Summary
"He hasn't even talked to us yet!" the boy was shouting at him. Mihawk had hoped he wouldn't have had to deal with doomed children anymore, but his successor in the mentor role was making things difficult. "How can we have a chance at winning if our mentor doesn't even talk to us!"
"Do you really want him to talk to the two of you" asked Mihawk. The boy shuddered and the girls lip trembled and neither of them said anything else. It was clear everyone still had last year’s game still fresh on their memories, and with good reason. Mihawk doubted there’d ever be another game as bloody and short lived, which had become a surprising problem the World Government was still grappling with to this day, and a headache Mihawk could do without.
OR: Mihawk shows the district 1 tributes of the 42nd Hunger Games how their predecessor, the infamous Demon of District 1, won his games the year prior.

Summary
‘Do you feel that Zoro?’ she asked him. He looked at his mother questioningly. Her eyes had a faraway look to them, her smile was soft but true. It must have been ages since she’d been able to reach the coast, he realized.
‘Do you feel that? It’s the pull of the sea’
Zoro blinked a few times at that, caught off guard. He tried closing his eyes and holding his breath, but only the breeze answered, carrying droplets of sea water that landed on his cheeks.
‘I don’t feel anything’ he said. He wilted a little at the thought of letting her down, but she only laughed softly.
‘That’s okay love’ she said as she gently squeezed his shoulders ‘You’ll hear the seas calling one day’
OR: A look at Zoro's early life before he met the strawhats and the journey he took to get to them

Summary
“All of that makes you beautiful,” Kakashi whispers, his breath hot against Obito’s skin. He feels the soft press of Kakashi’s lips as his mask slides down. “Your scars are beautiful, Obito.” A cold hand makes its way beneath his shirt, tracing the edges of his scars, and Obito can’t suppress a shiver. “They’re mine. You got them because of me, so they’re mine and I say they’re beautiful.”
At the celebration of Kurenai's promotion to Jonin, Obito makes a mistake.

Summary
1933. New Orleans.
Vincent Whittman’s assignment (punishment) seems simple enough: recruit Mr. Alastor Hartfelt, the city’s famed radio star.
But his trip derails the moment he meets the man dressed in a smile too sharp, with secrets too deep, and a presence that hums with something far beyond him.
One broken ritual binds them for decades, pulling them back to each other again and again, to the one soul neither can quite break away from.- Language:
