Also semi-side note: Shank’s confession while on his knees after realizing how bad he fucked up- not in the suggestion, it was a slay, but in how he went about it and then essentially dismissed her feelings until she’d spiraled so hard she couldn’t pull back from it? SO GOOD. LOVE when a man can realize his mistakes but also I’m LIVING for the way you had him get there and then the way he vocalized it? Peak. Chefs kiss. 10/10.

I would love to see how their whole story ends (hoping for lots of aftercare and some solid communication and reconciling 🤞🤞) but that 100% should come on your own time. So if you get around to it, I’ll be there, and if not, thank you for the absolute journey that was this fic.

Much love 💙

You actually read it?? It's very much non existent on here so I've only updated it on ao3 but I'm so happy someone has read it 🥺

I tried so hard to keep Shanks as "in character" as I could with his actions but in the end the story needed him to kneel. Also i just love a man on his knees 🤭 His love and the way he expresses it is vastly different from hers and I wanted reader to have that power (which is exactly what he wanted for her, Shanks just didn't imagine in his little head that she would be upset over it all)

He feels guilty for invalidating readers feelings and angered that it was his rival who gave her the emotional clarity he was unable to provide. Tangled with his lust to see the both of them indulge in their desires and the hurt to be left out when he only ever wanted to have both is what burns him inside and beg reader for forgiveness.

Its messy and emotional and I'm so happy you liked it despite how long it is. I never intended it to have four parts but I needed to explain each of their motivations before allowing them to have the nastiest threesome ever lol

Thank you so much for your kind words. I haven't had the time or capacity to write anything in a long time, so this is a snippet of Accro because your comment has made my day 💓✨️
