Why this must be read: This fic ... oh my gosh this fic. Thinking about it here and now, for this rec, brings tears to my eyes. And they are perhaps strange tears, because they are neither entirely tears of sadness or tears of joy, but both mingled ( Read more... )

Why this must be read: With Brook being the newest Straw Hat crewmember, there really isn't as much fanfic about him as other members. He's also rather eccentric, making him difficult to write (being an undead skeleton living in the watery grave of your ( Read more... )

I don't know how you get a van running on paddles to spin out, but I think I did. Doing my best to get back up to cruising speed!

Why this must be read: I was trying to rec all from different authors since this is the fandom's first time here, but ... I really just can't pass this one up. It's classic Zoro at his directionally challenged finest. It's really no wonder that he gets lost so ( Read more... )

Title: Thirteen Going on Fourteen by peroxidepest.
Pairing: Mentions of LuffyxNami and uh, a ZoroxKenpachi mancrush thing, and maybe a faint flippant bit with SanjixYumichika, but yeah. Otherwise none, really.

Why this must be read: I was mildly surprised, but also immensely pleased, when this author came into the fandom, and brought with her more than one straight-up adventure/battle/friendship fic. Awwww yeah. I had to go with reccing her first effort, as it ( Read more... )

Why this must be read:  It's the weekend, so let's take a spin on the lighter side! When the resident ladies' man cook Sanji comes across a "spinner," and sees a couple prompted to kiss by it.... of course he has to take it home to his galley immediately. He ( Read more... )

Why this must be read: It's always been pretty obvious that, while Luffy is a curious person by nature, he's not the sharpest tack in the batch ... in fact, rather far from it. So what would it mean for him to suddenly become highly intelligent? ( Read more... )

Why this must be read: What reason is there to not rec this fic?? To me, it perfectly captures what makes OP tick-the Straw Hat's pasts, what their pasts made them into as adults, and their relationships with their crewmates. Doubly impressive is that it takes one of ( Read more... )

Hello! I'm so excited to be reccing One Piece here, for the first time in the comm! My entrance to this fandom took a number of twists and turns, like some sort of cheezy romance novel....it holds a special place in my heart. Sorry for the slight delay passing the starting line, all, it took more time than I expected to get the floaties and ( Read more... )
