Fics like Monkey On Your Back

Sanji’s childhood had been…unkind, to say the least. He remembers his mother sick in bed, his father’s disdain, his cruel brothers and placid sister. He remembers the dungeon, the mask, the escape. But he doesn’t remember a lot of the in-between. He doesn’t remember the food served, or his childhood bedroom. He doesn’t remember the exact shape of the abuse he suffered, or the experiments he underwent, only the impression that it was bad. His mind gets a little fuzzy whenever his thoughts go anywhere near that time in his life. But that’s okay! Why would he want to remember anything from then besides his mother anyway? He just knows that he was weak then, and he’s stronger now. He’s someone Zeff can be proud of, a chef who serves the next king of the pirates! His crew is always moving forward, so it’s better that the past is left right where it was–behind him. Which is why he never thought to consider the damage that his family dealt might have lingered in a place he never thought to look.
