Summary
It’s a dog-eat-dog world in the Terminal. If you don’t want to get killed, you have to kill first, or else you’re stuck running until you escape or you die a prey’s death.
Luffy is seven years old.
Ace was that age when he first ended someone’s life.
Ace… doesn’t want Luffy to know what it feels like to be stained the way he and Sabo had been. He thinks he’d much rather save Luffy the trouble of such horrors.
He doesn’t get very far.
(when a child learns what it is to take a life, consequences follow.)

Summary
“King,” he murmured, putting his forehead to his feet. He felt overcome, undone. His hands trembled as they closed around the captain’s ankles. “My king.”
Newgate’s eyes were set on him like stones.
“Rise, Ace,” he ordered. “No son of mine will bow so low.”

The most fundamental truth Nami knows is her mother, bleeding out of her skull.
The second, clear as her mother's eyes, staring blankly at the sky, is that it's up to her now.
(Nami, post-Wano: on responsability, survival, and Luffy.)

Summary
“Are you working on something cool today, Franky?” Chopper asks.
“Hell yeah. A whole bunch of stuff. Gonna need an extra pair of hands.”
“I can help!” Luffy blurts out eagerly.
Franky strikes a pose. “You’re the best, captain. But!” He swivels and Usopp realizes, with a pleasant jolt, that Franky’s pointing at him. “I’ma need the sharpest eyes on board for what I have planned. You’re up, bro.”
“Me?” Usopp asks, despite the finger already telling him as much.

Summary
“Yes, I’m the love cook. As in, the cook of love,” Sanji declares, completely unashamed even as Nami looks faintly sick from just being in the presence of such cheesy sincerity. “What’s love got to do with marriage?”
“Plenty of things, Cook-san.” Robin smiles, leaning her elbow atop the barrel Sanji brought up from the hold to serve as a table given that they currently have none. Her eyes are twinkling. “Some might say that marriage relies on love as its foundation.”
Or, how many times can someone fake marry their crewmates? More than you’d think!

Summary
Luffy finds a dragon at the bottom of Sanji's teapot and Sanji won't tell him he sees only the wet tangle of black leaves in a halfhearted swirl. His attention is on the dishes from dinner waiting in the sink, and the pie crust for tomorrow's dessert.
"I see it, why can't you?" Luffy asks anyway, knowing.
"I see it," says Sanji.

Summary
She looks at him, focusing her will into reaching out and brushing a lock of his hair out of his eyes. “The last time I existed, I was holding you. Sometimes I forget, and start to look for you. My will is strong. Garp forgets too. We wake up and start looking for the baby. For you, Ace.”
“I’m not a baby anymore.”
“Logically, I know that. but only in the sense that it has been nine years since I stopped existing, so you must be nine years old now.” She cups his cheek. “Sometimes I look at you and have no idea who you are.”
The sentiment strikes a pang of fear into Ace and when he looks at Rouge she offers no comfort, staring at him with the same aloof expression she’s had all his life. He had thought—He had thought she was just reserved, too cool to react. Now he’s seized by the fear that this might mean she’s just been… ambivalent to him this entire time.
Ace feels tears rolling down his cheeks, and it’s only because she isn’t real, that he lets her see them. “I’m your baby,” he says, choked up, “Mama, I’m your baby.”

(And then, "Well, we never used that label for it so I don't think I'd really describe myself as- what do you mean two.")--
Or: Shanks and Benn spend an evening at a bar in Goa in hopes of some private time away from certain impressionable young eyes. Ace happens to choose the same establishment as a good place to ask people about their opinions on the Pirate King's hypothetical kid.

“It can’t be Sanji,” says the one called Usopp. He sounds shocked.
What an odd thing to say.
The black-hair man cocks his head like a bird. “If you’re Sanji, what’s that thing on your head?”

Sanji gets de-aged.

where nothing hurts and nothing breaks by taizi for impossi_bull

Summary
Sanji tries to imagine Yonji carrying anything for him at all just to be nice. The daydream falls apart instantly, because Yonji only ever took things from Sanji to break them.
“Do you promise you’ll give it back?” he musters the courage to ask, clinging to the cookbook a kind old woman just sold him, unwilling to let it go without making sure. She had smiled and said she was certain her family’s recipes would be in good hands with him and Sanji doesn’t want to prove her wrong before he gets a chance to even try. “You have to promise.”
Zoro gazes down at him with that inscrutable look on his face he’s worn all day. He could probably take the book from Sanji pretty easily but he doesn’t yank it away or twist his wrist until he lets go. They just stand there, sizing each other up. Sanji’s nerves mount with every second but he doesn’t back down.
Yonji would have hurt him already and laughed about it. The first mate of the Strawhat crew simply says, after enough time that Sanji knows he’s taken it seriously, “Promise.”

“These,” Sanji replied dully, raising his arms. “Handcuffs.”

Summary
"Eyelash," Hawks explains, retracting his hand, molten gold eyes pouring into Dabi's own.
Hawks stares into him, unblinking, expression unreadable. Dabi can't breathe, feels dizzy under the scrutiny. Hawks looks down briefly as he slides his free hand onto the top of Dabi's thigh, then peers up at Dabi through the filter of his eyelashes. Dabi's lungs are already having issues, but then the hand on his thigh squeezes and his brain stops working, too. He feels a weak, strangled noise escape his throat.
Hawks grins.
Dabi should have maybe thought this through.

Summary
Kim took a long drink of his beer. It tasted watery and bad, exactly what he needed. “Why have you been coming here every night for a month?”
“Intellectual stimulation. And I wanted to see you again.”
“Intellectual stimulation?” Kim was struck by how different this man was sober: playful and charming and not nearly as pathetic. A proper flirt, his voice and posture expressive, exuding warmth. Kim had liked him as a sad drunk, but relatively sober? Oh, Kim liked him.
Kim and Harry meet eight years before Martinaise at a cruising bar where Kim never wears his glasses.
