Parallels and Metaphors - The Floating World Between Us Fic Analysis Link (gorgeous art by @Escapecoatery): https://archiveofourown.org/works/82035081 I used several techniques for this fic, as a writing exercise, but also because I wanted the narration to echo Sanji’s poetry. (To make sure I kept it natural and zsz flavored, though, I used a few very grounded, verbalized “Oh, shit” echoing through the fic.) The Agency of the wings I used the Groggy Ring situation as a starting point for the demi experience, but I wanted mainly to address Zoro and Sanji’s issues with the other before they find their complicity. Let me prove myself! cried Sanji’s soul as his voice refused Zoro’s protection. Sanji wanted to be worthy of what he had once renounced. Let me protect you! Zoro’s soul growled as his voice pretended not to trust Sanji. Zoro wanted to be worthy of what he had once failed.
Since we talked about the themes with @escapecoatery.bsky.social, I could choose really early on what kind of literary devices would resonate with the concept ♥
