A few weeks later you got an email from another university, sadly not the one you actually wanted to go, but it was about 1 hour drive from Ace and Sabo. You got approved, but couldn’t get excited over it. You didn’t want to sound ungrateful or sad, it was just… Disappointing. But still, it would be better than staying where you are right now.

Sabo was just so happy for you, so he went to your place to celebrate. He bought a small (F/F) cake and a small package wrapped with a (F/C) bow.

ꟷ This is for you. ꟷ he smiled. ꟷ A little present to decorate your room while you’re not living with us yet.

You opened it, excited and curious. It was a framed picture of you, Sabo, Luffy and Ace when you were kids playing dress up or something. You and Sabo were together as always. Him wearing a top hat, you wearing a princess crown and a towel pretending it was a long dress. Luffy was dressed up as a pirate, and Ace was dressed up as a cowboy.

You remember how the other brothers kept teasing you, saying that you and Sabo were prince and princess, and how you two would end up getting married. Being a kid, you just got angry and punched them every time they said that.

It’s ironic how things turned out.

ꟷ That’s so cute, Sabo! ꟷ you said, still looking at the picture and smiling. ꟷ Thank you so much.

ꟷ I got one for my room too. Of course, Ace will be the only one I won’t miss. He’ll annoy me on a daily basis for sure.

A week later it was the day you two would have to say goodbye. It was a Saturday, and he’d leave in the morning, and you’d leave later in the afternoon. It was heartbreaking, to say at least. You hugged each other and tried not to cry.

ꟷ Don’t worry, we’ll visit you next weekend! ꟷ the raven haired boy said, while sitting on the driver’s seat. ꟷ You won’t get rid of us that easily.

ꟷ Yes, and you’ll visit us the weekend after, okay? ꟷ the blonde said, drying your tears.

You nodded, trying to smile.

It wasn’t a goodbye forever, but it was still weird and sad. It was a new routine without them.

Sabo was gonna live with Ace and his two other friends, Marco and Thatch. Meanwhile, you moved in with two girls, Nami and Robin. They seemed cool. The orange haired girl was fun, and a bit obsessed with money, she also seemed to like to travel. The dark haired girl was older, had lots of books and was so polite. She made tea for you, and spoke a few different languages.

On Monday you were nervous about your first day, worried about making friends and meeting new people. Gladly, things went fine. You ended up making some friends and meeting some professors.

When you went back home, the first thing you did was messaging your best friend/crush to hear how his first day was. He also made some friends, most of them were Ace’s friends as well. He also talked about two brothers that go to the same classes as him, one of them acts as if he owned the place and wears weird sunglasses and a pink feathered jacket, and the other was so clumsy he set himself on fire a few times while trying to light a cigarette.

By the end of the week, it became a routine: you’d go home after college, eat, study and then facetime Sabo so you two wouldn’t feel too distant. He spent most of his day looking forward to see your cute face, and hear you complain about whatever classmate and talk about your day.

ꟷ We met our new professor today. ꟷ the blonde said, while walking from the kitchen to his room holding his phone. ꟷ His name is Shanks. He’s badass. He looks a little like a drunk, has a scar and doesn’t have an arm. We tried to find out how he lost it, but apparently, he tells a different story to each person? I guess it’s his secret.

ꟷ He sounds cool. ꟷ you giggled. ꟷ I met my professor Dracule today. He looks so… Mysterious. Oh and he speaks Spanish! And all the girls think he is hot.

ꟷ … And do you? ꟷ you couldn’t notice, but his voice sounded a little jealous.

ꟷ Nah. He’s not my type. ꟷ you took a bite of the pasta you were eating. ꟷ But he is cool. Oh and I met some cool people you’d like to meet! There’s a dude with a green hair called Zoro who sleeps a lot. And there’s Usopp. He tells us the craziest stories! And Sanji who tries to flirt with every girl he sees.

Sabo could hear you talking for hours. It was so cute how you got excited, especially since you were so sad about studying a bit far from him and Ace.

ꟷ And there’s this dog here, we feed him so he’s like our mascot. People named him Chopper. ꟷ you said. ꟷ Do you guys have a dog too?

ꟷ Kinda. There’s this dude, his name is Law. He is a bit quiet, it’s weird. But he’s super smart. He has a dog named Bepo who walks around the campus. I’ll show you a picture tomorrow!

And finally, on Friday night, Ace and Sabo went to visit you.

[silenceofthecookies]

Hey cookie, Congrats on 200 followers dear! This events sounds so cool 🤩 I love surprises so if I'm in for a spot, may I suggest tea prompt Forest Fruits + Sabo from One Piece? Have fun writing for your event love 🥰

Hi Ellie, thank you, I’m glad you like it! ❤ I got a sudden wave of inspiration for this one and I slipped a bit, so it’s a bit longer than planned. This one is set in a modern AU! Enjoy reading, the prompt you picked is marked in bold! 

You and Sabo had been dating for quite a while now. The two of you were in the same class on the final period of Friday. The one moment where nobody was paying attention to what was going on anymore. You had been staring at Sabo a lot during these classes, and you caught him staring at you more than once as well. Despite having rarely talked, the attraction was undeniable. Sabo had been the first to confess and you had confessed in return.

The early stages of dating were awkward. You were both still getting used to each other, getting to know each other, and on top of that, finding out what was appropriate. When you date a friend, you already know their boundaries, things they are ok with and things they are not. Things like subjects, physical touch, public spaces, secrecy,… Figuring this out as you went didn’t go without a few stumbles, but miraculously the two of you made it.

Finally, the two of you were out of the woods. You knew most about each other by now, you knew and respected each other’s boundaries, and together the two of you had fallen into a comfortable routine of dating, that being dinner together every Friday, whether it was at a restaurant or a fast-food joint or eating at your place, and spending some time together during the week, often on breaks between classes. Sometimes Sabo would come over to your place and you’d study together in silence.

That was the thing though: it was always at your house. You lived alone and didn’t have to inform anyone when having him over. Sabo, however, lived with his two brothers, his father and his grandfather. He had told you about them a lot, and the thought of meeting them both excited and scared you. They sounded like a very loving family, but in their own, special, maybe slightly violent way. He had told you about how his grandfather still often hit him over the head when he did something stupid, or how he and his brothers would sometimes get into fights because all of them were so stubborn. You knew from the look in his eyes that he loved them dearly, but the thought worried you a bit.

Today though, you’d have to face them. Of course Sabo’s family knew he was seeing someone, why else would he be gone every Friday night? He tried to keep you away from his family for as long as possible. Meeting your boyfriends family was a big deal, and he didn’t want to make you do that before you were comfortable. His grandfather, however, had decided that they had waited long enough, and that if they didn’t come over soon, and he’d go pick them up himself on Friday after school. Knowing the things his grandfather was capable of, Sabo suggested to have dinner at his place on Friday, with his family. You had agreed, but still were nervous.

You had gone over your appearance three times, practiced saying ‘good evening, sir. Nice to meet you, my name is Y/N’ and had done some breathing exercises. During all classes from that day, you were way too distracted to focus on what the teacher was saying. Sabo noticed your nerves during the final class, the one you had together, and tried to reassure you. The teacher didn’t like him being so focused on you instead of on his class though, and he got a small piece of chalk thrown at him, which he just managed to avoid getting hit by.

After the class had finally ended, Sabo and you walked back to his house together. You were holding hands as you walked, but you felt how sweaty your palms were and wiped them on your clothes several times. Sabo chuckled at your actions, but in reality, you weren’t the only one with sweaty palms. He knew how his family could get, and he really didn’t want you to get caught up in an argument or fight. He really hoped they would behave.

The walk to his home ended all too soon, and it didn’t take long for you to come face to face with his family. His grandfather looked like he could snap someones neck with his pinky finger, his father looked very scary because of the tattoo on his face, and his bothers were oddly cute, just like him, but both of them also looked very strong.

“Ace! I told you to put on a shirt! We have a visitor!” “So what? They can watch, I don’t mind.” Garp hit Ace overhead. “We don’t want to make them uncomfortable! Shirt! Now!”

Ace sighed and went upstairs to get a shirt. Sabo was already burning up at this point. Of course Ace was still walking around shirtless, the idiot. Luffy laughed at what just happened, walked up to you and held out his hand for you to shake.

“Hi! I’m Luffy! Sabo has told me a lot about you. He told me you were very pretty and nice and well, you ARE pretty! I can’t say if you’re nice or not yet though, I’ll let you know after dinner!”

This made both Garp and Dragon laugh loudy, while Sabo turned even redder than before and began to whisper shout at Luffy that he shouldn’t have said that, after which Luffy simply turned to you with a big grin and told you to ‘forget about what he just said’. You too were laughing loudly at this point. Ace came back downstairs, now fully clothed, saw Sabo’s face and started laughing too.

“Sabo, you look like a tomato!” Ace yelled, followed by laughter. “Shut up Ace!” Sabo yelled back. “I don’t like tomato’s! Change it to an apple!” Luffy yelled. “You don’t have to eat it Luffy, it’s just a manner of speech!” Ace yelled. “But tomato’s are yucky!” Luffy answered. “Apples aren’t always red!” Ace yelled back. “Oh, you’re right.” Luffy said, instantly calming down. “Enough! Boys, dinnertable!” Garp bellowed above the noise.

The 3 boys instantly quiet down and ran towards the dinner table, quickly sitting down on their usual seats. You were still staring at all of them, still processing what just happened.

“I’m sorry about that. Please, do sit down with us.” Dragon said, as he gestured to a seat at the table. You nodded, and sat down on the chair he pointed at, which happened to be the one next to Sabo, and across from Garp.

Dinner started out awkward. The food was good, no problems there, but it felt like you were being interrogated. What did you study? Did you have siblings? How long had you known Sabo? The list went on and on. Sabo told them few times to quit it, but they brushed it off, telling him that they wanted to know who he was dating.

Once dessert came on the table though, all questions had been asked, and now the table was filled with cheerful chatter. You had gladly joined them in their chatter, finding their company rather amusing. Sabo was watching you with a smile, relieved that now their questioning was over, you were actually laughing and relaxing a little.

“Hey, Y/N! Do you want to see pictures of Sabo when he was a kid?” Garp suddenly asked. “Don’t do that, gramps! She’ll see how ugly he used to be.” Ace teased with a grin. “Gramps no!” Sabo exclaimed, but Garp had already stood up from his chair and had grabbed a book from a nearby shelf.

Sabo was about to stop Garp, but Ace stepped in and grabbed him from behind so he couldn’t move. Garp opened the book in front of you with a big grin, and started showing you pictures. Sabo stopped resisting with a sigh, admitting defeat. Ace grinned and ruffled his hair, while Luffy excitedly sat down next to you to look at the pictures too. Dragon was watching it all happen with a grin.

“Hey look! Sabo! This is that time at the circus!” Luffy yelled, pointing at a picture. “You mean the time when we spilled that slushie on himself? That’s a good story, maybe we should tell Y/N” Ace grinned. “No!” Sabo yelled. “Yes we should!” Luffy yelled and he turned to you. “You see, we went to a circus, and we all got these slushies. Sabo got a red one, Ace and I got a blue one. Sabo was breaking some ice in his slushie but he was too rough and he poked a hole in the bottom of the cup! So all the slushie fell on his shirt! It was a white shirt, so it stained a lot. He started crying hysterically! But it was just at a moment that the whole circus was quiet, so they shone the spotlight on us to see if there was a problem. When they saw the red stain, they thought it was blood or something and everyone freaked out. It was so funny!”

Sabo looked away, face burning and red. When he did though, he noticed the clock. It was already much later than expected.

“Y/N, it’s getting late. I’ll walk you home.”

After wiping your tears from laughing away, you nodded and thanked everyone for the meal and the nice evening. Dragon told you to come back anytime, and Garp told you you could call him gramps too if you liked. It was a bit weird, but it was a sign that they accepted you. Ace nodded at you when he told you goodbye, and Luffy gave you a big hug, telling you to come over again soon, and that Sabo was right, you were a nice person. Sabo quickly pulled you out of the house and started walking you home.

“That was embarrassing” Sabo said. “You think so? I thought it was cute.” “Yes, that’s the problem, Y/N” Sabo groaned.

You laughed and took his hand, lacing your fingers with his. The rest of the walk home was filled with a comfortable silence, until you reached your house.

“There we go, I hope you at least had some fun?” Sabo asked. “I had a lot of fun. We should do that again sometime, your family is great.” “We’ll… see about that.” Sabo said hesitantly, not wanting his family to embarrass him even more in front of you. You laughed and turned to him, stepping a bit closer.

“Goodnight?” you said with a smile. Sabo smiled as well and closed the distance between your lips, meeting yours in a sweet kiss. “Goodnight” he said as his lips parted from yours.

You stepped back and walked towards your door, unlocking it and waving one last time at Sabo before closing it. You were really hoping you could go back there sometime soon.

One Piece Daemon AU

Presented with only slight spelling corrections and some elaborations, the mess of a One Piece Daemon/His Dark Materials AU that would not leave me alone and would only let me work on it at 1-3AM.

Also now I’m writing snippets for it just like my Gundam Wing and Star Trek daemon AU. Because.

Luffy: sea king with Conqueror Haki so they can’t be controlled. Separated but not because that’s as free as you can get. Fuck yea, she’s in north blue chilling the fuck out (heh) half the time and being absolutely chaotic as shit the other half. Her attitude is diametrically opposed to what Luffy is doing at the time. LOL she runs/swims into Shanks when Luffy’s still barely a pirate so he has no idea (not that the marines do either) one time. This 2000ft tall monster is squinting at him, and he thinks he’s about to get ate and then she goes “oh you’re so much smaller now!” Cause of course she spent her formative years as a baby version of his daemon. The entire crew is goddamn losing it, cause what kind of monster is this that even Red Hair’s Haki can’t control it, until Shanks yells out her name and then everyone loses it further still. I have decided Eastern dragon aesthetic but water/earth theme as opposed to Kaido’s air/fire theme. Still blue, but blue-green, tiger stripes cause camoflage and also badass and maybe she settles after Luffy meets Zoro’s daemon *whistles*

Zoro: tiger obviously normal colors or green and black cause why the fuck not, Zoro is not into stealth really. ”The only one who can call me stupid is me. “ “.....stupid” Cat vs sword fight ensues. Can be found cuddling Chopper when Zoro’s tired, super sloshed, both.

Nami: monkey? Lemur: small, fast, quick hands, caring but only when you prove you deserve it. Absolutely torments Zoro’s when she’s pissed because tigers can’t normally climb fucking main masts but a) she parkours and b) when has that ever stopped Zoro/her? Likes to hang out in the tree grove, absolutely pick pockets people while Nami plays distraction.

Robin: cat some kind of cat not big CARACAL. Looks aloof but absolutely ready to be ridiculous at any opportunity.

Franky: dog or dolphin. Something excitable loyal ready to throw down Newfoundland? Big, friendly, over-excitable, likes water and sailing...yes.

Usopp: Corvid or monkey; curious, intelligent, stubborn, inventive, tool solving/using. Lives in groups/troops and cares for others. Probably corvid, too similar to Nami otherwise. Crow most likely.

Sanji: swan. Black, and absolutely a viper and very sorry about Sanji’s attitude towards woman cause she’s more refined about it. Same intensity though. Will bite the shit out of you. Tiger vs swan fight, GO. Do also groom each other though cause human affectionate displays are stupid sometimes.

Fishmen don’t have daemons its another conflict and excuse for racism.

Law: wolf but like starved and Eurasian crazy with it. LONG leggos. Spiky black fur around the head, grey black white speckled cause T R A U M A

Ace: was a fire hawk, no actual fire but red as hell and BIG tail and wings. Her species not liked on most islands cause they don’t leave once they’re settled. They stand their ground. More angst ha ha. Never met settled Luffys daemon because I’M A MONSTER.

Sabo: never settled until he learned Ace was dead and then she settled as fire hawk because trauma and angst and also he knows who he is now. Not being settled was useful for a while when he did infiltration etc but now they’re both happy/sad about it.

Garp. Big dog. Bull mastiff dog. Not good with kids only with attacking things and defending but very loyal. Also big. “ Bullmastiffs are also difficult even for adults to control, so they aren’t a good choice if your child wants to help walk the dog. They like to please and crave attention, but they’re so big that even a well-intentioned nudge can end up hurting small children. ” HMMMMM RINGS A BELL, THIS DOES

Chopper: also no daemon or if so then monkey because HANDS. OH BOI THAT MUST HAVE BEEN A FUN THING. EAT SOME FRUIT, WAKE UP WITH A SOUL. Wait no people think he’s a pet. No daemon then.

Mihawk: literally whatever Shank’s daemon is he insists this is why they’re friends while Mihawk wine aunts in the background. He’s more refined though than Shanks and his soul (this is not a challenge). Like absolutely cold as ice until he cracks a pun, but no one believes the victim cause no way Mihawk would do that. Soooo proud, regal, loyal but willing to have a good time. Some kind of dog or cat. Big and fast and POWER. Could do big cat to be more like Zoro or a dog/canid to foil it. Maned wolf?

Vivi: it’s lazy to say her bird Caracue I can’t spell it’s one am but imma do it. KAROO HOW THE FUCK DID I MISSPELL THAT.

Crocodile: big fuck off alligator cause fuck you that’s why. HOLY FUCK I FORGOT HE HAD THE BANANA ONES IN HIS CASINO THAT’S GREAT

Logias turn to same element so Ace’s daemon is now a literal actual fire hawk, fuck the history books I’m writing this shit.

Don fuck face Flamingo: is what it is but like Kipo And the Age of Wonderbeasts it got TEETH, cause anything that survived acid water and shit is not cool. In fact, you know what, she’s albino and thinks that makes her special, honey you just don’t got shrimp vitamins, you buffoon of a bird.

All the dino Zoans are modern descendant of those animals so chickens. Or birds. Chickens would be so goddamn funny especially the 3 foot tall fluffy ones...fuck what’re they called(Brahmas). Oh wait. Emus. Ohhhhhhh fuck emus as an option.

Mammoth Zoan can have a Mammoth daemon because I want to see that on a ship.

(Makino) Bartender lady I can’t remember her name starts with m capybara cause she’s chill as shit and friend shaped. 

Dadan: is not friend shaped but is friend. Big fuck off bear or buffalo or wildebeest

Brooke: Laboon, Lampoon whatever Moby Dick. There’s some trauma, they had to leave him, but they didn’t want to and Brooke offered to stay but Laboon thought he’d be fine. Spoiler alert He Is Not. No one is fine.

Ohhhhhhh fuck bad good idea: Rogers daemon also a Sea King but the marines never goddamn figured it out, hoooooo my gods Shanks is having goddamn flashbacks. 

Momo and Kaido both have Eastern dragon daemons cause fake fruit.mythical zoan fruit but Momos is the size of a gecko and black so she’s hide-able. Kaido’s isn’t as big but is still Fuck Off huge. Red because I said so. 

Beastmen also do not have daemons because fuck the amount of significant characters in One Piece

Cora(zon): also had a wolf, because yay trauma and repeats and trauma bonding!But she was like, pretty yellow white and dog-ish up until the moment she ripped your throat out for offending her/harming her pack. Law learned much from her about appearances, being underestimated, and then for the most part did the exact opposite.

Slime man: *Aka Trebol* has a hagfish cause fuck him and Doflamingo

Boa: her snake weapon thing. Big noodley boy. The skull is for A E S T H E T I C

   Ace's daemon named Picaro: Spanish for naughty/badly behaved and that is a synonym for rogue cause MOMMA'S BOI and I keep misreading Rouge as rogue cause PIRATES, and this way it's a little better than naming the fire hawk Red though Ace does call her that sometimes .          You know what, he has the same daemon as Rouge/mom actually cause stubborn enough to not go into labor for 20 months is bonkers and that shit deserves recognition. Also because FUCK the number of characters in One Piece.              Celestial Dragons don't have special daemons but they do splice/separate cause they're fuckers that's why              AU of AU        Luffy's daemon close enough to WRECK MARINEFORD'S SHIT THAT'S RIGHT BABEY ACE LIVES, ASL REUNION AND SUCH          Sabo's daemon settles as a dog but one of the CRAZY breeds, like poodle or husky.

AU OF AU PART TWO: originally when thinking about a One Piece daemon AU Luffy was gonna have a cheetah; long, fast, use recoil to increase speed and change directions, males live in groups with their brothers and are highly affectionate. Tendency to run into walls. Has a fur pattern presentation named King Cheetah, looks like a more Armament Haki version.

It is just an AU and I do not own the game the characters, from both One Piece or Obey Me, nor do I own One Piece in general. It would be cool though…

Sanji’s Pact

Devildom!AU

(pt7/?)

Various Characters X Reader

You were lying awake in bed. Sanji had gone to sleep first saying that it was bad for the skin to stay up late. He advised you to do the same, but being in a strange place made you uneasy and unable to sleep. You texted Kid to see if he was still up. He was already used to the late nights when he was invested in another project of his. Back and forth you went, talking about nothing in particular. Until Ace spoke up from his side of the room. “If you’re gonna stay up at least put your phone on silent.”

“Sorry, Ace. Didn’t mean to disturb you” He hummed in approval as he got out of bed and got into yours. “I can’t sleep either anyway. Who’re you texting?” A brazen move on his part. He had you flustered in bed. Embarrassed by the closeness he was presenting. “K-kid.” He made a small sound going back to his bed to retrieve his phone.

NEW CHAT ROOM WITH KID, ACE, Y/N

ACE: heard you were up. Can’t sleep?

Kid: yea, nothing new

ACE: wanna play a prank on sabo?

KID: hell yea

Y/N: but what would we do?

KID: let’s get a picture of his sleeping face. I bet that could go for a lot of money

ACE: we’ve tried before, but he always catches us.

Y/N: you did?

ACE: yea b4 with Sanji. He wanted a picture because none of us. or well anyone has seen him asleep before

Y/N: that’s hard to believe

KID: it’s true. Last time we tried he hung us upside down for a whole week!

ACE: but this time he won’t expect it because of the retreat…

ACE: I’m in. Wby Y/N?

Y/N: sounds like a bad idea

Y/N: I’m in 👍

KID: great let’s meet by his room in 10

ACE: 👌

Y/N: K

You and Ace left the room as quietly as you could, and made your way to where Sabo’s room should be. Luckily this area of the palace was one of the first you toured before getting deeper into the historical parts of this place. Before you were sucked into the labyrinth.

“What took so long? I said ten minutes.” Kid crossed his arm. He can be impatient at times. “Sorry. We were trying not to wake Sanji, but he kept moving in his sleep.” you both walked up to Kid ready to put your necks on the line. If Sabo found out about what you were doing he’d have a fit. “Let’s just go in,” said Ace from behind you, “be quiet.” He reached for the knob, turning it slowly then pushing on the door. It looked so meticulous it was almost laughable. All three of you stepped into the dark room, closing the door behind you. You could have thought you all went blind if it wasn’t for the frail light the weak moon gave off. It didn’t show anything in the room, it was just a pale glow in the dark of the ink surrounding it. “Where’s the bed? How are we gonna get the picture if there’s no light?” Kid whispered to you. Like hell you know. You were just wondering the same thing. “Kid, stop breathing down my neck.” Ace shoved you to the side to get away from the other male. “I’m not.” There was another hot gust of wind that passed between the three of you. There was no way it was Kid this time. There was something big behind you. Its eyes glowed red, much higher than you thought this room could hold. It must be bigger than the ones they lent you guys for the night. It menacing stare followed every move you made. He could see you in the swallowing darkness of the room. This wasn’t good. You had to get out. “GO BACK!” Ace shouted, racing to the door himself.

“What was that?” you blinked letting your eyes adjust to your new sight. “I think it was Chopper, Sabo’s pet and one of the monsters that guard the nine circles.”

“What was he doing in there?”

“Like I would know.”

“Where are we…?” The walls were familiar… Were you back in the labyrinth? “Sabo must have charmed the door, we’re underground again.” There was a rustling from behind you. “Does that mean we’re back with…Nola…” Already knowing what was behind you, all three of you ran. You needed to buy yourself time to think of a plan. What can you do? Nami! She lent you some of her power. “Stop! I know what to do. Nami lent me some of her power earlier, I can summon the one she has a pact with. Sanji will charm the snake and we’ll get out.” turning the corner you let the serpent rush by in a close call. You had little time to call on the demon before Nola circled around you and killed all of you. “Sanji, come to me….please.”

“Real convincing.”

“You try summoning someone when you never had powers in your life.”

“Don’t you remember how Nami did it.”

“He was already with us then!”

In a burst of smoke, he appeared. Stopping Ace and you from continuing to argue. “Who summons me this late at night? You better have a good excuse- Oh hello, sweet-cheeks. I thought you were my master. How’d you summ-”

“No time! Charm the snake!” You needed to say the spell Nami had chanted before to create a link between the both of you, but you didn’t think you would need it so you didn’t bother to remember it. “I don’t know the spell Nami used, just transform!” You yelled at Sanji, hoping that by some miracle you could actually get it to work. “Do you actually think th-” A burst of power interrupted Ace’s rant. It had a more overpowering feeling to it. The power you pulled of him was stronger than what Nami was able to take out. Sanji moaned, reveling in the power you gave him. He hasn’t felt so much power in such a long time. “Baby doll, we’re having fun after this,” Sanji stated before flying off to find the serpent’s head. “Like hell you are.” Kid pulled you into himself, not wanting Sanji to get his grubby hands on you. “Protective of your master, are we?” Ace’s teasing tone set off Kid. Yelling that it was nothing like that and that he would never have feelings for a weak human, much less one who held a pact with him. Has he had bad encounters with other people that have pacts with him?

Sanji came back, Nola following close by. He scooped you up, giving you a ride tot he top of Nola. “Come on, we don’t have all night!” Kid was furious. How dare he touch you. It was just the pact he had with you that made him act this way. He wasn’t jealous nor did he care for how you seemed to blush when Sanji placed you between his legs to ‘make sure you didn’t fall off’. Kid was just cranky because his plan didn’t go as planned and he couldn’t make bank on a picture of his brother sleeping. That’s all!

Back in your room, Kid refused to leave. He wasn’t gonna leave you alone with that guy! He was already giving you bedroom eyes! “Y/n look into my eyes.” He ordered and you obliged. Why would you do that, you dumb-ass. “Y/N, don’t!”

Nothing happened… Was something supposed to happen? “That’s strange. Once you looked into my eyes you should have fallen under my spell. “ Sanji scooted closer in your bed, Lips barely touching your ear, “All mine. Let’s try again.” Was that really his plan? “Get off my bed. Let me sleep.” Ace threw a pillow at you two from his bed. “Shut up I’m trying to sleep. I was chased by a snake twice today!”

“Newsflash, everyone did.” Kid crawled onto your bed from the other side, effectively trapping you from each side. “I’m not leaving if you’re gonna be staying in the same room as him.” Sanji awed at his brother’s cuteness, “I wanted our first time to be by ourselves, but how can I resist such an adorable display!” Sanji cooed at Kid while a blush blossomed on his face, “Shut up! We’re not doing anything like that!”

“Maybe not, but I do want something to come out of tonight,” He gently grabbed your face, turning you to look at him. His hands were warm on your skin, fitting so nicely on the curve of your jaw. Eyes locking with yours, complete seriousness befalling his lustrous gaze. It was intimate. “I want you to make a pact with me.” 

“O-okay…” Sanji chuckled at your tongue-tied speech. Who could blame you, though. You hadn’t expected this. You’d jumped through botched hoops to make pacts with the other brothers. Most of the time it wasn’t the best circumstances that made them want to do it either. You’d plundered in their affairs and reaped more than you’ve sowed. for him to just asked you, it was miraculous. “I-i don’t know what to say. T-thank you.”

Kid huffed at your keenness to make the pact. Wrapping a protective arm around your waist he pulled you down to lay next to him. He didn’t like that you kept making pacts with his brothers, but he couldn’t stop you. He wasn’t your - well anything, other than a demon you made a pact with. It was common for witches to have many pacts with different demons, though it bothered him nonetheless. Probably just as much as having Sanji settled down with the both of you, burying his head underneath your chin. It’ll be a long night, at least for him. He had to keep Sanji’s grubby hands off of you after all.

Yeppity.

Ace:

➤His first question was “Does shedding your skin hurt you?” 

➤Tbh until meeting them he’d never heard of a selkie so s/o had a lot of explaining to do, not that they particularly minded.  By the time he knows s/o’s history and what exactly a selkie is he thinks it’s pretty amazing. 

➤Gets worried when they swim alongside the ship because while they’re strong they’re still taking the form of a seal and he’s not sure how they’d fair as a seal against a sea king. 

➤Basically he freaks out anytime he just sees them jump off the ship with their seal skin.  The rest of the crew loves it, while they worry too they also thinks it’s watching Ace argue with a seal.  Obviously they know it’s s/o but it’s still funny. 

➤The world government doesn’t know s/o is a selkie so they sneak up alongside government ships and ease drop to get information.  This is when Ace worries the most but he’d never try to stop them.  He knows a lot of s/o’s history revolves around humans stealing their skin so they cant return to the water and he would never do that. 

➤As protective as he is he knows when to give s/o space and stop being overbearing.  Yeah he’ll yell down at them to be careful of sea kings but he also knows when to let them go-after all they know the water better than he does. 

Sabo: 

➤When he first saw them transform from a seal into a human he was in complete awe.  He’s read about a lot of supernatural creatures so he knows what he just saw but like, he never actually expected to see a selkie-actually he really wasn’t even sure if they were real. 

➤(pre) s/o catches him staring and freaks out and goes straight back into the water because a lot of history revolving around selkies includes humans stealing their skin and forcing them into a relationship and (pre) s/o ain’t risking that. 

➤He’s got some time to spare on this island so he keeps going back to the secluded beach in the hopes he’ll get to see them transform again.  Nope, he just gets to stare at a seal who stares right back at him from the water. 

➤Let’s just say it takes a long time for the two to actually interact, and even when they do their relationship is slow to start.  Sabo understands though and he’s fine with that. 

➤He ignores all the weird looks he gets for talking to a seal. 

➤When he says it’s time for him to leave the island s/o impulsively sheds their skin before asking him why he can’t stay longer. Poor boy gets so embarrassed when this happens because s/o is stark naked right in front of them.  He really didn’t expect them to shift again. 

➤He explains everything to them and they’re somewhat sad because they’ve been enjoying their conversations-well, they’ve been enjoying listening ot him talk so they follow his ship.  When he realizes he freaks out, “Do you know how dangerous it is right now! Marines are firing cannons at us non stop and you’re in the water that’s so-get on board oh my god!” 

➤S/o just states they’d miss him so they decided to follow him. 

➤The two really don’t realize they’ve entered a relationship for quite some time because they just chalked it up as being fascinated by each other and enjoying each others time.  They only come to terms with the fact they’re in a relationship when somebody points it out to them. 

➤On a side note he only ever touches their seal skin when given permission because it’s oddly soft and like..he doesn’t get how it’s so soft.  If s/o let’s him he’ll use it as a blanket with no shame.  

➤At first s/o was very weary of his fascination with their skin however overtime they just accepted that this is how he is.  Weird.  He’s weird.  

Luffy:

➤Bless this dumb boy. It takes him so long to realize s/o isn’t just a mermaid.  S/o doesn’t really mind the confusion, actually they think it’s kind of flattering in a cute dumb kind of way but..Sanji-while he loves s/o like he loves all other women, he hates when Luffy compares them, as a seal, to a mermaid. 

➤Luffy probably did something heroic like steal their skin back form somebody who stole it from s/o and s/o was sure he’d keep it after but he gave it right back to them saying he didn’t have any use for it unless it(not like he even understood what it was at the time but still)

➤Luffy is the one person s/o will trust with their skin because s/o knows he’d never use it to keep them from returning to the sea.  

➤He loves when s/o swims alongside them.  He doesn’t care how dangerous it is he thinks it’s fun. He will try fishing for his s/o though from time to time much to s/o’s annoyance.  Like, they’re chilling alongside the boat when it’s anchored and he just throws down a hook with some fish on it saying he brought them a treat.  Yeah they wanna eat it but they’re not gonna. 

➤On several occasions he’s tried to turn into a seal by using their skin and on several occasions he’s almost drowned because of this.  “Idiot you’re a fruit user even if it could turn you into a seal you’d still drown!” “You don’t know that!” “I do!”

➤He doesn’t understand much about how it works but he really doesn’t question it either.  Really he just thinks its cool and that’s all that matters.  

➤Tells s/o they have to find a way to get real giant so they can pull the ship. S/o has to explain to him that they’re never going to get that big unless they find somebody who can turn them into a giant-which would create a whole new set of problems. 

➤He loves his s/o regardless of what what form they’re taking.  Bet on him pulling his seal form s/o into a hug and giving them a big ol smooch.  No matter.

would you mind 68. (awkward hug) for Marco&Sabo or 26. (a kiss on the temple) for Makino & Luffy?

SO ive been trying to think of one for the first request since I got this and ONLY JUST realized it says Marco n Sabo, not Sabo and Ace like i thought it did bc im a dumbass who doesn’t know how to read SO LIKE THAT ONES COMING i already have a little fic fragment i was working on the other day that’ll work for it but ayooo have some temple kisses (n forehead kissed) from Makino and Luffy

-

“The locals say that the hurricane on the next island lets up once a year for a week and that the log pose only takes a day to set.” Nami entered the library where everyone was gathered with a sigh. “And that window’s not for another five months.”“So what’ll we do in the meantime?” Franky kicked back in his chair.“We could take a damn vacation for once where we’re not trying to escape being eaten for two years straight.” Sanji grumbled.Zoro snorted. “If anyone here was in danger of being eaten, it was me. You were just on crossdresser island.” He dismissed.Sanji looked pained. “They wanted to eat me one way or another.”Robin and Jinbe laughed. “You’re too cute not to eat.” Robin comforted, sending Sanji into spinning delight. They all looked at Luffy, one at a time. He was thinking, face screwed up. “We should go back and visit everyone!” He finally cheered. “We can start at my hometown and then work our way back here! It didn’t take us that long to get here the first time, if you don’t count all the butt-kicking we did on the way here! Right Nami?”She was already scribbling in her notebook. “With Sunny’s speed, travel time will be reduced, letting us spend more time at everyone’s islands. So Foosha village, Syrup town, Cocoyashi village, and the Baratie back in the East Blue, then we can hit Reverse Mountain before we hit Drum island. If we have time between Drum and Water 7, we can stop by Alabasta and Skypea. We can also probably spend some time in Sabaody before we head down to Fishman island. Do we need to stop by anywhere else? I can work on a timetable tonight.”“I’d like to stop by one of the revolutionary bases.” Robin chimes in. “It’s in East Blue, so it’s not very far out of our way.”“I’ll pencil it in if you can get me exact coordinates.” Nami agreed. “We should visit Hammock too!” Luffy added. “But we gotta visit Foosha first! And make sure Shanks isn’t there!”“You got it, your majesty.” She grinned.Luffy tipped his head back and laughed. “Let’s set sail then!”-“So this is where you grew up?” Chopper asked as they approached the calm looking island.“Yup! That’s Goa kingdom over there, they’re total assholes! Then over that way is Foosha! Brook! Further south!” He called. After a moment, the Sunny tilted slightly to their new course.“And this is where Dragon brought you?” Robin asked.“Nah, he gave me to Gramps. Gramps brought me and Ace here when we were little to live with the mountain bandits.”“Mountain bandits, Marines, Pirates, and Revolutionaries… You know everyone!” Chopper marveled.Luffy looked surprised as he processed but then laughed. “I guess I do! I’d never thought about that before!”“Don’t forget bounty hunters.” Zoro joined them at the rail. “Only the fun ones!” Luffy threw himself at Zoro, utterly confident that Zoro would catch him.Zoro didn’t disappoint, catching him with one hand and offering him one of Sanji’s smoothies with the other. “If you wanted one, you could ask.” He pointed out.Luffy grinned. “That’s not as much fun.”They landed shortly and disembarked, Luffy leading the way up through the village, pointing out “That’s where Shanks and I used to fish!” or “One time I beat up a tiger over there!” before they reached the tavern.“Are you even old enough to be in here?” Jinbe asked, concerned.“I’m 19.” Luffy pouted up at him. There was a gasp from behind the bar before a woman was rushing around it. “Luffy! Is that really you!”Luffy’s face lit up. “Makino!” He grabbed her in a monster hug, wrapping his arms around her several times over before spinning her. “I missed you!”“Luffy, I can’t believe you’re here, back on Foosha, after everything!” She beamed back. “We came to visit!” Luffy released her to turn and introduce his crew, chattering away.Makino seemed genuinely enthused to meet everyone, Robin reflected. People like that were rare in this world, she’d found. She was glad Luffy had her.Once word got around that Luffy was in town, the bar was packed and he was surrounded by well-wishers. The rest of the crew was surrounded by their share of fans as well, everyone wanting to know about them or asking them for more stories about Luffy. They ended up staying the rest of the day and well into the night, the pub throwing a huge party for them. Around nine o’clock, a huge red-haired woman burst into the building, yelling.Zoro had his hand on his swords in a heartbeat, and up on the impromptu stage, Robin had her hands crossed. She dashed across the room to try to deliver a flying kick at Luffy but he ducked under her leg with a grin and an excited laugh, wrapping her up in much the same way he’d hugged Makino. She struggled and kicked and yelled but she looked secretly pleased around the corners of her eyes and at the twist of her mouth. Makino and the Major were laughing at the spectacle like they’d seen it before, so Zoro and Robin and the rest of them stepped down.The party died down around two or three in the morning. Brook was up on the stage playing a quiet melody on the piano. Dadan and Jinbe were drinking by the fireplace. Zoro was leaning up against Jinbe and snoring while Robin was sitting on the other half of the piano bench with Brook. Nami was drinking against Sanji and Usopp, while simultaneously teaching Chopper the proper way to take a shot. Franky was elbow deep in the stove, making improvements after his seventh bottle of Soda. Luffy was sitting on the bar, talking to Makino, just as energetic and excited as he had been earlier. Makino looked a little frazzled around the edges, but equally happy.“We’ve got your poster here, see? I was going to show you earlier, but then everyone got here and wanted to talk.” Makino gestured to the wall where a blown up copy of his poster was hung with care.“So cool! Can I sign it?” Luffy bounced on the counter.“Of course!” She handed him a marker. “We have Shanks’ too, but we made yours bigger because we love you more.” She winked.Luffy grinned widely, jumping off the counter. “Well duh! I’m gonna be king of the pirates and he’s just an emperor!” Makino laughed. “You’ve been saying that all these years, and now you might actually make it.” She watched him scrawl his loopy signature across the bottom of his photo. She giggled when he added a scrunched sketch of his Jolly Roger. “Of course I will.” Luffy replied when he was done, having been biting his tongue in concentration. Makino cupped his face gently, smoothing back his bangs to look at his face.Luffy stood still and let her examine his entire face in the yellowed lighting of the bar.“You’ve gotten so old.” Makino murmured. “I can’t believe one of my boys is the pirate king.” She shook her head with misty eyes before pressing a kiss to his forehead.Luffy slung an arm around her neck with a softer smile. “I’m not the pirate king yet, Makino! Don’t tell me you’re getting sea-bile in your old age!”“Senile.” She corrected with a laugh. “Huh, that makes more sense, huh?” Luffy rubbed at his chin. After another hour or so, they left to go sleep on the ship. Jinbe was carrying a snoring Zoro like one would carry a baby, and Franky was carrying Sanji slung over one shoulder, Robin perched on his other shoulder.“Let’s put them in the same bed together, bro! It’ll be super funny!” Luffy could hear Franky laughing with Jinbe. Nami laughed with him, carrying a tipsy Chopper. Robin was laughing as well. Usopp was laughing and avoiding Brook’s grabs to try to carry him back to the ship as well.“You just want to see my panties!” Usopp was cackling.Brook groaned. “You never use the hamper! I don’t want to see them!”Makino laughed at the antics of her patrons and Luffy grinned at the sight. “We’ll be back tomorrow.” He informed her. “I’ll probably take them up to Dadan’s tomorrow though!”Makino giggled. “Dadan is asleep in my bed right now, give her ‘til about noon at least.”“Oh, okay! We’ll probably have a late night anyway!” Luffy slid off the counter. He noticed that he was finally taller than Makino, now that she’d taken off her tall shoes. He wrapped his arms around her in one last hug for the night and pressed a kiss to her temple. “But either way, see you tomorrow!” He stretched out an arm to grab Usopp by the back of his overalls and yanked him over. “Want a piggyback?” He asked brightly.“Luffy’s the best captain!” Usopp declared. “Free piggybacks for life!” He screamed to the ceiling.Makino laughed out of her moment of surprise. “I’ll see you boys tomorrow then!” She waved and watched Luffy lead a mad dash down towards the docks. That boy never did anything slowly, she reflected as the rest of the crew broke into a run to follow, laughing all the way. She was glad he’d found people to run with him.

Commissions! || Ko-fi!

ace as a runaway god

he’s basically just a teenager who Does Not Know what he’s meant to be doin in his immortal life and w o w he’s super bored and also his dad is an asshole to humans? lol?​ ace does not agree? don’t be a dick dad

sO BASICALLY HE POOFS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AS A “HEY DAD IMA GO LIVE W/ HUMANS BC I WANT TO HAVE A BETTER WAY TO SAY FUCK YOU”. Roger is UPSET and torn bc he’s like oh! I remember this stage of my life! Wanting to find myself! Burning shit! Exploring! Stealing things! but then he’s also like [godly scream] “WHERE IS MY SON”

Also Ace is a dumbas bc he doesn’t tell his mom and so she’s actually on Roger’s side and is like no i do not support my runaway son he hasn’t sent us a single letter im very mad at this young man. He could’ve at least said goodbye before disappearing w/o a word!!!

Chasing Twisters by Delta Rey is a Good Time for this AU (especially the first lines; ‘I was born / with lightning in my heels / set a spur upon my ankle / put a horse under the steel’ )

Anyway! Ace ends up travelling a lot and bein a dork and accidentally outing himself as godly all the time omfg. He’ll fly up to pick fruit and fall out of shit and get stabbed and be fine and then get confused when people freak out???? It’s hysterical

ANYWAY he figures out how to (relatively) pass as human ///after like so many errors omfg and ends up running into Marco!! Who travels from town to town doin magic and offering his protection and trying to chase down an old god / some other myths just because he’s a curious fucker

Ace STILL fucks up being human it’s a GOOD TIME, LIKE!!! They’re campin somewhere, idk, near a mountain pass???? huge rocks everywhere???? and Ace keeps picking up rocks and throwing them everywhere like they’re nothing and Marco’s like “uhhhh isnt like. That huge stone monument heavy????”

-ace, holding it w/ one hand over his head and cursing as he tries to find where his hat has gone-  "uH YES. HAHA. WOW. YEAH. ITS EXHAUSTING. CANT HOLD THIS FOR LONG!!!!“ ///drops it awkwardly with a thundering crash

Basically what I’m saying is Marco totally knows he’s at least a demigod / blessed by the gods but is so unperturbed by this bc he’s a demigod too? (Ace being an actual god is another story entirely.)

a n y w a y they go through a town where a friend of marco’s called Sabo lives and Ace gets along w/ him super well and they have a lot of common interests and Marco moves on to the next few towns by this. like. mountain thing that encloses it??? so it’s  a dead end basically??? and ace stays and gets to know sab better

whispers Sabo’s Totally Flirting with / flustered around Marco but marco doesn’t notice s h i t

Anyway Marco comes back and is like yeah I usually stay here for the winter bc the passes freeze over so badly??? And Ace knows he should go and that he could easily find his way, the cold has never bothered him, but he-

he stays

(they’re fascinating, and they’re clever, and they’re kind, and Ace finds himself drawn to Marco’s easy grins and Sabo’s quick, clever tongue just as easily as he’s drawn to a flame). They turn from “heyyyy humans are so Interesting” into “These Humans are so interesting” into “these are my friends and they’re so interesting and Have Interests that  I love hearing them talk abt”

ACE STARTS GETTING SUPER FLUSTERED AND NERVOUS AROUND THEM AND ACCIDENTALLY USING HIS POWERS AND FORGETTING WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE DO. AND THEN TRYING TO COVER IT UP LIIKE “WOAH SURE WAS A COINCIDENCE THAT ALL THESE CANDLES IGNITED AT ONCE HAHAHAH”

Marco ends up just patting sab’s shoulder and leaning down to whispers that he thinks ace’s old place didn’t take to kindly to demigods and sabo’s like ooooohhh and they NEVER BRING IT UP

Ace eventually!!!!!!! asks them on a date!!!!!!!!! and theyre like weren’t we already doing that????????? and Ace is like what. no. uu taking me ice skating and me taking u to a frozen waterfall that i unfroze for the two of your bc Marco Looked Sad are totally not dates!

Fuck ace goes a minute later. Sabo bursts out laughing bc he’s thinks it’s h i l a r i o u s and even Marco’s having to hold back a grin and Ace buries his face in his hands and is like why didn’t you TELL ME and sabo laughs even harder

Proper date!!! With ace giving them flowers !!! that he flew to idk persephone’s garden to get or smth and trying to Look his Best and marco and sabo are like. hearts melting awww gosh he’s just Trying So Hard they think it’s adorable they’re dying

BUT LOL ANYWAY WHILE THEY’RE ON THEIR DATE ROGER ENDS UP FINDING ACE BC ACE HAS BEEN IN ONE PLACE FOR SO LONG

AND SUMMONS THE THREE OF THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR DATE

AND ACE IS LIKE FUCK SERIOUSLY???????? W O R S T TIMING

also: “if i jumped off this god-summons cloud would u two get mad???”

“UM YES???” goes sabo, “dont leave us alone to face your boss!! you asshole!!!”

B o sss//// ace says, wheeze-laugh-dying, and Sabo’s like that’s Not making me Feel Better

“Lol so like……….I know this is breaking the only rule of first dates……..but like. Hey. Guys. Meet uh…My family lol”

[Marco, internally dying as he stares up at the towering figures that are Obviously trying to tower just for the kicks but haha doin a Good Job]

Sabo and Marco, slowly processing their boyfriend is n o t in fact a demigod, but rather an ACTUAL FUCKING GOD

WHAT THE FUCK ACE is Sabo’s first thought

that explains the rock thing is Marco’s first thought, followed by how the FUCK did i not see this coming

Roger who’s trying to glare at ace for running away and leaving, like NO!!!! NO!!! NOTE!!! THIS IS NOT POLITE BEHAVIOUR, SON!!!!

but then also DATES??????????? D A T E S ???? HIS LIL BOY IS D A T I N G??? HE’S ONLY LIKE 200 YEARS OLD HE SHOULD NOT BE DATING THATS ONLY LIKE 20 IN HUMAN YEARS

Roger who’s trying to look sternly @ ace and also threaten sabo/marco at the same time

Rouge standing in the background like “ace im going to kill you how dare you not say goodbye to me” except like the vague aura is directed at everyone (Mainly ace but like. Everyone knows she’s Super Annoyed)

Look Ace if you’d Just Said Goodbye, everything would have been Fine. Your mom’s Cool.

You didn’t say goodbye

or send her a single letter telling her how you were

she’s not that cool

Roger basically Dismissing Marco/Sabo and Ace gets super pissy and starts y e l l i n g at roger and then bc it’s like. realm of the gods ala mt Olympus or w/e the surroundings start to echo the mood and Ace is quite literally spitting fire and is shifting more and more into his less human form???? So a lot Taller and glowing, wispy eyes, and parts of him encased in flames, flames trapped and visible beneath his skin and Sabo reaches for Marco’s hand because he’s never seen Ace this angry and look he’s only human, he’s been exposed to a lot and he’s pretty brave, but Ace is-

upset. he doesn’t want to see Ace upset, because it hurts something in his own chest, and he can tell by Marco’s tight grip on his hand that Marco feels the same way

But then they almost get hurt in the backlash of Ace / Roger’s argument, and Marco yells at them to stop and Ace gets snapped back to himself rather than just the anger he is in god form, and almost immediately shrinks, and Roger gets SUPER mad bc he thinks they’ve been manipulating ace???????/ and trying to make him smaller than he is????? trying to make him human, and Roger views humans the same way one might view a stray, mangy pet; pityable, and a bit cute and fun to play with, but not-

not worth much.

“This is what humans are! They’re cowards and liars and thieves! And these two are trying to-”

“Make me fucking happy!?” Ace yells back, but he stays small and stands in front of his friends and refuses to go to his dad’s level because he’d gotten better. He wasn’t so angry and useless and bored and entertaining himself by hurting people, he was-

(Humans are worth just as much as gods. they sacrifice themselves for nothing more than it is right and kindness, when they know they won’t come back, when they know people won’t remember them, or know their names, or think of them again. Humans don’t ask to be worshipped, or praised, humans just- are.)

(And these two? These two, the way roger had spit out who they were like that could encapsulate who they were-)

Roger puts her hand on Roger’s shoulder just as Ace turns his back on his father and whispers carefully to sabo and asks if he’s okay and runs his fingers over Marco’s hand and assures himself that theyre okay and apologises for what happened and asks them to forgive him for hiding the truth and Ace being interested in something again, not looking lifeless and hollow and bored, and how ace had been arguing to protect them rather than just arguing because he was so uselessly angry-

Ace turning around again to glare at his father and snapping his fingers and dropping them back on earth and staggering to the side bc he didnt usually do that and Marco immediately helps steady him and they just

talk softly into the early hours of the morning and ace presses careful kisses to their cheekbones and lips and hands like he’s the one worshipping them, their callouses and scars and birthmarks, the way their bodies have changed over the years in ways that his never will, because he can change how he appears

There’s peace, for a week, a peace of careful exchanges as they slowly grow comfortable with this new knowledge - ace knowing that they know, marco and sabo coming to terms with the fact that ace could be terrifying (but he’d never scared them. he’d never, ever tried to scare them)

Then Rouge shows up. Obviously a goddess in human form, obviously perfect, obviously gentle and kind and smiling, and presses a kiss to Ace’s cheek and then one to Sabo’s and then one to Marco’s, and she smells like flowers and summer and home, like warmth and love and she’s so- perfect

Ace is cautious, because his mother can be worse than his father (he loves her more, afterall, she’s his mom and she has always been the one to protect him, with a fury that he never wants to be on the receiving end of). She smiles at him and tells him that as long as he’s happy she’s fine but that a letter or two wouldn’t have gone amiss and basically invites herself in to have tea / lunch and makes ace tell her about all his adventures and he starts off carefully and faltering because he still thinks it’s some plan of his father’s, but she laughs at all the right moments and asks questions and is just

his mom. She’s his mom and she loves the fuck out of him-

and he’s happy. Any fool could see that, and no fool would take him away from that

She bids them goodbye at sunset, promising to come back later if invited, and Ace says that he’ll try, and then rouge asks him to grab her shawl from inside and shoos him off to get it and looks at Sabo and Marco and her eyes soften and that almost makes it worse when she says, “you won’t hurt him, would you?” because to answer yes would be to disappoint her

Then Marco shakes his head and glares at her and goes we won’t. But not because we’re afraid of you, but because we don’t want to hurt him. First and foremost he’s our friend.

Rouge smiles, properly this time, with teeth and laughter and it sounds a bit threatening but they can tell she’s amused. “I’m so glad he found you.”

She kisses them both on the cheek and is gone before Ace comes out with empty hands, and they’re left to explain what happened before she left (Ace sighs and apologises, and Sabo laughs and says he’d never expected to deal with gods in his daily life).

Random members of ace’s family show up sometimes. Rouge declared it a Thing. They just. give the mas fam stuff. Tree that blooms all year round. Tiny plants / terrariums that are accurate details of places they know, right down to the tiny - living - animals. glass panes that show the weather in the future and mirrors that put together what you want to wear and have it folded up on the bench when you come back.

They don’t realise they’re still younger than everyone else until they realise just how old everyone else is. They don’t realise that gifts from the gods are sometimes ones you can’t see. They don’t realise, but by the point they do there is nothing to contest; they don’t want to leave Ace, and Ace doesn’t want to leave them. It helps that, for all the years they were living in the city/town no-one had become super c l o s e to them.  

They get known as the weird magicians at the end of the road, and kids get dared to knock on their door and ask for stuff. Sometimes ace opens it with part of his eye on fire and sometimes marco answers it with dough on his face and laughter from behind him and strange things in the kitchen and sometimes Sabo answers it but keeps the door half closed and as you walk home you can swear there’s something by your side.

(“What do you get when you mix home and something free?” Rouge asks one day, before they’re really comfortable around each other, tapping her teaspoon against the side of her cup, ankles crossed and poise perfect, and Sabo makes a curious noise in the back of his throat.

“What?”

Rouge smiles mischievously. “You already know him.”)

a Thing that I tried to write as the Start that would’ve been Fun: (from an alt!idea where Ace was literally on the run from angry gods for having stolen something ala prometheus and sabo/marco are gods/demigods sent to get it back but Whoops they’re In Love now).

Ace had run away from a lot of things in his life.

He’d been doing it his entire life, after all.

(He just really hadn’t expected to add “fleeing from angry gods” to his list of skills.)
