*cracks knuckles* Including the muses we used to write, and probably will again, I hope you're ready for TheList™:

Dracule Mihawk

Nami - MiMi supremacy going strong forever and always, but also what if Mihawk found Nami stealing from him and she spills the beans on what Arlong's done to her and her village? 👀

Athelar - I need all the brother threads all day every day, the angst and comfort and them bonding over the years they lost

Shanks - MiShanks? 👀 But also a scenario where Mihawk agrees to join the Red Haired Pirates, not to mention a thread where they absolutely can't stand one another and keep battling it out every time they meet each other.

Shanks

Nami - preeeetty self explanatory but there's so many more things that live rent free in my head for these two, like them settling down somewhere nice, Shanks passing down the title of Yonko/retiring completely and acting like a mentor to those who want to be mentored. But also Shanks becoming King of Pirates, with things either hitting the fan and him being executed with Nami having to watch, or they both work towards making sure the world's well rid of the Marines and World Government, plus another like 28364 ideas I have for these two!

Athelar - I'd love to see how these two would vibe together when alone, but also a thread where Athelar does meddle in destiny when something unexpected in the grand scheme of things happens that threatens all the balance he saw the future holds

Benn Beckman

Nami - besides the plots we currently have in the works, I was thinking that maybe instead of Bellemere, Shanks and co. get to Nami's island that was being raided when she was a baby, and just like Shanks took Uta in, Benn does the same with Nami and the two dads raise their two daughters together on board the Red Force

Shanks - I live for Beck tormenting Shanks about everything and anything and I need more of it! Grilling him about his love life? All the 'I told you so's when he gets too drunk (nvm that Beck gets equally drunk), but also young Shanks and young Beck meeting for the first time and Shanks trying to convince Beck to join his crew

Uta

Nami - I need them to be besties, them bonding over their once mutual hate for pirates before meeting the right ones that made them change their minds

Shanks - Gimme all father/daughter threads ever because yes! Shanks helping Uta through her espresso-depresso era, finding somebody for her to help her get a hang of her Devil Fruit powers because gods know she doesn't have any control over it, and just generally wholesome and domestic things

Javi

Nami - I need more of the 'well, I guess my step-mom's younger than I am' awkward moments, but also them becoming friends whenever the Straw Hats visit the RHP, and there could also be potential for some shippy things!

Shanks - Javi being a little menace to Shanks, especially when he's younger, is living rent free in my head. Then there's all the parental figure threads we could go for, Shanks teaching him how to fight with swords, but also comforting him that he doesn't have to be like his dad just because some people expect him to be as good as Mihawk

Athelar - UNCLE THREADS! Athelar being that cool uncle with a super awesome ship who shows up at random and has all the coolest gadgets and Javi wanting to spend as much time with him as possible.

Other muses and plot blurbs are under the cut because it's Long™

Thomas Magnum

Juliet - MIGGY! All things Miggy, all the Miggy fluff, angst, hurt, EVERYTHING. But especially them having their little family of at least 2 kiddos running around, there's no threats anymore, maybe they even closed down the PI business and are focusing on working at the Nest and taking care of their kids (plus you know Robin would pretty much pay for anything they want, even when they tell him no)

Steve - I've been recently toying with the idea of what if Steve and Thomas were on the same team together when serving in the Navy, so there's potential for threads that take place in the sandbox, but also when Steve comes home in season 1, Thomas follows and Steve asks him to be on the team since day 1

TC - bonding in the sandbox, maybe some POW camp threads, TC flying TM out but the chopper has a malfunction and they have a crash landing on a potentially deserted island and need to survive

Lia - All the Thia threads, especially in a what if scenario where Miggy doesn't happen. I can see them eventually moving in together after working things out after the break up, maybe start a family down the line, but also angsty threads where they are exes having to work on a case together because AWKWARDNESS AND TENSION (and pent up sexual frustration)

Robin - Robin and TM meeting for the first time when Robin was still a journalist, all the shenanigans they went through, TM accompanying Robin to a book event where shit hits the fan and Robin's taken hostage

Chris - TM being like that annoying little brother to him, maybe they're purposefully thrown together on the same case to 'work out their differences', TM inviting him to their ohana gatherings every opportunity possible

Luciana - FAMILY BONDING TIME, especially after Katherine dies and Thomas really needs a shoulder to cry on, him showing off his super cool ex-sister-in-law to his friends when she comes to visit in Hawaii

Ethan Shah

Juliet - ALL THE SHIPPY THREADS! A thread where rather than flipping out when Juliet tells him about her past, Ethan sits down with her and hears her out, tries to understand and actually communicates his feelings for her.

Steve - I like the idea of Ethan kind of being the doctor they call for whenever anybody (read: Steve) from Five-0 gets injured on a case because he knows how to wrangle Steve into at least somewhat listening to him.

Chris - hear me out: Before Ethan moved to Hawaii, him and Chris worked in the same city and had frequent run-ins. I'd love to see them sit down, catch up, maybe even deepen their professional relationship and friendship.

Tani Rey

Juliet - the way both shows robbed us of both our fem muses having proper fem friends is horrible. Tani will drag Juliet out of the house whenever possible, not even going to put up with Juliet's protests. I need them to be besties we deserve to have!

Steve - McRey? McRey! All the shippy things! Steve finding his happy ending in Tani, retiring and settling down, her helping him stay with both feet on the ground and helping him through potential therapy, just being his rock and loving on him 24/7.

Leo - awkward dates when they're both off the schedule, bonding over things they both like, just being cute and sweet together, them also being a little competitive on which of them is the better surfer.

Noelani - gimme more besties threads! I want them both to go on a vacation together without having to worry about what the team is up to.

Lia - Tani and Lia working on a joint H50/HPD case together and things get really bad. I'm thinking they maybe get captured or they get cornered and one of them gets badly injured.

Chris - further down the line when Tani is promoted to leader of the team (and where Chris never dies because f that plotline alltogether) they constantly butt heads on whether Five-0's methods are good or not, and it eventually turns into sort of enemies to lovers trope.

Danny Williams

Steve - McDanno! A thread where they actually retire and open up the restaurant which is an instant hit rather than a miss

Chris - before Danny fully retires, he opts to bring in somebody experienced enough so the team still functions as it should, so he goes and talks to Chris if he would want to be on the team. Both are for doing things by the book and Danny believes Chris would be reinforcing that rule whenever possible.

Juliet - instead of fake-marrying Thomas, Juliet asks Danny if he would be willing to play the hubby, that way there would be no conflict between Juliet and Thomas and no bad blood.

Lia - what if Lia was the one (beside Steve) to show Danny just how nice Hawaii is? I can see them working a case together and they just click, so they start seeing each other and eventually end up dating.

Loki Laufeyson Friggason

Thor - post Infinity War, after Loki successfully faked his death once more and all the Asgardians, including Thor, have settled on Earth, Loki shows up, explaining to Thor that he needed that push after Asgard was destroyed to fuel his anger, and his "death" was something he knew would affect him greatly

Tony - post Thor 1, after Loki lets himself fall into the void, instead of being picked up by Thanos, Loki directly lands on Earth, takes up the mantle of a successful entrepreneur and connects with lots of people, Tony included.

Sigyn - the ways Sigyn would ground Loki if she was ever in the movies, and she would be his whole world along with their kidlets.

Yon-Rogg

Tony - I shall inflict pain on you with this one and you'll hate me for it. Endgame, Tony snapped his fingers, the world's restored to as it should be and he's dying. Carol's there, she remembers how Yon saved her all those years ago and she goes to him, brings him to Earth and he does the same with Tony

Carol - YonVers, and I shall accept nothing less! Yon being stripped off his title after losing to Carol and some years later she finds out he's been stuck in a slave camp of sorts, so she bails him out/buys him to be hers but she gives him freedom instead. OR! Carol managing to talk sense into Yon at the end of the first movie and in the second one it's revealed that they got married and chill on her ship.

Killian Jones

Emma - Captain Swan, all day every day. Them leaving Storybrooke together to live a happy life before shit once more hits the fan, but also the early stages where Killian endlessly teases and pursues Emma but she's having none of it!

Liam - gimme all the brotherly bonds, especially Liam never dying but they both rebel against their king, run the crew together, maybe even take a whole new path in life and don't stay pirates

Andrea Talverton

Emma - sister-in-law bonding time, Andrea potentially showing Emma what being a princess is like and them just having a wholesome bond together

Liam - Lirea, one of my alltime favourite ships to this day. I'd love to write all the happy things with them, them settling down, having a family, Andrea helping Liam get used to living in Storybrooke. But also, while in the Enchanted Forest, either Rea running way with Liam so they can be together or him asking her dad for her hand in marriage.

Geralt of Rivia

Yennefer - disregarding Geralt's last wish for him and Yennefer to be together forever, what if they instead opt to have a friends with benefits relationship that slowly and steadily develops into something more?

Jaskier - GERASKIER, all day, every day. I want to see Geralt suffer after he tells Jaskier off, them meeting sometime later and Jaskier straight up refusing to acknowledge Geralt ever existing, so the witcher really has to work for Jaskier's friendship and love.

Triss - I'm still of the opinion that Triss is a better match for Geralt, but I want it to be with a twist. Instead of Triss doing what she did, Geralt falls for her over time while they're both working for King Foltest and have a steady relationship that way.

Mithra Kalila - Following their marriage, I was thinking that her advisers keep telling her how Geralt is a bad idea to have as a husband, especially since he's sterile and won't be able to provide her with an heir, meanwhile Geralt proves them all wrong and is a loving and doting hubby

Anna Henrietta

Jaskier - I need all the threads with them where they are lovers while Annarietta's hubby is out of the Duchy on whatever business. Imagine Anna's all loving towards him one day, the other she throws him in the dungeons, the third day she gets him out and is all sorry.

Magnus Bane

Alec - gimme all the Malec and pre-Malec threads! Magnus doing his hardest to sway Alec, Alec giving him the cold shoulder, and then there's the stone touches and hidden kisses while they sneak around others so they don't know. But also married Malec, them adopting a baby or two or five!

Evan Buckley

Eddie - BUDDIE! Always and forever Buddie! Buddie on vacation (can go as friends before things finally spark up between them), also them taking care of Christopher together!

Blake Richards

Liam - maybe they exorcise the demon out of Liam and after their two new team members try to get him killed, he leaves the organization, Blake follows him and they open a whole new paranormal investigator organization.

Avery Murray

Steve - eyeing all of those shippy threads we had with them in the past and I'd love to revive those. They have so much potential and Avery being able to ground Steve is just so !!!!!!!!!!!

Juliet - I've said it before and I'll say it again, we don't have nearly as many girl friendship representation in both shows as we deserve! Also, Avery maybe hiring Juliet for a case, like a client of hers seems really dodgy and she wants to be sure that he's a good guy before she accepts the job offer, that sort of thing!

Simon Basset

Anthony - Simon and Anthony butting heads about whether or not Simon is good for Daphne, also "how dare you even think about dating my sister when you're my best friend". I need that so much.

Daphne - more fake dating scenarios to make sure the ton thinks they're really together, Simon fighting for Daphne's honor with Berbrooke, them raising little Augie and being wholesome parents.

Kate Sharma

Anthony - Anthony and Kate living their best life, maybe they're still in their honeymoon phase and are all lovey-dovey, also Kanthony babies all the way!

Daphne - Sisters-in-law bonding time, maybe Daphne comes to visit with Augie and Kate meets her nephew!

Edwina Sharma

Anthony - them going through with the marriage instead of Anthony ending up with Kate. I want to see how these two will develop because Edwina is absolutely starstruck and in love with him.

"In what world would I ever want to reject you? You're beautiful, smart, resourceful, absolutely charming, and willing to be with an old fart like myself." No, in his eyes, there was not a single parallel universe where he would ever reject her, not in a million years. Nami was perfect in every single way.

"A couple, yeah," Shanks said softly. "And Beck knows about us. Did he give you any trouble? I'll talk to him, I promise."

"I didn't either. I couldn't imagine a world where you wouldn't reject me." She still couldn't even put into words that this might be real. Her and him? In what world would a man like Shanks fall for someone unimportant like her, weak, a little thief with nothing to show for. While he was a Yonko!

"So...We are something."

I started working on a carrd for this blog, because as much as I love google docs, it was driving me up the wall having a million different docs connecting to one main hub when a carrd is so much cleaner and simpler to work with.

That being said, I'm including a mains/affiliates section on the carrd, and while I already have an idea on who to put on there, feel free to like this if you wanna be listed there (and on the pinned post once I get to it)!

Another thing: my discord is rheastarshine, so feel free to add me there because me and tumblr DMs don't mix well as of recent, and I'm on discord more often than tumblr. Just lemme know you are if you're adding me!

[seaoftales]

⭐️!!

Mihawk

Robin - I think these two would vibe together pretty well, I can also see Robin being curious on what happened at Kuraigana

Lucci - maybe an unlikely pair, but Mihawk potentially joining CP on a mission off sorts or just them sparring, or anything else. Listen, I need these two in the same place at the same time for purely selfish reasons

Shanks - these two in their younger years dueling every single day until one of them eventually collapses from exhaustion, then they take a break and have at it again because they're both too stubborn to step down

Shanks

Mihawk - additionally to the idea up there, Shanks relentlessly pursuing Mihawk to join his crew, to the point where Mihawk threatens to stop visiting if he keeps it up, but Shanks finding other ways of asking him and irking him to no end with it

Kidd - I mean... there can only be one redhaired pirate with a missing left arm and a scar above his left eye, BUT I can see this going two ways: either they are going to murder each other, or they will bond over the fact that they're just that similar despite not seeing eye to eye at first

Beck - these two coming up with a plan on getting the One Piece (because just them saying they gonna claim it is not enough for me!)

Benn

Kidd - Kidd wanting revenge on Beck for taking his arm, anybody??? I would love to see a rematch, maybe Kidd gravely injures Beck?

Shanks - Beck expressing his concerns about Luffy and the One Piece, in terms of what would happen if the Strawhats and the RHP get to it at the same time. Will they fight, is Shanks gonna let Luffy get it or claim it for himself? I NEED ANSWERS!

I'm not sure if you're okay with writing with Uta since she's a pretty controversial character, but I also got ideas for her for your muses too! Father/daughter threads with Shanks, bonding with her fav uncle Benn, Robin maybe knowing what happened to her island when she was a baby and they talk about that, Nami and her being besties, her and Sanji (secretly) dating if you're down for it, just to name a few!

Also holding up my OC to you and making grabby hands at all of your OCs (and obviously your Crocodile!)

She'd never complain about getting all the cookies, but there was something else that irked her more than anything. ❝ Hey! At least give everybody some. It's not nice to exclude people. ❞ Spoken in a serious tone and accompanied by a frown as she shared some of her cookies with Javi.

Some ideas on here might be a bit out there, but hear me out.

Beck - Van Augur with his musket and Beck with his flintlock going in a head to head battle on who's the better shooter out of them, like a duel of sorts where potentially one kills the other or at least very badly injures the other.

Shanks - Shanks sees red no matter which Blackbeard pirate he's facing, and it would be really interesting to see whether or not he can contain his anger when he could use said opportunity to eliminate one of them (doubtful thanks to Van Augur's DF but could be fun!)

Uta - This is the one that could be really out there, but here's what I'm thinking. The Uta Uta No Mi allows Uta to put everybody in a trance and essentially make them her mind-slaves. What if Van Augur, on Blackbeard's request, kidnaps her and uses her as a weapon of sorts?

Throwing all my muses at you because yes :D

Mihawk - there's so many settings that could work for them, because even in our current thread Mihawk's vibing with Ikkaku's personality

Shanks - 10/10 would offer her a spot on his crew even though they don't even need a mechanic because again, the vibes are there, the friendship's there and they're wholesome!

Benn - imagine Ikkaku trying to explain to Beck how the submarine works and Beck's just giving #TiredDadCofusedByModernTechnologyTM energy

Uta - maybe post Film Red, Law keeps telling the crew how dangerous Uta is and all that and when they meet she's nothing like it and they end up being friends

I also have my One Piece OC available but I know OCs are not everybody's cup of tea!

"Oh you are a thief, alright," Shanks chuckled. "Stole my heart and swept me off my feet before I even knew what was going on." He couldn't remember when the last time was, if there was one to begin with, where he wore his heart on his sleeve so openly. The flings he had in the past seemed so very meaningless. None of them ever even came closer to Nami.

Giving her hand a soft squeeze, Shanks leaned over to place a soft kiss on top of her head. "I'm sorry for not communicating all of this better with you. I should have told you from the beginning what I felt for you. I just didn't because... I didn't want to face rejection."

Deep feelings? She didn't expect that even as Beck described how he behaved when the straw hats left. So he did really behave like that. He really had feelings for her. And she for him.

Nami reached for his hand and entwined their fingers. She leaned over against him. So a relationship was what they were embarking on.

"Well, this girl doesn't think she's worthy of you. She's just a navigator and thief."

Of course his father would want to keep tabs on him. Why he thought any different was beyond him. It was his way of letting him know that he still very much cared about him, even if he wasn't around. With the years, Javi learned to understand Mihawk and his ways. Just because he wasn't present in his life and upbringing, it didn't mean he didn't care. He left him in the care of the man he trusted most, one who became a second father figure to him, and he did visit whenever he could. If anything, Mihawk made sure Javi had a large family which would have his back no matter what happened.

❝ Same old, can't really complain, ❞ the young swordsman replied with a grin. ❝ Sporting a few more small scars, but it's nothing serious. Otherwise just trying to keep up with the crew and their shenanigans. ❞ As if he wasn't getting into ones of his own. Javi was far from innocent when it came to that, though he couldn't hold the candle to Shanks and the rest of the crew.

Taking note of the now very dense blanket of flowers sprouting all around Thea, Javi took that opportunity to make himself even more comfortable and simply laid down in the grass, taking in a deep breath and looking over at her. ❝ Being out on the sea is nice and all, but nothing beats this. ❞ He'd probably join the others at the bar later on, but solitude, the one thing he could so rarely get on board the Red Force, was what he needed. Not to say that he didn't appreciate Thea's company. Given how rare they saw one another, it was much welcome.

❝ What about you, Thea? It's really been ages. You still following dad around or did he turn into your shadow instead? ❞

It isnt often that Amalthea strays from Mihawk's side these days but she's still rather flighty and wandering. There are places she considered 'hers' and a handful of people she kept tabs on, which required her to roam the seas. In this particular instance though, she had only been passing through when detoured at the sight of the Red Force pulling into port. Taking her own space to dock, the little Sloop is easily missed amongst the other vessels - especially with a Yonko's own currently occupying a space.

She had slipped unseen and unnoticed onto the island, wrapped in both her devil fruit's glamour and her own unique concealment haki. Watching the Red Hair pirates move supplies, far too cautious by nature to greet them in the open. Her focus is primarily on Javi though, tailing him when he wanders away from the group and into town. It's only when he leaves behind the settlement and heads towards the forest that she feels more at ease in approaching him.

"Well," Thea says softly when she is noticed and addressed, shimmering into view as her illusion fades, "not in this specific instance, but generally yes, he has asked me to check in with you occasionally." There's never any sound when she moves, unsettling for those not accustomed to her elusive manners, coming to settle beside the young swordsman.

"It has been awhile, forgive me if I have lost track of time since we last spoke. How have you been, Javi?" Her nearness is a sign of trust and comfort, and where she sits little violets and poppies sprout in the grass around her.

❝ Ooooh, chocolate! ❞ If there was one way to win Uta over, it was food, namely sweets and especially chocolate. The singer happily took the plate with the offered slice with a big smile that very much matched her big appetite as well --- the curse of being a Devil Fruit user. ❝ Thanks, this is great! ❞ She even made a mental note to ask for the recipe later. While Uta herself wasn't much of a cook, Lucky Roux would do wonders with it, no doubt, and all of the crew could enjoy the cake just like she was now.

❝ I'm Uta, by the way. It's nice to meet you! ❞

Lola grinned at the girl's excitement, her red ruby lips parting in a amused smile. "Why yes I did." and she was very proud of it, if there was one thing she would always be confident in, it was her skills as a baker. Lola cut a nice big thick slice of the dessert and offered it to the girl.

"Here have some, I hope you like chocolate!"

#marriageproposallola #【 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐞: uta 】

[seaoftales]

❝ I should certainly hope so, because one way or the other, you're not getting rid of me that easily. ❞ Not that Mihawk was convinced that Shanks would want to get rid of him. They were in it for the long run, if one asked him for his own opinion, for forever. To many, Shanks and Mihawk were two polar opposites, a couple that shouldn't work but they did. They had their functionally dysfunctional family that stuck together through the thick of it.

❝ I do hope the kids are not in, ❞ the swordsman said coyly, arms wrapping around his very much naked boyfriend. ❝ I intend to fully enjoy my birthday present. ❞

@seaoftales from here

Shanks looks at Mihawk lustrously, unwrapping the small box and smiling as he opens the silk-wrapped box. Grinning sweetly, he unwraps the box and gasps at the gold chain carrying both swords. "Oh, Mihawk!" Shanks huffs, standing up, the bow falling to the floor as he looks at his lover. "Oh! I am keeping this on forever." Shanks bounces giddily towards Mihawk and holds on to him tightly. "Oh! This is so freaking incredible. Thank you, Hawkeyes. I love it as I love you. Now, come on. Get your present..."

Fine, then what do you know about the name IMU

❝ Eh, as much as the next person. An ominous very powerful figure who's apparently the leader of the World Government. Could just be made up to scare people into submission. Could all be made up for all I know. ❞

#paririeofmxses #【 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐞: red haired shanks 】

[seaoftales]

"It started out as an affair. Maybe more like a friends with benefits," Shanks admitted as he sat down next to her. Given their arrangement at the time, it was the only logical thing. With no label on whatever was going on between them, they each made up on their own about what was going on.

"So what if I'm a yonko. Right now that doesn't really mean a lot. In whatever this is between us, it means nothing. It's just you and me. Just the girl I developed deep feelings for and a pirate who thinks he's not worthy of being with her."

Beck was noted down for a serious talking to once this was over, no matter what way around it ended. He thought they were having a relationship? Well, she didn't. And now things were about to either be really awkward or way more awkward than that.

Nami made his way back into his cabin and sat down on his still unmade bed. "I didn't think we were having a relationship. An affair at most. I mean you're a yonko and I'm just a...well..."

#taleofmuses #【 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐞: red haired shanks 】

[seaoftales]

alright shanks, enough games, we know you what the one piece is, what is it?!?!

❝ Oh come on, even a two-year-old knows what the One Piece is. It's the friends we made and the adventures we experienced along the way! ❞ Said with the biggest shit-eating grin out there.

[seaoftales]

"I thought we did? Or that we are having one? What did you think this was?" This conversation got more confusing by the minute. they never really established any rules on what was going on between them, or put a label on it for that matter, though he thought they were on the same page. Clearly not.

"How about we go back inside and talk about it? That way nobody would walk in on them and make things awkward. At least he knew Benn knew how to keep a secret.

"Relationship?" She didn't even think before the question slid out of her mouth. She didn't think of what they had as a relationship. More like an affair, no strings attached. The thought that he considered it a relationship didn't even cross her mind in that detail. Sure she wished for that, but what were the chances?

"We're having a relationship?"

#taleofmuses #【 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐞: red haired shanks 】

[seaoftales]

He looked at her curiously. A deal breaker? Yeah, Beck was right. There were things they needed to talk about, that was very much clear now.

"It's not a deal breaker for me. Why would it be? I thought we would tell everybody sooner or later, probably when you'd be okay with it. Or do you want to keep our relationship a secret?"

Beck indeed got in her way or else she would have been on the Mery already. But here she was, stuck on the Red Force. Great. And forced to face the music likely. And Beck left them alone, even taking the news below deck. And anyone could just walk in - or well out - on them.

"Yes, yes, he does." Nami cosed her eyes. "If that's a deal breaker for you, I understand." And yet it would not be easy.
