This is just one of the best gen/friendship fics I have ever read, period. It’s dramatic, it’s funny, it’s sincere, it’s unbelievably in character, it’s touching, it’s thrilling and it has one of the sweetest endings to a friendship fic. The plot summary really doesn’t give much away but basically the crew are on an uninhabited island and after sanji is attacked by a flower which leaves him temporarily blind, it is up to zoro to play the role of a guide dog in order to lead sanji back to the ship. Just from the setup alone, you can practically foretell what kinds of nakama fluffiness will take place and let me tell you there’s fluffiness and then some. As I touched on before, the characterization is perfect. At no point while I was reading did I think “wait he wouldn’t do that” or “there’s no way he’d say that” which is something I always love in zosan friendship fics. This is a fic where, the story and writing are so good, that at times you can actually imagine seeing this happen in the canon universe. And while on the topic of good writing, this author is also bloody talented. She has this great style which is quite witty at times, but always informative and it’s extremely easy to immerse yourself in the story. The descriptions and imagery are so in depth, you know exactly what the characters are feeling, seeing, smelling, hearing and tasting at all times and that is exactly what I want when I read any kind of story.
