    Summary

    Those are the times Gale feels like a younger sibling. Other times, he— doesn't, and there really isn’t any one word or phrase that encapsulates how he feels then.

    Technically he's known John for almost his entire life. Hard not to put someone like that on a pedestal.

     

    -- Gale has nowhere to go, except maybe his ex-best friend's older brother's place

    Summary

    Excerpt from the Hunter’s Field Manual, issued by the Ministry of Spiritual Protection and Preservation in the name of his holiness the Archmage:

    “Alvae are among the most insidious and treacherous of all recorded entities. Deceptive in form, they mimic human shape and speech, but beneath the skin lies only hunger. Their abilities include infiltration of dreams, extraction of memory, and psychic infestation of the host mind. They are capable of prolonged masquerade, often assuming the likeness of loved ones to lure prey.
    Weaknesses are few but decisive: alvae cannot withstand prolonged exposure to sanctified metals or the sigils of binding flame. Strike swiftly, without hesitation. To hesitate is to fall. Remember: trust no alva, for their very existence is a lie.”

    John had passed his exams with flying colors. He knew the manual and protocols like the back of his hand. He knew there was nothing more dangerous than an alva.
    And yet, the creature in front of him didn’t seem like it would pose a threat to him.

    Summary

    "Get to the point, cook.”

    Sanji shoots him a half-hearted scowl. “What I’m saying is, we’re going to keep ending up here. Beat to shit, even after we win.”

    “You keep saying that.”

    “What?”

    “‘We.’” Zoro sets aside his empty sake bottle.

    Summary

    A moment is all it takes for everything to change. That’s how it always is.

    When you’re pinned against the horizon, sun beating uselessly against your metal skin, the leather of your green apple turning your air funny, all you have is interminable moments of possibility. Life and death, made into string, stretches out in front of you: Tangible. For just a second, you can reach out and touch it, hold it against your gloved palm and feel your soul catch alight in understanding.

    All it takes is a moment for John to slip his fingers further past Buck’s waistband.

    (or: Bucky's wanting gets the better of him.)
