Summary
It’s always the pearls, isn’t it? Such good imagery, for this nightmare. Suspended in midair as a mother and father die and a hero is born.
But there are no heroes.
There is Charlotte, with a knife at her throat.
There is Bruce, standing still, stunned and shaking.
There is Thomas and Martha Wayne, dead on the concrete.
(The man, the one holding the knife to her throat, is shaking. Charlotte isn’t. She’s seen this before. He is shaking, his grip on the knife looser than it should be.
I can get away if I’m fast, Charlotte Wayne thinks, and tense to make a break for it-
The blade burns as it drags across her throat.
It feels like dying.
It feels familiar.)

Summary
In another life, three of Vinsmoke Sora’s four sons would be born silent.
Only the third would come into this world, screaming for comfort in this strange world apart from his mother’s comfort.
Only Sanji would have his parents’ blonde hair.
(In this life, much like the other one, Vinsmoke Niji is born silent.
But in this life, very different from the other one, Niji does not stay silent for long. By the time Niji’s little brother is born, he is screaming loud enough to bring the castle down.
His hair, what little curls of it he has, is a patchy mess of blue and yellow.)

Or, what if Sanji wasn't the only son Sora managed to save?

Summary
"Are you a ghost or something?” He sounds way too excited about that, but that's not surprising. They smile at him. Their cheeks ache. Their eyes burn. They can still feel their skull cracking open, if they focus hard enough.
“Yeah, I guess!” Smiling, smiling, smiling. The curve of their cheeks fills their voice with something false. “Or, wait, maybe I’m closer to a zombie, actually? Since I have a body, and all.”
“Do you poop, then?”
“Not sure? I mean, this dying thing is pretty new. I haven’t tested it out yet.”
He nods, sagely. “It’s a mystery, then. Hey, do you want to join my crew?”
Smiling, smiling, smiling. His eyes are dark as they track the shape of it. They wonder if he can see the way it trembles. “Shouldn’t you introduce yourself first? Kinda rude to just up and proposition a stranger like that.”
They already know what he’s going to say.
They’ve known what he was going to say since they woke up and saw the hat.
(That doesn’t mean that it hurts any less to hear. That doesn’t make it any less beautiful.)
“I’m Monkey D. Luffy, and I’m gonna be King of the Pirates!”

Summary
It’s really never a good time to become abruptly aware of the genre you’re in.
Especially when you’re slated to become a major antagonist in a shounen manga.
Envy is suddenly, terribly, horribly aware of the ink and paper their reality was born from. Of the tropes and the hand of the author and the storytelling concepts of a universe theirs was created to entertain. Of the fact that they have seen passed the fourth wall, and they distinctly did not like what they saw there. Envy knows the future in the shape of animation cells and manga panels and information from a universe they were never meant to be aware of, and they are fairly certain it’s already started to crack their sanity.
(They know how the story ends.
They know how their story ends.
Tears and dust and everything they have ever existed for rendered meaningless. Humiliated and laid bare before beings that should’ve been beneath them, that should’ve lost by all rights, that would’ve lost if the nature of stories didn’t demand victory from the protagonists.
Well, fuck that.)

Or, Envy becomes aware that they're in a manga and decides to tell canon can go fuck itself by becoming a good guy.

Summary
Over the Glowstick’s forehead, in a neat font, letter after letter, a phrase ‘We’d need to do more tests’ started appearing, before erasing itself and conjuring a new one: ‘to know for sure’.
Sasuke blinked. Then he blinked again.
The Guy From Before smiled sadly at Sasuke, and then shot a side-eye to the Glowstick. Neatly, over the maybe-tennis headband on his forehead, new words started forming as well, syncing to his lip movements: ‘I will report to Hokage-sama then’.
‘It is quite unfortunate that this happened to young Uchiha-san’, said the forehead of Glowstick.
(SI!OC wakes up in a body of an 11-year-old Uchiha Sasuke with barely any memories of his own, and plenty of unresolved trauma, PTSD-induced flashbacks-maybe-memories and raging hormones of his new body. Or was it his body all along? No matter if maybe!Sasuke is comatose, or dead, or reincarnated, or having a particularly bad trip one thing is for certain--he can't speak Japanese for shit.)

Summary
…as witnessed, told, and suffered through by the Bravest Warrior of the Sea, Usopp.
Sanji loves Zoro. Zoro loves Sanji. They are also, somehow, obliviously, infuriatingly, in an unrequited love with each other.
Usopp thinks he can do something about it. He really should have had more self-preservation instinct than that.
