Title: Chianti
Word Count: 223.
Rating: R for disturbing themes.
Pairing: Zoro/Sanji.
Topic: Blood.
Notes: It tastes like veal, actually.


There were moments in his childhood—tiny ones, flickering by faster than the swift flashes of a knife on a cutting board—when Sanji had wanted to ask him what it had tasted like. A chef needed to know all the flavors of the world, those ephemeral notions whispered, and it was surely the most rarefied cuisine in all the Blues.

Fortunately, he’d never gotten the nerves or the liquor tolerance necessary to ask, and the old man had let him sail away without telling him the savor of the forbidden flesh he had tasted so that Sanji might live.

Sanji bit down hard on Wadou Ichimonji’s hilt, teeth fitting into grooves worn in a thousand fights, tasting a familiar mouth, an indirect kiss. A black bandana dug into the depleted flesh of his thigh, knot over the great artery that ran from groin to ankle and would drain away his life in minutes if he let it. His hands, still clean and perfect, tightened around a folded, wadded haramaki.

Green eyes, sunken and hollow in a near-skeletal face, fixed him with a stare that would have crushed diamond.

It shattered on Sanji’s resolve.

Sandai Kitetsu flashed like a kitchen knife on a cutting board, and Sanji wondered if there was a wine that went with the taste of sacrifice and broken dreams.

Freakish but very very interesting. The last three sentences of this are particularly powerful. Also, that he thought about asking but never got up the nerve seems strangely reasonable.

I feel vaguely horrified right now. Because after reading this and that entire article, I keep catching myself running over various recipes, wondering just which ones would do it justice, and just what particular spicing could bring out the best flavors and...

Eugh gods, this has got my stomach doing the WORST kind of flip-flops. >_>;;;

Heh.
I like this. Though I feel dirty for it.
*shamefully adds to memories*

Actually, I think Robin would lend him one of her legs. Girly Leg Sanji.

Holy.......

very powerful, i think because of the flashes of imagery that aren't graphic but convey a lot of emotional impact. the article was really interesting, as well.

[nuitari4pwnage.livejournal.com]

Glad we share the same sentiments.

That last sentence in particular pwned my brain -_- The twist of thinking about the wine just trebles the impact- Ach, my neurones, they be broken now.

o_o But, when I look past the cannibalism, I'm not sure I konw what's going on...

[stillarium.livejournal.com]

I have to agree on that... I'm not native English, is Sanji going to eat his leg or Zoro? o.o

... I scanned through that article and my knees are weak just thinking of it. The meat of babies is like fish, yeah? o.o so soft... urks.

[shymagical.livejournal.com]

Hahah, yeah, about halfway through that article I'm like:


...Wait...Why am I reading this? ^.^;; I've never been curious about that...I don't even like those gory horror movies *likes vampires though*

Well, if you thikn about it, it makes sense. Zoro's dream is to be the strongest; Sanji's is simply to find a mythical sea. He can do so with a peg leg... (or a borrowed leg, if Robin is around).
...though Soro would probably find a way to become the strongest swordman even if he had no limbs left. :P
