*does a silly little dance* Anyyyyway uhhh I made a new crack au. This one's about Imu being Sabo's parent. Imu just decided hmmm i think i want a child. And just. Created one out of shadows lol.
Don't worry about Sabo though. Much like in canon he figures out a way to meet his brothers somehow. I'm not entirely sure hoooow that would happen though, my current thought process is: Imu would eventually want to teach Sabo how to control a country, so he'd send him to Goa to learn in a relatively small country they don't really care too much about. And boom ASL. <3
Still/ the neva flows reprise except it's sabo and Luffy
heres the song for ref:
“Sabo.”
There's a man holding a gun to Luffy’s chest, resting just above the scar aside his heart.
Luffy isn’t moving, standing still as stone as the man continues to hold the gun to his heart, continuing to stare as Sabo speaks.
“Laughtale is no place for a child of Goa.” It’s a strange thing for Sabo to bring up right now, right that they’re so close, but Luffy can hear the anger in his voice. Can remember the screams and the fire that nearly buried him whole.
“We are both children of Goa.” He’s just a child being scolded by his brother, just a kid looking for approval he’ll never find—
“I’ve come to take you home.”
“My home is here.” His home is on the sea, free to do as he wished, free to live and do more than just fight. His home is with his crew and with his brothers.
“Stop playing this game Luffy.” The gun moves slightly to the side as Sabo leans back, hand running through pale hair. His eyes flick up for only a moment before meeting Luffy’s again. “Please.”
“We both know this is not a game.” Luffy hates the look on Sabo’s face, annoyance and desperation and things his– Sabo should never show. It’s not–
“If you really are Nika or Joyboy, then do you really think history wanted you to live?” It’s a twisted mockery of what Ace asked all those years ago, do you want me to live? Except it’s Sabo asking him why Luffy should be alive, except it’s Sabo destroying every little bit of Ace and their brotherhood that Luffy has left.
“Yes,” he answers, hands by his side balling into fists. “Why don’t you!?”
“The gods were given everything and gave back nothing until the common people rose up and destroyed them!”
“All but one.” Luffy sets his shoulders back. “Finish it.”
Looking up at Sabo he glares. “I am my own person.”
“And I am doing this for the greater good!” Sabo’s eyes blaze, reflecting the flames that momentarily take home on Sabo’s arms.
The safety clicks off.
“Finish this I will.” Sabo grits his jaw.
“Dragon told me not to ask about your mother.” He tells Luffy as if that means anything. “He said she died a shame.”
“You look at me and see Ace.” Luffy scowled. “So then look at me and imagine Ace screams and see his face of betrayal! See his terror, see his blood!”
Sabo’s going to kill him. His own brother is going to kill him—
“I believe Dragon did a proud and vital task, and in my leader's name–” It’s always about his father, always about his grandfather, always about Sabo and Ace but never about Luffy.
If he is to be executed it should be by Sabo and because he is Luffy not because—
“Do it and I will be with Ace in Marineford all over again!”
“The children—their voices— a man makes painful choices–” he closes his eyes and Luffy hates- “He does what's necessary Luffy!”
Sabo opens his eyes staring into his eyes again. “For the world, for the people, what choice but simple duty–”
Luffy feels his chest stutter as his eyes burn. His brother is going to kill him.
“—We have the past to bury Luffy!” When had Luffy become part of that past?
Drums sound around him and he feels more free than he ever has, he doesn’t—
“Luffy,” Voices call to him–”Captain!” they scream–”Strawhat” they cry!
Sabo’s expression flutters and anger crosses his face, and Luffy is that lonely seven year old boy again.
“Soon the world will be free! When the morning rises the gods lie cold–”
When was Luffy anything but himself? When was he anything but the crybaby that two desperate boys took in as their brother—
“Be careful what a dream will bring. A revolution is a simple thing.”
The gun fires off.

So I had thoughts and was like huh? and here I am with this :)
Hello there :) I really LOVED your asl brothers headcanons + the fluffy sabo one
So we know the majority of the fandom headcanons Sabo as a not really jealous type of bf, but what if when he DOES get jealous, its quite a mess ? May I please request an angsty headcanon of this with a fluffy ending ? Female!S/O please,
Thank u ❤
hello, thank you for the request! y'all really love sabo and im in for it, as you should! im not really fond of making angst because i can't take myself seriously but i tried my best with my own version and I'm sorry if it's nothing like you requested. also, I can't imagine sabo in an angsty headcanon but feedbacks are highly appreciated! hope you enjoy it!
genre: sfw | v light angst - fluff
warning(s): f!reader, modern-day timeline
note: not proofread and a really long one so I'm gonna call it a one-shot with headcanon format
JEALOUS SABO ONESHOT
as we all know, sabo is caring and patient. that being said, he doesn't really care about other people and respects those people around you. he's v rational and doesn't mind much those guys who have hots for you.
unless the same guy kept on hitting on you and gets under his skin while he's in a not-so-nice mood, all hell breaks loose.
okay, it's so rare for him to get jealous but when he does, you get lowkey intimidated and scared.
he's the silent treatment type of jealousy, he won't even look at you and let you touch him. he'll be so distant but will expect you to cling unto him and if you don't? he'll get sulky and impatient, he won't be able to stay still istg
he calms down with your scent tho
you know that well and the last time you had this issue was around half a year ago
because you're a dumb bitch who's too oblivious for your own good, it happened again.
sabo is waiting for you at his apartment and since you decided to go on a date tomorrow, you'll be spending a night there since sabo had been whining for the lack of time you've been together for this whole month. unfortunately, you're late because there was a company dinner and you forgot to text him that you'll be late since you thought it won't take an hour but here we are.
god, I'm so stupid! you thought
a co-worker offered to give you a ride home which you didn't refuse because of course, you want to be home as soon as possible. you thanked your office mate and when you were about to unlock the door, it opened and there you saw sabo in his pajamas-- a white shirt and gray sweatpants. he looks concerned and immediately grabs your bag and coat so you could remove your heels.
"I'm so sorry, love. there was a sudden company dinner but it only went for an hour because there's only 4 of us there anyways. have you eaten?" you explained while you walk towards the kitchen to get water.
"yes, did you eat well? there's a leftover if you're still hungry. who was with you anyways?" he curiously asked
"oh, the team manager and his wife then my desk mate. do you remember him? the one who gave me a bento cake last time?"
his forehead creased and you look at him for a second when you heard him clear his throat which you didn't pay much attention to.
"ah, okay. let's go to bed right after you wash up, we're leaving early tomorrow." he smiled at you but it didn't reach his eyes
still, you chose to shrug it off because he's been always like that whenever he's tired and sleepy.
you skipped lightly towards him to give him a hug and kiss which made him chuckle
he hugged you tightly and places his face to the crook of your neck when he stiffened under your touch.
nonetheless, you paid no mind and go on with the night since as he said, you'll be leaving early tomorrow and you just want to dive in the bed--wrapped in his arms.
when the morning comes, you woke up when you felt the other side of the bed--cold and empty. you immediately got up to get a cup of water while thinking that he might be watering the little plants he has.
you tied your hair before going out but instantly stopped in your tracks when you found him leaning at the main door, talking with your office mate.
"uhm? what's up?" you were so confused about what's happening but you can clearly see that sabo is not having fun while your office mate was smiling sheepishly.
you walked towards them that made sabo click his tongue which made you uneasy
"oh, I'm just passing by. i think you dropped this hairpin on my car last night." you mirrored his smile and lightly tuck in the little strands that fell on your face
you were about to reach for it when sabo grabbed it-- a little too hard-- that made you tense as you can feel his intense gaze even though he's not looking at you.
"yeah, thanks. you can go now." sabo blandly shooed him which made your eyes widen as you rush to pull him back and stand in front of him to face your co-worker.
"h-hey! yeah, thank you so much! i didn't notice it but I appreciate it. well, see you at the office...i g-guess?" it was so hard for you to maintain a smile on your face when you can literally feel the heavy pressure of sabo's presence.
"oh, actually the manager announced that we're gonna have a one-day trip to osaka for screening of the new products at the group chat. she was looking for a volunteer and the team manager wanted you to c--"
"she's not available, can't you fucking see?" you almost yelped at the impact when sabo pulled you unto him that made you bump on his chest.
they were exchanging glares so you had to cut it off and apologize because you're not gonna volunteer for that, not when sabo is like this, you're better off dead than go with your team.
when you bid farewells to your co-worker and close the door, you can feel your stomach-churning. the moment he lightly pushes you to go back to his room, you knew this is gonna be a long day.
it's early in the morning and today is date day, what a bad timing to show up in front of sabo.
"love? hey..." you called out when you saw him in front of his study desk and laptop with glasses on. a sign that the date will get canceled.
you immediately go behind him and tried to touch his cheeks but he evaded it smoothly with attitude. you almost laughed but you know it's not the right time and you're not that stupid.
you tried different things but he just wouldn't accept anything right now so you decided to give up pestering him and took a shower instead. you can't allow this day to be a waste, if you have to drag him just to make the date happen--you will.
even after dressing up, he's still ignoring you but you know he's also aware of what're you doing because you can see his hands stop from typing whenever you make a move.
"love, I'm going out. you comin'?" trying a new approach, you asked but no reply.
you sigh heavily and head to the kitchen, you saw him shift around at the corner of your eyes when you opened the door.
pouring an orange juice into the mug and going back to his room, you placed it beside his laptop. your hands place on his shoulders for support, you take off one of his earpods.
"sabo, I'm going out for a while 'kay?" you stand straight after giving him a kiss on his cheeks.
but before you can even take a step, you're immediately pulled by him. standing between his parted legs as buries his face in your stomach. he's a little bit calmed down so it'll be easier to talk to him.
"you come back home late with another man's scent on you then the next day, they come knocking on my door. that fucking assho--"
you cut him off with a light slap on his head, "sabo, that's mean! don't act like i forgot your rudeness earlier." you warned
he looked up to you with a glare, "yeah, he earned it. are you siding with him?"
"no, love. you know you've been rude!" you raised a brow which he mirrored
"baby, I'm your boyfriend." he stated with his cheeks slightly puffed like that sentence will do its magic
you sighed, giving it up. i mean, it's partly your fault! you're just lucky this time because he's attention and touch starved-- that's why he's easy to submit.
"okay, okay. I'm sorry, I'll be careful from no--"
"as you should." he cuts you off with a sass
you squeezed his cheeks and kiss him on his nose and forehead, "c'mon, stop being a baby and get up. we're going to movies instead, my treat." you winked at him.
he instantly stands up and hugged you tightly while peppering you with kisses.
before closing the bathroom door, he looked back at you and flashes his infamous charming smile that made you chuckle.
Kind of personal, I always like studying at the library with victorian ambience videos or london themed ones (I am such a basic girl) and imagining rainy days in the library sutdying with international studies AU Sabo from my self ship and I feel like things can’t get better. For instance, today it’s raining in Paris, and it was so hard to get myself to work if it wasn’t for him pushing me.
It’s so cute because It’s how we met and he loves looking at me peacefully study T^T I like doing the same too.
Here is the one I listen to today. I tend to change often though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGHACeh-gc8&ab_channel=TERAVIBE
Yes I am unable to get anything done unless I romanticize my life. I hope it doesn’t bother anyone. It’s my way of coping with my lonely student life. I might move my self ship to another blog, but I feel like I WANT to keep doing it here because I am lazy
Hiya! Thank you for the last answer it made my day! I love your writing, may I possibly request some headcanons of what Sabo looks for in a s/o, and how he would confess/pursue them romantically please? Thank you very much! Stay awesome! :3
hello, im glad you loved it! this is late bc im so busy but your wish is my command so here it is^^
genre: sfw | fluff (?)
warning(s): n/a
note: i love how sabo is getting attention <333
HIS IDEAL TYPE
I'm a firm believer that he's into cute ppl rather than beautiful ones but if you're both? damn lucky.
oh he likes them a little bit feisty and independent, those types of ppl who can protect themselves since he worries a lot.
someone who can understand that they're his top priority but that doesn't make his other priorities less important
you can't change my mind that his love language is words of affirmation that make him a sucker for praise and assurance so yeah, he likes those who are vocal!!!!
pretty eyes and pretty smiles are his main reasons when he starts getting interested in someone
he absolutely likes them high maintenance!!!! he's always busy so when his s/o would demand or ask for things, he feels like he matters and needed although he's absolutely fine with low maintenance ppl
loyalty and respect is a big deal to him so ofc that's the first-ever thing he looks for in a s/o
confident s/o is such a non-sexual turn on for him!!!! he's definitely whipped for ppl who knows their worth and how fine they are
don't get him wrong, he's okay with insecurities--it's just that he prefers ppl who got confidence
ppl who got the same interest as his
HOW WOULD HE LET THEM KNOW
if he likes you, get ready to get complimented a lot out of nowhere and receive small gifts from him.
he's kinda straightforward so once he gets a green flag, he would confess immediately but would never rush you
he's that type of guy who wouldn't leave you by your side until he got an assurance
expect random pretty handwritten letters every morning with a dried flower and glittery wax seal!!!!
he'll be chill and won't pressure you but you can see that he's eager to receive your proper answer to his confession
i bet he'll confess to you under the sunset, both of you fresh from an exhausting battle, sitting on the bermudagrass with a beer on your hands. talking about the day with small smiles until he confesses to you smoothly after tucking a small flower, that fell from the tree, behind your ears.
"I just want to let you know, y/n. I'm not asking for you to like me back but that'll be awesome. although it's better to take your time, don't you think?"
