Summary
“You have no idea who I am!” Ace yelled, shrugging the hand off roughly. It shouldn’t have worked, Roger was clearly just humouring him, but all that mattered was to have it off- “Neither of you knows me! You weren’t there!”
His parents’ faces grew blurry.
“You weren’t there,” he repeated, hanging his head low and wrapping his arms around himself in a pale imitation of his brother’s hugs. “You left me all alone.”
Maybe Luffy had a point, back when he told them loneliness was the worst kind of pain.
Rouge was the first one to move, bringing Ace back into her embrace.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I’m so sorry, darling.”
He let himself be held, but didn’t dare relax. Surely that bastard would try to get in on the hug, surely he would interrupt, surely-
Roger was crying.
Or: On your 15th birthday, you are gifted a visit from your parents, as they were on their last birthday before death.
For most people, it's just a chance to remind themself of how adorable their children were, all those years ago. Maybe to meet again a spouse departed too early.
For Ace, it changes everything.

Summary
"It's Dragon's Claw," Sabo corrected absently, dropping the tiger he was holding next to a pile of wood. Then, he realized a big issue. "What are we supposed to do with those?"
“Eat them, dummy!”
Well that was very unhelpful.
“But they have to be butchered, first, you can’t just-” Sabo turned towards Luffy, just in time to see him hold his tiger up by the tail, attempting to work a sharpened branch into its behind. “...What. Are you doing.”
“We gotta put it on a stick so we can roast it!”
Sabo clasped his gloved hands together, pressing them against his mouth, the feel of leather on his lips grounding him in the face of such a declaration.
Or: still-amnesiac Sabo spends one random January 1st on Dawn Island. it changes very little.

Summary
"Luffy," he said, this time at a normal volume, and spread his arms wide open. Roger barely managed to make out the pair of eyes hiding in the bushes right in front of him. "C'mon, bring it on."
Roger had a certain expectation of what would happen next. He didn't expect a small body to fly out of the bushes like it was shot out of a slingshot, rubbery arms wrapping themselves around Ace's body multiple times.
For his part, Ace seemed to have expected exactly that, his feet braced against the ground firmly enough to keep him stable.
"Hi baby," Ace muttered, his voice so soft, pressing a kiss against Luffy's temple. "I'm sorry it took so long, but I'm here now. And I'm not going anywhere, yeah? I won't leave you alone again."
"...really?" The kid's voice sounded... off. Roger had no idea what it was supposed to sound like, but as it was, it felt like Luffy hadn't spoken in a while.
or: somehow, Ace gets launched not only into an alternative universe, but into its past. he has clear prioritites
