   Summary

   Coby was only doing his best to just BE - to keep going in the face of his own personal hell. But then "Fire Fist" Ace - a world-famous criminal - crashes in from practically nowhere, flipping his life upside down and sweeping him along on his quest to avoid the Navy. On...a Navy ship.

   Ace, meanwhile, was conveniently riding this ship to his next destination, doing his best to avoid trashing the career of his sudden new friend in the process. But it turns out, no matter what he did, he ended up accidentally making things worse for the pair. And everyone else involved.

   Can this unlikely duo put their differences aside and make it through this trip? Or shall Ace's shenanigans risk the career prospects Coby clung so desperately to? What of Coby's sense of empathy? He risks terminating his own dreams for the sake of aiding this man who, in a weird twist of fate, saved his life. Is this okay? What even IS okay to do?! There was so much at stake, no matter where he turned...

   Update, 9/13/2025.
   So I live in America.
   Yeah. Shit's rough out here. But I'm hanging in. 👌 Still planning on getting this fic finished. Life's been...a journey, let's just say.
