Legacy by Roseveare
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: gen
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: Luffy makes his decision. He will not leave the swords. Rather, he will find them a new master or masters. "You hear that, Zoro?" He pats the ground, like knocking for the sleeping swordsman's attention. "I'm going to take them away, but I'll find them all a place, even if one of them is cursed and tricky. I hope that's what you'd have wanted."
>>: Terribly sad, but just lovely. Despite the premise, the angst, I thought, isn't too brutal—it's just right (perfect!) This is probably the best story I've come accross in this fandom so far.
30 drabbles by PTPS
Rating: PG
Pairing: various; mostly nakamaship
Warnings: drabbles
>>: (Indexed by pairing here.) A nice set of drabbles spanning a wide range of topics, pairings, and degrees of seriousness. Be sure to browse the rest of PTPS's stuff afterwards, because there's plenty more where this came from, and even the most discriminating fan should be able to find something to suit him/her. I particularly enjoyed this darkish drabble featuring Luffy and Robin, and this silly yet rather clever one-shot featuring the whole crew and some monsters and a broken 4th wall.
A Heightened Sense of Things by Clio Simetra
Rating: G
Pairing: slight Zoro/Luffy
Warnings: ficlet
>>: ^_^
Conspicuous Consumption by PTPS
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Sanji/everyone (except Chopper, thank god)
Warnings: one-shot, crack
>>: I think my brain just broke. *dies* Okay, first of all, don't touch this unless you want to be scarred for life. All I'll say is that it involves dessert and Sanji being an incredible perv. That aside, this is actually extremely well done (no less talented author would be capable of so deeply violating the readers' minds.)
Five's Bad Company by tami
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Luffy/Zoro/Sanji/Nami/Usopp
Warnings: one-shot, OT5
Summary: Nami pulls away and pushes him forward; rocking him into Usopp, her hands suddenly underneath Zoro's shirt until she can hear him choke, straining so that she can kiss the sensitive lobe of his ear where his earrings hang. She tugs with her teeth. Zoro makes a noise as if she has just kneed him in the groin. "Kiss Usopp."
"What?!" His masculinity flares back, and he starts to try and pull away - thank their lucky stars and the calm sea, no room. "Nami, you - "
She hisses it, then, a mantra, begging, - takes Usopp's hand in her own, can hear his indrawn breath, nearly weeps in desperation - "kiss him, kiss him, kiss him, kiss him."
It is probably the first and only time Zoro does exactly as she says: maybe he even does it just to be contrary, maybe he doesn't know why, maybe it's just the dreamy urge to abandon all Not Kissin' Usopp urges and maybe it's because it was his first kiss too - but he does it. She wants to see it so much. Usopp's hand goes limp in hers and he squawks, all of them shifting and stuck and ferocious and forgotten - and it goes on for quite a while before Zoro pulls his head back up and bellows, "What the fuck am I doing?"
"Kissing us," Nami explains, as if he is a small child. She starts to unbutton his shirt. (Why does Zoro think he looks good in orange and blue palm-tree pattern? It is a mystery. Actually, she decides, he looks so incredibly insanely adorable in it he should wear nothing else - no, she changes her mind, he shouldn't wear a shirt at all. The devils on Nami's shoulders announce a new naked dress code.) "Please kiss me too."
>>: Quite strange. Also very funny, and somehow well done. XD Go OT5.
Grace by Alena
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: gen, Zoro/Luffy subtext
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: 'It isn't who you are that determines how you deal with a tragedy. It's what you lose.'
>>: This is probably the second best One Piece fic I've read, if only because Legacy manages to be terribly sad and still somewhat fit in with the tone of the series, while this doesn't try. Heart-wrenching but absolutely lovely. I whole-heartedly recommend reading everything else on her profile too! It's all very, very good.
Lifeguard by Chibificus Maximus
Rating: G
Pairing: slight Zoro/Luffy
Warnings: ficlet
>>: An aimless little piece in which the Straw Hat boys enjoy a day at the beach. Super cute. ^^
Wavering by PTPS
Rating: G
Pairing: gen, slight Luffy/Sanji
Warnings: ficlet
Summary: There's a reason they all follow Luffy.
>>: *squees* Cuuute~!
The Lion and the Lamb by Quatrina Raberba
Rating: PG
Pairing: slight Zoro/Luffy
Warnings: one-shot
Summary: 'Usopp, uneasy with the idea of sailing with an infamous swordsman like Zoro, gets a surprise -- and some comfort -- when he walks in on something unexpected.'
>>: Super cute! The first One Piece fic I ever read, which may explain why I have such an inclination towards this pairing.
