Love the idea that in an AU where everything’s the same but Ace is trans (which ever way doesn’t matter) he eventually tells Garp when he’s around 8 and Garp being the chillest man ever is like “ok??? I have a grandson/daughter then. I don’t really care. Have you thought if a new name for yourself?” And when Ace shakes his head no. Garp thinks for a moment before sitting with the boy and telling him about Rouge and one of the few things the woman had told him before she died. What they were going to name ace. Ace if he was a boy. And Ann if she was a girl. And hearing this, Ace in tears takes the name of his preferred gender as a way of still honouring his mother and the name she chose for him. No having to feel guilt of hating the name he was born with even if it was one of the only things his mother had been able to give him. Idk I just think it’s cute
