Fic Recs: One Piece
I've been reading a fair bit of One Piece fan fiction recently so it seemed right to start a rec list for this fandom as well. Here you'll find a rather eclectic selection of recs - and my preferred characters tend to be Luffy, Ace, and Shanks, which shows in the list. Where pairings are concerned I'll give anything a try, and thematically I do have a tendancy towards dark and angst, but I have no problems with a bit of fluff and humour as well.
In summary: expect anything to pop up on here.
Where the list is concerned I just provide whatever rating and summary that the Author posted with the fic.
Multi-Chaptered
Running Up That Hill by moonwater2334 NC-17 (Ace/Luffyko, Zoro/Luffyko)
Who says women can't be King? Whether she's driving Ace half mad or taking the Grand Line by storm, Monkey D. Luffy will prove herself worthy of that fiercely sought title despite her gender. But her journey doesn't end there...
Though A Bird Can't Fly, Doesn't Mean It Never Will by Phalanx T
What might have been if Kuina had survived her fall down the dojo stairs. She and Zoro strive to become the greatest swordsman in the world, disabilities and promises notwithstanding.
Fools In Love by Miss Mungoe T (Shanks/Makino)
It was like a story out of one of her favourite novels, and it terrifies her, because the girls in those novels always found themselves with hearts broken beyond repair.
A Force Against Inertia by dixxymouri M
Sanji and Nami's attempt to rob a ship goes horribly wrong. As a result, they've become the experimental subjects of a mad scientist driven to piracy. Forced to eat Devil Fruits and waiting for a rescue that may never come, they bond.
Absence by Elin_B T
One of the Strawhats has been killed in battle, and the others are left to deal with it. Luffy reacts in a surprising fashion.
The Psychology of a Shattered Mind by alohachips T
After finally managing to escape the Bowin Islands, Usopp is captured by the Celestial Dragons, and by time rescue comes ... perhaps, for him and many other things, it comes too late.
Oneshot
The Troubles With the Mera Mera no Mi by Clarobell M (Ace/OC, Marco/Ace, Ace/Luffy)
Sometimes Ace wonders whether his fire abilities are more trouble than they're worth.
Family Portrait by Colhan3000 K
A Family Portrait is a picture of those closest to you together in a single photo. Shanks has a picture of three people in his cabin. One person in the photo has a family of his own...and Shanks has pictures of them too.
Am I Evil? by TreeStar T
That first night after Luffy ate devil fruit, he visited Shanks on his ship with a very important question.
Dysfunctional by vampire_otaku PG-13 (Ace/Sanji)
It's the middle of the night, and Chopper's awake. And not by choice.
Ship Without a Rudder by Eiliem G
After the events at Marinford the Whitebeard pirates are a bit broken, Ace is shattered, and Luffy helps put them back together.
The Sacrifice by Eiliem T
A take on the "Luffy is thrown into Level 6 after his loss to Magellan" scenario.
Frolicking by runic_binary PG-13
While the Straw Hats travel into town to save Sanji's life, they discuss the situation. And whine a lot.
Humoured by salmon_pink G (Luffy/Zoro/Nami)
Nami finds herself listening for something that is no longer there.
Cog by salmon_pink NC-17 (Luffy/Zoro/Nami/Usopp/Sanji/Chopper/Robin/Franky)
He's learning that there's a reason the Straw Hats run like a well-oiled machine.
Promises Unfulfilled by c_callosum
Whenever Luffy looks for Shanks, he's nowhere to be found.
