β₯ Sanji/Reader Rec List β₯
40+ fics & authors suggestions! Click here to view this on a separate web page for easier navigation β₯
Sometimes Iβm normal about fictional characters, other times I become psycho-sexually obsessed with them and relentlessly look for fanworks where they get smooched and hugged into oblivion. And by characters I mean Sanji.
So hereβs a non-comprehensive list of Sanji/Reader fics that I love, most of them rated Explicit. This got sooo long because I kept finding other works to add while scrolling through my bookmarks and reblogs, it goes to show how good the fandom is! (Assume, unless otherwise stated, that Sanji is more on the sexually submissive side, since I like what I like and seek out that dynamic specifically.)
Authors I love
Iβm starting this list with a few mentions of my favorite authors, although Iβm sure Iβm stating the obvious with most of these and you all know them already. Who cares! Go re-read their stuff! Leave a comment! Give them your money!
1. One Piece Works by @onlymurphy
Not to fall into hyperbole, but I owe OnlyMurphy my life. If youβre here reading this list then surely you love this author already, so this a good excuse to re-read the entire Grow Old With Me series. Sanjiβs characterization is top-notch, and if you enjoy explorations of his self worth issues and how they would affect an otherwise loving romantic relationship then look no further. Also the author is a very talented smut writer (very talented writer in general, make no mistake), and that's the greatest accolade I can give them. Imagine me putting a gold metal around their neck but Iβm the one who's moved to tears about it.
Honorable mentions for the filthiest-yet-very-romantic works in their catalog:
πΆ Do That Again
πΆ Wildest Dreams
πΆ If Iβm Lucky
2. One Piece Works by @citrinae
Iβm linking the masterlist for this author βcause I really like all their Sanji-centric fics, and Iβd love, love, love to see more. Sanji is so princely and devoted, just an absolute dream of a man, and heβs putting a lot of effort into making the reader feel loved. He gets stellar results in my opinion.
3. One Piece Works by @thus-spoke-lo (GoldExperience86 on Ao3)
There are three fics in particular by this author that I couldnβt pick a favorite from if you held me at gunpoint:Β
πΆ Let Me HelpΒ
πΆ Worth the Wait
πΆ Dear DiaryΒ
Have you ever read a sex scene so good you bypass getting horny and go straight into mourning, knowing you wonβt be able to read it for the first time again? That has not stopped me from reading all these roughly a million times. Click on those links. Look at me in the eyes, listen very carefully: click on those links. I say this because I love you and want you to be happy.Β
You will find other fics by them in the rec list because 1) I couldnβt resist and 2) Iβm pretty sure they have more things posted on Tumblr than Ao3, at least as separate one-shots.
4. πΆOne Piece Fics by @untolduttering
Author, I know deep in my soul that you love Sanji as much as I do. Fortunately Iβm okay with sharing. If anything I'm glad I'm not alone in the trenches.
Check out all her fics and snippets, her writing is incredible and Iβve loved every single thing about Sanji sheβs ever posted. Each time I open Tumblr and I see a new post by her, my day gets a little brighter. She writes one of my favorite versions of Sanji ever, insatiable and devoted and so, so hot. He couldnβt be more my type if he tried.Β
I want to single out her vampire!Sanji one-shot because I havenβt seen this trope used by anyone else and I liked it a lot! It fits so well, what with the theme of hunger and Sanjiβs inability to ask for what he needs:
HungerΒ
The meta post that inspired the fic
5. One Piece Works by @fanaticsnail
Fanaticsnail, youβre the only one who has ever made me willingly click on a smut fic that involved Doflamingo just because Sanji was there, too, and I love your Sanji so damn much (p.s.: everyone go read it, πΆ Seat Number Four).
One of their fics also appears in the Sex Pollen section, and since that one is particularly filthy let me add here two fluffy, romantic fics where Sanji is all cute and flustered by the reader:
Kiss The Cook
Your Flirty Chef
Yearning & Pining
The title of the section is pretty self-explanatory: fics where and the reader are not together, but God knows they want to.
6. πΆ Wanting by @froggiewrites
This ficβ¦holy shit. Iβm genuinely writing this with tears in my eyes. The yearning & pining & longing mixed with the sexual tension so thick you can cut it with a knife makes for a truly incredible read. Only for real Sanji lovers, if youβre not nodding along at each desperate thought the reader insert has about this man then Iβm sorry but youβre only a casual Sanji liker.
7. πΆ My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand by ladyhabanera
[screaming crying throwing up] no yeah Iβm very normal about this fic, I like it a totally normal amount. In the Ao3 comments I say that βSanji isΒ so so dreamyβa heady mix of submissive and deeply romanticβ, and then if you scroll a little you find my other comment which is just me yelling in all caps at my second reread. I not only stand by both, but Iβm doubling down.Β
8. Puzzled by @mynewblackdress
What a lovely series, and what a lovely tropeβ¦misunderstandings due to bad communication are as irritating and useless in real life as they are incredibly fun to read about. The reader is convinced that Sanjiβs earnest compliments are his fucked up way of making fun of her, and it takes a while before they figure out that he means every word. Give it a read if you want a break from the sea of smut that Iβve added to this list, and you're the mood for opla!Sanji in particular.Β
9. Sweet Confession by @softonshanks
I have one specific weakness that Iβm glad to often see in fics: Sanji getting a hug while heβs busy cooking, and heβs all cute and flustered about it because he didnβt expect the affection.Β And this fic has that + Sanjiβs a pining mess for the reader, who heβs FWBs with despite the fact that heβs totally in love with her + sheβs taller than him and he loves it. Iβve hit the jackpot. Iβd love to see more Sanji fics from this author, so much so that Iβm gonna ask her pretty please in Italian: Sara, ti prego, facci sognare.
10. πΆ Your Name by @strawhatsoraya
Now, the one pining in this fic is me. Sanji and the reader are actually complete strangers, but if what appeals to you in mutual pining fics is the gut-wrenching depth of the feelings described, then I think you should check out this little one-shot. My notes on Ao3 are βTfw when a pwp hits your id so well it bypasses making you horny and goes straight to suicidalββdo with that what you will. Also, check out the rest of this authorβs fics and make a whole evening out of it.
Ft. Zoro
Get that stinky Mosshead out of my sightβ¦no, wait, let him stay. I guess we can take turns on Sanji or something.
11. πΆ Picture You by @froggiewrites
I donβt usually read Sanji fics where Zoro is heavily involved, but Iβm glad that that didnβt stop me from clicking on this one (also, to be fair, they take turns on the reader. Well, the reader takes turns on them.) My note on the Ao3 bookmark is βGod-tier sad horny Sanji characterisationβ...couldn't have said it better, me from the past.Β
12. πΆ Shaken Up Hearts by @lyriumcoloredskies
Okay so I lied, maybe I do like it when Zoro is heavily involved, as long as itβs a collab to team up on Sanji. Sanji gets lovingly demolished in this one, but before he gets there heβs sad like a kicked puppy about not being allowed to kiss both you and Zoro.Β Who am I to say no to a heavy dose of Zosan in my het Sanji smut?
13. πΆ Nuvole e Lenzuola by redtendou
This oneβs niche because itβs written in Italian. I was stunned by the authorβs ability to make a graphic sex scene actually work despite Italianβs atrocious sex-related lexiconβtrust me, itβs a struggle. If youβre into Zoro and the reader ganging up on Sanji and you understand Italian, definitely give it a read.
Spa day for the soul
Fics where you take care of Sanji, or Sanji takes care of you, or where there are actual spa activities thrown into the mix. God knows this man needs some TLC once in a while.
14. πΆ My Pampered Prince by @sheerxfiction
Itβs Sanjiβs turn to spend some time flat on his back on the kitchen tableβitβs what he deserves. If youβre craving a brilliant smutty fic where Sanji gets pampered then you've foudn it, the reader take really good care of him in this oneβand I have to give bonus points for the heavy dose of Sanjiβs self-worth issues and the readersinsert fighting back against his refusal to get taken care of. Get loved, idiot.
15. πΆ Shower Time by @chibieggplant
Cute, hot, sexyβIβm talking both about the writing and Sanji in this fic. He takes a shower with the reader and spends the entire time in disbelief that he gets to tenderly wash her body, feeling quite embarrassed by how into it he is, despite the fact that this an established relationship fic. And thatβs how I like my boys!
16. πΆ Vinsmoke Sanji: Not all Men are Rats by livingonadaydream
I love, love, love fics where Sanji gets pamperedβ¦but it doesnβt hurt to read the complete opposite once in a while. A very sweet Sanji makes sure that the reader gets a very happy ending.
First Time
We'll never know the canonical sexual history for any One Piece characters because Oda is, unfortunately, a coward. However I'm not surprised that Sanji is considered by many the most virgin to have ever virgined in the history of virginityβso here's a list of fics where you pop his cherry. Be delicate, please...he's very sensitive.
17. πΆ Say When by @venomatically
This one has to be the first I tell you about. If you go check the comments on Ao3 youβll find me absolutely losing my mind after my first read, and thereβs no quick comment I can add here to fully explain how much I love this author, her writing, andβGood Lord in Heavenβthe way she writes Sanji. Heβs a virginal pervert. Heβs got that dog in him and it happens to be a cute little puppy. Heβs so sweet and adoring he canβt bear to tell you how often he thinks about fucking you. I need someone to invent him in real life, itβs not even funny anymore. (Also, if you like to see Sanji actually get a little depraved, check out her other fic, too: πΆ Letting Off Steam)
18. πΆ Lust by @tetzoro
Ooh, this oneβs hot. It starts so poetic and romantic, but as Sanji loses himself in the feeling the descriptions get more carnal. I love his POV here. Also it involves one of my favourite things ever: the readers starts on top but when it gets too good Sanji can't resist and he flips her over to do all the work himself. Who else cheered?
Sex Pollen
While writing this rec list I realized I have at least four sex pollen fics where Sanji eats something he shouldnβt and thenβ¦I wanna say βregrets itβ, but the consequences are that he has hot sweaty sex with someone heβs really into. If he were to notice the trend I think he might start putting the wrong thing in his mouth on purpose.
19. πΆ Itβs a what flower?! by @sanjifucker42069
From the blog name alone I knew Iβd found a kindred spirit. They have written for both the animanga and OPLA, and to be honest itβs hard for me to pick a favorite work. Thatβs a lie, this oneβs my favorite. The author has a great sense of humor, and this fic in particular is both very funny and incredibly hot. I love how desperate and pathetic Sanji gets, and how hard the reader insert is trying to keep things PG before it becomes obvious they just have to fuck! Good problems to have if you ask me.
20. πΆ a fever you can't sweat out by @cryocandy
I remember reading this one day right before work. My shift was about to start, and I was sitting by myself in the car reading the smoking hot sex scene for no good reason at all, ensuring that I wouldn't be able to focus on anything productive for the rest of the day. Sanji in this fic is so dreamy and cute and pathetic, all qualities enhanced greatly by the amazing writing. If you donβt think you like fuck-or-die fics, do yourself a favour and read this one anyway.Β
21. πΆ Needy Boy by @maddddstuff
My note on Ao3 for this one was βSingle-handedly made me into spanking btw, if you even careβ, and I stand by it. Heβs the one that gets spanked by the way, in case someone was in doubt.
22. πΆ Someone Help Me by @fanaticsnail
Sanjiβs a mess in this one. A total and complete mess, and I loved every word of itβalso, since in the first part Sanji is struggling against the effects of the sex pollen all on his lonesome, this fic might also appeal to my fellow Sanji whump fans.
Dom!Sanji & Co.
Just because I have a preference for Sanji being a sub it doesnβt mean I will scoff at fics where heβs more dominant in bed. Here are the ones I stumbled upon that Iβve really liked! (Also Iβm using the term βdominantβ very loosely here, in some of these fics heβs simply more assertive in bed.)
23. Too Much (Take Me Home) by @secretwritingspot
This is THEE dom!Sanji series for me. Thereβs no sex in it, itβs more of an exploration of the sub/Dom dynamic and why someone would crave submitting to another person. Sanji finds himself in the dominant role with little warning, but heβs damn great at it in his usual adoring and tender way. Iβm linking the first fic of the series, but the author has written more for this scenario!
24. πΆ Leg Day by 1LucaCola1
The title says it all; fantastic premise for a smoking hot pwp fic. If I had the opportunity to train and make good use of Sanjiβs expertise, Iβd also push myself too far until my legs were shaking, and then let him do other things to me to make the shaking even worse.
25. πΆ very professional nights by @missfrustration
Ugh, I love this one! Sanji is your superior at the Baratie, and heβs so very stern with you until he isnβt at all. Love the bait and switch of a Sanji whose professionalism makes him act a little cold when clientsβ satisfaction is on the line but simply melts when heβs alone with the reader. And everything he ends up doing to the reader in this fic, Iβd hardly call a punishment.
26. πΆ Doodled Hearts by Twisted_Inkwell
Soft dom Sanji fucks you hard but heβs sweet talking to you in French the whole time. I donβt know what else to add to convince you to read this one, that should be plenty.
In the kitchen
To fuck the cook, youβll have to look for him in his natural habitat. Then you can proceed to ruin the kitchen table for everyone else.
27. πΆ Midnight Snack by BombasticBastard
This fic is a part of a Sanji/Reader/Zoro series, but Iβm linking Part 2 where itβs just you and our lovely boy. As the title says, the reader is craving a midnight snack and goddamn, she gets the best one the Sunnyβs pantry has to offer. This could also go in the Dom!Sanji category because he quite literally talks you through it, as the kids say nowadays, but he also showers the reader in compliments & he confesses his love, so overall heβs too much of a big olβ softie to call him dominant in any way.
28. πΆ All It Takes by mooseskulls
Reader catches Sanji being the pervert that he is, stolen underwear and badly-hidden moans included. This one has both a gender neutral version and a transmasc!reader one, I thought that was lovelyβthis way lots of different people can enjoy the βgetting bent over the kitchen counterβ scenario.Β
29. πΆ Compliments to the Chef by @tigreblue
The Author says this is their first ficβif thatβs the case, theyβve got a bright future ahead of them. We all know Sanji doesnβt easily accept love and gratitude, but some good olβ finger-sucking ought to convince him. Things degenerate beautifully from there.
Dark(er)
By darker I mean that Iβm adding here fics where Sanji is something other than an absolute sweetheart. Youβll understand how actually dark any of these fics are from my comments and the authorsβ tags, but they all have the general vibe of βSanji is a sleazy pervertβ in varying degrees of illegality.
30. πΆ appetite by @groubee
Oohβ¦this oneβs fucked up. Sanji is an unreliable narrator that makes non-con somnophilia sound kinda cute, actually (it really isnβt.) In his defense heβs written as some sort of incubus-slash-sex-demon. The author doesnβt go into detail but they donβt need to, itβs all about the sickly sweet mood (emphasis on sickly) of a tender lover whoβs also a horrible, horrible person.
31. πΆ Letting Off Steam by @venomatically
Heβs a freak in this one, but heβs soooo nice about it and heβs soooo thankful that youβre letting him be a complete pervert who can get away with waking you up by stroking his cock over your face.Β
32. πΆ Smile for the Camera by @thus-spoke-loΒ
This one broke my heart and turned me on at the same time, I give it a full five stars. Itβs a short and sweet one-shot where Sanji breaks down all your walls and then does the same to your trust in menβ¦enjoy!
33. πΆ Compliments to the Chef by @thus-spoke-lo
I realize only now that this fic and Smile for the Camera are by the same author. Thatβs not gonna stop me from reccing this little series, tooβin the notes on Tumblr you can see that this was written for a βsleazeball collabβ, which should tell you something about Sanjiβs characterization. While reading this I felt like that lady in the comic about sexual harassment on the workplaceβ¦like yeah maybe I would be okay with it if the guy was hot enough. And by workplace I mean a shitty restaurant, and by guy I mean Sanji in the role of the line cook who smokes too much and is very transparent about wanting to bang you on the counter where lunch service is prepared.
34. πΆ Use me by moosetracksandscenechanges
This fic! My God! Iβm adding it here not because there are hard kinks or morally dubious dynamics between the characters, but I still think it fits. It has its sad moments due to a generally darker atmosphere and a more aloof version of Sanji (not that aloof, still recognisably himself)...but also he willingly gets tied to a bed. Sub Sanji lovers stay winning. My hopeless romantic heart hopes that Sanji and the reader will actually get together, but thereβs a lot to love about the fwb dynamic theyβve got going on right now. A bittersweet read in the best way.
35. Conjugate the Ways by @secretwritingspot
Oh, Sanji has a foul mouth in this one, but heβs speaking French so heβs forgivenβ¦also the reader has no idea what the hell heβs saying to her. Itβs creepy in a cute way! The fic doesnβt include actual smut, itβs just Sanji fantasizing out loud about the things he wants to do with you, but if youβre in the mood for some good olβ sexual tension, give it a read.
36. πΆ Ma chΓ©rie by marriedtosanji
He lied to you! About being French, of all things! I would never forgive him. Heβs really good in bed though, so he makes up for it. The smut here is so delightful it does a 180% and goes back to breaking my heart over the fact that Iβll never meet a cute stranger in a bar who wants to seduce and is also Mr. Sanji Onepiece himself.Β
Voyeurism
I swear this isnβt even in my top 10 kinks, I guess that Sanjiβs character simply inspires a lot of authors to put him in situations where heβs staring. Watching. Ogling. Observβyouβve got the gist of it.Β
37. βItβs entirely too obvious [...]β by @ofallthingsnasty
[giggling and kicking my feet] the reader makes Sanji sweat cold in this oneβ¦I love when heβs nervous, I love when heβs desperate for forgiveness! He doesnβt do anything bad, but the fic is all about him watching the reader eat and obviously liking it a bit too much. The mood is suggestive but overall it stays pretty innocent until the end.
38. πΆ Voyeurs by snackshack
Thank you Zoro and Nami for your help in making this happen, we couldnβt have done it without you. Sanji and the reader are in a freak4freak relationship, a match made in Heaven. Very good smut and a delicious premise!
39. πΆ Perversion by glossyjoonie
@Sanji: babygirl you suck β₯ Short and sweet fic part of a larger collection (there are other Sanji-focused chapters, check out those ones, too!) where Sanji gets caught spying on all his favourite ladies: Nami, Robin, and you. Robin sticks around for a while in this one, but in the end the reader is the one who shows Sanji what happens to boys who misbehave.
40. πΆ Just Between Us by @mytanuki-kun
This man is always spying on you in the shower, in bed, from behind a bush or whateverβ¦itβs about time he gets a taste of his own medicine. I adore this fic, I remember reading the first chapter and hoping the author would update as soon as possible because I was hooked. Sanji catches you ogling him in secret and he plays into it cause heβs a horny bastard and the love of my life. The writing is incredible and Sanjiβs characterization is so, so dreamy and sexy and adorable.
Thatβs all, folks. You have enough material to survive a nuclear war, you can spend many happy decades closed in your bunker eating canned food and reading reader insert One Piece fanfiction.Β
My final, desperate request is this one: does anyone have the link to a Sanji fic where heβs 40 years old and he hired a babysitter (you) for his kid, but then one night the kid is somewhere else and you two end up hooking up? Please? Pretty please? I think it was part of a collection or series but I canβt find it anywhere!
