    Summary

    Ten years was a long time. Zoro knew that as he returned to his childhood home after being kicked out by his parents. People change. He changed. But he didn’t know just how much until he began to encounter his old friends after a decade of silence.

    Or: An Modern-AU where a depressed, anxiety-ridden Zoro tries to figure out his place in the world.

    Summary

    Zoro’s used to being the one people rely on in a fight. A tool. A shield. A sword (or three). No one’s ever accused him of being intelligent—or even having common sense. Then he met Luffy—and the rest of them—and somehow, he thought he’d found something different. People who saw him as something other than an idiot. Something other than a weapon.

    But between getting lost, missing things everyone else seems to just get, and saying the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time, it’s not hard to start hearing the same old story again—from the very people he opened himself up to: he’s stupid, and he’s only good with a sword.

    And if that’s how the Straw Hats see him… then maybe that’s all he is.

    The problem is, the Straw Hats don’t realize what they’re reinforcing.

    And by the time they do, Zoro’s already running himself into the ground trying to be useful enough to keep.

    Now they just have to figure out how to fix something they didn’t even know they broke—before he breaks himself for good.

    -or-

    Steve gets to know the front end of a gun before he ever shoots one.
