Holy cow, my fourth fic for this comm and Sanji has only been mentioned once in passing. That's some kind of record for me. O.O
Title: Ghost
Rating: G
Media: Fic
Character: Zoro
Word Count: 160
Prompt: Ephemerality
His opponent falls to the ground, and there’s this little puff of dust, and it rises into the air and the specks and mites organize themselves and form her feet. And the dust rises up on a wind from nowhere, maybe urged by the slight disturbance in the sheathing of her katana at his hip, to show her legs and her hips and her torso. The dust just barely reaches her head, and what it doesn’t reach is just ever so slightly ringed by the rays of the sun. She taunts him with a smile, glimmering with challenge and sorrow and pride and jealousy. Her eyes are the glint of steel and her voice is the sharp clink of metal on metal.
“Still not the best, Zoro.”
The dust settles back down and the sun is masked by a cloud and she’s gone, just like how she died, just like that.
He turns and leaves. He has training to do.
