My old best friend was someone I made a public fuss about. They always had a special tag on my blogs and I’d tag them in things that reminded me of them. They quietly resented me for it. I think maybe I didn’t know them as well as I thought and pushed an idea of them on them. I think that I annoyed them with too much pestering. When they cut me off I was really blindsided and hurt by it. They just never communicated with me.

I’m scared now of making my friends resent me by building up assumptions about what they’d like or who they are. I’m shy around nicknames and associations and making a public fuss. I’d been choking out the ways I knew how to love because someone I cared for was hurt by it. I’m always flailing wondering what to do and if theres secret resentments from people who say they care about me

With Chime I was and am healing. That was what Chimecore was always; at the root, a public protest to the damage we’d both been dealt over and over. This time I was on a receiving end too, which is new and very healing.

Then I guess with Lee that thing came true again. Despite multiple explicit conversations about how okay we were, I’ll never know what the actual issue was. They refused to talk to me. And that’s fine. If you check on me, I’m sorry if it was something like this I did and was blind to again.

I’m trying again with -core tags, a more public statement of claiming my friends to be mine. Again, a protest. Again, mending fresh damage. If that’s problematic to you, then you are the problem. This time I’m including Fable because I got the explicit okay to. I don’t want the loss of friends make me pull away from the ones I know I have again.

If we talk in private as it is and you’d like for me to have a tag for you, please do reach out and let me know. I don’t want to immediately assume it’s okay

Hi! You seem quite knowledgeable in this, so I though you might be the right person to ask: I'm trying to find some nice heart pirates fics with them as family doing shenanigans/general stuff. Most of the fics I've found in the Heart Pirates tag in ao3 revolve around a ship involving law and the hearts are just background characters who barely do anything, which isn't what I'm looking for. Do you have any recommendations? (I've already read some of your works, but if you want to recommend those that's good too!)

Platonic Heart Pirates Fics Rec List

Wow! huge compliment.

Yeah, I wouldn't classify myself as a Hearts Pirates writer, but I do write them. I think my best characterisations of them are in my multi-chaptered works, but they're super dark, and the Hearts aren't the focus (but boy do they shine when they get the chance!).

You've probably come across my Bepo's one shots and drabble collection. There's a few shippy pieces in there, but they're clearly marked. Most are just the crew, although focus on the main four. This was also done for the Hearts' Pirates Week, so covers all named crew members (up to that point). This one shot is surprisingly popular: Dark like the North Blue Sea (aka The Sea-Hill you Die On), and you might have come across the Straw Hat and Heart Pirates crews intermingling in this fic featuring Bepo and Chopper. I'm also guessing that you probably saw the piece I wrote for the op summer festival zine: Sun Path Ozoni. An earlier version of that is in Bepo's collection! There's also Bepo's Beptober, which features everyone, but I wouldn't really say explores them in depth!

Okay, RECS!

Any of the fics with the Hearts Pirate tag by @op-sheepy Here's a link to their AO3 dash. There are quite a few Heart Pirate drabbles on their tumblr page too.

@itsxandy 's work, stormy weather, is criminally under-read. That's 22,2221 amazing words on Law's dynamic with the crew in the polar tang in close quarters. Not necessarily happy families, but, oof, it's good. Even a very plausible theory put forward for the recruitment of Clione, I think! Or maybe Uni.

Dragon_in_a_Cypress_swamp has 6 amazing Hearts & Trafalgar Law fics too. Really good (I haven't read all, but what I have read just blows me away).

This is not a place of honor by Hyperbolic Reverie (I'm not guaranteeing that all the fics are sweet). And you've probably come across

the devil knows how to row by fab_ia, is set in Law Novel land, but with flashbacks to Law's time with the Donquixote Family. It's a work in progress. But very good. The author is keats on twitter, and I think one of the guest writers for the up coming Hearts zine. Their AO3 actually has a few Hearts' fics I want to pick through.

Dunno if this counts, but the Scrubs AU with Penguin and Shachi as Law's interns, and Bepo as a trusty nurse is both hilarious and poignant. @thegrimshapeofyoursmile

Cal14's recently been uploading some of their tumblr pieces.

@slashseeker (not getting their blog come up) has some platonic stuff on their AO3 page (their slash is pretty good too though!).

And that's about all I know for now. I'm sure you've read / been pointed towards the big collection: Tales from the Heart.

Almost forgot! If you go through @purplehairedwonder 's page, towards the start of beginning to write OP (so second page), there are about 5 fics that I'd classify as Heart centric, or the Hearts seen through Law's eyes. Not necessarily shenanigans though.

It is a ship fic, and it started before a lot of the Heart Pirates were named, but razbliuto's Methyl Nitrate Pirates really builds character and crew (and it's funny). @fablecore

Hope it helps! Sorry to anyone I've forgotten. Thanks for the ask! Let me know how they go.

Remember all, drop a kudos and comment if the fics strike your fancy❤️ Makes a Heart Pirates Heart loving Heart beat heartier.

Thanks @hergan416 and @leviathiane

RULES: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.

I'm not really working on anything too much, and I'm gonna cheat and pop in a short exchange, cos I don't want to tag too many /too few people!

“Cartload of corpses.” “Rotting?” “Yes indeedy.”

From a LawZo I'm intermittently working on. @fablecore , @ninhaoma-ya , @flyiing-giraffe , @gendervapor14 , @sneakend , @dandunn and anyone else who wants to do it! ( @ensignsenna , @crowbarsolo , @rosiinantes , @cyborg-franky ) <--- That's four word sequel. ( @afterdeck-ace @purplehairedwonder )
