Sundown - Moonlight - Daybreak - Starlight Time passes, but we're still together.

There's a tweet I can't find right now that says something along the lines of 'once when I was 20 I slept with a 40+ guy and I have to tell you that contrary to what it might seem I definitely was the predator' and my first thought was Shanks and Benn? I can kind of imagine Shanks having a bit of a self destructive streak because something, something abandonment issues and the fact that any kind of attention is still attention. He's lucky that he's got such an immense talent for surrounding himself with good people and that he convinces Benn to be his first mate-- Benn, who I imagine realizing about Shanks' personal baggage and stopping / slowing the fuck down any ill timed attempts of seduction even when his dumbass of a captain keeps looking at him like:

(This is definitely Benn helping him with the scars on his face and Shanks definitely not trying to doe eye him)

Defying the Future

I wrote a thing. It was supposed to be a short OneShot that would answer the question of what the Redhair Pirates are doing while their captain is in the Holy Land. Well... 20k words later I remembered that I'm not good at keeping stories short.

Also, hi, I'm wiriting again... fling stuff at me, if you like?

Defying the Future (a One Piece fanfiction on AO3)

All Shanks wanted to do was find the devil's fruit, get back to his crew, and stop pretending to be a god's knight. He was not on the same level as his brother. But he couldn't get back on the Red Force until he had the legendary fruit, because his observation haki had told him a terrifying future that would happen otherwise. While he was in Mary Geoise, his crew waited... and waited, and for some it took more of a toll to wait than for others. Shanks had to face the consequences of his absence once he got back.

Pairing: Shanks/Benn Beckman

Propaganda under the cut.

Propaganda for Shanks x Buggy:

What if we were childhood friends who gave up our drama for each other then never saw each other again for years

What can I say, I'm a fellow shuggy truther too 🤝

Shanks obviously adores Buggy, and Buggy is so tsundure~! Mr 'I hate Shanks'-but-will-take-every-opportunity-to-talk-about-him-and-be-with-him.

Oden says in his journal that he can't tell if they're friends of enemies, and I just love that. Plus when you add in the revelation about Shanks and Buggy in the recent chapters.

They're childhood friends. They're exes. They've been married for 20 years. They're opposites. They're the same. They're silly goofy guys who make me want to cry my heart out. Red/Blue is always meant to be.

Buggy """""HATES""""" Shanks. This hate is so strong that he WILL yell at this red-haired bastard despite the fact that he is a coward, who is terrified of all the Emperors. Everyone thinks this is strange. However, when you grow up with said Emperor on the same boat, watching him stumble over his feet as he's trying to learn to use a sword, stuck scrubbing the whole deck because he was stupid enough to prank "Dark King" Rayleigh, and make that same stupid pouty face every time his Conqueror's Haki doesn't do anything because he is an itty bitty child, most of that fear gets pretty quelled. Also, that same fucker lost an arm because he's a DUMBASS and he deserves to be made fun of for it (not because Buggy is worried and missed him not at all no no Shanks is just DUMB and needs to be TOLD he is dumb more. But just by Buggy. Because Buggy has known his idiocy forever. He has earned the right to yell at this stupid, stupid Emperor for being a self-sacrificing fool and for giving away that stupid hat and... Wait, hang on, when did this bastard get hot!? WHAT THE FUC-) And Shanks just keeps smiling at Buggy and his antics because he has 100% been in love with him since they were children (his actions while they were on the Roger pirates are the DEFINITION of pigtail-pulling as flirting) and he is just happy to see that he's safe while being exactly the same larger-than-life clown he always knew. He would gladly give up his life of sluttery (that I am convinced this man has. Just look at how he exists) if Buggy would just agree to join his crew, but will not push him if he doesn't want to. He just loves his pretty clown from a distance and waits. TLDR: Buggy is mad that he's in love with Shanks and Shanks just likes existing with and/or annoying Buggy (they come as a pair). GOD I just love childhood friends to lovers bro. Just let the cabin boys kiss.

[Spoiler Warning] Red and Blue gays! Emperor husbands! Childhood friends to enemies to lovers!

Propaganda for Shanks x Benn:

Daddies hot

A (somewhat) idiot captain, and a calm, cool and collected first mate! Oda literally stated that if Shanks was the sun, then Benn would be his moon. They balance each other out very nicely and I know that one will always take care of the other.

Classic captain/first mate ship. Beckman got all white hair at 50 for dealing with Shanks I know that. There's a part in film Red when Beckman calls Uta "our daughter" that activated my monkey brain.

Your honor they are married! The domestic fluff is all there. Benn loves his captain even though he is a handful and is always there to support him. Shanks has also followed in his parents footsteps and honoring the tradition of falling in love with your first mate. But I mean honestly can you blame him. Plus they raised a kid together!

SHANKSBENN!
