Summary
Thatch always said he would die for his family, and he meant it. But he never thought it would happen like this, in the silence of his own kitchen. As the light fades, the Commander of the Fourth Division looks back on the laughter, the mischief, and the bonds that made the Moby Dick a home.
Because even in death, Thatch is—and always will be—a big brother first.

Summary
Fire does not fear water...it fears the emptiness of solitude.
At Marineford, Portgas D. Ace was saved. But the price of that freedom was paid with his little brother’s blood. As the world holds its breath after the end of the war, Ace is forcibly brought back aboard the Moby Dick. Physically, he survived. Mentally, he already died on the ice, his hands stained with Luffy’s blood. Haunted by the ghosts of his past and crushed by survivor’s guilt, Ace discovers that it is impossible to live in a world where the sun no longer rises.

Summary
Ace expected to die at the hands of Whitebeard. Instead, he finds himself stuck aboard the Moby Dick, “kidnapped” by a crew that stubbornly insists on calling him “brother.” Determined to escape and reunite with the Spades, Ace isolates himself and rejects this pirate family he doesn’t understand.
And besides, if this family is so close-knit, why did their mysterious First Commander vanish on the very day Ace arrived, abandoning his post and leaving Thatch and Izou on edge?
When he finally reappears after two months of unexplained absence, this Marco is nothing like the fearsome great pirate Ace was told about. He is calm. Strangely forgiving. And above all, his eyes carry the weight of an unfathomable grief and a crushing melancholy that Ace cannot explain.
Between his explosive anger, the appearance of an amnesiac revolutionary who awakens the ghosts of his past, and those unbearable blue flames that seem determined to heal his deepest wounds, Ace will have to face a terrifying reality: what if he were finally allowed to live?
The fic is finished and I’m posting it as I reread/edit it (a few chapters per day). (working on epilogue's request)

Summary
For Marco, the future is nothing but a vast graveyard where his brothers and friends lie at rest. After becoming the last survivor of a decimated crew, he receives the final blow from Shanks, his last friend at the center of the world. But death is only a passage: Marco awakens in the past, at the exact moment Whitebeard reaches out his hand to Ace.
Determined not to let history repeat itself, he exiles himself to hunt down the darkness before it can awaken. From the G-14 base to impossible reunions, this is the story of the two months during which Marco defied time so that the embers of his family might finally refuse to die.
