Lil luffy overprotecting his first friend is so cute

I have so many useless headcannons with different ships cluttering my head, one of these days I'll just write a really bad crackfic and shove them all in it so I can free up space for things I could put in the fanfic I actually wanted to write but never will.

I have an Acelu fic idea. Listen it's a slow burn, friends to lovers, heavy angst, hurt/comfort and eventual romance.

Post-Marine ford, Ace lives, but when Ikainu went to strike him, Luff --at the very last second-- moved Ace, and they both took the impact. Imagine Ace and Luffy's side being burnt. Luffy took the brunt of the attack. Everything else proceeds as usual. Shanks arrived to stop the war, and Blackbeard stole Whitebeard's Devil Fruit. Ace saw all of it but couldn't do anything since he's gravely injured, and what's worse is that Luffy's on the verge of death. Law still operates on Luffy, and now Ace and they both wake up on Rusukaina.

Ace wakes up first, fueled by wanting to go back and hunt down Blackbeard again. He has learned nothing. Luffy's not a priority in his mind. He wants to avenge his father. When he tries to leave the island, Rayleigh reveals that Shanks is sailing around, and he immediately stops Ace, telling him that if he wants to defeat Blackbeard, then he's the first obstacle, because while Ace was out, Blackbeard was named as an Emperor. So, effectively, Ace is stuck on the island with Luffy and Rayleigh, a man who talks about Roger, and Ace hates Roger.

It's not helping that Marco is there, waiting for Ace to be ready, because Whitebeard's men are rallying around Ace, the last symbol of Whitebeard. There are men who want to follow Ace, now more than ever, since he was revealed to be Gol D. Roger's son. Marco tells him that Whitebeard planned to make him the successor. Ace doesn't take this well. He's convinced it's because he's Roger's son and that he didn't earn this. In Ace's mind, everything is boiling down to his bloodline.

Meanwhile, Luffy still hasn't woken up. Ace is getting restless, and he's feeling himself on the verge of doing something stupid, really stupid. Everyone is keeping him sane, Marco, Shanks, and Rayleigh. Luffy wakes up and Ace realizes that he can't lose Luffy. He genuinely loves his brother so much, and Luffy is the only person in his life who sees him not as an accessory to Roger but as his own person.

Overall, I've mainly want to focus on Ace's inner turmoil, all of his self-doubt and insecurities, and him prioritizing his revenge over his connection to Luffy, Rayleigh holding a mirror to him and Roger, Ace finding out more about his biological parents, Shanks mentoring Ace in a way by teaching him that revenge isn't everything. While all of this is happening, Luffy decides to make his love more apparent. He's sharing a bed with Ace, hugging and kissing his cheek. It's really innocent and sweet, small things, but Ace doesn't really see it as anything more than brotherly and childish,something he doesn't need. He doesn't need comfort. He wants revenge. It's not until Luffy kisses him on the lips that he panics that he forgets his hatred, but the memory of Whitebeard's death and the countless men that died for him bring him back. He sees Luffy's love as a distraction....

For my sake, too, I really, really want to have Rayleigh and Ace have lots and lots of conversations. Ace learns more about Rogue through Rayleigh, and Rayleigh has the realization that he sees Roger/Rogue in Ace/Luffy, but he keeps that to himself. And, here's where the angst really, really comes in. Luffy asks Ace to sail with him, and simultaneously, Ace is given the option, through Marco, to go avenge Whitebeard. You should know that at this point, Luffy and Ace have been affectionate. Ace didn't reject Luffy's kiss. They haven't slept together yet. It's more of a comfort, but it's super intimate. So, there Ace is, choosing between Luffy and Blackbeard, and he chooses Blackbeard.... He leaves Rusukaina without telling Luffy anything. Luffy really thought Ace would pick him.

And, that's the first half of the fic. I'm thinking I'll probably name it something real on the nose, like "ignite" anyway, the rest of it is a blur because I really want to write Shanks mentoring Ace and by mentoring I mean beating the sense into Ace. I have so many thoughts in my head, but what I really, really, absolutely want is to make everyone feel how conflicted and distraught this au makes me feel. I need to transfer all my feelings to everyone else. Imagine how painful this would be, but how cathartic it will feel when Ace goes back to Luffy. like them being intimate and earnestly embracing one another, and also Strawhat Ace!!! OMG I SHOULD CALL THIS FIC "HOME"

Shankslu (pls someone write a fanfic)

Scientists conduct an experiment to crossbreed humans and animals. However,all attempts fail. The only successful specimen escapes from the laboratory, landing in the hands of a powerful farmer. Enchanted,the farmer takes the boy and hides him, fulfilling his every whim.

I like the idea that Luffy started to wear red because of Shanks…

And also, even though Nika and Joyboy already had a lot of followers, Shanks was Luffy’s first devotee.

Also also how I like to interpret the way Buggy is a clown and Shanks being naturally interested in spending time with him without being aware yet of Joyboy and how Joyboy is the “Fool who brings smile to all” (like a clown) and how it seems that Shanks was already drawn by the concept of him even before even knowing about him or meeting him
