Ghost in the Sheets
You find yourself wrapped in Ace's arms, nestled comfortably in bed together. The soft glow of moonlight filters through the curtains, casting a gentle illumination on the room. You feel his warmth beside you, his steady breaths lulling you into a state of contentment.
In the quiet intimacy of the night, you share whispered conversations and tender touches, lost in the simple pleasure of each other's company.
"You know, I could stay like this forever," Ace murmurs, his voice low and soothing.
You smile, snuggling closer to him. "Me too. Just you and me, forever."
As the night deepens, the world outside fades away, leaving only the two of you in your own little sanctuary. You find yourselves tangled in the sheets, playful kisses exchanged between whispered words and soft laughter.
Ace's touch sends shivers down your spine, his fingers tracing patterns along your skin as you revel in the warmth of his embrace. Each moment feels like a stolen treasure, precious and fleeting, as you lose yourselves in the rhythm of each other's hearts.
Giggles and sighs fill the room as you playfully wrestle for dominance of the blankets, the moonlight casting playful shadows across the walls. You feel a sense of peace wash over you, knowing that in this moment, you are exactly where you belong.
As you both finally settle back into the warmth of the covers, a serene silence envelops the room. With a gentle sigh, Ace caresses your cheek, his eyes filled with an unspoken tenderness that speaks volumes.
"I love you," he whispers.
A smile tugs at the corners of your lips as you meet his gaze, feeling the weight of his words wash over you like a warm embrace. "I love you too."
In that moment, time seems to stand still, the world outside fading into insignificance as you bask in the glow of each other's presence. It's a simple declaration, but one that holds the power to move mountains.
With a contented sigh, you nestle closer to Ace, feeling the steady rhythm of his heartbeat echoing your own. You know that you are exactly where you belong – in the arms of the person who completes you in ways you never thought possible.
——
As the night wears on, you hold onto the fleeting moments with Ace, cherishing every laugh, every touch, every whispered confession of love. But as the first light of dawn begins to filter through the curtains, a sense of impending loss washes over you.
You feel the dream slipping away, like sand through your fingers, as the warmth of Ace's embrace fades into the cold light of day. Panic grips your heart as you cling desperately to the remnants of the dream, knowing that once the sun fully rises, he'll be gone from your grasp.
Tears prickle at the corners of your eyes as you watch the room slowly brighten, the shadows of the night retreating before the relentless march of morning.
As light begins to fill the room, you feel a sense of reluctance stirring within you. Reality beckons, its call growing louder by the second; piercing, unavoidable. It pulls you away from this perfect moment and back to where the harsh world awaits, just beyond the confines of your room.
“Ace,” you murmur anxiously, “The sun’s coming up.”
“Ace?”
——
With a sharp gasp, you bolt upright in bed, your heart pounding in your chest. Panic courses through your veins as you frantically search the empty space beside you, desperate for any sign of Ace.
But the bed remains empty, the sheets cool to the touch, and the room silent except for the sound of your own ragged breaths.
Tears well in your eyes as you cling to the fading remnants, longing for just a few more moments in his embrace. But the harsh reality of his absence refuses to be ignored, leaving you with nothing but a hollow ache in your chest.
Why’d you have to wake up?

enchanted.
Tumblr media
"you'll come back and visit, right, ace?
Ace’s smile lights a fire within your chest, the way your breath escapes you as he laughs loudly. 
He makes you a promise right there, promising that of course, he’d come back to see you.
You believed him.
You watch as the paper in your hands catches on fire, burning away into nothing but ash within your hands. 
Flashes of images go through your mind, every single one of Ace and you under the stars. Ace and you speaking within soft whispers on the beach. The way Ace had made you feel the entire time he was here with you. 
You crumble onto the ground, the remnants of the burned paper coddled against your chest as you scream in despair. Your sobs echoed into the night sky as you begged for anyone to bring back Ace… To bring back the boy with the sun for a smile. 
Begging to let you say the thing you were holding back the entire time he was here, thinking you could tell him when he returned. 
i was enchanted to meet you...

fading flames
ace x reader
tw: ace's death
Tumblr media
All you ever did was wait.
You waited to be born. You waited to walk and develop those gross motor skills in a step to becoming more independent. You waited for your first kiss.
You waited for lots of things but nothing as badly as you waited for him.
Ace came along when you were both eighteen. He'd only been on his own as a pirate for about a year. You were drawn to his mischevous smile and his carefree nature. However, being a pirate, he was never in one place for long. So he would leave and you'd wait for his return.
You waited for the waves to whisper his name, hoping to catch a glimpse of him on the waters. You waited for the winds to carry his laughter, longing for the sound that filled you with joy.
He did end up returning, only for your smile to turn into a frown as the weight of Ace's battle with Blackbeard hung in the air. Your heart sank as he shared his dangerous mission. But despite your protests and tears, he knew he had to confront this challenge.
With a heavy heart, he pressed the vivre card into your hand, a tangible connection to him as he embarked on his dangerous journey once again. He sailed away, leaving you once more, and you couldn't help but fear for his safety, praying for his swift return.
Days turned into weeks. Weeks to months and you still clung to the hope that he would walk through that door. His smile brighter than the sun, his embrace warmer than any blanket. Every sunrise brought a flicker of optimism.
You waited through storms and cold nights. You waited through this whispers of doubt that plagued your mind, the voices questioned if he'd ever come back.
Yet through it all, you held on to the vivre card he left behind. It became your lifeline. A beacon of hope within the vast expanse of uncertainty. You'd clutch it tightly, tracing it's borders, willing to keep it whole, to keep him close, and to keep you from shattering into a million pieces.
Then one day, as you sat by the window, bathing in the glow of the setting sun, you noticed it.
A faint wisp of smoke curling from the card's edges. He was hurting, you knew that much. But you also knew he was strong, and surely, the card would become whole again in no time.
As the edges continued to burn and the card became smaller, your heart clenched with worry. Something was wrong. And you held on to it tighter as if your grip alone could save him from whatever danger he was in.
Your heart raced with anticipation and you prayed for anny sign that would tell you he's okay. Instead of relief, panic washed over you.
The vivre card was fading and you watched in horror as the flames consumed it, turning into ash that scattered into the breeze, leaving you empty-handed and hollow.
Denial clawed at you, refusing to accept the truth that whispered in the ashes.
But when the newspapers came, bearing the weight of the news-shattering headline, reality crashed over you like a tidal wave. You read the words through tear-blurred eyes, each letter like a dagger in your already wounded soul.
Portgas D. Ace, Deceased.

CW: post marineford spoilers ahead, reader is apart of the whitebeard pirates, a lil bit of angst, grief, kissing, Ace visits reader in her dream one night
Cee’s Note: i miss him sm 😢 i hope y’all enjoy
Song inspo: Dreaming of you- Selena
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s been a while since you’ve gotten proper rest. Not since…that day.
The day your entire world was turned upside down.
Every night you cried yourself to sleep, only to be awakened by nightmares of the events of the Paramount war. Reliving his death over and over again, as if your mind was trying to torture you.
It got so bad, that you dreaded sleep altogether. The skin under your eyes darkened from fatigue and your sullen features made you unrecognizable by your crew. You always had the kindest smile and was filled with so much laughter but now your eyes looked empty and you barely spoke anymore. Marco was beginning to worry for your health. The death of pops and Ace still hurt him, but he could tell you were dealing with it the worst. After all, Ace was more than just a crew mate to you.
He was your lover
One night, Marco insisted you get some rest. Before you could protest, Marco already cut you off, declaring it’s the “doctor’s order”. You reluctantly secluded in your personal quarters to turn in for the night. As soon as your head hit the pillow, you had managed to drift to sleep pretty quickly, exhaustion finally taking over. As your eyes fluttered shut, you prepared yourself for yet another dream of pirates and marines fighting and your boyfriend having a hole punched through him. However, you were met with a warm smile and gentle brown eyes.
“Ace?”
You could faintly make out his adorable boyish grin and the freckles that decorated his nose and cheek.
“Hey sleeping beauty,” he winked.
Your eyes widened and before you knew it, you practically tackled him in a tight embrace.
“Whoa…haha…looks like someone’s excited to see me”, he chuckled, placing a kiss atop your head.
The warmth emulating from his body and his familiar scent overwhelmed your senses.
You raise your head from his neck, still in awe that it was actually him. You graze your hand against his freckled cheek before bringing your lips to his.
You missed the feeling of his toned arms holding you against him, the way his soft lips felt against yours, the way he hummed against your lips.
You couldn’t help the tears that flowed down your cheek as you had longed for his kisses for so long. When he broke the kiss, he noticed your tear stained face and concern laced his handsome features
“Y/N, hey hey,” he cooed, rubbing his thumb against your cheek as you continued to sob. You couldn’t help it. You missed him so fucking much and being able to kiss and hold him again was just too much.
“C’mon Y/N, we talked about this,” Ace sighed, thumb still swiping the tears off your cheek.
Your weeping pauses at his words, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
“I have to bring Teach to justice for what he did, you know this”, Ace continues, not catching your confused features.
Suddenly a sense of deja vu hits you at his words. You two have had this conversation already. This was the last conversation you had with Ace before he left to hunt down Blackbeard.
You remembered how upset you were about Ace going after Teach. You had a gut feeling about the whole thing and when Ace refused to listen, you remembered how angry you were with him. Looking back now, you hated that your gut feeling was right, but hated more that you couldn’t do more to stop him.
“Ace, please,” you croaked, your eyes holding so much sadness, “don’t go”
If you could just convince him, everything will be okay again.
You wouldn’t feel empty anymore.
“If I don’t do this, I could not live with myself as a commander. I know it’s hard but I really need you to believe in me”, Ace says as he holds your hands in his.
Realization dawned on you, as you gazed at the man before you. You knew him too well to know that once his mind is set, there’s no talking him out of it. You couldn’t change the outcome, no matter how much you wanted to. After all, this was just a dream.
“I do believe in you, Ace,” you squeeze his hands, your thumb rubbing circles against the back of his palm.
There’s so much you want to say to him. So many things you wished you could have said before it was too late. But for some reason, the words weren’t coming out, you just stared at him with glossy eyes as he smiles at you.
“I will be back before you know it, I could never leave my girl all alone for too long” he smirks.
‘But he did’
“Can you just lay with me, Ace”
Ace smile grows bigger and he lays you both down. Your back is against his chest as he holds you from behind. He litters soft kisses to the side of your neck and cheek.
“I love you so much Ace”
His lips pause against your neck, and he tilts his head to look you in your eyes.
“I love you too Y/N”
Your eyes well up again and you try your hardest to swallow the lump in your throat.
“Please never forget that. You are loved and you deserve the world. It is so unfair what life has thrown at you. I wish things were different but just remember how loved you are” you whisper to him.
Now his eyes started to well up and all he could do was capture your lips in a passionate kiss.

In The Stars
PAIRING: Portgas D. Ace x Reader
SUMMARY: “Now you’re in the stars, and six feet never felt so far. Here I am alone, between the heavens and the embers.”
GENRE: Angst
WARNINGS: Established relationship. Mentions of death. Swearing. SPOILERS!
WORD COUNT: 1k words
Tumblr media
“Y/n, please, just come back to the village. You need to rest.” Marco was worried.
It’s been over a month after Ace’s death, and you don’t even dare to move from his grave. There have been times when Marco had to pick you up from the ground since that was the only way he was able to at least make you eat.
But at this point, he doesn’t know what to do anymore. He’s tried everything, but you just keep coming back here.
“Just ten more minutes. I promise”
“We both know that’s a lie. You cannot keep doing this to yourself.”
“I just… I can’t…” This month, you’ve been silent. Speaking just when it’s strictly necessary. Not because you don’t want to, but because every time you dare to talk, you start to feel a lump in your throat. And even having a normal conversation becomes harder.
“He wouldn’t like-”
“Stop. He’s not… here…” You couldn’t bring yourself to say the last word. Saying it would make it a reality, and you still couldn’t accept the fact that he was gone forever.
“You can't keep doing this. Coming here daily, sneaking out at night, just to return here. If you keep doing this, not sleeping, not eating well, you will end up dying.” you wanted to laugh at his comment. Marco used to be one of the most reckless people you knew in your entire life, and here he was, worried that you may die. 
“Don’t you think that’s… a little bit of an exaggeration?” You chuckled and tried your best to show him you could improve if you wanted.
“Don’t you even try to lie to me. Did you forget I’ve known you for as long as I’ve known Ace?” you smiled at his comment, but that smile quickly faded. Pain started to go through your chest. He was right. This wasn’t healthy anymore. You weren’t fine.
But how could you even be fine after losing the love of your life, your partner in crime? There were so many thoughts going through your head right now. Why was life unfair? Why couldn't he just run? You preferred that he was well and alive and not with you instead of him being dead for a million different reasons. It would be just better like that. At least you could live in hopes of seeing him again. The mere thought of not being able to see his beautiful eyes and pretty smile, not being able to hear his voice, and not being able to hug him ever again was heartbreaking.
You didn’t even realize when Marco sat next to you until you heard his voice way closer than before.
“I miss him too. I’ve been reliving the moment everything unfolded over and over again. Maybe I was able to do something. Maybe if I just-” Marco choked in his saliva. He was just as distraught as you were.
“You should also stop doing that to yourself, Marco'' you managed to say as tears rolled down your cheeks. The thought of living when Ace wasn’t with you anymore seemed horrible. And it looks like Marco was also beating himself up for that.
“He would be so mad at us for being like this. He would definitely tell us to stop being such crybabies,” Marco said as he smiled.
You covered your face with your hands as more tears started to fall. Fuck. How were you supposed to move on from him? Is it even possible to move on from losing someone who meant the world to you? Not only you but someone who was so important to so many people? Were you going to be able to live the rest of your life when everyone knew who Ace was? And maybe, just maybe, knowing someone could bring him up at any given moment?
“I just want to let you know I don’t think you are to blame for even something in this whole situation. You shouldn’t be beating yourself up for something that I know was his decision, Marco.” this was the first sentence you managed to say without being out of breath.
“I know, but god, he was so reckless. He just ugh…” Marco seemed tired. It was the first time you paid attention to him. These huge bags were under his eyes, and his eyes were irritated. 
“I know I can’t live like this forever. It’s just… hard, you know? Yeah, having a pirate life always meant living at risk, but I’ve always thought we would have more time with him.” Finally, your feelings and thoughts that have been eating you alive for the past month were seeing the light of day. And you knew Marco may also be feeling just as you were, with a hole in your chest. It is as if someone took the most important thing in your life. Marco wrapped one of his arms around your upper back, seeking to give you some comfort. At the end of the day, both of you were mourning the loss of someone who both of you appreciated and loved deeply. Who else would know the feeling of loss than your boyfriend’s best friend?
“It won’t be easy, for sure. But at least we got to meet someone like him. That’s the best thing. Don’t you think?” Marco sighed. He was glad to finally hear your feelings. For a reason, he thought you were blaming him, or he thought you had some resentment towards him. But he should’ve known better. You wouldn’t do that.
“I guess you’re right…”
“I’m not saying this for you to just magically get over this situation.” Somehow Marco was aware you wouldn’t like to hear the word “death,” and he wouldn’t fuck up the situation now that you were able to tell him how you were feeling, even if it’s just a little of the big waves of emotions he knows you’ve been experimenting. “But it will simply pass. And one day, you will be able to remember those moments you had with him with adoration, and you’re going to be thankful it happened.”
You stayed in silence as tears kept rolling from your cheeks. Marco was right; well, he was always right. But as for now, you weren’t ready to say goodbye to Ace just yet.

HIIII sorry if you’ve already done this but could you do a ace x fem angst where she’s a mizu mizu no mi user and she’s going through all the 5 stages of greif but can you add revenge
THANK YOU XOXO 😁😁😁😁😁
Hi. I have not done anything like this before. I’ve been kind of obsessed with the thought of Ace having a s/o who is a water user. So I’m so thrilled that you sent this in. It’s a weird set up, but it’s for a reason. I hope you enjoy it!
WARNING: Angst, Spoilers, Mentions of depression
(Ace x Fem Reader) Waves of Grief
Tumblr media
Denial.
He was going to come back.  You knew it!  That was just a joke.  That’s what you told yourself.  You would go to your favorite spot in the crows nest every day and wait.  He was coming up to spend time with you.  Right?
Anger.
You wish he’d just listen to Pops and let Teach  go.  He was such an idiot.  He should have controlled his anger.  He should have ignored Akainu and ran.  But of course he couldn't because he was so dense.  He wasn’t the only one you hated.  You wished they would have stopped him every step along the way.  You wished you had convinced him to stay!
Revenge.
You wanted to go after them ALL!   Akainu. Blackbeard.  You wanted to make them suffer like you.  You knew you could.  You were water.  And that was a Devil Fruit’s weakness.  You created a plan.  You had started making preparations.  You had found their current locations.  You were ready to avenge his death.  Until, Marco stopped you from going.
Bargaining.
What if I went with him? What if this, what if that.  You prayed and prayed that he would come back.  There were so many ifs.  You wished you could be sent back to change it all.  And if you were, you would be the best girlfriend and daughter in the world.
Depression.
Emptiness was all you felt.  You wanted to do nothing.  Not without Ace.  He might have been fire, but opposites attract.  Without him, you felt like there was no place to call home anymore.  Nothing made you happy.  You were numb.  Everyone tried to help you, but nothing helped you feel better.
Acceptance.
He was gone.  You knew that.  It still hurt, but it was time to go on.  Not because you didn’t love him.  You did it because that’s what he would want his favorite girl to do.  As you sailed on the ocean, in his striker he so loved.  You still knew he was there, but in spirit.  As you moved the striker with your water, you remembered his dying words.  The ocean continues to move even when everything seems hopeless.  Be the ocean.  Continue to move.  Thank you for loving me Y/N.”

「 portgas d. ace x fem!reader 」
____________________________________________
you remember that day clearly. like glass. if it wasn't for luffy, you'd never have known that you were capable of loving. of being loved.
and you do it. you love him. you love him, and he does, too. you also love ace, maybe a little more than luffy and sabo.
you think you love him so so so so so so much. it hurts.
you have had many misadventures and adventures with the trio. it just hurts that they all have finally left. and again, you are alone. dark and cold, messy and disgusting.
you think you'd like to see them again. and not see the hell that life threw at you without a single thought.
but a promise is a promise. you'd wait. and he'd come. portgas d ace has never broken a promise to you.

Characters: Portgas D. Ace x fem! reader
Tumblr media
Warnings: 1. most important - !spoilers! fic based on the events of Marineford - if you have not watched/read that part, I'd recommend you skip over this fic. 2. angst; bit of fluff to help; emotions from top to bottom; under the cut is literally me trying to process the events
Tumblr media
Author’s note: NEVER planned on actually posting this but @uchihabbynic truly loved it. it gave me the confidence boost i needed to not throw it somewhere into the void - thank you once again for being such a supportive bestie 💕 especially since this is my first time writing for One Piece. Closed my eyes and pressed “Post.”
Tumblr media
Amber ashes were swiftly, quietly, carried by the wind of a change that was yet to come in the mere few minutes left of a world that feared itself, of a world through which the harsh reality drew a line, separating two very distinct entities clashing against each other since the dawn of time. Drought, bearing the semblance of a Summer too long to bear through without the sea, ravaged mercilessly past your strained vocal chords, grasping the sensitivity of a throat that has not known water since the beginning of an unexpected end has graced a land where life and death are judged, decided and ordered around as mere tokens of a ruthless powerhouse – Marineford.
Chanting, screaming, cheering and threats were all that your being could comprehend at the moment, unable to sense the pungent smell of gunpowder, unable to feel the viciousness of the world grasping what was left of your battered skin, unable to see what was happening into the epicenter of what was going to change every single life that dared to breathe in the blood coated air of the Marine Headquarters. A wall of fire circled around you, serving as a protector in the face of a brewing fight that had suddenly been cut off, its blazing heat being all too familiar, all too soothing, pinching your senses with nothing but the calm feeling of home. Blood coated teeth peeked from under a pair of lips that curved upwards into a fond smile, slowly melting into a quiet laugh, right palm raised to ghost over the flaming wall in front of you before fingers returned to brush softly over the letters carefully etched under the left collarbone. A sign of the times that went with ease while into the grasp of the man you so feverishly loved, a sign of the times that were yet to come into the arms of the person you called home.
“Alright!” laughter slipped past chapped lips, arms stretching out as their bones cracked softly. “This is enough already! Let me out so I can break some legs!”
Words falling on deaf ears – crushing voice powering through the wall of fire, ruthless and unwavering in its mission to tear through the thick skins you all have built along the years, aiming to diminish and destroy the victory you all have recently acquired. Foul words, disgraceful behavior of a tongue laced with nothing but pure hatred punched through the cracks to unveil a rage that had settled inside of your heart.
“Akainu ..” whisper of a name that slashed across your tongue bloomed inside the fiery confinement.
“Ace!” Luffy’s voice tore through the flames, battling between concern and warning, heartbeats picking up in their pace recognizing the tonality in an instant.
“Let me out. This is not funny.” your voice called steadily, one step being taken further as if trying to approach whatever was going on outside.
“Don’t give in to his taunting!” another voice thundered, eyes blooming with horror — sensing, knowing, ears picking up faintly on a harsh turn of a pair of heels that suddenly were a stranger.
“Jimbei ..” you swallowed harder than ever, gathering all the power that was left under the skin of a fight you could no longer carry. “LET ME OUT! ACE LET ME OUT! PLEASE, PLEASE LET ME OUT!”
Indistinguishable shouting melted into the constant gunfire grazing the battlefield, screams of encouragement and pain lacing the sky above the flames. Skin began crawling with unleveled anxiety, foot slamming against the tiles, teeth pushing into the lower lip with such force another split carved the blood’s way out. Ragged breath crashed viciously on its way out of lungs that seemed to shrink with every passing second, quiet growls stumbling past teeth that felt as if belonging to another. For a woman that has never begged for a single thing since being old enough to sail on the unknown sea, it was now happening with a desperate need, wishing to have the ability to slip past the blazing fire without as much as a scratch.
“Fuck this!” rage bounced back off the wall, frown dipping into a threatening stance, teeth clashing against each other as the courage bubbled up to the surface. “I AM COMING OUT EVEN IF IT MEANS I’LL MELT TO DEATH!”
As if on a cue signaled by the highest of Gods overseeing a ruptured desperation, the infamous fire extinguished in the blink of an eye, leaving you bare and exposed to the cruelty of Marineford. Heavy smoke engulfed the surroundings that seemed to be unknown at the moment, eerie silence falling upon the battlefield, surprise twisting your angered features into confusion and wonder.
“When I’ll find you, I’ll ..” words filled with amusement tumbled back down a sore throat, gaze following what seemed to be a crystalized drop of blood rolling quietly at your feet.
Picking it up into your palm, head cocked from one side to the other while studying the unusual apparition, legs moving on their own accord in an attempt to find a way through the smoke. With each confused step, a friend or ally was revealed from within the intoxicating fog, peace and calmness entrapping your heart at the sudden feeling of being in between the ones that represented safety. Playing with the crystalized drop, eyes caught immediately on the all too familiar straw hat secured on Luffy’s back, noticing him kneeled and still, an arm draped over his shoulder, one you could so easily recognize even in between a thousand others.
“How long were you planning to hold me there, ha?” bright smile cutting through the smoke that began to clear up as each second passed by, ready to walk next to your person and out of this God forsaken place. “I know we agreed to protect each other but today I’m here to protect ..”
Brush of violent wind traveled across the battlefield, dragging along with it the cloud of heavy smoke that seemed to be endless, exposing the people surrounding you to light, unveiling a scene that caused cracks to appear into the smile you so carelessly threw around when feeling once again the sweet taste of freedom.
“ .. you.” broken voice laid out its glass pieces on the blood drenched ground, crashing abruptly against the harsh reality of what was to come.
 This cruel, hateful life you adored, oh, so much when with him, was drained instantaneously, pallor taking over the features of what was once pure happiness, fingers trapping into the palm the drop of blood that began cooling down. As if turned to stone for the remaining time the Earth was going to sustain its life, trapped into a present that shackled the remnants of your being, you could not do anything but be graced with the horror lunging forward to wrap its heavy hands around your throat.
“A-Ace?” lips allowed themselves to part, the name of the person you loved most gliding across a heavy tongue with an unrecognizable softness hiding the painful beginning of agony.
Adrenaline, shock and moments of a lifetime were carried along the reddish veins stretching across a pair of glassy eyes solely focused on the face that was not quite ready to become a memory. It was quite astonishing how only three mere steps separated Ace from you, yet paralyzed legs felt as if melting into the ground, incapable of moving even an inch. There was no more sound, perishing along with Luffy’s voice as it lost itself into an inhabited void, one in which the millions of shattered pieces of a broken heart fell.
Dust coated freckles were exchanged for the pair of lips that used to be the storyteller of great adventures, hiding in between them wit not many could handle, keeping for themselves the whispers shared under bright constellations, only the sea being the sole witness to two people tying themselves to each other and allowing for their hearts to be bound together. Now, the same lips that etched their mark on yours, were whispering into Luffy’s ear, a certain amount of words left up for chance.
“W-wait ..” shaky breath followed what seemed to be the pleading tonality you were unable to hold back, arm raised, begging for what was not within its grasp, fingers pinched with falling ashes. “Please ..”
Erratic heartbeats carved their way through the thickness of a rib cage that felt as if caving inwards under the pressure of fatality, shackles of shell shock breaking as your first step towards Ace was dragged across the ground. Why was he so close, yet feeling as if far away? It used to be different. It used to be about closeness in separation, him so far away, yet so unbelievably close, tucked into every single crevice of your aching heart.
The last of the steps attempting to be taken in its desire to reach what was now slipping slowly away from you, abruptly crashed against the ground, two pairs of eyes meeting in the middle of it all. All too familiar dark gaze pooled into yours, reaching as far as humanly possible to take into its grasp what was going to be the last remnants of a shattered soul. Trapped between the back and forth of a past melting into the horrific present, all of Luffy’s pleading to Ivankov in a desperate attempt at saving his brother, perishing into a mute background that encircled just the two of you as it always did — Ace and Y/N, a brief story to last a lifetime.
That was when you realized.
That was when you knew.
That was when you remembered.
Not all stories last a lifetime.
“Hm?” hum slipping quietly, teeth nipping softly at the bottom lip, a sign of an unwavering concentration as you expertly allowed for the quill to trace its patterns along the page.
“You didn’t hear a thing.” Ace’s chuckle fanning against your ear, arms tightening their grip around the middle of your warm body, tucking you even closer to him than possible.
Feet dangled off the edge of the ship, your favorite place to sit when the sea was calm and welcoming, Ace’s figure shielding you from any possible slip, muscles tensing with each sway of the waves, that might end in a saving attempt. He often found it amusing how much you hated to be saved, to be saved by him.
“Was it important?” cheeky smile tugging at the corners of your mouth while setting the quill on the edge next to you, head falling backwards to rest on his broad shoulder.
“Everything I say is.” defeated sigh stumbling past the pair of pink lips marked completely as yours and yours only, childish pout bringing forward the sun kissed freckles you adored more than he even knew.
“I forgot that whenever the mighty Fire Fist Ace speaks the world falls silent.” sarcasm dripped off your tongue while raising the recent drawing into the air, blocking the sunlight completely, shaky breath brushing across the sensitive skin of your cheek. “Mighty indeed.”
“That’s how you see me?” Ace’s voice faltering with each note, gaze snapping upwards to be met with an expression filled with nothing but pure shock, mouth agape and chin quivering. 
“What do you mean?” brows furrowed in confusion, not understanding where all of this was coming from as you drew him many times before. “Yes, this is how I see you.”
“It’s different from the rest.” he swallowed hard, the sound pinching your eardrums with a never heard before heaviness.
“It’s gonna sound so cheesy but ..” taking a deep breath, burning blush creeping upwards along the neck and settling on your cheeks, tucking the drawing into the chest as if afraid of losing it into the wind. “This is what I saw the moment I told you that I love you that night.”
Deafening silence.
Ace sucked in a breath, body tensing abruptly while erratic heartbeats thumped loudly against your back. Slight tremble was unleashed from the top of his fingertips that dug into your sides, rushing along the protruding veins scattered across the hands, sadness flashing into the eyes that captured your entire being since the moment you’ve met, mere teenagers with dreams bigger than life itself.
Undeserving, you thought while noticing the all too familiar signs Ace displayed whenever you proved that such words, full of a deeper meaning, were indeed meant for him and no one else. Lips pressed with care on the soft skin of his neck, pulsepoint feverishly throbbing at the most simple contact, before traveling upwards to brush against the ear of a pinkish tint.
“That’s how you look when you’re loved.” whispers carrying a sweetness you not so oftenly showed to others, except him. “Calm and clear like the night sky that holds its stars most dear.”
“Y/N ..” Ace rasped quietly, head leaning in for its ear to press against your lips.
“At peace. Like when the sea had finally set you free.” you continued, carving yet another path towards the heart of a man that could not comprehend how anyone was capable of loving him. “Beautiful. Just like the man I love.”
“You know .. who we are, what we do .. the dangers we live through ..” the deepest of breaths escaped the man many feared, many admired and many hunted. “Not all stories last a lifetime.”
“Hm, that so?” you smiled when being hit with his self-protecting stance – he loved you, there was absolutely no question about it, and that frightened even the Fire Fist. “Depends on how they’re told.”
“Come ‘ere.” Ace laughed quietly when being met with the classic “I’m having the last word” trait that was troublesome to an unimaginable extent, spinning you around with the ease of a feather taken by the wind – now face to face with the boyish grin you adored, lips meeting so briefly it felt as if they never touched before his bright features fell into an expression on which sadness, determination and seriousness battled. “I have something to tell you.”
“You found Teach.” a knowing smile stretched across your lips, knowing the man that was now tucked safely in between your legs, hips being squeezed gently, better than you knew yourself. “This is something you have to do on your own.”
“Yeah ..” Ace nodded slowly, eyes avoiding direct contact, focused on the tattoo etched under your left collarbone that beautifully spelled the three letters carrying his name. “It has to end.”
“Hey.” palms cupping his sun kissed cheeks, gaze instantaneously meeting yours in what seemed to be a silent apology he could not utter. “He has nothing on you and, before you know it, we’ll be back here again.”
“I’m not worried about him!” Ace jumped as if burned, even the slightest implication that he could be afraid turning him into a king no mere person could reach, appalled expression taking over before settling with a sigh. “It’s just that it might take some time and I can’t tell you how long it’ll ..”
“Here, take this.” abruptly cutting the sentence off before falling into the endless void of missing him before he even left, quickly pressing the drawing against his chest. “Not all stories last a lifetime but this one will.”
Staring at each other as if meeting for the first time in your lives, sadness melting into an overflowing love not many could consider themselves lucky to have encountered, hot fingertips pressed into the chin, pulling you forward to be once again blessed with the kiss capable of twisting your heart in breathtaking motions. Souls hummed in a perfect harmony as the words either of you did not utter were silently spoken through the ardent clash of feverish lips. Arms tightly wrapped around the neck of the man you loved beyond anyone's capacity of understanding, pulling him into you under the hidden fear of losing the person that was your comfort, your home, your endless lifeline.
Waves sang as they crashed against the ship, witnesses to the story of meant to be, laughter erupting into the air as Ace placed his signature hat on your head with a boyish grin that split across his face, flicking playfully at your forehead. Fingers ran through his dark locks, memorizing the softness in which you tangled them every single night when asleep next to him. 
“Robin?!” surprise captured your expression, completely stunlocked at the person standing outside the door of your childhood home.
Ocean blue eyes flickered with a hidden enthusiasm, matching the melancholy curving the woman’s lips into one of the softest smiles anyone has ever offered after that dreadful day. Another long, lost friend through the threads of a time placed under lock and key, tucked safely as far as possible into the depths of a mind that did not belong anymore to the person you had become.
Oh, the scent Robin was engulfed with! That of the sea and its welcoming waves, of freshly grown oranges from an orchard you knew too well, and of unknown adventures. Each pinch of the nostrils pulling yet another thread from a time written in the little diary hidden under the floorboards of the bedroom in which you have been sleeping on your own.
“Luffy said that ..” Robin’s soft, soothing voice uttered the name of another person you held most dear, a name that shut your jaw in a tight, painful clench. “.. it’s time.”
Erratic heartbeats bloomed into the chest the moment she held out two fingers in front of your eyes, a neatly folded piece of paper residing in between them. Instinctually, a choked out gasp slipped past the lips, right hand darting upwards to clutch at your collarbone, Ace’s name burning deeply etched into the skin, heart threatening to carve its way out. Fear began spreading the same way a wildfire ravages everything in its path, tears pooling into your eyes as their focus was solely set on the meaningful piece of paper.
Return to Marineford – the place where you parted ways with Ace’s brother, Luffy, in the aftermath of the death of the man you loved more than life itself. Still did, a raging pain nestled into the deep crevices of a heart that was never going to be able to heal. Unable to look into the eyes of the boy whose brother you could not protect, as always sworn and promised, the decision to disappear for the remaining days of your life being taken while he grinned from one ear to the other.
“Luffy, don’t.” quiet, pleading voice cracked when met with the challenge of hearing Ace’s last words meant solely for you, the words he couldn’t bear uttering directly while the last breath was given, entrusting them to the only person capable of getting through to you. “Please ..”
“I’m coming back for you.” Luffy’s certainty shocking you back to a cruel, painful reality that you did not wanted to live anymore – the determination gracing his voice unlocking a wave of burning tears, grazing mercilessly the cheeks that used to hold one of the brightest smiles, one that perished along with the love of your life. “When I do, join my crew!”
“There’s no reason for you to.” an unintentional hiss stumbling past teeth that kept clashing against each other with an anger that seemed to not disappear anytime soon – already knowing that you wanted nothing more than to help Luffy achieve his goal.
“Ace’s last words.” the boy claiming that he will become The King of Pirates opened his palm to reveal a neatly folded piece of paper, signature grin not faltering for a single second before his palm closed, hiding inside the words you wished to hear at least once more — from a voice that lost itself into a grief stricken heart, unable to speak anymore. “When the time’s right.”
Droplets rolled down the cheeks, two year memory vanishing into thin air, eyes darting back and forth in between Robin and the paper, teeth nipping at the bottom lip in an attempt to conceal a suffocating fear. Trembling hand reached for it slowly, carefully, afraid of touching the last piece of him, afraid of unlocking that part of yourself that represented nothing but him.
“Is Luffy here?” words tumbling out shaky, unsure, fearful even, as Robin nodded slowly.
“No one but him knows what is written in there.” she carefully moved the paper closer to you, nothing but the truth present in her eyes. “Luffy knows that you would never refuse him anything if asked. That is why I am the one giving this to you and not him. He said that Ace’s last words are the answer you have been looking for.”
“Ace ..” the name you have not uttered in two years brushed past your tear stained lips, releasing with it a wave of memories that carved their way out of the crevices in which they have been hidden.
“The past and the present are not two separate pieces of a life.” Robin’s melodic voice dripped with the same kindness that matched the smile still etched on her face, offering a safety not felt for the longest time. “One can’t live without the other.”
As the piece of paper slipped in between your fingers, Robin’s eyes closed, deep breath being taken as she took a step backwards before turning on her heels, leaving a dear old friend with the last words of a half that was never going to become a whole again.
Holding in your grasp the last piece of Ace’s heart, shaky fingers began unfolding the paper Luffy has been holding for the past two years, with the same love and care you once used to show the man haunting each dream that dared to grace the lonely nights. When the contents of the message were revealed, knees caved, hitting the floor with a pain you were no longer able to feel, uncontrollable tears overflowing past the point of no return, recognizing right away the lines etched into the paper. One hand held it while the other caressed the surface, touching the passing of time that rested upon it, two years of living locked in a single point in time, shackled by nothing but grief and the all too consuming feeling of losing what you had for not enough time. 
“You finally got to have the last word.” happiness laced your voice, head shaking slowly remembering how crazy you used to drive Ace with your ability to always have the last word in front of him.
Without even realizing, laughter bubbled into your throat, allowing it to finally be set free after being held down and forced to not exist if Ace did not. All the pain, anger, loneliness and guilt melted slowly into that pure love you thought was lost two years ago, on the grounds of Marineford, that love you always believed could only be felt if shared with him and no one else. Message pressed against the chest, head tilted upwards, allowing yourself to look at the sky and let the sun caress your face, taking away the pain it witnessed, bright smile spreading across the lips and getting accustomed to them once again.
“Luffy said that it’s time.”
Running as if your life depended on it, which was not far from the truth, crossing across the green planes of the small island on which you grew up, with nothing but a backpack and Ace’s message tightly clasped between the fingers trembling with an excitement that has not been felt in years. The sea was absolutely mesmerizing, quiet waves crashing against the shore in a rhythm only the ones that had set out to sail could understand it fully. It was calling for you, whispers of a story not many knew, about two people whose love was born across the deep blue of a mysterious world.
“LUFFY!” lungs powering through a shout that brought back to life a person you used to know, a person that you missed terribly – the person you used to be when with him. “EVERYONE!”
Cheering ensued in a split second, arms raised to wave, distinguishing Chopper jumping up and down with an intoxicating excitement. Aboard the Thousand Sunny waited the Straw Hats, the people that were about to become the family ready to follow you, to follow each other, to the end of the world.
Stopping next to the ship, silence fell upon the crew as Luffy stood tall on the edge, arms crossed against the chest while looking down at you with a small smile and eyes filled with a pride that had your chest bloom with happiness.
“Ready?” his steady voice hiding behind an excitement that was about to explode at any given moment.
Head lowered, hand raised slightly for your eyes to see the message that gave you back yourself and the answer to all the questions that used to torment every single second of a lonely life.
There it was – Ace’s favorite drawing, the one you quietly finished into his arms, the one in which he was able to see the way you saw him through your own eyes, the one in which the first “I love you” was said on a night where the only witnesses were the stars and the sea you both held dear. 
“I’m ready.” gaze shifted to meet Luffy’s, both childishly grinning from one ear to the other, matching in the exact same way him and Ace used to, the Straw Hats returning with their own smiles filled with a sense of accomplishment that could easily be felt into the air.
On the corner of the drawing, Luffy’s clumsy handwriting captured the last words Portgas D. Ace had for the first and only woman he had truly and undeniably loved:
Not all stories last a lifetime. Ours will.

♡ Nightmares
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
✎ w/ Luffy, Ace, Sabo ✎ ANGST ✎ Synopsis: he wakes up from a nightmare about you
Tumblr media
♡ Luffy Luffy jolted awake, finding himself in a dark room with sweat-soaked blankets. His heart beat was erratic as he looked around, picturing your tear streaked cheeks and scared, pleading eyes. Your cabin. He throws his blankets off and stumbles out of his hammock, paying no mind to the complaints of others and making a beeline for the door. The cold air bites his cheeks and suddenly the sheet of sweat covering his body is like ice, but he hurries on. He pauses when he gets to your door, placing his hand on the knob and bracing himself, not completely convincing himself he'll find your sleeping form when he opens it. Inhaling the icy air in a quick breath, Luffy opens the door and a small rectangle of light falls on the sleeping forms of his crew. His eyes immediately find your body, knee poking out of the covers and hair spread across your pillow like a web. Slowly, Luffy makes his way to your bedside, pulling the covers back slightly and slipping in beside you. You move towards his warmth and he accepts you into his arms and sweeps his hands tenderly over your back, hands slipping beneath your shirt to press the pads of his fingers against your warm skin. He closes his eyes and sighs against the crown of your head, heart slowing and body falling weak with exhaustion.
♡ Ace Ace jolted awake, looking around at the dark room lit only by rays of dim moonlight through the windows. He's in his cabin. Where are you?Whipping his head to the side where you had fallen asleep the night before, he finds a pile of blankets messily pushed off him. Where are you? His heart spikes in his chest and his stomach drops, he thinks he might puke. Where are you?! He shoots to his knees, frantically looking around the dark room in vain, he grabs at the sheets under him in frustration, breath getting caught in his throat as a million idea of what could be happening to you swim through his head. The sheets shuffle, he freezes. He grabs at the pile of blankets and pulls at them, locating your sleeping form which he'd accidentally covered when pushing the sweat-soaked sheets off his body. The moonlight outlined your silhouette and Ace felt like he'd been splashed with cold water, the sweat on his forehead turning icy in the cold room. He sits like this for awhile, watching your chest rise and fall with your breath, watching your eyes twitch. Ace wants to reach out and touch you as if you were a jewel-encrusted display at a museum, but he's afraid if he lays a finger on you you'll shatter and be lost in the sheets. You turn over and throw your hand over to where he'd be sleeping, clutching at empty air, and Ace finally moves. Reaching his hand down ever so slowly, so carefully, he lays his fingertips on your hand like he's trying not to break a surface of water. He runs his fingers up your arm, slowly, pressing more of his hand to your skin, feeling the warmth against his own. Ace slides his feet back under the covers and pulls them up to his waist, he takes you by the waist and pulls you flush against him, inhaling the scent of your hair.
He stares at the wall and listens to the sound of your breath, he swears he can feel your heart beat against his. ♡ Sabo Sabo sits panting among messed sheets, chest heaving up and down as your scream echoes through the corridors in his mind. Sweat beads his skin and he raises a hand to push his hair back. His feet appear out from under the covers and upon feeling the cold floor Sabo hunches and lets his mind fall into place. He searches through the anxiety and anger, fear and confusion, and finds that his body is craving you. Like when you get the gnawing idea you forgot something at home, he has the gnawing idea he'll search for you and find nothing but anguish. He grabs the glass of water on his nightstand, gulping it in seconds as stray streams run down his throat. Setting the glass down and throwing on his jacket and shoes, he hurries out the door. Having a mission, you were supposed to get back at one-thirty and it's almost two-thirty, you should be in your room. Sabo nearly runs down the hall, almost running into someone rounding a corner, and knocks quickly on your door. His heart pounds against his ribcage and he feels like his head is foggy with worries, what will he do if you don't open up? You should be back, why wouldn't you be back? Where are you? What if-- the door opens and you peer up the blond man. His eyes are bloodshot and wide with fear, face flushed and sick-looking. Before you can even comprehend what's happening, Sabo pushes you back through the door and pushes it shut behind, shoving his lips against yours as he guides you further into the small room. You put your hands up on his chest and push him back gently, confused and worried. Asking him what's wrong, he stutters out, "I- I- You were- You-" and you wrap your arms around him, cradling the back of his head with one hand as he hurries his head in your neck. He starts taking deep breaths, clinging to you. After a few moments, you feel his body lose some tension and he lets out a shuddering breath. "I'm sorry, I just got worried you weren't back...", he says sheepishly, panic being replaced by embarrassment. You think it's sweet, but you hate how worked up he was and how scared he looked "Sleep here tonight," you say quietly and he relaxes more against you, raising his head and pressing his lips against your forehead.

— ★ BIRTHDAY BOY // PORTGAS D. ACE
Tumblr media
content & warnings: fem!reader, canon-verse, spoilers about ace’s family if you haven’t got up to marineford 🚶🏽‍♂️, whitebeard crew member!reader, mentions of alcohol, smut (69, fingering, breastplay) ace has a dirty mouth in this, mdni, past traumas, mentions of grooming, death (maternal mortality), angsty but comfort & fluff
author’s note: happy birthday (01/01) to my freckled sunshine eee
word count: 2.3k
"Eh? What do you mean Ace doesn't celebrate his birthday?" You questioned as you sat with the others for dinner.
"Beats me." Thatch chuckled. "He gets all pissy when you bring it up."
Whitebeard's crew always felt like a family affair, and Ace had always been celebrated. A party animal like Ace not wanting to enjoy his special day sounded completely absurd to you.
Ace was sat on the crow's nest, overlooking the orange hues of the sunset as the Moby Dick swayed in a rhythmic grace on the calm waters.
The last time one of the rowdy crew members insisted on making a big spectacle for his birthday and refused to drop it, resulted in a fistfight where Ace had knocked the poor man's tooth out and left him with a black eye.
He'd learned to laugh it off now.
"Mind if I join you?" You grinned after you clambered the mast.
"Sure." Ace said with his trademark wolfish grin, scooting up. A comfortable silence fell over the both of you as you gazed up at the seagulls calling as they flew.
"Do you remember when we met?" You said, turning to face him.
"Yeah.." He chortled. "You gave your poor sis hell."
Your sister was one of Whitebeard's nurses for his deteriorating health. She often made remarks he was the one patient who would drink while receiving an IV drip.
And there was nothing anybody could do about it. You always snuck on board to get a peep of the colossal figure dubbed "The Strongest Man in the World."
The other members always treated you like a pest, chucking you out every time you snuck on board much to your dismay.
That is until you helped a wandering Fire Fist Ace sneak away from marines, proving your loyalty and worth.
Your sister always struggled with raising you and she knew you were better suited for life on the seas. So she let you go. It was a stepping stone for life, and you were eternally grateful.
"Usually I'm quite good at going undetected by those floozies." Ace chuckled. "I was probably hungover or somethin'!"
"Ace...you mind if I ask you something?" You asked finally mustering up the courage.
"Shoot." He responded.
"...Why don't you celebrate your birthday?"
He tensed up, jaw clenching. Ace had a soft spot for you so he bit his tongue, not wanting to be an asshole and yell.
"Whose big mouth flapped their gums?" He settled on, voice still venomous despite his attempts at restraining himself as he rubbed the nape of his neck.
"Don't blame them, Ace...I was snooping around. I'm sorry."
He made a disgruntled noise as his face crinkled up in disgust.
"Don't say sorry, jeez. Making me feel like an asshat."
You snorted at his comment.
"What's the big flap about birthdays anyways? It's just like any ole day." He said gruffly.
"You get older.." You said softly.
"And it's the day you came into this world. It deserves to be celebrated."
Ace's mind replayed that sentence on a loop for some odd reason as he lay on his bed after most of the crew headed to turn in for the night.
Turmoil was always brewing within Ace. Despite the polite, happy-go-lucky and cheeky front he put out, his mind felt as if he was stuck in quicksand of wondering why he was alive.
He loathed his father. He loved his mother and sometimes, very rarely he would lay in bed thinking about the way she protected him, so much so it had cost her life.
Nobody has memories of birth, but he liked to picture being held by his mother. During infancy. During childhood. Hell, even as a teenager before he took off.
This already stabbing guilt worsened knowing she had died that same day he was born.
He constantly blamed himself. It was irrational, he knew. Sometimes sacrifices are made by a person and as devastating as they may be, they should be respected regardless.
Garp never spoke about Ace's parents to him. He had let it slip after getting blind drunk at one of the mountain bandit's raves that Ace was the spitting image of Roger with Rouge's freckles.
He loathed his father. He loved his mother.
So the information he had inherited something from her sparked joy in his otherwise miserable existence.
Ace was torn away from his dark thoughts when he heard a knock on his cabin.
"Oh...hey Y/N-" He trailed off when he saw you holding a sprinkled cupcake with a single candle planted into it.
"What's all this...?" He asked eyebrow arched.
"It's for you.." You smiled. "I was gonna borrow a lighter but you can light it yourself, mhm?"
"That I can." He chuckled wryly. He stepped to the side to usher you in and closed the door.
The bed creaked as you sat down after placing it on the wooden desk. Ace slumped into the chair, his arms on the rests.
"You don't gotta tell me why you hate your birthday but...make a wish, hm?"
Ace let out a sigh as he shook his head. He could never say no to you. He lit the candle with the tip of his forefinger.
He was stuck on what exactly to wish for but his eyes flickered to you, who was gazing at him expectantly, he felt a surge of warmth in his chest.
After he said his wish in his mind, he blew out the candle. You dipped your index finger in the butterscotch cream, swiping it on the tip of his nose, earning a hearty chuckle from Ace as he threw his head back.
The type of belly ache laugh that makes the muscles in your cheeks hurt. He never thought he could even have a genuine smile today.
He mischievously swiped some of the cream onto your lips and nudged his forehead against yours.
"May I?"
You drew a sharp intake of breath, blood roaring in your ears as his dark eyes glinted with the lantern behind you.
"...Yes." You whispered, and Ace immediately cupped your cheek and slotted his lips against yours. You were still sitting on the bed, his hand pressing firmly against the mattress as he leaned down to kiss you.
The kiss was sweet from the taste of the cream to the tender-like movements of Ace's lips against yours.
When he lapped up the flavor from your lips, he slid his tongue against yours earning a soft whimper from you as heat pooled deep in your gut.
"ACE!" You squeaked out.
Against the pillows, your heart thumped in anticipation. He stood as he unbuckled his belt and let his shorts drop to his ankles.
It was a lewd sight you suppose, and it'd probably get crazier as this went on.
He was on all fours, crawling towards you which was a little funny to see, then he slotted himself between your legs and began to glide his tongue along the skin of the juncture between your shoulders and neck.
You let out a gasp at the sensation of his large hands squeezing your breast.
"Already..?" He whispered in your ear, his thumb flicking the hardened nipple.
Ace by no means was a lothario, and his own sexual experiences had come from the early days when he first ventured out into the sea.
The older women always told him how much of a pretty boy he was and how his freckles were to die for.
At the time he felt his chest swell with pride, especially when his older crew mates propped him up. Saying how much of a real man he was now.
But late at night he often thought back and he felt disgusted with himself. He hated it. He couldn't exactly pinpoint why he felt that way but he couldn't stand it.
So he steered away from intimacy. He could flirt his way out of trouble but when things ever began to heat up when he was on his expeditions around, he knew when to cut and run.
Somehow, as he was about to engage in something so heated with you he oddly felt comforted. As if this was meant to happen.
"Ace..." You murmured as his lips began to suck and lick the flesh of your stomach.
"What is it princess, do you want me to stop..?" He asked gently, dark eyes flickering to yours full of warmth and tenderness.
"No...I want this.." You mumbled, the tips of your ears red as you felt exposed in front of Ace. "But if it's your special day, I should be the one treating you."
A very predatory almost primal-looking glint gleamed in Ace's eyes.
"Baby...do you trust me?" Ace questioned.
You nodded. He made you stand up as he sat on the edge of the bed.
Ace already naked, began to peel off the remainder of your night clothes until you were fully nude in front of him.
He slowly began to lave kisses and sucked on your nipples, causing your breath to hitch in your throat, gripping your hips to keep you in place.
You whimpered his name, goosebumps trailing all over your body as your pussy began to almost sob at the attention. Ace swiped his middle and forefinger between your folds, practically in awe at your wetness.
He looked up to meet your eyes once more, his own swirling with lust.
"All this for me, baby?"
Unsure of what to say, you simply nodded.
"You're mighty sweet, aren't ya?" He chuckled darkly, his thumb beginning to circle your sensitive bundle of nerves, damn near about to buckle.
"You're treatin' me enough by letting me play with that pretty pussy on my special day...but if you insist. Come on. Sit on my face and suck my cock, mhm?"
The crudeness and vulgarity leaving Ace's mouth was shocking you. You've heard a dirty joke from Ace once or twice but this was another level.
Regardless, you'd be lying if you didn't say the filth from his mouth wasn't spurring you on.
As he laid back on his bed, helping you shift into the position to ride his face as you sucked him off.
You gasped when you felt Ace's fingers dig into the flesh of your plush thighs with the added sensation of him burying his face between your dripping core.
He kissed and bit the delicate flesh of your inner thighs before he completely plunged his tongue into your cunt to run it along the wet folds.
You immediately whined. He'd just begun but he was so good at it, you felt a shudder down your spine.
Your nails sunk into his toned thighs as you carefully eyed his hardened cock, the tip already oozing white pearls of pre cum and angrily red.
"It looks like it hurts." You thought to yourself but were immediately dragged out of your thoughts as Ace parted your folds with his fingers, making you squeak.
"What happened to wanting to treat me, huh?" He chuckled, words vibrating against your pussy causing you to jolt.
You never even thought of the idea of wanting somebody's dick in your mouth. Yet Ace's looked so enticing.
Slightly tan with a vein running along the underside. He seemed like such a wild person who didn't care about 'maintenance' yet his pubes seemed to be well trimmed.
It was slightly hard to concentrate on what you needed to do, what with Ace slurping and suckling your pussy obnoxiously. He was making you lightheaded and a moaning mess in his grip.
The pad of your thumb brushed against the slit of his tip, smearing the cum around. He hissed and bucked his hips slightly since he was carried away with the relentless assault of his tongue on your core.
"You goddamn minx..." He muttered with a hazy smile.
Your hand wrapped around his length and began to stroke him tauntingly slow, giving kitten licks on his aching tip. He let out a groan, his raven locks plastering onto the sweat on his forehead.
Soon enough, you slowly but surely took Ace's cock in your mouth, swirling your tongue around him as the mixture of saliva and precum coated his dick.
You and Ace were cut from the same cloth you suppose. Both of the oral you were giving each other was sloppy and messy, and you both were struggling to keep your sanity amidst the pleasure.
The Second Division captain's cabin was a cacophony of sinful and desperate moans bouncing off the mahogany panelings and skin slapping.
"Fuck...princess.." Ace gasped out, his breath tickling your sticky and puffy folds. "Don't think I can...handle this much longer. Let's cum together, mhm..?"
You nodded, throat a little raw at Ace accidentally hitting the back of your throat with his tip with the over-enthusiasm of you bobbing your head when you increased your pace.
Soon enough, you simultaneously hit your orgasms, Ace's hot seed oozing in your mouth and your juices squirting on his tongue, he eagerly lapped up the essence causing you to jerk away in hysterics.
"You are so damn...greedy!" You heaved out, breaths shallow after you swallowed and rubbed your throat.
"Can't help myself, princess." Ace remarked with a weary smile as he sat up then crawled over to rest on your chest. "You make me insatiable."
You ruffled his jet-black tresses and kissed his temple as he wrapped his arms around your waist, face nestled into you.
"Hope you enjoyed, birthday boy." You smiled.
"Aw...so you sitting on my face is reserved for birthdays only? Suddenly I wish every day was my birthday." He chuckled, causing you to thump his arm.
The next morning, despite the elaborate plan to leave before dawn before anybody saw you leave Ace's cabin you were caught.
"Here." Thatch said sliding a mug of tea over to you. "Marco says peppermint is good for a sore throat."
That was the last thing Thatch remembered before he was scalded with some of the boiling water sloshed on his hand, the rest of the crew in hysterics.

(Ace x Reader) Do You Regret It?
I’ve been in an Ace kind of mood (I’m always in the mood for a good Ace fic).
Characters: Ace x Reader
Warning: angst. Like too much angst
Word Count: 560
You had known Ace since you were children.  He was always there for you.  You were always there for him.  When he decided to go after Blackbeard, you tried to convince him not to.  “It’s too dangerous,” you said, “what if something bad happens?”  He assured you it wouldn’t.  He promised that once he came back, he’d take you with him to travel with him and Whitebeard.  You and your husband wouldn’t be separated anymore.  He only did it to keep you safe.  You knew that and accepted it.  He did come to visit all the time, but he didn’t want you in the line of fire.  If something happened to you, he would burn the world to the ground, leaving nothing left.  That’s how much he loved you.  Now here you were, on opposite sides of his cell.  When you found out about his imprisonment and execution, you asked Garp to let you see him, just one last time.
“I didn’t want you here.  I didn’t want you to see me like this,” he told you as you sat down close to the cell doors.  It was hard to see in the dimly lit prison, but you could see the tears fall from his eyes.
“I don’t care what you look like Ace.  I just need to see you.  At least one more time before you die.  I wish I could do something, but…” your words were cut off by your whimpers and tears streaming from you e/c eyes.
“Did you regret it?”
“Did I regret what?”
“Did you ever regret loving me?”
“Ace, I fell in love with you the day I met you.  That day was the best day of my life.  I didn’t care that we weren’t in the same place all the time.  I didn’t care about who you were. I knew you loved me then, and I know you love me now.  If I regretted loving you, I’d be long gone.  You are my everything.  I’m going to miss your smile, the way you always seem to fall asleep in your food,” you chuckled a little which caused Ace to chuckle as well.  “I’m going to miss your freckles and I’m going to miss everything about you because I love you Ace.”
He started to cry harder now.  “Don’t feel bad about not being able to save me.  This is what the world wanted.  Maybe in our next lives, we’ll be able to be together for longer than this.  Can you do one thing for me?  Please don’t come to the execution.  I don’t want you to have to go through more pain than you need to.  I love you Y/N.”
The two of you started to blush a little, like you two had every time you two said those words.  For two people who have been together for 7 years, you seemed to act like a couple who was so new to this.  You nodded looking down at the ground.
You started to walk to exit to find Garp, but you stopped and turned to Ace, “I’ll see you in our next lives.  I promise you, I won’t regret loving you in the next life and the one after that.”
You walked out the door.  Ace looked up to the the direction you were last at and whispered, “Thank you for loving me.”
