hello my old heart
chapter one: let the games begin
It’s better, Eddie thinks, if he doesn’t remember the face of who he’s about to kill, it will not haunt his dreams, at least.
But then the man speaks and Eddie thinks that he will haunt his dreams, anyway. He has been haunting them for a very long time, after all.
“We’ve got to stop meeting like this.” Steve Harrington says, out of breath.

Ace wakes up on a random island two years after his death as a ten-year-old. But he has no memory of his adult life. Sabo just died, and he has a little brother to look after. Or maybe an older brother?
There is a bit of time between Ace waking up and Luffy finding him.
Sorry this is so long I'm still trying to figure out how to do comic-y things.

hello my old heart
chapter one: let the games begin
chapter two: setting sail
“And what makes you so certain you’ll win?” Eddie asks, like he always did when Steve challenged him.
Steve, right on cue, smiles as he did back then and says, “What makes you so certain I’ll lose?”
It sends a spark that travels all the way to Eddie’s heart, achingly familiar and somehow always foreign; Eddie welcomes it like an old friend and takes position.
