Summary
The Shirohige Caretakers are a family founded company for home health aids and caretakers. They help anyone they can. In comes two brothers who want to help their big brother learn to be taken care of, instead of always doing the care taking. In other words, Marco and Thatch begin to take care of a blind pouty fire cracker. (In short, I wanted to write a story where Ace gets taken care of, pampered and spoiled.)

A Simple Morning (With You) by Chaotic_Mikariin for ceo_of_deuce
Fandoms: One Piece (Anime & Manga)
08 Jul 2023
Tags
Summary
[A Request!] When Deuce woke that morning, he was pressed between two walking heaters, one with their face pressed into his chest, snoring as quietly as he could with his face in someone else's chest and the other’s nose pressed into the crook of his neck, soft breaths tickling him gently.
The blue haired man gave a small sigh of contentment as he hugged Ace around the waist tighter, the freckled man snuggling a bit closer.
[Or a simple morning with Deuce and his two husbands.]

Our Lovely Husband (Takes Care of Us) by Chaotic_Mikariin for Ariel_Lazarus, nyasce
Fandoms: One Piece (Anime & Manga)
10 Jul 2023
Tags
Summary
[A Request!]
Ace pouted as he made the bed, his head filled with thoughts of his husbands. He knew that as doctors their jobs were important, but he often worried about their health…even the other nurses and doctors were getting more concerned as well.
Deuce and Marco had been taking as many hours as they could, even going over the allowed hours, meaning Ace had barely seen either of his husbands…which made him feel lonely and slightly abandoned and that made him feel terrible.
“But something has to be done and they can’t go on like this forever…” He clenched his hands into the pillow that he was fluffing.
An idea came to his head and guiltily he considered it, before the guilt vanished and he decided to go through with it. His husbands needed a break and their caring, impulsive house husband was going to make sure they were going to get it.
Even if it was playing dirty.
With that in mind, the freckled young adult quickly finished the rest of his daily chores before making his way out the door. He had a few stores to get to before messaging the loves of his life.

Summary
Portgas D. Ace had always grown up being the one with the most bandages on. On his first day of high school, he’d shown up with his face covered in scratches and an ace bandage wrap on his elbow, which had broken the weekend prior.
His nickname became Catacetrophe. Instead of a catastrophe, he was a Catacetrophe.
He didn't think anyone would want to date a walking disaster of course, so he never went looking for it.
Newgate Marco had always felt alone, which was funny, considering he had fifteen siblings and a loving father. He didn’t feel alone in the family department, it was the romance department he was lacking in. Marco didn’t think he’d ever really find someone who’d be willing to put up with his job hours, but he also knew that he wouldn’t be able to stop his heart when it decided to fall.
What happens when they collide?

Summary
[A Request!] “Good morning, welcome to Cafe Raftiel,” The barista greeted, voice cheerful, but not in the fake way he was used to from some places where they did it for the tips. The other sounded genuinely happy to be there. “How can I help you?”
Thatch blinked and looked down at the barista, brain kick starting instantly at the person before him. Black messy hair brushing his shoulders, big gray eyes and a youthful face with freckles sprinkled all over, adding to the young look the other had.
⸻
The coffee was good and the food was delicious, but there was one other reason he often went to this particular spot, since it was a bit out of the way of the hospital he worked at…“Welcome to Cafe Raftiel!” A familiar voice called out and Marco’s smile grew bigger at the cheerful sound. “Oh! Marco, hey!” Ace beamed his way and the blond swore the grin healed his tired soul a bit. “Your usual?”
[Marco and Thatch accidentally ask the same barista out, who agrees to both and find out the problem with not fact checking with each other afterwards.]

Summary
[A Request!] A day in with all three of them was hard to come by, especially when one of them was a surgeon and the other a very famous chef, leaving the third to miss the time they had together.
But, today was that day.
Ace blinked, a small yawn escaping him as he sat up, silver eyes blinking sleepily at the sunlight filtering through the window warmly. WIth a small grin, the freckled young man stood up from where he was pressed against a warm broad chest and towards the bathroom to get ready for the day, before making his way to the kitchen.
He had a plan to make their day off together perfect and amazing, besides all good lazy days started with an amazing breakfast.
[A simple and fluffy day in with our favorite MAT threesome.]

Summary
Day 02: Yearn/Yank
When Marco had first gotten together with Ace, he noticed things that often made him wonder about the previous boyfriends the freckled young man had as partners. If he raised his voice at times, even if it was only to talk to the other from a large distance, Ace usually tensed up or flinched from the noise, before relaxing.
It concerned him, but he never pressed the issues, wanting Ace to approach him on his own.
But there were things that they couldn’t control, which was often in their life.

Summary
Day 07: AU/Free Day
Marco slowly opened his eyes and smiled softly at the sight of his boyfriend of four years still lying next to him, dead to the world as drool and soft snores escaped him. The younger man’s thick black hair was especially fuzzy in the morning, most likely from the other’s habit of trying to bury himself into all the pillows, blankets and Marco’s own chest during the night.
Not that the blond was complaining, he thought it was precious how his lover slept and treasured waking up to him everyday, without fail.
“You’re doing it again,” A sleep-laden voice chuckled and Marco blinked to see half lidded gray eyes staring back at him. “I keep telling you, even if you think it’s normal, it’s totally not normal to watch someone while they sleep. Especially your boyfriend.”
“Would it be more normal to watch my fiance or husband, since I love to see their faces so much?” He threw out in retaliation, smirking when the other furrowed his brow. “Because if so, please marry me, yoi.”

A Little Love in Mystery by Chaotic_Mikariin for PlasticccDollzzz, Ariel_Lazarus

Summary
[A Request!] “First, let’s introduce ourselves,” The brunette stood and held out a hand. “I’m Officer Thatch and this is my partner, Detective Marco.” Ace tentatively shook the proffered hand.
“We’re here to discuss the recent string of murders and attacks, yoi.” Oh, the cute tic was back and Ace’s focus was instantly drawn to Marco once more. “We have reason to believe that you might be next and in grave danger and would like to offer you some comfort and guards.”
Ace blinked, the words processing in his head. “I’m sorry?”
“We have reason to believe that you might be next and we believe it would be best for you to have some guards from the police be around.” Thatch repeated, taking a long sip from his tea, placing the cup back down. “Just as a safety precaution.” (Please read ending Author's Note)

Summary
It was faint, phantom like, but the words were loud and clear. “I’ve finally found you, my Ignis.”
The room spun again and Ace clung onto Marco to stabilize himself. His boyfriend held onto his waist as everything turned fuzzy on the edges. “Who…?” His eyes flickered around the room before they landed on a lone figure, wispy and a startling blue. “Huh?”

Summary
Marco knew a young man who lived across from his apartment. The younger man was shorter than him, had sun kissed skin and freckles scattered across his skin like stardust with deep carmine eyes, face framed by wavy chin length dark hair.
The doctor saw him almost every day, but never approached, until one day he saw the other sitting on a park bench, tears streaming down his face.

MarAce Countdown to Thanksgiving (2k23) by Chaotic_Mikariin
Fandoms: One Piece (Anime & Manga)
23 Nov 2023
Tags
Summary
A collection of MarAce drabbles set in the modern universe until the countdown to Thanksgiving. Some prompts will relate to the others, some will be standalones.
Chapter 01 Summary: Ace knew that he wasn’t exactly the brightest bulb in the box, but even he knew that it was a bit too early in the year for the sight before him. “So, uh, is he like this every November?” The freckled young man asked from his position cuddled against the older blond.
Marco groaned into his hand, his other wrapped around the other’s shoulder, rubbing small circles into it. Ace basically purred, leaning into the touch more and almost forgetting about Thatch for a moment, until the red dressed man walked back, happily humming. With a groan of exasperation, the dark haired male sat back up. “Oh, for the love of the sea, Thatch, why are you dressed like Santa?”

Summary
A collection of MarAce drabbles set in the modern universe until the countdown to Christmas from prompts I found on Tumblr. Some prompts will relate to the others, some will be standalones.
Chapter 01 Summary: “Oh! What are you doing for the holidays, Ace?” Thatch asked not even five minutes into their resumed pace. “You work a lot to pay for your younger brothers’ schooling and stuff, right? Does that mean you’re going to be with them for the holidays?”
“Not too sure,” He admitted after a moment's pause as they came to the fork where they would split off. “I’ll see you around.” The freckled young man turned and pecked Marco on the lips, the blond humming as he did so, before turning and waving at Thatch, before he left.

“So, do you still agree with this beneficial relationship with no strings attached?” His voice was serious as his blue eyes met carmine. “Now knowing that I can and will push you to your limits, yoi?”
A small moment passed and Marco almost thought Ace was going to retract his offer, but the younger pressed his lips into a firm line, shoulders squared slightly as he tilted his head up to meet the older man’s eyes. “Yes. I want to continue this with you.”

Flowers for the One I Love by Chaotic_Mikariin for Lerya
Fandoms: One Piece (Anime & Manga)
14 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
Ace loved flowers.
It was a reminder of his mother, who used to run a little flower shop before her passing called ‘Hibiscus Rouge’. When she passed from an illness, the shop closed due to low income and Ace had to stick with growing his own flowers at his home, which turned out to be quite a lot.
So Marco made it a point to spoil Ace rotten with flowers, enjoying the reaction he received every time as if he was watching a masterpiece unfold before his eyes.

With that, the blond left, a smile on his face as he made his way to his car. Placing his lunch and briefcase in the passenger side of the car, he got in and began to start it up, his mind trying to figure out how he ended up in this situation.
He truly loved Ace, but there was a secret he was holding and that secret could have him losing everything he worked so hard to have in this life.

Summary
Law snorted, the sound coming off close to disinterest. “Why? So a fake gentleman like yourself can come in and sweep me off my feet?”
“Well, I wouldn’t put it in so many words, my lady.” Sabo leaned closer and Law felt her breath hitch at the proximity. “Bunnies like yourself are prey, you know?”
Turning to look away, face burning red, Law huffed. “Whatever. I’m going to run more tables. Finish those drinks before I come back, got it?” The short haired young woman began to stomp away, pointedly ignoring Sabo’s laughter behind her.
