    Summary

    “Fuck,” he says emphatically. “It's Koby?”

    “How do you know Koby?” the blond boy demands. Shanks ignores him, just like he ignores Garp and Bogard straightening in alarm at the same realization. He steps past them both, crossing just the few paces to crouch next to the small bed.

    “Hello again,” he murmurs. “Do you remember me?”

    Koby doesn't answer. Koby doesn't even blink.


    One year after Marineford, Vice Admiral Garp calls Red Haired Shanks to ask for a favor.

    Summary

    Nightwing has to bite back a laugh. “Gotham is a no-fly zone for more than just the JL, Supes. But, from what Blud knows, chances are that whatever you’ve heard is probably true.”

    Superman pales, which is anything but unexpected. Pretty much all of Gotham tends to be horrifying to Outsiders, as Nightwing is well aware. The question here is which rumors Superman decided were concerning enough to actually look into, the answer to which could be literally anything from the pollution levels to the regularity of the city-wide Fear Gas attacks.

    Or something entirely outside of the usual spectrum of Things That Outsiders Need To Stop Freaking Out About, Nightwing discovers when Superman blurts, “But the Waynes aren’t actually possessed, right?”

    …Ah.

    Well, crap.

     

    Or, in Gotham, it’s been common knowledge since the very beginning that the Waynes are unwitting hosts to the parasitic Bats, who protect Gotham and its people from threats both internal and external in turn. There’s nothing anyone can do about it, even if they wanted to.

    (That’s… not actually what’s happening, but nobody needs to know that. The Batfam is too committed to the bit to pull out now.)

    Summary

    This is so much bigger than him, Koby realizes, like a bucket of ice water pouring over him. Five minutes ago he saw Luffy get unceremoniously executed by Blackbeard. He didn’t even get a chance to help. And now he’s years back in time, with a laundry list of very vague instructions about what not to do if he wants to prevent that, given to him by a ninja version of himself that kissed him on the mouth.

    Summary

    "Ah!" Straw Hat exclaims, bounding closer and clocking Marines on the way, his attention more on Law than the battle around them. "I got it! You remind me of my sister!"

    "Your sister," Law repeats, more than a little baffled and wondering what level of blunt force might be necessary to induce trauma in a rubber skull.

    "Yeah, Lami!" Straw Hat laughs, and Law freezes. "She's a seal!"

    A name, three words, and Law's world shatters.

    In which the Trafalgar family houses more than one secret, Law's list of tragedies starts a little earlier, and Lami gets very, very lost, but still manages to find her way home in the end.
