i'm loving this fic so far! as a spanish person i'm kinda bothered though, since paella is never stirred and i feel sanji would know that XD i feel maybe you're referring to risotto? (ugh i know this is absolutely unasked for and random haha)
anyway, great fic,!

I see you are taking this into the romance department, which I don't mind, but I hope it doesn't go so far that way that you neglect the nakamaship, since I'm really enjoying that.

I'm so happy that Zoro can at least understand a few people now. I think Franky and Robin should at least try talking to him more so Zoro feels included.

Actually, Sanji is probably the best choice. I can imagine that Robin would be the only other nakama who could help Zoro. Chopper, being mostly reindeer, would be difficult for Zoro to mimic. Luffy wouldn't have the patience. Franky and Usopp would probably cry or something, so Zoro wouldn't be able to mimic their mouths properly either. I'm not sure about Nami, but I just don't see it. Plus, Zoro will work harder for Sanji because he will refuse to lose to the cook.

I can easily admit that this fic has now become one of my fav fics, if not THE top fav zosan fic! I just, I loved everything about this, every single moment. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down, I was immediately captured. You managed to capture their personalities exactly like the canon, this is so them! Two idiots that are too stubborn for their own good- God, did I say how much I loved it? It was just amazing, awesome, beautiful. A masterpiece. It was so good, I want to go and re-read it again now! Lastly, thank you so much for writing this fic, it was the perfect getaway from reality. Hope you have a nice day, author-san! 3

I love it! I love it! I love it! This is so damn good!

I have very conflicted emotions towards this fanfic...
The first part (around the first 5 chaps) are plainly wonderful. I loved nearly everything, from the accurate communication disorder to the sweet fluffy moments between the crew. The pace of the argument was also great. But then the incident comes.
Why?
It really meesed up with the flow and the atmosphere. I wouldn't consider it an excuse for angst to happen, as it was an incredible twisted/sick situation. Not only because of the evident intention of mercilessly hurting Sanji in the worst way he can came with, but also because of the lack of reason of it all. There's no justification. I found it painful how you described Sanji as being constantly afraid of Zoro, expecting to be hurt at any moment, feeling that he somehow deserved it, unable to fight back and without the support of anyone of the so loved crew (really what's wrong with you people!?). You basically described a toxic relationship.
I continued reading in hopes of a better explanation of what you intended to do but found nothing satisfying in how things ended up. It's like you started one of the sweetest relationships I've read about, then all hell brake loose, and then everybody brush it off and it's like everything is fixed again.
I just wish people understand what is fundamentally wrong with the whole "I nearly maim you for live to prove a point because you just hurts my ego" situation.

I really like this author I am reading all her/his works currently and my favorite is a mermaid one but it isn't complete so this was my second fave until I got to the part where zoro hurt sanji's hands on purpose Afterwords I stopped as I really couldn't stand sanji forgiving a violent person which reminded me of an abusive relationship where usually a very understanding woman forgives a man after being beaten If it led to bad ending with sanji ditching zoro after that violence now that is real anst and I could love that I might even write about it Just warning to sanji fangirls This could be traumatizing Still I respect the author Lots of her/his works are wonderful Love

Hey,
so I don't know, if I have given you a review already, so I just leave another one. You posted this story long ago, but I still hope you will see this comment, so I can thank you.
I have read this story some years ago and already loved it.
Now, after some very difficult years, I came back by accident and this time this story gets me even more. I really adore how you make the sentences flow and put some humor into the storytelling (When they behave like complete adults, because you know, that's what they are absolutely not doing ;-P)
I also appreciate that you allowed them to curse like the adults they are. This is something I always struggle with while writing, because I often think it sounds unnatural, but i could actually hear them say what you write.
In general I just want to thank you. Although I'm not too familiar with Zoro's condition, the emotional part really got me. I know the difficutly of not being able to say what I think or feel so Sanji's behavior had something very soothing, something healing about it.
I'm not so much of a romance and kitsch lover, yet I felt like you put in just the right amount.
Thank you for writing this story and thank you for finishing it.
I wish you the very best.
Thank you

I enjoyed this story very much! Love your writing style and the conversation btw the two is so well written, especially the part when they talked abt their first meeting. Great work!3

So much drama! I love it! Hehe. Can’t stop smiling while reading this!XD

This fic is honestly breathtaking. There's such a variety of feels overall and the angst is a great amount c': This last chapter was so satisfying to read and it feels like a perfect ending. ouo

...ok...uhmmmm...shit...i am accepting your fic as headcanon. I wish i could somehow show this to Oda cause it might give him a fucking clue. Hands down the best Zoro/Sanji i ve ever read... Fuck, it feels like im never gonna read a better zosan story. Thanks. No really, thank you, write on...

It's so beautiful XD I have rollercoaster emotion while reading this. Zosan sure make me feel many feels. I'm not completely following OP but I really enjoy the plot, bg, & characters in this fic. Very well written! Thanks for sharing story with us.

SO GOOD AND CUTE AND JUST AMAZING
I've read this several times over the years and it gets better with each read
