the scenario i have in mind is Usopp drawing reader,, artist x muse trope is my favorite <3 (established relationship please thxx!! <3)

This is absolutely adorable, and I agree. Usopp needs more love and fics—also I am SO very sorry it took me this long. I had a few other Ace fics I was working on, and I have like 17 drafts 💔

But here you go! I hope you enjoy 💪
