Review: Tatsumi and Tsuzuki miscommunicate on their first night together, just before Nagasaki. As a result, even though they both love one another, the canon failure of their partnership occurs. 50 years later, Hisoka and Watari figure out what happened, and try to push the two back together - but a rising evil may end their reconciliation before it even begins.
If you're curious about the fandom/canon, try Ashlea's Cropped Scan Theatre for a (funny) summary of the existing manga. Hmm, for everyone else, this is a yaoi take on the duties of shinigami, or "death gods"; here, they're the traumatically-killed dead, who make sure that everyone dies on schedule. They usually get too emotionally involved to be really effective. Also, sprinkle some sorcery and serial killers on top.
If you hate plots that hinge on a nigh-ridiculous communications failure, then maybe this series is not for you. On the other hand, canon itself somewhat supports this plot: Tatsumi does love Tsuzuki, and hasn't told him about his feelings, and he does try to make Tsuzuki happy by supporting Tsuzuki's new partnership with Hisoka. While Hisoka/Tsuzuki and Tatsumi/Watari are the fandom OTPs, this fic makes you root for old unrequited loves.
The first story covers that night 50 years ago. The second story involves Hisoka and Tsuzuki talking about Nagasaki, and Watari comforting Tatsumi. The last story expands the series' plot out beyond the personal dramas of the shinigami, and could be read by itself as an interesting episode of the anime, complete with monsters, resurrections and angst - however, Scribblemoose deftly weaves in the issues from the first two stories, and really ties the series together in an entirely satisfying way. The communications failure is solved perhaps *too* easily, but at that point, I was ready for a happy ending.
Bonus: P.L. Nunn was commissioned to, and drew, two pictures for this series (very NSFW; there are links at the end of the fics).

Title: Whores Are Cheap (But Not For Zoro)
Fandom: One Piece [Bonus fic time!]
Pairing: Johnny/Zoro/Yosaku - really!
Categories: Humor, crack, crossdressing; *technically* prostitute, actually virgin
Length: Medium [~5,000 words]
Warnings: hints of non-con
Author on LJ:alita_b_angel
Website: Obscene Obsessions
Review: "Whores are cheap, Johnny and Yosaku, cheaper." Zoro has just started out as a bounty hunter, but no-one prepared him for this crazy innkeeper and her insistence upon proper "entertainment".
Poor Zoro - he just wants food and sleep, but some old hag insists on including "delights" in the hotel price. He gets two ladies who aren't, well, ladies at all. Poor Johnny and Yosaku - they want to be bounty hunters, but first they have to pay off their debts, and this woman says that this is how the two need to work it off. She'll know if they don't satisfy him!
Fun, and I wish that this was really how the three first met. A quick and silly fic, that still stays as in character as possible. Note: If non-con squicks you, then the foreplay before Zoro starts participating may be a no-go.

Poor Johnny and Yosaku - they want to be bounty hunters, but first they have to pay off their debts, and this woman says that this is how the two need to work it off. She'll know if they don't satisfy him!
Fun, and I wish that this was really how the three first met. A quick and silly fic, that still stays as in character as possible. Note: If non-con squicks you, then the foreplay before Zoro starts participating may be a no-go.

Review: "Whores are cheap, Johnny and Yosaku, cheaper." Zoro has just started out as a bounty hunter, but no-one prepared him for this crazy innkeeper and her insistence upon proper "entertainment".
Poor Zoro - he just wants food and sleep, but some old hag insists on including "delights" in the hotel price. He gets two ladies who aren't, well, ladies at all.

She'll know if they don't satisfy him!
