Summary
“Is it really such a huge shock? You knew he was going to come back for a title eventually. And since he just made it to 4-dan…” she trails off when he makes a face, still stuck at 3-dan due to what his friends have dubbed ‘The Golden Week incident’, when Shuuichi had ended up forfeiting a week’s worth of matches to run off to Innoshima without telling anyone anything.
Not like he could just tell them ‘The go-obsessed ghost that’s been haunting me since I was twelve faded from existence, and it felt like the world was going to end if I didn’t find him.’
“You’ve signed up as well, haven’t you?” she asked him, and when he nods in confirmation she smiles at him. “Maybe you’ll finally get the rematch you’ve been looking for.”

Summary
“Professor Olruggio!” she gasps out. She looks unharmed, but her eyes are wide with fear, her cheeks flushed. Instinctively, he places his hands on her shoulders, steadying her.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s Professor Qifrey, he collapsed!” she gasps out, and Olruggio feels something inside him still into stone.
--
Qifrey isn't sleeping. It's not Olruggio's problem, until it is.

Summary
“What did you pray for?” Shanks asked, poking at the baby fat filled cheek. Luffy swatted at him with a scoff.
He pursed his lips, “For Ace.” He said, casually, like it hadn’t swept the rug from out under Shanks and caused his gait to falter, entirely. He was frozen, in response. Luffy continued for several seconds until he realised the adult at his side was no longer there. He turned, perplexed, watching Shanks with a befuddled expression. Shanks held no rebuttal. “What’s wrong?”
“Why…” he almost didn’t want to ask. “Why Ace?” Luffy’s stare was long and hard. And for the first time, since meeting Luffy on that fateful day, all the way past the chaos of the Grandline, in the waters of the East Blue—Shanks could not place the expression that overtook Luffy’s supple features.
Alternatively, the story where Shanks and Luffy take steps on an arduous path to closure.

Summary
There was a child on the docks.
Shanks knew, of course, that a far removed village like this couldn’t be faulted for not recognizing his jolly roger, but it was still a jolly roger. There wasn’t even anyone with the boy, and that made all of Shanks’ instincts flare up.
He called a halfhearted order to his first mate, watching the child carefully as he looked at the Red Force with stars in his eyes and pearls in his hair.

My take on Nika!Luffy through the perspectives of the lives he's changed. Pre-canon rewrite. Pearl Imagery inspired by The WritingDJ, more details in beginning notes.

Summary
When Shanks is twenty-seven, he meets and leaves the new center of his universe behind in a sleepy little village in East Blue. They meet again seven years later, but he’s never left orbit to begin with.
Or,
Attempted to write a self-indulgent Older Sibling! Luffy AU where every East Blue Strawhat + Chopper is aged up by 5 years, but then I got the feels for Shanks and Luffy reunion.
