Ace thought he could never be loved. Or that he was undeserving of love. Not knowing he loved so so much.
He never realized how bright he stood compared to everyone.
He never realized how everyone would just want to be near him because he was warmth.
He never realized how he was always surrounded with a light that pulled all of them closer.
He never realized how his crew viewed him as the sun.
He never realized that behind his back they all called him firefly.
He never realized how he made them realize how there was still good in the world and he happens to be in the middle of it.
He never realized how the crew was before he joined now it was filled with warmth.
He never realized how they would stare at him in awe. How pretty he was.
He never realized how happy he made them just by existing.
He never realized how he had given hope to so many.
He never realized how one was deeply in love with him.
They never realized how dark, lonely and cold the world is after the sun is gone. Making them all wish they had appreciated more. Now they live on with regrets.
Shichibukai Ace AU
Doflamingo to Ace : Excuse me? Who made you the boss of the group?
Kuma : You did.
Crocodile : It was you.
Mihawk : You said "Ace should be boss."
Hancock : And then you said "let's vote" and it was unanimous.
Jinbe : And then you made him this little plaque that said "Boss of Us" And you put little sparkles on it.
Doflamingo : Valid points, all.
Ace with his "Boss of Us" plaque : "Join the shichibukai it will be good," they were saying.
I enjoyed the Prime!Sonamy moments so much that I made a compilation.
Watch to your hearts content! đź©·đź’™
One thing that I keep forgetting, that makes me absolutely feral every time I remember it, is who Merlin is in Arthur's POV.
We, as an audience, know how capable, powerful and trustworthy Merlin is. It's so obvious to us and we know how much he deservers Arthur's trust and respect.
We go "Ha ha, Arthur is so oblivious" or "I can't believe Arthur said that to Merlin".
But that's the thing. We keep forgetting how unaware Arthur is of who Merlin actually is.
To Arthur, Merlin is some peasants boy who came out of nowhere. Somebody who acted way above his station. Someone who has no notable skill.
And he STILL trusts Merlin more than anyone else.
He doesn't know he's a powerful sorcerer like we do. To him, he's just some guy. A servant.
And we know that Arthur isn't someone who judges by station, but the sheer amount of trust he places in Merlin is absolutely beautiful.
Merlin knew about the destiny. Arthur didn't. And he was still so helplessly devoted to Merlin.

We usually get reincarnation fics from Arthur and Merlin’s perspective but I think it would be funny to see it from everyone else’s perspective.Â
As soon as Arthur wakes up and rises from the lake it triggers everyone’s memories of the past lives, Gwen, Morgana, Lance, Gwaine, Leon, Percival, Mordred, Elyan. Cue guilty Morgana and redemption arc. Morgana devises a plan to bring them all together and while they are understandably unhappy to see her, she informs them that the reason they must have regained their memories is that Arthur must have risen from Lake Avalon.
Cue panic when they realize that an Arthur from 1500 years in the past is wondering around in the modern day world looking for Camelot.Â
Gwen: He must be so scared. He’s out there looking for a Camelot that no longer exists!
Gwaine: If he’s not in a mental hospital. Going around saying I’m King Arthur of Camelot with steel armor and a sword doesn’t scream sane.
Leon: I hope he hasn’t attacked anyone. God, what if he’s in jail.
Elyan: He’ll have food in a mental hospital or jail at least.
Gwen: He has no money, no food, no home, no family! We have to find him!
They go on a search while running into multiple shenanigans and learning how much they relied on Merlin while they are all worried sick for Arthur.
Meanwhile, because Merlin had hundreds of years to prepare for this and is on top of everything
*At Merlin’s farmhouse in Wales*Â
Arthur: *lying on his and Merlin bed in a robe, his hair clipped back, face mask on, legs kicking back and forth in the air, eating popcorn while watching period dramas*

maybe it's a good thing for canon that regulus died first because he would have never believed that Sirius could betray James
arthur skipping “are you okay” and going straight to asking “what is it?” already knowing something’s up with merlin is doing something to me
