Summary
Shepard smiles but something about it feels off, like she’s tired but no amount of sleep will help. The scars crisscrossing her cheek betray that, and it makes his own sting.
The look on her face is gentle, something reserved just for the low lighting of the late hours. A trill she can’t hear vibrates in his chest. It’s good to have her back, even if there’s still a dissonance lingering because he spent the last two years mourning her and coming to terms with that, only for her to come blasting back into his life, as is her style.
“I missed you, Garrus,” she says. “That's so weird to say; I feel like it’s only been a few weeks, but… It’s like I went to sleep for a while and when I woke up everything was different.”
“Yeah,” he mutters. “Guess that’s taking some getting used to.”
Shepard must relearn her place in a galaxy that spent two years moving on and living without her; Garrus finds there are three women he must relearn: the Commander, Shepard, and Jane.

Summary
“What’s wrong with you, Zoro?” Luffy asks, stopping him in his tracks and pinning him in place with a simple look. There’s nothing else to it—not anger, no annoyance, just a tilt to his head and that tiny line forming between his brows as the corners of his mouth dip.
He’s already seen their deaths too many times, thought about them all more than he ever thought he would.
It was never supposed to go like this.
I’m sorry I failed and watched you die and I can do nothing to stop it, he cannot say. I know the weight of you in my arms, know what it’s like to cling to all of you and lose you, and I have lost you and will continue to. I can’t stop it, I will stop it. I can’t lose you again, it should be me—“I’m fine.”

Summary
“Chopper will be fine,” Luffy tells them, and even if Nami believes it because Luffy does, because Luffy has never lied, because he has steered them all over the place but never off course, there’s still a rock solidifying in her gut. Chopper never gets sick.
Zoro makes it out to be like it’s his job to watch the crew, as if it isn’t up to all of them to keep an eye out for one another, to step in when someone falters even just a little. Isn’t that her fault?
Luffy shifts closer and for a second that guilt alleviates, and Chopper is resting and Robin is looking after him, and they will be at the next island before they know it and they will find a doctor and Chopper will be fine. Because he has to be—because Luffy said so, and their captain has never lied to them before.
“You were sick too,” Luffy whispers.
the sun will set and the sun will rise. they just have to get through the night first.

Summary
He wants to reach out and touch him—his arm, or his hand, something solid, something that tells him Zoro’s still here and tells Zoro he isn’t alone. But there’s barely a part of his body that isn’t bandaged, and with what exposed skin there is he isn’t sure if a simple touch would hurt him even more.
Now he sits beside him, and he is not a patient man, but he will wait for Zoro.

“Do you think you can bench press me?” Luffy asks, interrupting him in the middle of a crunch, and Zoro pauses and says, “yeah, sure.”

Summary
purgatory sucks but it's fine. mostly. except it's also kind of not purgatory, and the lazarus pit will not be so easily forgotten. (one doesn't leave it unscathed, of course.)

Summary
“You spoke, didn’t you?” he asks, convinced that he had heard somebody calling him into consciousness. The sword says nothing, but Luffy gets the impression that it wants to say more – if it could, or if he could hear it, and he frowns, turning back to the front door.
