take me with you to the sea
A ONE PIECE FICATHON

→what's this?
Ficathons are for putting the readers and writers of a fandom in touch! Here you can leave a request for fic you want to see, which may then be filled by anyone; similarly, you can write fic for any existing request. It's low pressure, so you can leave prompts even if you don't write a fill, and fills can be of any length (so don't hesitate to fill a prompt even if all you've got in mind is a drabble!).

Absolutely anyone can participate. Anonymous commenting is on, so you don't need a dreamwidth account to join in, though you're more than welcome to make one or use an existing one (this is a good idea if you want to receive an e-mail notification if your prompt is filled). If you're also on tumblr/ao3/ff.net, linking to your primary internet presence is encouraged!

→rules
♥ Any/all pairings, characters & genres are welcome!
♥ One prompt per comment. No limit on comments.
♥ Prompts should generally follow the following format:

(trigger, etc) warning(s), if applicable
character/pairing, prompt

♥ Fills should be posted (either as inline text or linking elsewhere) as a comment response to the prompt, not in new threads.
♥ You can write a fill for a prompt even if it's already been filled by someone else.
♥ Warn for common triggers, be nice & have fun!

the (periodically updated) list of links to filled prompts can be found here!

It’s not that Ace dies, but that he lays down.
He lays down in his brother’s arms.

Lays down in a pool of the blood that’s left him.

Lays down tears he’s held back too long, too long.

Lays down the sorrow that weighs on him, that heavies his heart.
It’s not that Ace dies, but that he leaves.
He leaves the earth for what is beyond.

Leaves the guilt and shame of his lineage. 

Leaves his little brother.

Leaves, and takes a piece of so many hearts.
It’s not that Ace dies, but that he gives up.
He gives up his pain, his aches. 

Gives up the ghosts that haunted him forever.

Gives up the secrets he buried with his father.

Takes one last breath, and gives it up.
