“Beautiful, Shikamaru had thought breathlessly, and was nearly bowled over by the force of the realization, the strength of his desire.”
Damn. DAMN. I want to experience that.

Summary
Sakura is a rōnin, but she's good enough with a blade to find work. She's trusted at Fukiage because she's a nameless woman who can't afford to bite any hand that feeds her.
Shikamaru's awful attitude makes him a favorite in the teahouse. He makes his money on his back but his real trade is information. There is rot in Fire Country. Shikamaru sees it, and he is going to burn it at the roots.

Love love love love love love love love
I love when characters are very obviously attracted to eachother and sensible enough to do something about it… enemies to lovers / oblivious characters / misunderstandings etc. are all delicious tropes but this !!!!!!! this is what I like!!! inject it into my veins please -

On his deathbed he was granted eternal peace and place to rest for all of time. Of course that was not appealing to him. Ever unpredictable to the end he had a counter offer. One that the Sage had to consider.In which Sakura's going to have a rough time. A really rough time.

this fic is the BOMB.. I read it on ff.net way back when before realizing it was also on ao3
I love Sakura and I hate Kishimoto for treating her like an accessory. this fic gave me the Sakura kicking names and taking ass that I badly craved.. also the themes of self sacrifice, depression, everything aside from the goal falling to the wayside.. Sakura's shift towards self-healing, her decision to choose herself, her beginning to see a point to her continued existence... and finally.. the great tragedy, the final sacrifice. Chefs. Kiss. Muah.

The part where Sanji tells the bounty hunter she would regret it if she shot him because of what Zoro would do to her for it was so well written.. I could see vividly in my mind's eye; the side of Zoro's face glaring up at her from the floor, a black look in his eyes.. so cool.

Summary
Law was certain he'd had Eustass Kid pegged. He was ruthless, fearless, amoral – just a beast trying to devour as much as he could stomach before his end caught up with him, no finesse or thought other than his next meal.
For once, Law was glad to be wrong.

Law tilted his head back to look Eustass in the face before he turned on his heel, unruffled by the fact that he was turning his back to a reportedly unstable Supernova.
"Maybe not in the middle of the street,” he began, hiding a smirk as he held his hand out, palm down.
"Why don’t we get a Room?”
Omggggggggg heeeeheeee haaawwwww... Got me giggling and kicking my feet
