#story arc

[seraphinitegames]

How much of the remaining 4 books do you have planned out? I'm curious to know considering you've mentioned it's 7 books in total and it seems so massive and lore filled. Absolutely love this series!

All the books have a general plan to them- like what the story is going to be, what point I want the romances to be at, etc.

I find having that whole overarching story plot in place, as well as the individual stories, makes it a bit more cohesive. Each book is supposed to be like an episode in a TV show, and the seven books together make the whole season...if that makes sense, hehe! :D

But very detailed plans I do when I come to write the book, as things have definitely changed and adapted as I've written the books!

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

[the-24-7-lawlu-library]

Hello!

I have a trip in a few days and I need some longfics to help me survive, do you have any recs?

Hello there! I hope we are not too late with answering. Of course we can't leave you alone in this! Here are some recs:

I’d Forgotten How Nice Romance Was, Then You Reminded Me by Living4LifesSake (M)

At forty-four years old, Luffy was content with the way things were. Sure his life hadn't exactly gone like he had originally thought it would, but it was fine. He had a good job, a cute dog, a whole gang of awesome friends, a supportive family; things were great. He was fine with being single. Then, one fateful night, he got sat by a handsome man at a bar. And suddenly, everything changed. A story where Law and Luffy learn that you’re never too old to have a whirlwind romance.

Lead Me Back to Suffering by Purplehairedwonder (M) [non-con, includes Doflamingo/Law]

In the wake of Kaido's fall, Law is kidnapped from the shores of Wano.

Inhuman Potential by Sydneyxface (E) [Blood and Gore]

Dr. Trafalgar Law has seen many wild and surprising things come across his table as a pathologist, but nothing compares to one of his decedents waking from the dead - and thirsty for his blood. And so Law befriends (and beds) a vampire named Luffy and is pulled into the chaos that surrounds him - which involves cracking a case of missing people supposedly being used as slave labor for the elites of the world... the Celestial Dragons. Alternate Universe - Modern day, 2023.

Not a Ball or a Chain by HollowIsTheWorld (T) [AU-Modern]

Trafalgar Law grew up hoping he would be one of the handful of people to never develop a soulmate mark. Now that that hasn't panned out, however, he's willing to settle for just never meeting them. Unfortunately for him, Monkey D. Luffy is a hard person to avoid.

At the End of the Day by Artificial_Starlight (M) [Edit: we corrected the link]

It was such a simple thing to get worked up about, he knew, and maybe it was because he's so removed from normal social interaction that the idea of new friends coming into his life only bothered him. He only needed the three - they gave him enough trouble! They already bugged him enough to hang out, already caused drama that he was dragged into, already teased him about his idiosyncrasies... They already knew about his issues; spent years around his ever changing moods as he tried to be less angry, less scared, less obsessive. They already tried with mixed results to help him sleep, heal, and trust. He didn't need anyone else getting that close. However, as he began to walk away, he couldn't help but believe that not taking Straw-hat's words seriously would be a mistake.

the thing that remains by tciddaemina (M)

He'd had a plan. Destroy the SAD manufacture plant, destroy the SMILE factory... A kidnapping here, a bit of extortion there. Simple, at least by Law's standards. The Straw Hats had been a surprise, but a manageable one. Doflamingo would submit to their demands, sealing his own fate, or they'd destroy the factory and Kaidou would finish the job for them. He'd had a plan. Now Law doesn't know what's going on, but its definitely not the plan.

Boyfriend's Duties by martilla (E)

“Good evening,” Law said calmly. “I am looking for…” he looked down at the medical chart in his hands. “Monkey D. Luffy.” The boy on the bed smiled immediately when he heard his name, a curious and excited look in his eyes. “That’s me!” He shouted out. “Are you the doctor? They said that they were sending a doctor before dinner and I am really hungry, so if you are the doctor this means that I am gonna eat soon!” The two men in the room groaned at that sentence and Law felt taken aback by the enthusiasm of the guy. He was either stupid or not aware of the gravity of his injury, if his only thought was dinner. “Yes, I am the surgeon that will operate on you,” he answered. “My name is Trafalgar Law.” * Law is a surgeon who needs some light in his life. Then Luffy happens.

I want an enemies to lovers to friends arc. But Not like the friends ending is a bittersweet thing or just the "it turns out *okay*" vibe, I want the friends to be the endgame, I want the connection they have while platonically bonded to be the way it is deepest, I want them to feel so deeply cared for and at peace that way. Like the trope of "i have feelings for you-i have feelings for you --that feeling was friendship and neither of them had ever experienced it" but they figure it out and are happier that way.

Like gimme two angry, withdrawn people who end up involved despite hating each other because that's the only way they can understand the connection they sense they have, and then when they're lying awake at night feeling their stomach tying itself in knots they finally call the other one not to be self destructive or for escapism, but because they might have one person who will at least listen to them all the way thru, even if only to fucking gloat and insult how pathetic they are. But they so desperately need to get it out that they're too real and crying, and the person who thus far has had nothing but shit things to say is dead quiet the whole time. Because they understand. They relate.

And then the next time they're at work, there's a thermos of curry on their desk. Neither brings it up bc what if it's too awkward, but the thermos is washed and reappears on the doorstep of its owner. One of them will break into the other's apartment and do their dishes and there isn't even a note left saying to get better security, amateur. And finally one of them takes a hit (emotional or psychological) so bad they just crawl in the window and scare the shit out of the other, and they just sit in a blanket for a night, watching mindless tv and lost in space. They sleep on each other's couches between work. Text constantly. Both of them slowly lose interest in the fucking and are relieved when the feeling is mutual. They spend their nights making food for each other and curled up on the couch.

The Big Bad of the story does the whole evil-plan-is-unfolding thing and everyone is surprised when the hero-coded protagonist half is suddenly screaming in blinding rage when the 'wrapped up with the wrong crowd' ""enemy"" gets the short end of the stick, and the pacing of the story is suddenly all wrong, bc instead of planning one last careful victory, they drop every concern they have about their morality and fucking kill the Big Bad with a baseball bat after chasing them three miles down the mountain road away from the hideout on a shitty bicycle. The story doesn't end with the fight and denouement, it cuts to two figures soaked in blood: one their own, the other that of the Big Bad, and the latter turning to the former and promising it'll be okay, and falling asleep in a chair in their friend's hospital room that they definitely didn't break into to avoid the no visitors rule. Offering a shoulder while edgelord half learns to walk with a cane, remarking how absolutely based they'll look if they lean into it and get a monocle and pocket watch. Everyone else is mystified and that does not matter. They are understood, they are loved, they have what they always needed.

CRAZY LADY! CRAZY LADY!!!! RUN!!!

The air filled up with energy collected into the horn of the unicorn before with a screeching sound bursted into a beam aiming for the two pony who arrived earlier. Mr.K immediately jumped in front of them unfolding his wings turning it into a big shield while Winter and Theo ran away as fast as they could. The interior shook from the power of the attack. Black feathers and mirror pieces flew around the place, but for some reason the magic beam did not his anything else except Kasian's wings, instead of reflecting it endangering the others it looks like those feathery shields are collecting the power and keeping it close to him.

"LET'S SEE HOW LONG WILL YOU HOLD ON TRAITOR" - screamed the unicorn in a voice that could bring nightmares and curses will it, but luckily both Theo and Winter ran away without a scratch.

DEATH

"MY DEATH"

Pan entered the door marked YOUTH.

She met a younger version of Coney and a younger version of herself.

As Coney was playing with Pan (baby/toddler), Pan (adult) said hello to Coney. Coney said hello back.

Then Coney told Pan (adult) that he was drawing - but found a piece of paper with a word he couldn't understand - on the floor.

Pan (adult) read the paper, and as they did, their love ray gun fixed a part of itself.

Pan (adult) thanked Coney for his help - but was interrupted as they were grabbed by the Dolor Goop and brought back to the In-Between.

They found a door marked PICNIC - the next door - reached over, and opened it.

Aquarian – Chapter 2

Silence arrives as those blue eyes observe an almost lifeless Avian. “ Enough, enough I need his help.” Flow through clenched teeth in knowing that the winged male deserves the punishment for deeds. She shoots a gaze up to the skies as the salvation words are spoken. “ Lower celestial, you are beckoned to collect him. Carry him to the coastal Fae.

I think one of my favourite things in writing, or just stories in general, are characters who’s situation has left them hanging off the edge of despair. The only thing stopping them from falling into the broken eggshells of tragedy below is a singular hope, a thread that got caught on the jagged edges of their bitten fingernails, something that has them truly believing that they can make things better.

And I like to watch their handholds crumble, threads break, and See. See if their thread was actually a rope. See if someone’s there to catch them. See if that thread is stronger than it seems… And see if it starts cutting into them as they hang.

I love characters that are borderline insane from the stress. Characters who claw their way towards a better future, despite all they’ve lost, despite all that’s weighing them down, and all that that’s still to come. It inspires me. And it feels cathartic. Like a drink of water in a desert. Because they got back up, beaten and blistered, but standing and walking onwards anyway. And it feels like I can do that. Like I can weep and break like they did, and still stand and walk like they did.

And so I feel a little pressure ease in my soul. Knowing that even if I can’t take it, even if I break, I’ll still hang on. Because I’ve got a thread caught on jagged nails.
