Summary
God Valley Divergence, MANGA SPOILERS.
Shamrock's role within the Freedom Fighters was acting as something of a secretary for his dad, taking notes, keeping track of their schedule, that sort of thing. But because they went up against the government, his dad was always scared that someone would discover the link between them and target Shamrock to try and make his dad give up on his goals. Already, the local armies of the countries they led protests in sometimes shot at them.
Or: What if Dragon managed to save Shamrock at God Valley?

Summary
When a Donquixote pirate driven by blind revenge shows up at Kyros's house, the present Strawhats, Sabo, and Law suddenly find themselves thrown into an expansive desert! And, as Sabo is quick to discover, two years into the past!
“We just need to figure out where we’ve been sent,” Zoro decided. “If that pirate just wanted to hit us in revenge, he might have sent us somewhere random. Same if he just wanted us out of the way to try and re-overthrow the country. If this was an attack with any thought behind it, he would have sent us somewhere where we would be surrounded by enemies.”
“That, or this is a desert island with no life, where we will all starve to death without any need to waste the lives of his own men,” Robin countered.
“So morbid!” Usopp shouted back, though his knees started to shake.

Summary
Glinda Gale landed in Kansas five-years ago with no memory of where she came from, nor how she came to be in a falling hot air balloon in the first place. Thankfully she’s found a safe home on the prairie, helping take care of Em and Henry’s young niece Dorothy in exchange for their kindness and hospitality.
Everything changes however when a sudden tornado rips them out of Kansas, landing the pair in the strange and dangerous world of Oz. A place where a beautiful, green Wicked Witch is waiting for them, and nothing is truly as it seems at all.

Summary
The pirate’s cheek was round and soft and, though Issho sought it with his fingertips, he found no trace of stubble. There was a scar under his eye, thin and well-healed, old. He felt the outline of his eyes: big, very big and round.
“You are very young,” he muttered as if to himself. “Very young indeed to have come so far.”
or: Admiral Fujitora asks, one last time, to see Straw-hat Luffy's face.

The Benefits of Drinking with Strangers by Cherry_Sundae

Summary
It’s a face Law can recognise in his sleep, thing is. Oh, his memory, ever-fallible and ever-cruel, has dulled the details over the years. But when he sees the face again (changed though it may be, paler and hollow-cheeked), in his mind’s eye it snaps once again into perfect clarity. It’s like rereading a passage from a well-loved book – a few sentences in, and you find yourself quoting the rest off by heart.
Or maybe it’s like seeing a ghost.
“Law,” the stranger says, sounding remarkably like he’s also seeing a ghost. Law wonders if he is professionally qualified to diagnose his own psychotic break.

Summary
Ace is Whitebeard’s son in truth, Sabo is Goa’s king in name—and Luffy is the reason they survive the world at all.
One choice rewrites everything: Dawn Island’s embargo, the rise of Queen’s Gambit, the survival of a Celestial Dragon turned king. In the shadows of the Whitebeards and the World Government, two brothers carve empires—one in fire, one in calculation—while the third grows up believing freedom is still possible.
For readers who want dark canon divergence, brutal politics, and the ASL bond written like scripture.
This isn’t the story of their deaths. It’s the story of how far they’ll go to live.

Bookmarker's Notes
Holy shit. Massive canon divergence, Luffy is 5 years younger than Ace+Sabo (ages played with for plot and intrigue), prose uses fun little bite-size metaphors that bring beautiful color to the environment without interrupting the pacing.

Summary
“What was he like when you were younger?” Jinbe asks, looking strangely intent as he stares at Ace. Ace stares back at him for a moment, before leaning his head back against the cell wall and smiling. Memories of him, Luffy, and Sabo running through the forest flash before his eyes, and nostalgia fills him. The months that the three of them spent together are Ace’s most treasured memories.
He grins, shaking his head and chuckling as he says, “Well, I guess if I’m going to talk about him as a kid, I should talk about my twin first.”
(Or: Ace calls Sabo his twin while in Impel Down and consequences happen.)
