Summary
Portgas D. Ace died during the war, his heart stopped and he took his last breath in the arms of his little brother. And yet, after a long, extremely realistic and vivid dream in which he met his mother for a day – their first and last together, Ace woke up.
But was it really a dream? The hibiscus flower in his hair and the letter in the pocket of his shorts seemed to say otherwise.
OR
His body is slowly recovering after the war, but Ace's mind must also heal so that he can ever wake up. It does, twenty years in the past.

Summary
“You have no idea who I am!” Ace yelled, shrugging the hand off roughly. It shouldn’t have worked, Roger was clearly just humouring him, but all that mattered was to have it off- “Neither of you knows me! You weren’t there!”
His parents’ faces grew blurry.
“You weren’t there,” he repeated, hanging his head low and wrapping his arms around himself in a pale imitation of his brother’s hugs. “You left me all alone.”
Maybe Luffy had a point, back when he told them loneliness was the worst kind of pain.
Rouge was the first one to move, bringing Ace back into her embrace.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I’m so sorry, darling.”
He let himself be held, but didn’t dare relax. Surely that bastard would try to get in on the hug, surely he would interrupt, surely-
Roger was crying.
Or: On your 15th birthday, you are gifted a visit from your parents, as they were on their last birthday before death.
For most people, it's just a chance to remind themself of how adorable their children were, all those years ago. Maybe to meet again a spouse departed too early.
For Ace, it changes everything.

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.)
