OmgâŚPirates.
Not me flying in during my nightly 3-4 AM âwake up for no reason timeâ to blast you guys in the face with my epiphanic slightly crackish theory on S2 and the Stolas boyfriend.
We open season 2 The Circus with Blitzø and Fizz playing pirates, or Blitzø attempting to and Fizz not being interested. Stolas and Blitzø have a big conversation about them and Stolas was clearly already interested in them as well. Heâs read many books on the subject.
In the episode itâs a setup for Blitzø to steal from Stolas both in present and past but what if itâs also like a hint of a Striker-esque Pirate characterâŚlike a parrot. Who could potentially lead to some swashbuckling romance for a recently heart broken soon to be divorcee owl and give Blitzø and crew a chance to play pirates. Just like Striker plays into his cowboy interests we have a new antagonist (?) for the pirate interests established in the S2 premiere.
They donât usually put in things like that for nothing, especially in a Season opener which often sets up the season coming up, so I think that convo could have not only been for the episode but perhaps the season overall?
This would also be an amazing situation where a romantic rival echoes the main character and potentially gives Stolas what he thinks he wants. When Blitzø breaks in to steal the grimoire Stolas immediately jumps into romance novel mode, Blitzø is there to ravish him. If I was a betting woman Iâd say a pirate character could serve as a foil for Blitzø (is this a foil? Iâm tired ), who comes in to steal treasure, either the crystal, Stolas, the grimoire, something else. He would be a direct contrast to Blitzø while giving us a fun new pastiche like the Westerns of Wrath. Maybe we head down to Envy for awhile. Stolas gets a romance novel fantasy to make mistakes with.
Like they could potentially even call back to the Porthole conversation as a fun little joke.
Like I said, itâs 3AM so these are just my shooting out of bed eyes wide open thoughts but I sure as shit am writing this regardless if itâs what happens.

hello i love ur works!! i hope ur doing well! :D for law can i request a law with a f!reader who doesnât like him at all at first but has an uncharacteristic absolute soft spot for cute things (ie bepo) and he uses that to get closer to her? thank u!! âşď¸

⤠pairing: trafalgar law x gn!reader
⤠word count: 1.1k
⤠warnings: alcohol use
this is such a cute concept thank you for suggesting it!! i'm exactly like this and i wanna hug bepo so badly áŚĘ â˘á´Ľâ˘Ęá¤
i'm still not confident in the way i write law so i hope you like this!

Law's heart skips a beat the moment he meets you. Thatâs very unfortunate for him.Â
His social skills are adequate at best, since his awkwardness unintentionally comes off as rudeness, but they get infinitely worse around people heâs attracted to.
Plus, you're a Straw Hat, so you're already seeing him out of his element. Luffy's (unintentional) insistence on ruining all of his carefully planned schemes leaves him perpetually frustrated, uncomfortable, and grumpy.
You frown when his voice comes out harsher than he meant it to. Roll your eyes when he gets upset at your crewmates again for doing what they always do. Mumble something snarky under your breath when the man frantically tries to get his plan back on track, somehow still not realizing that everything works out for Luffy.Â
Oh, you must hate him. Law knows it. He tries to give you space to avoid making the situation worse, but that only upsets you more.
But Bepo? Youâre obsessed.Â
Constantly clinging onto him, rubbing your cheeks against his fur, giggling about how soft and round he is until the poor bear's snowy white face is tinted bright red.
His first mate nervously cries out "Captain!!", clearly flustered but secretly enjoying your praise. You pout, wondering why the cutest Mink you'd ever met is sticking around with an asshole like Law.
Itâs not just Bepo â you love everything cute. Chopper always ends up in your lap, happily wrapped in your embrace. You feed stray cats, stop to pet every dog you see, and gush over the Tontattas in Dressrosa (especially Princess Mansherry!). Somehow, you cry more than Franky does at heartwarming stories.Â
Law doesnât understand how someone as adorable and kind-hearted as you could become a pirate. He admires your emotional vulnerability and childlike whimsy as much as heâs terrified of it.Â
The poor guy can't win. He can barely talk to you like a normal person, much less have a full conversation with you. It leaves him lying awake in bed at night trying to think of something to say that doesn't make him sound like a dick.Â
(Maybe he should read that book Chopper gave him â 'healthy ways to process traumaâ or something stupid like that.)
His crewmates know about his predicament, so Shachi suggests expressing his feelings in a way that doesnât involve words.Â
Law fights off embarrassment and walks into a toy store, looking incredibly out of place. He ends up picking out a black-and-white puppy plushie. (itâs Snoopy hehe)
Anxiety nearly overwhelms him while he waits for the perfect moment to give it to you. When it finally feels appropriate to pull you away from your crewmates, he leads you into an empty room on the Sunny.Â
Law can barely look you in the eyes as he hands you the stuffed animal and mumbles, âI got this for you.â
Your jaw nearly hits the floor. âOh, LawâŚâ The long stretch of silence causes him to panic internally, suddenly regretting everything and thinking of ways to explain himself.
Before he can come up with a flimsy excuse, you gladly accept his gift and hug it tightly. âItâs adorable, thank you! It even matches your hat!â
A blush spreads across his cheeks like wildfire. He wasnât thinking about that, he swears! Itâs the same color as Bepo! Yes, he loves black and white, and maybe he subconsciously wanted it to remind you of him, but he didnât do it on purpose!
At breakfast the next morning, Shachi asks if you like your gift. Deciding not to question why he knows about it, you nod enthusiastically and say itâs so cute that you spent the entire night cuddling it. Law sputters and spills hot coffee on himself.
But now you feel bad. Everything about Lawâs behavior made you think he disliked you, but he clearly cares enough to notice your interests. You don't know anything about him.
The next time your combined crews split up, you make it a point to join him and spend alone time together. Heâs obviously overjoyed, and heâs already thinking about more gifts to buy you.
Once you get past his awkward exterior, you realize he's actually pretty cute. He has his own nerdy interests, and he genuinely cares about Bepo and the rest of his crew.
Heâll show you his if you show him yours⌠Obviously that means his limited edition Germa 66 comics box set and your collection of cute trinkets, with the puppy plushie he bought you sitting proudly on your pillow.
When he sees a cute animal or something he knows youâd like, if youâre within Room range, he Shambles you over to him so you wonât miss it.
âLaw, what the hell? Why am I three blocks away from where I just was?â With a straight face, he points and says, âCat.â
Bepoâs also a great wingman. He helps you see his captainâs soft side by telling stories about their adventures together â even embarrassing ones Law wishes he left unsaid. You eagerly listen to everything the Mink has to say and become even more comfortable around Law.
Law realizes you can be soft and strong at the same time. No one doubts Sanjiâs strength even though he caves whenever he sees a woman â why shouldnât that apply to you and your interests?
At one of your crew's famous banquets, you get super drunk and wonât stop clinging to him. Law is completely sober and tries to push you off of him, attempting to prevent you from doing anything you'd regret the next morning.Â
But then you tell him you think he's adorable and giggle cutely.
He's stunned into silence for a few moments. "...You think so?" (He'd rather be seen as manly, but he's more than happy with any perception as long as you like him.)
You nod and move to kiss him, and as much as heâs dying to reciprocate, he holds you back. Instead, he half-carries you over to where a group of both of your crews are mingling. You're asleep in Bepo's lap in less than a minute.
Hungover and sleepy the next morning, you timidly apologize for your behavior. Law shakes his head and assures you that it's fine.Â
"I still wanna kiss you, though," you murmur quietly.Â
So his lips press against yours in a slow and gentle kiss, eventually escalating until your fingers are tangled in his hair and youâre straddling his lap, one tattooed hand gripping your hip and the other holding you tight against him.
Bepo and Shachiâs eyes widen when they see their captainâs flushed state a while later, hair messy and hickies on his neck. In typical Law fashion, he just thanks them with no further explanation.

what you really want - Mihawk
đš staring. Dracule Mihawk x afab!Reader
âď¸ preview. Some days you wish heâd settle down, wish heâd just choose an island and stay with you forever, but you know his first love will always be the sea. Heâs a pirate, through and through, and you suppose you canât blame him for that.
tw/cw. unprotected sex, quickie, multiple reader orgasms, big dick Mihawk, begging, dirty talk, breeding kink, fullness kink, slight cum kink, choking, manhandling, roughhousing, using a table hanging from the ceiling as a sex swing, instructed masturbation?, deep penetration, overstimulation crying, hair pulling, etc⌠I pet names: (hers) darling, good girl. (his) Captain.
đ rating. 18+Â explicit I SMUTÂ I wc. 3.2k
âď¸Â aus. One Piece Live Action, established relationship, pwp, etcâŚ
đ mlist + an. It's the way I haven't been active on this blog in 3 years and then this stupid pirate show comes out and now I'm sinning again- I honestly couldn't help myself with this one
Youâre in the kitchen rolling out dough when you feel a body press against your back. Thereâs only one person with the balls to touch you like this. As a girlfriend to one of the seven warlords of the sea, and the greatest swordsman in the entire world, everyone knows your body is off-limits to anyone but Mihawk.
âWhen did you get in?â you ask, pressing your ass back against him, enjoying the feeling of his breath on your throat.
âJust now.â His hands trace the curves of your hips, and you have to fight the groan that threatens to slip out of your mouth at his touch.
âDid anyone see you?â Itâs definitely interesting being a member of the Strawhats while being involved with Mihawk. Heâll show up out of the blue, completely unannounced, and itâs clear to everyone what heâs here for.
You often feel very sinful any time he leaves, when you exit your cabin or the bathroom or wherever he just fucked your brains out, only to find the crew watching you with unreadable expressions.
âYour cook-â
âSanji,â you interject, doing your best to teach Mihawk the names of your friends in the hopes that heâll be more sociable with them.
âSanji,â your boyfriend repeats with a sigh. âI bumped into him on the deck, he said the kitchen is all ours.â
âThis should be fun.â You grin, releasing the dough and wiping your flour covered hands on your apron. âIâm guessing you didnât show up to talk.â
âDefinitely not.â
âSo the question isâŚâ you grind your ass back against him, âis that a sword in your pants, or are you just happy to see me, Captain?âÂ
He lets out a small laugh, digging his fingers into your hips to pull you flush to his chest. Mihawk is always amused when you refer to him as Captain. Itâs always in a sexual capacity, and even though heâs a crewless pirate, the title feels fitting. On top of everything else, the âsword in your pants lineâ is somewhat comical, as his sword, Yoru, is absolutely unmistakable when pressed against your body.Â
âI guess Iâm just happy to see you,â Mihawk sighs. Heâs not the best with praise or dirty talk, preferring a more silent approach, but itâs always rewarding to work admissions of interest out of him.Â
âSo why are we still talking?â you ask.
Itâs as easy as anything for him to turn you in his embrace, one hand reaching up to pinch your chin as he presses his lips to yours. Your arms wrap around the back of his neck, and you press your chests together, enjoying the feeling of your breasts against his muscles.Â
The kiss is almost gentle at first, but it quickly becomes heated, with his tongue dipping into your mouth. You sigh at the feeling. Youâve missed Mihawk. Some days you wish heâd settle down, wish heâd just choose an island and stay with you forever, but you know his first love will always be the sea. Heâs a pirate, through and through, and you suppose you canât blame him for that.
His hands slip down your body, squeezing your breasts, toying with your nipples through the thin fabric of your shirt. He pulls away from your mouth, staring down at you with Hawk eyes full of lust. âTurn around, and bend over the table, darling.â
You swallow thickly at the command, grabbing his jaw and pressing one final kiss to his lips before following through. The solid cooking table has more than enough space for you to flatten your chest against it without having to worry about messing up the dough or getting flour on your shirt. In fact, itâs probably one of the sturdiest locations for Mihawk to fuck you from behind.Â
A soft sigh escapes you as his hand trails down your body, then heâs roughly gripping your trousers, tearing them down until they pool at your feet. Heâs discarded your panties as well, and your skin tingles at the cool air that brushes over your hot, exposed core.
You hear Mihawk dealing with his own pants, and you wiggle your ass as an invitation, impatience getting the best of you. Itâs been over a week since youâve seen your boyfriend, over a week since anyone has touched you, or kissed you, or filled you up to the brim until you were crying-
âI missed you,â you tell him, relaxing your cheek against the wood of the table as he rubs his cock through your pussy lips, coating himself in the wetness already beginning to drip out of you.
Mihawk doesnât return your sentiment, he only lets out a small grunt, grabbing your hip roughly as he begins to push into your core.
Thereâd been hardly any foreplay, so the stretch of his thick cock against your inner walls has you crying out and grabbing the edge of the table. You kind of like the pain though- being with a warlord of the sea is just like that sometimes. Itâs quickies, and roughhousing, gasping into each others mouths and stripping naked the moment you get each other alone.
Your boyfriend can be kind though. He doesnât push all the way into you, doesnt sink balls deep- he thrusts shallowly, and you can feel his gaze fixed on your tight pussy as you swallow more of him up, inch by inch-
âFuck,â you groan, clawing at the wood.Â
âGood, darling?â
âSo good,â you whimper, feeling your toes curl when heâs finally pushed all the way inside of you, the tip of his cock just kissing your cervix. âOh my god, you better fuck me stupid-â
âI intend to,â he promises, grabbing your waist with both hands to keep you presses to the table. His first thrust is rough, making you cry out and wiggle in his grasp. Your hips are pushed uncomfortably against the edge of the table, and as Mihawk finds a fast pace, each rut of his hips sends you forward.
Itâs not very painful, although, you might bruise tomorrow. Part of you almost wishes you do. You love reminders of him, marks that make you think of him balls deep in your aching core-
âCaptain-â you whimper, panting against the wooden surface of the table as he fucks you harder and harder, making you almost dizzy.Â
âLet me hear you,â he instructs.
His hand finds the back of your neck only for his fingers to slip around the front of your throat and pull- he makes you arch your back, body contorted for him. The sensation makes you gasp, deep groans escaping you. Each smack of his hips against your ass has whimpers leaving your lips. Your eyes are closed, mind entirely focused on the feeling of his perfect cock filling you up and destroying you for any other man.
âMi-Mihawk,â you stutter, lower lip warbling with effort, your body nearly overwhelmed already.
âTouch yourself. I want you to cum.â
You swallow thickly while he pulls you up from the table, tightening his grip on your throat and giving you the space to slip your hand down to your pussy while he fucks you in a half standing position. You can feel his breath against the nape of your neck, can hear him panting-
Even small sounds are such a turn on for you. You canât see his face right now, but itâs sexy to know that he might be as effected as you are by all of this.Â
Your fingers brush by your clit and you cry out at the sensation, clenching your eyes shut while your pussy throbs around his cock. âOh my god-â
âThatâs it, darling. Youâre close.â
You can only nod, applying more pressure to the sensitive bud while he continues fucking you stupid. His grip on your throat doesnât help the situation- it makes you lightheaded in the best possible way, your stomach muscles tensing as your orgasm builds in the pit of your stomach.
âIâd like to hear you beg for this first one.â
You moan loudly, the throbbing intensifying between your legs. âPlease, Captain, please-â
âYou can do better than that,â he scoffs, lips finding the side of your throat before his teeth bite at your shoulder.
âIâm so close, please make me cum- only you can make me cum this way, oh my god, your cock- itâs so deep- itâs so good-âÂ
You feel a tear slip down your cheek, and your core clenches unbelievably tight around him- youâre on the edge, but you canât cum without permission. Mihawk has trained you well, and by the satisfied sound he lets out, you think he knows it.
âGood girl,â he praises, and it goes straight to your pussy, making your legs quake with effort- âCum.â
Itâs the one word you need to fall over the edge, and as your pussy practically explodes with pleasure, you find yourself being pushed down to the table again. Mihawkâs hand leaves your throat, fingers digging into your hips as he fucks you through your orgasm.Â
You can feel your juices dripping our around his cock, making a mess of your thighs- all you can do is claw at the wooden surface and take what he gives you, cries of ecstasy leaving you uncensored.Â
He fucks you until youâre shaking, fucks you until your core stops throbbing around his thick length, then he pushes into you completely, holding you flush to his front. âTake a breather, darling,â Mihawk tells you, âIâm sure your Captain wouldnât be pleased if I leave you completely broken.â
You canât believe heâs bringing up Luffy at a time like this- canât believe he sounds so nonchalant, as if your pussy didnât just try to milk him for everything heâs worth. Mihawk is just like this, you suppose. Heâs always controlled, and itâs one of the sexiest things about him.
âYouâre my Captain,â you whisper, heart still thundering in your rib cage. âYou can leave me however you want.â
His hand caresses your ass, squeezing the flesh and making you twitch around him.Â
âTurn around, I want to see your face.â He pulls out of your pussy and you moan at the loss. Your legs are shaky, you can hardly stand as you move to face him, leaning back against the table.Â
Mihawk is too handsome for his own good. His facial hair is immaculate, and his eyes are bewitching.Â
He cups your cheek and you lean against his hand, enjoying the soft moment of reprieve before the next round that you know is coming.Â
âBeautiful,â he tells you, leaning in to kiss you gently.Â
You reach for his hat, taking it off his head to place on yours, and it makes his lips stop. He pulls away and looks down at you darkly. You can only grin up at him. âAm I still beautiful?â you prompt.
âAlways,â Mihawk responds easily, reaching own to cup your ass and lift you off the ground, prompting you to wrap your legs around his strong hips, trousers now discarded on the ground.
Your lips find each other, and you kiss him deeply while he carries you through the kitchen. When youâre set down, you find yourself on top of a wooden table platform hanging from the ceiling on four chains- youâve never realized before that this is practically a sex swing.
This wooden platform that Zoro laid on while recovering from wounds your boyfriend gave him, is now going to be the very tool used to fuck you absolutely stupid. Youâll never be able to look at it the same way again, and you donât want to.Â
Mihawk pulls away from your lips, and you watch him take off his jacket. He places the duster and his beloved sword on the cooking table just behind you, taking the hat off your head to discard it with the rest of his clothes. You take the opportunity to remove your shirt, leaving you completely bare for your boyfriend, whose gaze takes in every inch of your body now that youâre exposed.
âI missed you too,â he says softly, reaching up a hand to grab at your breast, teasing your nipple between two fingers.Â
You arch your back, legs quivering around his hips from the stimulus as well as his words. âThen fuck me,â you tell him. âFuck me full of your cum until Iâm dripping. Fuck me so deep that Iâll have a part of you with me even after you leave- I want to feel you inside for a week.â
Mihawk gives you baby fever like no other man youâve ever met, and staring at him now- knowing heâll leave you soon after this, it makes you even more desparate. You love him more than youâll ever be able to say- but maybe if you gave him a baby, youâd be able to show him that heâs the only man that will ever have your heart.Â
You watch his adamâs apple bob with effort, his hands slipping down to your thighs. He massages your skin, pulling you forward, his aching cock teasing between your pussy lips-
âYouâve always had such a dirty mouth, darling,â he tuts.
âYou love it,â you insist, leaning back down against the wooden platform. âYou love how dirty you make me. Love it when Iâm begging for you.â
The tip of his cock pushes into your core and you both let out sounds of pleasure. Youâre so wet, itâs the easiest thing for him to sink into you, and the swinging platform allows him to pull you close, only to push you away a little, using the hanging table to his advantage.Â
With one hand, he can control the table, and with the other, his thumb can find your clit.Â
Your legs shake around his hips, the sensitive bud is still trying to recover from your first orgasm, and the stimulation isnât helping.Â
âMihawk,â you moan, already feeling desperate again.Â
âYouâre pretty like this, darling,â he tells you. âIf you start to beg, I might just give you what you want.â
Heâs not applying enough pressure to your clit to make you cum and you both know it. Heâs just teasing you, gently rocking you onto his cock while your toes curl and your body nearly shakes. Heâs such a fuck, but you love him so much.
âPlease, you know what I want,â you whimper. âItâs the same thing I always want.â
âGo on.â
âI want you to fuck me rough. Want you to feel good. Want you to cum deep inside.â
âThereâs more too it though. Donât deny it, darling. I know what you want. What you really want.â
You blink at him in confusion, and he begins to rock into you harder, faster. His thumb applies more pressure to your clit, working it in tight circles that have your pussy clenching tightly around his cock.
âYou want me to fuck a baby into you, donât you?â he asks, although, the question definitely feels rhetorical. âYou want me to give you the one thing Iâve never given anyone. You want me to make you mine, completely. To do the one thing that would show everyone who you really belong to.âÂ
âMihawk-â you whimper, body tingling with overwhelm from his words alone.
âThis is why youâre always begging for my cum like a whore in heat, why you always want me to cum inside since the first time we fucked.â Mihawk lets out a small chuckle, grinning. âBet you thought I had no idea, but trust me darling, I know your games.â
âTheyâre not games,â you try to insist, but your words are broken and whimpered as he fucks you more intensely, the wooden platform swinging almost aggressively now with each rough thrusts.Â
âTell me what you really want.â
You gasp as he pinches your clit between two fingers, your body contorting against the tabletop. Your eyes clench shut and you feel your skin heating with your impending orgasms. âI want you to give me babies!â you admit, feeling a wave of relief to finally say whatâs been on your mind for months. âI want to swell with your cum and have your children- I want to be with you forever-âÂ
Mihawk lets out a sound thatâs nearly animalistic, and then heâs hauling you off your back, leaning over your body and forcing his lips against yours while your hands grab at his shoulders.Â
Itâs the most intense kiss youâve ever shared with him, all tongues and growls-Â
Your pussy throbs around him, and you eat up his sounds, trailing your fingers through his beautiful dark hair and pulling gently-
Mihawk lets out another groan, fingers unrelenting on your clit.Â
âPlease cum for me,â you mumble desperately, the cord in the pit of your stomach pulled achingly tight. âPlease, Mihawk, I need it- Iâm so close-â
He pulls his lips away from yours, your foreheads touching while he stares deep into your soul. You can feel tears of pleasure already building against your lashline, and the way heâs panting has your stomach twisting into even tighter knots-
Then heâs smashing his lips against yours again, fingers digging into your hip as he pulls you flush to his front, cock burried as deep as it can possibly go inside of you.Â
You can feel him cumming, and it triggers your own orgasm, which jitters through you like electric ecstasy, making your hair stand on end and your skin tingle. Youâre gasping against his lips, enjoying his moans and returning them with sounds of your own.
Your arms are wrapped tightly around him while your pussy milks him for all heâs worth, your tits pressed against his strong chest. His hand moves from between your bodies to flatten against the small of your back, embracing you tightly.
Youâve never felt closer to him in your entire life.
Thereâs never been a moment like this one.Â
You can taste the love he has for you on his tongue as it invades your mouth, tracing your lips and teeth-
Even though heâs still inside of you, hips flush to your own, itâs one of the longest orgasms youâve ever had. Thereâs nothing like this type of closeness, nothing like being stretched to nearly your breaking point while he fills you completely with his cum, cock so deep you can feel him painting your cervix.Â
It feels almost like a promise. As if heâs as dedicated to knocking you up as you are. Heâs not said it explicitly, but you get the sense that he wouldnât mind starting a family with you. In fact, he might even enjoy it.
You can imagine him teaching your child to use a sword, can imagine a three year old running around with the tiny little dagger Mihawk wears around his neck-
âI love you,â you whisper, tightening your grip on the warlord.
He lets out a groan. âI love you too.â

Hey, i love your stories, can you do how the warlords (specifically Mihawk, Jinbei, and Crocodile) would react to finding out the reader is a former slave, but the reader is also a warlord themself, it can be platonic or romantic, I don't mind either way.
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
Warlords; Involved With A Warlord Thatâs A Former Slave
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
A/N: established romantic relationship (well as romantic as u can get with some of these guys..) Takes place before the Warlord system was abolished. I had a hard time writing this without it sounding too ooc so if u have a different thought abt how some of these warlords would react pls comment and lemme know! I was gonna include Blackbeard but lowkey idek how heâs react I donât understand him that well and I have free will to not write abt that lil hoe
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
Dracule Mihawk: Mihawk was approached by you initially before the two of you became involved with each other. Your abilities and admirable Haki gained you some respect from Mihawk. Particularly your fighting style was something that stood out to him, and he was interested to understand your potential more throughly.
Mihawkâs stoicism and general lack of public presence fit your needs well. Due to Mihawkâs perceptive nature, Iâd wager he had suspicions that something happened between you and the World Government because of your obvious aversion to them. Though, lots of people donât like the World Government, especially pirates so I donât see him bringing it up unless he was too curious.
Assuming you keep the slave branding covered, Mihawk would only ever see it if you willingly present it to him. I donât really think that the dynamic between you two will change once he knows. He would probably be more accommodating for you at Muggy Kingdom and understands your character better than he did previously. He himself has his own issues with the World Government and for his partner to be a victim of the conditions that they set up definitely increases his loathing of the world government.
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
Bartholomew Kuma: (small disclaimer Iâm not too familiar with Kumaâs character either..) Kuma was probably hesitant to become involved with you due to his own enslavement to the World Government both previously and in terms of being a pacifista cyborg as well as being a revolutionary member. Though through small, private interactions over the course of numerous years the two of you had developed a bond.
Once Kuma put his trust in you and knew that while you were a Warlord and pirate; you were also a rare, good person, he was willing to risk confiding in you. He didnât tell you everything, just a little bit about himself so you were aware of his mixed life. It prompted you to reveal your own checkered past and sorta showed him how similar people become after being affected by the World Government.
You had told him about your previous status as a slave. I feel like Kuma would be disheartened to hear about anotherâs enslavement, but he would also be able to empathize with you more than most anyone else in the world (as well as he can for a cyborg..) At most I feel like he can only offer you words and wouldnât be able to take any action for you. Though his tender empathy, even at a distance, is comforting to you.
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
Donxuiquote Doflamingo: (literally the worst reaction you could ever hope for. Iâm sorry but to me I feel like telling him this is the equivalent to saying that you have a D middle initial in your name. He WILL tweak I promise)
Your relationship with Doflamingo is akin to a give and take rather than an actual companionship. Though there might be what he thinks is love present on his side, it only ever harms you and even others at times. His love is more reflective of a child roughly playing with his favorite toy no matter how tattered it gets. Youâre his favorite yes, but for how long? When will he notice the cracks in your paint coating? Or the chipped pieces of your frame?
He was attracted to your abilities and wanted to form an alliance. This alliance did benefit your crew, and granted you more political influence in the world. (Though, I feel like Doflamingo would try to make it physical between the two of you.)
Doflamingo figuring out that you were a former slave wasnât intended by you. You had wanted to keep that a secret from him as long as you could. You didnât know how he would react, but you didnât think it would be good. And it wasnât good, when he saw the burn seared into your back. The whole world stopped for a moment, nothing heard except your shaky breaths. I feel like this would go either two ways.
Doflamingo would be disgusted. He would feel cheated. How dare you be branded by something other than him, is what he would ask himself. He used to own slaves. He technically still does with his citizens of Dressrosa. He knows their lack of worth, their use to him and his mind would clash that version of inferiority with you instantly. To him, you were less than before but now youâre just a fake pretending to be human and pretending to be stronger than you really are. I feel like his reaction would be violent towards you and he would call off the progression of your alliance immediately.
The other way I see it going (and itâs kinda sick in my mind) is that Doflamingo would feel a new type of ownership over you. He used to authorize people to get that branding on your back. Heâd feel like you were reminiscent of his past and his former birth right. I feel like he might try to coax you into becoming a slave for him under the pretense of sympathy and understanding. This would be him playing the long game, trying to break you down enough mentally for you to be dependent on him and he would be able to use you however he wanted. He would also use this information against you too, threatening to reveal it to the public or the government officials. Even worse, the celestial dragons so they could come and take you back.
Disgusting bird this one is
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
Hancock Boa: (lowkey I feel like sheâs incapable of falling for someone other than Luffy presently but we can ignore that) Boa would only ever try to pursuit a relationship if you had treated her the same way Luffy treated her. If you had shown her a lack of lust and instead genuine affection or kindness, she would be down so bad.
One big milestone in the development of your relationship with Boa was her revealing her own personal enslavement. She told you in desperation of a connection of trust and to try to prove that she wasnât worthy of you. She was utterly shocked when you turned around and bared your own identical marking to her.
It would cause the two of you to have an intimate bond beyond anything sexual. You validated her and her sistersâ worth and existence. You also showed her that the mark didnât have to be something to fear and that she could rely on you. I think she would fall in love with you like how she did with Luffy and would defy the World Government not just for herself and her empire anymore, but for you as well.
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
Jimbei: I feel like Jimbei would pursue someone with a clear moral scale and have ideals that align with him. (Though heâd probably prefer fishmen so like if youâre human he might not be looking at you like that..) You were an honorable pirate and someone that Jimbei was able to communicate with beyond Warlord meetings. The Sun Pirates would most likely notice the chances of an alliance forming between them and your crew given the praises Jimbei has given you.
It was on an island of neutral ground for the two of you, enjoying the isolation and conversing with one another when it happened. You told Jimbei of your previous enslavement and showed him your branding. It wasnât really prompted, maybe you wished for Jimbei to talk of the important history of the Sun Pirates and Fisher Tiger. The slavery of fishmen was woven between the threads of the creation of the Sun Pirates. It was a safe space, Jimbei makes you feel safe, so once Jimbei was done talking, you opened up.
Jimbei would feel sympathy for your mark and your story. But heâs also someone who would be quick to acknowledge your strength to overcome it and persevere to the status of Warlord of your own pirate crew. Jimbei ran a hand over the mark softly before thinking of something. He offered to give you the Sun Piratesâ marking over it.
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
Trafalgar Law: Law wouldnât be looking for a relationship until possibly after he is able to complete his goal of avenging Corazon by defeating Doflamingo. Plus you were a warlord with your own crew, so the trust he gave you was scarce if he gave you any at all.
Though, if he did align with your pirate crew and you helped him in his goal heâd have a considerable amount of trust and loyalty towards you for the duration of the alliance. Through this, the two of you gradually became a little closer to each other, divulging in stories of the past and history in the small free time you had. Though you werenât together and neither of you would mention the kindles of what could perhaps be something more between the two of you.
One late night, you let it slip that you were a former slave. Law paused momentarily before acting unaffected. A silence fell over you two for a couple moments before he mentioned that you were free now. To which you responded with a smile. It wasnât brought up again, and your alliance ended after the events of Dressrosa.
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
Gecko Moria: (guys I donât like him) Hm. I feel like he would approach you first. Especially in his youth because he was more of a confident pirate before he faced off with Kaido. He had taken a liking to your appearance and your abilities were well suited for tasks in his opinion. I feel like he would propose an alliance with an ultimate goal of obtaining your power for his motives.
I thinks relationship with him would be another one based on mutual contentment, you scratch his big back, he scratches yours. Though, over time I think he would become loyal to you and care for you of his own will, not for the sake of the alliance.
He found out about your enslavement through one of his nosy underlings, maybe Perona. It would reason that you and her were at least acquaintances. I donât think this would change much for Moria, though he might try to express sympathy for you. Perhaps he might bring it up in hopes you talk about your past to him so he can know more about you and what youâve endured. He is caring to those who he considers family, and he would be willing to consider you that.
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
Crocodile: Crocodile was most likely approached by you. Though being the business man that he is, the only form of entanglement he would engage in would be through a mutual alliance of some sort.
Time may change the context of your alliance with him, and your relationship could grow into something that loosely resembles a carrying couple. Yet while Crocodile has his own secrets you arenât privy to, he doesnât enjoy you hiding ones from him, especially if it affects business.
You told him you would tell him a secret if he told you what happened to his hand. It was the amount of whiskey you had earlier in the evening talking, but Crocodile always became rather amused with your drunken ramblings. He made you go first.
He was rather surprised when you told him that you used to be a slave. You had covered your past so well. You were always dressed luxuriously, you surrounded yourself and your crew with powerful people, and you had this air of unassailable confidence that he always wanted to control. It just didnât fit you, being a slave. When he asked about the marking, you replied that you got surgery to remove it and replace the skin graft of the area it was covering. He could tell you hated that part of your past, and hated the World Government and Celestial Dragons even more. You told him you would wring his neck if he publicized it. Puffing his cigar in your face, he mused before taking a deep sigh and told you about the story of his hand.
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
Kinda a long one, I really had to think abt this one but it was fun to write

Law didn't know about the kids in Punk Hazard
This will be an unpopular opinion, because fandom loves to think Law is so shocked here because of Strawhats crazy antics. But I believe that the actual reason why Law looks so horrified is because of the kids. He didn't know Caesar was experimenting on kids and right under Law's nose. He spent months there and yet he didn't know.
How is that possible? Because Law had to agree to two conditions so Caesar would allow him to stay on that island: 1. give up his heart in exchange for Monett's 2. not be nosey about Caesar's research. And if Law would break that deal, his heart would get crushed at any moment. So why would he break the deal before he would figure out how to get his heart back? He stayed there for months and I doubt he needed to stay there for that long, he was just stuck there because of that stupid condition. And yet soon after he found out (thanks to Strawhats), he reacts like this and betrays Caesar:
I still have no idea who Caesar reminded Law of. At first I thought "Doffy, right?" but Doflamingo despite being manipulative never had to actually drug people not to leave his side, that's exactly why he is so scary in the first place. My current bet is Vegapunk, for two reasons:
1. Everything Caesar does or did is implied to be a copy of Vegapunk's inventions, just worse quality: artificial zoan fruit dragon = smile fruits, that's why Caesar knows how to "respawn" devil fruits as well, don't think it's his own achievement. Also we're being fed to a lie for the whole duration of Punk Hazard: Caesar isn't the only person capable of producing SAD, Law reveals it on Sunny on their way to Dressrosa: "he only found an use for Vegapunk's lineage factors" - which means any other scientist could have done the same as long as they knew the method. At first Vegapunk was also part of the illegal science group of Punk Hazard, which means both him and Caesar did experiments on humans (prisoners, Kaido, Alber, but not kids, but it's still experimenting on humans). All things considered it doesn't have to be a stretch that Law might mean Vegapunk here, after all he did read a lot about world government's experiments that were previously done on Punk Hazard (he did share a bit about gigantification for example and that was also an experiment Vegapunk was involved in!).
2. It could have been Judge, but I don't think Law ever met him. His surprise at seeing Stealth Black for real was enough of a proof to me, he never met any Germa before.
Remember Flevance and all the kids dying? Or Law's novel when one of the first feats Law does after forming Heart Pirates together with Bepo, Shachi and Penguin is to rescue people from pirates? I even think it mentions "rescue kids" specifically.
Staying on Punk Hazard and having a deal with Caesar who experimented on kids and Law having no idea about it must have been a big blow to him. He probably thought he's partially responsible for that. And despite the fact we don't see much of his emotions in that arc, we do see two little hints of it:

Overreacting much? He didn't really need to cut them up, seems like he released his anger there.
This one's easy to miss. He eats while looking at the kids, gulps his soup in one go and throws away the bowl. For someone so calm and composed that seems like such an uneccessary display and has like nothing to do with his talk with Smoker. But if we compare it to a certain someone having a flashback to his trauma, it all suddenly makes sense:
I see the parallel here, even though it's subtle.
In summary: Law wasn't a cold bitch, he was actually genuinely traumatized after Punk Hazard. That line between "good" and "evil" the marines painted feels even more symbolic, all things considered. Law believes himself to be a villain there and hates it.
Bonus: Yes, I remember that Law told Strawhats to forget about the kids when they told him they want to save them. He probably thought they can't pull it off or maybe he still felt bound by his deal with Caesar. Instead of being a counterargument I feel like it just makes the whole thing worse: he thought there's no way to save them which in turn for sure made him feel even worse about himself. He ended up being what he hated the most: the government's decision of not even trying to help Flevance and dooming it, just like Law himself doomed the kids.
Strawhats literally saved his heart a little bit there, in Punk Hazard. Didn't help him feel better about himself, but made him believe slightly more in miracles.

Between Two Beasts


inspired by this art
A/N: because of my weird brain that seems to be crushing on these handsome bastards, and the amazing @lxshoxk drawing i got inspired to write this strange combination, sorry this got kinda long if i hadn't stopped myself this would've been even longer Word count over 5k
Plot: you are one of Crocodiles most trusted and loyal agents and been in a relationship with him for some time and when the cross guild meets the red hair pirates you catch sight of shanks' handsome first mate and tease crocodile about how you would love to seduce Beckman and Crocodile giving you the go though not without warning you and soon you find yourself between two dominant beasts
Warnings: kinda "mean" Beckman, teasing, edging, oral (give and receive), voyeurism, p in v, threesome, age gap (or at least that'swhat i had in mind while writing), everything consensual, not proofread, â ď¸ MDNI â ď¸
Characters: Beckman x F!Reader x Sir Crocodile
The Cross Guildâs arrival at the Red Hair Piratesâ territory was nothing short of a spectacle. Buggy and Shanks had already fallen into their usual chaotic banter, their voices carrying across the deck like the echoes of an old married couple. Shanks even managed to drag Mihawk into it all, though the latter tried to pretend he wasnât involved in any of this.
But you werenât paying any attention to them.
Your gaze had settled on Benn Beckman, the Red Hair Piratesâ first mate, lounging a short distance away with a cigarette perched between his fingers. He was watching the chaos with lazy amusement, broad shoulders relaxed, an air of quiet confidence wrapped around him like an old, well-worn coat.
Something about him caught your interest maybe it was the way his sharp eyes held intelligence, or the roughness to his features that made him look like heâd seen more than his fair share of lifeâs ugliness. He was older, rugged, his gray hair slicked-back only making him look more refined.
You took a slow sip of your drink and smirked. âDamn,â you mused just loud enough for Crocodile to hear, tilting your head as you admired Beckman shamelessly. "He's almost as attractive as you"
A scoff beside you. âHn.â
Crocodile barely looked at you, his cigar resting between his fingers, eyes flicking toward Beckman before settling back on the horizon. Unimpressed.
Your smirk widened. âWhat? You jealous?â
His gaze slid to you now, sharp and unreadable. âHardly. You just seem to have a loud mouth.â
"And you love that mouth" you teased.
He took a drag from his cigar, exhaling the smoke in a slow, measured breath though he couldn't hide the small smirk. âGo ahead. See if you can charm him.â
It was a challenge, laced with amusement and something darker beneath the surface.
Your lips curled as you leaned against the railing. âOh? You think I canât?â
Crocodile chuckled low, shaking his head. âI think heâd fuck you, sure.â His voice dipped into something dangerous, something possessive. âBut you wouldnât last a day with him AND me.â
You raised an eyebrow. âAnd whyâs that?â
âBecause youâre blind to whatâs beneath that quiet charm.â He tapped ash from his cigar, eyes glinting. âBeckman isnât what he seems, little flower. You know how bad I can be and that man is just as much a predator - heâs just better at hiding it.â
You blinked, glancing back at Beckman. To you, he looked relaxed, calm perhaps a little amused by Shanksâ antics, but otherwise indifferent. Gentle, even.
You laughed, shaking your head. âYeah, right. Seems more like you're a little jealous and afraid that I might try something and now you wanna scare me offâ you said sheepishly as you turned towards him your finger tracing over his shirt.
Crocodile chuckled again, but this time there was something knowing in it, something that made your skin prickle. He leaned in slightly, his voice dropping to a near whisper as he put his hook under your chin and made you look up to him.
âYou think heâs all soft words and charming smirks,â he murmured, âbut put him in the right situation, and youâll see what heâs really like.â He tilted his head, exhaling another slow cloud of smoke. âAnd trust me, little flower he wouldnât say no to you.â
The way he said it sent a strange thrill through you. You had never really thought of Beckman that way. Sure, he was attractive, but you hadnât considered that underneath his laid-back demeanor was something more, something just as dark, just as consuming as what you had with Crocodile.
You turned back toward Beckman, your eyes narrowing slightly in thought.
And then Beckman looked at you.
It wasnât a fleeting glance. It wasnât dismissive.
His eyes met yours, steady and unreadable, and for a brief moment, something flickered in them, something that made your pulse quicken, as he gave you an almost knowing smirk.
Crocodile dragged his cigar to his lips as if he could already see the wheels turning in your head.
âGo on, then,â he murmured, voice laced with amusement. âSee for yourself.â
âYou wouldnât last a day with him and me.â
You had laughed, brushing it off. Beckman was attractive, sure, but he wasnât Crocodile. He didnât carry that same raw, overwhelming presence, that coiled danger thrumming beneath his skin like an unspoken promise. Beckman was smooth, relaxed, casual in a way that had fooled you into thinking he was just another man who knew how to charm a lady.
So when you made your move with flirty smiles, teasing words, just enough touch to test the waters, you thought you were in control.
Oh but how wrong you were.
You realized it the moment Beckmanâs arm wrapped around your waist, pulling you in with effortless strength, his cigarette-stained breath warm against your ear.
âYou sure about this, sweetheart?â His voice was slow, deep, amused. But there was something else there, something Crocodile had warned you about.
You felt the shift in the air before you fully processed it. The moment the game you thought you were playing flipped on its head.
Beckman wasnât chasing.
He was hunting.
Before you could say anything, he had you pinned against the nearest surface, the full weight of his body pressing into yours, not crushing, but holding you exactly where he wanted you. His knee nudged between your thighs spreading them, his hands warm and firm as they pinned yours to the surface behind you.
His grip on your wrists was unyielding, pinning them above your head as he held you in place. Every move you made only reminded you of how much control he had over you. You couldnât escape his grasp - not even a little.
You gasped, and that damn smirk of his deepened.
âYou come looking for trouble, and you find it.â
You shivered, a thrill of something familiar crawling up your spine. This wasnât the playful seduction you had in mind. Beckman was slow, methodical - patient in a way that made your skin prickle with anticipation. He didnât rush, didnât let you pull away, but he also didnât let you fully catch your breath.
And then, when you thought things couldnât get any worse, you heard Crocodileâs low, dark chuckle. He sat there like a king his cigar between his lips and a glass of whiskey in his hand as he watched with unconcealed amusement.
âWhat happened to all that confidence, little flower?â His voice was thick with enjoyment.
Your breath hitched, your face burning as you turned your head, glaring at him. âYouââ
Crocodile exhaled a long, slow cloud of smoke, watching the way Beckmanâs hands skimmed over your body with practiced ease. âYou ignored my warning,â he murmured, voice like silk and sand. âNow look at you.â
Beckman hummed in agreement, his grip tightening slightly as his lips brushed just below your ear.
âI gotta say,â Beckman mused, âI thought youâd put up more of a fight.â
The words sent a rush of heat straight to your core, and the smug bastard knew it.
You wanted to reclaim even a sliver of control, but Beckman wasnât letting you. And Crocodile? He was enjoying this. Shamelessly. He made no move to intervene - not yet. He just sat there, watching, letting Beckman have you for now.
Beckmanâs grip on your wrists shifted until only one of his hands held both of yours. His fingers trailed down over your lips and throat, his voice dipping lower. âStill think you can handle me, sweetheart?â
You had walked into this thinking you could seduce him but instead, you had become the prey. And god how much you loved it.
And Crocodile knew it.
The way he sat there, legs spread lazily, cigar smoldering between his fingers, drink in hand was infuriating. Amusing himself at your expense, watching you squirm under Beckmanâs hands, under the weight of your own miscalculation.
You wanted this, donât pretend otherwise, his eyes told you.
And Beckman was taking his time.
âI donât think she realizes what sheâs gotten herself into.â Beckmanâs voice was a slow drawl, filled with something dark, something knowing.
Crocodile, exhaling a stream of smoke. âOh, she does.â His gaze burned through you, drinking in the way your breath hitched as Beckman pressed you tighter against the wall. âShe craves this.â
You wanted to deny it to throw something sharp and biting at Crocodile, to wipe that smug smirk off his face. But Beckmanâs hands - large, calloused, patient - were making it impossible to think.
âYouâve been playing with fire, sweetheart.â Beckmanâs lips brushed your jaw, deceptively gentle. His fingers skimmed over your sides, gripping your hips, holding you there as his knee nudged up higher between your thighs. âDidnât anyone ever tell you what happens to girls who tease too much?â
Your pulse thundered. You swallowed, but no words came.
Crocodile hummed, tipping his cigar between his fingers. âThey get put in their place.â
The heat in your gut twisted violently. Crocodile had done this to you before, had made you crumble under the weight of his control, had torn you apart just to put you back together again. But thisâthis was different. This was both of them.
âYou couldâve stopped me,â you managed to say, voice weaker than you wanted.
Crocodile grinned, slow and cruel. âCouldâve.â He leaned forward slightly, resting his elbow on his knee, watching you fall apart in real time. âDidnât want to otherwise I'd have missed this show.â
Beckmanâs fingers traced up your spine, curling at the base of your neck. âI can see why he keeps you,â he murmured, lips just barely grazing your skin.
You sucked in a sharp breath, heart hammering. Every nerve in your body was screaming, caught between the ruthless attention of them both.
Crocodile took a sip from his drink like a king surveying his entertainment. âGo on, then,â he purred, voice thick with amusement. âLetâs see if you can handle him.â
Your stomach flipped, heat rushing through you because from the way Beckmanâs grip tightened, from the way his breath fanned against your throat, from the raw, hungry look in his eyes -
You werenât sure you could but hell you were willing to let him do whatever he wanted.
And Crocodile was going to enjoy every second watching you.
Beckmanâs hands let go of yours and they roamed with slow, predatory ease, mapping out every inch of you, his body pressing firm against yours, caging you in. His scent - smoke, salt, and something deep and masculine - was intoxicating, dizzying even.
Your own trembling hands reached for his shirt skittering over the muscules beneath it.
âYouâre shaking,â he murmured teasingly against your skin, his lips brushing the sensitive spot just below your ear.
Beckman was relentless. Every touch, every word, every slow, teasing drag of his fingers was deliberate testing you, stretching you to your limits. And Crocodile, the bastard, just sat there, watching, reveling in your unraveling.
âYou wanted this,â Beckman reminded you, voice slow, low, dark. His eyes flicked past you, toward Crocodile, before returning to yours with something sharper, something dangerous. âDidnât you?â
He took his time, dragging his fingertips down your ribs, forcing a shudder from you. Then, his lips brushed your ear again, his voice silky and deliberate. âYou wanted to play, sweetheart. But youâre not in charge here.â
Crocodile watching from the sidelines, with eyes gleaming with cruel amusement. A slow, deliberate puff of smoke curled from his cigar, and he leaned back casually.
You gasped as Beckmanâs thumb ran over the curve of your waist, a soft, gentle pressure that made your breath hitch and your back arch. You needed more. But he wasn't giving you more not yet and your body trembled with frustration.
And then, just as your frustration reached its peak, his fingers traced the edge of your collarbone. You gasped, biting your lip to stop from moaning.
âYou like this, donât you?â Beckman whispered, as though reading your mind. âLike being pinned down, unable to do anything but take it.â
His hand slid up to your throat, not squeezing, just resting there, thumb tracing lazy circles against your pulse and your breath hitched and your knees buckled when his teeth bit down on your collarbone
Crocodile laughed, deep and rich, the sound sending a sharp spike of heat through your core. âLook at you,â he mused, eyes glinting with pleasure. âFucking ruined already.â
"Am not" you breathed though you didn't sound very convincing.
Beckmanâs hand moved from your throat down to the hem of your shirt before slipping underneath it making you shiver visibly as it at first gently caressed your belly before moving higher but stopping before he got where you wanted him making you whine.
You could feel the heat radiating from Beckmanâs body as his hands moved to your sides, fingers brushing your skin lightly. It was almost cruel how gentle he was, his touch so calculated it sent waves of tension rippling through your entire body.
"Youâre so sensitive," Beckman murmured, his voice rough and low in your ear. His thumb traced the curve of your hip, barely grazing it, but the sensation made your heart race. He felt your breath hitch, and a smirk curved on his lips. "Canât even stand a simple touch, can you?"
He leaned in, his lips brushing the side of your neck, his breath hot against your skin. For a moment, his hands moved lower, tracing the waistband of your pants, and the tension in your body spiked.
âDoes it feel good to be this helpless?â Beckman teased, his voice a hushed growl that made you shiver. His hands roamed, slow and possessive, pushing you towards the brink of madness.
Crocodile watched intently, his eyes flashing as he leaned forward slightly, voice barely above a whisper. "Let him have his fun, but donât forget who you belong to." His words settled over you like a weight, reminding you that your submission to Beckman didn't mean you were his, no you belonged to Crocodile.
As you arched your back Beckmanâs hand slid up your spine, feeling the tremble of your body under his touch. He pulled you closer to press his lips against yours in a rough, possessive almost punishing kiss. His tongue swept into your mouth as his hand gripped your hair, tilting your head to give him better access.
You gasped, overwhelmed by the heat of his kiss and the need that built inside you. Crocodile chuckled softly, and it sent a shiver through you.
Beckmanâs fingers curled against your jaw, tilting your face toward his. âI think sheâs close,â he murmured, amusement laced in every word.
âYou love it don't you sweetheart. Being put in your place.â He leaned forward slightly, watching your lips part, your eyes flutter. âLook at you. A mess already.â
Your nails dug into Beckmanâs arm, searching for something to ground you, but all you found was the steady, unrelenting strength of a man who wasnât letting go.
Your breath hitched again as Beckmanâs hand trailed lower, fingers rough and teasing your inner thigh and his lips attacked your neck with soft kisses and blissfully painful bites.
Beckman smirked against your skin, his voice a low, husky murmur. âStill think youâre the one in control, sweetheart?â
And then you moaned. Not too loud but you still did .
"Looks like someone is a little needy" Crocodile taunted, eyes gleaming with amusement. âGo on, beg for it."
A small whimper escaped your lips "please"
Crocodile smirked. âLouder.â
"Fuck I need you." you gasped.
Beckmanâs lips curled into a smirk. His fingers slipped into your pants tracing over your cunt before teasing your entrance. His movements were slow, controlledâeach one calculated to make you ache for more, to make you crave the release he was so deliberately withholding. He let the palm of his other hand rest against your ribs, pressing firmly enough that you couldnât move, couldnât squirm, just forced to feel the control he had over you.
âSo wet already. Tell me you want it,â Beckman said softly, but his words were an order as he teasingly let one finger slip inside you. âTell me you need me to touch you properly.â
Your breath caught in your throat, your pulse was racing. You were panting. Begging for the release that was just out of reach.
âYou heard him,â Crocodileâs voice was like a whip, sharp and demanding. âSay it, tell him how much you want it. You know you want to.â
Beckman withdrew his fingers and pulled his hand out of your pants only to have his thumb trace circles on your inner thigh inching closer to where you wanted him again, his touch like fire, but never where you needed it most. âSay it,â he repeated, his voice quiet but unwavering.
The pressure of his body against yours was unbearable, his form completely blocking your escape. Every part of you ached with need, yet you were still held in place and denied. Your mind was starting to spiral, but you couldnât help it. You could feel how much you needed to surrender, how you were breaking under their combined presence. As Beckman coaxed moan after moan and whimper after whimper out of you.
Until your voice cracked, the words spilling out of you like a whispered confession.
âPlease... touch me... properly.â you moaned.
Beckman chuckled softly, and Crocodileâs dark chuckle joined in, like a predator savoring a kill.
âGood girl,â Beckman murmured his fingers ghosting over the waistline of your pants, before pulling them down letting them fall to the floor leaving you in your underwear.
His fingers moved closer to your center teasing you through the fabric and just when you thought he might finally give you what you needed he pulled back. Making you whimper in frustration.
And Crocodile was watching it all unfold, enjoying your torment. âYou shouldâve known better,â he sneered. âYouâre not in charge here. Not anymore.â
Beckmanâs grip on you was firm, unyielding, holding you in place with the same effortless control he used to steady his rifle. His touch was rough where it needed to be, teasing where it could drive you mad. He was patient - too patient - drawing every reaction from you like he had all the time in the world to play. Enjoying the way you squirmed underneath him.
Meanwhile Crocodile's eyes never left you, and though he remained in his seat, his entire body betrayed him - the way his fingers gripped the armrest, how his jaw tightened at every moan you let slip, every way your back arched, the growing tension in his posture. You knew exactly what he was thinking - he was dying to join in his possessiveness taking over.
At one point, as Beckmanâs fingers slipped inside your underwear again teasing you making you moan and grip Beckman's shirt tightly Crocodile leaned forward, eyes gleaming, and his voice barely more than a dangerous whisper. âI donât know how much longer I can watch you enjoy this, hear you make all these sweet sounds, little flower.â His words were slow, deliberate, like a promise, but the tension in his voice made it clear that he couldn't hold back much longer.
The heat in the air was palpable, thick with unsaid things. Crocodileâs smirk was devilish as he rose and stepped behind you hand teasingly tracing over your back. The tension in the air thickening.
Beckmanâs fingers continued to graze your skin, slow and deliberate, teasing just enough to leave you breathless. The heat of his touch was relentless, each passing second made you ache for more, yet he refused to give you what you craved. His voice, low and dark, came in a whisper near your ear.
âYouâve been so patient,â he said, his words dripping with mockery and lust. His finger traced down to the hem of your shirt and with a swift motion pulled it over your head revealing that you were bare beneath it.
"Naughty girl" you heared Crocodile whisper in your ear from behind and sending a shiver down your spine. Beckman was now tracing a finger from your collarbone down between your breasts to the waistband of your underwear, just barely grazing your skin, sending a jolt through your body making you shiver, the sensation maddening as Crocodile held you in place.
The heat between your legs was unbearable. Every breath felt heavy, each word from them adding weight to your chest, making it harder to breathe. You were trembling, unable to escape the pull of their dominance.
As Beckmanâs hand slipped lower, tracing the curve of your waist, Crocodile let his hook trace over your neck down to your breast while his hand gripped your hair tilting your head back.
âYou thought you could take control, didnât you?â His voice dangerously calm. âYouâve got so much fire in you - so much confidence. But now, youâll see what happens when youâre caught in the middle of us."
You wanted to answer but all you got out was a loud moan as you felt Beckmanâs lips trail a path from your chest down to your underwear. He knelt down before tugging your underwear down ripping the fabric in the process. He looked at your naked form, held in place by Crocodile before he gripped your thighs to spread your legs a little wider and placed a warm kiss on your center making you moan loudly.
Meanwhile Crocodile shifted his attention to your breasts teasing one nipple with his fingers the other carefully with the tip of his hook.
Your head was spinning. Your body felt like it was on fire, stretched thin between the two of them.
"Oh fuck" you moaned as you felt Beck's tongue between your folds and his thumb circling your clit while Crocodile kept teasing your nipples mercilessly.
"That's it love, let me hear you, tell him how much you love this" Crocodile murmured into your neck his lips sucking on the sensitive skin.
"Fuck Beck, I.....I love it. I'm gonna......gonna cum" you gasped your back arching his mouth driving you crazy and Crocodile's teasing touches making you tremble. You threw your head back but without warning, Crocodileâs hand withdrew from your nipple and closed around your chin, forcing your head to look down to Beckman who had his eyes fixed on yours from between your legs his lips and tongue bullying your center relentlessly.
"Look at him, little flower. How he devours you, makes you feel so good" Crocodile grumbled in your ear his breath brushing against the side of your neck. As you had no choice but to look down.
âYou wanted to tease us, didnât you?â Crocodileâs voice was calm, but with a dangerous edge. He held your chin tightly, forcing your mouth to part slightly, tracing the line of your jaw before he slipped one finger inside your mouth for you to suck on it making him grunt lowly in your ear. âNow, look at him. Look at what youâve caused.â His grip on your chin tightened, pulling your gaze back toward Beckman.
âYou wanted this, didnât you?â You answered him with a moan against his finger. You were trembling, feeling heat rush to your cheeks. The way Beckman looked at you and Crocodile's verbal teases and grunts sent you over the edge and you came hard.
Crocodile pulled his finger out of your mouth as you gasped for breath, heart racing. When Beckman got up he kissed you to let you taste yourself and wrapping his arm around your waist to steady you while Crocodile made his way to the bed.
You felt Beckmans warmth pressing against you. His lips grazing your ear as he saw you look at Crocodile. âDonât worry,â he murmured, voice low and almost playful, but laced with a dangerous edge, âyouâll get exactly what you deserve.â His hand slid around your waist, pulling you into him with an iron grip.
And in the next moment, you were utterly lost, your body betraying you as Beckman moved with precise, calculating intent, forcing you to your knees.
âThat's it,â Crocodile purred from the bed, his voice low âCrawl to me. You like it, donât you? How it feels when someone takes control.â
You looked up at him still exhausted from your orgasm yet you put your middle finger up. "Still so feisty" Crocodile mused. Yet you did crawl over to him, pushing him back down onto the bed straddling him and kissing him hungrily, ripping his shirt open. Crocodiles hand tangled into your hair pulling you closer his hook gracing your side, while your hands roamed his chest.
You gasped and flinched as Beckmanâs hands teased the soles of your feet not outright tickling you but the touch still maddening, reminding you that he's still there and then moved up to the back of your thighs and the curve of your butt before he smacked it making you squeak into the kiss with Crocodile. His hands moved teasingly up and traced along your spine firm and possessive making you shudder. His fingertips making your skin burn and then another smack on your ass that made you squeal all while you continued your heated and passionate kiss with Crocodile his tongue sliding inside your mouth.
When you broke the kiss teeth pulling at his lower lip Crocodile smirked. "You didn't think I'd watch you without getting my own fair share did you?" He growled and you smirked.
"Of course not, you're still my number one" you purred into his ear giving his earlobe a bite before moving down to unbuckle his pants pulling them down. He was already hard.
âYou sure you can handle both of us, sweetheart?â Beckman, still behind you, murmured lowly, his lips brushing the shell of your ear.
You looked over your shoulder and smirked smugly at him.
Before giving Crocodile's shaft teasing kitten licks moving on to focusing on his tip. Smirking up at him as he growled almost animalistic. How you loved that sound.
Meanwhile Beckman grapped your hips and adjusted you for him making sure your ass was up. You were so focused on Crocodile's cock that you didn't even hear when Beckman unzipped his pants until you felt him aligning himself with your cunt.
Beckmanâs tip was teasing your entrance while you slowly put Crocodile's cock in your mouth getting used to the stretch, making him grunt the moment he felt your warm lips around him, instinctively grabbing your hair and guiding you.
And as you began bobbing your head Beckman pushed inside you making you moan against Crocodile the vibration against his cock sending a shiver through him.
Soon the room was filled with low grunts, muffled moans and the creaking of the bed.
"Fuck love you're doing so good, I'm close and you better swallow it all" Crocodile grunted as his grip on your hair tightened the tip of his hook gracing your back.
You were moaning against him one hand playing with his balls while Beckman pushed into you from behind making your heart race, your body tremble and your eyes water from the pleasure. And then you felt the warmth in your mouth, Crocodileâs grip on your hair loosen.
"I'm cumming" he growled and you swallowed it all before slowly pulling away only to let out a loud moan as you felt Beckmanâs hand reach for your clit rubbing it. His grip on your hip tightening surely leaving a bruise.
"Taking me so well sweetheart" he grunted increasing the pace, while Crocodile, still panting, moved his hand to fondle your breasts and tease your nipples.
It didn't take long for Beck and you to reach your own orgasm and when you did you screamed out in pleasure and collpased on your back on the bed.
You were spent. Every inch of your body felt like it was floating in a haze, limbs heavy and tingling with aftershocks. The heat still radiating through your skin. Your clothes were scattered across the room in a chaotic trail, discarded in the frenzy of passion and control that had washed over you.
Your body felt like lead, every muscle overworked and trembling because of what just happened. You barely registered the sheets against your skin, your mind too fogged with exhaustion and pleasure to focus on anything but the deep ache left behind.
Crocodile was the first to move, his broad frame resting beside you. He didnât say anything at first, only watching you with that slow, satisfied smirk he always had when he pushed you to the edge. His hand, still warm from everything before, was gentle as he cupped your face, wiping away the sweat from your brow with the back of his hand before he let it drift down and over your stomach, an absentminded touch, possessive even.
Beckman, still catching his breath, stood at the edge of the bed, rolling his shoulders as if shaking off the remnants of indulgence. His sharp eyes flickered down to you, amusement dancing in them as he took in your completely spent form. He chuckled, reaching for his cigarettes, the rasp of a match breaking the silence.
âWell, sweetheart,â he murmured, exhaling a slow stream of smoke, âIâll give you credit, you aimed high. But you really thought you could handle me?â His smirk deepened as he leaned down, his fingers barely ghosting over your inner thigh, teasing, but without any real intent behind it anymore.
âYouâre beautiful,â he murmured, his voice still deep, a stark contrast to the tenderness of his touch. He placed a kiss on your thigh, slow and lingering, like a promise. You let out a soft, shaky breath, the sensation of his lips against your skin making your entire body shiver, even in your exhaustion. You were overwhelmed, your senses still spinning.
Crocodileâs grip on your waist tightened slightly - not possessive in an aggressive way, but just enough to remind Beckman, and you, of where you belong. âYou thought you could play with both of us,â Crocodile mused, his voice rich with amusement. âLook at you,â he whispered, voice laced with something softer now. âCompletely wrecked...â He tilted your chin up with his hook, forcing you to meet his gaze, even in your dazed state. â..completely used up.â His thumb brushed your lower lip, and you couldnât help but lean into it, exhausted but still needing him.
Beckman hummed in agreement. âAnd she thought she could seduce me.â He grinned around his cigarette, eyes locked on you, knowing damn well that he had been the one in control the entire time. âCute.â
You were too drained to even argue, your limbs too heavy to move, your mind still swimming in the haze of everything that just happened.
Crocodile watched you for a long moment before exhaling. He shifted, letting you rest against him, fingers absentmindedly stroking your hair. âHope you learned your lesson,â he muttered, amused and satisfied. His touch was still possessive, but there was an undeniable love to it - a deep affection that made your heart race even as your body ached.
Beckman chuckled again and stepped back, rolling his shoulders as he grabbed his coat. âIâll leave you two lovebirds to it,â he said, though there was still that teasing undertone in his voice. âNext time, sweetheart, just remember I donât say no to a beautiful woman, though i doubt he will let us have a next time.â he added looking from you to Crocodile.
With that, he turned to leave and as the door closed behind him Crocodile gave you a knowing smirk. âYou're lucky I gave in to your desire and let him play with you.â
His fingers brushed over your shoulder, his voice low and smug as he murmured, âNext time you get a stupid idea like that⌠Iâll remind you exactly who you belong to without letting anyone else have a taste. You belong to me, only me.â
You couldnât help the weak, breathless smile that tugged at your lips, even though your body felt like it could barely function. You still felt that same fiery rush of desire, despite the exhaustion. Your mind was still a bit foggy, your limbs like jelly, but you were contentâmore content than youâd ever been.
His words sent a final shiver through your exhausted body. You knew, without a doubt, that this wasnât just a lessonâit was a warning. And next time, Crocodile wonât be so generous.
âIâm yours,â you breathed, your voice hoarse, barely above a whisper.

Could you do prompts 1, 4 and 16 by asirensrage for Shanks from One Piece?
I can try, yeah. Hopefully it's a good plot for Shanks. Here's Shanks having a favorite bartender.
Prompts Here
Yandere! Shanks Prompts 1, 4, 16
"Do you know how long I've watched you? You're perfect."
"If they touch you, I'll kill them. It's that simple."
"Sooner or later, you'll understand. I had to do this. This is for your own good, okay? Let me take care of you."
Pairing: Romantic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Manipulation, Drinking, Clingy behavior, Overprotective behavior, Kidnapping, Possessive behavior, Blood, Violence, Stalking, Forced relationship.
Shanks tends to be at bars. Bars have good alcohol and with a pirate of his status, tend to welcome him and his crew. Even if it tends to run them dry of sake.
Shanks is quite used to parties. Parties happen to be one of his favorite things no matter the occasion. It keeps the spirit of him and his crew up, even as an Emperor.
Shanks had met you during one of his many bar hopping trips. His crew was all songs and sake when you met him. Plus they all seemed to have an appetite you find yourself trying to satisfy with the cook that works with you.
Shanks looked intimidating to you. That's understandable, he's an Emperor. He's got the influence of people like Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido. You fully expected him to be just as arrogant and terrifying.
Yet here he was, clearly not some lumbering beast of a man and he's drunkenly flirting with you... the bartender.
Admittedly, Shanks is charming. He's got charisma to make people trust him and seems more like a protector than the other Emperors. For a pirate... He seemed oddly uncontrolled by greed to you.
When Shanks first began flirting you often deflected or just smiled with a nod. You could see the flushed complexion on his face and knew better than to encourage a drunken captain. You were just here to serve him and his crew.
Yet Shanks kept coming back, even without his crew, as though this was his favorite bar...
Or maybe you were just his favorite person.
You had your suspicions, but either way you got along well with Shanks. He often came to your bar and sat at the counter, chatting away to you when he wasn't partying. Sometimes he was drunk, but he kept showing up more sober just to properly speak with you.
Shanks knew what he wanted. The more he talked to you, the more he wanted you. However, Shanks often tried to respect your wishes.
Being involved with an Emperor of The Sea can be daunting... but he still wishes for a little fling once in a while with you.
Shanks has had his eye on you a lot longer than you thought though. Since he first met you on your island, he's been sticking around. After all... you live in his territory...
Shouldn't he protect what's his?
Shanks is tolerant of other crews in his territory as long as they don't cause trouble. Your bar happens to be popular with pirates, not just Shanks. As a result... Shanks tends to watch over you.
At first it was curiosity... but that soon became infatuation. Shanks found nearly everything about you perfect. When he wasn't attending his duties, he was watching you like a lovesick teen.
Shanks had a feeling you knew somewhat of his obsession. How could you not when his words towards you are always sweet and affectionate promises? Shanks wants nothing more than to keep you close... to always have his eye on you.
Shanks even respected the fact you said no to his offers to take you with him as his own. That's fine by him. For now he'll just visit you to continue making his love known to you with sweet whispers between sake sips.
Shanks only stepped in when he sensed someone was trying to take what's his.
Shanks hated when other people felt they could flirt with you. Shanks always saw you as his, even when he was supposedly being patient with you. He knew he was going to have you at some point.
You don't typically have fights in your bar. Shanks' presence usually kept people in line. However...
You've never seen Shanks start one himself in your bar.
This was the day you realized just how dangerous and possessive the charming man in your bar is. It was another day where Shanks was sipping his sake and admiring you. Unfortunately... He wasn't your only admirer that day.
You were tolerating the flirting of a lone traveler at your. Shanks, however, was quick to stand and confront them. You try to calm down the Emperor, saying it's completely fine! You're alright.
To him, this wasn't fine...
That poor traveler was practically dragged out of your bar by the neck once Shanks was done with them.
By the time Shanks sat back down, you noticed the blood speckled over him. You tried to ignore it... he's just protective. Yet you knew the truth when Shanks started drunkenly babbling after a few sakes.
"Do you know how long I've watched you? You're perfect." Shanks chuckles with a grin, eyes looking up at you as if he saw the damn One Piece.
You ignore him, still glancing at the door to your bar. You weren't worried for the traveler. Yet you also didn't want to think of what Shanks said.
He's... just protective....
"Ohh, sweetheart... do you get admirers like that often...?" Shanks frowned, stull unable to pry his gaze from you as he held his cup. "You're such a pretty little thing... I'd really hate to share... They should know you're all mine...."
You tense when the Emperor sits up, gently holding your hand with the one hand he had. You look at him, unable to ignore the dark gaze he held. Despite it looking like he'd kill someone... his held adoration.
"If they touch you... anyone who admires you here or anywhere else... I'll kill them. It's that simple." Shanks murmurs, making a shiver run down your spine. "You're my treasure... not gonna give you up for anyone...."
"Uhh... Shanks?" You start, gently cupping his hand in yours as you clear your throat. "Thank you but... I'm alright. I think I should cut you off on the drinks... you're worked up...."
"Mmm... anything for you, sweetheart...." The Emperor mumbles, kissing your hands gently before pulling away.
After that Shanks seemed... mostly controlled.
Yet you still feared his growing obsession.
Unfortunately, Shanks wasn't getting over his infatuation over you, his favorite bartender. He kept offering for you to join his crew, to accompany him by his side. That, or at the very least, be his love officially and let him visit you often.
You kept trying to comply... but Shanks kept getting persistent.
Shanks is obsessed with the idea of taking care of you. He doesn't want to share you with any other drunk traveler. While taking you on his crew is dangerous... it's the only way for him to keep you to himself...
Eventually, that's good enough for him.
"My love... This is better for you. You won't have to work for anyone. You'll be mine...."
Shanks hated that you ignored his reasoning. He told you it was safer to take you with him on his ship in his fleet. It was a partial lie... in reality he wanted you for himself alone... but he was an Emperor.
You should be happy. You'll have a man who can protect, provide, and care for you! Do you hate his company that much...?
... it's a big change, maybe you just need more time.
"Sooner or later, you'll understand. I had to do this. This is for your own good, okay? Let me take care of you." Shanks whispers, looking down at you in the bed you now share. At the very least he managed to coax you into sleeping beside him.
You still refuse to speak to him. Shanks nods with a sigh before scooping you against his chest. He hears your breath hitch... which causes the faintest smile on his face.
"You'll realize we were meant to be, sweetheart... I promise..." Shanks whispers, gently kissing your forehead as he cuddles you in his quarters.
"I knew you were mine since I first saw you... I'll never let you go now that you're mine...."

Marvel hiring a cop loving pro genocidal shithead to play The Punisher is so fucking wild.
But then again, he was cast when Ike Perlmutter was still running things, so I guess that makes sense.
Anyway, fuck Jon Berthal, pirate everything that heâs involved in.

I can't now find where I mentioned it earlier but I wanted to expand on a thought about Black Sails as a tragedy. It's not so much about individual characters reaching particular endings. Rather, I think the central tragedy is that there is this fight - this war against the world, against civilization itself, which is the driver for everything Flint does and arguably the entire plot - that then doesn't take place. The story goes right up to the brink of this conflict, and by the end it's not just Flint raging alone against the world with whatever pirates can be persuaded to follow him, but it's Madi and the slave revolt and an entire people driven by what has been done to them and to their ancestors, it's something so much bigger than the individuals involved, with potentially world-changing consequences, history-changing consequences, an entire overturning of the colonising powers in the Americas.
And therein lies the tragedy, because we know the history, and we know that this story isn't just a Treasure Island prequel, it's interwoven with historical individuals as well and places itself in that context, and invites us to imagine what could have been while at the same time haunted by the spectre of how history actually plays out. The tragedy is that the war never happened. We know from the beginning that the war against civilization could never have been won in this story, but it still invites the imagining - what if, what if?
And so the audience is forced into the position of Silver, who is confronted with this vision of the future so ardently pursued and believed in by Madi and Flint, and cannot imagine it playing out. Silver, because he never believed in this fight to begin with and only knows that he will lose the ones he loves to it; us, because no matter how much we may believe in the cause, we know that they don't win, that there never was a slave uprising and pirate revolt that overturned the entire New World. Silver cannot bring that future about. All he can do is end the story.
Black Sails asks us to imagine, what if the treasure was not just a chest of gold, but an entire possible future that was killed and buried in the ground on a lost and forgotten island?

Hello! Could you do anything yandere shanks x female reader, but can you make it in a headcanon. Where shanks first meet the reader, how he got obsessed (was it "love at first sight") how he woos the reader, how he expressed his emotions, etc. But can you make it where that shank crew is obsessed with the reader, too? (Not romantically) more like a little sister/older brothers obsession. And they make sure no one gets the readers heart but shanks. But the reader later finds out about this and confront them about it and reveal that this was her (secret kink) but always kept it to herself because she knows it's not healthy, etc. How would they react? And could you do it in nsfw and sfw headcanon
WARNINGS: FEMALE READER + NOT PROOFREAD
NOTES: Super duper sorry anon, but I donât write nsfw. I still hope this is to your liking!
I imagine that Shanks first encounters you in a bustling port town, the kind where everything smells like saltwater and adventureâor maybe just fried fish, but weâll go with adventure. Youâre busyâmaybe working a stall, laughing with friends, or simply taking in the sights with this serene, unbothered expression. You stand out to him, not like a thunderbolt of âlove at first sightâ exactly, but more like a nagging feeling that something just clicked. Itâs like spotting a rare treasureâhe doesnât fully understand why heâs drawn to you, but he knows itâs significant. Itâs like finding a piece of his favorite puzzle that he didnât even know was missing.
At first, itâs just mild curiosity. Youâve caught his attention, and now heâs finding every excuse to watch youâcasually, of course. Heâs not a weirdo... not yet, anyway. Itâs all innocent in the beginning, but as time goes on, that curiosity becomes a full-blown obsession. He finds himself studying the way you smile, the way you tilt your head when youâre thinking, and even the way you roll your eyes when someone says something ridiculous. Itâs all too fascinating. Youâre like his own personal TV showâexcept the plot thickens with every episode. And oh boy, heâs hooked.
And thatâs when the possessiveness kicks in. Shanks starts convincing himself that everything you doâevery gesture, every laughâis somehow meant for him. Itâs a classic pirateâs mindset: when you spot treasure, you claim it. But Shanks, ever the suave captain, decides that this treasure is worth the wait. Heâs not about to rush in and scare you off, oh no. This isnât some quick plunder; this is a long game. Heâs willing to be patient, biding his time, and winning you over little by little. You might think heâs just being friendly or charismaticâafter all, heâs got that charm down to an artâbut every move he makes is a carefully calculated step closer to you. Creepy when you think about it, right? Unless youâre into it
Naturally, Shanksâ crew gets involvedâhow could they not? Theyâre a tight-knit bunch, practically a family, and if something or rather, someone is important to Shanks, theyâre all on high alert. They catch on to the way their captain looks at youâitâs not the usual playful grin or the casual glance he gives most people. No, itâs a look that says, âIâve found something I want to keep.â This man is intense and obsessed, and they can see it. So, being the loyal crewmates they are, they decide itâs their jobâno, their dutyâto help their captain out. Not that they think he needs the help (since heâs Shanks and all), but hey, why not give him an edge?
The crew quickly adopts the idea of you as their captainâs treasureâprecious and worth protecting. And just like that, youâre part of the family, whether you know it or not. They take on the role of overly protective brothers (whether theyâre older or younger doesnât matterâtheyâve all got that big sibling energy anyway). They make it their mission to watch over you, making sure youâre safe wherever you go. But theyâre not just watching from the shadowsâno, theyâre playing the long game, just like their captain is.
They know Shanks has enough charm to fill the Grand Line, so their strategy is different: theyâre trying to get you to seek him out more. Theyâve got complete faith in their captainâs charm; itâs just you who needs a little nudge in the right direction. They drop hints like, âOh, you know, Captain Shanks would love to see you at the tavern later,â or âWow, I bet the captain would be thrilled if you asked him about that.â Subtle, right?
As time goes on, they donât just see you as their captainâs potential love interestâthey genuinely start to see you as part of their crew. And in their eyes, that makes you family. Now, when someoneâs happiness is tied to their captainâs happiness, theyâre all in. They become more invested in making sure youâre content, safe, and most importantly, staying right where they want you.
Itâs all fun and games until you realize anyone getting too close to you except for Shanks is a problem. See, they want you to be a permanent part of their crew. Anyone who even thinks about getting too friendly with you instantly becomes enemy number one. Sure, theyâll try to avoid violenceâat first. But if they see you getting swayed by someone else, theyâre not afraid to roll up their sleeves and get a little more, letâs say, hands-on with the problem. Ruthless? Maybe. Necessary? In their eyes, absolutely.
This is where their âsiblingâ dynamic really comes into play. The way they see it, no oneâs good enough for their soon-to-be sister-in-law thatâs you, by the way except Shanks. They discourage any potential suitors by casually looming nearby, giving cold stares, or âaccidentallyâ interrupting conversations just as things start to get cozy. Theyâre there to make sure you stay unattached and grow more comfortable with Shanks and the crew. They gradually start making it clear that the only acceptable outcome is you being with their captain, and anyone else is just wasting their time.
And if you happen to be inexperienced in romance? Perfect! Theyâre thrilled. They take it as an opportunity to coach you, guiding you with all the expertise that only a bunch of rowdy pirates can offer. Theyâll give you tips some (good, some questionable) and make sure you know exactly how to charm their captain back.
Basically, any love life you had or might have wanted outside of Shanks is out the window. As long as this crew is around, youâre not finding any other suitorsâno chance, no way. Theyâll make sure the only person you ever have eyes for is Shanks. And if you were single before they met you, even betterâtheyâve got a blank slate to work with. Maybe Yasopp or Benn pat you on the back and say, âWell, lucky for you, our captainâs the best option youâll ever have.â
Shanks has this effortless charm about him thatâs practically impossible to resist. With his laid-back nature and easygoing smile, he knows exactly how to draw you in. From the very start, heâs friendly and approachable, making it feel like youâve known him for years. He knows how to make you feel at easeâhe cracks jokes, buys you drinks, and regales you with wild stories from his adventures at sea. Itâs hard not to feel comfortable around him when heâs so open and genuine, always acting like youâre old friendsâor maybe something more. And you? You start to think heâs just a normal guyâalbeit a pirate, but a friendly one. The truth? His charm of his isnât just naturalâthereâs a strategy behind it.
See, Shanks is playing a long game here. Beneath the friendly smile and the easy banter is a guy whoâs putting in work. Heâs paying attention to everythingâyour likes, your hobbies, and even the tiniest details. He notices what makes your eyes light up, the foods you prefer, the places you love to visit, and even the little things that make you cringe. Every time he interacts with you, itâs as if heâs reading straight from the playbook on âHow to Win Your Heart.â You think itâs just a coincidence that he always knows the right thing to say or do to make you feel special, but nopeâthatâs just Shanks doing his homework.
And itâs not just Shanks whoâs in on it; his crew is right there, playing their part like itâs a well-rehearsed performance. They hype him up constantly, making sure you know just how amazing their captain is. Theyâll tell you storiesâalways the ones where Shanks is the hero, the brave and selfless leader, or the guy who goes out of his way to help others. Of course, they know better than to lay it on too thick, but the message is clear: Shanks isnât just some ordinary pirate; heâs a guy worth betting your heart on. Theyâll casually mention his loyalty, his bravery, and his kindness, painting a picture of the ideal manâlike, really, who wouldnât want a guy like him? They frame it all so perfectly that you start to wonder if Shanks is exactly the kind of person youâve been waiting for. But little do you know, heâs been waiting for you!
It doesnât stop at words, either; the crewâs got action plans. Theyâll orchestrate these âcoincidentalâ moments where Shanks can swoop in like some dashing hero. Maybe your bag âaccidentallyâ slips off the dock, and thereâs Shanks, quick as lightning, retrieving it with that grin of his. Or perhaps youâre having a rough day, and suddenly Shanks appears with your favorite snack in hand, ready to lift your spirits. Itâs like clockworkâevery opportunity they get, theyâre making sure Shanks is there, saving the day or making things just a little bit easier for you. Itâs a collective effort, all geared towards making you see Shanks as the only option, the one whoâs been right there all along, just waiting for you to realize it.
When it comes to expressing his emotions, Shanks plays it smoothâreal smooth. Heâs affectionate, sure, but thereâs always that tiny hint of possessiveness lingering underneath, like a shadow just out of sight. Heâs subtle, though; he knows how to keep it from being obvious. He showers you with attention, and not in an overwhelming way, but just enough so you always know heâs thinking about you. It could be a small gift from his travelsâa trinket from a far-off island or a flower he swears is the rarest heâs ever seen. Or maybe itâs the little notes he leaves behind, simple but sweet, like a casual reminder that heâs never too far from your thoughts. Heâs always there when you need someone, even if you donât realize you need him. Shanks makes it pretty much impossible for you to forget about him.
And when others approach you, Shanks? Oh, he keeps his coolâlike, really cool. Heâs got that carefree smile and that laid-back attitude down to a science. Sure, he wants you all to himself, but part of his plan is patience. Heâs not about to lose his composure over some random individual trying to chat you upâno, no, heâs got the long game in mind. However, if someone starts getting a little too close for comfort, thatâs when youâll see him act. And trust me, when he does, itâs like a magician pulling off a trick. Maybe that person suddenly finds himself on the wrong side of a brawl with some random pirates, or they just âdecideâ to leave the island without a trace. Weird, right? Almost like they vanished into thin air. Shanks knows how to make things happen while keeping his hands cleanâor at least appearing to.
Eventually, you start putting the pieces together. You canât ignore the patternsâpeople who show interest in you either mysteriously vanish or suddenly avoid you like youâve got some kind of pirate plague. And then thereâs Shanks, who always seems to know everything happening in your life, almost like heâs got some sixth sense. Oh, and his crew? They just so happen to be wherever you are, ready to step in like overprotective siblings. Itâs all a bit too convenient, so you decide to confront them about it.
Shanks doesnât even try to deny it. In fact, he leans right into it, giving you the whole âIâm doing this for your safety; the worldâs a dangerous placeâ spiel. You know, playing the classic protector card. And, of course, his crewâs right behind him, backing him up like theyâre all in on this script. They swear theyâre only looking out for you, doing what any good âfamilyâ would do. They make it seem like itâs their sacred duty to keep you safe from any harmâor in this case, any potential love interests who arenât Shanks.
But when you drop the bomb and reveal that this was exactly what you secretly wantedâa possessive, obsessive kind of loveâthe reaction is priceless. Shanksâ face goes from a small hint of concern to this look of pure satisfaction. Itâs like youâve just handed him the keys to the treasure chest heâs been searching for lifetimes. Heâs definitely caught off guard for a second, but itâs the kind of surprise heâs thrilled about.
The crewâs reaction is just as entertaining. They look relieved and almost proud, like theyâve just gotten the ultimate validation. To them, itâs a sign that everything theyâve doneâall the lurking and schemingâwas the right move. You wanted this all along, so in their eyes, theyâre basically heroes. Now that youâve spilled the beans, they become way more open about their protectiveness, doubling down on their roles as your âbrothers.â Itâs like your confession flipped a switch for them, giving them free rein to crank up the possessiveness without feeling an ounce of guilt. If they ever felt guilty to begin with, that is.
From that moment on, theyâre even bolder with their interference. They donât bother hiding their efforts to scare off anyone who dares to get too close. In fact, they make sure you know that your place is with themâmore importantly, with Shanks. Heâs over the moon, acting like heâs won the ultimate prize. Knowing that youâre receptive to his obsession only fuels his determination to keep you all to himself. Now that youâve given him the green light, thereâs no turning back; his possessiveness has leveled up, and his crew is all-in, making sure the world knows youâre their captainâs treasure.
With everything out in the open, the dynamic between you, Shanks, and his crew hits a new level of intensity. Itâs like a silent contract has been signed: youâre theirs. Shanks cranks up the affection, pulling you even deeper into his orbit. Heâs always aroundâwhether itâs with charming smiles, playful touches, or just happening to be there when you need a shoulder to lean on. And his crew? Oh, they double down on their big brother act, making sure youâre never alone for a single second.
The crew practically builds an invisible barrier around you, creating a fortress of brotherly protection that no one can breach. Some poor soul tries to talk to you? Expect one of the guys to appear out of nowhere, putting an arm around your shoulder and shooting a âfriendlyâ grin thatâs a little too sharp. Youâre basically the most popular sibling in the overprotective pirate family now, and anyone who even thinks about getting close might as well just wave the white flag and walk away.
Theyâve turned âyou belong with usâ into their full-time job. If you ever wander off, itâs only a matter of minutes before one of them pops up with an âOh, there you are! Weâve been looking everywhere for you!â They act like itâs all in good fun, but thereâs no mistaking that underlying message: theyâre keeping tabs, and theyâre not letting you slip away.
And you canât help but feel the effect. They make you the center of their universe, their obsession, and honestly? Itâs kind of intoxicating. Sure, thereâs a part of you that knows itâs all a bit muchâmaybe even borderline unhealthyâbut when youâre surrounded by that kind of attention, itâs hard not to get swept up in it. And thatâs exactly how they want it. Youâre part of their âfamilyâ now, and theyâll do whatever it takes to keep you right where you are.
Shanks, of course, is the ringleader of it all. Heâs basking in the fact that youâve accepted his possessivenessâno, welcomed it. He knows itâs only a matter of time before youâre fully his, heart, body, and soul. And the crew? Theyâre just as invested in this little storybook endingâbecause, in their eyes, youâre not just their captainâs treasure; youâre their treasure too.

The more I watch Rebels, the more I begin to appreciate that the liberation of Lothal was a miracle of nothing less than Biblical proportions.
How many people were involved? Ten, fifteen maximum? One of the first of a new generation of Jedi, a Lasat survivor, an Imperial turned Rebel, a Mandalorian and her girlfriend, a pilot and her sicko astromech, a pirate, that kid whose name i forgor, an Ugnaught, and three clone veterans? There's NO way they should have succeeded in completely purging the planet of Imperial presence, but they DID.
They trapped every Imp in the dome by virtue of deception, launched THE Grand Admiral Thrawn into oblivion by making friends with mystical space whales, blasted every Imperial into ashes, and freed Lothal in the span of a few hours with only thirteen people and about two dozen star whales. And because this was only a year or so before the Battle of Yavin, the Empire didnt have the strength to try and take back the planet. This was a feat comparable in my mind to the Maccabean revolt, and now because of Ezras sacrifice and the Ghost crews efforts, Ezras homeworld was freed. The citizens of Lothals capital watched the flight of glowing purrgil and a rain of fire falling from the sky, and they were ALIVE and free.
And they didn't even use the help of the Rebel Alliance, they didn't do it for the Rebellion! They did it for LOTHAL, and if it weren't for Ezras love for his land he may NEVER have had the guts to do it, to refuse Palpatines temptation, to tell Thrawn to stick it, to yeet himself into the unknown cosmos, or to give up everything for his land God damn it God fucking damn it I feel sick

A Misuse of Potions 1- Hill Giant Strength
Wrote it, thought I should sit on it to better edit, then decided I ain't patient. Bon appetite.
Rated VERY E.
Astarion has a plan. A nice, simple plan. His love has been gone for almost a tenday, but now she's back, and he needs her to obliterate him in the best way possible.
Night has fallen. Apprentice spellworkers dart through the streets to light the lanterns as the pale wash of sunset fades into purple, and then black.
Astarion stands near the window overlooking the front street and the small, rather overgrown garden his love has been somewhat tending to.
Sheâs late.
Sheâs actually two days late, but heâs inclined to blame the wizard for that. No, she should have been here thirty minutes ago, right as the last curve of the sun sank behind the distant buildings and released the creatures of the night to their nefarious doings.
To which he would happily add his own misdeeds. Except that sheâs late.
Something happened. They were waylaid by pirates. A kraken rose from the deep to smash Waterdeep and pulled that wizard tower down on top of them, and her body is so human and so, so mortal. He needs to go. Needs to checkâ
Magic stirs below. The scent of cinnamon and licorice he always associates with Galeâs spells. A glimmer of purple flickers in the space right before their front gateâshe painted it teal and seemed quite pleased with herselfâbefore a shimmering, purple cloud unfurls taller and taller andâŚ
His breath sighs out of him. She emerges. Eleanor. His former leader, his friend, his love. Sheâs back. Sheâs home.
He lets the curtain fall back into place.
Theyâre plush things, and heavy. Purchased with him in mind and enchanted to boot. Usually, the moment itâs safe to do so, he throws them open to catch the fading light still painting the sky.
But not tonight. He doesnât care about the sky, today. And he doesnât want an audience.
Well, aside from one, anyway.
She unlatches the little gate and steps through. Her footsteps sound heavy. She must be tired. He hopes that wonât alter his plans. Because he did. Plan. Heâs getting better at that. But now sheâs late and itâs thrown him so he hurries down the stairs, soft as a sigh.
Not that he needs to. Her hearing is awful (she says itâs quite good for a human and he feels a twinge of pity at that). Plus their townhouse is enchanted against noise. Canât have the neighbors (he has neighbors) complaining about the screaming (itâs not even bad screaming; usually involves a lot of âyes, yes oh godâ even).
He hits the ground floor and surveys the room. Itâs nothing grand. Nothing like the mansion he still gets dragged to in reverie sometimes. But itâs bright and tidy (they pay someone for that, because it turns out neither of them is particularly good at housekeeping). The wooden floor is well-swept and decorated with colorful rugs and potted plants (dearest Eleanor says her people were farmers). The walls are covered in patterned wallpaper and bookshelves and trinkets, tapestries and paintings she should have haggled better for, but didnât because âgood art is worth the artist.â
It's very her. And, he thinks, it might possibly him, as well? Part of him? They change things as they need to as he figures that whole mess out.
But heâs really here to check that everything is in place. No elaborate staging, though. He chose his own clothes for his own reasons, for his own purposes. Heâs in their home. And it smells of them.
Or it did smell of them, And thatâs the problem.
Oh, his scent is everywhere. He canât escape that. But sheâs been gone the better part of a tenday, and itâs her thatâs beginning to fade.
The first, few nights were tolerable. He could nuzzle into her pillow and remember to breathe. The bedding smelled of her: rich blood, the linden soap she favors, and that wonderful, clean scent she carries on her skin. It was nearly enough for him to imagine he held her as he rested.
But the bedding wasnât warm, like her. And though the late, summer sunlight warms the stone walls of their home and chases away the burgeoning chill of autumn, there was no living body within the walls to fill it with heat.
She wasnât there. He was alone.
Heâs been alone before, of course. Was practically alone for two centuries before he threatened her on that beach (he sighs fondly at the memory: her on her back, staring up at him with what he initially mistook for a simpletonâs vacancy, but later learned was a vicious cunning) (when she wasnât tired) (and when what she calls her âbrain chemicalsâ were correctly balanced).
Then they were together (he feels himself smile) for a little over a year, now. And in that time, theyâve never been apart as long as this expedition of hers.
And now their home is too cold. Too quiet. And nerves twist his stomach.
Itâs almost hilarious. Centuries at seduction, and heâs now reduced to fussing over his clothing as he waits. Second guessing: where heâll stand, how heâll position himself. It used to be as effortless as, well, not breathing, but blinking, perhaps (even thatâs a stretch). He barely thought about it. Wasnât entirely present for more than half of it.
But now every moment drags. Her steps up their walkway. The way her lungs draw air. The beat of her heart and thereâs no one to witness the slight stumble as his knees go stupidly weak.
He ought to sneer at the thought. A little over a year ago, he would have done far worse. Probably stabbed someone. But now, itâs Eleanor and he missed her, gods help him, and he smooths his hands along his front and takes up position at the door. Waits untilâŚjustâŚthere.
Opens that door for her.
Her hand is raised to grab the knob. Now it hovers and slowly falls to her side as she boggles.
He chose well, it turns out. He doesnât need a mirror to know he looks good. Heâs retrieved his heels and laced them up. Unpacked another purchase he kept from her: a long, blood red dress of embroidered silk. Itâs a slim fit, meant to hug his form. Would be tight along the legs if it wasnât for the slit up one side.
The sleeves fall off his shoulders in a way he knows highlights them. She does love his shoulders (loves to clutch them as he works between her legs) (curl her head upon them as he reads to her) (dig her fingers in to try to ease the tense muscles when that blasted joke of an editor at the Baldurâs Mouth throws some feeble counterargument back at him).
But itâs the way her eyes follow along his collarbones to the dip that leads down his chest. Itâs his chest thatâs her favorite part of him (well, second) (alright, third because she says disgusting things like âyour eyesâ and âthe way you smileâ and âbut if you didnât have a mouth, I couldnât hear you talk about plaguesâ).
(And she means all of those statements; sheâll justâŚsit there and listen to him prattle onâ)
âGood evening, lover,â he purrs.
She almost drops all three bags she carries.

Yandere Monkey D. Luffy Headcanons (General)
''I can't be the King of Pirates without you by my side.'' â Monkey D. Luffy.
â đ â lady l: It's 4am and I decided to finish this because I was bored lol. Hope you like it! I'm sorry for any mistake and good reading! â¤ď¸đ
âtw: obsessive behavior, overprotection, mention of death and torture, unhealthy relationships.
âđpairing: yandere!monkey d. luffy x gender neutral!reader.
Monkey D. Luffy has a relaxed and even sloppy personality, in a way. He has a carefree air, who cares about few things in his life. He had a goal, a dream, in mind and he would do anything to achieve it. But that dream became irrelevant after he met you.
He insisted a lot on you joining his crew, literally chasing you, harassing you, until you agreed to become a pirate. Luffy jumped for joy when that happened, because it meant you responded to him, as your Captain.
Luffy doesn't like to give you orders and he will rarely do so, unless it is unavoidable, in which case he will try to be as subtle as possible, as if he wasn't ordering you to do something. He is the Straw Hat Captain, but he is not your captain, not in a personal way at least. Furthermore, he wants you to find One Piece together with him.
He is very optimistic and tends to be very kind, trying to see the good in people, but he is a hypocrite when it comes to you. Even if you were the cruelest person in the world, Luffy would defend you tooth and nail. He's not very fair when it comes to you and anything ''wrong'' you do will be ignored by him, maybe even applauded.
People tend to think he's dumb or at least stupid, but that's not true. He may not be good at things that require greater thinking, but Luffy is anything but stupid. He is quite intelligent in his own way and it shows in the way he acts towards you. His intelligence is characterized by his emotional ability, he is very good at reading you and knowing your needs.
Luffy values you more than the rest of his crew. He loves all his friends, but he loves you the most. He would never say it out loud, but he would sacrifice everyone, send them to their deaths, if you so wish. He wants to make you happy and if the death of those who are important to him is the path to that happiness, so be it.
He is not possessive or jealous because Luffy knows he is your favorite. He doesn't mind other people being around you, but he has his limit. If Luffy thinks, even a little, that he is being replaced in your life, he won't accept it. Not without a fight. He's no stranger to bloodshed or killing, so he'll have no problem doing so.
On the other hand, Luffy is extremely overprotective and clingy, to a frightening degree. He dragged you into this life, but he doesn't want you to be an active participant. The idea, the thought, of you getting hurt sends you into a frenzy of anger and worry. He will kill, cut and even torture the person who hurt you and will only be satisfied when he has finished with the person.
Luffy is quite controlling and curious, he wants to know everything about you and he will find out. He doesn't want any secrets to be kept from him and he may feel betrayed if you try to keep something from him. Did he not give you enough confidence? Don't you know he's the only one you can really trust? Luffy will have to do something about your inappropriate behavior.
He likes to spend as much time as he can by your side, take everything he can and stay close to you as much as possible. His favorite moments together are when you are eating or sitting on the bow of the Going Merry. Luffy is very greedy for food and for you, if there are two things he cares about most and values above all else, it's you and food, in that order.
It's not easy to irritate him, but he gets irritated very easily when you're involved. If someone says something bad about you, feel sorry for that person because they won't end well. Luffy would never go so far as to kill over an insult, but he will get upset and he can be a pain in the ass when he is upset about something.
Luffy often behaves like a child, he tends to go to extremes very easily. He goes from 80 to 180 very quickly, his infectious joy turns to fury very quickly when it comes to you. He loves to entertain you with his rubber body, letting you play or making funny faces. He loves to hear you laugh and will do anything to see you laugh.
He hates seeing you cry, hates seeing your beautiful face wet with tears, your lips pursed as you cry. If Hell exists, then for Luffy it's seeing you cry. He will become furious and demand to know the cause of your sadness and once he finds out, he will deal quickly, often bloodily. If it is one of the Mugiwara, however, he will just be more rigid and will not hurt them.
Luffy is selfless, he is willing to sacrifice himself for you, to save you. He is delusional to a fault, willing to kill anyone who crosses you, including his own friends. Whatever past hurt you may, if he has your approval, Luffy will get revenge for you. No one can hurt you, no one can make you cry. He may not be the most dangerous to you, but to others around him, Luffy will have no qualms.

David Jenkins Bluesky Fic (?)
(Is it really a fic when it comes from the creator of the show himself???)
As much as I love having him do this all (especially over such a long time), I need this as a text document (hope you don't mind, Sir @davidjenks [if so, let me know and I take it down])
I also edited it a little for easier reading.
1775. An editor comes into work on Christmas eve to find a manuscript on his desk. The title: A HISTORY OF PYRATES by Charles Johnson. (We have no budget so weâll say the editor is played by Michael Stuhlbarg).
He thumbs through the draft: a scene where a silly fancy pirate robs a fern from some fishermen. Another where he crosses blades in the moonlight with the legendary Blackbeard. Another where they pine for each other from a great distance.
He thumbs further, grudgingly interested. These two pirates settle down with each other. The start a B and B. Huh. The editor is interested now. He reads the last third of the manuscript in detail.
Open on a beach. Nancy Sinatraâs âYou Only Live Twiceâ plays (the track from the movie, this is important. It has the best intro and for some reason is only sporadically available on Spotify). We use the classic James Bond opening iris to find a now established inn on a beautiful stretch of beach.
White linen flows beautifully as itâs laid out on a table. Laid by co-innkeeper Ed, with great satisfaction. He lays out glassware. Perfect. Flowers. Perfect. He is content in this working meditation. He is precise in his adjustments to create beauty
Over the following: âYou only live twice or so it seems. Once for your life and once for your dreams.â
Meanwhile, a cluster of frustrated guests attempt to check in with a flustered Stede. The inn has become quite popular. A well-heeled family has hired it out to host a wedding banquet.
Theyâre dicks. Very demanding. This is a Christmas event and they want everything to be perfect. Stedeâs overwhelmed and put upon at the front desk, Edâs nowhere to be found. (Song: âYou drift through the years and life seems tame.â) The year is 1719, two years after the events of the second season.
The inn has become a bit of a bougie destination. A kitschy remnant of the bygone golden age of piracy run by two eccentrics who were apparently involved somehow.
Stede assures the guest of honor that their stay will be smooth. Theyâve rented out the entire inn after all. The guest asks him if the rumors of his pirate days were true. Stede says theyâre largely embellished. A marketing hook that has worked to attract attention.
---
First mate Jimenez (Jim to a lucky few) barks orders to the crew. New faces (tbd) in addition to old (Archie, Fang, The Swede, Lucius, Black Pete, Roach). Jim very much resembles Izzy in style with them own unique flair.
We see the ship has been rechristened âIzzyâs Revenge.â
Jim reports to the Captainâs quarters. They are approaching the English fleet, as instructed. âYeah, well, great, fantastic,â says Captain Frenchie. âInitiate plan A.â
The English fleet looks at the approaching ship. Surely it canât be pirates. No pirate captain is dumb enough to approach warships. They spy a white flag on the ship. The bridge appears to be on fire. The occupants seem to be merchants in distress.
Once aboard an English ship, Black Pete confirms they were indeed attacked by pirates. A Christmas Day attack no less. Clearly these pirates were godless and had no regard for a holy day. Lucius says they were bringing food and clothing to the poor on behalf of a Dutch merchant.
Tired and building a crib. Goodnight and merry Christmas Eve you beautiful bastards.
To be continued⌠*
The rest of the English fleet is dispatched to find and destroy the âpirate attackers.â The captain of the English fleet consoles our crew. Prince Richard has mostly cleared the seas of piracy. Heâs parlayed the destruction of the Republic of Pirates into becoming Governor of nearby New York.
Jim says theyâre huge fans of Prince Ricky. The captain tells them theyâre headed to his Christmas festivity in New York City. Frenchie feigns surprise at this. Heâd love to meet the Prince Governor. The captain laughs. His Highness doesnât make a habit of granting average merchants an audience.
Roach holds a knife to the captainâs throat. Perhaps heâll make an exception for these merchants. Captain Frenchie explains the survivors of the Republic of Pirates Massacre would like to send the Prince a Christmas gift. Pirates havenât been abolished. âWeâve just become more cautious.â
The English captain laughs. No matter what they do, these pirates are dead. Smoke appears in the horizon. The rest of the English fleet burns in the distance. Theyâve been ambushed by the other survivors. Five other pirate crews whoâve been biding their time since Rickyâs attack.
Jim invites the captain and crew to join or die. âYou silly puta bitches. We canât be wiped out. We have too much work to do.â Roach releases a carrier pigeon. The mainland should be alerted, the plan is in motion.
---
Meanwhile at the Inn, Ed regales guests about Stedeâs murder of Captain Badminton and Admiral Badminton. Heâs rewritten it to enhance Stedeâs cunning and ruthlessness. The guests hang on every word. Why did he murder both brothers? Ed supposes he did it for love.
Stede interrupts and calls Ed aside. Can he please help make up some of the rooms? Stede is drowning. Theyâre at full capacity. Ed bristles at this. Heâs really more of a âfront of the house guy,,â theyâve talked about this. Stede says thatâs not a thing. This is basically a two man operation.
Ed says Stedeâs being melodramatic. Thatâs why they hired Applejack, an amiable drifter who helps with odd chores around the inn (again, as our budget is unlimited, Applejack is played by Kevin Bacon).
A guest asks for an extra room key. Stede calls for Applejack, who runs to the front desk to help the guest. Stede says he wishes he had ten more just like him. Ed mutters âI bet.â Stede asks what thatâs supposed to mean? Ed says Stede gets nervous whenever Applejack is around. For some reason.
Stede denies this, but itâs clear he has an affinity for this handsome drifter turned handyman/bellman/bar back/chambermaid.
Stede: âApplejackâs a good man and a solid employee.â Still, even with the help, the inn has become a management feat. Itâs been two years since they discovered the place and renovated it, and a little over a year since it opened to customers. Ed and Stede never dreamed it would catch on so quickly.
Ed: âPeople like that we were pirates mate. Itâs one of the main things that draws a crowd.â Ed sees it as his job to tell stories of their buccaneering past even if he stops short of telling everyone he was the legendary Blackbeard.
For Stedeâs part, heâd just as soon leave that life behind. Heâd quit just as he was making a name for himself, which had been his lifelong dream. Better alive as Ed and Stede than dead as âGentlebeardâ as the couple were starting to be known in pirate lore.
How much time can one spend as a lawless brigand before their ticket gets punched? Their brush with Ned Lowe followed by the untimely death of Izzy Hands soured Stedeâs romantic notion of piracy. Less and less in love with death, he was increasingly scared of losing whatever life he and Ed shared.
Ed bristles at the mention of Izzy. He clearly feels Izzyâs death was his fault. And he was always worried that heâd pay for the horrible things he did to one of the only two people on earth who truly loved him unconditionally. Some not small part of him still feels cursed by the loss of Izzy.
Stede tells Ed itâs better if they just let the past be and make this work. He thought the inn was their ultimate reward. They havenât even gotten to build the bait shop addition yet. Ed: âBait shop?â Stede: âYes. Remember?â Ed: Why in the hell would we have a bait shop?â Stede: âYou donât remember?â Ed: âI said something about a bait shop? Mustâve been loaded, mate.â
Stede tells Ed it doesnât matter. What matters is they have a full inn, an event to plan, and Ed needs to do more than obsess about linens (Ed loves the linen management aspect of innkeeping) and tell tall tales of their criminal past to guests. Ed doesnât know who any of these people are. What if someone is looking for them? No more âfront of house/back of houseâ bullshit. They both need to do everything to make this place a success. Applejack can only help so much, heâs drunk half the time.
Ed, chastened, says heâll do what he can. Stede says he better. Heâs not changing his life a third time, this place needs to work. He marches off to deal with a wedding cake delivery. The icing is melting in the hot Caribbean sun.
Ed decides to take a smoke break. He puffs his pipe outside, talking to someone off camera. âI donât know, mate. Thought this was the thing. And I do love aspects of it. Flower arrangement. Linens. We spent a fortune on the linens, but god theyâre lovely. But it seems like weâre almost⌠roommates. Coworkers definitely. We built the place together and that was fun. But the whole customer service aspect. And you know, I donât think he even loves it? Spends half his time muttering in his sleep about The Revenge.â
Reverse to find Ed is talking to âIzzy.â Or his grave at least. Edâs cordoned it off with a white picket fence and keeps it well. âI guess youâre right. I have a hard time just being content.â Ed explains that he does want the place to succeed, but he wants to do it with his partner.
He didnât want the stress of the thing and the daily drudgery to pull them apart. The whole point of the thing is they could do it together without getting murdered. It was the ultimate retirement plan.
âPff. You didnât even know what retirement was ya twat.â Izzyâs voice, clear as day. Ed looks up quickly. No one is there.

Meanwhile, a pigeon flies through the rain
Over the sea
To land
To a city. New York City. It lands at a humble soup kiosk at what is now probably Doyers Street in southern Manhattan (aka Doyers Street Angle, great dim sum here in the year 2025 btw)
Auntie, serving several customers, spots the note on the birdâs leg before shooing it away. She scoops it up and opens a trap door in the kioskâs floor.
A ladder goes deep down into the ground. Sounds can be heard. Party sounds. Bar sounds. Gambling sounds.
The colonies have been good to Jackie and Zheng, now business partners in the largest underground gambling den and speakeasy in history
The note is passed through the packed club. Wee John Feeney performs a Christmas number as fabulous his alter ego, Bloody Nellie Blaye
The note finds its way to The Swede. He canât read but Auntie wouldnât be hand delivering it if it werenât important
Jackie opens the note at her table. It reads: âToday.â She passes it to Oluwande who puts it in Zhengâs hands at the roulette wheel.
---
Meanwhile, Governor Prince Ricky prepares his Christmas address to a wealthy audience. He reviews his remarks and wants to make more of a point of eradicating piracy globally. âIt really was quite easy. Even Chinaâs âgreatest pirateâ turned out to be no more than an easy mark.
---
Back on the Revenge. Jim plays with the ring around their kerchief, left to them by Izzy. They look at the ring from time to time. Silver and emerald. The emerald seems to grow brighter when the sea is choppy and the clouds set in.
They spot a simple, worn engraving inside the band of the ring: Teddy
No reference to Teddy among Izzyâs spartan belongings. Frenchie was given his scope and dagger, Roach his boots (though they didnât fit), but the prize for Jim was kerchief and ring. Sometimes, oftentimes, theyâd wear just that for Archie.
âWonder if that was his father?â Lucius inspects the ring with Jim. âMaybe he was mateyed,â surmises Black Pete. Oh that poor bastard. The Izzy they knew was a lot of things but would have been a handful as a spouse. âMaybe Teddyâs why he became a handful.â
Roach âItâs Ed. Teddyâs another form of Edward. Or sometimes Tedward.â Fang shakes his head: âCaptain never went by Ted. Heâd rather be called shithead.â Jim catches a look in Fangâs eye: âYou knew Izzy longer than any of us.â Fang nods. He knew Izzy longer than Blackbeard. Jim: âWhoâs Teddy?â Fang: âIâll never say. No oneâs business but Izzyâs.â
Before they can press further, Captain Frenchie stands at the bridge. âMerry Christmas everyone. Welcome to the harbor of New York. Costumes on, weâve some shit to wreck.â The Revenge indeed is closing in on New Yorkâs harbor.
---
Stede has a cake emergency on his hands. Buttercream and hot sun donât mix. At least, not without considerable effort. Applejack fans the wedding cake as Stede tries to remold it into something passing for elegant
Applejack tells Stede heâs doing a good job. Stede is literally sweating it: âThanks Applejack. We really need this. They booked the entire inn out of nowhere. If this event works thereâll be others.â Applejack: âDo you like this? Running an inn?â Stede: âOf course.â But the moment he says it, he realizes he might not. Applejack: âEd seems to love it.â Stede: âReally? What tells you that?â Applejack notes how Ed handles the linens, arranges the fine glassware. Heâs quite adept at it. Stede: âIf inconsistent. Interest isnât Edâs problem.â âMaintaining interest. Thatâs his issue.â Applejack: âAnd whatâs yours?â Stede: âI get myself into jams.â
As Stede and Applejack attempt to right the cake, start Blondieâs Out in the Streets: âOoooohâ
Blackbeard wistfully studies Stede from the bar as he wraps silverware in napkins: âHe donât hang around with the gang no more. He donât do the wild things that he did before.â
Ed thinks about Stedeâs crazy pirate days. Sword fighting, treasure hunting, lighting dudes ablaze. Blondie: âHe used to act bad, used to but he quit it. It makes me so sad. âCause I know that he did it for me. And I can see. His heart, his heart is out in the street.â
Stede thinks he catches Ed glancing at him, but Ed appears to be just wrapping silverware. He watches his fingers work delicately: âHe donât comb his hair like he did before. He donât wear those dirty old black boots no more.â
Stede looks at Edâs lips, pursed in concentration: âBut heâs not the same. Thereâs something about his kisses.â (Flash to Ed and Stede kissing passionately aboard the Revenge⌠⌠then flash to Ed snoring, asleep in the in, while Stede lies awake next to him much like his days with Mary) âI know thereâs something missing inside. Something died. His heart. His heart is out in the streets.â
Ed and Stede make eye contact from across the room. Blondie suddenly stops. Ed: âWhat?â Stede: âWhat?â Ed: âNothing. Just finishing place settings.â Stede: âWell hurry up this cake is fucked.â Ed: âLooks like you and Applejack have it in hand.â
Applejack: âActually, could you get in here for me? Iâm kinda making a hash outta this.â Ed thinks about it, then: âNah mate youâve got it. This silvers not gonna wrap itself.â Applejack says heâll take over silverware duty. Ed comes over to help with the cake.
Stede and Ed manage to steady it, buttercream on their fingers. Stede: âWhoop.â Ed: âThingâs a bleeding liability.â Stede: âLetâs get this thing over with. Maybe no more large functions.â Ed: âAt least none with massive fragile desserts. Icingâs not bad though.â Stede: âMight give you the shits.â Stede: âThe Carribeanâs not known to be kind to cream based thingies.â Ed: âYou did alright tho.â Stede smudges icing on Edâs beard: âHa.â Ed returns fire: âDonât escalate this Bonnet.â Stede: âDonât trifle then.â
Theyâre interrupted by a throat clearing. The groomâs mother, Hypatia, a wealthy, eccentric old crone glares at them. âIf youâve finished your flirtation?â Stede: âOh. Yes maâam. Just making sure this hasnât spoiled.â
Hypatia looks unenthused. This inn wasnât her choice for the function but she intends this to go off without a hitch. Stede notices that he hasnât yet seen the bride or the groom. Hypatia insists theyâll be there. Most of the family has already checked in.
The family and friends have indeed checked in. They are an odd looking bunch. Moneyed, but eccentric moneyed. Some even look a little grizzled. Ed surmises most wealthy people look this way. Stede knows better. But who else is booking a wedding at a small inn in the Caribbean?
Stede says their money was good and they paid in advance for the entire place. So fine. Hypatia insists Ed and Stede be there for the ceremony, which starts in hours. Ed wonders why she wants both of them to be there. Rich people. They want the world he guesses.
Again, Stede is doubtful about their status. Their âuncleâ just lit a match on his own stubble.
---
Governor Prince Ricky rehearses his Christmas speech as a crowd forms outside. Heâs wearing a festive nose, shiny brass. Rickyâs speech is sober, anti-crime, anti-deviance. Heâs become an abolitionist of all manner of social behavior since his attack on the Republic of Pirates
He orders his long suffering valet to fetch him a glass of water before his speech. His throat is scratchy. The valet retrieves a glass from the kitchen. On his way we see that almost all of Rickyâs house staff has been replaced. Roach, Olu, Wee John, even Zheng bide their time disguised as help
Outside the Governorâs mansion, among the crowd, a new small faction arrives. Jim dressed as a priest (their now preferred disguise), Frenchie as an elderly man, Black Pete and Lucius as roast chestnut sellers. Archie as beggar. All are armed and awaiting Rickyâs entrance.
---
Meanwhile at the inn, the guests mingle. Ed scans the room, and mutters to Applejack. âThese rich wankers are exhausting. Canât wait to get this over with.â Applejack nods. Yeah the Inn business must be hard. All of these people with all of these demands. He asks Ed if he misses the sea.
Ed shrugs. Sometimes. His leathers were feeling pretty heavy there for a while. He didnât mind trading them for the crisp white linen suit heâs wearing now. Applejack: âBlackbeard in a linen suit. Whoâd have guessed.â Ed becomes cagey. âBlackbeard? Whereâd you get that?â
Applejack: âCâmon, itâs obvious. You have the hair, the same tattoos, itâs obvious.â Ed: âDunno what youâre on about mate. You flatter me. I never rose above scallawag. Mine was a short career, thatâs how I survived.â Applejack: âMy mistake. Over active imagination I guess.â
Ed excuses himself to find a flustered Stede. The ceremony is about to start. Ed: âWell thatâs good isnât it?â Stede: âI havenât seen a groom. Have you? Or a bride.â Ed: âSâbad luck though, seeing the bride isnât it?â Stede: âI donât even know who the bride and groomâs parents are. Isnât that odd?â
The priest speaks up. A sober grey haired man with a glass eye, heâs massive in size. Almost a giant. Clears his throat: âIf we might get started?â Stede looks around. Started? How? Ed notices everyone looking at them. Every guest. Their eyes are hard.
Priest: âWe are here to witness the union of Stede Bonnet, aka the Gentleman Pirate and his partner in all things, Edward Teach. Aka Black Beard.â Ed (quietly): âFfffuckâ Stede: âWh-what is um happening?â Every guest presents a weapon, a knife or gun. The Priest: âAn admirer sends his regards. And regrets. For missing this special day.â
---
Meanwhile, Governor Prince Ricky finishes his glass of water and readies himself to walk out on stage. He strides out to greet the packed crowd, who cheer their tough on piracy Governor Prince. Jim handles a throwing knife. Frenchie plays with a pistol, at his side.
A long barreled rifle has Governor Prince Ricky in its sights. Spanish Jackie holds it, aiming carefully at Rickyâs forehead.
Ricky welcomes the crowd, and clears his scratchy throat. He takes out cards for his speech, but the first one seems to have been replaced. It simply reads: âFeeling ill?â
Ricky turns white. He looks over to find his valet staring at him from the wings. He flips another to another card: âIt wonât be long now.â Ricky grabs his throat. Heâs choking.
The crew members of the Revenge exchange confused looks. Jackie, to herself: âThe fuck?â Ricky falls to the ground foaming at the mouth and shaking. The crowd panics.
One of the last things Ricky sees as he dies is his valet turning to leave. He flashes on the glass of water he just drank. We see another flash of the Valet poisoning it before handing to to Ricky.
Jim tries to get to the stage. âNo no no it was supposed to be us!â Archie pulls them away. âIt doesnât matter who did it does it? The job is done.â Jim: âIt matters.â But itâs too late. Authorities are surrounding the body. Even a symbolic strike would be suicide.
---
Ed and Stede are surrounded by fifty armed guests. Ed: âWhat the fuck is this?â Priest: âRecompense. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.â An old woman slashes Stede. Her husband fires at Ed and misses. Stede punches the woman in the face. Ed kicks her husband in the chest, and pulls Stede out of the room.
Breathing heavily, blood running down Stedeâs face, a fire poker jammed through the handles of the doors to the communal room. Stede: âWho slashes someone at a wedding?â Ed: âA fucking dead woman. You alright?â Stede: âI mean⌠no. But yeah.â The doors lurch. Theyâre coming down.
âYou guys are the fucking coolest. Gentlebeard.â Stede and Ed turn to find Applejack. Stede: âWhat in the hell is happening?!â Applejack: âAre you or are you not Gentlebeard?â Ed/Stede: âYes fine fuck whatever.â Applejack: âKnew it.â Applejack throws each of them a sword, and draws two pistols.
Applejack fires through the doors at the next big push. Ed: âMate, are these folks with you or what?â Applejack: âTell you later. We probably gotta kill the lot of them.â Stede: âWhat?!â The doors lurch open. Ed, Stede and Applejack do hand to hand combat with some forty remaining guests.
Reprise of you only live twice as Stede, Blackbeard and Applejack lay waste to a room full of hired killers. âYou only live twice or so it seems. One life for yourself and one for your dreams.â Itâs an ugly fight. Stede and Blackbeard end up slashed and punctured. Applejack as well.
âYou drift through the years, and life seems tame. âTil one dream appears and love is its name.â Blackbeard grabs a lantern and smashes it, lighting several of their assailants, and the inn, ablaze. âThis dream is for you, so pay the price. Make one dream come true, you only live twice.â
Ed and Stede run while Applejack covers them. They crash through the window onto the beach. Several assailants follow but Ed and Stede manage to lose them. âAnd love is a stranger, whoâll beckon you on. Donât think of the danger or the stranger is gone.â
Applejack snipes the assailants from the porch with a rifle. Ed and Stede make their way to a nearby cave. They are chewed up, stabbed up, slashed, a bit burnt. But alive. Stede: âWell what in the fucking hell was that?!lâ Ed: âSomeone has it in for us.â
---
Guards swarm Rickyâs still twitching body. The valet is nowhere to be seen. One of the cards reads: The crew of Stede Bonnetâs Revenge did this.
---
Stede and Ed collect themselves and think of who might wish them dead. Ed: âLong list mate.â Stede: âNot for me. But those who wish me dead must really mean it.â Applejack happens upon the cave: âYou guys that was nuts.â He hands over a bloodied envelope. It reads: âStede Bonnetâ
Applejack: âSomeone left this on the front desk.â Stede opens it and reads. His eyebrows raise. A husky voice: âDearest Bonnet. You donât know my. But I know you. Oh do I know you.â
CUT TO:
A fancy writing desk. Military and naval trophies adorn the walls. An elderly hand writes the letter: âYou have taken so very much from me and mine. So now I will take all from you and yours.â We scan the walls and pass a portrait. Captain Nigel Badminton, in better times (aka alive).
We pass a portrait of Admiral Chauncey Badminton. We pass many portraits of the other members of the Badminton family, all played by Rory Kinnear, men, women, and children, old and otherwise.
âWe are a proud family Stede BonnetâŚâ We land on the letter writer. A verrrry elderly Sir Thomas Badminton. He is joined by his wife, Lady Eunice Badminton (both Rory). âAnd we will ride your kind directly into hell. After take everyone you love.â Eunice: âAdvise him weâre taking his lover first.â Sir Thomas: âYes dear.â
Back at the cave, Stede reads: âBy now your crew will be hunted for the murder of a high official.â (In New York City, our crew slinks around trying to avoid detection).
CUT TO
A stained glass window. A familiar voice, itâs Mary Bonnet, arranging flowers in her Barbados home: âWe know where your abandoned family lives. Where your children sleep.â
The cave. Stede looks up at Ed, ashen: âMary. The kids.â Ed: âGuess weâd better get going then.â Stede: âThis isnât your fight. Itâs not your family.â Ed: âYour fight is my fight. Your family is my family.â
Applejack: âYou guys are the fucking best.â Stede and Ed turn to him. Stede: âWho exactly are you?â Ed: âSeriously mate, what the fuck?â Applejack: âI know I know, Iâll tell you on the way.â Applejack: âYou were good to a friend of mine. So Iâm gonna be good to you.â Ed: âWho?â Applejack: âYou buried him on that beach. Letâs get going.â Stede: âAt least tell us your name. It canât be Applejack.â Applejack: âTheodore. Or Ted. No oneâs called me either in ages.â Ed: âThanks Ted.â Applejack: âAll good mate. Iâll be outside.â
As Applejack leaves, Ed and Stede regard each other. Stede: âCan we trust him?â Ed: âDunno. If not weâll knife him quick.â Reprise of Out in the Streets: âHe grew up on the sidewalk Streetlight shinin' above He grew up with no-one to love He grew up on the sidewalk.â
Wide of Stede and Ed walking off with Applejack: âHe grew up running free He grew up and then he met meâ The inn burns, bodies litter the beach. We pan to Izzyâs grave. A seagull lands on it. Blackout
---
We hear waves and gulls. And hollow sounding wind.
A different beach. All looks grey and washed out. A gull lands, walks apace. The gullâs tracks in the wet sand seem to morph into something other than webbed flippers. They eventually become imprints of human feet.
A naked man with long white hair walks the beach. Itâs Nathaniel Buttons. But his eyes are icy blue now, his hair white as snow. He has no use for clothes.
He comes upon a figure lying in the sand. Two feet. Two legs. A torso, dressed in black.
The figure sits up with a start and a gasp. Itâs Izzy Hands.
Buttons: âDunna try tâtalk. Yer in thâ gravy basket olâ friend. Doggie heaven.â Izzy does try to talk, but itâs a useless rasp. Buttons: âShh shh shh. Weâve much to discuss, luv.â
+++
Back where we started, many, many years later. The editor looks at the manuscript, pages scattered on the desk. Thoughtfully: âThis is some wild shit.â
