Kayura, But Only the Fun Stuff

Merlin, the most powerful sorcerer ever to walk the Earth: *is in danger*

In TMP, instead of Kirk interacting directly with the Spock parallel, we get an entire parallel couple in the guise of Decker and Ilia/V'Ger. But it's the same old story: V'Ger/Ilia can't experience emotion, and Decker is trying to forge a romantic bond with them*. Meanwhile, this exact thing is happening between Kirk/Spock. Kirk is trying to connect to Spock ("Welcome back, Mr. Spock") and Spock is trying to scrub his emotions out of his body with steel wool and Vulcan repression.

But in TMP, we get a happy ending. V'Ger/Ilia is able to learn to process emotions by joining with Decker (in a pretty clear allegory for sex). Spock is able to do the same, and clasps hand with Kirk (you can decide what the allegory is here).

elevator pitch for a time travel au i’ve been stewing on: pirate king luffy is reborn as garp’s second son and eventually raises ace, sabo, and luffy as his own kids. to go along with dragon’s name, i call him monkey d. wyvern :’D 

some additional thoughts:

- future!luffy has no devil fruit but is a haki master. his design is based on that 40-year-old luffy from the sbs, and his past scars are now birthmarks lol

- asl brothers get a present, involved paternal figure & a head start on haki

- ace and sabo adopt the “monkey d.” name to hide them better, and canon!luffy’s link to dragon isn’t as traceable

- dynamic between future!luffy, older brother dragon, and dad garp could be interesting to explore
