Libby; she/her, 30+ ๐ค๐ฉถ๐ค๐ Primarily ZoSan/PedroSan/AllSan fic updates and yโknow, figures and miscellanea. Also my bunnies ๐ 18+ please! (pfp by 8ball)
when Sanji is writing his own recipes he must be terribly practical about it, lists of ingredients that could be swapped out depending on whatโs available at any given island, meals planned to make in huge quantities, nutrition for his insane crew + accounting for all their -
we all know that Zoro would lose his mind if he saw Sanji fighting with blades but more interesting to me is whether heโd understand why Sanji *doesnโt*. idk I donโt think the reasons would resonate with him
phone sex in a world with den den mushis really starts and stops with โwhat would you do if you were here with meโ โnothing Iโm willing to say with these goddamn beady eyes staring at meโ
tempted by the idea of a modern AU Zoro who is actually a passable cook but pretends to have the worldโs most miserable gym bro diet just to mess with Sanji, get more of his cooking, and flirt, all with surprising success
language of flowers AU wherein Zoro, knowing that Sanji is all about that romantic shit, keeps bringing him bouquets that are very carefully arranged, by him, to carry specific messages beginning with soft flirtation and developing into deep love
- tastes and preferences, budgeting for Luffyโs appetite and Namiโs allowances; but what if he has another, more personal recipe book, full of more specific, fancy dishes he knows he may never get to cook
(of course everything Sanji makes is for himself, because taking care of his crew is what he wants most, but they would still like to see him be a little selfish)
ZoSan AU where Zoro has to go on a Mihawk Family Vacation to the Loire Valley and go on endless chateau tours - pure torture until โthe tour group ditches himโ (read: he stumbles down an employee-only hallway) and sees some guy in period dress hanging around in the kitchen
and ofc the crew knows about it, so if they find an island with an unusual variety of ingredients they always make sure Sanji sees everything, just in case heโll be able to really make something for himself for once
Laundry - M - Zoro/Sanji - canon divergent - 24k (complete)
Sanji comes back from Momoiro with a more nuanced appreciation for the relationship between clothes + gender; Zoro develops a more intense appreciation for him
imagining a somewhat more recent possession scenario, what do you ask first once you realize your crewmate is an eldritch horror? existentialist quandaries
I lied, I donโt actually like sex, put your clothes back on Iโm going to explain all of Sanjiโs backstory and why everyone is in love with him to you -
okay SO this is a Model Palace garage kit/resin model; Iโm not well-versed in these (yet >:3) but itโs super cool! I especially like the transparent resin flames with the LEDs, and the little LE coin certificate. And Sanjiโs face, ofc. (plz excuse shaky video and mess)
and Sanji understands what they mean and thinks Zoro is just stumbling onto this, because itโs sweet enough that heโs bringing flowers at all, surely he hasnโt learned the meanings -
I simply like Sanji very much and have no wish to inflict physical violence upon him, nor to present excuses for liking him. thatโs my favorite and I love him. full stop.
wci really is the arc where you have to embrace allsan if youโre at all inclined. if you can walk out of that one believing no one else is in love with sanji itโs just not going to happen
after stretching the bounds of disbelief for an extended amount of time they have a scene of Zoro very exasperated like โIโve been trying to tell you I love you for weeks!โ while Sanji flails
i just donโt think that combat being any different from cooking would cross Zoroโs mind. Sanji takes care of the crew by feeding them; Zoro by protecting them, and both of these are good uses for hands
iโve p much exhausted my communication abilities for the day but. i think I can have a tiny brag that this coincided so well perfectly with birthday ๐โจ iโm so grateful that folks enjoy my writing ๐
๐ฅบ๐thanks for 2k kudos! Sanji exploring โfeminineโ clothes and alternate interpretation of his time on Momoiro have become some of my favorite themes, and this was the first time I looked at them, after not finding much fic that covered those. Iโm blown away by these numbers๐ณโจ
ZoSan/SanZo Secret Santa sign-ups are live! If youโre interested, you can find the event form in the ZS Club Discord Server (invite below) ๐๐โจ
so excited to finally get all these goodies from
@yuushishio
โs store! the postal system giving us the runaround just made it more fun to open the box ๐ gosh everything is so nice ๐
ace!Sanji, in love with love, leaning so hard into the overblown flirting b/c heโs sure thatโs all heโll get the chance for, letting the rest of the crew believe whatever they want when what *he* wants is something realโฆ
@cookingbatter
Peronaโs done expression ๐ she figures out whatโs up instantly and canโt believe it takes Zoro and Sanji so long to get over themselves, huh
what if the Minks donโt smile with teeth (following from animals baring their teeth being a threat) and Sanji picks up in this, being the emotionally intelligent person he is, and only smiles with his mouth closed on Zou,
yโknow sometimes I genuinely forget that not all ZoSan mains are also AllSan enthusiastsโฆ Iโm glad so many of you are (or still put up with me)โฆ thanks friends
after theyโve been seeing one another for a while (maybe their 6-month anniversary or something) Sanji comes over all tired after a long shift thinking theyโll have to get takeout but Zoro already has dinner on the table, something Sanji has never experienced before
why would you write PedroSan if you hate Sanji and donโt understand that Pedro was immediately smittenโฆ affronted by this first thing in the morning
one of those โOdaโs official modern professionsโ AUs where Zoro comes into Sanjiโs hairdressing salon with *normal* hair b/c he lost a bet and has to get it dyed green, and Sanji has to commit this atrocity himself
when the fiancรฉ you stole from your little sister is small enough to sit on your should like a particularly nutrition-conscious parrot and keeps telling you to stop eating only donuts, but itโs cute
itโs been said more eloquently a million times before but the weirdness toward adults in fandom is just baffling; look at the most popular ZS fics on AO3 and all of them are written by authors in that 25-30 age range, if not older
โwhat does it matter what I call myself? I donโt care about defining some nebulous group of people I *might* be interested in, not when all I want is you, cookโ - Zoro, when asked about his sexuality, probably
people who genuinely donโt like Sanji dissing him doesnโt both me but evident Sanji fans who do the whole โI hate this bastard I canโt believe I draw/write him all the time this is so shamefulโ song and dance make me feel crazy. itโs ok to just like things and have fun actually
With the holidays around the corner, if youโre looking for some seasonal ZSZ fics, the ZS Club has three years of exchanges under our belt, with another collection on the way! Over 80 short(er) works, both holiday-themed and not for your perusal ๐๐โจ
itโs time to admit I wonโt have anything new for MerMay this year ๐ ๐ but in the spirit of the season, I do have three pre-existing mermaid fics:
@cookingbatter
โฆSanji doing the โthese feelings are a betrayal of my perfect beautiful fiancรฉeโ and wondering why he and Zoro keep ending up alone together while Peronaโs lurking behind a curtain like โhow have they not kissed yet what more do I have to doโ
what if a/b/o KataSan but itโs alpha!Sanji/omega!Katakuri (Judge lied about/made assumptions about Sanji and instead of Big Mom going โwell weโll just kill them all early, sorry Puddingโ Kataโs like โactually Iโll take that oneโ) and at first Sanji assumes this is a disaster,
ZS rings necklace arrivedโฆ the box is so formal and the necklace is so delicate :3 ๐ Will probably dig out my real camera with a macro lends to take a fun detail pic later
while I was drawing this I was like โokay thatโll be enough to get the idea out of my head, I donโt need to write a ficโ but that was, how do I say this... a lie; I love Mermay
Perona finds his necromancy notes and makes some snide comment about how it never could have worked without ~true love~, but what does she know, anyway? Just because Sanji fits in so well at their family dinners doesnโt mean shit.
๐๐
Arctic Birds - Iceburg/Mihawk ๐ง๐ฆ
Because someone had to make that ridiculous ship for him, and what was Mihawk supposed to be doing in the meantime?
canon divergence wherein the Baratie sails the Grand Line, but strays too close to Dressrosa and Doflamingo arrests them all as spies; Sanji finds himself in prison (perhaps the Colosseum) with the rest of the cooks, but where is Zeff?
