Absolutely Fascinating. A sideways retelling of Cinderella that explains how The Shoe didn't fit anyone.

Summary
“I beg your entire pardon?”
“Luffy wants to give you Dressrosa,” Nami says, delicately taking a sip of her own tea, as if what she’d just said wasn’t insane in its entirety. “At least, that’s what he said on the way to Whole Cake Island.”
It starts, as many things do, with Luffy making an innocent observation.
It ends with Law on the phone with the crown princess of Dressrosa.

Summary
Law cuts his gaze to directly across the dining table, to where Nico Robin has deliberately seated herself right in front of him. She’s sipping calmly at her drink (conscientiously prepared by Black-Leg, if the fruit wedges cut into hearts and excessively swirly straw are any indication). Sensing the weight of his gaze, Nico Robin looks up and meets Law’s eye, and smiles; Law merely narrows his eyes for a second, before looking away.
I know you don’t trust me, is what Law’s gaze says.
I know you know that I know that, is what Robin’s smile says in response.
When Law’s proposal for a pirate alliance gets accepted by a beaming Straw-Hat, Law is under no illusions.

Summary
When he steps outside, squinting against the sun just past the horizon, Shanks is already looking up, tilting his hat to shade his eyes. There's a black dot in the paling sky, rapidly growing, and now that Benn's outside he can hear what Shanks meant, too- there's a faint sound that might be shouting and might be laughter.
Benn squints. "That's not a person, is it?"
"Can't be," Shanks says, then pauses. "In the Grand Line, maybe, but that sort of thing doesn't happen in the East Blue."
"Not reassuring, Captain," Benn says dryly.
(Or: Some eleven months into the Red-Hair Pirates' stay on sleepy little nowhere Dawn Island, the sun falls out of the sky.)

Summary
Or: turn back D. clock
After the disaster that is Egghead Island, the one who sits on the Empty Throne decides to gamble with a powerful artifact and turn back time. Two and a half years should be enough to keep this new generation of pirates from turning everything into a mess.
Too bad it was impossible to know in advance that everyone with the Will of D would be dragged along for the ride.
