Summary
“What was he like when you were younger?” Jinbe asks, looking strangely intent as he stares at Ace. Ace stares back at him for a moment, before leaning his head back against the cell wall and smiling. Memories of him, Luffy, and Sabo running through the forest flash before his eyes, and nostalgia fills him. The months that the three of them spent together are Ace’s most treasured memories.
He grins, shaking his head and chuckling as he says, “Well, I guess if I’m going to talk about him as a kid, I should talk about my twin first.”
(Or: Ace calls Sabo his twin while in Impel Down and consequences happen.)

Summary
They take a step into the forest, and it’s like coming home. Ace takes a deep breath in, the scent of the trees surrounding them still familiar even after six years away. Luffy giggles and slips his hand into Ace’s. He mirrors the motion with Sabo, swinging their arms back and forth, and for a moment Ace is ten again, with his brothers as his whole world.
Ace glances over at Sabo- his brother is looking around the forest like he’s a little kid again, and Ace feels his smile soften. Sabo meets his eyes for a split-second, and there’s a suspicious shine to his eyes that Ace elects to not tease him about, just this once. “Welcome home,” Ace says instead. Luffy laughs brightly. Sabo blinks one, two, three times, and smiles, heartbreakingly sincere.
“I’m home,” Sabo says.
“We’ve gotta go to the treehouse!” Luffy exclaims immediately after, and starts pulling them forward. Ace and Sabo share a look, laugh, and indulge him.
