i see from your blog that you like zosan, do you have any fic recs bc i've basically run out :')

08/29/2022 A/N : this list will be continually updated with new zosan fic recs! I will be adding them chronologically, so all the newer ones will be at the bottom past the cut :D

how does one RUN OUT of zosan 🤔

but here are some of my favs anyways

SOME OF THEM CONTAIN MANGA SPOILERS BTW

*drumroll* top 5 :

1) and then the sun came out - demonzoro (shrinewreck)

this fic is GREAT, it's quite long so the slow-burn is to die for, the writing style is great and it has stupid fluffy moments, canon-centric and zosan not being very ooc which i personally love, and it includes a link in-story with rlly cute illustrations by huanghying on twitter!

“Maybe there is something to be said that the first time they kiss, they kiss on a sinking ship. As if to say: this too, is inevitable. The waves are gnashing above the sea’s bottomless maw, and the timbers of the sinking galleon groan their own dirge – as far as this space of sea is concerned, the world is ending. Then there they are, balanced on the cusp of it, concerned only with how they exist relative to each other.

There’s an awful devotion to it, and it shouldn’t be romantic. But Sanji is hopeless. He’s always wanted a love like this.”

2) Instinct - LarmB

one of those fics you come back to and read again just because of how great it is

i personally love sanji-centric zosan fics, and the world-building and character-development/analysis in this fic is *fat chefs kiss*, the ending almost had me sobbing but it's really such a good fic

“Zoro took a good look at him. “Are you sure you’re okay?” Why wouldn’t I be? My whole life has been a fucking lie, that’s all.

He wasn’t just not a ladies’ man anymore. And he wasn’t just not disgusted by that fucking brute and inelegant seaweed of a man.

Sanji had a huge, massive, overwhelming, undeniable crush on Zoro.

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

*** The Straw Hats end up on a small, seemingly empty island, where they take an opportunity to encounter the thing each of them needs the most, in a series of personal challenges. Sanji, like everybody else, goes on his search alone... until a stupid green marimo gets on his way.”

3) 15 Reasons to Fall in Love - xpiester333x

another sanji-centered, and it's really fluffy. zoro making the first move and leaving sanji to scramble with his feelings is just a trope that I will never get tired of when it comes to these two, especially with how the writer depicted zoro to be the perfect balance of soft with sanji and a marimo-stupidface *happy sigh*

“Sanji knows he and Zoro would be a bad idea, in fact he's written an entire list of reasons why they would be a bad idea. Of course, the marimo won't hear of it. He wants Sanji to give him a chance. So Sanji is just going to have to prove him wrong, right?”

4) for those that sleep on the sea - sanjitea

the latest one i read and it does NOT disappoint, 10/10, so depressing, the brooke-center in this piece is something I really dig, it gives a new perspective in terms of how zosan's relationship can be written and perceived. this fic I think can be seen as either romantic or platonic between them but it shows just how deeply connected they are, how much they respect each other, it depicts their relationship so great, potential chapter 1031 spoilers !!!

“brook is seeing a ghost.”

5) This Unruly Heart - Hazel_Athena

THIS FIC IS SO DAMN GOOD

i personally love timeskip fics and this one checks all my boxes and BEYOND!!!!!! plus, the perona feature is something wbk I like because perona is my queen and moon and stars

but seriously, this fic is so well-written and the satisfying little twist in the end just made it that much better to read. left me happy and smiling, 10/10 fic

“Perona - in further proof that god either doesn’t exist or has at least abandoned Zoro personally - is on him like a dog with a bone.”

others below the cut !!!

- Make No Mistake - dickyang, vageege

oh. my. goodness. I don’t think you understand how disappointed I am that this fic has not been updated since 2015, genuinely such a shame because it’s so good. the writing, the world-building, the characterization, the dynamics between each strawhat, it’s so unbelievably amazingly written. why is zoro so mean to sanji in this :((

there is side sanuso which i love!! and nami and usopp’s friendship!!! and usopp and franky’s!!! and frobin!!! and zolu!!! keep in mind, the romantic aspect is all zosan, but this fic delves into other dynamics which are written crazy good, like seriously something I’ve never seen before, it’s so good AAAAAAAAAA i can’t bro, this fic is honestly like none other i’ve ever read, it’s so amazing and original and it lives restlessly in my head.

I remember being an hour early to work and sitting in the backroom feeling completely empty after finishing it. it’s so good but I am warning you, reading this fic comes at a cost since it will most likely never finish and you’ll be left with an empty hole in your heart over it </3

“College AU. This is an account of a series of events poorly defined as the best days of their lives. Zosan/Frobin+”

- The Sun and the Earth - iguana8llama

this one was so close to making the top 5 because JEEZ what a fic, i remember stalking the writer's page every three days waiting for an update and the ending was sO GOOD!! the worldbuilding is so great, which makes so much of the fic but the zosan part is *GASP* so good

the worldbuilding, the writing style, the plot and smut is all *chefs kiss*

“Over a thousand years ago the God of the Earth awoke from his slumber, insationbly hungry for everything. So hungry that when he looked up to the sky and saw the sun, he thought that only it could satiate him. He shook the ground and raised the mountain of this island to reach the sun, but our ancestors begged and pleaded with the God to not eat the sun, for without it, the sky would stay forever dark and the Earth would grow cold.”

- At the Height of Luxury (Take Me Higher and Higher) - Trixree

i remembered this fic in the middle of the night waking up in a cold sweat and reprimanding myself for forgetting it on this list. I had a screenshot of it and used the date of it to cross-reference over 10 pages of ao3 history to find it again. it’s that good. the writing style is articulated in a way where you can clearly invision what is happening in the moment, and having zoro and sanji’s emotions and mannerisms on display just gives it an OOMPH that’s to die for. did i mention the smut is fantastic? (rip to usopp)

“They’d arrived at the island of Mae to catch the end of a brutal, bloody conflict between the island natives and a band of thugs from further inland. After helpfully settling the conflict, the townspeople of Mae offer to throw the Strawhats an island-wide party complete with food, dancing, music and free credit at the best brothel their town has to offer.

Wherein Sanji smokes a questionable substance prepared by a local devil-fruit user and gets a little bit hornier (and a little bit looser with his inhibitions) than he ever intended to be around a certain swordsman.”

- The Tribulations of Temptation - SweetyGreeny

one of those fics where you come for the smut and stay for the plot because HOT DAMN this is a really good story. we all love a bit of acesan and jealous zoro, do we not?

“It was one quiet night, when Zoro was on watch, that he came across Sanji in the ship's storage room. Except it wasn't only Sanji, there was someone else as well, and Zoro really wished he hadn't looked.”

- Say Something - three_days_late

coming out fics are 1000/10!!! the "zoro is a gay mess" trope is one i love and this fic just makes it that much better, you marimo fool, don’t make sanji feel bad after coming out *smacks him over the head*

“It would be fine, he knew. His friends had already proven they would want him and care about him no matter what. Right? He just had to say something.

When Sanji comes out to the crew, he's met by love and acceptance from everyone. Well, almost everyone. Zoro's been acting weird, but surely he doesn't have a problem with Sanji's bisexuality.

Right?”

- To Grind One's Gears - sh33pish

FUCKING SMUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we love a little hate sex here and there, but the development from “sex with a guy I hate” to “fwb” to “catching feels” is just ‘YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS’

“Even now, years after they started their journey, Sanji still couldn't shake the irritation when having to do anything with the swordsman. Something about his mere existence ground his gears, got under his skin, made him short circuit and react with unadulterated aggression.”

- Who Did What Now? - @charlottepuddingsama

zosan being their shitty snarky selves towards each other + luffy being his usual absent-minded idiot self = happy juice :D

“Hey, Zoro, I don’t think I’ve ever asked before – do your earrings mean anything?”

Zoro rolled his eyes and turned back to his food, shrugging. “No real meaning to ‘em. Just exactly what you see: three swords. Thought it looked cool.”

“What about the other one?”

Zoro just shrugged again, grabbing a fork full of rice. “Wedding band.”

- Sweet Fruit - PandaMega

smut smut SMUT, it was a bit heavy on the more mature aspects, but it ends up working out

“A mysterious devil-fruit user attacks Zoro while he’s alone with Sanji gathering supplies. The power forces the two of them to engage in lustful acts at the risk of death, making them face their own desire and come to terms with their feelings for each other. Lots of sex.”

- firestarters - adietxt

AGAIN WITH ZORO BEING A GAY MESS

“Zoro doesn’t have a single romantic bone in him, and never once the idea of marriage crossed his mind.

At the end of the day, though, marriage is about loyalty, about devotion and faith in something outside of yourself. And that — Zoro’s good at that. Zoro’s a natural at that.

(Five times Zoro accidentally proposed to Sanji without even knowing what a proposal is, and one time he gets properly proposed to.)”

- this, at least - adietxt

another great one by this author, someone kiss them for me pls

(honestly, anything by adietxt is just so perfect)

“The most annoying thing about this whole falling in love thing, Zoro decides, is the fact that he doesn’t even have a say in it.”

- Stigma by ZephGale

- zosan, but really nakama-centered as well and oh. my. god. this fic is so fucking good. i cried. my heart did improvised advanced gymnastics. it’s so beautiful. sanji’s characterization, and the characterization of the entire crew, it’s so amazingly well-written and it’s just such a good one. 100000/10, i’m just such a sucker for sanji being cared for openly

“They were used to their reputation changing and growing after leaving an island. One doesn’t defeat a few Warlords, Emperors, free kingdoms from tyranny and declare war on the Government without gaining something. But it seemed like they acquired something else after leaving Whole Cake Island, and it was something that was much harder to wear with pride.’

~*~

With Wano behind them, Luffy and the others finally manage to find a nice island where they can relax, restock, and not have to worry about life or death situations.

But the seemingly normal town that welcomes them turns on its head, and it’s one Straw Hat that suffers from their hatred.

~*~

Post-Wano but not dealing with anything that’s going on in Wano”

- Exposure to Sunlight by LibbyLune

- zosan with a little bit of vinsmoke family dynamics thrown in there as well :) ooooooooo i originally found this one when going through the “vinsmoke yonji” tag because i love the fanon, ooc version of him and tbh, i really dig how this story does that while also keeping elements of the original vinsmoke dynamics in there as well. i’m just a sucker for non-canon vinsmoke dynamics, and sanji is just so sweet in this one AAAA this one is rlly nice

“Sanji never escapes from the Vinsmokes as a child, and Zoro finds himself in the path of Germa 66 after the disaster at Sabaody.”

- Say It Again by 8ball

- anything. anything by 8ball. is amazing. their twitter is right here and it’s FULL of the greatest zosan fanart. the comics are genuinely the most entertaining I see, they’re so FUNNY and CUTE and LOVELY

this fic though, is the SWEETEST thing ever

“Zoro tells Sanji how he feels. And then again. and again.”

- Fingers Only by SweetyGreeny

- brb gonna go lock myself in the bathroom in the basement in the corner in the dark to read this smut in attempt to hide from the eyes of God because this smut is so filthy, it’s my one-way guilty ticket to Hell. 1000/10

zoro, get your hands off sanji challenge: failed

sanji, stop being a priss and admit you like it already: also failed

“Zoro and Sanji finally give in to each other, a long-standing desire they both can't deny. The only problem is, Sanji still has his pride, and Zoro definitely doesn't keep trying to tempt him.”

- Fuck, Marry, Kill (or, how Usopp becomes the best matchmaker of the sea without really trying) by adietxt

- BACK AT IT WITH ADIETXT they are my zosan vice, truly a master in the art of writing beautiful fics revolving around these idiots

“Everyone wants to marry Zoro. Hypothetically. Sanji can’t believe everyone would pick that useless patch of growing mold over him, and considers killing Zoro. Not hypothetically.

He has a list on why Zoro would be the Worst Husband Ever, not that he spends a lot of time thinking of a (purely hypothetical!) situation where he is married to Zoro, fuck you very much.

(a.k.a, the one where Usopp invented Fuck, Marry, Kill.)”

- unintended consequences by itsmylifekay

SOBBING ON MY HANDS AND KNEES THIS FIC IS SO CUTE AND IT MAKES ME HAPPY ITS JUST AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA lovely. super flavor. ravishing. sanji getting zoro a bracelet and zoro never taking it off? stupid rivalry turns into stupid pining? feed me this trope for the rest of my days or I will choose to starve.

“Imagine person A making person B a friendship bracelet, expecting person B to never wear it, but when it’s given to them person B puts it on and is rarely seen with it off.

A group of marines charge, Zoro slices through them, and in that instant Sanji feels his own eyes grow wide. Because there, on the arm now outstretched towards him, steel glinting in hand, is the stupid bracelet he’d given Zoro. The bastard is actually wearing it.”

- concorde by olgaphobia

i actually saw this fic on twitter when 8ball posted the most ominous, glorious fanart that I didn’t understand until I actually read the fic. It leads moreso towards being a character study with an undertone of Zosan that I just keep coming back to, because it’s such a HEAVY fic. do not read if you’re looking for something cute or smutty, this one sticks with you like an echo in the back of your head

“Perona used to tell him ghost stories about its previous occupants. Stillbirths and young boys who didn’t come back from the war — spectres for a young Zoro to face sword in hand. She told Zoro not to leave his bedroom on a full moon, to keep his curtains closed once the sun hazed down. She said there were noises at night, that if you lay sweet and still in bed, you heard the thumpings. You heard the wailings.

The Vinsmokes had always lived next door.

***

Modern AU. Zoro met the love of his life when he was four. Three years later, he meets Sanji.”

- An Inexplicable Obsession with a Certain Swordsman’s Chest by Arescore

this is a relatively shorter fic but we all love a little gay-panicky Sanji every now and again, don’t we?

the good news is that it’s incomplete, which implies we’ll be getting more of it :D

At that moment, Sanji knew three things.

1. For the first time in many weeks, Sanji finally found the source of his little problem. 2. Zoro's chest was very big. 3. He was positively, absolutely fucked.

Or: Sanji realises that Zoro has big boobs and he likes them very much

- Technicolour by rkdlkai

this fic almost made me cry, i felt so bad for Zoro in this one until the happy ending, made me wanna hug him the entire way

“Oi. Sanji. What colour’s my hair?”

He could see the incredulous look on the waiter’s face out of the corner of his eye. “How the fuck should I know? Just looks grey to me.”

And there it was, the damning sentence that confirmed Zoro’s fears. He let out a long breath, gritting his teeth as he processed it. Zoro had found his soulmate, but Sanji hadn’t found his.

(or the six times zoro didn’t have a soulmate, not really, and the one time he did.)

- A Perpetual Passing [Ships in the Night] by auspizien

this is THE cutest soulmate fic I’ve ever read. the fact that it starts from their childhood and we watch them grow up together is ADORABLE!!!

and the fact that they wanted to meet by chance??? the times they just almost did????? my heart was screaming throughout the whole entire thing. plus the whole idea of drawing on your soulmate is such a cute concept I haven’t seen in many fics before so it was really cute :)

You only get to meet your soulmate for the first time once... and Sanji was a romantic.

Zoro thinks it's stupid.

- Burning Man by neonglaceon

the most iconic trans! Zoro fic should not be this late to recommend, I apologize. But it’s the most known and appraised for a reason, and I think that there should be no description here so you can all experience it in it’s rawness yourselves. A beautiful fic.

“You’re lucky, Zoro,” she had spat, eyes turned up towards the sky, like she was trying to hold in tears. He'd never seen Kuina cry before. He’d never seen any expression on her face other than her teeth gritted in determination or her grinning in victory. “I want to be the greatest swordsman too. But girls grow up, and their bodies become weaker than men's. I’m never going to be the greatest.”

Kuina tells him this, and Zoro can barely comprehend the words she’s saying. He thinks of the countless hours he’s spent training by the river bed, the green locks of his hair left on the floor after Koushirou helped him shear it all off, of the people he thought of as family a lifetime ago calling him by a name he despised. Zoro puts a hand to his chest, where he’d hastily wrapped bandages earlier that day, remembering how his body had begun changing and he didn’t understand why-

“You’re lucky to have been born a man, Zoro,” Kuina finishes lamely.

Zoro sees red.

- Facade by Hazel_Athena

currently my FAVORITE EVER. I go back to it all the time because it’s the perfect mix of canon zosan and our lovely little fanon romantic ship. the fake marriage trope will never die. plus Zoro secretly being in love with Sanji the whole time and the Strawhats being in on it all??? (plus Law lol) WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!

also judge gets jumped in this one. a win-win for everyone !!!

I found this fic on twitter after I saw @huanghying’s BEAUTIFUL fanart

Left with only three other crew mates, it’s a ready expectation that Sanji will start fawning all over Robin in his usual obnoxious way. However, that’s not what happens. Instead, looking wild around the eyes in a way only someone who knows him well would recognize, the cook doesn’t break stride until he’s firmly within Zoro’s orbit and can wrap both hands around his upper arm, clinging tight.

“Hi, darling,” he chirps, his expression desperately conveying that Zoro needs to play along under pain of death. “Did you miss me?”
