Eheheheee~! Brains hijacked by Ace bring the good stuff! \o/
So much love for all of this! Ace's exhaustion after Garp's "training", and Makino taking care, and Ace being grateful and Luffy being loud.
The little we see about Ace's relationship with Shanks is interesting, too - clever conniving bastard. It's full of grudging admiration, and maybe a little bit of resentment - a great take on the subject.
Luffy trying to be quiet was incredibly adorable, and then Ace's determination...! The fact that they can be rivals and brothers both, without it changing their bond. The fact that they didn't choose to follow the same dream, but are both living their own dreams to the fullest... Yeah, that's our brothers D. ♥
And of course, Luffy and the glass of milk and Makino - awwwwwww! *g*
I hope we do get a scene with Ace and Shanks, because...well, so many reasons because! Because Shanks shaped Luffy so much, because Shanks wanted to protect Ace when he was chasing Kurohige, because Shanks did his apprenticeship on Ace's Dad's ship!
*Is sooo excited* &hearts!

D'awww, yes! They are so awesome that way.

lol - Shanks you have so much to answer for *shakes head* but we love you anyways!
(actually the milk thing reminded me of FMA, lol, because Edward. Will not. Drink. Milk. XP)
fic has kidnapped my brainz and is thoroughly taking advantage of them (in a mostly good way) ~_^
I love that the Ace-virus has hit you too! And you're writing fic! And it's good!! ^______^
Very nice take on Ace's return from wherever and finding Shanks gone and Luffy filled with new dreams. And hyperactive, while Ace just wants to get some food and rest. And Makino is taking care, and Luffy is being Luffy and Ace falls asleep on his food! ♥
And yeah. Different lives, different dreams, but that doesn't change a thing.
That appearance of just a few chapters WAY back when it tells us so much about who Ace is and what makes him tick! And then some 400 chapters later, we get concentrated angst from Ace, so it turned out to be important that we got to see him in his "normal" mode. :D (and it makes us care all the more, because we know what kind of a person he actually is!)
Still, I would like some kind of childhood flashback. We did get a few panels, but I want MOAR. And that would need to include Ace&Shanks, because - that's INTERESTING! If Shanks really came to Fuusha to see Ace - what happened? (Luffy happened!?)
(Remember what Shanks told Rayleigh right after coming back from East Blue? "I met a kid who said the same things the Captain used to!" And it wasn't Roger's son...)
