Being Fictionkin is having to grieve silently because your family doesn’t know that that anime character who died was your brother.

I think Sabo would be insanely patient with his brothers after he remembers them. Like whenever Ace and Luffy are pissing around, fighting or breaking things, he would just stare at them for a few moments smiling fondly before jumping into the fight (bc he wants so badly to be their brother again, and he is trying to relearn how to). Ofc he is getting active too (Dadan ain’t raise no coward), but discreetly he is making sure that they don’t break anything or go too far with their words. Because God, he is so so happy to have them back, and it overshadows any of the negatives so greatly that even during the hardest times he is so grateful that they are alive. Like he loves them so deeply, and can’t stand to see them hurt or scold them too harshly. He hasn’t known them for so long, so he is going to make the most of their time now. It also often leads to his brothers bothering him ALL THE TIME. Imagine the most annoying thing ever, times two. That’s Ace and Luffy. They PURPOSELY try to drive that man insane, but little do they know he is already fucking crazy so it’s a bit too late for that.

ASL ‘Merica AU where Luffy and Ace are full blown (poc) southern boys with a Latina adoptive mother and Sabo is some pasty white kid from the midwest who has a really weird ass accent (britishwest I call it lovingly) they picked up at a garbage dump they (by they I mean Ace) were setting fires in one day. Sabo just kinda… gets kidnapped by Ace and Luffy… and decides to squat in their house, and Dadan is so pissed at first but grows a soft spot for him. He picks up some of the words Dadan, Luffy, and Ace say in Spanish and gets his ass grounded when he starts cussing out his brothers in FLUENT spanish one day (Dadan is secretly so proud). Just outta no where this kid is so good at speaking spanish.

Masterlist!

ASL ‘Merica AU where Luffy LOVES to cuddle and spend time together with his family and friends (little guy is constantly and consistently as snug as a bug in a rug) and always hassles his brothers about it. Sitting down to watch a movie?? Luffy needs to sit in the middle for optimal warmth and comfort. Ace cooking dinner for them while they all chill in the kitchen? Luffy is constantly beside him, wrapped in a blanket, doing shit all but mooching off his warmth, bothering him about what he is cooking, and talking his and Sabo’s ear off (one of Ace’s favorite times of the day, has been caught secretly calling it ‘brotherly bonding time’). Sabo has a work from home day?? Luffy is ECSTATIC, setting up a pile of blankets and pulling out his nintendo switch and PROMISING to be quiet while his brother is clocks in (he fails and pouts when Sabo gives him “The Look”, still insisting that Sabo plays Mario Kart with him in the blanket fort during his hour lunch). He hasn’t seen Ace during the semester because he had to move for his mentorship?? Luffy is clinging onto him and asking to play video games or go outside and skate; Ace threatening to beat the shit out of his (and Sabo’s) ass(es) every five seconds while Sabo just points and laughs like a maniac (Ace doesn’t mind at all actually, he just can’t go easy on his little brothers). The ONLY motherfucker who can escape cuddling (if he is lucky) is Sabo, and that is SPECIFICALLY because sometimes he gets touch averse. Luffy tried to give Sabo a hug ONCE during one of these moods and got the most wide-eyed, fanged, angry “The Look” of all time, (Sabo felt like shit later and apologized while explaining the concept of touch aversion and boundaries, which Luffy did NOT understand but did respect) so now he tries to ask about Sabo’s mood before spending time with him or hugging him. The ASL brothers going home to visit Dadan?? Luffy is NOT letting her go for the next 15 minutes, and when he does he follows her around all day(he missed her) and tries to help around the house (he fails miserably and Ace ends up taking over telling him to go sit in time out with Sabo). Tl;dr Luffy is the cuddliest most quality time enjoying fucker around and I STAND on it.

It’s hard being the silliest ol’ chap on the block.

ASL ‘Merica AU where Ace constantly beats himself up about not being able to live with his brothers during the semester. As rough and tough as he would like to appear, he calls them every day, RELIGIOUSLY, and sometimes multiple times a day (Luffy misses him so he doesn’t mind at all, hell sometimes Luffy calls Ace back to back just to yap. Sabo finds it endearing how much Ace cares, but he will NEVER admit it due to their ongoing older brother rivalry and also his pride). He is such a big softie, and everyone who knows him knows all about his brothers (he carries ALL of their school/his fav pics in his wallet or bag. I mean from THE WEEK that they met. His self-introduction isn’t complete without showing at least one pic of him and his brothers). One night he calls them at like 3am, absolutely out his damn mind WASTED (Luffy and Sabo are laughing their asses off, bc Ace is an EMOTIONAL drunk), just to rant about how much he values their presence and feels like he needs to be there for them more. Sabo calls him back FIRST thing in the morning at like 7am (Sabo hopes he wakes Ace up out of his hangover nap just because Sabo wants to be as annoying as humanly possible in the shortest amount of time), and Ace is SO embarrassed. Not even a hi or hello, the first thing Sabo hears on the line is Ace’s groggy ass voice mumbling:

“I will fucking kill you if you utter a single fucking word.”

And what does Sabo say (the little shit)?

“Aww, just wanted to call my big brother on this fine morning and ask him how it felt to be a complete wet rag. I almost gagged this morning; I mean you really laid it on thick. ‘I miss you guys’ and ‘tell Luffy not to get into too much trouble’ or, maybe even my personal favorite, ‘don’t overwork yourself Sabo and make sure to sleep and eat well. If you die I’ll drag you back down and kill you myself’. You’ve gone soft I fear… and the sobbing?? I mean really you’ve outdone yourself.”

Ace would see red if he wasn’t on the verge of vomiting (and if Sabo’s impression of him wasn’t mildly hilarious). All Sabo hears (over his own laughter ofc) is a slew of curses and pained groans accompanied by heavy footfalls before the line cuts with a final venomous, “Fuck you.”

When Luffy bombards the ASL group chat a few hours later with a chipper voice message detailing how he just casually finished running from the cops, Ace is bout ready to book a flight back. The only thing that stops him is Luffy sending a quick:

“Oh! I love you too Ace, I never got to say it back because you kept crying like a little baby!”

Of course, seconded by Sabo with a little heart reaction and a slew of laughing emojis (Sabo may not say it directly often, but Ace thinks the heart reaction is enough). Despite the raging embarrassment (and the mild murderous intent) he felt at that moment, his lips quirked up into a smile as he read it. He may let the bullying slide just this once (he has gone soft, but maybe he doesn’t mind it).

Masterlist!

ASL ‘Merica AU where Sabo is a straight A+ to almost failing gifted kid burnout warrior who goes to college for PoliSci (he is a raging socialist and also fucking insane actually, the craziest). He is the student government president on campus when he goes to college, and the Dean HATES HIM; he KEEPS GETTING ELECTED THOUGH. He fucks with the dean PURPOSELY and acts like he has no fucking clue he is driving the poor man insane. He is in for his masters at 21, and despite being quite the important figure on campus (he literally met the governor for lunch and later keyed his car, secretly ofc) he is absolutely unhinged and criminal in his activities. Ace is a delinquent who ONLY gets to stay in school because he makes ok grades (he is a GOD at literally anything crafty or homemaking-y but sucks at school cause unfair skill testing is a state requirement. Sewing, printmaking, art, photography, jewelry making, carpentry, fashion, pottery, stop motion; you name it and Ace is going fucking insane in the studio. He ends up mentoring for welding and jewelry making, and he goes to trade school. Everyone there is surprised at how polite and well-mannered he is cause he dresses like a SLUT. He acts business casual but dresses like he just got back from an LA bender), and Luffy fails miserably at everything but Biology, specifically entomology and ethnobotany, but he is like a child genius in those (his special interests are bugs and food basically, which is also how he ends up meeting Sanji; a quirked up french (he is from Manhattan) boy goated with the sauce, the sauce in question being béchamel). Luffy is a freshman in for… you guessed it! An Entomology and Biology (they did not have ethnobotany; he whined so hard until Sabo threatened to key the Dean’s car, and Ace had to stop them) double major, and the ONLY reason he hasn’t failed out is because he is so freakishly smart at his majors’ classes despite failing every other class. He SUCKS at chemistry and advanced calc though (he needs to pass them for his majors), which is how he ends up getting tutoring from this absolute nerd in highschool (Choppa) and his adoptive dad (Franky). Also Sanji has an even specialer interest than Luffy foodwise and Luffy really admires him because of that.
