that came with the Grand Line. And sometimes – just sometimes – even the Strawhats were faced with a dilemma like this.
Zoro looked at his nakama, fallen apart, and wanted his captain.

The Strawhats underestimate a group of marines, and face the consequences.

Summary
“Robin-chan!” He shouted, his voice strained but carrying across the empty street to the receding tram nonetheless. Robin had been struggling to her feet, pushing off the hands of the people helping her up, looking for a way to get back to him, crossing her arms in front of her in vain, desperately trying to find a way to get him back – but she paused at his call, and he saw her look back at him. He kept smiling. “Go get Luffy – I’ll be waiting!”
The tram turned a corner and was gone, taking Robin safely with it. He kept watching the empty street, finally letting his smile drop as heavy footsteps approached. Gleaming black shoes filled his vision, and Sanji stared resolutely ahead as the man from before crouched by his side.
“Sacrificing yourself, eh? How noble.” Sanji snorted, curling his lip.
“Hardly,” he said, placing all of his conviction into his words. “Robin-chan will be back for me, and she’ll bring far more than you and your shitty henchmen can handle.”

Summary
It had been one name, shouted in the heat of battle, that had stuck in Nami’s head. Yonji. She had turned at the sound of it, confused. Wondering if she’d misheard through the protective earplugs. Wondering how these people could have gone through so much trouble to steal her friend just to end up getting his name wrong – but then Sanji’s brother, the green-haired one, he’d turned too. And Nami had realised there had been no mistake – that was his name. Yonji.
Sanji.
Sanji and Yonji.

Summary
It had occurred to him at some point after they had left Wano Kuni that the Vinsmokes must have passed through nearby waters, since Whole Cake Island had been so close.
Which was why, when the Strawhats docked at the first island they spotted after leaving Wano, Sanji was so nervous he almost considered staying on the ship while the rest of the crew explored the town.
—
The Strawhats make their first stop after Wano, and begin to understand that the Vinsmoke name isn’t so easily left behind.

Summary
He'd been walking towards the door. He'd wanted to leave, had been desperate to leave. The explosion had come from in front of him; he remembered being thrown backwards by the force of it. But then - he also remembered the same feeling from behind him just a few seconds later, and then the sound of a third explosion from the side -
We were bombed, he realised, and almost laughed.
Of course. Of course, during the one and only solo diplomatic mission that Keith had ever been sent on, something like this would happen. Of course.
--
Keith is sent to negotiate a peace treaty with an alien community, but things go very, very wrong. -

Summary
“This is where you belong,” she said behind him, in a voice so quiet he might have missed it had he not been so nervously attuned to her presence in the room. He froze, and had to swallow thickly before he could answer her in a voice that was choked nonetheless. “I know, Nami-san.”
“If you know,” she continued in that same low voice, “then why did you leave in the first place?” Sanji dropped his gaze, and made to turn back to his cooking, but she grabbed his arm and held him in place. Reluctantly, he raised his eyes back to hers. “Why did you leave us?”

A closer look at the immediate aftermath of Whole Cake Island, because Sanji went through some shit and it was not nearly addressed enough.Series

Summary
They were his family. They were home. And for the first few months of the apocalypse, the memory of them was the only thing that kept him going. That kept him sane. He had been sure that they would be waiting for him. However time-travel worked, they would be waiting, together, for him to come home. And when he returned, whether it had been days or weeks or months or even years for them, he had been so absolutely certain that they would be there. His family, his team, waiting for his return. That was what he had believed.
Until he found Vanya's book.

Ben was back. Well, he supposed he had never really left, but now it was different. Now he was here, and everyone knew he was here - they saw him and spoke to him and touched him and it had been so long... most days he struggled to believe it was real. But it was, and Ben's siblings never hesitated to remind him so. Klaus definitely never let him forget it, with his constant exclamations of "oi, ex-ghost boy" and "oh shit, yeah, you're alive".Yes, Ben was back, and he knew that. But sometimes (often) it was easy to forget.
--
A collection of one-shots about the siblings learning to be a family again. -
