Imagine Zuko when you’re paralysed with fear at the sight of Azula…
It had been a peaceful morning just like the previous two days - until the ground quaked violently. Eyes flew open at the imminent danger and Aang was quick enough to deflect an incoming fireball as the rest of the group scrambled to their feet.
Zuko’s eyes widened when he realised their attacker. “It’s Azula.”
You had just thrown a bag into Appa’s saddle when you heard him and ice trickled through your body. Stumbling back, you accidentally stepped on Momo’s tail to which he screeched and then nursed in his little paws.
You would have apologised. You would have done anything but you stood frozen with fear clawing at your throat seizing all breath.
There was a series of calls for you but it was fuzzy to your ears - all but one. Golden eyes found themselves in your line of vision until it was all you could see. A warm hand against your waist, another on your cheek giving off a natural heat that thawed you for a few moments to focus.
“Look at me. You need to get on the saddle, okay? I’ll handle this.” Zuko said.
You took in a small breath, apparently you were still alive and breathing. Unable to find the words, you blinked and it was enough for the Prince.
He gently but quickly urged you towards the sky bison where Sokka had a hand extended. When he had yours gripped firmly, Zuko let you go and ran for the ledge to face his sister.
What happened in the moments after were a blur, there was yelling and the smell of fire and earth in the air. Appa was speeding through the valleys in order to escape and you held the side of the saddle to keep from flying off.
Just as he levelled out, you heard a voice in the air. That conceited, cold, relentless one that spent days and nights in your prison chamber. Then you heard her laugh - the very same one that echoed when spikes of lightning shot into your shackled, defenceless body until your screams forced blood.
Scrunching your eyes, you let go of the saddle and covered your ears. You didn’t care if you flew off. You just wanted to be away from her. Curling into yourself, you laid on the leather base and tried to drown out the sound.
There were shouts from somewhere above. A hand gently pressed against your arm as Appa changed flight and dipped low hard. The hot rush of air reminded you too much of the prison cell and memories began to flash. You started to drown in them, missing the additional thud of a body in the saddle.
Appa levelled out once more, still maintaining speed but the loud voices outside had reduced to softer tones - unlike the ones in your head.
Your nails dug into your scalp as your mind drowned you in the very worst trauma. And you begged for it to stop. You’d do anything for it to stop.
Something familiar moved closer, warm hands finding purchase over yours. They were steady and safe, carefully prying the tight hold away. A muffled voice made its way through your head and worked a soothing balm across the chaos.
Finally, you could feel a line between the past and reality. And you fought hard to stay in the land of the latter.
The air around you had cooled. Your cheeks felt wet and your hands were holding onto a soft fabric that smelled of home.
It was enough to finally pull you out of the haze and understand where you were.
Zuko was laying with you. His arms wrapped protectively, body flush against yours. His head nuzzled by your neck while his mouth whispered to you alone.
He was telling you a story about a prince who promised to give his life to protect the love of his life.
“You’re the love of mine.” He said with a gentle squeeze. “You will always be and I will never let you hurt like that again. I promise.”

Imagine some sweet banter with Sanji in the kitchen…
“You want to take this outside?” Patty frowned, slightly bothered by Sanji’s laid back attitude after slowing the line.
“Are you asking me to dance because I kind of had my eye on that blonde at Table 8?” Sanji smirked as he walked down the aisle, slipping the tweezers into his apron.
Thriving on the buzz of the kitchen rush, you manoeuvred around Patty with a tray of desserts in your hand with a spin and landed in stride with Sanji in the aisle.
“It’s adorable that you think you have a chance with her, Sanji.” You teased and glanced back at Patty speaking a little louder so he could hear. “I’m certain that Miss Table 8 prefers men with coloured hair.”
The cooks chuckled and nudged Patty with cheers of encouragement. He may have been a little gruff on the edges but you grew to break down his walls just enough to brighten up his day.
Returning to the task at hand, you moved aside a bowl of frosting and set the tray down as Sanji did the same.
As the two of you fell into the usual groove, he leaned in a little.
“Feeling a tad bit jealous there?” The cook smirked.
You quirked a brow and dipped your finger in the icing bowl that you had experimented with earlier that day (only for Zeff to throw a fit about it).
“Oh Sanji, if only there was something to be jealous of.” You pressed the decadent cream onto the tip of his nose and smiled at your artistic work.
Stepping back with a laugh, Sanji wiped your attack off and admit his defeat. He needed to be careful otherwise his heart would physically jump into his eyes.
Your eyes caught the beautifully constructed fish on the plate and pat his shoulder. “Zeff’s going to throw you into the East Blue if he sees that.” You warned.
Sanji pressed his hands over his heart, his brows knit together curiously. “Are you offering to resuscitate me?”
You held your gaze but as the weight of his words settled into your mind, your eyes briefly flickered to his lips. If you kissed him, you’d need resuscitation immediately after.
Shaking your head at his antics, you smiled and made your way back to your station. Perhaps you could calm your racing heart when there was a sea of people blocking the blonde from your view.
It was better not to reply and let him win this playful round.
Despite being in a kitchen, there was something different brewing between the two of you.
Proud of himself when you folded, Sanji began his return to his chopping boards when the kitchen doors opened and Zeff called him back almost immediately. Upon returning to the table, Sanji explained his pride and joy of the evening.
His True Bluefin Sauté.
“The day the Baratie serves something like that is the day hell freezes over.” Zeff snapped and the clatter of plates told you that he had binned the dish.
Oh boy… You took in a deep breath while trying not to be so distracted by the duo. Twenty seconds of background shouting later, your timer went off and you swapped pastry trays filling the kitchen with the sweet smell of sticky date pudding.
Zeff snapped his fingers at you as you were bringing the latest delicacy over. “Change aprons, you’re my ‘second’ from now on.”
You placed the tray down and called for a server to take the desserts to their respected tables before shaking your head at the owner of the Baratie.
“Zeff, I can’t. I mean, I could but I’m working on the fruit pies. They’re delicate and need-”
“I know, they need your undivided attention. Patty can keep an eye on them. I want you overseeing this kitchen now. No more dual sous-chefs. Seems like the list of people I can trust is growing thinner by the day.” Zeff instructed and looked at Sanji.
“You’re off the line. Now get out there and wait the tables. Go!”
Shoulders tense, Sanji tugged off his apron and threw it on the table. From the way you saw his jaw clench, you knew he was holding back some unsavoury comments. Once the furious cook had changed and left the kitchen, Zeff turned to where you had been watching Sanji and picked up on the sadness in your eyes.
“And you - don’t even think about letting that Little Eggplant pick up so much as a fork in here. Understood?”
You had almost not replied if the man hadn’t snapped his fingers. Focusing back, you realised he was staring at you with a hardened expression
“Yes, chef.” You nodded half-heartedly.
Zeff grunted and then disappeared to another part of the restaurant.
Patty walked by to set a new dish down on the table in front of you and handed you a fresh apron. He also noted the way your posture sank with Sanji’s absence.
“Come on, this kitchen isn’t going to run itself.” He said kindly. "You can see him later."

Imagine talking to Makino about Shanks...
You woke up to a soft kiss against your shoulder. Feeling the bedsheets shift a little, you heard quiet footsteps pad across the room until they eventually disappeared. Stretching, your limbs ached reminding you of pleasant moments from the night before. You hummed at the comfort and slowly fell back into a deep slumber.
When you finally felt the sun the backs of your eyelids, it was clear that it was time to get up. With a small huff, you gathered your energy and began to start the day.
Once you had freshened up, you peered into the room adjacent and found that it was missing one troublesome curly-haired boy. With a small hum, you ventured out to village to the only bar that he frequented.
“If you’re looking for Luffy, he’s under the piers again.” Makino offered when she saw you enter with eyes darting around the empty chairs.
Her comment eased your mind. At least he was safe in his space. Taking a seat opposite the working woman, you sighed a little.
“What day is it?” A yawn escaped your lips and Makino passed you the only drink that helped lift your spirits mornings like this. Her special blend of ice and select fruits was incredible.
“It’s the end of the week thankfully. Come to think of it, it’s the second last week of the month.”
Choking on the liquid, you leaned forward and hammered your chest to clear your airways. You had thought yesterday was just a rogue visit.
Crap. Quickly setting the drink onto the table, you turned to face the harbour and saw the familiar flag of the Red-Haired Pirates draw near which meant that-
“Shanks is back!” Luffy declared as he ran into the bar and stood in front of you. His eyes were bright with excitement and his smile carefree. Knees bounced as he could barely contain himself.
“Shanks is back!” He cried once more before dashing out of Makino’s bar with great speed towards the port.
“Hey!” You called out and leapt from your seat to the edge of the Makino’s bar.
“Luffy, don’t run so fast!” The warning fell on deaf ears. Resigning, you leaned on the wooden pillar.
“That kid’s going to be the death of me.”
“I would have thought that you would be just as excited?” Makino wondered as she restocked the shelves. “That ship means their Captain is here as well.”
You smiled a little at the mention of Shanks and took a seat at the bar. “I - um, I actually saw him last night.”
Makino hummed a little and sent you a knowing smirk. The captain of the Red-haired pirates had been smitten with you ever since he landed months ago and she had caught him sneaking out of your home on many occasions.
Raising an elbow to the table, you leaned against your palm and sighed. “What am I doing Makino?” You asked. “I work during the day, I’ve somehow become Luffy’s guardian and now I’m sleeping with a pirate.”
“I think you’re enjoying the fruits of life. Especially when they sail in a day early just to see you.” The barkeep comforted. “It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
She was right. It was okay to live in the moment and let things be as they are. Besides, Shanks made it adamant to give his heart to you from the start.

Imagine telling the Doctor why you’re hesitant to take another trip…
We should do it again. What do you say to another trip?
You gave your reply and the Doctor frowned, quite honestly very puzzled to have heard the word from your mouth. “Did you say no?”
You nod back unsure of why you felt so shameful about it. You had nothing to be ashamed about. Your reply was based on fact.
“Why?” The Doctor questioned. “We had fun didn’t we? Met new people, ate lots of food.”
Taking a long sigh, you walked around the console, fingers gently tracing the oddly shaped glowing buttons.
“I just - I can’t.” You said and paused to look up at the Doctors face. “It’s not that I don’t love our trips or your company because I do. But I…”
“You what?”
“I’m scared.” You confessed and before the Doctor could begin listing a hundred of the scariest foes you both faced, you continued. “I’m scared of what happens to the people you travel with.”
The Doctors expression dropped. It was unreadable and you hated that it was you who had been the cause of it. Unfortunately, it was the truth and you promised the Doctor early on to never lie unless it was critical.
But right now as you stood before the Time Lord - you wished you had lied.
“Listen, I know it’s not your fault. But I’ve seen the history and it doesn’t lie. To venture with you is like a-” you stopped yourself from saying ‘death sentence’ and started again. “I love our adventures. I enjoy a few risks. But even you can’t guarantee that I’ll return home.”
The Doctor simply stared at you. There was no movement, it honestly had you questioning if the two hearts were even beating. After what felt like ten supernovas, the Doctor moved to the console and flicked at a few buttons and knobs until the TARDIS began to stir.
“Where would you like to be dropped off?”
At the question, you felt a lump in your throat. Swallowing it down, you provided your destination and watched as the Doctor mapped a course before leaving console and disappeared behind a large door.
As you felt your heart break, the TARDIS whined mechanically. Gently rubbing the console, you sighed. “I don’t want to go either. But I’ve been marked with a bio-tracker. Wherever I go, enemies will find us. If I don’t leave now, the Doctors life will be in imminent danger and that’s one risk I’m not willing to take.”

Imagine refusing to wear a boiler suit while travelling with Law…
“Absolutely not.” You said while scowling at the jumpsuits that were expected to be worn by the Heart Pirates. Bepo had offered an orange one but you made a face and pushed it away assuring the bear that while he looked great in it, you wouldn’t.
“I’m a Straw Hat. I’d rather drown in the sea before wearing a uniform.”
Law had been leaning against the rails while watching the scenario play out. The Polar Tang was still docked as the crew restocked supplies. You had been helping load some crates when the matter of dress code came into the mix and you absolutely refused to entertain the thought.
“It’s mandatory.” Law stated. It was a simple request that he expected for his crew - wear appropriate gear while aboard the submarine. “While you’re staying with us, you’ll follow the rules just like any other member.”
Crossing your arms, you threw him a scathing glare as if silently challenging the man. You took a step forward and pressed a finger into the tattooed skin of his chest. You were so furious that you missed the way he jumped at the touch.
“I’ll follow every command while I’m confined to this vessel. But if you want me wearing something that hideous, you’re going to have to undress me yourself.”
Bepo squeaked in surprise at the directness. Shachi and Penguin lowered their heads to conceal their smiles while most of the crew were bustling on the dock.
The expression that fell over Law’s face was priceless, amusing anyone who was in vicinity at the time. His mind betrayed every controlled thought as a great many images flashed before his eyes - of him peeling back each layer of clothing until you stood nak- stop yourself! Law willed almost having to bite his own tongue to bring himself back.
Out of the Straw Hats, you and Robin troubled him the least. But between you and Robin, you made him stumble the most and he never knew why.
When the man recollected himself, you were still standing before him, arms crossed. Still daring him to make you wear the uniform.
Law couldn’t find a way to respond that wouldn’t prompt another retort from you so he stepped back, turned on his heel and exited the conversation entirely.
“Do what you want.” He said and then disappeared into the ship.
Bepo lowered his paws, eyes wide. “He didn’t shout or punish you.” He realised and looked to Shachi and Penguin who were also quite bewildered.
You huffed. “Good. His grip around here is like a damn vice.”
Ikkaku walked by with a barrel and smiled at you. “He’s had to be otherwise we’d be sunk by now.”
Unfolding your arms, you forced all the tension away. Well, as best you could. You looked out onto the open seas and missed your home aboard the Thousand Sunny.
“He seems like he overreacts.” You muttered. Almost instantly the crew around you belted out in laughter clearly familiar with their captains dramatic ways.

Imagine Uther's disapproval after finding you drunk...
When the morning came around, you didn’t remember how you ended up on Arthur's bedroom floor. You had gone out with everyone for a simple celebratory drink. You did, however, remember waking to a pair of boots in your line of vision and a very disapproving voice from the King who had been looking out for you. 
“The tavern? Honestly, have you no respect for your title?” 
You rolled onto your back and slowly opened your eyes with a squint as the morning light filled the chambers and blinded you. You didn’t respond and instead, chose to stare at the King while he scowled.
“You’re lucky no one saw you drunk. I dare not think what would happen if your behaviours affected the business of state.” He all but ranted. 
“Good morning.” You yawned.
Uther shook his head, seemingly giving up on lecturing. Turning on his heel, he marched out of the room. 
“It will be a better one when you get dressed and join us for breakfast.” He said.
Rubbing your eyes, you sat up slowly and looked around the room. With the King already mad with your late night shenanigans, you decided it wouldn’t be wise to anger him further. Standing up, you folded up the blankets and returned them to their original places at a much slower pace than you would as the hangover started to settle in.
You left your friend's chambers and made your way to your own room to clean up and change. 
Fortunately, you avoided seeing anyone for a while, however your luck ran out when you got to your door as Merlin was exiting.
“Oh, you look terrible.” He chuckled. Squinting, Merlin leaned forward and examined your movements. “How much did you drink last night?” 
You waved him off and shrugged, “Just a few flagons of ale.”
Merlin quirked a brow at the very dismissive response and you sighed. “Alright, more than a few. Look, I never back down from a challenge - especially not from Gwaine!”
Merlin laughed with a small head shake. “I brought you a tonic. It should help you feel better.” 
Presenting a small vial of purple liquid, you took it quickly and smiled. “Thanks Merlin.”
Taking the hangover cure, you ducked back into your chambers, bathed and got dressed in fresh clothes before setting out for the Great Hall where Uther and Arthur were presumably waiting.

Imagine realising that Buggy has been upset about a misunderstanding...
“Don’t think I don’t know what you did. You got into Shanks’ head. You convinced him to let me go!” Buggy shouted. He turned away and began picking at the straws on the hat in his hands. The stretchy kid wasn’t around to complain about it anyway.
Your jaw dropped. When did you ever do such a thing?
You respected Buggy as much as you did Shanks. You never told the red-haired pirate to let him - oh. That damn phrasing was familiar and the more you thought, the quicker a memory from many years ago resurfaced.
A private conversation between yourself and Shanks that clearly had another set of prying ears. Lowering your head, you let out a soft laugh from the absurdity of it all.
Buggy frowned at your reaction, turning slowly. “Something funny to you?”
“You flashy fool.” You looked up meet his angry-yet-confused blue eyes. “That conversation was never about you.”
Shanks lowered his bottle and frowned. “Could you repeat that?”
“No. You heard me the first time.” You declined. “It happens, Shanks. There are times when people have to be let go from the crew.”
“But, Buggy-”
“He doesn’t need the details.”
There was a thump outside the door making you jump. Shanks walked over and opened the panel to find the deck empty. The crew were asleep with only the gentle rocking of the ship and occasional sea breeze.
“Must have been the wind.” He said and promptly closed the door again. Turning around, he folded his arms. “I’m still not onboard with this.”
You exhaled. This was quickly becoming tiresome. “Shanks, I-”
“Listen, I don’t care that you’re falling for Buggy. It shouldn’t be the basis to leave.”
“I’m compromised. I can’t be certain that I’ll be at my best if my thoughts are elsewhere. What kind of loyalty is that?”
“Loyalty is the willingness to fight for what you love. And if you’re fighting for Buggy, I will gladly support it.” Shanks said with finality and stepped across to envelop you in a hug. “You’re not leaving us. Besides, Buggy would kill me almost immediately.”
“You were going to leave?” The blue-haired pirate asked completely bewildered.
You nodded. “I was until you jumped the cannon and did it first.”
Buggy scoffed in return. “You were talking about me in a private room with that idiot. That’s not what a crew does.”
“I was confiding in a friend. You eavesdropped, drew your own conclusions and have been moping around because of it” You snapped, starting to grow more frustrated.
He didn't give you the chance to explain back then. If he had, you could have told him how much you loved him and maybe - just maybe the three of you could have sailed the sea together.

Imagine Bucky being present when you wake up…
You woke up with a sharp intake of air. All of which caused great deal of pain to your chest. A small cry escaped your lips and you felt a soft hand touch your cheek gently. 
You opened your eyes, fearing the worst but your frantic heartbeat calmed at the sight of Bucky. Your ease seemed to have rubbed off on him as you could visibly see his shoulders unwind from their tense stature. 
His eyes, however, never dimmed in concern. “You’re awake.”
You were. And very quickly the events of the night came crashing back. From the idea to the restaurant to the attack, you stared up at Bucky with a sad expression.
“Your date?” You whispered, certain that the night hadn’t panned out as intended. You weren’t sure what reply Bucky would give but the scowl on his face surprised you a little.
“After everything that happened, you want to know about the goddamn date?” He wondered, his brows furrowed.
It was clear that he was angry. You just weren’t sure if he was angry at you or for you.
“Of course. I-you were supposed to be having an enjoyable night.” You reminded him. He didn’t reply. Bucky only stared back with confusion. You brought a heavy arm to rub your temples as if a headache had come on and let out a small sigh. “It’s okay. It was a minor setback, we can try again next we-”
“Minor?” Bucky repeated. The low timbre of his voice almost raised your armhairs. “You nearly died in my arms tonight. My arms, Y/n.”
He cast his head down. Eyes darkening at the memory of a few hours ago replayed. “I should have killed them all.”
Your eyes widened. Fear crept into your muscles. Had one bad situation sent him into his Winter Soldier ways?
As if he could sense your question, he locked eyes with you but they were a touch kinder. “They probably won’t be walking again but they’re alive.”
You visibly relaxed. And the way you looked at Bucky almost made his knees give out. 
“Why did you follow me into the park?” You asked.
Crossing the floor, Bucky reached the side of bed and took your hand. His thumb stroked the soft skin in a calming motion.
“When I stepped inside the restaurant and looked at all the faces, I realised something.” He said. “I don’t want to be on a date if you’re not on the opposite seat.”

Imagine breaking Sanji’s heart so that he joins the Strawhats…
“I told Zeff that I’m not going to be a waiter.” Sanji’s voice rose, already tense from the shouting match he had with Zeff about leaving the Baratie to follow his dreams.
“Well, you can’t be a cook here either.” You argued, fighting the urge not to throw up at the lies tumbling out of your mouth. “Why do you even want to stay if you know that?”
Sanji stared at you incredulously. “Zeff can’t run this place by himself and I wouldn’t dare to leave you. You know this.” He turned and resumed cleaning the broken plates.
You watched him work quietly. How had your innocent love transform into a flame that slowly swallowed his bridge for opportunity?
He wouldn’t leave the Baratie, Zeff failed to convince his decision and you felt your stomach drop at the realisation of what you had to do to push him over the edge.
You had to break his heart. Composing yourself, you hardened your expression, bracing for what was likely going to be your end.
“I want to be with someone who isn’t a coward.”
Sanji physically reacted to the words. The broken dishes clattered as they hit the floor while his muscles tensed under his shirt.
“Excuse me?” He frowned, looking over his shoulder.
Holding firm, you turned your bones into steel the second that you felt them going weak. As much as it hurt you, you had to hammer further.
“You’re a coward, Sanji. You call yourself a chef with dreams but when the opportunity rises, you hide behind your comforts.”
“I am not a coward.” His tone told you a nerve had been struck.
“You are. You always have been. I just ignored it while being swept by your affection. But not anymore.” You reaffirmed. “I don’t deserve someone so low.”
Picking up the towel from his shoulder, Sanji tossed it on a broken table angrily.
“No, you don’t.” He commented bitterly.
Turning on his heel, the young man stormed out of the Baratie. The only uplifting thought that crossed your mind was that he was headed in the direction of Luffy and his crew.
Now standing in the silence. The realisation of what you had said finally caught up. You had spent countless days laying in his lap dreaming of a future where you’d both sail the seas endlessly for the All Blue.
That’s all it was - a dream.
A choked sob escaped and just like that you were crying, dropping to the floor amongst the broken plates and the shattered remnants of your heart.
Zeff barged in when he heard the loud thump. Worried, the ex-pirate rushed over. He saw the tears and the shaking shoulders and his stomach dropped.
“What have you done? What did you say to him?”
“Nothing that will bring him back.” You whispered.
Zeff bent down and wrapped his arms around you to console but his comfort only forced your heartbreak to the surface. “I’ve lost him, Zeff.”
Running a hand over your back, Zeff was devastated. He was convinced that Sanji would marry you - in fact, Zeff was so convinced that he had already planned out the catering for the day and had a theme or two in mind for the decor.
All he needed was Sanji to place a ring on your finger. But as the day had unfolded, it was clear that it was merely the dream of a fool.
You had achieved what the head chef couldn’t, paying the heaviest price of all - love.

Imagine Law catching you impersonating him…
Placing the white hat on top of your head, you wiggled it slightly to get the right adjustment. It was a slightly looser fit but it was enough to not slip off.
Crossing your arms, you attempted to pose with a menacing scowl.
“I’m Trafalgar D. Water Law.” You declared mimicking his tone.
Shachi and Penguin threw their heads back with a cackle. Ikkaku clasped her stomach and barrelled forward. Bepo jumped up with his paws in the air.
“Do another one!” He cried in delight.
Turning your back to them, you laughed before recomposing yourself and then whirled around halfway. One arm was extended, fingers and palm facing down.
“Room.” You called out, resulting in the same boisterous laughter from the crew. You flipped your hand upright in the same manner as the broody captain did. “Shambles.”
…silence.
You frowned and looked at the faces staring back at you all traces of their previous smiles gone. Had you done it wrong?
Even Bepo was looking at you funny with his jaw slack.
Looking over your hand and stance, you scratched your head. “I’m sure I got it right.” You said and glanced at your friends. “Was I not deadpan enough? Or broody? Maybe I wasn’t dramatic enough…”
“Y/n-ya.” Law called out.
Turning your head to him, you sent him a quick wave. “Oh, hi.” You said before returning to figure out what was wrong with your performance.
Recounting all the elements, it took you longer than it should have to realise that their lack of cheers was because you all had been caught by the Heart Pirate Captain.
Your stomach should have dropped, you should have frozen in fear like the rest but there was a sense of pride in you. Law was far too rigid, his reasons were valid, but a simple moment of lighthearted humour surely couldn’t hurt. Although, maybe he’d disagree if it was at his expense.
He stepped forward and you couldn’t help but internally chuckle at his unruly hair. You would definitely attempt to rake your fingers through that mess to bother him next.
He looked at his frozen crew and with a single glare, they scurried to their usual duties. Bepo squeaking in a panic before he too vanished to hide.
Law looked at you and let out a small sigh. “I told you not to take my hat.”
He reached out to take it back when you ducked and stepped out of reach.
“You also told me that I’d be back on the Thousand Sunny three days ago.” You argued.
It’s not that you didn’t love a few extra days on the Polar Tang but you were desperately missing the antics of the Strawhats and it was starting to show aboard the Heart Pirates.
Law said nothing to address the delay. He closed the space and lifted the soft fabric from your head to place it back atop his own but this time, it carried the faint scent of your shampoo.
You watched as he turned and started to walk away. With a smile, you cupped your hands over your mouth.
“Admit it, it looks better on me!” You called out behind him.
Law merely lowered his head, hiding a small smile - it definitely looked better on you.

Imagine waking up on Sakaar to find Loki trying to help…
The last thing that you remembered was Thor being struck down by the Obedience Disc and the Hulk leaping into the air but you couldn’t quite make out if he made impact… what happened?
Then you remembered feeling a pain from your own disc before blacking out. The sting wasn’t there but you were feeling something else, something warm and light against your chest…like a cloth?
And another flashback of the sharp debris flying in your direction after Hulk missed Thor rocked you awake.
You opened your eyes and saw raven hair and a familiar set of green eyes, brows furrowed with concentration. The face was attached to the hand that was cleaning the wound on your - currently very bare - chest that was only partially covered by a blanket.
You sat up immediately and clutched the thin sheet against your body with one hand. First, you were very clearly not clothed in any aspect. And second, you’ve been separated from the one friend you counted on and locked in a room with your twice-fake-dead-on-and-off-again lover.
Scrambling out of the bed, your other hand was stretched out to keep Loki at bay who had moved closer to try and calm you.
“No, no, no. I can’t be here.” You said quietly.
Loki shook his head and took one step forward. When he saw you move backwards to maintain the distance, he stopped. “You are and you’re injured. If you would just let me-”
“I need to find Thor.” You cut him off and looked around the room for some clothes. Noticing some garments at the foot of the bed, you walked towards it and winced when your ribs started to protest.
Loki’s eyes widened when he realised that you were planning to defy the grandmaster and stage an escape. A dangerous feat in this place.
“You need to stay here and recover.”
Holding the Sakaarian clothes in your hands, you looked to the dark-haired prince. “Turn around.”
Loki couldn’t help but soften his expression of concern and smiled. “It’s nothing that I haven’t seen before.”
You cursed internally as memories flooded back of tender moments with him under the stars where he’d be most at peace. But you quickly pushed those thoughts back knowing that if you dwelled for too long, you were certain to forgive Loki. And if there was one thing that you wanted it to make his road to forgiveness after all the deceit long and hard.
If Thor had heard you, he would laugh in your face knowing that you could never commit to a plan where Loki was involved. Instead of speaking the thoughts aloud, you rolled your eyes and started towards the door, clothes and blanket in hand.
“I’m going to find somewhere else to get dressed. Surely there’s a guard who could let me…”
Loki jumped forward and took hold of your elbow. “Alright, fine! I’ll turn around just please, don’t leave.”

Imagine telling Luffy about why you don’t like Shanks…
“Why are you always so upset with Shanks?” Luffy wondered.
You brushed the young boys damp curls and twirled a finger around each strand to define the shape.
“He and I used to travel the seas, you know? We fought sea beasts and all kinds of pirates together.”
Luffy leaned forward. “Really? Was it cool?”
“Very cool and dangerous.” You reminded him with a small hair ruffle to set him back on the chair properly. “We were caught in an ambush and I was injured. Shanks brought me home, promising that we’d set off again after I was healed.”
Luffy grew excited. Maybe if Shanks came for you, he could also be taken along for the journey.
“Are you healed? Do you know when he’ll take you?” He asked.
You frowned and replied rather bitterly. “I was healed up over four years ago.”
Shanks had the audacity to pay a visit these last few months and spend time with Luffy while pretending like nothing had happened. It infuriated you and Luffy clearly caught wind of it.
There was a knock at the door. Your eyes darted up to see Makino standing there with a smile for Luffy.
“The ship has made port.” She told the boy.
Luffy jumped off the seat and ran for the exit. “Sorry Y/n, I have to go!”
You sighed at his speed hoping that he’d be careful on his way to the docks.
Makino looked at you while you put the chair away. “Are you coming as well?” She asked and when you didn’t reply she continued. “He’s been asking for you.”
You glanced over your shoulder. “Tell him I-”
“I’m not telling him you drowned again. You’ll have to face him one way or another.” Makino said and then left to resume her duties at the bar.
Honestly, you’d rather not seek out the pirate who abandoned you. Let him have his fun. Yes, you couldn’t avoid him forever but you could reduce the hours in his presence.
And so that’s what you set out to do, you walked wherever the straw hat wasn’t. If he was at Party’s Bar, you were at home. If he was at the docks, you were by the furthest windmill.
You last saw the red-haired pirate downing a bottle of booze at the bar with his little curly haired shadow on the chair beside him. While they were busy, you decided to rearrange the furniture in your home finally able to tend to things that had been long neglected thanks to Luffy always running in and out of trouble.
Fixated on stacking books by the corner of the front room, you missed the soft padding of footsteps coming to a halt by the open door.
“I heard you ‘drowned’.” A voice said, sending chills down your spine. “Imagine my surprise when Luffy told me that you did his hair this morning.”
Shanks mused at you as he stood by the threshold of your door.
Damn, when did he leave the bar? You rolled your eyes and then turned around to place a blanket into a wooden drawer near to where he stood.
“Odd.” You hummed. “I thought you would have welcomed a lie? Aren’t you filled with them or is that only when they’re directed at me?”
Shanks stepped into the room and took your hand to stop you from walking to the next task. He knew exactly what you were referring to. For months you both had avoided the topic by the way you dodged him but this was finally the opening he needed to clear the air.
“I never lied. I fully intended to come back here in three months. But each danger I faced, every terror that sailed into our path and all I could see was the risk of losing you.”
You scoffed at him. Captain Shanks of the Red-haired Pirates was scared? You were surprised his nose hadn’t grown.
Not wanting to talk further, you attempted to leave the house entirely when the man who stole your heart caught you once more.
“Hey,” Shanks took the reins and guided you to the wall, gently bracing you against it. He was tired of the anger of the anger in your eyes, only wanting you to see him like you once did. His hands settled in their rightful place on your waist.
“There are very few things that I am afraid of - but from that list, the fear of losing you is at the very top.”
As you stared in his warm eyes, you were reminded of a saying he often said aboard calmer seas and private moments.
Shanks gazed back at your face, the one he was deprived of seeing each day. He brought one hand to rest against your chest and raised your own to sit above his own. He leaned forward and pressed his lips against yours in a delicate kiss before pulling away gently.
“I’m not a selfish man by nature.” He whispered. “But for your life and your love, I can be.”

Pairing: Poe Dameron x Reader
Warnings: None. Angst, romance, humour.
Summary: You’re informed of what happened to Poe...and it couldn’t be straightforward.
You sat by the monitor and continuously flipped through the life scans of Jakku. It had been 8 hours since news reached the base of a First Order attack on the planet and all contact had been lost with Poe Dameron and his droid BB-8.
You had barely gotten a wink of sleep. The destruction of the village haunted your thoughts and the fear of losing Poe in the field was the reason you worked relentlessly to find the Resistance pilot and his droid.
Most of the officers had retired to their bed chambers for rest but there were still several others that remained working. Leaning forward, you set your head to rest on the palm of your hand while pouring over footage for the hundredth time.
“Lieutenant?” A voice called out.
Turning to the right, you saw General Organa looking back, grim-faced. An expression that you knew to be accompanied with bad news.
Standing up respectively, you saluted the Princess of Alderaan. “General. Is there a problem?”
Leia let out a soft sigh. “Follow me.”
The two words were frightening. They could lead into anything. You followed the General to the X-Wing bay and caught up to walk beside her. Leia had kept quiet most of the way which only heightened your concern. So you spoke up.
“General Organa, what are we doing here?” The bay was operating as usual and there didn’t seem to be any apparent disruption.
Leia stopped walking and you turned to face her.
“We recovered the body of Poe Dameron.” Leia revealed.
You wanted the ground to swallow you. Your mind went blank and suddenly you couldn’t remember what Poe looked like. Mouth falling dry, your chest began to ache… then a voice made itself known as it approached.
“I think we can skip Jakku from our list of honeymoon destinations.” Poe joked - very much alive.
You turned and saw the familiar messy black hair. Running forward, you threw your arms around Poe’s neck – engulfing the man in the warmest hug. Your nails dug into his shirt holding him tight as if he would disappear again. 
Then the choked sobs of relief escaped.
Poe’s eyes widened, his arms squeezing just a bit tighter. “Hey, I’m here. It’s okay.” He looked to Leia and she shook her head at him.
“I warned you not to play this trick.” She reprimanded.
A commander approached the princess and requested for her to join them in the war room. Leia nodded and left to complete her duties.
After a few minutes, you finally calmed enough to release Poe. You studied his face and noted the bruises printing his skin and blood-stains over his top. The side of his head was wounded and his trademark jacket was missing.
In spite of the obvious damage, he glowed.
“I thought I lost you.” You told him.
Poe nodded sadly. “You almost did aboard the Empire’s fleet.”
“You were taken captive? How did you-?”
“I promise I’ll tell you everything but, uh…” Poe rubbed his neck sheepishly. “I think my X-Wing is busted.”
Any other day, you might have warned him about damaging the jet but, as of this moment, you could care less about it. Smiling with relief, you grabbed Poe by his shirt, pulled him close and kissed him without a second thought. Poe placed a gentle hand on your cheek and returned the affectionate token until you pulled back slightly.
“As long as it’s not you.” You whispered. Poe wrapped his arms around your body, staying close – thankful that he had made it home. He knew that they had a new mission to find and retrieve BB-8 but it could wait for a few moments with you.

Imagine Buggy confronting you for siding with Shanks…
“It’s okay, you can admit it.” Buggy nodded directly opposite to where he had you tied to a wooden pole. He had planned to capture the stretchy boy with the straw hat but to see that you were travelling with them - it was unexpected.
And the second you tried to reason with him, Buggy was livid. A singular memory resurfacing from when you were both younger - one that he couldn't get over.
“Tell everyone how you reacted when I needed you.”
You closed your eyes and turned away. The hurt in his voice was beginning to break your heart. You knew exactly what he was referring to. When you chose to side with Shanks and his crew, it was simply for security instead of Buggy’s anger and recklessness.
“Please don’t.” You whispered and felt Buggy’s voice boom through the air angrily which sent a shiver through your body.
“Say it!” He demanded. “You abandoned me!”
Sucking in a breath, you refused to meet his eyes. You were unbelievably sorry for how that day played out and Shanks saw how it chewed you up in the weeks after.
You’d give anything to go back and set things right.
Buggy physically recoiled when he saw a salty teardrop fall from your closed eyes and his stomach churned. He once fought tooth and nail to punish anyone who made you cry. Now he was the one who was creating them.
Yes, he was angry. He wanted you to feel the sting of your betrayal but he never wanted to reduce you to tears. Never.
Stepping back, Buggy hardened his resolve against his hearts wishes. “Maybe you’ll finally feel a fraction of what you put me through.”

Imagine being frustrated with Reddington again...
Red was in the middle of a very crucial case trying to deliver Elizabeth Keen information that she needed. Just as he opened a bottle of scotch, you walked into the room unannounced with a frown and your phone in hand.
“Why did you piss off Hakim?”
Reddington sighed and waved you off. “Not now, Y/n.”
“No. I’ve already bought my outfit and now he calls and tells me ‘not to bother coming to the wedding’?” You argued and looked over to where Elizabeth was standing, flashing her a smile. “Hi, Liz. How are you?”
The young woman cleared her throat and folded her arms awkwardly, caught in the middle of the feud. “We’re - uh - trying to find a chemical weapon that can’t be traced.” She explained briefly.
Reddington had poured himself a glass but found the drink quickly swiped from his fingers by a very annoyed you. Sipping the scotch, you turned to Elizabeth.
“Have you tried isolating the radiation levels to their subatomic particles? Something that small will leave a path.”
Elizabeth’s eyes widened and she looked at Reddington. “I thought that wasn’t possible?”
You chuckled and took a seat on Reddington's sofa. “That’s because you’re not me.” Looking back at the man by the bar cart, you pointed at him. "Now, about that wedding invitation..."
