I think it'd be hilarious if Doflamingo takes after his mother, to the point that people won't recognise him without his glasses. Rosi looks like their dad when he was younger.

He wears the glasses as intimidation tactic because his mother's face is way too gentle looking.

Following the angst route, he doesn't have the guts to even look at his face in the mirror without his glasses. Because all he sees is his mother's face staring back with a horrified look.

It would cute in a modern world like ours, if the Donquixote Family stayed together and that Homing and Matriarch were very kind rich people. That gave to organizations and places that needed it, from there it would circle back from the companies they own, making it a unless loop of money that they needed and give away. Teaching there kids that it would be better to have what you need, than have all. There Doffy and Rosie would stay together and being brothers.

Years later, Doffy would go onto adopting some kids that he found and needed homes. Of course, Homing and Matriarch would love to have grandkids. Then Rosie would take care of Law and Lami because their parents die, and he was good friends of them.

gen's work in progress list!

here's a little list of every story i have that's either posted but incomplete, a rough draft, or even just a little concept! it is loosely organized by priority. feel free to poke me about any of these. sometimes i need a kick to the pants to get them going. i'll try and keep it updated too!! 👍

also there are spicy themes in here so minors, DNI. thank you

titles listed in large font, italicized, and underlined, are fics that are posted on ao3! titles that are just italicized are confirmed, working titles for a rough draft. titles that are neither italicized nor underlined are still in the conceptual/early development stage. it's likely the ratings, warnings, genres, etc may change as i continue to work on them. more than happy to talk about any of these tho, regardless of their status! 💕

all that glitters

rating: M warnings: graphic depictions of violence category: gen, F/M...? status: purely conceptual genres/cw: canon divergent, donquixotes never left mariejois, angst & feels, moral dilemmas, slavery, humor? but more of a dark humor, not sure about romance/smut yet characters: bell-mere, rosinante, doflamingo, donquixote parents relationships: either none, or bell-mere x rosinante conceptual summary: what if instead of accepting death on cocoyashi, arlong sells bell-mere into slavery for a taste of irony? bell-mere would accept - she can easily escape and get back to her kids while still complying with arlong's demands. meanwhile, the donquixotes granted their youngest son his own manor. doflamingo decides the best kind of housewarming gift for his beloved brother is a pretty young slave who can keep the place tidy and prepare some meals for him. if only that gift was a bit more cooperative. wip notes: YEAH so this idea rotted my brain pretty fast once i thought of it. and i pitched the idea to a few friends, expecting to have it get shot down, but they encouraged it so, i will be writing it at some point. it'll likely be multiple chapters, and there are a lot of story holes, so i'll have to iron those out first.

sublime > perish

rating: M warnings: graphic depictions of violence, major character death category: gen status: rough draft of chapter one finished? chapter two almost finished genres/cw: canon-plausible, backstory, steampunk, angst characters: gladius, oc parents, doflamingo (at the very end) conceptual summary: “Life on this island guarantees a fatality rate of one-hundred percent.

the heart of art

rating: gen warnings: none category: gen status: a few little paragraphs 😔 genres/cw: modern AU, fluff, humor, slice of life, artist cora AU characters: rosinante, law conceptual summary: maybe he had no gross motor control, but if there was one thing rosinante was a master with, it was art. wip notes: i promised @flashily i would write this story ages ago and i have absolutely no excuse as to why it isn't finished yet. i am so sorry. it is up here on my list!! see!! i will get to it, i swear!! 😭😭

rating: T warnings: none! category: M/M, gen status: one chapter posted on ao3, 5300 words genres/cw: modern AU, fluff, humor, slice of life, blind date, awkward date, anxiety, reference to selective mutism characters: rosinante, bell-mère, katakuri relationships: rosinante x katakuri summary: bell-mère sets rosinante up with "a cute baker." a 7'2" punk-goth behemoth is not exactly what rosinante had in mind. wip notes: planning at least one more chapter for this! (but probably more) i'll get around to it after i find the time to watch WCI 👍

nami sewing

rating: gen warnings: none category: gen status: purely conceptual genres/cw: canon compliant, flashbacks, nostalgia, character study, canon-typical violence, blood and injury, angst & feels characters: nami, bell-mere, arlong, strawhats pirates conceptual summary: nami remembers her mother teaching her how to sew. wip notes: sometimes when i look at my hands, i see my grandmother's hands when she would teach me how to sew as a child. i wonder if, even though they weren't related by blood, nami sees her mother's hands in her own when she sews.

rainstorm

rating: E warnings: major character death...? category: F/M, gen status: a few ficlets half-completed genres/cw: angst, romance, canon compliant, smut, humor, tension characters: rosinante, sora (oc), possibly sengoku & tsuru relationships: rosinante x sora conceptual summary: a ficlet collection for sorazon. wip notes: basically a dumping pile of scenes i scrapped or wrote in a sad, sappy stupor.

corazón de oro

rating: gen warnings: none! category: gen status: complete, oneshot, 2,785 words genres/cw: hurt/comfort, grief/mourning, nightmares, canon-compliant characters: rosinante, law summary: “Love, it’s…kind of like a leap of faith.

And you can only hope they’ll catch it when you land.” worth clarifying, not a ship wip notes: adding another chapter soon! i have this idea in mind revolving around this idea of rosi and law discussing religion 👀 (outside of my field of expertise tho, so i may take a bit with this one)

dofladile story

rating: M warnings: none category: M/M status: one and a half chapters of rough draft written, but idk where i'm going with it genres/cw: canon-plausible, humor, angst, maybe light smut? idk characters: doflamingo, crocodile relationships: doflamingo x crocodile conceptual summary: somehow, doflamingo convinced crocodile to take a visit over to dressrosa. his lovely guest is not as lovely as he was anticipating. wip notes: i'll go through phases of working on this and adding like, 1000 or so words at a time, and then i'll take a huge break. they're both very difficult for me to write in a canon-plausible setting. so much thinking.

band au?

rating: ??? warnings: none category: ??? status: purely conceptual genres/cw: modern au, band au, uhhh. sex and drugs i dunno characters: rosinante, bell-mere, smoker, hina, others. probably relationships: ??? conceptual summary: ??? wip notes: SORRY i have nothing for this other than a band (the four listed characters) and a few lyrics in a little notes document on my phone. might turn this into more of an art project than a story. yet to be determined.

01746 sequel

rating: M warnings: graphic depictions of violence category: gen, M/M, F/M status: fragment of the first chapter written, mostly conceptual genres/cw: canon plausible, angst, mental health issues, alcoholism, pirates are evil, especially doflamingo, dark themes, unhealthy relationships characters: doflamingo, donquixote family, crocodile, sora? (oc) viola conceptual summary: the death of the heart left a gap for many. some filled that hole with shovels and dirt. others used lead. wip notes: uh, yeah, pretty much the label on the can. picks up directly where 01746 left off. doflamingo is making his way towards dressrosa, trying to pick up the pieces. idk if sora's going to be in this. if she is, i think she might join baroque works. we'll see. this one's going to require a boatload of planning, so i'll get around to it next century.

make sure you check out my #gensbthb tag too, for details on upcoming projects for the bad things happens bingo event. i write those very randomly so there's no saying when another will pop up.

Why does your brother like mermaids so much?

“You will refer to my great and honorable elder brother as Saint Charlos, peasant...” Shalria said quietly, her voice soft as silk but carrying an indefinite edge of thinly-veiled annoyance at the lack of respect used in reference to her older sibling. It passed as suddenly as it arrived however, the Celestial Dragon frowning thoughtfully as she pondered upon her brother’s curious obsession with the colourful fish-people of Ryuga Kingdom.       “It had to have been... oh, nearly ten years ago, shortly after our beloved mother’s passing. I was seven at the time while my brother had just had his twelfth birthday. He hadn’t enjoyed it for reasons you can easily understand, for our dearest mother’s loss was still raw in our hearts. Nothing could make him smile as he believed mother had gotten lost, that she needed to be found. He didn’t understand that she wasn’t ever coming back...” Shalria continued, a pitying expression crossing her face as she thought back to that day... Poor Charlos. He had never been the quickest thinker in the family despite their great and honorable father’s attempts to help his son understand that heaven eventually reclaimed their people. Every Tenryūbito would hear those hallowed calls when their time on this mortal plane was done, and knowing that mother would be waiting patiently for her family to rejoin her soothed the young woman’s cold heart.       But then Shalria remembered, when that abominable Donquixote Mjosgard had returned from his ill-fated voyage from that dreadful ‘Fishman Island’ after having failed to recaptured his escaped slaves. The very place where that filthy red fish had spawned from, having dared invade the sanctity of their home and free their slaves! The Celestial Dragon hissed at the memory of Mary Geoise still burning in her mind, thousands of slaves lost overnight and lo and behold, that green-haired idiot had actually brought one of them back - not as one of his slaves, but as an ally of their people-!                        Really! Those disgusting fish, becoming allies of dragons! Charlos had not smiled once since their mother’s passing and yet it had been that thing, that pestilent plaice that had dared hold some passing resemblence to the Rosward Matriarch, Rosward Nolaloth - that actually made her brother happy! Queen Otohime, it had been called, flashing a beautiful smile with painted red lips and pearly white fangs at the sullen child while extending it’s condolences for their dear mother’s loss along with the deepest respects from Ryuga Kingdom...       But Shalria saw the scheming creature for what it was, thinking it was actually a person but alas, her dear simple brother fell for it’s lies hook and sinker. How he’d finally smiled again upon hearing those treacherous words, taken by the others as a sign of blessing that negotiations should go forwards. From that moment on, the youngest child knew there was nothing she could have done to prevent relations from taking place, thus unable to prevent the fish from charming Donquixote Mjosgard into thinking he was human. He’d even freed his remaining slaves eventually, becoming just like his nameless cousin whom all Tenryūbito had stricken from the family records but still spoke about in hushed tones, especially when Mjosgard proved himself to be just as mad as his relative after all.

      “When Mjosgard returned from Fishman Island, he brought their fish queen with him and somehow it worked it’s nasty fish magic upon that man and my brother! Since then he’s not stopped wanting one for his very own and becomes quite fixated whenever one is around or spoken of in conversation. So there you have it, why my dear older brother is so besotted by the things. Now, speak of it no more. It is an unpleasant memory to dwell upon any longer and may cause me to say something I’ll regret.”

Need for various 'What if Donquixote Mother took charge to care for her family' AUs growing

#i just want more strong and amazing mother figures to live and not become a tragic backstory okay

Really though, Mother taking charge and becoming the head of the Donquixote Family, meeting w Trebol and the misfits and using just her powerful will to take authority of his gang (he’s interested in her and Doffy’s haki).

Mother grinding the moral of ‘never raise a hand against family’ into everyone, and allowing 'necessary violence’ with resignation. Have her remain the beautiful woman she is, and bloom into an astounding matriarch.

Doffy and Rosi growing up together, their family growing

Traveling into the Grand Line and visiting Alabasta and the Nefertiti family. Reaching Dressrosa and negotiating a peaceful takeover. (She’s got two healthy charming powerful sons born to rule, while the Riku family has two daughters who’d rather live freely.)

      “ I am...tired, Emilia. ”

      Loki’s gaze remained downward, firm on the ground, tracking the patterns that decorated it’s surface. Though their disdain for the country was unending, Dressrosa did have some artistic merit behind it...Yet even so, they felt so empty. As if the serpents were eating them away alongside the passing time. They felt old, trapped in a youthful body that never seemed to age. Not seemed, it was at a standstill. Their serpent’s eyes had even began to fade--not the thin pupils, but the blues that they remembered being so bright. What was an ocean...How it was now a faintly blue steam. 

      As they closed their eyes, they felt the press of a hand on their shoulder, it tightened then relaxed. It was already weakening, she was weakening. She was dying as people did. Were they even a person anymore? A frown formed over their lips as they sunk they let their hands cover their face. Loki groaned and sighed then, leaning back and opening their eyes. Only slightly did they look over towards the taller woman. Something soft, oh how their gaze turned from sharp to pity. They were as they said.

            They were tired.

      “ You’re barely 60, Lori, look at you. Don’t be exhausted of life yet. You are supposed to be more active than me! ”

      Always so full of energy, Emilia looked elderly now. How wrinkles had sprung around her eyes...Yet life still remained bright across her skin, and her eyes--her eyes so bright--remained a glow of red. A warming flame that they would love to stare in for eternity. She, younger than them, yet looking like their elder. How were they supposed to be awake when they have been put stasis? Why could they not rest as she would one day?

      Loki’s eyes gained films of fog as their mind restlessly though onward. And clear was that noticed by the Queen--desert sky, how she was still a queen. She even got a crown, a title. 

      “ What is that look for now! Oh Lori, wake up now, you don’t want those serpents getting ahold of you now, do you? ”

      A shake of his shoulder, then promptly their body. Loki shook their head and blinked back to reality. What a strange thing she could do--bring him in then out of such thoughts. What a queen she was, a matriarch to be remembered--they hoped the future remembered her name than theirs. Donquixote Emilia, what did they do to deserve such a wonderful friend? In their isolation, in their abuse--within their youth and forward to their end...Loki would never forget her name, they would never forget her face, not her eyes, not her voice. 

      “ That is not how it works...It- ”

      The Alabastan began slow, still half asleep in their daydreaming state, before promptly being cut off and dragged up and forward. Emilia had a deadly look in her eye--that mischief that didn’t cease, not now or seemingly ever. Even in her age, it made them worry-

      “ E-Emilia- ”

      “ Sh sh sshh! ”

      Surprise seemed never to leave their face, while Emilia slowly moved back, letting go of their hands. She smiled and sneered, turning around and walking towards the room’s exit. Night had starkly began, and yet it was already ending. As day did to night, and once again the bird chased the snake. 

      “ Come on, aren’t you going to explain it to me? Or am I too old for you to have a little walk with me? ”

      Emilia chuckled, her walking pace slowly if only to look back at them, to taunt them almost. Loki blinked a few times then shook their head, quickly moving forward to follow close behind her. They might be of similar age, yet she was certainly more vulnerable than them...They did not feel like having her fall over in a sudden death curl-

      “ We’ll see the sunrise from here, do you think you will be able to walk that long, Lori? Or shall we need to stop by the sunflowers to sit and watch as you down a gallon of salt? ”

      Loki was taken aback, grunting and shaking their head as they quickly then moved next to her. They shouldn’t worry...She might be growing old, but she was as full of life as she was when they first met her. Still tall...Still taller than them. 

      “ I suppose if your long legs do not give way on our way, I believe the field would better suit the view. ”

      So matter of fact, Emilia appreciated their words for as long and drawn out they had to be. She could never hold that facade of language as they did so naturally! Perhaps they weren’t having a facade when they spoke? She knew Alabasta raised them differently than one in Dressrosa--older and more traditional. Yet they were both young kingdoms, surely it couldn’t differ so much!

      “ See, you aren’t so tired, you can walk next to an old lady like me still~ ”

      Loki almost snickered and rolled their eyes, crossing their arms and shaking their head as they walked alongside her. The stars glistening and it remaining cold for chilled mornings.

      “ Yes, and you should do well to be careful with your steps...You Dressrosans know how to pretty, yet your architecture could surely collapse at the faintest sign of weakness. ”

      Their voice was plain and simple, while having a brief cheer to it--sarcastic maybe--in the insult to such a wide peoples. So many different kinds and a variety of them for that matter...Yet they still were all within the same land, within Dressrosa...

      “ Weren’t you going to explain those serpents to me? Not insult my people! I still am their queen, Lorelei. ”

      A sternness, that queen attitude that got her that position--or perhaps that let her keep it without some sort of assassination succeeding. Not that they didn’t help at all. Of course they had--and perhaps their friend across the sea did as well. They were all helpful to each other in many ways...Though Loki surely got the shortest end of the stick, all of them given titles of King or Queen, while they remained with prince...Hell to it, they were older than both! 

      “ However it is with your people, Queen Emi- ”

      Loki began, before quickly holding their tongue and disappearing, reappearing on the other side of the taller queen. She had well tried to slap their back! 

      “ You do not call me both title and name, Lorelei. ”

      She grunted, looking around confused then down at the snake at her other side now. She looked angry, almost, before letting out a crackly laughter. Loki smiled at that and shook their head. They were drawing closer to that field of flowers...

      “ My apologies, your majesty, yes I may explain, though I see your memory is going with your age? ”

      “ Out with it snakey, I only love you so much. ”

      “ Mhm... Once again then, I explain the curse of my youth, perhaps it will get you to rest after this walk... ”
