Summary
Buggy's never been gracious. Always too selfish. Always wanting more. It's how he ended up floating to the bottom of the sea in the first place. It's why he will never be able to have what he truly wants.
It's why he keeps sinking further.
OR
Two decades after the world came to a screeching halt, something shifts. Or, rather, someone. And it dredges from the ocean floor the past, in all of it's good and bad and ugly shapes and forms.

Summary
There was a time before the golden strings, though he struggled to clearly recall it.
For all his belief in the strength of a story’s introduction, Usopp had never found words enough to fabricate himself a painless and satisfying beginning. A pirate’s life was full of adventure, but his beginning was lackluster without the golden hue cast from those strings.
A time before he could see the faint gleam of the threads of fate; before he had become consumed by the depth of their promise. Once, he had found them alluring and promising. Once, he had associated that gleam of gold with possibility.
No, Usopp does not willingly acknowledge the time before.

Summary
Shanks travels to the Cross Guild under the pretense of buying a cursed dagger, but the truth is much simpler: he just wants to see if Buggy is okay. Instead, he finds him smiling at Alvida, seemingly fine without him. Shanks tells himself that's enough.
But when they both touch the dagger at the same time, something changes and the next morning, Shanks wakes up in Buggy's body.

Summary
(Formerly uploaded in April of 2024) UPDATES 8-9am
The plan is simple: reconnect with Shanks and break his heart.
The problem is he doesn't fucking want to. He hasn't seen Red since Marineford, and the last thing he said to Red was "I hate you." Not exactly primed for a friendly reunion.Except for the letters. They've been coming in increasing frequency since the two last saw each other. The letters speak of a Red who misses Buggy, who wants him around. They make Buggy feel something--he loathes every single one.
He most certainly does not have them all memorized.
***
Shanks misses Blue. His crew have been trying to get him to shut up about him for years. It got worse after Marineford, until it became a running joke that every mention of Blue's name would earn a berry in the Buggy Jar.So, when Buggy shows up out of the blue, he's ecstatic. He's so happy he can't even question why his ex-best friend would show up after years without contact. When Buggy mentions the letters, though, Shanks is confused. Years of alcohol abuse have left him with memory loss, and he can't quite remember everything he's done.
Without answers, Shanks plays along. He'll do anything to keep his Blue around.

Summary
He staggered to his feet and stumbled forward, his legs wobbling beneath him. He took a few steps, his body swaying back and forth, before collapsing to the ground again. He lay there, panting and sweating, as the world spun around him.
He tried to push himself up, but his arms gave out, and he fell back to the ground. He lies there, staring up at the hole in the ceiling. He could see dark clouds in the sky through the branches of trees. 'Trees on a ship? Are those tangerines on them? What the hell?' The thought passed through Buggy's mind, making him feel utterly exhausted. He felt himself slip away and closed his eyes, hoping that the ship he landed on was a safe one. 'Just a moment. I just need to catch my breath for a moment.' was the last thought as his mind went blank.
