I worked with the fantastically talented @alegnace for the @opreversebang for this fic.

Such an honour. This summary might sound a bit sad, but I think it’s an uplifting fic. Who better than the Surgeon of Death to help ease folks to the other side.

Cora had died alone. Law's family too. In fear and shock and pain. If Law could be there for someone as they passed over, he would be. Midwife to another transition, his fingers teased the line separating the living and not, shaded the regions between.
"Was it a job requisite? Inking your fingers like that?" Kokoro asked.
"A death midwife, or death doula, is a person who assists in the dying process, much like a midwife or doula does with the birthing process. It is often a community based role, aiming to help families cope with death through recognizing it as a natural and important part of life." (Wikipedia)
Tempered Expectations
Fandom: One Piece Rating: T(een) Warnings: Mild profanity, food/eating Character focus: Roronoa Zoro, Blackfoot Sanji, Perona, & Charlotte Pudding Word Count: 4033 Written for 2022's One Piece Reverse Bang, based on Novicity's absolutely wonderful art (reposted below with permission, but also please check out her twitter and support their post!).
Summary:
Perona distracted Sanji’s rage again by widening her eyes to a plea. “Please, Mr. Cook?” Sanji could do nothing. “Sure, fine. You can help Pudding and me decorate the sweets.” As Perona cheered, Sanji couldn’t stop the sinking feeling in his stomach that this was a mistake. -- Zoro's in the way, it's Perona's fault, there's a kitchen raid, and it's impossible to cook in peace.
Read it now on AO3!
Thank you so much to @opreversebang for the opportunity to participate in this event. As Novicity is only on Twitter, and I'm only on Tumblr, I would never have been able to meet and work with them without your organization.
I hope you all enjoy!
Only part of some of the influences for Doctor Death (Doula). None of the images above beat @alegnace ‘s beautiful art that was done for the @opreversebang (please check it out). Excerpt below:
🎺🎺🎺
"Who we forgiving today, Kokoro?"
Law adjusted his client's pillows a little and pulled out the seafarer deck she liked to cheat with. Worn and slightly sticky from use, white streaks scoured the color from the mirrored octopuses on the back of some of the cards.
"Not a damn one of them."
🎺🎺🎺
Law’s a death doula to a dying Kokoro. He plays the trumpet in his spare time to aid the transition from one world to the next. Modern AU. Uplifting.

The cards and the model were from various advertising campaigns about the place. Trumpet? From a wiki too, I hope! This probably only means something to me and the artist, but oh well!
These illustrations are my part of the collaboration with @akemichan007 for the One Piece Reverse Bang 2022 @opreversebang. You can read her beautiful, touching story here: “Unbreakable Bonds”.

Reverse Bang 2022 Schedule and FAQ
Welcome to the 2022 Reverse Bang! Thank you for all the responses to the interest check. This post will outline the basics of the event and describe the schedule. If you have any questions, please contact me on tumblr, twitter, or at [email protected]. Once you’ve signed up, you can also ask on the discord.
What is a Reverse Bang?
This event is an opportunity for artists to collaborate with writers. Artists will create 1+ art pieces, and they will be paired with a writer who will then collaborate with the artist to write a story (minimum 4 k) based on the art work. These can be for any character, any pairing, any situation, etc. Anything goes as long as it’s One Piece related!
How exactly does it work?
Sign ups will be open from 1st October – 1st December for both artists and writers. Once I receive your sign up, you will be sent an invitation to the event discord. Matchups will take place in mid December, where artists will send in a sample of their work (this can be a simple sketch, rough idea, a fully finished piece, or even just a description) and a small form. These will be posted anonymously onto a google document where writers will be allowed to view them for 24 hours. After these 24 hours are up, writers will be able to fill in a form with their top 5 choices of art, and will be allocated these on a first-come-first-serve basis.
After that, you will be able to contact your partner and begin work on the project. How you collaborate is up to you and your partner. There is no wrong or right way, but it is important to know that this is a collaboration. Both of you need to be flexible to work with each other well. There will be a few check-ins throughout the entire process, but if there are ever any issues, please let me know asap so I can help!
Posting will be through 3rd February through March, and you will be allowed to choose a date to post in late January. It is the aim to have 1-2 projects per day, depending on the number of projects there are, and you are allowed to post on whatever site you like. I will be sending forms out for you to fill in with information about your projects, and these will need to be completed and sent back with links to your work before I can post an announcement.
How do I sign up?
Sign ups will be posted on the 1st October, and it will be done through a google form.
Why are sign ups so long?
This year we are doing something a bit different and including a discord, which allows for more collaboration up front. While we will still have anonymous claims for partners, as that was what the majority preferred in the interest check, there were a lot of you who wanted additional time and freedom to collaborate. To that end, I extended the sign up period to two months and will be allowing people to decide on partners after signing up. That way if you find someone in the server who you click with, you’re able to sign up together before claims happen in December.
You still won’t be able to share your actual in progress work in public or on the server until after match ups in December, but you can share all of your current work, discuss pairings/characters, and see and interact with everyone else’s work. So please take advantage and get to know your fellow participants!
Are NSFW pieces allowed?
Yes, if you are over 18. Only writers who are over 18 will be able to pick that piece for claims. I will post links to the art and fic with the rating clearly posted in the form.
What pairings/characters can I include?
Anything goes as long as it’s from One Piece, and rare pairings or characters are encouraged. There will be someone who the piece inspires, and the event will have a strict ship and let ship policy.
Do I have to participate in matchups?
Not at all. You are welcome to sign up with an artist or writer. Both of you just have to let me know who your partners are in sign ups.
What are the requirements for the event?
Artists:
At least one completed artwork. This may be a traditional/digital artwork, graphic artwork, or a fanvid. You may submit art for up to two different projects. This artwork needs to be new for this event.
Writers:
A completed story based on the artwork you chose during the match ups. These stories must be at least 4,000 words. There is no upper limit. You may be able to work on more than one project, depending on how many artists and projects we have.
Schedule

15th - 22nd December - Art submissions, claiming, and partner match ups take place.
