Chopper ficlet

I finally managed to write something else for Chopper that was more IC and upbeat (despite the title ;) than my earlier drabble. I have no idea why I seem to need a lot more words to write ‘happy’ than ‘sad’, especially for a scene that’s all there in the manga already. I don’t know why I write so much about Skypiea, either.

I guess this would be the companion piece to “Up”.


Title: Getting Down

Spoilers/setting: Manga chapter 302, “Finale” (end of Skypiea arc).

Summary: ( One golden moment suspended in time. )

I must say, I'm rather pissed at fanfiction.net right now for their latest formatting change. It's already hard enough to make something look nice over there, with their weirdly strict demands on what formatting can be used in story titles, chapter titles, summaries, and in the text itself. Now they've removed hyphens as paragraph separators as well for some mysterious reason.
I guess it's at times like this I should be grateful that I'm not very prolific, but I still find it exceedingly irksome. >:(
