never wake up

"The Drought of the Healing Sleep.
This is just at vial of it, but take it as part of our thanks for what you have done for us."
"What does it do?"
"It puts the drinker to sleep, a sleep in which they cannot die and they do not wake up from until they are fully healed."
"That's amazing!"
"Physically and mentally."
"Huh?"
"They don't wake up until mind and body are both healed.
And the mind takes far longer than the body.
Some are sleeping even now, hundreds of years later, still.
It is both a miracle and a curse, this liquid."

Ace might never wake up.
But Luffy would be there when he did.
Because not even Ace could sleep forever.
(Because Luffy would never accept the fact that Ace would never wake up, and impossible things happened at least three times a day before breakfast for Luffy.
That was saying something, considering the speed of Luffy when it concerned his food.)

"A curse in that when they realize how much time has passed, how much they have missed, their mind breaks all over again."

So yeah.
I haven't updated anything in an eternity or two, and this suddenly appears.
About this, this short little thing is a core concept concerning all of my ideas for AU's for the One Piece fandom.
I thought I should just put it out there so it can inspire others, even if I never publish any the AU's I have in my head.
Thank you for reading!
