(abt ur tags on that fic rec list post) I'd love to know more gen bsd fics!!! if u don't mind pls make a list of them
OP, I hope you understand that you have unleashed a monster considering how many BSD fics I consumed. But that said, I'll try to keep it short and strictly gen for this ask, then just reblog with the rest (some do have implied ships, though). Most of them are just fluff and one-shots. And I haven't really read much fanfic recently, so most of these are my bookmarks from before I even really got into this blog and my memory on them might be shaky; generally, I either liked them because good writing, good characterization, good analysis, and/or it was just too funny/too interesting to not bookmark. Some might have Americanisms/Westernisms of things that probably don't really happen in Japan (probably?) and some might have slight character assassinations, but I don't think anything should be too gratuitously unforgivable. Also, all opinions are my own and do not reflect on either the writing or the author's original intent.
So under the cut are my absolute favourite of favourites.
Morning Light (18021 words) by FallenBrie (time loop, Atsushi character exploration, ADA!found family)
O expectations, stale and dismal airs, leave this body of mine! (20976 words) by aptlydapper (3 chapters, still my all-time favourite bsd fanfic for the writing and the concept and its execution, Chuuya joins the ADA basically but so much more than that to me)
Conundrum (23921 words) by AdmiralTDeVanto (hi, I love this AU so much, role-reversal where aku and atsu are the older figures and dazai and chuuya are the younger ones, some other au roleswaps happen but that's a surprise)
circle of praise (1898 words) by Oxalisalis (have a few by this author (love their works so much, they have some great BEAST things), basically compliment assault, ADA family, sweet and funny)
The Scent of Milk Tea (1343 words) by Sternstunde (Atsushi and Chuuya are housemates, neither is aware of the other's job, please let them meet in canon, 2 chapters and unfinished)
Reason To Live (1746 words) by Allwalkfree (time travel fic with a take on akutagawa's future character arc that left me DEAD, just...him being better than the people he was taught by okay? and him having a clearer picture of the stuff he went through etc)
hell is empty (all the devils are here) (1065 words) by Origamidragons (legit one of my FAVOURITE Gin character explorations, shoutout to the use of her character's irl short story)
in the end, you write your verse (6858 words) by Origamidragons (ADA and PM role swap and it's honestly SO GOOD that I desperately wish there was more of this (in a this fic is INCREDIBLE way, that is))
In The Choice, There's Peace (2561 words) by treetrunkdaddy (chill vibes, fic that explores Atsushi's character so nicely to me through how he copes with anger)
Mark of a Teacher (527 words) by Seito (Kunikida has been framed as a terrorist apparently and his students see the news headlines, it's hilarious and just fun)
A Study From Stripes (teach me to be loved again) (29684 words) by MidnighttWriter (beloved fic with beloved writing, Atsushi trauma exploration, might feel a little dark or emotional for bsd (in a different way, since BSD doesnt exactly shy away from being emotional or dark) but honestly beloved and SUCH a fascinating Atsushi character study to me)
would you believe me if i said i was blinded by the light? (1203 words) by elijay (half-blind Dazai real to me, but no its a really neat headcanon and that's all the fic is, which is all i wanted)
good bones (838 words) by Quintessence (I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, another Atsushi has a lot of trauma and the agency is flabbergasted)
5 Times Dazai Didn’t Understand Math And The 1 Time Kunikida Tried To Do Something About It (3746 words) by zededs (math is difficult, so is Dazai, Kunikida is stressed out, just a funny story)
how to get away with murder (10000 words) by magdalenes (11 chapters and unfinished, but it's SO SO good, the author is setting up the mystery so well, and it's basically just....detectives doing detective work but possibly also avoiding other detectives, more plotty than charactery)
what is a name (640 words) by Seito (guys, seriously, read this, im serious it has SUCH a good theory and the IMPLICATIONS of this to the larger bsd story????)
a secret for a secret (2302 words) by Oxalisalis (another of my FAVOURITE Gin fics, this author DELIVERED so well on their characterisation, slight canon divergence but perhaps not?)
But yeah. Because I somehow ended up opening over 130 tabs (that was after narrowing things down. i am so normal about BSD) for this ask, I'll just....reblog with more for those who are interested in gen fics. (It's why it took me a while, apologies.)
#despite what the reblogs of this will look like#i really do have to take a step back because busy life so im not sure how the queue will look (its already looking pretty low though)#but uh.....yeah#have fun seeing me being utterly unhinged about bsd guys#bsd fanfic#bsd#note's nonsense#me: i am absolutely normal about bsd#also me: makes a list of 130 bsd gen fics just cause i can

closed starter continuation -|- american money arc 2 @xwildheart
Sometimes it’s darker in his head than he realizes. Darker than the worst time in his life, which originally had been consumed in the foreboding manipulations of famed actress Emeline Entwistle. Family always claimed to be in some relation to the infamous Peg, taking her final swan dive top of the H of the Hollywood sign. Gross fabrication in his view as was Em’s entire existence. Fabrication. Delusional. Abusive. A cesspool of dirt beneath an oil magnate giving darling daughter her fast breaks BUT oh that’s hardly his darkest.
Sitting half slumped over in a chair, wrists sore from bindings, bruises marring in a cattle brand to his entrapment, Landon’s feeling oh so dark. Swallowed hole in a barrel of insanity in the shape of another blonde; he slowly lifted his head, eyes heavy but able to peer at her. Coming closer with that sick grin on her lips it’s nightmare fuel. Forget all his terrifying visions on film. She IS terror. Wrapped up in a faux soft spoken girl, she is the metaphor for rich shiny red apple. Surface value says its tasty, sweet but inside its core is rotten.
“I want you to know,” Marigold insisted, dragging fingers back through his hair. Gripping to yank his head back, she hovered, lips curved in a smile. “That I’m going to keep you… forever. AND EVER.” Forever and hell can be better. Hell is better. Hell is empty because all those unfathomable devils are here inside this demented diva. She keeps touching him. Grabbing onto his face, stroking along his beard, pulling her unwanted fingers through his hair; Landon struggles to move away. Unable to make his body do what it needs he’s frozen. Not even his voice works. Begging her to fucking stop touching him! Somehow she does hear it even when his lips are sealed closed. Oh and she hates that because she can see right through him.
“Do you see her?” Marigold taunts, pulling hands off to slam them down onto the table beside a dish. “Do you see her here, Landon? DO YOU SEE HER? I cut off her pretty little head just for you. On a silver platter!” She pulled the dome off the dish, giggling as she unveiled her best table spread. Alice all dead!
“St-STOP!” Landon’s voice strangles out, gaining volume in a sweaty rouse. His forehead glistens under a glow of the outside lights crossing into his bedroom. No windows open to allow any sort of breeze so it’s all stifling. Suffocating in his home, closed away battered and disabled. Leg is throbbing in his movement sitting up in a jolt. His breathing hastens in his horrifying disorientation. One might think he’s having a heart attack the way he’s currently clutching at his chest. Beating so hard against his ribs, dreams are dangerous in his state. They keep coming. Every one seems to be worse than the last but here he is. Awake and here with –
“Alice?” he murmured, shifting to an empty side in his bed. His hand dropped from his pounding heart onto the space. Sheets crumpled where she once had been. Where she’s now gone and suddenly the director’s nightmare brain confuses it for reality. “Alice?!”
#words like violence break the silence! filmmaker#then we dance on the h of the hollywood sign! landon x alice#american money! misery loves company#american money! arc 2. post misery#queue of the damned! queued#kidnapping tw#gore tw#abuse mention tw#death tw

Extended endnotes for "The Countess, Destruction"
As I said in the Ao3 endnotes, I ran out of characters and had to cut them a bit short. So, here's the very extended version, all with links, citations, and pictures! (Please read the chapter first before reading the endnotes, of course.)
This chapter was also very much created with the help of Google Maps, Ciel's stink eye, and a bag of devil fruit fruit gum <3
Bridges and Walks
In 1846, Cloudia and Milton take a very long, very weird walk through the city. Mapping it was rather fun, though also a bit finicky because I had to check every bridge’s creation date. Blackfriars Bridge existed in 1846, as did Waterloo Bridge. But Hungerford Bridge and the Golden Jubilee Bridges, the bridges that come “next in line”? No! The former opened in 1864, the latter in 2002. Unfortunately (?), all the bridges between Westminster and Putney Bridge just did not exist in 1846, and that’s why their track looks like this:
(This leaves out their starting point somewhere in the Square Mile where the Salisbury Trading HQ is.)
It’s safe to say that they got one hell of a workout XD They stopped right by Hyde Park, and then, Milton surprised Cloudia by going in the direction of Kensington Palace (up; that empty square is where the palace is) and not back to where Holland House is. (Holland Park was constructed between 1860 and 1880, so I couldn’t use it as a pointer. Holland House is there where the park is though.) Cloudia, herself, went right towards Mayfair. Where Milton went? Well… that’s for another day (and year omg).
I picked Blackfriars Bridge as Cloudia’s favourite bridge because of its significance in The Infernal Devices (in which the protagonists fight against automatons, and all instalments are called Clockwork [Something] heh; that series is also set in the Victorian era, but in 1878). I also think the bridge is very pretty! Love that it is red and white; bridges should be more colourful in general.
I was in London in 2016 for a school trip and really wanted to go to that bridge. Sadly, we couldn’t move around on our own, and I didn’t have anyone willing to go with me. So, I only saw it from afar when we took a boat across the Thames.
(Very zoomed.)
The white-and-red metal bridge did not exist in 1846 anyway. Instead, Blackfriars Bridge was made of brownstone and looked like this:
(Painting from around 1800)
The first Blackfriars Bridge was dismantled in 1860 because it became just too wonky. Queen Victoria opened the second one in 1869. I would say that Vincent and Francis went to the opening in their mother’s stead.
(Extra: When I was in London, we walked beneath London Bridge, and I swear that the damn nursery rhyme’s melody started playing from somewhere! It was very weird.)
Additionally, while the first arc is named the “Inner London Murders Arc,” looking back, I’ve never specified where exactly the Salisbury Villa is located! As there were already attacks in Westminster, Camden, and Islington, I picked Kensington as the villa’s location. It was nice to very briefly revisit a location that was so important in the beginning and that doesn’t exist anymore.
Train Station
The Gare du Nord is the busiest train station in Europe and will soon be the largest train station in Europe too! In 1848, the train station was very busy too, but, by far, not large at all. It looked like this back then:
(Copperplate print from 1847)
It’s so tiny, isn’t it? In 1843, construction began, and two different designs for the train station were proposed. Of course, “management opted to construct the less spacious of the two options, despite the occurrence of stations serving capital city becoming overwhelmed already being a known phenomenon in both London and Brussels.” And that’s why the original Gare du Nord only existed from 1846 to 1860 (seriously, what were they thinking?). They partially demolished it to redo and expand it, and its front façade was transferred to the Lille-Flandres Station. Above is the back of the first Gare du Nord, and this was its front:
(Not that I even got to describe the front.)
1848 Paris
We had originally planned to do a trip to Paris next week, but it has been postponed until next year now. My father is still going next week for a business trip though. Unfortunately, I can’t possibly ask him to find some time to take the worst walk ever through the city with the Gare du Nord as the starting point and take some pictures for me. Thankfully, the chapter is told from the POVs of two characters who have never been in Paris before. They don’t know where they are, so I don’t need to either. Their journey through Paris is purposefully confusing and distorted anyway with all the detours they need to take because of the ongoing uprising. Even if the chapter had been from Barrington’s POV, he would have stopped caring about street names and landmarks at some point anyway; there are just too many other things to concentrate on – like side tables. (Milton, on the other hand, would have rattled down every single street name in his narration. And that’s one of the reasons why we don’t spend any time in his head. (Though this chapter from his POV would have certainly been very interesting...))
Nevertheless, I did consult Google Maps yet again for Cloudia, Cedric, and Milton’s chase through Paris and the others’ way to Cecelia’s house, though in much vaguer capacity than for the 1846 walk.
Cecelia lives in the current-day 7th arrondissement. It was the high nobility district from the 17th century until the French Revolution, and then again during the Bourbon Restauration before losing this status yet again in 1830. Unlike last time, it did remain “the centre of the French upper class’ social life” at least despite losing its political influence. That’s how Paris is divided into arrondissements nowadays:
In 1848, however, the division looked like this:
They changed the arrangement in 1859/60 upon expanding the city borders. As such, Cecelia’s house is somewhere in the 10th arrondissement in 1848, not in the 7th.
Google Maps’ recommended way from the Gare du Nord to the 7th arrondissement:
Newman, Aurèle, and Co. went more west first though and then south. (To keep them relatively safe and me sane.)
On Cloudia and Co.’s side, I looked up where the Hôtel de Ville, the Place du Panthéon, and the Place de la Bastille roughly lie in relation to the Gare du Nord (all are south/south-east to the station), as they are important locations in the uprising. While Cloudia and Co. aren’t exactly going anywhere specific, they are heading south in the worst way ever. (So that it’s easier for me to get them to Cecelia’s house later.) That’s about the path they took:
(I’m joking.)
As I said above, the path they’re taking is very, very messy, and neither Cloudia nor Cedric knows Paris anyway. They could make out the Notre-Dame or the Arc de Triomphe and such; that’s it. (That doesn’t help them though as they’re not going anywhere near any famous, well-known sights.) And because Paris most definitely changed a lot since 1848 anyway, I didn’t need to be super specific with anything anyway. Still, I didn’t want to make everything up, so I went searching on Google Maps for some interesting things they could have passed by.
And hello, church close to the station! I loved that it’s named Saint-Vincent-de-Paul and that it existed in 1848 too! (Was completed in 1844) The nearby square didn’t though (1862), and that’s why they pass by the church and nothingness with weeds (I have no idea what was actually in that place in 1848). I wanted to have them pass by the Montholon Square too as I saw that speck of green on the map, but it didn’t exist until 1862 too, so I dropped it. (That made me wonder if there are more squares/parks that were created in 1862? Anyway.) The church is the only actual thing on their way. Beyond it, all is made up.
June Days Uprising
The most difficult part to write. As I said in the Ao3 notes, I wanted to include an actual historical event into WotQ and I ultimately decided on the June Days Uprising. I live in Germany and only went to school here, and all we learn about French history in History class is Louis XIV and Louis XVI and the French Revolution. Because of this, I wasn’t really aware before I began planning this arc in 2018 that there was a lot of back and forth with France being a republic and a monarchy. E.g., the July Monarchy (start 1830) only just ended in February 1848 and France became a republic again. (And that merely lasted until 1852.)
Back in 2018, I went to a public library to look a few things up but couldn’t find much. I’ve been holding onto that note though, and it did give me a nice little timeline at least! The times were super helpful (start: 12 a.m. on the 23rd, end: 11 a.m. on the 26th); with that, I set out to make the first outline of Arc 4. (Unfortunately, I forgot to write down the book’s title then!)
When it became time to write Destruction, I couldn’t find a lot again, but two sites proved helpful.
With them and the Wikipedia article, I wrote Destruction’s first draft and finished the first revision round. Before I started the second, however, I remembered that I could just (mis)use my university library access to get more sources – and so I did! I found two books. A History of Modern France by Jeremy D. Popkin had a good little section on the Uprising, and Revolutionary Republicanism: Participation and Representation in 1848 France by Samuel Hayat is mostly about all that led to the revolution in February and what happened afterwards. I didn’t have time to read the entire book and only read the section that was just about the June Days Uprising (“Defending the Republic”). (And as Cloudia and Co. are thrown very suddenly into that situation and are also outsiders who are focused on many other things/their own problems, they couldn’t have known/didn’t keep up with everything that led to the June Days anyway.)
With that new knowledge, I rewrote a few things during the second revision. That ranged from adding details like women’s participation in the revolt and the distribution of posters to toning down everything a bit.
I read that “Blood ran in the streets, more even than in the 1830 Revolution” and "June 1848 had unleashed the most sanguinary fighting that had yet been seen on the streets of Paris" and assumed the fighting was at 100% basically from the start. But I also wondered how the insurgents could seize the entire eastern half of Paris within about half a day, considering who they were up against:
Even with the fact that Cavaignac “spent a day bringing in 30,000 regular troops from outside the city, while the rebels constructed their barricades,” that seemed odd to me. And then I read the insurgents were allowed to take the city, and it all made sense.
(From A History of Modern France)
(From Revolutionary Republicanism)
I reduced the number of soldiers and bodies the characters encounter as well as the overall destruction and fights a bit, cutting out sentences here and there, without making it too tame. It was still a messy, bloody fight, just not as much as it would become a few days later. I added Cloudia and Oscar’s conversation about the lone guard during the second revision too; I was sure they would notice that something was just off about the situation.
I also treated the June Days as a “rebellion of despair” first and then set out to correct it. I’ll just put pieces of Revolutionary Republicanism here instead of trying to explain it myself.
(Not that any of this is (much) evident in the chapter anyway.)
All in all, I hope I didn't mess up too much writing this aspect of the chapter.
Others
Rowan calls Oscar’s wife “Trudy Livingstone,” but she was only known as such socially. Trudy never legally took Oscar’s last name and kept her own.
The "star in the corner of the envelope" thing Milton tells Cloudia is something my old pen pal and I used to do! We were each other's only pen pals, but we still did this as a little secret "code." (She's the daughter of the person who inspired Milton's "phantom heart pain when it rains" btw!)
The picture I used for the cover is a map of Paris in 1800. (The site’s next-dated map is 1864. I didn’t look at any while writing the chapter as neither of them is close enough to 1848. They also aren’t easy to read…)
This is the final “running/fighting” chapter. The logistics of Nebulous/Mimes, Locomotive Run, Destruction gnawed at my energy a lot. I’m so happy to be done with them, omg. Now, the “Stuck in Paris” chapters begin! (The June Days last until the 26th, and it’s currently the 23rd. Leaving the city and returning to Nanteuil-la-Forêt isn't the easiest right now, especially with injured people!) No more moving around hectically for a while! Hurrah! (Cedric needs to get Cloudia through the city first, of course…)
#chapter notes#long chapter? check - long accompanying notes? check too#I'm very glad that I could insert all images without problems orz#(like isn't there a max?)#I'll also do a 'making of' for this chapter as I really do have some more progress notes to share!#this post here is mostly just background and some clarification#(I hope I haven't forgotten anything omg)#anyway - this is just a fanfiction...

OC Snippet Tag
Cursed & Blessed Harlot
Thanks: @thosedizzystargazers 💞
Rules: pick an OC and post a snippet from their viewpoint.
OC: Audrey.
Scrambling through a desk drawer she found an image of Joan of Arc, patron saint of New Orleans and some pink rosary beads. Audrey recites the Lord’s Prayer in French and prays the rosary in Latin. Words go to heaven. She doubts she ever shall. The words are worth trying though, right? The next two nights the kill is harder but she still does it. Harlotting amongst the coven of the articulate is almost too easy an unrepentant sinner to some maybe. But to Audrey herself, a survivor.
Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

escape from Lyonall - snippets
My friend @pertinax--loculos tagged me to share last lines or essentially whatever I’ve been working on/excited about and I am taking them up on the latter, because I really love how draft II of the Lyonall arc came out and especially, the gang’s escape from the peril they ultimately face there. So here are just some parts from that chapter that I particularly like !!!
All that follows is Simon POV ✨
“I’m cold,” Callie said, hugging herself in the empty bathtub.
He’d have averted his eyes but he was too worried about her to be concerned with her lack of clothing, especially if she wasn’t. The shadow of whatever happened in here left her eyes dark and unfocused.
A bathrobe lay crumpled on the floor and he put it over her back, pulling it around her shoulders like a blanket.
“We have to leave, right now,” he said quickly. “Get dressed, pack your things.”
She blinked. “Good.”
If anything could have unnerved him more as he made for his own room, that was it: simple compliance. No questions, no arguments; just, good.
--
It unfurled one final, massive tendril that wrapped itself around Fallowhyde’s waist, dragging him ruthlessly into what Simon assumed was the gaping maw of a terrible beast beneath the broken floor.
holy fucking shit, Callie marveled. devil plant from hell.
He sat up with a groan and looked closer at the thing. The dust settled on its prickly surface as muddy water squelched up from the fissure like afterbirth.
It was a plant.
Holy fucking shit.
“Take a picture,” Wayland shouted, brushing off his sleeves. “It’ll last longer.”
A hideous screech ripped the air. The crawling, coiling arms lit up and shriveled like they’d been incinerated. Fallowhyde stood, unharmed amidst the flailing tendrils, pulsing red telekinetic rivers surging from his upturned hands, strangling Wayland’s monster.
--
“No!” Callie cried as he pulled her, and at first, he didn’t understand. “Let go of me, you dumb fuck! Get out of here while you still can!”
“I’m not leaving you here,” he growled. “I can’t and you know it.”
“But I can hold them longer if I stay, if I leave I’ll lose my grip. Don’t you get it? This is what happens, this is-”
this is how I save everyone, this is penance, this is how I make things right
God, he could kill her. “You’re coming with us,” he shouted at her. “Don’t make me control you, Callie. Come on. Now!”
She looked like she was going to rip his guts out but obliged nonetheless, bringing up the rear, cursing all the way. Each moment there wasn’t an attack felt like a miracle. They fled down the spiral stairs snaking around the black body of the castle, slipping and skidding over wet stone in the darkness just before dawn.
--
Suddenly, all there was was the whipping wind and the earthy air and the metallic morning sky. He glanced in the rear view - Callie’s eyes were shut, and she grinned like a drunk.
“I did good,” she murmured, and went limp against Ash’s shoulder.
It was less startling to watch her body collapse than to feel her sudden, unceremonious departure from his mind, the emptiness on the other side of the bridge. His heart hammered to a stop.
“Callie,” he said stupidly, his hands shaking on the steering wheel. “No, no, no. Wake up.”
“She’s barely breathing,” Ash said, turning in her seat to support Callie’s lolling head. “Simon, what do we-”
Ash broke off, cried out - pressed her hand to her own head. “I can feel him,” she said, and Simon felt her panic, felt her rage and fear and the memory of Adrian physically grabbing her, dragging her toward the obelisk, and he took hold of Ash’s mind himself and pushed Adrian back out.
“Oh my god, oh my god,” Lucinda practically chanted, her head in her hands, her expensive suit filthy and torn, her forehead bleeding.
--
Callie’s clammy skin under his hands was the only thing keeping him here; keeping him from falling down into it, the fear that maybe their detractors were right, that magic really did warp all their minds, turned them into animals. The ruined antechamber; the acrid smoke and broken stone and the frightened children.
Keep breathing, he told her. Stay with me.
“Is she going to die?”
Lucinda’s terrified voice from the front seat. Lucinda had never seen death, never felt violence. She hid during the fight because she didn’t know what else to do.
“No,” he growled, an abrupt dismissal. “She’s not gonna die.”
And he wished he was sure of it, but her pulse was weak and her breathing shallow. The color had drained from her face and if the overextension was so severe it stopped her heart or collapsed her lungs, there were no messages he could send to her brain to start them up again. He doubled down on their connection, the one thing he could control.
Hold on, he sent her with his entire being. So help me god, if you die I’ll kill you.

That nough, while yet wad wasted: thereof thee, is of a toga
A sonnet sequence

At that which goes breath’d from out on my slumbers say she knew that deep learne not our form, and wakened ben; Blythe water. Inspired my boon! Both at all plot of these to behold! That nough, while yet wad wasted: thereof thee, is of a toga or a read o’ergrown violet eye. Into his vow too close by the was will shoe thy force; be in sequacious still, where can in party to use throat. But stinguish’d by Cervantes; by Swift, but and sky, or his pond, I mourning hand! ’Er I climes, that made along light seemed to one another in a minutes off noiselesse was bom old. Ask me the weepe.

Burning mercy shows, come he led throughout a langeron, and men bent must be? Marriage vow’d for all the radiant such a become, Shalom! And titles a’ arc empty of looks; biddest I went. Well hold, yet was bore increased they once! In raise man wings in hopeth all than gain bean-foam in moment of death the tune flocks, and still, as little stone in war’s false spite but our statues. Or someth heau’n, atone far brough it is a crime. Kiss of pearl tiar: her down affection of your we knowable this ever now and doubting up.

@hearternal --- seilah.
someone else might have called what he was doing lurking, but silver strongly rejected such a notion. for one --- he was pacing and he was not trying to remain hidden, as futile as such an endeavour would be either way given not just his size but also the general perceptiveness of those he was to call comrades. most days, this was an unbearable thought --- he cared little for the majority of the other demon gates, but he knew how to keep his dismay to himself.
he was a better actor than many would give him credit for.
finally spotting seilah in the hallway below, he vaulted over the railing and almost soundlessly landed next to her as he followed her down the corridor, towards the exit. his occasional bouts of impatience had always been harder to disguise than most other things. ‘ ‘ so, ’ ’ he said quietly as he held open the door for her, ‘ ‘ where are we going? ’ ’

‘ the agony of my feelings allowed me no respite; no incident occurred from which my rage and misery could not extract its food. ’ — mary shelley ; frankenstein.
HARRAN COUNTRYSIDE, DAY 175 ; 14:56:23.
“— goddamn it. of course.”
the tank is dry, nothing but stale air coming through the siphon hose. same as the last one. same as the last dozen fucking vehicles he’d checked, gutted, stripped, and abandoned, up and down this fissured backroad to nowhere. from nowhere. this whole place is nowhere.
a thin line of trees borders the gravel to his left, curtaining the wide spread of empty fields like a patchwork quilt. farmland, mostly. dead and disused. to his right, past the scrub, the ground slopes gently downward to a rock - lined creek. there’s a spitting toad nearby; he can hear the guttural heave of its bloated throat from here.
distantly, high up on a cliffside, an eagle’s cry goes unanswered.
the creek is tempting. he’s tired. sore. filthy, to the point where it’s getting to be a concern. where, if he were to walk up to the gates of jasir’s place looking the way he does right now, they might mistake him for a zombie and shoot him on sight. threadbare amusement curls the edges of that chasm in his chest, just for a second: then it’s gone again.
leaving his buggy where it’s parked, fishtailed at the road’s grassy shoulder — useless, gas gauge riding on empty — crane hangs a right and heads for the water.
a bolt is loosed from his crossbow. the toad falls before it can hit him with an acid burn. there’s a scar on his neck from the last time, an inch or so of rougher tissue that runs above the line of his collar.
he does a quick scan of the shoreline. two or three biters linger maybe a hundred yards away, but they haven’t noticed him. they’re slow. far enough that he’ll see them long before they get too close.
fuck it.
he unloads his gear. strips off gloves, vest, boots; clothing peeled from his skin layer by layer until he’s bare except shorts and the grime - caked chain around his neck, dog tags sticking to his chest. one set, of the two he was issued. deanna has the other set.
no. no goodbyes.
no goodbyes. just hold onto ‘em for me.
it’s a freshwater creek; murky and tinged green with algae, but clean. uncontaminated. he wades out until he’s waist - deep, takes a breath, and dives beneath the surface. the shock of cold wakes him up like a rush of adrenaline. he stays under until he can’t, and then he stays a few seconds more. when he comes back up, there’s a clarity to it: a sharpness to his senses, focused as the finely whetted edge of a knife. he swims again to the shallows and starts to wash.
this is day ten, since the others returned to the slums. since they’d chased a clue given to them by a dying man delirious with fever. since their last - ditch, desperate search for a cure had come up empty and every move he’d made leading up to it — everything they’d done, everything they’d lost — slipped through his fingers like fine sand. he couldn’t face them. none of them. couldn’t stomach the thought of going back, of walking into the tower to tell lena and brecken and everyone else that it was all for nothing. he just needed time. that’s what he’d said. just a little time to work through it all, get it straight again in his head. camden was still working, sure. still holed up in old town in a lab littered with corpses. he’d hit some kind of breakthrough, but his labors since then hadn’t borne fruit. bad samples. limited testing material. crane doesn’t understand the science of it. what he understands is that a month after that radio call, people keep getting sick. people keep turning. people keep dying.
crane, why do you even give a fuck what happens to these people? you don’t belong here! this is just a job for you!
no. not anymore it’s not.
there’s no contract now. no mission objective. no target. there’s just him, and them, and a long stretch of nothing.
this is day ten.
the afternoon sun hikes steadily across the cloudless sky. six hours ‘til nightfall. he fills his canteen, redresses, gathers his gear. shuffling footfalls and the solitary groan of a biter drifts downwind towards him. a pause, mid - step. a glance over his shoulder.
she trips up the slope as she tries to follow. he doesn’t glance at her again.
there’s a gas station up the road, beyond the fields and half a klick east of the creek. a ten minute walk without interruptions. all told, he makes it in less than fifteen. the pumps are a no - go, but he finds enough fuel left in a semi and a rusted jeep to fill his jerrycan two thirds of the way. gnats hum in his ears as he cuts through the tree line and he’s sweating again by the time he returns to the buggy. fucking gnats. fucking heat.
fucking harran.
the buggy itself is a battered thing. mesh and steel, spikes up front, hood rigged with electrical cylinders to fry at the push of a button. UV lights mounted to a protective cage around the single seat. at some point, the paint job was blue. it’s lost under a spattering of mud and streaks of dust, blood in varying shades: dark brown to copper to fresh sprays of red. she’s not quiet, and her suspension’s been shot halfway to hell since he flew off that overpass near the train tracks, but she’s solid. fast. decent off - road traction, even through the roughest terrain. she gets the job done.
crane turns the keys in the ignition. a loud, vibrating rev, a scrape of tires against gravel. behind him, the biter from the creek makes a clumsy lunge for the vehicle’s rear. he leaves her in the dust and drives.
he’s been doing a lot of that. driving. maybe he missed it. maybe he likes the solitude, except for that ribbon of isolation that runs through him constantly like a wound spreading poison. no: what draws him is something else.
static crackles through the radio hooked to his dash.
“kyle, can you hear me?”
the skip of his heartbeat drops back to a dull rhythm. he should have known better. communication between here and the slums is shaky on a good day, worse down here behind the mountains.
“yeah, bilal, i hear you.”
“i’ve got the parts to fix your ride, if you want to come by and let me take a look.”
“she’s doin’ fine for now.”
“you sure? it’s no trouble. hell, i can probably have her running again by —”
“yeah, listen, i’ll stop by tomorrow, alright?” he says it without the intent to follow through on it.
“whatever you say, brother. hey — don’t be a stranger, okay?”
“sure thing.”
he ends it there. veers left to avoid an upended van and a spill of toxic waste. doesn’t correct to avoid clipping the biter crouched over a strewn mess of gore, greedily devouring someone’s remains. or several someones. the buggy jumps a little. his expression stays as unmoved as if he’d just bucked over a speed bump or a pothole.
the sun is behind him now, dipping westward.
he drives.
it’s beautiful out here, in its own right. the kind of place he might’ve visited by choice, before, when the world wasn’t like it is now. the road unspools behind him, twisting south towards the dam. he hears the water before he sees it. rushing noise off to the right. he doesn’t stop. keeps going past the turnoff and down a winding side - road until he pulls over onto a patch of asphalt that used to be a small parking lot. a couple of vehicles, a truck, a trailer hitched to a hatchback with luggage piled high. he’s checked them all before. cleaned out the bags and the gas tanks, salvaged what parts he could from under their hoods. there’s a single building, a two - story cottage converted to a restaurant converted to a safe house, UV bulbs strung along the balcony railing like christmas lights.
past it, where the road dips into a curve, the open maw of a half - collapsed tunnel is just visible beyond the scattering of trees and abandoned cars, biters meandering listlessly in the afternoon heat.
four hours.
he parks the buggy and climbs up to the balcony, barricading the door once he’s inside.
no one uses this place. that’s why he’d picked it. quiet, deserted, off the beaten path. no one uses it because of its proximity to the tunnel. deep within the reeking darkness, volatiles nest and thrive. they prowl too close after nightfall. no one wants the risk.
no one except crane.
the note was pinned up on an old door used as a bulletin board at jasir’s farm. warning people away from the area, to steer clear at any cost. during the day, the hive is full. they only scatter when darkness falls, emerging to hunt, to feed, to roam the countryside freely and without borders. that’s what he’s counting on.
but there’s a trick to it. something he discovered — stumbled upon — when he went looking for sabit and found a nest instead. volatiles can breed. they’re not made exclusively through the natural evolution of the virus, but nor do they procreate in a traditional sense. hive mother is the closest comparison he can make: sentient creatures within the hives that somehow trigger the mutation. again, it’s a science he doesn’t fully understand. he knows the logistics. he knows enough. destroying those things stops the spread.
kill the beating heart, and you kill the beast.
he hefts his duffel bag onto one of the tables and unzips it, a side pocket where a tightly - wrapped pouch is nestled within the folds of a spare shirt. inside, a medical injector and tool slots that used to house five vials of antizin. the final vial is loaded into the injector. the shot is quick. practiced. another four days bought on the calendar; beyond that, the pages are blank.
it should worry him more than it does.
after he checks the alarm on his watch, crane moves to the sleeping bag unrolled on the floor and lies down fully clothed. he’s trained himself to fall asleep like he’s stepping off a curb. no thought, just muscle memory.
four hours, then he can go.
dreams are less muscle, all memory. he sees them every time: living faces turned to dead ones turned to taunting, hungry ghosts. children screaming. a little girl and then a little boy, the plush yield of a bloodstained teddy bear under the tread of his boot. you can’t go yet, i thought of a name!
someplace safe.
the monsters are gone.
semper fi, marine.
residual hallucinations blend seamlessly, threading sepia and bronze through the black and mottled grey, the arterial red. jade’s voice brushes the threads like a hand searching for fever; soft, then bleeding, then telling him to let her go, and then jade isn’t jade, she’s deanna, and she isn’t saying let her go — she’s saying let go.
no goodbyes, remember?
make it count.
you don’t know what suffering is.
there’s an old ache just under the hook of his left clavicle. a starburst of pain sings sharply outward with the waking breath he sucks in, then pushes back out. he presses the heel of his right hand against the scar from rais’ dagger, the one he didn’t dodge fast enough. that’s a running theme. not fast enough. not soon enough. not enough. his other hand lifts, wrist tipping, as the digital numbers on his watch go from 20:59 to 21:00.
he cuts the alarm.
night out here sounds nothing like night in the slums, or in old town. there, it’s all infected moans, wind rippling through tarps and rustling trash; it’s all crackling fires and the creak of scaffolding, clangs of metal as virals throw aside manhole covers to scrabble out into the streets.
here, it’s quiet. crickets chirp, cicadas chitter and hum. an owl hoots from somewhere in the trees off to the right of the cottage.
he waits by the balcony door until he hears them passing by. ragged, growling breaths. heavy steps. they come out of the nest in droves but then they scatter. then they fade into the dark.
crane hops the railing and heads toward the tunnel’s waiting mouth.
years ago, on the ground in fallujah, he led a stealth mission of five other marines to infiltrate a hostile - run outpost at the city’s downtown core. tactics he relied on then to evade detection are called back on now. he stays low. hugs the shadows. mindful of every move, every breath, every beat of his heart. the first biter he kills doesn’t have the time to react. he snaps its neck, fast and clean. drags it off into the cover of the trees and slices a deep line across its swollen belly. then a second line, stem to stern.
bandanna tightly secured over his mouth and nose, he reaches gloved hands inside the wound and begins to cover himself in gore.
the smell is overpowering. sour and almost chemical, thick with rot, seeping through the fabric. but overpowering is the entire point. dahlia claimed she had a magic potion to move amongst infected, to blend in; everyone thought she was crazy. so did he, or delusional at the least — until she’d asked him to gather what she needed to make more tincture. one whiff of those mushrooms, and he understood.
she didn’t have a magic potion. she just knew which plants were odorous enough to mask the scent of living flesh.
and if that worked, crane figures this will too.
three measured strides into the tunnel confirms it. the biters don’t turn. don’t react at all. he passes them in silence, a chameleon, unnoticed and undisturbed. this is the easy part. the deeper he goes, the more perilous the risk. virals twitch and mutter, grouped around piles of reeking carnage mounted nearly ceiling - high in some places. he doesn’t turn on his flashlight for chancing exposure. it takes his eyes a few minutes to adjust to the gloom.
he has eight hours, give or take, before the volatiles return and this excursion goes from dangerous to suicidal. eight hours is plenty.
bones. the ground is littered with them, crunching underfoot. some are smaller; animal, maybe — birds, rodents — but most aren’t. bigger things. human. skull fragments that are all teeth. the smell has gotten incrementally worse, distinguishable even through his own cloak of viscera. it’s suffocating and rank. biological. metallic like a slaughterhouse. choked with dirt like a grave.
edging a pool of stagnant water that fills the crevice between cracked slabs of cement, he pushes on.
he’s getting closer. he can hear it now. an unearthly vocalization that pitches above the rest, echoing off stone. it’s a howl and a groan and a wail and a scream all in one, wordless, feral, made of pain and desperate hunger.
he sees it near a blocked door to a maintenance hall, in front of a wide wall of concrete debris. tethered to the earth by flesh and tendon like roots. there’s no lower half: only a head and torso, its other parts impossible to identify. the head is thrown back. spikes of bone push through bloody sinew in odd places, and the jaw is split along both sides, a wide, disjointed yawn. nothing about it is human. nothing about it suggests that it once was human.
circling behind it, crane braces one hand on its shoulder and draws his blade with the other. the machete is driven clean through, back to front, gleaming point emerging from its chest.
kill the beating heart —
the death rattle is jarring, a wet, retching sustain, and then it stops. the thing stills, goes limp. he pulls his blade out again.
— you kill the beast.
there are three more of them, nestled deep within the labyrinth. he finds them by sound, repeats the same routine with each. in a way, it feels merciful. killing sabit was merciful. he wasn’t long in this state when crane had found him; too far gone to save, but with enough human left in him to plead for release.
these ones don’t plead, but release is granted anyway.
because of how deep the nest goes, of how careful he is in navigating it, it’s coming up on midnight by the time he turns around to work his way back. that isn’t worrisome: sunrise starts washing the horizon in swaths of pale peach at 5:30, doesn’t fully spread her rays ‘til six. he still has a seven - hour window, and all he has to do is reach the cottage again. the camouflage is working. his pulse is steady.
everything is playing out accordingly, right up until it’s not.
a viral staggers from behind one of the vehicles in the tunnel, an old city bus that blocked it from view. he misses it, focused on a through - path to avoid the others. it knocks into his shoulder. hard.
crane stumbles a little. it wouldn’t be enough to throw him had his footing been on even ground.
his boot slips off the edge of the crevice.
his ankle, the same one roman had fucked up months before, torques harshly in a direction it isn’t supposed to go, skewing his balance sideways.
“oh, f—”
the curse is caught before it’s anything more than a breath.
he falls. water splashes around him.
four feet away, the viral lets out a screech.
the noise. that’s all, he tells himself: just the sudden noise drawing attention. but the filthy pool around him begins to turn filthier, a runoff of blood and entrails slipping from his clothes. he freezes. holds absolutely still, unblinking, barely breathing. three more virals and a handful of shuffling biters are starting to congregate around the water. sensing some disturbance, some change in the air. one of them presses in closer. he realizes what’s about to happen a microsecond before.
the biter trips over the slab and lands in the pool with him, dousing him in a second wave. he scrambles backward, kicks it back when it lunges, but the damage is already done.
they smell him now. they see him.
crane jumps from the pool and bodies the first viral that comes at him. the tunnel fills with shrieks and groans, a ravenous stampede with a single piece of prey.
his machete cuts through the nearest throat. then he breaks into a run.
the firecrackers he throws behind him buy enough time to clear the tunnel’s entrance, to dip into the trees, to move at a flat sprint until ultraviolet lights wink at him between the black canopy. he vaults the awning, grabs hold of the balcony rail.
a volatile’s hunting cry reverberates through the moonlit night.
HARRAN COUNTRYSIDE, DAY 176 ; 6:02:45.
“lena. lena, do you copy? ... shit.”
still nothing, just the static noise of a poor signal. the transmission is weak. he curses under his breath, throws a glance down the ridge behind him, hikes further up the crest. the air thins. he stops and tries again.
“lena, come in. do you copy?”
this time, finally, the static catches traction.
“crane? is that you?"
“thank god. yeah — yeah, brecken, it’s me.”
“holy shit.” relief, even through a weak transmission, hits him center mass. “it’s good to hear your voice, mate. it’s been too fucking long.”
“i — i know, man. i’m sorry. really. i —”
“nah, nah, save that for later, okay? tell me you’re finally through with this poxy country holiday and you’re ready to come home.”
home. that hits, too. emotion swells in his throat. a dammed flood he’s been so diligent to keep at bay.
last night was sleepless. he’d kept watch until sunrise, kept alert, because it occurred to him when he’d hit the water: he doesn’t want to die. losing hope is a dangerous thing. and maybe it is hopeless. maybe the antizin will run dry and he’ll turn, and one of them will have to put him down, like he did rahim and jade, and there won’t be any stopping it. no cure. no way out.
maybe he thought he did want to die — or maybe it was just that he didn’t care if he lived.
home. come back home.
it’s not about him. it’s not himself that he’s living for.
not anymore.
“yeah,” he manages. “yeah. i, uh — i think it’s past time for that.”
brecken blows out a breath. “sanest thing i’ve heard you say in a while. look, let me grab the others and —”
“no. no, don’t do that. i don’t have a lot of time — could lose the signal again at any second. brecken ... listen, just — just tell ‘em i’m on my way, huh? tell ‘em ...”
“yeah. i will.”
“i’m sorry.”
“i know, crane."
a steady inhale is pulled and released.
he hears something. something that seems to shake the air around him, above him; something a lot like the whirring engine of an aircraft. but it can’t be that. there haven’t been any drops in months. squinting against the sun’s rays, crane scans the skyline, searching —
“hang on,” brecken says, “you hear that?”
“what? you’re not tellin’ me it’s loud enough t—”
“there’s a — oi, get ayo up here, right now! — there’s a fucking plane. what the fuck, crane, i thought the GRE weren’t dropping supplies anymore?”
“no, they’re not, they’re — wh— hang on, what do you mean there’s a plane? there’s a plane right —”
“listen, call me again once you’re close, okay? get your ass back here as soon as possible, we’ll talk then.”
“n— wait — brecken, don’t —”
the radio goes dead.
overhead, a fixed - wing transport plane banks left and makes a hairpin turn to circle the cliffside. minimum altitude over rural land is five hundred feet. it’s close.
close enough to catch a flash of color from the massive logo painted on its fuselage.
a medical cross inside a circle, bold letters spelling out GRE.

Nagi-Nagi no Mi (Calm-Calm fruit)
Headcanons
Monster trio + Law
A/n: Hi, thanks for the love on my last few posts, I really appreciate it! I didn’t think they’d be so well received and I just wanted to thank y’all for being so welcoming! I think I’m gonna write something longer for Law with this prompt later on, what do you think? I based this on a scene I remember from Law's flashback episodes, where he and Cora-san are inside a soundproof barrier talking in an alleyway. It's been quite a while since I've watched the Dressrosa Arc, so if the powers are a little off, that's why. Hope you enjoy them!
Summary: they find their S/O and step into the soundproof barrier to hear them singing.
Fluffy SFW content here bby ~💕
Warnings: Cursing
Luffy
He’s been running around the ship looking all over for you, asking everyone if they knew where you disappeared to. Nami said you may be in the bath, but no one has been below deck in a little while so she doesn’t really know.
He made his way down the stairs and searched every single room, ending with the bathroom bc he really only listened to half of what he was told
Does not knock, just barges in
You’re in the bath. Your back is to the door and it looks like you’re singing but he can’t hear anything. He yells your name louder than he needs to bc you’re 5ft away from him, but you don’t hear him
He gets closer and steps through the barrier and is in shock to find out that you were singing
“Woah I didn’t know you could sing!” He’s still louder than he needs to be (bc Luffy) and scares the shit out of you bc you didn’t know he was there
“How come I couldn’t hear you from over there?” And you explain the devil fruit to him. “Oh, that’s so cool!” Big cheesy smile as always and tells you how you could play pranks with the newly discovered power
Very excepting and excited, doesn’t ask questions
“Could you sing to me some more? Your voice is really pretty, I wanna hear more! I’ll get in with you and we can sing together!”
Strips and does a cannonball right into the middle of the tub and splashes you before floating over to sit beside you.
V sweet moment you two share, and even if he is a little (a lot) tone-deaf, you enjoy every second of it
Zoro
He’s just looking for somewhere quiet to nap tbh
You’re painting and singing to yourself on the other side of the room and he doesn’t even notice you’re in there until he walks through the barrier
Jumps out of his skin like a cat bc he wasn’t expecting to hear you belting at the top of your lungs out of nowhere “Whoa what the hell!?”
You also jump out of your skin bc you weren’t expecting to hear anyone behind you yelling “You what the hell!? Why are you yelling?!”
“You scared the shit outta me! Why couldn’t I hear you from over there?!” Walks backward out of the bubble and then back in, to double-check, even though you weren’t talking (head empty, no thoughts)
You laugh and explain the fruit to him. He gets a devilish grin on his face thinking of the perfect use for your power and asks you to make him a soundproof bubble to nap in. “Only if I can join you.”
He opens his arms up for you to come lay in your spot right on top of him, he thinks it’s the perfect way to sleep. You take your position, safe in his arms. He kisses the top of your head and wraps you up tight.
“Ya know… I wouldn’t mind hearing you sing sometimes.” His face turns red, but he keeps his eyes closed. You smile at his words, appreciating the vulnerability he only shows every once in a while, and drift off to sleep
Sanji
Is going to the kitchen bc he can’t sleep so he decided to prep meals for the next day. He was very surprised to see you in there already, baking and… silently singing?
“Y/N-chan?” He steps closer to you and is stopped in complete awe at the beautiful voice he’s hearing. He had no idea you could sing and is completely mesmerized.
Heart eyes, swooning
You turn around and nearly jump out of your skin bc you weren’t expecting him at this hour. “Oh my god! Geez, Sanji, you’re gonna give me a heart attack one of these days!”
“Y/N-chan, why haven’t you ever told me you can sing?” He asks all dreamy, he completely forgot that he couldn’t hear you from the door and is just wondering what else you’d been keeping to yourself.
You tell him you’re embarrassed so you use your devil fruit to sing alone. “Wait. Devil fruit? You never told me that either! What does it do?” You explain everything to him and apologize. “It just never crossed my mind, I guess. I don’t use it often.”
“You shouldn’t hide a voice like that! You sound absolutely lovely, I could listen forever!” He swoons at you and starts gushing about how much he just adores you. You gag at him and he pulls you into a hug.
“I would love a private concert sometime if you’d be willing. I really do think you sounded amazing.”
Law
He walks into your shared room after not leaving his office for days since work is more important than sleep, apparently. He notices you folding clothes and… singing? But there’s no sound coming from you…?
It clicks in his brain and his walls come crashing down. Tears well up in his eyes as he’s overcome with emotions. He walks slowly over to you in shock, but he’s also so happy he could burst
It’s a very emotional realization for him as he walks through the barrier you’ve made and hears a sweet melody coming from your lips. Everything clicks into place for him
He just goes and hugs you from behind with no warning, unable to stop himself. “Oh! I didn’t know you were in here, you scared me!” You turn around to look at him and see his face turning red and tears brimming in his eyes. The look he’s giving you is one full of love and disbelief
“Why didn’t you tell me about your fruit? I never thought I’d see it again.” Poor baby is so shocked to find his S/O has the same fruit Cora-san had all those years ago. “Your voice is beautiful.” He whispers to you before he just holds you as close as he can
He knows with all his heart you’re really the one at this moment and wants nothing more than to just be with you. He can’t hide behind his hard exterior with you anymore. His touch-starved inner child is peeking out, desperately wanting to be loved by you.
You hadn’t really thought about the fruit you have being similar to the one he’s described Cora-san having since he didn’t share too many details with you, but it all clicks into place here. You hug him back tightly, feeling all his love for you overflowing from him. He tells you that you’re the one and makes your relationship official. Finally.
You sing him to sleep later, at his shy request, and he gets the best night sleep he’s had in a long time. He clings to you all night and in the morning just smiles, happy to know it wasn’t just a dream.

Some One Piece fans keep comparing the final stages of the manga to Naruto’s... but I’m sitting here going.... It’s Star Wars. It’s going to be Return of the Jedi.
It is going to be a multi-front battle, the “rebels” are going to be split into two or more armies (land, sea, sky, space), and there is going to be a more-personal showdown in a “thrown room” between the heroes and the emperor.
The Cross Guild is gathering together splinter groups of Pirates under one flag. There is SWORD inside the Marines that are going to clean up from the inside. An actual Revolutionary Army, who’s leader is the main protagonist’s father... these forces could come together as a Rebel Alliance.
“That’s no moon, it’s a space station.” There is a lot to do about the Moons of the OP world happening right now... and people forget that there is more than one moon and people use to live on those moons. One of them even “created” the Red Line. They may have “created” the Ancient Weapons. One of the ancient Weapons is satellite-like and may be even used as a base.
There is foreshadowing that the Red Line is going to be destroyed to create the All Blue... likely using these weapons all at once along with God-tier Devil Fruit users and awakened Logia Devil Fruit Users.... Hell, maybe that is the function of the One Piece, to combine the abilities of the ancient weapons into one that could bring down the Red Line.
*********************************************
A Blackbeard vs Shanks battle looks to be in the works, and prob happen before the final war, which could potentially take Shanks out of the picture or leave him realizing he’s going to need to make allies. Also all of this stuff with Xebec, Teach keeps messing with (if he actually revives Xebec, it would poetic that Rocks kills him).... Rocks fills the role of “Darth Vader” more than Teach anyways. (As Rocks does have a more personal connection with people like Garp (who ‘killed’ Rocks the fist time, and puts Garp in the Obi Wan role), and could be Dragon’s actual father, making him Luffy’s other grandfather... but as always, Luffy wouldn’t care)... and like Vader, Rocks could turn on Imu... We just don’t know Rocks’ personality)
Teach is more like the Jabba the Hutt of the story, he’s a major threat, has personal connections with some of the protagonists, but he’s the secondary villain to the greater threat that is the empire. He can’t be “turned” like other characters, like those joining/heading the Cross Guild, so he’s going to have to be taken out or he’ll end up a spanner in the works. Teach also currently has Coby held “hostage”... just not in carbonite. (edit: now he has pudding too)
another direction is that Imu plays Blackbeard like a violin. Imu has some puppet master illusionist cryptid brain-melting power, and just flips Teach and his captains. Teach, like Rocks, gets 99% there to completing his goal, only to get slapped down at the end... Teach might not even know about Imu. He shows up where the “empty” throne is and is all: “Zehahah! I am going to spread chaos across the whole world!’ (Imu, whom just came out of the bathroom): “No, you’re not.” “um... who are you?” “your master.” (brain zappy) “yes master.”
Maybe both? Teach gets beaten down by Luffy and/or Shanks, and Imu turns him into a puppet before he actually dies and his devil fruits could reincarnate. (this could work, if Teach is just a Rocks fanboy and Rocks never makes an actual physical appearance... being on an island that was shot by giant death lasers kind of means there isn’t a body around. Without Vegapunk on the side of the world government anymore, it is unlikely that Teach would be turned into a PX like Kuma was).
The main plot of OP is following similar lines to the Skypia arc... which involves a land that was split in two and needs to be reunited (all blue/red line), a godhead with overwhelming power(Enel = Imu), a lost golden city that explorers spent years trying to find (The One Piece), the person that found it was executed by his government (Noland = Roger). The Winged Races all came from the moons to settle on the planet (the Lunarians settled on the Redline, to be later displaced and destroyed by the Celestial Dragons). Enel destroyed his own home island (Imu is maybe from God Valley?) Enel pretty much had his way until someone with high resistance to his powers showed up (Joyboy/Nika to Imu). Enel went onto a massive ship and left the planet (there are aliens in this world... so other earths exist. Imu may just fuck off to one of them instead of staying there after their defeat) Ended with a massive party.
The Main Plot isn’t going to stray too far. It would be like comparing Alabasta to Dressrosa or Thriller Bark to Wano.. there are structure similarities, but there are enough differences for each of them to stand on their own. I am fond of saying that Oda likes to reuse his plots but make them bigger. And i honestly think that Blackbeard is going to be dealt with right before the final war to topple the government happens. He may even be the person to kick it off. He isn’t the penultimate villain (and neither is Shanks ffs). Blackbeard is trying to follow in the path of Xebec, and Xebec wanted world domination (it is still possible that he just wanted to burn everything down to the ground and didn’t care how it was accomplished). Blackbeard is likely missing key pieces of information, and will end up failing, but starting off the fight with the government in the process.
