The thing about writing a long ZoLu fic from a third-party perspective is that readers don’t get to see all the private, one-on-one time between the two main characters who are falling in love. I’m so happy that Roronoa Zoro Is a Terrible Boyfriend gets the reception it does, because I was very worried readers would lose interest when 50k words in, we’re still only seeing the ZoLu develop from Sanji’s perspective.
With that being said, I’m writing a standalone chapter retelling how Zoro and Luffy met and became friends. Because this scene from the Hungry Days commercial has been the driving force behind this fic and I NEED TO WRITE IT.
