OH DO I EVER. im gonna separate into two sections, one for asl one for general, bc there are so many of both in my bookmarks alone sjgkbdfh. coming back now after finishing the list & damn i need to reread these (<- read & bookmarked them in like. the past week or 2 at most SGFDGB)

anyway enjoy whichever of these u feel like trying!! i mostly just grabbed my favorites, and our taste most certainly varies somewhere. HOWEVER i will say, if u ever come across a op (especially asl) fic i havent seen yet that u think id like feel free to send it my way sjkgbdh i am so deep in the pirate brainrot 😂

ASL-CENTRIC

overcoming an era: this has GOT to be the first one on any list. it starts with sabo and ace running into each other during the alabasta arc, and continues with the canon divergence from there. currently at 33/37 chapters and actively updating once a week

you are my sunshine: pre-canon oneshot, wherein luffy is an affectionate kid and ace copes with the idea of being loved. gave me all kinds of soft feelings, absolutely recommend

twin flames: complete fix-it where ace and sabo called themselves twins as children, leading to a hilarious (and ultimately life-saving) misunderstanding when an impel down guard overhears that but misses the part where they're not blood related

you'll be fine, i'll be fine: oneshot where luffy gets a back tattoo commemorating both his brothers during the timeskip. his crew have a lot of emotions about it (as does sabo)

put your faith in what you most believe in: oneshot, the straw hats call sabo when luffy gets sick, and the brothers have a conversation about freedom and priorities (weeping wailing sobbing btw. thumbsup)

together is much better: modern au oneshot, wherein ace and sabo readjust after two years apart while luffy wreaks havoc in the background (they are both unbearably fond of their menace)

you still have me: ageswap oneshot where luffy is the big brother. marinesford still happens, but this time the post-wano strawhat crew is ready to save their captain's little brother, and maybe also get it through his thick head that he deserves to be loved along the way

thoughts of you and me: oneshot, asl end up with a telepathic bond for a week, and ace is forced to face the fact that his brothers love him

thunder like cannonfire, lightning like being alive: oneshot, asl hanging out and being adorable kids during a summer thunderstorm

laugh about today: oneshot, just tiny asl hanging out and being fucking adorable

home is what you've missed: time travel oneshot, or: if ace had a nickel for every time one of his brothers woke him up by clinging to him and crying only to never explain or mention it again, he'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but what the fuck guys

dearest brother (who you are): 1/6 chapters (last updated 2021 but reads as a complete oneshot). sabo runs into ace, gets punched, gets his memories back, and they run wild through alabasta together- in that order

take a step in mine: oneshot, luffy collapses a little sooner at marinesford and ace prioritizes getting his brother to safety enough that he manages to also get himself safe along the way

there is thunder in our hearts complete, fix-it. ace and luffy both make it out of marinesford, and sabo finds them in the aftermath after recovering his memories

take me to sea (where i belong): first in a series. fifteen year-old sabo's first infiltration mission has him joining whitebeard's crew. he eventually finds a family there, which makes things interesting a few years down the line when a certain sibling also joins up

done in by the flame: reunion oneshot. ace is dead as far as the world (and therefore sabo) know, so sabo takes it rather poorly when he hears about someone using the flame fruit on their way to dressrosa

to know you again: oneshot. ace survives marinesford. sabo seeks him out in the aftermath, but there's not really any easy way to say "hey, sorry your captain slash dad is dead and also that you thought i was dead for ten years because i had amnesia, but i'm here to visit and check up on you now that i have my memories back"

predecessor dream: oneshot. when someone eats a devil fruit, they have a dream where they meet with the previous holder so that knowledge can be passed on. somehow, sabo doesn't really realize what that means for him and ace's fruit until it's happening

second star to the right (and straight on 'till morning): oneshot. luffy is turning twenty-one, older than ace ever got to be. he and usopp talk about it

it burns a hole through everyone: oneshot. luffy and sabo talk about ace, guilt, and love. this one in particular fucked me up so bad emotionally, i fucking love it

hey, get off my boat!: oneshot. an amnesiac sabo is returned to his parents instead of rescued by dragon. at seventeen, he escapes to steal a boat and leave for good- only to find a strangely familiar teen trying to steal the same boat

folding paper: oneshot. luffy is Something Else and lays claim to his favorite people, but his brothers don't mind. it's just nice to be cared about, regardless of what exactly their new little brother is

accidental (accidentally forgotten) younger brother acquisition: 13 chapters, currently on pause. while on a mission sabo runs into a nice kid who needs some help finding his older brother ace. seems easy enough.... except for the part where they're both now calling him their brother and getting weirdly emotional???

for freedom: oneshot. the announcement of fire fist ace's impending execution is enough to trigger sabo's memories, and he sets out with dragon to marinesford

deja vu: oneshot. the announcement of fire fist ace's impending execution is enough to trigger sabo's memories, and he sets out with koala to marinesford

OTHER

a different father: oneshot. buggy the clown finds out that his captain's son is about to be executed, and decides to help the only way he knows how- bullshitting his way into turning a bad situation into a very strange one

a tall tree, with roots like a newborn: oneshot. the aftermath of whole cake island, and healing sanji's wounds- both physical and mental

your love is sunlight: oneshot. luffy loves his crew with all his heart, and after a stranger makes a weird comment he decides to make sure his crew knows just how awesome they are and how much he appreciates them

you know what they say: oneshot + short sequel. the marines have a pr officer in charge of covering up their misdeeds. unfortunately for them, she was isekai'd in years ago and has been biding her time until marinesford to burn the whole organization to the ground- and if she saves & reunites a certain trio of brothers in the process, so much the better

the victory march: oneshot. sanji immediately post whole cake island, coping with the new understanding of deeply and fiercely his crew loves him

sukat sh'lomecha: oneshot. a very sweet usopp fic, wherein usopp tries to figure out what haki is, and sanji just wants to make sure his friends are okay and help them when they aren't

in which higuma doesn't get to get drunk, even though he really, really wants to: oneshot. in the scene where bandits harass the bar and shanks teaches luffy about not first resorting to violence, things go a little differently (read: off the fucking rails) when an older luffy is sent back in time to his younger self's body. spoilers are given, shanks pouts about being ignored by a six(?) year-old, and the bandits are having a rough day and would really like some fucking alcohol, please

sight, taste: oneshot. in the aftermath of the whole cake island arc, charlotte pudding and charlotte katakuri find unexpected solace in each other. it's technically not found family because they are blood related, but the charlotte family is so fucked up it might as well be

kiss me, son of god: first in a series of oneshots based on the live action. luffy, nami, zoro, and sanji are all vaguely qpr and kiss about it. the vibes are nebulous and soft and incredibly tender, possibly the very best kissing the homies fic i've ever read. they're all platonically in love with each other and tbh good for them

dressed up, dressed down: oneshot based on the live action. sanji and zoro get weirdly homoerotic about wound care, and more specifically about not overexerting yourself and reopening a still healing, nearly fatal wound from fighting fucking mihawk, zoro

HI PAT i see you’re also getting (back?) into one piece. me too!!!
