16, 17, 21, and 27!

Hullo! Huzzah! Another moot asked for 21 and 21 only, so I'll just answer 16, 17 and 27 for this one <3 and link to 21 when done. 16. fic(s) you completed this year : Ooh! Short list for me, so fun: January: look how thy brethren fare (2,117 words) (fixit chapter 1081, Law and the Hearts) February: Brontë's Ring (7,768 words) (Bit of a cheat, cos' two chapters from a longer piece. Law & the core Hearts, canon adjacent. Mind the tags). July: soot-filled sky (3,168 words), Law & BB, and 1081 again; written for the OP hue zine. Comes with gorgeous art from @ayuventi July: The following four pieces were written for the News Coo One Piece Tarot Zine (also free). 1. Witches Float on Water (High Priestess) (546 words) (Shakky) 2. Fallowing (Four of Swords) (1,101 words) (LawZo, art by ayuventi also) 3. Collisional Breakup Mode (Queen of Wands) (925 words) (Nefertari D. Lili & Imu) 4. The Cleaved Sea (Ten of Swords) (609 words) (Nico Robin). August: Intinction (837 words) (Trafalgar Law thinking things). Your output (Nehs) has been insane this year. Mine is nowhere near!

17. fics you’ll continue next year None, at the moment. I think I've written for OP what I can write. Who knows, maybe I'll dust down Law and Robin, or Law and Zoro and see what happens. Or there's always the Heart Pirates Week! I've got a Secret Santa fic in the works, but nothing else bubbling away! 🥘 Never say never. 27. favorite fanfic author of the year. Ahahaha! One of these trick questions! I read great stuff from @nehswritesstuffs 🥰, but also, @badninken (Little Hearts), @ninhaoma-ya, @meatpanic (under ossicle on AO3), @crowbarsolo (I think they published this year!), @ursa-arrowbreaker (LawZo), @calysto1395 (LawZo), @maikusakabe's Inherited Will series, the One Piece Fan Letter Series of stories, the OP Huezine stories, Sroloc_Elbisivni (for antagonistic behavior mitigation procedures) [<-has a ton of great stories, but I need to find the time to read 10K+ one shots]. There was a great LawSan vampire long shot too, with a quick side serving of CoraZoro, and a cast of well-written thousands. I really liked it, but can't recall who wrote it. I should bookmark it. Anyway, of course there are a ton of others I've missed.

If anyone would like to play, the questions are here . 7 & 13, 14, 16, 17 21, 27, are answered.

14 for the fanfic end of the year ask? 👁👁

How are you, my friend? Have not had a chat for such a long time. Hope you're doing well <3 and that the jjba fandom is treating you well (and life).

14. a fic you didn’t expect to write Ahh, since they've mostly been for zines, etc. I expected to write them all. I guess maybe look how thy brethren fare (2,117 words) (1081 fixit), cos' even though I'd had the idea for some time, I wrote it pretty quickly, so it wasn't deliberated. And it needed a lot of editing from me after publication as a result! As always. Same might be said for Intinction (837 words) (Trafalgar Law contemplates his relationship with communion bread ). My upcoming fics for the Beast Pirates zine, the Baltigo Manifesto and for this year's secret santa all feature characters I don't usually write, but only the last one will see publication in 2025, I think. Thanks for the ask!

If anyone would like to play, the questions are here 7 & 13, 14, 16, 17 21, 27, are answered.

7&13 for the fanfic asks

Also hi!

Hello! Long time, no chat! Hope you're doing well. 7. longest completed fic finished this year: I've mostly been writing for zines and ficlets, so all my stuff has been one shots. Anyhoo: it would be soot-filled sky at 3,168 words. Written for the beautiful OP Hue zine (link to Google Drive with free downloads). Law contemplates everything as the sooty hue of Blackbeard's yama-yama no mi (devil fruit) invades. Also, Brontë's Ring came in at 7,768 words (two chapters), but they're chapters from a full work that was finished a few years ago. Mind the tags on that one.

13. favorite writing song/artist/album of this year

I usually don't listen to music while I write, but if I do, it's something instrumental or low-fi with no lyrics, or not easily discernible lyrics. For example, the soundtrack to Last Temptation of Christ, or Mozart's Requiem, or the Cure's Disintegration, Mogwai, Ali Farka Toure. Also, haven't written much this year! Thanks for the ask.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤

OKAY! This was the 3rd one I got, and I thought of making it non-anon when I sent this out to other writers so that it didn't kinda circulate amongst the same circles continuously, but eh!

I'm a lot less tired than I was when I answered number 2, and here's a link to number 1, so

I've got a lot of fics, and I'm gonna do my next fave 5, because it's very hard to decide on faves. And @flyiing-giraffe left a fantastic review on

Taxi, which is very dear to my heart. It's meant to be AceLaw, but it's missing a chapter, and that was the most AceLaw part, but it's still there (the ship). The main idea is that Law drives a taxi and he meets people, and those people are your One Piece faves. Modern AU: summary:

Doflamingo's dementia, Ace's narcolepsy, Cora's death. Law collects vinyl with warps and scratches, and drives a taxi.

Chapters can mostly be read stand alone, and I wouldn't call it a ship fic.

Rated T, 14,392 words.

2. the tibia, the fibula, the regions in between

ZoLaw on the submarine, on the way to Wano. Rated a very soft M, I think, originally T.

Zoro and Law explore the unconformities of personal geography. Practice, distraction, quiet and unquiet minds.

This one is a ship fic on a ship.

3. softening the fall of snow

Law and Chopper in Wano talking about Jolly Rogers and Courage (prompt from @afterdeck-ace)

4. Father Figure

Smoker and Law having that conversation in Punk Hazard! Platonic. The father figure ain't Smoker. (G5 regarded Vergo as a father figure. Law did not).

5. Macrobiotics and Marathons

"Do you always cook like that? Flying scalpels, stabbing daggers, projectiles of fire...?" "Disrespected cabbages," the teacher yelled out, trying to get her body parts together, reordered. "We don't always disrespect the cabbage," Marco said.

Only for the summary. The first story still makes me laugh. The second story is just a bit throwaway!

Law and Marco try out a macrobiotics cooking class. Modern AU-ish

MarLaw

Special shoutout to a ton of others. It's really hard to choose. If anyone has a particular theme, or type of writing of mine they'd like me to pinpoint some stories for, drop me an ask! My works.

AO3 wrapped!: 9, 19, 29, please!

Thank you!

9. Favorite pairing you wrote for this year? I'd love to say it's my initial favourite of Marco/Law and I have been reading a great fanfic about them, but my writing for them was also drabbles/ficlets, and not so well developed, so I'll say LawZo, although that's a WIP and will be in the LawZo zine out next year. I had fun writing the (very) irregular limerick for LawBin for the polls this year, AND there is KidLaw in the works, AND, I tightened it this year, but didn't write it this year, but reuploaded a chapter to an AceLaw fic

Guess my answer is all of them. Also, plenty of platonic Trafalgar Law & the Heart Pirates. One Cora & Law fic for the Corazine too.

19. What’s one pairing you want to explore next year?

Maybe get some LawBin on paper. I've written it romantically a few times, but more often platonically, but usually in longfic. Wouldn't mind getting a one shot or two out.

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year? My current fave is in a WIP for the LawZo zine, so I can't share it for a while, so take the following from Bioluminescent Hearts. Not amazing, but I quite like the imagery. Spoilers for chapter 1081 (manga spoilers)

Orange and white striped tentacles rippled past Hakugan—the head of a sea anemone flexing its bright body backwards and forwards through the water. There was so much water, and the pressure. He couldn’t tell if he was cold, if he was uncomfortable. He tried to shake the vegetation from his hands, but to even budge a finger took effort.

Thank you for the ask!

Questions 9, 19, 29 (I like the symmetry) answered! Also 6, 16 and 22. 1, 10 & 27 about to be answered. You can find the asks here!

I see a lot of people saying that doflamingo would eventually get out of jail for the final war or join the cross guild or just cuz crocodile did 

But it would really make me mad if he did ? Oda made a whole drama about law having to wait 13 years and to end what cora couldn’t  and he almost died doing it 

i see no point of him coming back but im sure if oda wanted him he will make up a point

But What do you think?

Ah, I'm in two minds about this. If I dive deeply into the angst and what Law is worth, then yes, Doflamingo should stay behind bars. I thought the other day that a final reflection of how Law is not the same as Doflamingo is that he didn't kill him (although he tried, dammit! Haha). Part of growth in One Piece is being strong enough to face your (potential) adversaries too though, maybe?

Shanks vs Kaidou, Garp vs Roger (or Rocks?), Big Mom vs Kaidou, Whitebeard vs Oden, etc. Law and Kid just took down Big Mom, and Law fortunately escaped Blackbeard. Maybe he's strong enough to face Doflamingo now, but also maybe he doesn't want to (and maybe he's not).

Doflamingo still has a role to play, given his prison cameos, his pithy quotes, and the seraphim! He's often acted as the One Piece chorus in a Greek drama sense. I also like batshit crazy Doflamingo from a humorous perspective (like, following that other thread looping through One Piece), so part of me would like to see the chaos that he & the Cross Guild could try an make, especially given Doflamingo's words with Croc at Marineford, and the way the shichibukai were far from sane.

For him to get a government release would be some seriously evil shit. But for him to somehow escape would make things interesting. Oda redeemed Buggy, and Croc to a degree. So I don't see him beyond having a role for Doflamingo to play in the future. Sorry, nonny, I'd love to see him come back into the fray, but also definitely do not want a replay of Dressrosa or the events (Including 13 years before) leading up to it. If he's totally redeemed though, I'd be disappointed, but Oda can usually pull off semi-redemptions.

I haven't thought it through 100%, so my thoughts aren't set in stone!

They had the Tang for 11 years actually (wolf gave it to them when law was 15, he is 26 post-ts).... No, I'm not crying... Definitely not mourning...

Ah, I thought he was 16 with the growth spurt and everything. Well, yeah. Such a pretty vessel (with its fierce DEATH emblazoned on the side 😁). Testament to Oda's art work that he viscerally has us mourning the lovely yellow tub (such an anomaly for anyone who wrote a fic/ drew some pics and did some submarine research). Law being a bit older than the other main supernovas has a chance to build up that history (Merry's demise hurt too though. And I didn't know much about Victoria Punk, but oof. So saying, the Polar Tang is (was) my favourite).

Thanks for the ask!
