Fandom #23: One Piece
May. 6th, 2008 02:23 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
This fandom was all due to Maldoror, who I followed from Naruto to One Piece. That must have been sometime in 2006. The fics are a mix of humor, slash, or both. There may be some het in the authors' archives. EDIT: 9/14/18, to add one fic series.
Authors:Sadly, most of the prolific authors whose fics I liked have left the fandom, and tossed aside their works at the same time. RIP, Paxnirvana (your Smoker/Ace long!fic will haunt me), Ecphrastic (so funny!), and PTPS (you made crack!fic sound reasonable). Those who are still left have some drabbles and longer fics in their LJ Memories:
~Chibi Trillian
~Sasori Katana
~As mentioned, Maldoror has some great stuff. Specific highlights:
-Like Steel for Chocolate (Sanji has an unusual skill when he cooks in a state of high emotion; eventual Sanji/Zoro and background Luffy/Usopp)
-Up on the Peak (Kaku of CP9 has lost his purpose, but Zoro finds it for him, ironically enough; sure seems like Kaku/Zoro)
-Interlude for Eight Straw Hats and One Giraffe (In which all named parties are coincidentally at the same place at the same time; gen)
-Hot Seat (CP9 tries out - and wears out - several candidates for Director; gen)
-The Games of Fate (Lucci left behind a pregnant OFC who seeks Paulie and Iceberg's help; past Lucci/Paulie and eventual Iceberg/Paulie)
-The World's Greatest Swordswoman (Zoro isn't bothered by a Devil Fruit user's genderbender curse, although Sanji suffers an existential crisis when he has to be courteous to fem!Zoro; Sanji would like it to be Sanji/Zoro-chwan)
Fic:
~An Officer and Some Gentlemen, by Y. St. Ace. Smoker and Tashigi are forced to attend a cotillion on a civilian island. Hijinks ensue. Gen.
~Communication, by Jaelle. The Strawhat crew use a Dendenmushi for their own, silly, purposes. Gen.
~Grand Line Weyr series, by Tonko. A crossover with Anne McCaffrey's Pern. The main characters are dragonriders. Ace/Smoker.
~Lessons in Love and Devotion series, by drcalvin. Johnny and Yosaku are already committed partners when they meet Zoro and simultaneously share a desire to bed him. It takes five fics for them to reach that point. Johnny/Yosaku leading to Johnny/Yosaku/Zoro.
~One Piece, Version Two, by Sakurazuka_jae. If the canon members were, uh, not available. The replacement crew is just wonderful. Gen, some implied slash (Navigator --> Captain, Captain --> Marine).
~Prison Blues, by donutsandcoffee. Picture a prison heist, but with the Benny Hill music.
~Raptus Regalis, by Mettathron. AU that was jossed by the 2016 Sanji arc, but nevertheless makes a good guess at the twisted dynamics of his family. Warning for cannibalism. Mostly gen, perhaps a little Sanji/Zoro.
~Rubric, by Manic_intent. Smoker and Ace have a plotty, adventurous romance. Great OCs, particularly the female D. character, and some really good scenes. Ace/Smoker.
~Rules of Love, by Sabershadowcat. Sanji and Zoro are crewmates, with benefits. They certainly aren't in love - or, at least, Zoro knows Sanji isn't. Sanji/Zoro.
~RUMBLE!, by TreeStar. Luffy eats one of Chopper's Rumbleballs, to his detriment. Luffy/Zoro.
~Seven Deaths, by X-Parrot. Sanji defiles a priestess and must undergo ritual cleansing. Except none of that is precisely true. Zoro stands by to keep his nakama from giving up. Gen.
~Switch Switch, by PeroxidePest17. Another genderbender Zoro fic, with the predictable result of Sanji/Zoro.
~Whores Are Cheap (But Not For Zoro), by Alita B Angel. Zoro meets Johnny and Yosaku "at work". How they eventually end up traveling with him, the next day, depends a lot on the night before. Johnny/Yosaku/Zoro.
