    Summary

    Shanks has been acting weird ever since he ate that stupid fruit.

    "Are you angry with me?" Luffy asks one day when he notices Shanks staring at him again with that weird look on his face. It's a look that makes a stupid, sticky feeling grow in Luffy's chest that just won't go away.

    The pirate blinks and his eyes drift to the side, a shift that has become as familiar and as annoying as the look. The sticky feeling grows bigger and Luffy clenches his small fist around the pencil in his hand.

    ******************

    Devil Fruits have a mind of their own. Something Shanks finds out the hard way.

    Summary

    In a world of crazy pirates and supernatural powers, soulmates are not an unusual existence. It's also not entirely common, but those who are blessed with a soulmate -whether romantic, platonic or parental- are considered the luckiest in the seas.

    Shanks loses his prized straw hat. Years later he finds it in the head of someone who seems to be his soulmate.

    Summary

    But it was the familiar bead hanging from behind one ear that had him pausing, breath hitching and exhaustion to settle in. If the hair and hat wasn't an indication that this brat was his brother’s son, then that bead would be it.

    He let his eyes slip close briefly as he tilted his head back and prayed to Calypso and Davy Jones for patience before looking at the kid once more, noting that he didn’t seem too concerned and hadn’t been since he stepped into the ring.

    Patience… just like with Shanks…

    "If my brother saw the state of your hair right now, you'd be thrown into a tub and tied down while he mother-henned you." He sighed, very put out, stilling his crew.

    Summary

    Large black eyes blinked up at him, “Can you teach me?”

    Shanks’ heart hammered in his chest, fingers spasming around the comb as he flickered his gaze to his husband and back. “What do you want me to teach you, Anchor?”

    “To braid?” Luffy mumbles

    OR

    I combined Dwarrow Culture in OP and have Braids as a thing of Deeds that Shanks teaches his son.
