CHAOS THREAD. DRABBLE TIME!!!

[silverwolfcc]

Here's how it works:

I give a prompt, people reply with drabbles filling the prompt and then prompt someone new at the end.

I'll probably write One Piece, but you can ask for other fandoms/things just realize they might be harder to fill. If you ask for RP-centric ones that I know I'll try to fill those easier than fandom ;) THIS CAN BE SHOWN TO ANYONE AND LINKED ALL OVER AND HAVE OTHERS JOIN IN.

SO. Keep that in mind and if you're gonna write anything over PG-13, mark it up top \o/ That way I know what to read j/k or am I


First Prompt:
Cold rain

Ace was born knowing how to survive. He remembers he's been told that shortly after his birth he'd kept quiet at strange footsteps, went still at the sight of Marines passing by, except for the one Marine who held him in in huge hands and laughed and slept and woke up again to watch him with wrinkles between his eyebrows. Someone, Ace couldn't remember who, had told him it was as if his mother had instilled that fear in him, that he had somehow absorbed it through her belly when he was tucked up--kept safe inside for nine months. Ten months. Twelve.

But Ace knew better. It hadn't been fear. It had been courage. It had been knowledge of how to carve his way though a world that didn't even think he should exist. To trust no one. To believe no one. Not even the little airheaded kid that had run in breathless circles around Garp, chirping like a cricket, full of grins and frowns and completely transparent, his whole stupid heart scrawled all over his face.

"I don't know, from what you say he sounds pretty harmless," Sabo said after they'd finished counting their daily haul.

"Doesn't mean I can't hate him." And who cared about the little brat anyway. Ace would forge his own way in the world. He could survive anything because he had the strength. Leave big grins and open hearts to kids who were too little to know any better. Ace was already a man.
