Crawling back into your ribcage (crumbling bones instead of flesh) by Darkapik

Summary
It was hard, to explain. The bard was both dead and alive, in their eyes. A corpse and a living body.
Like a newborn fawn, you had to carefully fold uncoordinated limbs to stand, and tell them about the clouds.
This is the first time you cry.
They don't quite get it at first. Not until they bury Him, a pale fragile thing sinking into the dirt. The grief hits them, all at once, and the victorious smiles turn to sorrow.
They don't trust you. You were never really supposed to be anything at all. And now you're here, unfamiliarly moving a familiar face.
Sitting all alone, a stone statue amidst the celebrating crowd, you can't bring yourself to feel anything at all.
Not quite a romantic relationship, nor a brotherly one but a secret, third thing: failed symbiosis.

Summary
The legends say: If you give your name to the Fae, you now belong to them.
Outlook took a Fae child. There is no mistaking the eyes of the younger kid.
'Uh? Who are you ?'
In this land of Old and New, every action has consequences.
'Now that we're brothers, I should introduce myself.'
'Hello Ace, Luffy. My name is Sabo.'
What makes a family? Is it your blood?
It's in this cell that Outlook's child dies and Sabo is born. They'll never understand the wilderness underneath his skin.
Your name? Your memories?
Cleverly, the Commander hot on his trail leads him right into a dead-end.
"Listen, I don't know what I did to offend you but we can talk!" Empty hands raised up, he tries to placate the guy. It seems to anger him further.
"You don't know what you did?" A hand slams against the wall, freezing him in place.
"Sabo."
"How- how do you know my name?"
Or is it the fact that no matter how far you lose yourself, they'll never let you go?
"Hey Ace? I love you." He untangles before Ace tries to grab him. "Tell it to Luffy for me okay?" -
You love too much (do you still have a place for me?) by Darkapik

Summary
“Say, Torao, are you free now?”
The words ring in his ears, echoing a conversation from forever ago, a time where Law was nothing more than razor blades on top of razor blades, cutting answers and sharp tongue. But now, settled in the present instead of fading between memories, Law feels softer, melancholy taking the place of the rage he felt in Dressrosa.
Law thinks of this monster, tall and big, laughing maniacally as he shoots him (shoots Cora san one time, two times and he can’t scream), he thinks of a foot ready to crush him, of Luffy who stopped it, who fought for Law, who screamed his pain for him and he thinks of a smile and an “I love you”. He answers, truthfully because he won't, can’t lie to him after all they went through.
“Not really. But I will be.”
Or, Law spent so much of his life shackled, denying himself love. It is time someone looks at him and tells him he can fly too.

“Are you free now?”
The words are ringing in his ears, echoing a conversation they had, a long time ago, a time where Law was all angles and sharp answers but now Law feels softer, melancholy taking the place of the rage he felt before Dressrosa."No. But I will be."
Or, a story where liberty and love are something Law doesn't let himself have but sometimes, you just can't escape it. (You also can't escape a certain idiot)

Summary
Sabo lives with a hole inside his head. It's a black void, never resting. It terrifies him, how much he could have forgotten. It's okay, he tells the others he's really happy here, having caring and funny friends and he is doing something good, something to help because this world is rotten and he doesn't know why but he knows. It's okay, he says, when someone asks him about the dark circles under his eyes. It's okay, he whispers to himself when he wakes up with a mind full of laughters and forests, a mind full of too clean rooms and disdain everywhere. It's okay, he's happy even if he can't remember.
Sabo is a liar.
