For the Want of a Nail - A Kingdom Was Lost
A collection of nakamaship, headcanons, what-ifs, au, reincarnation, time travel, fix-its and a couple self insert ocs of One Piece fics that have tugged my heartstrings on ao3.
Comments are sometimes made in bookmark notes with striking quotations that simply guts my emotional soul.“I knew the power of a single wish, after all. Invisible and inevitable, like a butterfly that beats its wings in one corner of the globe and with that single action changes the weather halfway across the world.”
+ corazon lives, ace lives, marineford fix-it, shanks adopt asl

Summary
Gol D. Roger survived the illness that should have killed him, once again triumphing where he had no odds of winning. After Roger achieved his goal, he returned to the love of his life to live out his life with only calm days ahead. His son was born and doted on the boy, soon enough gaining two more sons in the coming years. He approved of their dreams and would not get in the way of them.
But he drew the line at executions.
The Marines better be prepared, because the Pirate King is coming, and he won't rest until his son was safe.

There’s a smile on his face, just as bright as someone come before, but a scar slopes beneath his eye and a straw hat rests upon his head and he -
Laughs, with the brightness of a thousand suns as he plummets from the sky and into a beautiful sea that he can't swim in.
"DAMN IT LUFFY!"

Summary
Luffy saves Ace, but not exactly in the most conventional way, but it's not a big issue to the Whitebeard Pirates — they're just happy that Ace is safe. (Okay, maybe Ace is a little peeved that Luffy is somehow friends with assassins.) Nonetheless, the world continues revolving, except this time, the Whitebeards fight for flower crowns, (un)officially adopt Luffy much to Ace's dismay, and laugh at his escapades.

Bookmarker's Notes
Shamrock slowly closed his eyes.
And in that moment, his decision had already been made.
He would become the villain of the story.
The sorcerer who locked away his treasure in a tower so that no one could steal it.
The dragon that burned the world to ash.
Whatever he needed to become.
For Luffy's sake, he could do it.
There was only one thing in this world that mattered to him.
The sun held within his arms.
For once a person had felt the warmth of the sun, they could never return to a world without it.

Summary
When the first of these strange people fell from the sky and made a dent in the Moby, Marco was very concerned. He figured they were either a threat against Pops or, more likely, dead from impact.
After the nth time a random stowaway appears, this one is a goddamn skeleton, Marco just sighs and points them in the direction of their new second division commander.
Because for some ungodly reason all they seem to care about is Whitebeard's newest son, Ace.
(Ace is very confused and has never met these people in his life.)
Or: The Strawhats will always only bow to one king, and Whitebeard is not that man. Unfortunately for everyone, that man is nowhere to be found.

This was, without a doubt, Luffy’s fault and Law was going to make it everyone’s problem.
