Ok maybe I’m just not looking in the right places but I have not been able to find a fic where Law stays under the effect of the calm-calm fruit after Cora’s death, and I just think that’s a right shame, it’s such a cool concept! And yes obviously I know it wouldn’t work in canon, both because it didn’t and because of the whole “you pass out and everything you’ve ever done with your fruit is undone” (which I personally think is ridiculous but Oda will be Oda), but when have we ever cared what’s canon and what’s not? It’s fanfiction! That’s the whole dang point! If it was canon we wouldn’t need to write it ;) Back on topic, I just think it’d be really interesting, add another layer or five of angst on top of Law’s already nightmarish life, no one living but the Donquixote family has ever heard his voice, if we go with flevance having its own accent or even language it means the knowledge of his people’s words was lost even though he’s still alive, if he at some point had kids they wouldn’t have the flevance accent, they wouldn’t even know what it sounded like! And there might even be a hint of comfort in the sea of bitterness, because Cora lied to him, died for him, took his voice from him in death, and yet that silence will always remain with him, Cora will always remain with him. And I imagine there have been several times in his life that silence has saved him, a last parting gift, masking his footsteps, hiding his sharp breaths, keeping him safe when he was being hunted. I’m sure there have also been plenty of moments it’s nearly gotten him killed, just imagine if he fell in the ocean, wouldn’t be able to scream, wouldn’t even be able to splash to make noise with the charm affecting his active sounds, or if he was locked somewhere, can’t call for help, can’t bang on the walls. It must have been a curse more than anything, but in those few moments it was a life saving blessing… I just think it’s such a fun concept, and am disappointed no one has written it :(
