A Mishanks/Redhawk single dad fic idea my brain is craving:
Mihawk ends up adopting a snotty brat. He tried his best to avoid this, but he still somehow ended up with one tiny Trafalgar Law intruding in his daily living space.
Shanks doesn't have kids, but he often looks after the ASL brothers on the playground. Some of the brats admire him, but he loves to tease them. Especially a tiny red head, always trying to brawl with Luffy and a recently visiting edgy kid.
While the kids are wrecking havoc, the totally adulty adults are somehow forced to acknowledge each other. They start their own kind of metaphorical dick measuring contest (turning literal).
The two aren't any better, they're even worse than the kids, tbh. Who let's themselves get riled up by some little shits? Right, these two grown ass men!
But they're old softies, deep down.
So, yes, I'm craving that chaotic found family trope.
If anyone has written or plans to write something like this, please let me know!
Otherwise I'll just park my idea here, waiting until I can get to this (only the stars will know when that will be)..
