with his hands' and it was an AMAZING place to start but i would also like to highlight 'where you gonna be (when the money run low)' which is a coffee shop + vampire and vampire hunter au. this fic is so charming and funny, and deeply soulful when it counts.

(⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠) don't mind if i do HAHA
summermidnights is one of my favourite authors. every fic of theirs is written with such profound care and thought and i really feel that they come from a very personal place, and that's so precious! i started with 'still left with the river, still left

IMPECCABLE TASTE i don't recognise all of the fics featured, but the ones i do recognise are like, my TOP top favourites!! definitely checking the rest out!!

so yay thats how he ends up with sanji and zeff and sora!!! and here are some extra EXTRA old doodles. it's 12:40am i need to sleep lmao. sorry i can't draw kids consistently IM TRYINH

the others point out that sanji's place has a spare room so he winds up staying there. and when he still can't make it to kuina's the next day, it turns out to be a more permanent arrangement than expected.

they drag him along to the east blue crew's meet-up spot where sanji and nami are waiting. he asks for directions then learns how far off he is. it would probably take 2 hours to fly there (more because he cant fly straight but he's not admitting that) so he decides to settle down temporarily.

when he lands, he tries to follow kuina's directions on the ground but unsurprisingly can't find the right starting point considering he's in the completely wrong town. but he meets luffy and usopp!!

(i hope you can tell that that's a marimo on a broom below.) SO. you're supposed to fly in the direction your broom is pointing at, right. but zoro somehow manages to fly diagonally while his broom points straight. it's impressive, really. but very unhelpful. so he ends up along the east blue.

kuina settles somewhere where there is a small community of witches (tashigi, okiku) so invites zoro along because it seems like a good idea to learn from each other to become the best. unfortunately, zoro is shit with directions.

i know there's something up with the swords and grades because i read through the op wiki when i thought i would never pick up the anime. so the swords are now cats and the high grade swords are cats with unnaturally long lifespans to play into that 9 lives thing. wado is a large, wise, white cat.

so zoro and kuina grow up in shimotsuki village. kuina doesn't die and when she's 13 she sets off for her training with wano, who is a cat. i imagine that before this they are raised by zoro's mom, tera, but that's just because i don't know many swordswomen from the series yet who could teach them 😭

with how popular the trans zoro hc is, i thought someone would have already written this au on ao3 or something but to my shock... none!!!!! so i took it upon myself to waste away hours thinking about them :D it was very easy to spiral down that thought train. and now i'm here

i didn't come up with the idea for this on my own. it started with scrolling on pinterest. literally just search "zoro kiki's delivery service" and you'll easily find the two images that spawned this. they're by tanktrunk on tumblr. the below are my own

lord i feel so lame and annoying im laughing at myself irl about this stupidity when will i ever be a normal social media user

i really need to name this au. its gonna be something obnoxious. like. zoro's spellcasting potionmaking delivery service. #zorosspellcastingpotionmakingdeliveryservice LMFAO its so ugly

I ASSUME I WILL BE SHOUTING MAINLY AT MY BEST FRIEND HI BEST FRIEND IM GONNA POST SO MUCH ABOUT THIS AU AND FEEL FINE WHEN I GET NO INTERACTIONS BC IT WILL BE BECAUSE I DONT KNOW ANYONE HERE AND NOT BC OF A MEAN ALGORITHM!!! 🥳🥳🥳

i mean whhhaaaaaat??? see what?? i don't see

OOPS
