Just Like The Girl - One Piece yurific
This is probably the only time I'll ever write this pairing, but I saw that line in recent chapters of One Piece and... kind of just had to do it.
Title: Just Like The Girl
Ship: Nami/Tashigi
Summary: They say every girl wants a girl like her mother. For Femslash February (which is probably the only context in which I'll ever actually use the word, but anyway).
Spoilers: Inspired by a line in chapter 696.
Tashigi doesn't trust pirates. They're lawless and untrustworthy, thieves and murderers, abusers of innocent katana, and besides, she can't abide the smell of rum.
But two years ago she watched this girl use all her breath to fight for a country's freedom, and not two months ago she saw her weep for a nest of abused children, and today Nami seems to welcome the idea of fighting alongside her.
She hesitates, tracking the terrain with her tactician's eyes, seeking the best place to make their stand, and then holds out her palm. "I've got a plan."
----------------
Nami knows she's not supposed to trust Marines. As a group, they're unbending, cold, mindlessly obedient to a government that doesn't even care to look down and see how its people live, that provokes suffering in the name of order and justice, that will leave a village suffering under fishman rule for ten years and never lift a finger to relieve them. And she is, after all, a pirate.
But she still has a weakness for females in uniform, and maybe it's true, like they say, that every girl wants a woman like her mother, and this girl's fought by her nakama's side twice and let them walk away. Plus she shatters Zoro's composure in a way that can't be allowed to be removed from this world.
"Lead on!" she grins, and takes Tashigi's offered hand, indulging herself. They run for the hill the swordswoman pointed out, and for the first time in two months, Nami feels safe.
There are a few more yuri fics on their way (as well the Johnkat one, which I'm sticking with the long version of after all, since the short one needs a complete rewrite itself - if I finish it later in the year, I may stick it in as another bonus track), but I'm getting this one out of the way while I struggle with titles and headers.
