Bounty

Portgas D. Ace x F!Reader drabble

Summary: When your bounty sees a significant increase without seemingly any reason, Ace comes to terms with himself that it is all his fault. angsty, typical Ace hating his father behavior

“They’re here!”

Thatch’s voice booms as he bursts into the room. A bright grin is plastered on his face and a few of the other crew members sit up eagerly as the stack of papers are slapped down onto the table.

Marco makes the move to snatch them up as everyone watches in anticipation.

It was that time of month again. When bounty posters were sent out and the Whitebeards eagerly waiting to see if any of their bounties increased. Most of the time, they only saw an increase in the commanders, namely Marco and Ace. They were the first and second division commanders, after all, and were often sent out on their own missions.

You were always at Ace’s side during this, beaming with pride at your boyfriend. There was, of course, some nerves about your love being a wanted man. But you were a pirate with your own bounty anyways.

That thought stops short as a hand claps on your shoulder. “Looky here.” Marco offers out one of the papers towards you. Your own image reflects back at you, a smug expression on your dirty face, and a new amount on the poster that nearly rivals Ace’s bounty.

Now, of course, you were a Whitebeard Pirate. An enemy of the government. A nuisance to the world. A pirate with a rather high bounty for the things that you had done.

But those things that you had done couldn’t justify this.

You jump into chatter with the crew, voicing your shock, and being hyped up by the others. The only silent party in that moment was Ace. He sat close by your side, staring back at your pretty face printed into the paper, nausea wrecking him in that moment. It had been a long time since you had went out for a mission. A long time since you wrecked havoc. A long time since you had done anything to justify such an increase.

And that fact made him want to jump into the sea. Because the only thing that you had done to warrant this was be seen with him. To allow others to witness you holding his hand. Kissing him. Sharing those moments together that you often did on the ship, so why would it matter when you were docked? But his past haunted him, looming over him and ready to strike when it saw fit.

He was the son of a monster. A bloodline to squash. And you? You could be the key to continuing his bloodline. To carry on the pest of the Fire Fists. To bring more descendants of Gol D Roger into the world.

The world government couldn’t have that.

Ace places a hand on your leg and squeezes the flesh, eyes fluttering shut, trying desperately to ground himself. To not blames himself for this, just as he did everything else. Just as he knew you would tell him not to do.

And yet, it wasn’t enough. He abruptly stands from the table as eyes turn in confusion and stalks out of the room. Met with the salty air, he attempts to allow the familiarity to wash over him. To calm himself.

None of it is working, however, and he feels his temperature rising. He wanted to burst into flames. To send a flaming fist right into what ever government official made he decision to raise the stakes on your life. To burn it all.

“Ace, what’s going-“ A hand places on his bicep, an attempt to comfort, but you immediately jerk back as if your fingers were seared. They hadn’t been but you were certain it would happen if the man spiraled any further.

“Sorry, i’m sorry.” He takes a deep breath before reaching out to you, delicately taking your hand in his to kiss the tips of your fingers. “I’m okay, it’s just, sorry.” Ace quickly shakes his head as he feels tears pricking at his eyes.

His fault.

A monster.

You’re ever observant of the shift in his eyes. It wasn’t unfamiliar to you. “You’re clearly not okay, my love, what’s going on?” You coax the man closer to you, placing your hands over his chest to feel his heart hammering in its place.

His eyes are cast to the ground in shame.

Hands slide up to cup his cheeks, “Come on, get out of that head of yours.”

Ace sighs lowly and allows himself to relax into your embrace. He still feels hot, but not nearly as intense as the inferno threatened to be. “Your bounty.” Ace simply states, continuing before you could roll your eyes and dismiss it. “Feel like it’s my fault it went up.”

“Why on earth would that be your fault?” You laugh.

Ace sighs again, grabbing your wrists to guide your hands from his face. He didn’t want space from you but he feared what would happen if you continued to be close to him. If the world deemed you too to be a monster. “You know about my past. About him.” The way he speaks the word with venom allows you to easily catch up. “The world government doesn’t even want me alive, if we ever have kids,” He shakes his head. “It would be a man hunt until they were found.”

A wave of emotions hits you at once, battling against each other. On one hand, Ace had thought about having children with you. That thought made your heart soar. On the other hand… those children would be enemies of the government before they were even born.

“Maybe we-“ His voice breaks and he takes a step further away from you. “Maybe we shouldn’t be together anymore. I care about you too much to see you be taken out over-“

“Shut up.” Your voice is stern, but it lacks any anger. Ace’s mouth gapes open as he stares at you almost dumbfounded. “That’s not even in the realm of possibilities, Ace, I’m in love with you and there’s no way I’m turning my back on you because of the world government.” You scoff at the thought. “Those guys have wanted me dead for a while now but I’m still here. I’m still standing.”

“But this is different.” He sighs exasperatedly. “You’re worth a lot more now, your bounty is almost as high as mine is! That means the big name bounty hunters are gonna be after you-“

“And i’ll be able to handle myself.” You cross your arms defiantly.

“I know,” He sighs, pinching the bridge of his freckled nose. “But one wrong move-“

“It’s always been like that, Ace.” You sigh loudly. “I was wanted well before I met you, so you can stop blaming yourself.” Stepping closer to him, closing the gap that he opened, you reach out to him again. “The world government has never controlled our lives before.” You hold his cheeks and meet his watery gaze. “They’re not gonna start now.”

“It’s not like that-“

“Do you love me?” You prompt.

Ace rolls his eyes at the more than obvious answer. “Of course I do, but that’s the problem-“

“Well, I’m in love with you.” You declare. “And when we told each other that, we agreed to face the world together.” His eyes close for a moment and he takes a deep breath. “I don’t want to face this world with anyone else.”

His eyes meet yours again and you can already tell his resolve has dropped. Left entirely defenseless. “Even if it could get you killed?”

“Even then.”

With a deep sigh, Ace steps forwards to embrace you fully. His forehead rests against your own as you run your hand over his tattooed back, a shiver running down his spine and making you smile. Fingers guide your chin to tilt up until your lips meet his, soft and warm. A gentle kiss filled with all the warmth and emotion he held for you.

When he finally pulls away, he is smiling.

Taking this as a sign that your playful Ace was back, a mischievous smile pulls to your lips. “So,” You begin, leaning against his well built chest. “Wanna circle back around to you wanting me to have your babies? That whole thing?”

Ace sighs dejectedly as he rolls his eyes at you, “Shut up.”

love how samaritan’s highly personalised, extremely detailed, 7000 or so simulations could still never have predicted the actual outcome of shaw escaping and coming across root again. like "root threatens to kill herself if shaw dies and they both stand around pointing guns at their own heads" was not on the cards. no samaritan simulation could ever match their freak!!

as much as I am desparate to, I think if I ever saw David Tennant in real life I would actually just pass away because there would be nothing left for me to accomplish anymore.

I do think it's interesting how when we're talking about Jewish indigneity, we're completely excluding the fact that Palestinians have always been indigenous to the region and share common ancestry with Jewish people, especially Sephardic Jews. After all, many Christian and Jewish people did convert to either Christianity or Islam, and we have plenty of historical records attesting to the fact that all of these communities have intermingled with each other. In fact, Palestinian Christians are one of the oldest Christian communities, dating back to the first century, whereas the Palestinian Samaritans had a consistent presence in Palestine since 500 B.C.
