Summary
Luffy is as much an orphan as Ace is—as Sabo pretends to be—and he was so desperate not to be alone that he was willing to die for their reluctant, backhanded friendship. He would run after them until his arms and legs gave out, and then at that point he would probably crawl, just so they don’t leave him behind.
Stubborn, selfish, stupid Luffy. The unwanted little kid that Ace and Sabo have begun to shape all their days around.
Something in Sabo’s chest hurts to know that Luffy is afraid. He tips his head and adjusts his arms so that the smaller boy is tucked more securely under his chin. Stars pinwheel slowly across the sky, winter constellations that Sabo will teach his brothers how to find once they manage to get their hands on a halfway decent telescope. There are clouds forming to the east, low and gray, that promise snow.
“Sing,” Luffy mumbles petulantly.
“You’re such a brat,” Sabo complains. But he doesn’t make Luffy go away, and it’s only another moment before he starts humming.

Summary
Sunshine, Ace calls out once, not knowing he was going to say it until he did. Sabo blinked, taken by surprise. He turned to look at his twin, curiosity clear on his face along with a complete lack of confusion that was telling.
They both knew who he meant. Luffy knew it, too, and came running the way he always came running when one of his brothers called his name. There were leaves in his hair and scraggly flowering weeds crammed in his pockets and—always—a big smile on his face, bright and beaming.

Summary
"When I was little, all the other kids got treats and candies on my birthday too, so I didn't know it was special for me. Ace always said it was, but I thought that was just 'cause he was my big brother. I thought that since it was already a holiday, it didn't count!"

He didn't tell them; they had to figure it out on their own.
(Takes place directly after the events of Movie 6, "Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island.") -

Summary
Brooke was just the crew's musician; the only thing he could do was remain at Luffy's side and sing to him, the song of pirates- a song of bravery and farewell and hope, long after hope was lost. For Luffy, who had given him a home and a family and the sun itself, Brooke wished he could do more.

Summary
"You're not real," their baby brother insists adamantly for the fifth time, and Ace and Sabo share a look of actual distress; because Luffy is staring at them blankly, as if they should know very well they don't exist.

Summary
Break all the bones you want, he wishes he could say, if he could speak without giving into the urge to scream. He hopes his expression is venomous enough to get the point across anyway, to this stupid man who thinks any Straw Hat Pirate would betray their infamous captain.

Summary
"I'm his doctor!" Chopper all but shrieked, closer to hysterical than he'd ever been- because in four days time those people could really have hurt Luffy, and he was so tired of being treated like a kid. "I'm his doctor, and I'm going to find him right now!"

Summary
And then, so quickly no one saw it happen, the man is reeling back with a broken nose, the creature is swept up and away, and Luffy- cradling it safely against his chest- looks as surprised as the rest of them.
(In which there are absolutely no miraculous returns, and old wounds ache before a rain.)

"Some countries take a day to celebrate all the things they're grateful for, and they call it Thanksgiving Day."
(In which Robin introduces a new holiday to an ecstatic Luffy, who has about eight things he's grateful for.)

Summary
When they’re on the forecastle, with the helm just behind them and the figurehead casting them further in shadow, Usopp calls, “Raise the sails!”
Luffy’s gasp next to his ear is the best part of his entire day.
The sails unfold in a great rolling crash of canvas. Even the striped gaff swings out, catching the wind. The whole sloop gives a powerful lurch as if she’s eager to sprint out of port on the back of whatever gale blows along next.
And painted on the foresail, bold and bright and proud, is a grinning Jolly Roger in a yellow straw hat.
“That’s mine,” Luffy whispers, hushed and awed.
“Told you so,” Usopp says smugly.

Summary
“I don’t buy it,” Pete retorts. “Someone like you? Some cook from East Blue? You’re probably worth a couple hundred thousand bellies at best, maybe a million, if your captain’s somebody.”
Sanji tilts his head back so that it rests against the dirty wall behind him. He’s still upright, somehow, through sheer stubbornness or spite. He doesn’t look like someone who only has tonight left to live.
In fact, he looks sharp. There’s no better word for it. His expression is still as peaceable as it has been since he arrived, but watching him is like watching a knife slide out of its sheath. He is, abruptly, dangerous. A tool made for cutting.
“If you knew where I’ve been, you would be terrified of me,” he says.

Summary
Sanji didn't notice right away when his lips and fingertips went numb. It was probably a good five minutes before he realized anything was wrong, and by then it was hard to breathe.

Summary
Some of the food has to be thrown out, and it aches in the pit of Sanji's chest to watch sodden vegetables and discolored fruits disappear into the bottom of the waste can. One more tiny thing he cost his family, not that they would care. Nami budgets, but she tends to give Sanji free reign, and for every hardened loaf of bread and moldy tomato he throws away, it feels more and more like failure or taking advantage or ingratitude.
His job, his only job, is to feed them every day. How many days does he have to make up for? How many meals? How many of his nakama went hungry, aside from his captain, who staked life and limb and the very real risk of starvation on Sanji’s faith?

Summary
This crew is so much his family it makes him want to do something stupid. It makes him want to carve it into the world, somehow, that his name belongs next to theirs when they go down in infamy. He wants it known, that he’s theirs, and that incredibly – somehow, despite everything – they’re still his.

When Dragon announces that he is heading to Loguetown, Sabo finds himself following along for reasons even he cannot explain. Pre-timeskip.

Summary
Because the universe hates him, out of all the weird Devil Fruits out there, Sanji gets hit by one that’s absolutely laughable. Of course. A Devil Fruit power that doesn’t allow you to smile? What kind of shitty, ridiculous power is that?
It’s funny, until it isn’t.

Summary
In the original timeline, Shanks took Higuma's mistreatment calmly and with dignity, shaping Luffy's essential character for the rest of his life. In this timeline...
"Huh!" said the kid. He tugged at his cheeks. "Guess I'm in the past, then!" His expression cleared, because apparently that made sense to him, and he grinned. "Shanks! Hey, Shanks, you never told me how cool you are!"
