CW: Spoilers for post-Sky Island arcs, self neglect as self harm, self martyrdom (if you've watched the Enies Lobby Arc you know), more in the tags.
Obviously, I don't own or have anything to do with the One Piece IP, this is a retelling that I made purely for my own enjoyment and to play with a new character concept.
After a terrifying brush with a Marine Admiral nearly ends with Nico Robin being frozen solid, the Straw Hats stop at another uninhabited summer island to restock before making their way to Water-7. Though they have met their fair share of castaways and seen more than their fair share of strange objects, no one was expecting to find something that qualified as both. A life-size porcelain doll. What was it doing in the middle of the Grand Line? What happened to the galley attendant whose bag was abadoned along side it? How much could Nami sell it for?
Fair warning, I'm in this for the long haul, I've already got it semi-thought out through to the Sabaody Archipeligo Arc. (I stopped there cuz I'm too nervous about the time skip to keep watching. I'll finish when the fanfic catches up.) Some spoilers for the OC's personal arc, they're gonna be disabled, they're gonna be traumatized, and there's gonna be a lot of internal struggle with that. They'll also be queer, eventually, but it's probably gonna be the least traumatizing of their traits and it's gonna be a while before it really takes effect. Hard to self-reflect when people keep shooting at you.
❝I've been falling every day
since I first met you.❞
stolen glances,
hushed whispers,
teasing breaths,
lingering touches.
