Summary
Thirteen-year-old Luffy is left behind in Foosha while one brother becomes a king and the other burns across the seas. When Red-Haired Shanks docks, Luffy sees his chance to prove himself, but desperation leaves a scar and a lesson written in blood.
Strength, Shanks tells him, isn't about proving you can bleed; it's about holding your line when the world tries to break you.

Summary
Ace is Whitebeard’s son in truth, Sabo is Goa’s king in name, and Luffy is the reason they survive the world at all.
One choice rewrites everything: Dawn Island’s embargo, the rise of Queen’s Gambit, the survival of a Celestial Dragon turned king. In the shadows of the Whitebeards and the World Government, two brothers carve empires, while the third grows up believing freedom is still possible.

Summary
“Hungry,” Luffy announces, like hunger is news, like it’s not the constant state of existence on this mountain.
Ace looks at this tiny person who’s supposedly his brother now and feels something crack in his chest. Just a little, enough to let light into places that have been dark since before he had words for darkness.

Summary
The eyes were her first sign—eyes that had always been changeable and intense as the wind off the sea, stripped down to harsh inverted black and white, staring into her soul over the bar.
Shanks may not be entirely himself, but Makino refuses to let him be lost without a fight. A story in ten drabbles.

Summary
(A self indulgent re-imagining of a highly visual show. No knowledge of RWBY is really required, but you should watch it anyways. It's good.)
In the world of Remnant, monsters known as the creatures of Grimm flood the wilderness, intent on wiping out all of mankind. In response, the four kingdoms created specialized Huntsman academies to train the next generation in the ways of combat. While in training, students are put into groups of four and given titles made up from the first letter of each of their names. Some day they'll grow to become protectors of their respective nations, fighting for the good of the people and warding off injustice.
In the present day, Ruby Rose, a young girl living in the kingdom of Vale, finds herself being unexpectedly accepted into one of these academies and given the position of leader in team RWBY (Ruby). The team threatens to split up almost as soon as it's formed, and Ruby is forced to push through her anxious tendencies in order to keep her new friends together. In the midst of their reconciliation, however, these Huntsmen in training will have to take on the role of protectors earlier than expected as they become tangled in a sinister plot by Vale's biggest crime boss.

Summary
"You're not real," their baby brother insists adamantly for the fifth time, and Ace and Sabo share a look of actual distress; because Luffy is staring at them blankly, as if they should know very well they don't exist.

Summary
“I’m glad you’re here,” Luffy says when the bowl is empty. He’s clearly exhausted, his limbs and the lines of his body all drooping as though his bones have all gone wobbly. He can barely sit up on his own. “Sorry they asked you to come.”
“‘Sorry’?” Sabo parrots, not sure he heard correctly. There’s a dull sort of horror blooming in the pit of his stomach like a sick flower. “Why ‘sorry’?”
“Ace had his own adventures, and I have mine,” Luffy mumbles, drifting off again. “You have yours, too. I don’t want you to miss them. I don’t want you to miss anybody. Or to… be here when you’d rather be…”
“Luffy—”
“Free,” Luffy manages. “Sabo’s supposed to be free.”

Summary
“What did you pray for?” Shanks asked, poking at the baby fat filled cheek. Luffy swatted at him with a scoff.
He pursed his lips, “For Ace.” He said, casually, like it hadn’t swept the rug from out under Shanks and caused his gait to falter, entirely. He was frozen, in response. Luffy continued for several seconds until he realised the adult at his side was no longer there. He turned, perplexed, watching Shanks with a befuddled expression. Shanks held no rebuttal. “What’s wrong?”
“Why…” he almost didn’t want to ask. “Why Ace?” Luffy’s stare was long and hard. And for the first time, since meeting Luffy on that fateful day, all the way past the chaos of the Grandline, in the waters of the East Blue—Shanks could not place the expression that overtook Luffy’s supple features.
Alternatively, the story where Shanks and Luffy take steps on an arduous path to closure.
