Well, of course Kanthia's going to come back after a week's random absense with some more crazy blue and misty kinda stuff. Sorry 'bout that.

Title: Never Mind Eternity
Rating: E10 for Everyone Over the Age of Maybe Like Whatever.
Word Count: 207
Pairing: Nakamashipping, but more like Luffy x Everyone~
Topic: Exhaustion
Notes: Of course, it's not like this for real- but sometimes, you get those tiny little stomach pains that tell you it could be.

“It would seem,” said the One Piece to him, “That you love them very much.”

It took the form of a silver sphere, the most worthless and priceless thing that could ever exist. He doubted that it was restricted to such a shape. It was the One Piece, after all; anything was possible as long as dreams lay awake.

He shivered gently and wondered where anything was. It was misty and cold here, and he imagined the end of his dream to not hurt so much in his chest. He coughed. It was the sick kind. He could hear someone whispering his name.

“You loved them very much,” it repeated. “But I love you more.”

He knelt in front of it, subject to the weaver of threads; defeated and exhausted. Nothing like how he thought he’d be feeling at the end of the entire world when dreams were the truth.

“The ocean is cold, and you are tired.” There was a pause in its horribly perfect voice. “…Come to me.”

Someone, far away, was screaming his name.

“I killed them all for you. Sleep, my child; sleep and dream forever.”

It was the first time Luffy had awoken from a nightmare with such a bloodcurdling, terrified cry.

Holy shit did this make me shudder. Most unique interpretation of the One Piece ever.

Wow, this is eerie. Poor Luffy, a dream like that would freak the fuck out of me.

Seconding what orange_smaug said, and I demand a sequel/prequel/more.

Wai, thank you so much!

Kanthia did write something similar a bit a bout a year ago, called Raftel (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2276618/1/). She's currently working on a rewrite because the old one got a little old, and the newer version is Raftel: Redux (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2884208/1/).

He he, but really- thank you so much.

i can only hope the REAL one piece will be so intriguing.

[kanthia.livejournal.com]

Hopefully~ Except Kanthia hopes Oda-sensei will make it a little nicer to Luffy, he he. Thank you!

Ah, I thought it sounded familiar. Raftel.

*shudders* Freaky. In a good way, of course. :D

So soooo eerie that Luffy's dreaming that, in a sense, finding One Piece will kill his nakama -_- I mean, even if it doesn't do so literally, really makes one wonder... O_O

Creeped me the hell out.

Woah, way to cause the SUPER AWFUL GOSSEFLESH WAVE OF DOOM to go crawling across my skin. @_@ So powerful.

[kotszok.livejournal.com]

The fear made me write typos!!!

*gooseflesh

Most unique interpretation of the One Piece ever.

Oh yeah, I'll second that. O__O

This was freaky. And even though anything that freaks me out is good, I really feel like I need to go read something fluffy. *shudders*

Luffy would rather keep his Nakama than find One Piece and have it take them away. This sent chills up and down my spine. But that's judt the thing, isn't it? When he finds One Piece, it'll all be over. He'll be pirate king.
