refusing to acknowledge phan for the relationship that it is in the big 2025 is crazy work. I saw someone on here recently asking for a "community for those that don't ship phan" and called the act of shipping dan and phil "speculating" as if dan himself hasn't said "it was more than just romantic" drawn "d❤️p" on a livestream and likened them to popular romantic ships such as "ineffable husbands" and nick and charlie from heartstopper. look at what dan and phil were texting each other on PUBLIC forums in the early 2000s. rewatch BIG. rewatch "DAN AND PHIL GOING AWAY Q&A" in which they literally tell us they are not qualified to give advice on "getting through a break up." phil lester himself reblogged a shipping war against jedus. they have designed their forever home together. like, at this point, deliberately refusing to acknowledge the well-known and real RELATIONSHIP that dan and phil share borders on homophobia. if this were a straight couple would you really be second guessing whether or not they are together?

this isn't the 2010s anymore; get over yourself

an incomplete list of one piece asl fics you probably haven't read but totally should

(aka asl fic rec list specifically focused on obscure or undiscovered fic bc wow more people should read these. y'all come and enjoy the spoils of my hyperfixation i have been In The Trenches)

divided into a couple sections based on level of obscurity. i'm determining that based on # of bookmarks at time of writing this so if you click on a fic and it has way more bookmarks than the category says it should i choose to take personal credit for all of them.

almost none of my bookmarks are public bc i'm shy so while i do have all of these bookmarked i don't affect the numbers. which i feel mildly bad about, hence making this rec list lmao.

note that when i say these are asl fics what i mean is they're about asl, not that all of asl actually appear.

Not Actually That Obscure:

(51-100 bookmarks)

Hellfire by Reign_of_Rayne (@one-piece-drabbles) (47177 words)

this should NOT have this few bookmarks what the hell. everything else here is oneshots and then there's this glorious 40k+ fic almost entirely focused on asl just languishing in obscurity? y'all. come on.

admittedly that may be because it's a time loop fic that starts during the Very Darkest Loop but guys, guys. it's so good. and it has a happy ending. the dark stuff makes the happy ending more satisfying. it's about the ✨catharsis✨.

read this fic.

might turn to fire by merikai (3580 words)

ace runs into sabo while failing to infiltrate a marine base. sabo then shows up at marineford. it's a fix-it you know how these work

if you're like me and love nothing more than reading 50 nearly identical marineford fix-its in a row this is the fic for you. pretty good as these fics go too, so definitely worth a read.

(your) soul in my skin by literally-in-too-many-fandoms (My5tic_Lali) (@literally-in-too-many-fandoms) (12075 words)

sabo gets captured and sees ace's ghost. who doesn't love a good ghost ace fic amirite. he also gets tortured but dw it's not super explicit, more just there to justify the ghost-seeing.

lightning turns sawdust gold by younglegends (@kerumie) (5900 words)

ok so teeeechnically this has 104 bookmarks as of me writing this but i legally cannot make an asl fic rec list and not put this one on it. i've reread this fic like 15 times and that is not hyperbole.

sabo and ace reunion where they run into each other on some random island. one of the rare ones that draws it out a little instead of just instantly having sabo remember everything. sosososo good and everyone should read it.

Moderately Obscure:

(11-50 bookmarks)

Empty Graves by Reign_of_Rayne (@one-piece-drabbles) (3001 words)

ghost ace. you agree.

ok but fr this is a great fic. fun little oneshot about sabo post eating the fruit getting haunted. more melancholy than most ghost ace fics i've seen but i really like it.

i'm not here (this isn't happening) by soulenmity (@soulemnity) (1545 words)

fun and joyful little oneshot set in the immediate aftermath of one of those aus where luffy dies at marineford instead of ace. sorry did i say fun and joyful i meant soul-crushing-

yeah it's basically just 1500 words of ace having a mental breakdown on sabo (who he thinks he's hallucinating)

Hide and Seek by chez_levi (4625 words)

your standard "sabo shows up just in time" marineford fix-it only it's law pov of sabo in the immediate aftermath failing epically to adult and hiding from ace in assorted cupboards for the next week. also pokes at The Lami Thing which i know we all enjoy

all that's left is a ghost of you by merikai (1284 words)

seraphim ace au. you agree.

no but for real. great fic we as a fandom need to come together and write several hundred more exactly like it. i know egghead is still recent but this should be a staple trope.

for whom i have lived by soulenmity (@soulemnity) (5411 words)

android au! sabo is human and ace and luffy are androids. ace pov of him slowly gaining emotions and free will, fun feel-good fic set while they're all kids, ends with canon divergence preventing sabo's amnesia.

Home (Liar's Redux) by shadowspires (5311 words)

sabo goes back to dawn after marineford. koala is also there. fellow grief enjoyers will love this one. (the other one piece fics by this author are also great btw. there aren't many so there's no excuse not to have read all of them tbh)

Actually Obscure:

(1-10 bookmarks)

tigers blood by younglegends (@kerumie) (6500 words)

sabo has a fever dream after eating the mera mera no mi and ace is there. i'm in love with every one piece fic by this author tbh they're all so good and it's a crime how obscure they are. one of those authors who does single sentence uber vague summaries and then you click out of curiosity and wake up three days later in a freshly dug grave that may or may not be your own. you get me.

(Please Don't) Swallow Me Whole by Solena2 (@droppingartintotheinfinite) (2285 words)

oh wow who could this mysterious and sexy author be… what a mystery. i suppose the world may never know.

fun little piece about sabo eating the mera mera no mi. goes hard into logia-based body horror and The Fire Thing. contains both metaphors for grief and explicit grief. also ghost ace is there.

Undiscovered:

(No bookmarks)

the thing about fics with no bookmarks is that all of them are weird as fuck in some way. like bad fics still get bookmarks most of the time. the stuff that gets nothing is the stuff that was too esoteric for any of the people sorting by recent that day.

as such: these fics will either do absolutely nothing for you or completely rewire your brain chemistry.

two left. by Aibhilim (@aibhilin-atibeka) (14 words)

this is a haiku. straight up a normal haiku. it makes me insane

(hey see what i did there? that's the same length as the fic. idk how it's good. the author may be a wizard.)

untitled 6 by caerte_antmmore (798 words)

weird little atmospheric piece about sabo remembering after marineford. not technically poetry but very poetic in vibe. i'm kind of obsessed with this one ngl

The Lighthouse by pouringskies (2136 words)

ok so all of these are weird but this one is Weird. it's tagged as "lovecraft style" and i've never read lovecraft in my life but i can only assume that's why it's Like That. not lovecraft as in lovecraftian horror to be clear, this is not a horror fic. idk if i'd say this fic is necessarily Good but it sure is doing something. if you're like me and like weird fic you should read this one. if "actually unironically reads like a fever dream" isn't your preferred vibe maybe skip it though.

–

ok that's all the fics. (...for now.) now it's your turn 🫵

send me cool obscure one piece fics. doesn't have to be asl just anything you like that isn't super well known (or isn't on ao3) so i can read them. feel free to send me your own stuff too if you want. you can also send recs for non-obscure fics but the odds i'll have already read them are much higher lmao.

also tell me if y'all'd be interested in more rec lists bc i have So Goddamn Many bookmarks man. esp for one piece it makes me insane. tell me what you're looking for and i will do my best to provide.

thinking about the sheer amount of grief and tragedy ella had to go through before anything could be done to make change. sure, things worked out in the end, but first she had to experience some of the worst horrors in the world. there’s something profound about that, i think. profoundly unfair. you may be able to get justice in the end, but only after unspeakable atrocities have been committed

idk. just.

thinking about the grief of existing in that little pocket between harm and justice. you’re there with a broken heart and only if you can continue on do you have a chance of maybe making things right
