Also- if you've seen this before- that's because my dumbass accidentally deleted my old account so I had to make a new one😭👍

Sad AceSabo thoughts

this was based on a convo i remember having with one of my friends- idk how this convo started, or if it was based on something as i had found it buried in my docs on one of the fics i'm working on. but just-

Ace a year after Sabo's 'death'. After the pain of Sabo's death refuses to leave him, asks Makino why it hurts him so much. And Makino asks Ace how he viewed Sabo, who Sabo was to him, and after Ace explained that Sabo was pretty much everything to him before Luffy, and hell even after Luffy, Makino told him he loved him. Which years later Ace starts realizing wasn't the same love he thought she was talking about, the same love he had for Luffy and her, and instead it was different, so adult Ace had to come to terms that he met the love of his life when he was a child, but lost him before he realized. Sabo, on the other hand, would realize the days after he remembers, the days he's mourning and thinks back on all he was forced to forget, and realizes that he too met the love of his life, and just lost him before he realized as well. All because they were too young to realize the differences in love. And both had to come to terms that the other was well and truly gone, and no matter what they weren't coming back… and hell, maybe Sabo getting Aces fruit felt a little like getting Ace back.

Sad AcBo thoughts my friends, a fic like this would probably have me crying like a baby, ngl

What if Sabo remembered earlier and went to Marinefored to save Ace?...

What if he was too late?

Me and my friend had come up with an AceSabo Peaky Blinders au loosely based on Tommy and Grace's love story- it's in the works rn but no chapters are out yet- and I was having a hard time trying to figure out what Ace would look like as a Peaky Blinder, so I drew him

It's rough and not colored- the colored one will get posted when I finish the fic and start posting that- so sorry about that😅 I just needed to visualize him so I thought I'd share.

Also- he has freckles- I just realized they were hard to see after, so sorry about that😭😅

I love how in just about any Ace and Sabo reunion fic/fanart/fancomic that I've seen of those two reuniting that Ace will 100% punch Sabo no hesitation. It's pretty much Canon at this point. Like- all of Ace's suppressed childhood gremlin anger WILL be unleashed the moment he lays eyes on the blonde bastard who showed him how to love and care and be loved and cared for.

i've never seen anything more accurate in my life- i'll be sitting there writing, trying to cover up every plot-hole, smooth out every detail i can find, make everything make sense to my picky brain all while trying to fight the demons of the world building past what i can control, thinking that 'does this make sense to the reader? oh no- this will be so confusing to them-' meanwhile said lovely reader- chilling while reading it all the way through accepting every flaw they see and not giving a fuck if it makes sense because 'my favorite's are once again going through shit and i now must read all of it'

...sometimes i forget what's it's like to be a reader when writing... XD

thank you for listening to my mad ramble XD <3
