Home-cooked Meal by AliaElia - Rated G

When Luffy and Usopp talk about restaurant food and home-cooked meals, Sanji wonders what a home-cooked meal really is and why his food doesn't fall into that category.

lend me your ear then (my dear friend) by SkyGem - Rated T

Zoro knows that his crewmates don't like him.

Not that the fact of it bothers him at all.

Did you hear me? by Whistler_Ren - Rated T

“I always wondered if anyone would hear me,” he whispered, a quiet admission from a child who’d long since forgotten he was allowed to hope.

“I know,” Robin nodded, and her heart surged now with something deeper than sympathy. Deeper than understanding, even. Like her soul was reaching out and touching his.

---

Robin wants to understand her nakama. More than that, perhaps, she longs to understand herself. Sometimes, it's possible to do both at the same time.

You Got A Friend In Me by curlystrawhat - Rated G

Let them talk, let them call him names, he would gladly accept it, but he would never, under any circumstances, allow anybody to make fun of his crewmates’ dreams, and whoever dared to do so, well, Zoro was more than happy to show them exactly why he had the reputation he had.

Or

Five times Zoro defended his crewmates' dreams + One time they defended his.

without it, we wither (with it, we thrive) by mad_and_thick_as_thieves - Rated T

In which Luffy loves to cuddle, there's no escaping his rubbery reach, and his crew is 100% okay with that.

(rewritten from ff.net, previously called 'pirates don't cuddle but who the hell cares?')

insatiable. by codhya - Rated G

But then Luffy says, join my pirate crew.

One look at that blinding smile and those wide, unfathomable eyes made Sanji hear the words for what they were.

Be greedy with me.

And Sanji, he finds that he is starving.

On Sanji, Luffy and hunger.

A Gilded Cage is Still a Cage by awwminn - Not Rated

The Straw Hats are summoned to watch their past, present, and future.

Cue a lot of nakamaship and trauma.

Traces by kitnjinx - Rated T

Robin had learned over the entire course of her life to be ready to vanish at a moment's notice, to never be seen or heard. To always calculate her movements.

Never leave a trace behind, lest she invite danger to follow at her.

And then she met the Straw Hats, and she never could have expected how the crew would turn her world on its head.

Maybe The Real Treasure Was the Friends We Made Along the Way by thestarsinbetween - Rated T

In one way or another, the members of the Straw Hat Crew had all suffered losses. But aboard a little lamb then a proud sun, they rebuilt their own family, their home. Too bad the world was too narrow-minded to see how bright they shone, they didn't need anyone but themselves.

OR

No one came into this world to be alone.

Can You Hear the Drums? by mannaray - Rated T

One shot from Robin’s POV recounting the events that lead her to join the Strawhats by finding hope in a boy with a strawhat and rubber skin.

Rituals. by arurun - Rated G

Every household has its customs, every ship has its traditions. It’s no different for these pirates, especially after spending so much time on the same ship.

A series of headcanons regarding the daily life of these pirates.

Carry Me With You by lampalot7 - Rated G

Luffy likes being carried around. His crew likes it too.

Scars and Burns by Hikkentikken - Rated T

“Mhm,” Luffy confirmed, sitting still for Chopper. “Half my organs burned off though. It was why I was in a coma for so long.” The silence was almost palpable, and in hindsight, would’ve been a funny one if it wasn’t for the topic at hand. “WHAT?!” (In which the Straw Hats learns more about Luffy's scar)

Commencing operation ‘Show the world Zoro is a good bro’ by erakun - Not Rated

5+1 thing but actually an 8+1 thing (kinda but not really) in which Zoro loves the crew in his own way and that one specific time they very publicly (and embarrassingly) show it back

steel-ing for dummies by kamusari56 - Rated G

The Straw Hats realizing that Luffy can (canonically) break metal with his teeth.

Gen:

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by MelodramaticCoffeeAddict (NR) ❤️

After a twisted turn of events, Zoro starts out as Vivi's swordsman and ends up as Luffy's.

In which Zoro is kidnapped and sold into slavery as a child, eventually escaping and swearing his loyalty to the king and princess of Alabasta. This is an absolutely fantastic fic, but it’s very dark. Trigger warnings for rape, child abuse, and human trafficking, with realistic but somewhat harrowing depictions of trauma. If those are topics that you’re okay to engage with in your fanfics, then this is 100% worth the read.

Benn’s Confusing, Bewildering, No-Good, Very Odd Early Morning by grainjew and Origamidragons (G)

Some eleven months into the Red-Hair Pirates' stay on sleepy little nowhere Dawn Island, the sun falls out of the sky.

I love a time-travel fic, I love a POV Outsider fic, and I love the inherent comedy of Gear 5. So, here we are!

Like Ink Through Her Veins by grainjew (G) ❤️

I love the women of One Piece so very much, and how the bonds that the Strawhats forge stretch far beyond them.

In other words: in which Vivi gets lonely, sometimes, and seeks refuge amongst the passing pirates. Some minor namivivi, but I figured this fic fit more accurately in gen :)

no greater love by grainjew (G)

In which Franky is the Thousand Sunny, in heart, in soul, and in maybe a little more.

Sukat Sh’lomecha by grainjew (G) ❤️

In which Usopp decides to ask Luffy about haki.

I was on a grainjew kick, can you tell? I love Usopp so much, and I especially love Usopp in Dressrosa. Oda, you gotta bring back Usopp’s observation haki…it’s what the people want.

The Albite Island Incident by IronicVeghead (G)

This one is fun. You know those scenes in a movie where a bunch of characters are being interrogated, and it jumps between them humorously to piece together the story? Yeah. That’s what this fic is. There’s a bit of zosan in here, too, but this fic felt much more like an ensemble cast fic than anything, so here it lies in gen!

Welcome to All Blue by ZephGale (G) ❤️

This little fic is weird, cozy, and utterly delightful! In which Usopp, a stressed, broke, and hungry college student, stumbles upon a bizarre restaurant run by a ghost.

God’s emperor by lowdmg (T)

In which Shanks stumbles upon a young god on the island of Goa.

I have a deep and unabiding love for the theology of One Piece, as demonstrated by this fic and many others on this list!

King of the Fae by bubblegum_ink (T) ❤️

This is technically a zosan fic, but it’s also very much a Sanji and his relationships with everybody (including Zoro) sort of fic, so for now this seems like a more apt placement :)

There’s a lot of very lovely and wonderful things going on in this fic, so I’m going to do my best to summarize it in as few sentences and spoilers as possible!

Sanji is ten when he first meets a changeling boy on the edge of the forest where the fae dwell, and twelve when his father holds his funeral and locks him away, never to see the light of day. After years of war with the fae during Sanji’s imprisonment, the King of the Fae extends an offer—peace, in exchange for a sacrifice of royal blood. And lucky for Vinsmoke Judge, he has a son he wouldn’t mind being rid of.

In Which Higuma Doesn’t Get To Get Drunk, Even Though He Really, Really Wants To by grainjew (T)

This fic is just pure, unadulterated fun. In which Wano-era Luffy snaps back into the body of his younger self, right as the mountain bandits are confronting Shanks and his crew. Hilarity ensues!

take me home, somehow, take me home by nebula_pirate (T)

These are my fic recs, so of course we have Sanji angst! In which Vinsmoke Judge shows up at the Baratie, demanding his son back—but Zeff won’t let him go without a fight.

Time Moves Through You by lampalot7 (T)

If you read lots of time-travel or Marineford fix-it fics, then you’ve probably heard of this one! And…that’s basically a sufficient summary lol, it’s a time-travel Marineford fix-it fic with Gear 5 terrorizing the woefully unprepared marines :)

we pray to a new dawn by grainjew and Origamidragons (T) ❤️

(Coby has a god. Nothing changes.)

And yet, so does everything.

One component of One Piece that continuously fascinates me is religion and godhood, and this wonderful, wonderful fic is a part of a series that explores the worship of Nika. grainjew also has a series of posts (linked here) exploring the religion of Nika within the canonical world of One Piece, and they’re absolutely worth the read, if you’re similarly fascinated by this topic.

a thousand winds that blow by Glitter_Lisp (M)

In which Zoro befriends a small grim reaper with an iron mask.

I know the state of your hands by thepatchmatrix (M)

Essentially, a time travel fix-it fic that’s more of a non-linear character study than anything. In which the Strawhats and Heart Pirates are catapulted into the past, and try their damndest to find their way back to each other. There’s some very minor lawlu, but not nearly notable enough to categorize as a lawlu-specific fic.

Lawlu:

Call It Love by All_My_Characters_Are_Dead (T)

I will never not be a sucker for magical realism. Basically, a modern magical realism AU in which Law, a veterinarian and witch, has to contend with “love friendship at first sight” and regular human Luffy, while also desperately keeping the secrets of the magical world away from him under threat of bodily harm from the overprotective Ace and Sabo.

The Medium, the Surgeon and the Ghost by CatLovePower (T)

In which Law has a bit of a ghost problem, and Luffy and his crew of paranormal investigators are happy to help!

My Heart Is Still Beating (But I Lost It Long Ago) by betsib (E)

Law is travelling alone between quarantine zones when he comes across a young man with three bullets in his torso and an unflinching look in is eyes.

Zombie apocalypse AU! Also includes some non-con with Doflamingo, because he’s a possessive asshole.

Taking It (Literally) by Shaa_Knaa (E)

Ya know, this fic feels apt with the second iteration of the get him pregnant poll running as I write this. In which Law has a breeding kink, Luffy takes the reality-bending abilities of Gear 5 to their illogical extreme, and their poor crews have to deal with the consequences.

The Sun and Death: A Series of Godly Events by PanRice (T-E) ❤️

A series of fics, ranging from lore to myths to gratuitous smut. In which the god of the sun falls in love with the god of death, and courts him determinedly.

Multi:

Accompanied by Trixree (E)

A classic monster trio fic! In which Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji are telepathically bonded together by an errant devil fruit, and crippling self-worth issues, polyamory negotiations, and telepathic sex ensue.

Exposed Desires by TableTennis (E) ❤️

Ahem. Standing here in front of you all, proudly declaring my kinks. Basically, citrus trio hypnokink smut, with Dom!Nami, mostly Dom!Zoro, and mostly Sub!Sanji. Fun is had by all :)

The gentlest common denominator by ragthyme (yesfir) (E) ❤️

Okay, OKAY. This fic may be my favorite One Piece fic in all of existence, I literally went feral for every update. Like, it literally has everything I could ever ask for! A short list:

1. Genderqueer Sanji. I go insane for Sanji with Gender, and this fic does a FANTASTIC job of exploring that in its peripherals.

2. A ship-wide QPR, with separate romantic and sexual relationships within that. The main ship focused on is Sanji x Zoro x Law x Luffy, but there’s some background sanami, namivivi, usokaya, and the implication of something going on with the adult trio. But setting aside traditionally defined relationships, the whole crew loves and cares for one another so clearly in the way that the Strawhats always should.

3. A kid fic, including a well-written child with realistic, age-appropriate dialogue, and the entire crew stepping up to collectively parent said child.

4. Time for the Sanji angst now, because ALSO. Good ol’ Vinsmoke Yonji comes along! And as a result, we get a fascinating exploration of the emotionally stunted Yonji, the bonds of blood and chosen family, the abuse suffered by the “golden” children, the weight of conditional love, grief, guilt, and redemption.

5. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough? Frequent references are made to my favorite little details in the world of One Piece. The worship of Nika, and of Luffy. Food as an offering. Introspective and insightful perspectives on every last person sailing on the Thousand Sunny. This is just a fic written by somebody who clearly has a passion for the world of One Piece, and who loves all of these characters just as much as a I do.

Basically? Please read this fic. You can skip over the smut, if you’d like—it’s clearly marked. But if you’re anything like me, I promise this fic will blow your mind.

Namivivi:

mark your northern point by me by authenticaussie (G)

I will always be a sucker for soulmate AUs, much as I will always be a sucker for some good namivivi :)

send me a postcard (when you get to where you’re going) by SeaWitchDreams (T) ❤️

Nefertari Vivi makes the selfish choice.

Hey guys. This fic had me crying for reasons I can’t even fully articulate. There is something about dreams and selfishness in service of freedom that will always make me emotional, and this is sort of like…if Vivi got a happier “ending,” so to speak? If she got to chase her dreams and put her happiness before her country’s, then this is a little somewhat how it would look.

Sanji/Katakuri:

95% cacao by tciddaemina (M-E)

I cannot for the life of me remember why I clicked on the first fic in this series, for a ship I’ve never been interested in before. But good god, am I glad I did! This is a wonderful little series that begins with Sanji’s mostly involuntary imprisonment on Whole Cake Island, and explores the relationship between two fucked up and abused twenty-somethings who are attracted to strength and kindness.

Zosan:

And the Sky Will Burn by Balderdashfromafool (T)

A medieval fantasy AU, in which Sanji possesses the ability to wield fire—a trait unique to the infamous Vinsmokes. And Luffy, the personal knight of crown prince Zoro, has appointed Sanji to fill the post in his absence. This fic is inspired by BBC Merlin, and it absolutely shows! The tension between the “commoner” with forbidden magical powers and the crown prince, who has a…complex relationship with his father. The romantic tension. All of it is just an absolute treat :)

come over, come over (i won’t make the same mistakes) by Veto_power_over_clocks (T) ❤️

Literally obsessed with this fic, aka what would happen if you combined a pining Sanji and Chekhov’s Gun and wrote it into a fic? It’s such a beautiful and creative take on time travel, in a way that feels both domestically mundane and bittersweet. Also features original characters that will have you wishing they were canon :)

don’t look too long, or you’ll forget to fall by Resacon1990 (T)

Who doesn’t love a 5 + 1? Featuring: five kisses from Zoro, one kiss from Sanji, crippling self-worth issues, and a very supportive crew :)

together, the wolf and the ghost by dogloser (T)

This fic is weird in the best possible way. Just…a bizarre little oneshot, with Werewolf!Zoro and Ghost!Sanji. I love supernatural AUs, especially when authors create something unexpected!

Words of Affirmation by IronicVeghead (T)

In which the Strawhats discuss their love languages, and Zoro does not possess the zosan brain cell.

and then the sun came out by demonzoro (shrinewreck) (M) ❤️

In which Zoro and Sanji are both monsters, and only another monster can be trusted with their soft underbelly.

This is a gorgeously written oneshot, following zosan’s relationship from crewmates to friends to something more. And, of course, some demonic and divine imagery, because I’m nothing if not predictable.

Footage Not Found by socksock (M) ❤️

When a contestant drops out of the reality dating show Nami's producing, she has no choice but to convince Zoro to step in at the last minute.

Zoro's not here to make friends. He's not here to find love.

He accidentally does both anyway.

Look. I have never watched a single episode of Love is Blind in my life, and now I never will—since I’m sure the show will never manage to top this AU in my head. This fic features the single best portrayal of Tashigi that I’ve ever seen in a One Piece fic and just…a fantastically fun romp through the dumbass world of reality tv.

Balefire Brews by IronicVeghead (E) ❤️

A cozy (and deceptively intriguing) urban fantasy AU, featuring Demon!Zoro and Witch!Sanji, fantastic world building, and some excellent smut.

Clothing Optional auspizien (E)

A modern AU, in which Sanji caters a bachelorette party and meets Stripper!Zoro. I feel like the best way to sum up this fic is with the following tag used by the author: "This Was Supposed To Be PWP But It Grew Long and Fluffy"

cut the lifelines by foxglove (FeralPen) (E)

The appeal of this fic is probably rather niche, but if you enjoy nontraditional A/B/O dynamics and well-written children in kid fics, then this one will probably hit the spot! Be sure to check the content warnings, though!

Draum by Balderdashfromafool (E) ❤️

This fic is an absolute gem! Basically a Viking AU, in which Sanji escapes from the Vinsmokes and finds himself in a disarmingly kind village, with a disarmingly kind king. There’s Norse and Celtic mythology, the slow building of love and trust, and some zosan fucking like animals to finish things off.

Give In To Love by LibbyLune (E) ❤️

An ambiguously sentient temple full of treasure, a love confession, and achingly gentle smut. In that order.

Hold Me Down by mellish (E) ❤️

Sanji gets an allergy that makes everyone lust after him. Zoro is apparently immune.

Sanji acquires sex pollen-induced sex appeal. Zoro has, unbeknownst to everyone, already been sufficiently inoculated.

Homesick by summerofspock (E)

Essentially: zosan meets a Hallmark movie meets Teen Wolf, the fic.

Parable of the Good Samaritan by auspizien (E)

How many vampire fics are on my lists at this point? Anyway…

Sanji is convinced his neighbor is a serial killer, but finds out he's actually something much worse...

Peace without a War by summerofspock (E)

Zoro has a system. Sanji has a secret. They make a deal to handle things together.

Basically, a canon-verse BDSM AU. But like…the A/B/O adjacent sort, where some people are designated as doms or subs. Kinda a fun blend of Omegaverse and kink exploration :)

Pinned and Needled by surveycorpsjean (E) ❤️

Ohhh boy does this fic give me feelings, having gone through my own share of traumatizing injuries/surgeries with long recovery times and loss of independence. They fucking suck, but there’s something cathartic about seeing a character go through a similar experience, feeling the same things that you did, but with the unconditional support of their friends and family.

All this to say: this is a fantastic fic. Sanji has his hands severely injured in a traumatic battle, and is forced to confront his feelings of inadequacy as he relies on his crewmates—especially Zoro. Also, the sex is sweet and tender but also really fucking hot. Just…a fantastic fic.

Savior Complex by Harubo (E)

A modern AU with Model!Sanji and Bodyguard!Zoro. Also, some good ol’ “they don’t realize they’re dating” for the soul. Immediately followed by smut lmao.

Scarlet Fever by Nadare (E)

To nobody’s surprise, it’s yet another vampire AU! Sanji is turned into a vampire, and is forced to rely on Zoro for a steady source of blood. Featuring: the inherent eroticism of bloodsucking :)

Shimotsuki Salt and Sand by Harubo (E)

In a remote village by the sea, a visiting writer falls in love with the local used bookstore owner.

This one is just…very sweet. In which Sanji is a famous author who uses the pen name Prince, and Zoro is a temperamental used bookstore owner, and also Prince’s biggest fan.

The Fourth Sword by JollyRogue (E)

Sanji accidentally discovers that Zoro has a very big dick.

Ahem. Sometimes, you just want to read some absolutely filthy porn. And come on, the title is great.

The Presence of Absence by auspizien (E)

In which Sanji returns from Whole Cake Island without any memory of his relationship with Zoro, and the two are forced to relearn and rebuild.

To the Victor Belongs the Spoils by IronicVeghead (E) ❤️

In which Alpha!Zoro takes a wrong turn on his way to meet up with Luffy in Wano, decides to join a tournament of strength hosted by the seafaring kingdom of Germa, and ends up winning a prize he was wholly unprepared for.

Featuring A/B/O ethics and explicit consent!

Underprepared by LibbyLune (E)

Some good ol’ Omegaverse porn, this time featuring Alpha!Sanji and Omega!Zoro! Also far more tender than you would expect :)

Utilities Included by strawhattery (E) ❤️

Who doesn’t like some nontraditional Omegaverse? In which Alpha!Sanji moves in with Alpha!Zoro, and things simply…come together from there.

Veracity by IronicVeghead (E) ❤️

As the author so aptly puts it themselves: “A love letter to having open discussions with your sexual partners.”

In which zosan are each (separately) hit with a truth spell (or devil fruit, whatever), and communicative smut ensues.

Wingman by summerofspock (E) ❤️
