Summary
Ace has issues. Shanks can see right through him. [Now with a sequel!]
“Sometimes,” Shanks starts slowly, those eyes of his boring into Ace’s, “fucking's as simple as that, fucking. But every so often, you meet a certain type of person. The ones who'll drink up every little affection you give them ‘til they’re so cock-drunk they can’t imagine being anywhere but underneath you, and you haven't even fucked 'em yet. You savour those ones.” His head tilts, spilling red hair across his fierce gaze, and he smiles, all teeth. “Ones like you, little flame.”

Summary
One otherwise innocuous day in January, Akagami no Shanks wakes up with a soulmark that has no business existing. It's, quite literally, a physical impossibility. Try telling Portgas D. Ace that; He'd most assuredly tell you he didn't exactly want to be born either.

Summary
It’s an old wives’ tale. A sailor’s superstition. The sort of thing that isn’t taken seriously and that no one really believes, except no one disbelieves it, either.
A respawned Fruit, they say, remembers the body before. It retains an echo of its former user.
Sabo didn’t put much stock in those stories, because there was no reliable way to study the phenomenon without a significant amount of murder, and also because it didn’t really apply to him besides. He had a million other things on his mind, an army to babysit, and no plans of becoming a Fruit user in the first place.
The universe sure loves to laugh at him.

Summary
Sunshine, Ace calls out once, not knowing he was going to say it until he did. Sabo blinked, taken by surprise. He turned to look at his twin, curiosity clear on his face along with a complete lack of confusion that was telling.
They both knew who he meant. Luffy knew it, too, and came running the way he always came running when one of his brothers called his name. There were leaves in his hair and scraggly flowering weeds crammed in his pockets and—always—a big smile on his face, bright and beaming.

Summary
He’s not close enough. He’s not going to make it. Even if he managed to shake off the soldiers in front of him and just threw his whole body at full-speed between Luffy and Akainu to take the blow, he wouldn’t get there fast enough. He doesn’t have enough time. He’s going to lose another brother, only this time it’s going to happen right in front of his eyes, from seven—five—three feet away.
He’s ten years old again and learning what grief is. He’s ten years old and all that’s left of Sabo is the letter in his hand and a shared dream and the promise that Ace will look after their silly baby brother while he’s gone.
“DON’T TOUCH HIM!” Ace screams. It’s pure desperation. It’s the last human thing he’ll ever say if Luffy dies here.
