☆Restoration☆

-------------------------------------------------------

King The Wildfire x gn! Reader,

-------------------------------------------------------

💥~☆ Hehe, birthday week is over, time to lock in. Graduation went very well and it was fun, I ate an entire one of those mini chocolate tesco traybake cakes, fuck, what a good bit of scran~

-------------------------------------------------------

Taglist: @betw33nthesheets, enjoy pookie~☆

-------------------------------------------------------

- To say that you were simultaneously fascinated and frustrated to all hell whenever you drew king was an understatement,

- Had you ever seen lunarian wings before? No, did they look close enough to Shandalorian and Skypiean wings? Yes, but they werent, so now here you were, staring at King as he moves around Onigashima,

- Honestly, the Tobi Roppo are starting to get concerned with the focused gaze that you have on King's back, they werent sure if their boss actually knew what you were doing, practically burning eyes into the back of King's head,

- He knew of course, anyone with eyes and observation haki could tell they were being watched, and curiosity mixed with quiet amusement was starting to increase further each day,

- First you had sat by his armour for hours, then asked him to draw out his devil fruit from memory of when he had eaten the zoan,

- King doesnt pry though, he may be curious but your clearly working hard on something, something that no doubt youd show him,

- It was ridiculous, your entire relationship had started in the most ridiculous way,

- You had been one of the lower ranks in the beast pirates, newly recruited from a seige on Wano where you had actually managed to put up a good fight, so Kaido had accepted you into his ranks, especially after you'd just dropped a bottle of sake infront of the yonko,

- Since then, well, some courtship ritual that seemed silly to others but made Albers heart warmer than the flames that flickered between his wings,

- It was like when a really small bird started to present mating gifts to a much much larger one, ridiculous, but very fucking effective when done right,

- It had started with small gifts at first:

- Making sure that reports from the Tobi Roppo and the Headliners were ordered by date. The ones that were older then a month were discarded as it was old intelligence, you added small sticky notes with abbreviations from what was said by those that typically prattled on constantly,

(*cough cough* Looking at you Page one and Ulti *cough cough*),

- Finding small pieces of amber because it reminded you of the flames that surrounded the battlefield whenever he faught... He still has it in his quarters.

- Slipping him small Begonia petals during the meeting that Kaido had with Big Mom as small warnings,

- And bit by bit, you had managed to worm your way into his heart with small acts of care and thoughtfulness.

- Your comrades would give you side glances whenever King actually praised you after a mission, Black Maria would grin behind her fan as she would share a side glance with Who's Who,

- What King didnt know is that you had, by pure chance and some fucking miracle, found an old lunarian tablet, one that had distinctive streaks of old drawings that had been painted, it wasnt in the best shape, but it could be restored with a bit of stone and some old black ash mixed into wet clay to paint it. The wano sun would help to dry it,

- So after you worked and completed your missions, you would sit for hours, carefully restoring the old drawings and the stone tablet itself until it was finished,

- On the back, you had added a drawing of Albers pterodactyl form in the centre, with the lunarians devil fruit right next to it,

- You wait for King to come back to his room, you had picked the lock on his door, and well, your sire the only reason why you haven't been thrown out the window is because of your masterful courtship rituals,

- What you dont expect is for Alber to immediatley freeze as soon as he sees the tablet in your hands,

"Is that....how did you find that?"

Comes the breathless reply from Alber, his hands moving up to his mask in order to unclip it...to actually take off his mask, you never thought youd see him without it, not that thats a problem, not at all.

Kings hands are... shaking, the hands that have slaughtered many for his captain and terrorised islands, the hands that smell of burnt leather and ash and old blood, the hands that are so so careful as he gently picks up the tablet from your hands.

"I uhh, found it, a few weeks ago. I knew that you dont really talk about your people, and I hope that ive been really careful in preserving their words and my mimicry of their drawings is accurate....i just-"

You start to ramble, trying to backpedal just incase you had actually fucked up and King thought you had desecrated the old clay tablet from the now extinct Lunarian tribes.

Should you have kept it as it was? Did you fuck up? Was it some sort of rule that tablets were never supposed to be painted over in lunarian tradition?

"Y/n."

King, no... Alber speaks as he gently places the clay tablet on his pillow, making sure that it was secure and wouldnt slip, he didnt want to damage the work you had done.

"Thank you...You-"

Alber struggles for a minute, cutting himself off as he tries to think of how to say it, before one of his large black wings spreads out to its full length before it curls around you. The feathers practically radiate heat...acting like small hot water bottles on your skin as he pulls you into his arms.

"Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me, truly..."

Alber leans down and rests his forehead against yours, the flames between his wings starting to ramp up from barely contained emotion.

"To see a part of my history, my people, restored? It means so much to me. You have done well"

You let out a breath of relief that you haven't fucked up and close your eyes.

"Thank god."

"Is this why I have been hearing you cursing in your quarters for the past few weeks?"

Okay, you hadnt been swearing that much...maybe you had honestly, the amount of times that you practiced the lines of the ways that lunarians used to draw their wings on pieces of paper because your hands shook from nerves due to how important this was.

"...perhaps"

"Hmph...It was worth whatever frustrations you had, ill have to find a place to keep this secure"

"Right, yeah... good idea, I dont think it can stay on your bed forever"

"No...but you can"

...Smooth.

Real smooth.

Fucker.

☆Flowers Pt. 7☆

-------------------------------------------------------

Characters Included - Franky, Nico Robin, Soul King Brook and First Son Of The Sea Jinbe,

X gn! Reader,

-------------------------------------------------------

💥~☆ Hehe, been quite a bit since I last posted, sorry for that! :3 ive been quite busy with sorting my graduation which is happening on the 7th of July!! Which is also the same day as my birthday! 🎂 >:3 I really enjoyed researching for this one and I hope you guys enjoy!!

-------------------------------------------------------

|| Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 || Part 5 || Previous || Current || Next ||

-------------------------------------------------------

Franky:

Alstromeria (Peruvian Lily).

“I’d suggest getting them flowers if you truly wish to propose Franky”

Comes the clipped voice of Iceburg, he’d seen the look in his brothers eyes, ever since Franky had quietly travelled back to Water Seven during the two year time gap. Iceburg had been endlessly amused at how much the once criminal warlord of Water Seven had gushed about the strawhats, but especially you.

“Flowers? Man, what do i even get them? I dont wanna get them some small flowers. They deserve something massive, especially after all this time apart."

Franky groans as he leans back in the chair. He rubs his chin, trying to come up with ideas.

"Why dont you ask Mozu and Kiwi? Im sure that they would love to see how youve been doing"

Iceburg says, gently patting Tyranasorus, who perches its head out from his shirts pocket, as he shifts his gaze to Franky.

Franky just slams his hands on the desk, one of the table legs cracking and Paulie immediatley sighs as he quickly shoots out the ropes to try and stabilise the desk.

"Of course! Why didnt I think of that. Thanks bro!"

And with that, the blue haired shipwright was out the door.

"Do you really think their gonna help him?"

Paulie asks as he keeps the desk leg secure, Iceburg leans down and starts to use a screwdriver in order to connect the screw into the table leg in order to connect the desk together again. Franky breaking his desk accidentally was nothing new, he had done it many times, which is why Iceburg constantly kept a screwdriver and packet of screws on him.

"Of course they will. But not without tormenting him to find out who their 'big boss' is tripping over his feet for"

...

Mozu and Kiwi and Zambai all absolutley hound Franky for a good hour trying to figure out everything about you before they decide to actually give him any advice on which flowers to give you.

And well, it seems like Franky doesn't even need to be told, he can feel it as soon as he sees those flowers in that vase by the bar. Those ones, he has to get those ones for you.

And well, Franky turns up sheepishly at the reunion with a bouquet of flowers.

"HEY!"

He shouts to you before one of the small cybernetic hands comes out from his main metal fist and carefully gives you the peruvian lillies.

"I saw these, thought youd like them. They look super cool huh?"

The lillies were a mix of pink, yellow and orange.

Alstromeria (Peruvian Lily) symbolise devotion, mutual support and the unique shape of their leaves growing upside down twist out from the stem. This formation of their growth symbolises the twists and turns of enduring bonds in the closest of relationships.

Yellow peruvian lilies represent joy, happiness and positive energy.

Orange peruvian lillies represents energy, passion and vitality.

And finally, pink peruvian lillies represent romance, affection and gentle love.

-------------------------------------------------------

Nico Robin:

Yarrow.

Robin had quietly taken to gardening a specific flower, she had found some seeds that had been sold at the markets in Dressrosa, flowers that had once surrounded the island of Ohara before it had been burnt to ash in the buster call.

Many Oharan scholars there had grown the flowers as a sign of respecting the knowledge that many chose to chase and the mystery that continued to surround the void century and what was truly going on in this world. Her own mothers favourite flowers were Yarrow.

So Robin had decided that alongside Nami’s tangerine bushes, she would start to tend to the Yarrow flowers that now covered every single inch of the garden plots, spreading across every inch and covering the area with small beige flowers.

Robin had always loved how you consistently sit beside her, she always angles her book so that you can read. The notes that she takes when translating the poneglyph language have started to go missing.

She knows it’s you, quietly trying to decrease her burden as you try to learn the poneglyph language yourself. Trying to make it so that Robin wasn’t the only one targeted, the only one who shouldered being able to translate the poneglyphs. She worried about you, but she appreciated it more than you could ever know.

Robin had started to find you at her desk, asleep with your head rested on the wood. Robin can’t help but smile as she picks up one of the blankets from her bed, she drapes it over you and kisses your forehead.

“Sleep well, paper trail”

She says slightly amused, it was quite funny to see you with multiple pages that had fully annotated sticky notes attached of you swearing as you try and understand the impossible grammar of the ancient language. There’s a small bouquet of yarrow flowers on the desk, that have been kept together with multiple blades of grass that have been threaded together to secure the flowers, that Robin had brought for you.

Yarrow symbolises healing, protection and everlasting love. Flowers connected to the Greek hero Achilles, who was said to use yarrow in order to treat his soldiers wounds. The flowers are a symbol of endurance for knowledge and they embody bravery, resilience and emotional restoration.

-------------------------------------------------------

Soul King Brook:

Snowdrop.

Brook had first met you, well, my god, it must be decades ago.

Years passed slowly for him, alone on that old ship, no crew, no one but the ghostly fog and unruly waters that crashed against the ship each day. The corpses of his old crew, now skeletons like himself, the ghost ship that was so unbearably quiet as it floats through the Florian triangle.

But then he had seen you again, sailing alongside those straw hat pirates. He didn’t know exactly what you were, but he was glad to see you again. You had aged but so had he, he was a skeleton after all now. The strawhats, the rookie crew that had fought through thriller bark. He remembers being a romantic in his younger years and his best friend, Yorkie had told him plenty of times that if you love someone then you give them flowers.

The snowdrop seemed perfect, he had originally intended to give them to you all those years ago, but when Yorkie fell ill, his priorities had shifted at that moment. Though, it seemed like he wasn’t the only thing that his devil fruit had preserved. Those snowdrops that had been tucked into the pocket of his jacket....tucked away for safety in order to make sure that the flowers could be brought out as a surprise for you. They had also been protected and revived.

“Ah, forgive me y/n, i believe that I was supposed to give these to you a while back. And if you would take them, even after all the time that has passed, then it would warm my heart”

Brook then pauses.

“YOHOHOHO! It seems as though even if i no longer possess a heart, you seem to make it burn bright”

The green soul crackles softly through Brooks ribcage, shifting its form into a small green heart that beats. You just laugh and take the flowers.

“Of course i will still have you Brook”

Tears, somehow, spill from the musicians eye sockets as he smiles and bows before you.

“I am glad to hear that y/n-san”

Snowdrops symbolise hope, renewal and rebirth. They bloom in the winter when snow still mostly buries the ground, for that they are seen as symbols of the ability for life to have victory over the cold and have the resilience to overcome obstacles.

Snowdrops are also flowers that represent the embodiment of quiet determination and inner strength.

-------------------------------------------------------

First Son of the Sea Jinbe:

Iris.

Jinbe had first met you during a warlord meeting, you were a baroque works agent that had been beside Sir Crocodile the entire meeting, quietly scratching your pen against the page as you made observations and wrote down what everyone had said during the meeting, making sure to track facial expressions of the more unpredictable warlords such as Gecko Moria and Doflamingo. Trying to see if they reacted to certain topics more then others, anything to see if there was a give away to their next moves in this game of chess.

Your attention to detail is what drew Jinbe towards you at first, and the fact that every time he seemed to glance over to steal glances, you always had a small whale shark chibi drawn with a little love heart next to it.

It went like this for every meeting until the other warlords noticed.

Crocodile wasnt...initially pleased to put it lightly. You were his best scribe, damn good at writing down real time conversations in order to make sure that Crocodile could look back on meetings incase there was something that he missed.

Although, the more he thought about it? The more Crocodile believed that this was actually very good. He could use this against Jinbe if needed when the warlords eventually collapsed, Crocodile couldnt see this silly marine system lasting long with the people that had congregated under the warlords banner.

And so, he had just let you follow your heart. Leaving small little drawings or notes for Jinbe, sliding them under the table during the meetings, specifically choosing the seat next to Jinbe.

It was getting so obvious that Mihawk had quietly brought some iris that he had grown in his garden...

"Jinbe. Id advise that you give these to y/n. Before Doflamingo or Gecko Moria try to get with them just so you cant"

Mihawk holds out the beautiful purple flowers towards Jinbe and the fishman takes them. Holding them close.

"Ah...Much appreciated Dracule"

And so, after the meeting, Jinbe quickens his pace as he catches you just before you leave with Crocodile, placing the flowers in your hands.

"I wanted to give these to you, and forgive me if I am too forward, but I would like to ask you on...a date"

Jinbe was out of his depth, but it was all worth his awkward but somehow smooth fumbling as you smile up at him.

"Id love to"

Iris symbolises faith and hope for a brighter future, exactly what Jinbe wishes to see. They are a flower that also encompasses wisdom, positive change, truth, clarity and kindness. As well as beauty from the ornate way that their petals grow, they are often described as elegance draped in purple.

☆Heatwave☆

-------------------------------------------------------

Monkey D. Luffy x gn! Reader

-------------------------------------------------------

💥~☆ Fucking hell, the heatwave has been absolutley roasting me lately guys, its only just started to let up where I live but my god. Its been hellish! And if i have to suffer then so do the strawhats >:3~☆

-------------------------------------------------------

It was hot.

Not just normal heat that youd get in the sunny waters of the new worlds tempermental ocean.

Not just the heat that affected Dressrosa or Shells town.

It was on par with the burning hell that was Punk Hazard or the kingdom of Alabasta where it felt like someone had slapped you with a sack of fire ants every time you took a step.

Maybe worse.

Defintley worse.

Going through these waters was not for the weak. The strawhat pirates were currently sailing from Wano Kuri towards Egghead Island. To their next destination. The crew had been excited.

Usopp had been swordfighting with Brook with wood sticks as he told stories about how his grandfather was obviously a renowned samurai that made the world government fear him.

Only for Usopp to scream as Zoro walks up behind him.

"Samurai huh? What was his name? Is he still alive? i want to fight him, we can always go back"

"H-hah?!"

Usopp swallows and straightens up, sputtering slightly but he couldnt come up with a name. Zoro just huffs with amusement as he moves past Usopp.

But the key word here was, had been.

Because then the sun came out.

And. It. Did. Not. Leave.

Like ever, no wind for relief as the Thousand Sunny moved through the waters, no relief as the sun stayed out all day and all night.

Nami's head was in her hands as she contemplates her entire role as a navigator because if she knew that the heat was going to have it out for them this much? Then she would of taken the route that would of added another week of sailing to their journey. Atleast then she wouldnt feel like her entire body was constantly covered in hot coals.

"YOHOHOHOHO! I feel like my skin is melting"

Brook wails as he leans on his guitar, his bony fingers rested on the headstock.

"You dont have skin! Don't act like your suffering like the rest of us!"

Nami snaps back as she lifts her head back up from her desk, batting Brook over the head with one of her maps. She shortly faceplants against her desk again, the fan barely working in the corner of the navigation room.

You really arent faring much better as your laid out on the deck, the less that you move the better that you feel but holy shit. The nails on each plank felt like mini suns on your skin if you had the misfortune of accidentally touching them.

"Nami!"

Usopp shouts defeated as he stays laid back in a starfish position on the deck next to you. The sniper had a wet flannel around his shoulders, forehead and back of his neck.

"What have we done to make you do this to us! Did we not suffer enough with fighting a LITERAL DRAGON!"

"Ah, well, technically Luffy faught Kaido"

Jinbe says, slightly amused as he stays at the wheel of the ship, keeping the Thousand Sunny on course as he chews some of the ice cubes that Sanji had been handing out to everyone.

"Nami-swannn~ Robin-channnn~"

Sanji calls out as he slides out of the kitchen, cold drinks placed on the plate that he carries out from the kitchen.

"Ladies~"

Sanji grins as he places Nami's drink on her desk and Robins drink on the decking next to her.

"Hah! I'm surprised that the ice isnt melting. Don't need to be a pervert to wear so little clothes when its so damn hot!"

Franky calls out as hes laid back against the mast, the cryo core that typically keeps the cola in the compartment of Frankys chest cold has been driven into overdrive. Robin was leant back against Frankys chest in order to keep herself cold.

"I wonder if the temperature will get high enough to start to peel skin. Ive heard that sunburn can be quite fatal and clothing fibres is quite hard to get out of burn wounds"

Robin muses as she brings the iced tea to her lips and downs it.

"Scary"

Usopp grimaces.

Zoro was spinning his blades in a circular fan motion so that the wind can get to chopper because of how thick choppers coat is that the doctor cant really cope at all in the sweltering climate they were currently in.

Monkey D. Luffy. Your captain, the love of your life then sits bolt upright on the deck as he gets an idea.

"Hey! Ive got an idea"

You groan as you move and then proceed to swear as your arm accidentally catches one of the boiling hot nails in the planks as you sit up.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, cmon, take my hands"

Luffy says as he wiggles his fingers infront of you and then grabs your hand, entwining your fingers together. Then he proceeds to use his devil fruit and he stretches his arms out. Dangling you over the edge of the ship and putting you deep in the water where it was so much colder.

The panic that you had from being thrown overboard but still technically tethered was overshadowed by the sheer relief of how cold the water was.

After a few seconds underwater, Luffy then swings his arms back and throws you back onto deck. Grinning.

"Did it work?"

"Hah, yeah, it worked. Its really cold down there"

Luffy nods, almost like he was expecting it and then he kisses your cheek before he runs to the wheel of the ship where Jinbe was, obviously he has an idea.

"Oi! Jinbe!"

Luffy calls out.

"You think that you can throw some of the cold water on deck?"

A full blown grin spreads across Jinbes face as he nods, moving from the wheel and Luffy takes over with keeping it on course...shortly before the ship immediatley starts going off course and you take over so you dont have to spend more time in this hellscape if you go extremely off course.

Jinbe dives into the water and he gathers the energy of the colder depths before he rises up from the deep ocean and then surges the waves onto the deck, covering the deck in a thin layer of freezing water.

The relief is immediate. As the freezing water covers you all.

Sanji always makes sure to leave you an ice cube filled cold drink or some sort of ice cream that he had made himself from either local island fruits or resources from markets when they stopped very frequently to refill their food supply because of a certain pirate captain...

Robin found ways to make the time pass and she typically got stuck in with helping Usopp and Franky with making more turbo powered fans.

Zoro always had his swords that kicked up wind whenever the fans broke and the swordsman smashed the temperature on the hot tub so that the water turned freezing when Chopper almost overheated.

Everyone now uses the cold tub as it has been dubbed.

Nami made sure to help others by passive aggressively slapping a wet towel on their foreheads or shoulders, whilst she tried to figure out how to get through these waters quicker.

In order to give everyone a break, she would absolutely work with Zeus in order to set off mini rainstorm that provided a small bit of heat relief.

Brook was amazing at using his cane in order to create icicles on the masts of the thousand sunny that would melt and then cover people in a splash of cold water which was a damn life saver.

Chopper, when he isnt overheating and being forced into an ice bath by a panicking Zoro, You, Nami and Usopp, usually has concocted a sunscreen that has a high spf content due to the sun exposure, but he had also made sure to mix the sunscreen with a natural cooling agent to provide a bit of extra relief for everyone.

Whenever theres a heatwave, Luffy will always find a way to help you. Whether its stretching his arms and dunking you in water, stealing ice cubes from the drawer in the kitchen or swinging his arms in a motion that mimics fans. It helps to cool not only you, but also himself down.

☆Flowers Pt 6☆

-------------------------------------------------------

Characters Included - Massacre Soldier Killer, Eustass Kid, X-Drake and Basil Hawkins,

X gn! Reader,

-------------------------------------------------------

|| Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 || Previous || Current || Next ||

-------------------------------------------------------

Massacre Soldier Killer:

Amaryllis.

Killer cant help himself, when he sees those crimson flowers that are growing on the battlefield even amongst all the devastation that Law, his captain and Luffy had wrecked in Sabaody. Killer uses his large blades to slice the Amaryllis flowers cleanly at the stem.

Killer clutches the flowers close to his chest, his curved blades now hanging at his belt as he moves over to you.

"Here, found these, I thought you'd like them"

He doesnt tell you that the flowers remind him of when you fight, how his heart flutters whenever he sees your hands stained with the blood of your enemies.

Amaryllis are flowers that have a perennial bulb, the flower dies and it gathers and saves energy in order to produce a new flower and bloom once more.

All the times that Killer had been cut down, and then come back once more.

Amaryllis symbolise all powerful love, strength, determination and patience.

-------------------------------------------------------

Eustass Kid:

King Protea.

You can barely muffle your laughter as you and Kid move past the store windows in the shopping district of Sabaody, moving through the streets in order to escape all of that bullshit you'd barely dodged and somehow escaped from.

"What the fuck are you laughing at?"

Kid asks as he stops dead, his boots crunching against the floor, his goggles keeping his hair back and making it stick up more than usual. Only for Kid to line up exactly next to the display of the massive spiked King Protea bouquet.

You burst into laughter as you point at the flowers next to your captain.

"Hahaha! That looks exactly like your hair!"

Kid looks over his shoulder, his eyes narrowing and his expression settling into a grimace, but his cheeks start to turn red and you can practically imagine steam coming out of his ears in embarassment.

"Tch! My hair doesnt look like that?!... But since you seem to like them so much."

Kid smashes the florists window with his metal fost and grabs the bouquet.

"Here, take your shitty flowers, we need to get out of here"

Kid barks out, but theres a grin plastered across his lipstick stained mouth.

King Protea symbolises strength, courage, leadership, inner power and the motivation to stand tall amidst challenges.

The spiky petaled flowers are typically given to express gratitude when someone helps with personal growth and the journey of life.

-------------------------------------------------------

X-Drake:

Ginkgo Tree.

Arguably, its not a flower, but X-drake will argue that trees are just as important, if not more.

X-Drake had planted it at the start of his marine career with you, you had both decided to defaced the gardens of your units base by planting the Ginkgo sapling. Typically the gardens were reserved for being a training ground, plants were to be small and kept in the initiates or admirals quarters.

Trees lived from hundreds up to thousands of years. X-drake had planted it as a symbol of your love, that even when you both died, whether it be from battle or age, then the tree would live on as a symbol of everlasting love.

And of course, X-drake had done the research and made sure that he had picked a plant that had been around in the jurassic era. The Gingko tree is one of the oldest species of plant that is still living today. And it was the most dominant plant during the jurassic era.

Both of your initials were scratched into a thick piece of bark that hung in your shared quarters since you got together.

-------------------------------------------------------

Basil Hawkins:

White Rose.

"The cards tell me that there is an 87% chance that you would like these"

Hawkins would say as he keeps weaving the straw for the little straw dolls that he had been making.

"Only an 87% chance Hawkins?"

"Yeah, the cards do seem quite temperamental today"

Hawkins always kept a small doll that he had made in his room which looked exactly like you, he had woven a white rose petal where your heart would be in it. The doll was preserved fully and ivory lace cloth stayed around it.

The white rose bouquet were wrapped in a small white lace cloth. Some old Latin was attached to the bouquets card.

Hawkins doesnt know if you understand it, but something tells him that youd appreciate it to be read.

"It means 'to love forever is an important truth, a truth that I wish to share with you'."

Hawkins says, lifting his gaze from his work as a small smile tugs at his lips.

White Roses.

They were the flower that was most often connected to the major tarot card of Death. The flowers are a symbol of pure love, spiritual refinement and the exploration of the unconscious mind.

☆Love?☆

-------------------------------------------------------

Portgas D. Ace x gn! Reader,

~☆2.3k words☆~

-------------------------------------------------------

💥~☆ Yippee, my first long form fanfic, I'm hoping to keep working on trying to write longer fics alongside headcanons, this was a very fun one to do. I love Ace a lot~☆

-------------------------------------------------------

You still remember the first few days on the Moby Dick, Jozu had found you in one of the storage crates, you’d managed to climb in there, hiding from celestial dragons when the Whitebeard pirates had docked at the Sabaody Archipelago.

Since that day, you had been part of the Whitebeard Pirates for a good few years now, moving through the ranks until you eventually got your own division centred around making sure to keep track of all of the crates on the ship. A disorganised ship, especially one that was such a behemoth wasn’t good and therefore, your eye was essential in keeping things moving smoothly.

When pops had first found the spade pirates and consequentially found Portgas D. Ace, getting him to accept any shred of care was like getting a cat to willingly jump into the bath… pretty much impossible. Whenever you tried to get close to him, you'd hear the same damn thing.

“Listen, I don't know what game you and this damn crew are playing, but i’m not letting my guard down, you can’t stop me”

Each day is the same routine, Ace tries to attack Whitebeard, Whitebeard entertains it for a little bit before that booming laugh is heard and Ace is promptly thrown out of the captains quarters and onto the deck outside. Sometimes Ace even ends up tangled within the netting that is pulled tightly between two of the front masts of the Moby Dick. Originally, they had been used by the Whitebeard Pirates in the old era when Marco first got his mythical zoan devil fruit, the first division commander and doctor of the whitebeard pirates had fallen a lot from the crows nest or general gliding around the place whilst he was still getting used to it. Those ropes had been a lifesaver for the doctor.

“When do you think that boy is going to realise that he can't beat pops?”

Vista asks, a lazy grin on the rose blade wielding burly man, he uses one hand to twirl his moustache.

“Its a good show, but even I know when a boy goes from being seen as a ‘threat’ to becoming part of a joke. I'm starting to feel some secondhand embarrassment"

Vista's other hand rests on the handle of his cutlass, the silver blade engraved with roses that have been dyed in order to turn them red, Vista's blades were always something to marvel at.

“Well, I better hes got another week in him. His crewmate, Deuce I believe, he did say that Ace is quite stubborn… Besides, I hope that he doesn't give up soon. I have a thousand berries riding that he lasts another week”

“...You've been betting?”

“Hey! Thatch and Teach started it! I just joined in. C’mon, as long as Ace lasts another week then Teach doesn't win!”

You try to defend yourself, only for Vista to chuckle and shake his head.

It takes a good week before Ace stops trying to make attempts on Whitebeard's life, you think it's because the flame fruit user ended up with a broken ankle from getting flung into the mast a bit too hard when Ace had tried to kill Whitebeard whilst pops was in deep sleep. The yonko could barely hold back his strength when he was awake, it was practically impossible when pops was actually asleep.

It takes another month before you eventually find Ace on the deck, the stars are out and there's only a few deckhands that are on watch tonight. Flames flicker across Ace's shoulders as he is lent back on one of the storage crates that the ropes for the sails are attached to. Ace seems to be glaring at the ocean, his brow is furrowed under that orange hat of his.

“Hey”

Ace flinches at the sound of your voice and he glares up at you tiredly.

“Is it alright if I sit?”

“If this is some-”

Ace starts but you quickly interrupt him. Its been a whole month of failing over and over to try and get through to him, you'd tried food which had worked for some time, but honestly? It was hard to give even the most basic of affection to Ace, he would always move back from a shoulder pat from Thatch or getting clapped on the back by Jozu.

“No, it's not manipulation. That's not what I'm trying to do, you do know that if you really want to leave then you can, right? We aren't going to force you to join if you don't want to”

“Don't you mean ‘family’?”

Ace says bitterly.

"That's what everyone calls it here, some damn family”

“...I guess you don't like that we call it that, huh?”

You say as you carefully move over and position yourself on another storage crate close by, making sure that you aren't encroaching on his space.

“Family abandons you. They aren't there when you need them, they just follow their selfish dreams and you're supposed to just forgive them because you share blood, it's bullshit!”

Ace snaps, it isn't hard to spot the tension in his body or the fact that those warm dark brown eyes are filled with an anger that Ace has never been able to actually express. Anger that is probably deserved, nobody gets that angry unless someone deserves it.

“Stay angry”

“Huh?”

Aces head snaps up and his hat falls slightly, the string around his neck letting that orange hat rest against his back.

“I said, stay angry, but know this. We won't give up on you if you're angry. You're allowed to be angry and stay angry. You do not owe anyone forgiveness, especially not family… and you're allowed to remember the pain. You don't have to forgive and forget. Just.”

You sigh, reaching your hand over and gently placing it on Aces shoulder, smiling at him.

“Just know that we will let you leave if you actually want to. Family is chosen here, all of us chose to follow pops, most of us come from broken homes and those that didn't want to stay? They left”

Ace is quiet, the quietest that you've seen him since the firework of a man had first made contact with the Whitebeard Pirates.

It's a good few minutes of silence and you let your hand fall away from his shoulder as you stare out at the sea with Ace.

“...Have you ever been judged here?”

Ace asks quietly.

“No, never” You answer truthfully.

“I…dont want to leave”

Ace finally admits.

“I’m just not used to this...any of it…I'm Ace. Portgas D. Ace”

Ace puts his hand out, voluntarily giving over his name and you smile as you take his hand.

“Y/n. It's good to meet you Ace”

“Hey, uhh, do you know where I can get some food?”

Ace says sheepishly, rubbing his hand at the back of his neck, his stomach was aching. Ace had been refusing to eat the food left outside his quarters out of defiance but also caution and he was really wishing that he hadn't been so stubborn.

“Thatch is asleep at this house. He's the one with the amazing orange hair, I'll introduce you to him in the morning. But I'm sure I can make you some, I'm hungry too”

It seems as if food is truly the way to this man's heart as Ace practically inhales every bit of food that you make. He tries to help, but ends up burning some of his portion with his flames, but he eats it anyways.

-------------------------------------------------------

Since that day, Ace had stopped his attempts on Whitebeard's life, serious ones at least, he still tried, and failed horrendously. But it was probably from stubbornness, or something else that Ace needed to prove to himself. Ace had been assigned under your division for now as pops had seen that you had managed to make a strong connection with the mera mera no mi user.

During regular sorting of a new shipment of supplies that the others had gotten, you were helping Ace understand the storage strategy and god, you could tell that guys brain was not having a fun time with it. You cant help but shake your head and pat his arm.

“Alright, just carry all of the crates from the entrance to here, alright?”

“Yeah, thank god, i was trying to listen but-”

“You were staring at the wall Ace”

“I said trying!"

Ace tries to defend himself as his cheeks flush, but he moves to the stairs and starts to haul the crates to where you instructed.

It takes a good few hours, but you crack open an ice cold bottle of rum, courtesy of Jozu and place one next to Ace. He nods in thanks and takes a swig, before grimacing and using his flames to heat the liquid up.

“Weirdo”

“What! I like my alcohol hot!”

“Weirdo…”

Ace huffs, but rolls his eyes. And maybe the alcohol starts to loosen his lips as Ace starts to talk after only a quarter of his rum remains.

“I never knew my mom.”

Ace starts, his gaze distant as he talks.

“She died when I was born”

You didn't dare interrupt him. After a few more minutes of silence, you're about to speak but Ace starts talking again.

“My father.”

Ace spits out, venom in every syllable.

“His blood has made my life so much harder. The ‘great’ pirate king… If he was so great then why did he get caught? Why did he die? Why did he leave? Why did I never get a goddamn normal childhood!”

Tears started to pour down Ace's cheeks, his teeth grit as his brow furrows. He trusts you, why else would he tell you something so personal? Something so private.

“You don't have to give him that title y'know?” You say, “He didn't earn it, you don't even have to say his name. Whitey Bay hated her father, she exclusively calls him ‘sperms donor’ or ‘that jackass’...”

Ace snorts out a laugh, and you reach over and gently wipe the tears trailing down his cheeks with your thumbs.

“You don't owe him forgiveness, you don't owe him a title. Parents have to earn the right to be called parents Ace. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise”

You take a breath and look Ace in the eyes as you keep talking.

“Pops taught us on this crew that family? Real family, that is chosen. People might cling onto family only because blood binds them, but that's not the only form of family” You say, and Ace places his hands on your wrists, holding and entwining your fingers together as he swallows and tries to get himself together.

“...I have two brothers…I uhh, I chose them when I was younger… Got a really cool mom too, her name is Dadan. I think you'd get along with them really well”

Ace says quietly and you smile, and god, Ace gives you a look like he's found the sun once again for the first time since he left home.

“I think that I'd like them too… tell me about them… your real family”

The grin that Ace gives you as soon as hes given the opportunity to talk about his brothers? Its like a dying dwarf star being reignited again.

Life goes on, Ace has started to warm up to the others in the crew. Quiet nights are hard to come by now, Ace's reserved and cautious demeanour from before has practically evaporated. Marco definitely tries to keep himself together but ends up shedding a few tears when Ace instinctively calls him brother for the first time.

And everyone has definitely learned wayyyyy more about Luffy than they ever bargained for because of Ace.

-------------------------------------------------------

And you hold Ace in the darker moments, when the flame fruit user collapses in your arms, his head rested on your stomach as he sobs, confiding in you about Sabo, more scraps of the trauma of his childhood as he exposes more of his soul to you each day that passes, and each day that you get closer.

On a cold night, Ace's hat rests on the nightstand in your quarters, he'd been coming here more often ever since the Moby Dick had moved into a colder climate.

“Hah! Can't have my favourite person freezing now can I?”

Ace had teased but now he rested in your arms content as he acts like a hot water bottle for you. Your fingers card through those raven locks of messy hair.

Ace was just…allowed to just… be…when he was around you. He could just be broken with no worry of immediately having someone worry over him. He didn't want to be fixed, he wanted to live his life with no regrets. And god, he had no regrets by staying here with you.

“Thank you”

Ace says quietly.

“For loving me…for loving me as I am and not trying to make me forgive…or to fix me”

Your fingers still in Ace’s hair, worry flashing through you as maybe just maybe Izou had bloody spilled about your crush on Ace.

“Look, I-”

Ace struggles slightly, before he shifts and looks up at you, wrapping his arms around your sides.

“I know that I can be a lot, and if I'm getting the wrong idea then don't be afraid to let me down, gently though, but I…I love you, I love you so much.”

“I love you too Ace”

“HELL YEA-”

Ace then quickly catches himself and coughs, looking to the side, he can't help the massive grin that splits across his face.

“I uhh”

Ace coughs and that grin then turns sheepish.

“I mean, uh, that's great! I'm glad you feel the same. God you have no idea how glad I am to hear that”

Ace's face flushes more as you try to cover the fact that you're laughing, it's adorable, you can't help it.

“Hey! I just poured my heart and soul out to you, don't laugh at me!”

“I cant help it, you just sound so corny!” You laugh harder and Ace props himself up on his elbows, eyes wide.

“CORNY?! Oh i'll show you corny!"

And oh god, you think that you have just given Ace a complex to give the most embarassing, corny PDA ever.

That even the seas may not be able to save you from it.

☆How They Help With Periods☆

-------------------------------------------------------

Characters included - Trafalgar D. Water Law, Roronoa Zoro and Black Leg Sanji,

X f! reader

-------------------------------------------------------

Trafalgar D. Water Law:

There are always period pads or tampons on deck, Ikkaku has lots of them in her room, and you don’t even need to ask for them to be in your room as they are just there when you get your quarters as you settle in to living with the Heart pirates,

Do not have any shame with talking to Law or anyone on the crew about periods. This is an entire crew of doctors, those that have varying degrees of knowledge but they all understand exactly what periods are,

It's better if you do tell Law what’s going on so he can help with administering tranexamic acid in order to reduce the amount of bleeding if you have extremely heavy periods, or by helping with other methods such as heat pads or anti inflammatory meds,

Law keeps track of the medical history of his crew, he makes sure that he knows everyones allergies to medicine or food in order to help him with administering pain relief to wounds or illnesses,

“Here, dark chocolate. It’s got high doses of iron and magnesium, it’ll help with relaxing your muscles so your not so tense."

"Jean Bart’s cooking some salmon and spinach for you. You’ve lost a lot of blood lately”

Shachi and Penguin definitely make offerings of different types of sweet or savoury foods if you need them, they joke but they are sincere,

Law has offered to literally remove your uterus if you wanted him to with his devil fruit, he can put it back once your period is done or he can just get rid of it if you really want him to,

Law will wrap his coat around you if you're cold, or Bepo will lay next to you and make sure that you're comfortable in his arms,

-------------------------------------------------------

Roronoa Zoro:

Zoro has picked you up when you are bedbound in order to help you with getting out of your room, he’ll usually place you next to the aquarium on the couch so you can lay back and be cold, or if you need to be warm then Zoro will carry you to the deck and sit next to you.

Zoro is very good at noticing when your period is going to start, hes good at picking up when things that didnt usually annoy you started to annoy you. Or when you got more emotional.

"I know you feel like this right now, but it'll be alright, want to go see Chopper? Or do you want to go up to the gym, no one goes there so it'll be quiet"

Zoro gives you a spare pair of his pants so you can sleep in them without worrying about bleeding through your own pants. Zoro doesn’t really care about them, they are old pants that he hasn't worn since he got bulkier during the two years that the crew had been split.

Zoro will specifically shift his arm around your waist and keep pressure there if your stomach and pelvic area aches.

“That comfortable? Or do you want more pressure?”

Zoro's body temperature runs hot, and he is pretty much like a hot water bottle except that he doesnt get cold.

Zoro will absolutely draw his swords that he keeps next to his bed if anyone tries to disturb you…except Chopper,

If it’s really bad then Zoro will absolutely pick you up and carry you to the infirmary,

-------------------------------------------------------

Black Leg Sanji:

Sanji will run a hot bath for you and make sure to use some vanilla scented bath oil in order to make it smell nice, he will absolitlry sit in the bath behind you and make sure that you can lie back against his chest in order to support you,

He will absolutely scrunch the shampoo and conditioner through your hair, making sure that you feel refreshed and also making sure to help foam up the soap on your body,

Sanji is a really damn good masseuse, he knows exactly where to press the palm of his hand against your side or stomach to make sure to ease the period cramps,

“I’ve got you, mademoiselle, just rest up and tell me if you need anything”

Sanji will make sure to add more iron rich ingredients to your food, he will always tell you what hes adding to your food and if you dont like something then he will not add it and try to find a different alternative,

Sanji makes sure to give you compliments every day, he wants you to know that you are beautiful to him no matter how bad you may feel about yourself,

Whether you need a shoulder to cry on or to just help Sanji in the kitchen with cooking in order to distract yourself from the discomfort you feel,

☆Nightmares (When you have them) Pt. 2☆

-------------------------------------------------------

Characters Included - Roronoa Zoro, Trafalgar D. Water Law and Eustass Kid,

X gn! Reader,

-------------------------------------------------------

|| Previous || Current || Next ||

-------------------------------------------------------

Roronoa Zoro:

Everyone that knew Zoro believed that he was a very deep sleeper, there are countless times where canonfire has happened and Zoro has stayed asleep. Countless times where Nami screaming at Luffy for being a moron hadnt even made the swordsman stir.

But deep sleeping was a tactic that Zoro had learned since he was young. He had kept quiet about it because well, no one needed to know he was actually a light sleeper.

Zoro had just gotten good at knowing when to actually show he was awake. Zoro was always alert, always ready to open his eye if the slightest noise differed from the usual ambiance of the Strawhat crew and the Thousand Sunny.

And what wasnt part of the usual snoring, page flips and pen scratches that Zoro typically heard was a scream from your room.

Alongside Zoro, Brook was always on deck during night watch, the waters seemed calm at the minute but you never knew these days with how much the crews bounties were increased lately.

Zoro was up before Brook could even offer to check on you, already moving towards your room to make sure that there wasnt an intruder and that you weren't hurt.

When Zoro gets to your room? He can see you tossing and turning, curled in on yourself as he hold one of your pillows. Zoro himself still had nightmares about Kuina. He understands that the past can haunt.

So Zoro does the best thing he can think of in the moment and he moves over to you, sitting down on your stomach, making sure that his weight isn't crushing you. Trying to keep a steady grounding presence.

Your eyes snap open and the first thing that you can feel is the weight of someone sitting on you, but the second is feeling Zoro's hands either side of your face. So the first thing you can see is your lover rather than the complete darkness of your room. You can see things that arent there from recent nightmares in the pitch black and Zoro didnt want you more panicked.

"You back with me?"

Comes Zoros' voice as he gets off you and lays next to you, pulling the sheets over you both.

"Im staying. Brooks got the deck, you arent sleeping alone for the rest of the night."

-------------------------------------------------------

Trafalgar D. Water Law:

The metallic hum of the engine of the polar tang was a noise that Law was used to, it was rythmic and helped to calm him down after a long day dealing with everything.

Some called it insomnia, but the night was the only time that Law felt like he had to himself.

Law had noticed something the nights that he stayed up, it wasnt at a consistent time, but every now and then Law would hear the door to Bepos quarters creak open and the polar bears minks attempts at being quiet as he moved towards your room. Law had just let it go initially, it wasnt his business but even ge couldnt ignore that gnawing curiosity.

So as Law hears the telltale creak of Bepo's door opening and after a few minutes? Law finally gets up and moves towards your room.

And there he sees Bepo curled up next to you in your bed, making sure that you can hold his fluffy paws for some comfort as you quietly sob through another nightmare.

Law pauses at the doorway and Bepo's eyes shift to look up at his captain, the forst mates eyes filled with worry.

"Bepo."

"Ah captain, in sorry for keeping this from you but they were so stressed and they always calm down when i-"

"You did good"

"Huh?"

Law moves over and he just quietly settles into your bed on the empty side next to you.

"I said that you did good Bepo, grounding is essential with nightmares, but you shouldn't do this alone, were a crew, we help eachother"

Law says as he holds your other hand and rubs his thumb over your knuckles, feeling you curl against his side.

"Let me take over now. You should come and get me when this happens. Ill talk to them in the morning and we can figure something out"

-------------------------------------------------------

Eustass Kid:

Eustass Kid is a man that knows mainly how to ignore his own trauma (unless its with killer) but is very good at helping the people he cares about with theirs, even if its in the bluntest way possible.

Ever since Wano, Kid practically has a foolproof way to handle the nightmares that Killer had.

Despite typical advice that that you shouldn't abruptly shake someone awake when they were having a nightmare. Kid found that it actually had helped most of his crew quite a lot to be brought put of nightmares as quickly as possible with a rough shake from Kid. It was just a method that worked for them.

If you were to have a nightmare? Kid would do the same for you. He didnt see a reason why he should let you continue to suffer inside that nightmare.

Kid moves to your side as he hears you toss and turn in your room. He then grabs your shoulders and shakes you.

"Oi, wake up, it ain't real. Your here, with me. Ive got you"

He moves his good hand and pulls at the dark red fur cloak that was usually splayed across his shoulders, he pulls it around you and pulls you close to him

"Tch, takes more than a shitty nightmare to break one of my damn crew, your strong, we all get fucked up on the seas. Anyone who isnt? Their either lying or they've never experienced a shred of real life"

☆Flowers Pt 5☆

-------------------------------------------------------

Characters Included - Monkey D. Dragon, Boa Hancock, Buggy The Clown, Figarland Shamrock, Figarland Garling,

X gn! Reader,

-------------------------------------------------------

|| Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Previous || Current || Next || Part 7 ||

-------------------------------------------------------

Monkey D. Dragon:

Peonies.

Peonies are flowers that are connected to the first love that some people have. Heather there is a small bouquet that is left next to your nightstand whilst Dragon works long nights or you see Dragon pull part of his cape aside to unveil more peonies that he hand delivers to you when he gets a break. There is a small supply run that Betty now goes on in order to gather peonies from a specific island.

You would always receive white and coral coloured peonies.

Dragon worked a lot, the man was burdened by guilt that was just reinforced with determination. Dragon constantly pushed for the freedom of others but he often stripped himself of freedom.

Dragon is a good man and a haunted one at that. You would walk over to his desk and place the white and coral peonies between you as you pulled up a chair to sit next to him. Promptly, you take half of the stack of new intelligence documents that had come through thanks to Koala and Sabo’s recent excursion in Dressrosa. You make sure to organise them by date, just to make sure that it’s easier for him to sort through.

“I know you feel bad, but you have to stop giving me white flowers, you don’t need to apologise, i knew what i was getting into when i got with you Dragon”

Dragon pauses and looks up from his work and turns his head towards you with tired eyes.

“I know, but expectations are often different from reality my love. I’m away more than even i expect-“

You cut him off quickly by moving the peonies to his hand and entwine your fingers together.

“Shut up Dragon, i love you enough no matter how often you have to leave or work, we’re revolutionaries. And at that, you need rest, you cannot keep this together if you are falling asleep at your desk, come to bed”.

“…alright”

Peonies are flowers that symbolise first love, passionate love, accomplishment, good fortune and they are flowers that are used for the celebration of achievements. White peonies are often given in apology when someone feels shame, whilst coral peonies symbolise strong relationships, happiness and success.

-------------------------------------------------------

Boa Hancock:

Snakes head fritillary (the first flower picture) and Ranunculus (the second flower picture - the light pink rose like flower).

It was an ancient ritual, one that had almost been wiped out when the snake empress and her sisters had been hunted and branded by those false, greed driven ‘gods’.

Flowers that were given to the amazonian woman’s person of interest would represent both a shard of the amazonian’s past and what the Amazonian felt that the person they were interested in represented.

As Boa was interested in you? She gad moved towards where the old trail grounds were and had picked those two sets of flowers. The Amazon Lily empress had spent hours carefully organising the flowers into an ornate bouquet for you, making sure that it was perfect. The empress herself had carefully cut off a section of the bottom of her skirt to show that a part of her was now woven with you and woven into the promise she was going to make to stay by your side.

The empresses clothes were extremely important in Amazon Lily culture, a fully preserved snake skin was very hard to find completely in tact in the forests on the island. Each part of the snake skin was woven with silk from the local silk worm minks who lived in the Alka Trees.

“Snakes head fritillary.”

Boa says as she shows the outer flowers of the bouquet.

“A flower that gives recognition to my past. They symbolise melancholy, sorrow and deep mourning. I place these in my bouquet to you in order to honour my fallen sisters and bare my soul to you, even the wounded parts”

Boa speaks as her gold snake earrings glint in the sun, jingling softly as she steps forward ad places the bouquet in your hands.

“And on the inside? Are Ranunculus. A flower that symbolises charm, attraction and radiant beauty, all things that encompass you. The lakes bloomed plenty this year and i take this as a great sign for us, my flower”

Boa smiles as the ceremony continuous around you both as you are crowned the empresses partner.

-------------------------------------------------------

Buggy The Clown:

Morning Glory.

Did Buggy laugh for a good like ten minutes when he saw the name of the flower? Absolutley, of course he fucking did. He laughed until he wheezed before snatching a few of the flowers.

Originally, Buggy did have the plan of leaving the flowers that share their name with an innuendo on the corpses of rival crews that Buggy had defeated as an extra fuck you.

Until he gets with you, every now and then Buggy will blame it on Cabbaji and make you believe that the acrobat had ordered a shipment of morning glory by mistake.

Buggy will still leave them by crews he had defeated, but he had started to shove some of the flowers into your hands, you had said once that they were your favourite... and then Buggy had stuttered some excuse and left.

"Here! Their clogging up storage, do something with them!"

Buggy has never read a book about flowers or their meaning in his life, and he probably never would.

"Tch there, I saw you looking at them. As your great captain I have the generosity to bestow some upon you or whatever!"

Buggy grins, splitting off his hand from his body and using it to deliver flowers to that empty vase across the room. The same vase that you had stolen from a market to hold the first set of morning glory flowers that Buggy had gotten you.

Morning Glory serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of life and encourages individuals to embrace love and affection in their daily lives. The flower symbolises tenderness, and tenacity, prodding individuals to pursue their dreams with endless persistence.

-------------------------------------------------------

Figarland Shamrock:

Pansy.

Shamrock didnt need to concern himself with customs that commoners took part in ehilst trying to romance others. The gifting of flowers hsd never made much sense to him. It was unnecessarily dirty, to touch the plants that existed in the tainted soil of those islands on the blue sea below Marijoa.

Why dirty your hands when someone else could pick flowers for you?

If you wanted something or someone then you either bought it or you forcefully took it yourself. That was the way of the holy knights and celestial dragons.

And yet.

Here he was in the private manicured gardens of the Figarland estate...picking fucking flowers. Shamrocks skin crawled at the soil under his nails, and whilst he felt the overwhelming need to wash this mortal filth from his hands? He keeps picking them until he gets a bundle. Tying them together with a thick red silk ribbon.

"Here, they've been growing well from the gardeners tending to them, ive saved most of the roots if you do wish to keep them in your room. Im sure I can get a maid to help make a hanging basket."

Pansies are flowers that are heavily connected to the planet Saturn. Youd think that in the Figarland estate the flowers would all be red, right?

But no.

The pansies that Shamrock had ordered to be grown were specifically blue and purple pansies. There was only one useful thing that bastard Sommers had ever said with his filthy mouth...and that was about the meaning of pansies, he had probably talked about other meanings of different flowers, but pansies had stuck with Shamrock.

Blue pansies represent loyalty, devotion and truthfulness. Purple pansies represent royalty and beauty. Overall? Pansies are strongly connected to discipline and responsibility.

Throughout Shamrocks life, he had served the Abyss order, the holy knights and Imu-sama. And now?

Now Shamrock had found himself devoted to you. Not just duty, not just following orders, no. Devotion. Pure devotion. Not just from responsibility or discipline, no, this time it was from choice.

-------------------------------------------------------

Figarland Garling:

Moonflower.

It had been years since that day. The day that the world had changed forever, the day that power tilted in the World Governments favour and had destroyed upcoming threats against the gods of this world.

Years since Garling had started to quietly leave those flowers by your family's house in Marijoa.

Those exact flowers that had bloomed in blood of that crumbling island... Moonflowers.

Moonflowers. They emerge and glow under moonlight typically. The flowers are known to bloom under nightfall, during the time that Garlings blade carved through hunting trophies on islands.

Even the curve of the petals of the moonflower reminded you of the supreme commander of the holy knights. Garling and his stupid fucking hair that you had started to place those very same flowers in.

"Do you really get so much enjoyment out of these humiliation rituals that you decide to put me through?"

Garling would complain. You could never show affection outside of these walls, his image needed to be maintained after all and a singular breach could cost you both everything. Comrade or not, the holy knights could tarnish someone, even if it was one of their own.

Moonflowers symbolise mystery, secret love, romantic devotion that hides from the worlds prying eyes and they are flowers that provide hope during dark times.

Ironic, as Garling and the celestial dragon stronghold that you find yourself in are the cause of the darkness that plague this world.
