Climb every mountain...

[plotbunny-tiff.livejournal.com]

Yay! I love this week's topic. It inspired me right away to give this tidbit a try. Hope you guys like it! ^_^

Title: Mountains
Rating: R
Pairing: Helmeppo ~> Zoro
Topic: Pirates and Marines
Word Count: 238

The fantasizing begins the moment they sit at their mountain of potatoes and start peeling. Helmeppo hates the chore, and daydreaming while applying steel to root lessens the stress just enough. He attacks the ones with suggestions of buds with particular vigor. Watching the severed green fall to the floor is almost enough to make him smile.

While the sun is up, the hazy daydreams are stuffed with imagined revenge or suitably altered memories. There he has a recollected taste of control in an environment that strips him of it completely. The same way that damned pirate hunter ripped him apart with his mocking eyes.

It isn’t until nightfall, when everyone but Koby is sensibly sleeping, that he can finally purge himself. In the dark of the washroom, blond hair sticking to his forehead and neck, his towel clenched between his teeth to muffle the cries, he can finally let imaginary fingers guide his own in the fast desperate dance to finish. Here he can let himself be ravished and helpless; here he almost feel an overheated wall of flesh at his back and hear that defiant, smirking voice in his ear.

And when it’s over, he sometimes feels a weird connection with the swordsman. Dry mouth, aching knees, heaving ribs, itchy sweat and dirt…the physical sensation is only reveled in for a moment. Sleep drags at him, and he has more mountains to face in the morning.

Never would have thought of this! Great job. (:

Thank you! ::grin:: It was a lot of fun to write, I'm glad you liked it.

Oh my. *fans self* That is hot. *laughs* But I wonder if Zoro's sneezing somewhere on the Grand Line right now...

[arelente2.livejournal.com]

with too much sneezing Chopper suspected it was Allergic Grinitis

Thanks! Hmm...I'm not sure if that sort of thing is on the same level as people talking about you. In this case, wouldn't a sudden cold shiver down the spine work better? ::laughs::

:somewhere on the grand line:

Zoro: GAH! :bolted up wide awake and sweating:

Sanji:...nn? What the hell ~_\\ (Go back to sleep)

Wow, you kept Helmeppo in character while making him interesting to read about. I had never thought of this pairing, but I enjoyed this drabble a lot.

[plotbunny-tiff.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm glad I was able to keep him IC...it's been so long since I'd read that arc that I was a little apprehensive. ^_^

Oh, god, the idea of this pairing busted my brains. But then I got the guts to go ahead and read it and....LOVE. This was so wonderfully done. Perfect Helmeppo depiction. ^_^

[plotbunny-tiff.livejournal.com]

Hooray! I'm really glad that you were brave enough to give this a try and that you liked it. ^_^

That was fantastic! Naked Renji for you!

[plotbunny-tiff.livejournal.com]

Whoo hoo! Rock! ::does the naked!Renji dance:: ^_____^

[utopiantrunks.livejournal.com]

Wow. Total crack pairing. But you did it believably. Very good. I just had to fight to keep the actual image of Helmeppo out of my mind's eye while I read... eeeeek.

[plotbunny-tiff.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm glad the images didn't deter you from reading and enjoying. ::laughs:: Keep fighting the good fight.

This pairing never crossed my mind before, and I can't say I fancy it, even after reading. (Peeked in out of curiosity.) But I do think that you did a good job writing it. ^_^ Helmeppo was IC and you made the situation (of Helmeppo fantasizing about Zoro) feel possible.

[plotbunny-tiff.livejournal.com]

Hooray! Thank you, I feel I've done my job well. ::beams:: ^_^
