Qualcuno brucia nel rogo dei sogni~🪔

Do you remember

when the first snowflake fell?

You caught it in your hand

and watched it fade,

and you said how remarkable

for every one to be so different

and for every one to cease

in the end.

Another thing come to pass,

another thing still to come,

this tiny fire,

this forbidden fruit

and forsaken child

and soon-to-be forgotten tale.

The transience of snow,

so far from home

yet made familiar in your arms.

We do not find time—

we make it,

you'd said,

so now I make it my time

and my turn

Cora gave up everything, even his own life, for Law.

Cora wanted to run away with Law and travel the world.

Cora would probably do anything for Law, tbh.

Cora blushed when Law started calling him 'Cora-san'.

Cora endured an amazing amount of physical pain to protect Law.

Cora's use of [aishiteru] proved his genuine love.

Cora and Law's story shares similar plot beats with tragic romance narratives.

Cora saved Law in every sense of the word.

Law was willing to suffer and die to achieve Cora's dream.

Law realized that Cora's love was unconditional.

Law named his crew the “Heart Pirates” with a Jolly Roger depicting Cora's smile (in the Law novel, he considers them Cora's crew, too).

Law got heart-themed tattoos in Cora's honor. His chest tattoo, which features a flaming heart surrounding the depiction of Cora's smile, feels particularly intimate.

Law described Cora as someone he loved [daisukidatta hito].

Law shows adoration for Cora by using a respectful honorific for him.

Law developed a combat move inspired by Cora.

Law said Cora gave him his “life and heart”.

Law and Cora's love is mutual, pure, and inspirational.

Their love can also be romantic and erotic (sex is not evil).

They would be genuinely good for each other and make each other happy :)

They look amazing together (love the visual contrast).

Their size difference is peak.

Their age difference is hot.

I don't view their age difference as a moral issue. Law is 26 years old, very much an adult.

Cora can smoke as much as he wants since Law can clean his lungs.

Cora’s innate clumsiness is also a great excuse to have Law regularly fix him up.

Cora’s powers can calm Law down, provide rest and comfort (which Law sorely needs).

Their personalities vibe well; they have a classic “black cat x golden retriever” dynamic.

This dynamic also carries naturally into other settings/universes.

REINCARNATION AUS!!!!

Canon-divergent What If scenarios are especially compelling. (How and when does Law get Cora back? What happens after? How do they fall in love?)

The tension when their relationship starts to go from platonic to romantic never fails to entice me.

When Law thinks it’s one-sided or when Cora tries to hold back to protect Law <3

Their first time would be so intense, there's no doubt about it.

Coralaw smut in general. Thank you artists and fic writers.

POWER BOTTOM LAW! But also, TOP LAW!

When Law's tattoos or the scar he left on Cora are the focal point of a scene.

When Cora and Law match each others' freak.

This ship can also be super angsty if you like that (I enjoy it to a degree).

Younger Law with a puppy-love crush on Cora is adorable.

Older teen/young adult Law pursuing a hesitant Cora is delicious ;)

Same age Coralaw? Beautiful. Age swap? Sensational.

Old man Coralaw. They deserve to grow old with each other!!

In Gakuen, they live domestically together (and it’s super cute).

Gakuen is also responsible for the 'housewife Cora' trope, which I love.

Law and Cora also share a pet in Gakuen (Cora refers to Law’s adorable dog, Onigiri, as “his dog”).

Speaking of school AUs. Student/teacher Coralaw :)

They would be an awesome battle couple (see: One Piece Odyssey)

Since Coralaw is a popular ship in Japan, there’s a ton of good fan art to appreciate.

The western fandom, while smaller, is very dedicated, with many talented artists and writers. I’ve met many awesome people here!

Shipping Coralaw has brought me much joy and catharsis.

I especially love ships built on dedication (see my first several reasons).

Also they'd be super protective of each other (yesss).

And probably codependent (makes brain go brrr).

Plus I just have a thing for older man/younger man ships, what can I say?

Idk if people will get this one but it kinda gives classic yaoi nostalgia in the best way.
