The Genia Trio (St. Fiore)

Masterpost here!

Out of all the buildings of St. Fiore, the Genia Headquarters were the oldest looking one with its outdated electricity system and its walls made of stone that were only used when the kingdom was barely a territory. Even Imperia, whose slogan was “tradition, tradition” embraced modernity and builded its buildings with cement or other materials of the modern day.

It was surprising that this building, mostly financed by the Legionnaires who have been at the forefront of modernity and technological advancements, would look so ancient but as he came to realize in the few days he spent here, Calemund Zolov preferred it that way.

Seated at the far end of the Genia study hall, he flipped through the pages of a combat tactics manual, silently absorbing the information shown on the pages. 

He wasn’t alone in the room. Other students, also Legionnaires in training, were sitting in groups at tables next to him, sharpening their weapons and discussing the upcoming welcome ceremony.

He also wasn’t alone, at least not anymore, at the table he chose a few hours ago.

Across him, Raya Vistarion sat with a book of her own, though she wasn’t reading. She held a pen between her fingers, absently tapping it against the page. 

She had been the first one to join him and instead of mean-mugging her and chasing her away like he had done with the other students that tried, he pushed his books out of the way.

He was intrigued by the girl. He didn’t like her, not particularly but he respected her skills. He had watched briefly her performance at the entrance test and has been wondering since then if he could beat her. 

Then, arrived Juniper Jason. Calemund remembered her name because every single time someone said it, she would yell. “Please call me Juni”.

She didn’t really say anything before slumping over the table with her cheek pressed against the wood. As far as Cal knew, she wasn’t asleep but he didn’t want to verify. Risking eye contact with her could be an invitation to a conversation.

And so they spent the next half hour in silence, each doing what they were doing until Juniper finally spoke, breaking the silence. “Are we just gonna sit here like three  statues, or are we actually going to do something?”  

Raya glanced at her, a frown adorning her face. “What exactly do you suggest?”  

“Dunno,” Juniper said, stretching her arms. “Maybe stop acting like we’re in some war council and talk like normal people?”  

Hell no.

Calemund turned a page of his book. “We’re Legionnaires. We don’t have the luxury of being normal.”  

Juniper snorted. “And that’s why people think Genia’s full of humorless, self-righteous hardasses.”  

Calemund didn’t even look up. “Because we are.”  

Juniper gasped and started a tirade about how false that statement was as she was anything but a humorless, self-righteous hardass.

Rayanara Vistarion, watching the exchange, shook her head slightly. She wouldn’t say it out loud but she would have liked to have a normal conversation with them. 

She had been alone for most of her life with no friends or parents so she never really felt or at least understood the feeling of loneliness. For her, it was just normal.

But ever since, she arrived in St. Fiore, she had found herself wishing to make friends as she watched the continuous parade of friends groups outside her window, always laughing and talking louder than necessary.

Obviously, she knew she wouldn’t find this type of friendship in Genia. After all, Genia was supposed to be a battlefield. Students here were trained to rival mages in combat, to overcome magic with sheer skill and strategy. There was really no place for friendships—only temporary alliances.

And yet, she still wanted friends. That’s why she had chosen to sit at Calemund Zolov’s table. Somehow, over the past few days, she had found herself gravitating toward him.

He intrigued her and she found it comforting that he also seemed to have a mysterious background just like her with no family.

She didn’t think he had one, there was no one with him during move-in day.

She liked Juniper too. She had really beautiful blonde hair and seemed to always wear a shade of blue. She was loud and her laugh reassembled the ones Raya would hear outside her window since students came back on campus.

She wouldn’t have minded them to be the friends she so wished for.

Unfortunately for Rayanara though, today wasn’t the day of the start of this friendship. After a lot of talking from Juni and one word answers from Calemund, they both left to attend to other endeavours leaving Raya, exactly as she has always been. Alone.

The next time Raya saw Juniper and Calemund was a few days after the Welcome Ceremony at the training grounds of Genia when Genia’s DUX, Naima Klein, summoned them for a special assessment.  

"You three," Naima said, standing before them with arms crossed, "are going to face off against a team from Imperia in a simulated battle."  

Raya stiffened. Imperia. The Mage only scholar-guild. 

Calemund’s expression remained neutral. "Who are we facing?"  

Naima pointed to the three figures walking towards them. "Malachi Mikazuchi, Siam Orland-Chenney and Al Arra Raml."  

Juniper let out a low whistle. She seemed to know about them. Actually, she seemed like she knew about every student in their cohort. "Oh, fantastic. But I do have to ask. Are we being punished for something?"  

Raya exhaled at that. Juniper was right. They were outmatched. 

Even for someone who didn’t have magic, she could feel the power emanating from them. Those three weren’t just mages in training, they were probably stronger than a good chunk of seasoned mages, especially the boy with black hair that seemed so familiar.

But complaining wouldn’t change anything. So she nodded to Naima. She would do the simulation.  

Calemund also stood. “I’ll do it.”  

Juniper looked at them in disbelief before unsheathing the dagger on her thigh. “Fine.”  

The simulated battle was set in the largest of Genia’s training arenas. The moment Naima Klein gave the signal, the six students moved.

Calemund moved first, closing the distance between himself and Al Arra Raml in an instant. He knew of her magic and since the training grounds contained a lot of sand, he had to get rid of her first. He would go help the girls when he was done here.

Al Arra sent blasts of white sand towards him. He couldn’t see it but he imagined there were multiple magic circles targeting him now.

He moved fast, not letting himself get engulfed by the fast accumulating sand. 

Meanwhile, Juni darted around the battlefield, her dual daggers cutting shadows as she tried to get around Siam Orland-Chenney’s defenses. 

Of course, her, the ninja in devenir was against a shadow caster. How did they expect her to be stealthy against a fucking shadow.

She threw a few shurikens and hit nothing but air.

“Damn,” Juniper muttered, jumping back to gain some distance. “You’re annoying.”

Raya Vistarion had decided to fight Malachi Mikazuchi, knowing full well that he was the most dangerous person on the field. 

The black-haired boy carried himself with the calm certainty of someone who had never lost a fight. Light danced on his half-bandaged katana, and when he moved, the air itself seemed to cut.

Half-lost in her thoughts, Raya managed to dodge to the left. She hadn’t seen him maneuver the sword but she felt the slash moments before it would have touched her.

She wasn’t fast enough, she realized after seeing the gash on her forearm.

Her surprise gave Malachi an opening and he jumped towards her, katana in hand.

His attacks were so precise and calculated, he might not even need to use magic to beat her. 

She parried his next strike with her own sword, but the force of the attack sent her flying backward.

On the other side of the battlefield, Calemund finally landed a decisive blow, striking Al Arra in the ribs with enough force to make her lose her balance. She gasped, her arms flailing in the air.

Calemund didn’t hesitate. He swept her legs from under her and pinned her to the ground, his knee pressing against her neck.

“Yield,” he said simply

Al Arra struggled for a moment and rolled her eyes. “Fine.”

Before he could celebrate the win, a shadow loomed over him.

Malachi.

Calemund barely had time to react before a force slammed into him, sending him flying across the battlefield. He hit the ground hard, coughing as he struggled to push himself up.

Malachi turned away from him. His attention was now on Juniper and Raya, who were still locked in combat with Siam.

Malachi moved fast. Way too fast. In the blink of an eye, he was behind Juniper. She barely had time to turn before his blade was at her throat.

“Yield,” he said calmly.

Juniper hesitated. Then, with a sigh, she dropped her daggers. “I hate you.”

Malachi ignored her, turning to Raya, the last one standing. Siam stepped back, giving them room, it seemed like she was done for the day.

She charged 

Malachi intercepted her with ease. With one sweeping strike, he knocked her weapon from her grasp and sent her to her knees.

“It’s over,” he said.

Raya closed her eyes. Then, reluctantly, she nodded.

The battle was decided.

Naima Klein stepped forward, surveying the battlefield. “The winners are Imperia,” she declared.

Juniper snorted. “ No shit.” She turned to Malachi. “Are you even allowed to simulate against us ? You’re a member of—--”

Malachi interrupted her with a hand in the air. “It was a good fight.”

Calemund stood, wiping blood from his lip. “We’ll fight again.”

Malachi glanced at him, then nodded. “I look forward to it.”

Rayanara watched them as they both left the training grounds in different directions, one alone and the other surrounded by his guildmates. Rivals and opposites.

Maybe, she should also get a rival.

Parent Duty (2) (St. Fiore)

Masterpost here!

Unlike the sheer chaos  that was unfolding in other dorms, Malachi Mikazuchi’s move-in was…efficient.

“You know, most parents cry when they’re dropping them off their kid,” Malachi commented, watching as his mother placed the last of his folded clothes into the wardrobe. “You’re being really calm about this.”  

Kagura Mikazuchi looked over at him, confused. “Would you rather I make a scene?”  

Malachi shrugged. “No, I was just passing a comment..”  

It wasn’t that his mother was emotionless. Quite the opposite—Kagura was a woman with a lot of emotions, way too many if you asked Malachi but most of the time those feelings were buried under a poker face that had terrified half of Fiore.

Kagura pushed shut the door of the closet before turning back to her son. “This is the start of your next chapter. I expect you to carry yourself with discipline and strength.”  

“Of course.”  

“Don’t engage in unnecessary fights.”  They both knew he wouldn’t but she probably needed this speech more than him. His mother was very talkative when she was overwhelmed.

“I heard you.” he continued. “I promise I’ll be good.”  

She looked at him for a minute and ruffled his hair, smiling softly. “Then I suppose I will take my leave. Lock the door after me.”  

She already had a foot out of the door when she turned and walked back to him “ I know you dislike displays of affection but I love you, child.” And  she hugged him.

His mother had never been shy with praise and words of endearment but he could count on his hands the number of times they hugged after he turned 7 years old. He knew the reason behind that was his aversion to touch and he wondered for the first time if this was something she wished she could’ve done more. If she wished she could have adopted someone else who would let her take on the role of mother completely. He couldn’t change the past but he guessed he could make the future better.

He hugged her back. “I love you too, mom. I’ll miss you.”

She nodded and she left immediately, not letting him see her face. 

Yeah. She was definitely going to cry the whole way back home.

The Raml name was now synonymous with royalty. Or at least it was in Alvarez.

Here in Fiore, it might as well be synonymous with big piece of shit. Al Arra Raml had arrived in St. Fiore five hours ago and had gotten more side eyes and muttered insults thrown her way than she had in her entire life,

“Ugh, I can’t believe your father is sending us here for school.” Beau Myuh complained from her left, juggling with the luggage he had shrunk the size of. “Everyone apparently hates us here and the food is D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G.”  

Al Arra sighed, adjusting her mask while flicking a strand of hair over her shoulder. She couldn’t say anything since she also didn’t know why her father, Ajeel Raml, the emperor of Alvarez would send his only daughter to school in the kingdom he was in a war against not so long ago. He did say something about relations between kingdoms, not that she was listening to him.

Brandish Myuh smacked her son behind the head. “ What did I say about shrinking clothes ? They’re going to be all wrinkled when they’re back to their normal size.”

“Was the smack necessary ?” he grumbled, though he still changed the luggage back to their original size.

“Auntie Bran, do we really have to stay here ? Is Alvarez Institute not good enough?”

“You know it is, sweetheart. I also don’t know why your father has decided to send you so far. “ She whined. “ And the fact that he sent me to this stinking territory to drop you off. Oh, he’s going to hear about it when I return. I mean if you hate your daughter, why do I have to do with that. Am I right ?”

She must’ve seen the look on Al's face since she made the world’s worst effort to be comforting. She went to sit down in the closet where Aran had taken residence since their arrival. “ I’m sure he has his reasons, my love.”

The effort lasted all of 30 seconds and Brandish Myuh was in the doorway, sunglasses on her nose. 

“Okay, I’m leaving now.” She announced. “ Beau, you steer clear of Lucy’s son, I don’t want his bad behaviour to leech on you.”

Al Arra thought about telling her that her son was the one with the bad behaviour but Brandish had already left.

“I hope you don’t like this dress.” Beau said, holding a shredded dress from the newly normal sized luggage.

“This is literally going to be the worst year ever..”

Stormy Decision (St. Fiore)

Masterpost Here!

Storm Fullbuster rolled her eyes for what she felt like was the thousandth time today as she watched her cousin be everything but serious about the very important task in front of them.

Storm, who was serving the first year of her sentence at St. Fiore, had recently been elected as Euredia’s DUX by the previous one.

She had been confused when she received the letter stating that she was the new Euredia’s DUX, she wasn’t aware that an election took place and since she had won it, she also must have not been aware of how much the student body loved her despite the fact that they didn’t know her.

But then, she learned that there were no election and that if there was a real election in the scholar guild, she probably wouldn’t have cracked Top-10.

So, here was the situation. The previous DUX, Bastion Kross, now a graduate and a mage working for Davana Scale Guild had elected -or really just decided without asking anyone as it was costume here- on a sunny day of June that he wanted Storm as the next DUX of Euredia.

Great honor for Storm, yes, but also great pain in her ass because one) she hated responsibility and actively avoided it and two) Bastion had skipped over a good dozen of deserving candidates, all third and second years to choose her, a first year. 

The decision was met with great uproar, threats, allegations of nepotism, a slight judgment of Kross’s taste if they really were an item like the rumours said Ouch and an urgent motion to instore a real election- during vacation time, mind you-before the appointment of a DUX.

The motion did get a lot of yes, mostly from the losers over at Genia but it was immediately vetoed by the Corps and the Headmaster because he’d rather die than let the students decide for anything by themselves.

So it is with a multitude of side eyes, that Storm started her school year as one of the highest authorities on campus with no idea of how most things worked.

Actually, scratch it she did not know how anything worked, because a little over two weeks after the beginning of classes, she was asked why Euredia did not have a SAX yet.

I forgot to elect one, is what she had answered rather nonchalantly because, genuinely what was the big deal. She was getting the work done anyways and that was all that mattered.

Which had upset Reina Neekis, the highest-ranked student in the Corps and made her yell at Storm for an hour about respecting rules and customs before giving her three days to appoint a vice-master unless…

Storm didn’t stay long enough to hear the threat, but it seemed scary.

Storm sent a grim look towards her cousin as another candidate left the room. She frowned a bit at the mark left by the candidate’s fingers on her desk and swore in her head. She would have to deep clean or Kiera would kill her.

She had asked Leonora’s help with the interview process to choose a SAX, because being cursed by Reina still didn’t change the fact that she preferred speaking to a maximum of 3 persons a day.

Which is why she was currently sitting in Kiera’s Redfox dorm room with her least favourite and only cousin-ish, letting her do all the work (work is loosely used here) and only chipping in when someone interested here.

“Leo, it can’t be that hard to choose an assistant. Neekis is going to chew my ass again if I don’t give her a name today.”

Leonora Vastia glared at her, her long white eyelashes almost touching her eyebrow.  “Do you not want the best person available? I’m just being thorough!”

Oh and Storm didn’t doubt that. She was so thorough, she’ll learn first if someone is involved in school’s gossip before asking anything relevant.

She thought about the last candidate who didn’t meet Leo’s standards.

The interview had gone well until Leo decided to ask “The question that will decide if they’re worth it”, her words not Storm’s.

Pen in hand, face as serious as it can be with pink glitters, Leonora had stared at the girl in front of her. “And how long will it take you to go from, let’s say the council building to the Fairy Café, buy a coffee and come back?”

The girl (her name was Loera, maybe) frowned at the question. “I mean, the two are pretty far…” She started. “Maybe 20 minutes or more- “

“NEXT” The white-haired girl yelled, earning another sigh from Storm in the seat beside her.

She clicked on the button on the desk, calling the lady taking care of the front desk and practically shrieked when she answered. “Enya, please don’t let anyone that looks like they walk slower than my GREAT grandfather enters this office.”

She continued, obviously not done with the rant. “I mean, 20 minutes? A crawling baby can get it done in 10 minutes. Five if you promise them candies when they get back. Right, Enya?”

“Enya?” She repeated when silence met her need of approval. “Oh, she hung up on me.”

“I would’ve done the same, weirdo. Now, before we let the next candidate enter, please remember that we are looking for a SAX so keep your inquiries to relevant information about the fucking job.”

Leo gasped. “Did you just curse?” She clutched Storm’s hand in hers. “Is the job changing you already?”

Storm had ignored her as another candidate made her way to them. She seemed competent and Storm almost saw the end of the tunnel.

But then Leonora did what she always did, be extremely annoying.

“What do you think about Siegria Scarlet-Fernandes?”

“She’s so cool and her hair? I need to know what she uses.” The girl answered, all smiles and big gestures.

“I heard it was the blood of a panoply of innocent animals and orphan babies; that’s why it is so red, but you didn’t hear from me!” Leo had said and waited for the girl to stop laughing before yelling “NEXT” in her face.

The next candidate didn’t even make it to the desk that she was waved off by the Vastia’s daughter. “Not sorry, I don’t hire and don’t want men around me.”

The candidate, a blue-haired boy, had then pointed to Hayeis Cobra, napping in the corner. “Is he not a man?”

Leo scowled at him. “He’s my boyfriend, I don’t even see him as human.”

Storm waited until the boy closed the door behind him before turning to her cousin. "Leo, please, just help me pick someone before Neekis has me excommunicated or whatever the hell she threatened."

As if to stress her even more. Leo started speaking as slowly as she could. "We could go back to Loera, but she was too slow. Or maybe, Enya is willing to take on the role."

Storm let out a long sigh before staring up at the ceiling as if divine intervention would strike at any moment. It didn’t. "Alright, Fuck it. Let’s take a break and finish this later, I’m hungry”

And because Storm was such a lucky girl, the door slammed open right as the words left her mouth, revealing Reina Neekis herself, looking far less amused than usual, not that she was ever amused. "Name now, Fullbuster."

Storm sat up straighter, as if she had been caught doing something far worse than putting off her responsibilities. "Oh, Hello Commander!”

"Name," Neekis said flatly.

"What now ?" Maybe being dumb would get her out of this.

"The name, Storm. You were given three days. It’s been three days. Who is your SAX?"

Storm gritted her teeth. She had exactly three seconds before Neekis skinned her alive in broad daylight. And so, she did the one thing she was best at: panicking.

"Kiera Redfox."

The words left her mouth before she could think them through. Leonora who’s been awfully silent jaw dropped and for the first time since she met her, Neekis looked genuinely surprised.

"Kiera Redfox?" Neekis repeated.

Storm nodded, as if she had thought this through and wasn’t just throwing her best friend to the wolves. "Yeah. Kiera. She’s perfect for it. Dependable. Smart. Definitely fast enough to get you coffee in less than five minutes."

Leonora actually cackled, clapping her hands. "None of that was true."

Storm ignored her. Neekis studied her for a long moment.

“You do know that choosing another first year instead of taking from the pool of second and third years is not going to earn you any favour?”

Storm opened her mouth, ready to say that in fact none of them wanted to work with her when Reina held her hand out to stop any rebuttal. "Whatever you want to say, I don’t care.”

She noted something in her book note. It’s done. Kiera Redfox is Euredia’s SAX. I expect her to be at the next Convax meeting. If she doesn’t show up, I will kill you."

And with that, she turned and left, slamming the door behind them behind her.

The room was silent for a solid five seconds before Leonora burst out laughing again. "Oh, this is the best day of my life."

Storm dropped her head onto the desk. "I’m going to die. She’s actually going to kill me."

And across campus, completely unaware of the disaster that had just been thrown upon her, Kiera Redfox sneezed.

Royal Annoyance (St. Fiore)

Masterpost Here!

The moment Al Arra Raml stepped off the airship, she wanted to turn around and leave.  

The air was too humid, the streets were way too loud, and worst of all—the people of Fiore had a weird way of staring.

Maybe it was the crown she had refused to take off after leaving home, or the unmistakable Alvarez insignia stitched on the front and back of her travel cloak. Or maybe it was the loud groans she insisted on doing while dragging the overpacked suitcase behind her, but whatever it was, she was already regretting everything about this journey.  

"Ugh," she groaned once again, arranging the crown on her head before ultimately taking it off when it threatened to fall again. "This place is filthy. And I swear, if I hear one more person yell about ‘fresh bread’ or ‘discounted armor’—"  

"Lara, would you shut up and keep walking?" Beau Myuh, her always so kind childhood friend, said, his nose also scrunched up in disgust. "We’re supposed to head straight to the palace, not complain about the locals."  

"Not my fault this place is a nightmare." Al Arra scoffed. "Alvarez is so much better. There, people actually know how to mind their own business.Everything is so loud and you can actually walk in the street without having your eyes be attacked by bright colours.” She ended that statement by mean mugging a passing child who seemed entranced with the effort she was exhibiting.

In her country, anyone able to walk would have ran to help her push the luggages, here they just looked at her with amusement. 

Brandish Myuh, who was walking slightly ahead of them, sighed in pure exhaustion. "I don’t care what either of you think, walk faster. I have a ship to catch back home. No way, I’m staying here more than necessary."  

Al Arra sighed dramatically. Of course, she couldn’t count on Brandish to offer emotional support or support at all, really.

The marketplace around them was becoming more and more loud as they were making their way to the Royal residence in Crocus—merchants shouting, guild mages laughing, yells that would without any doubt precede a fight, the mixed smell of roasted meat and freshly baked pastries wafting through the air.  And all of that was just too much for Al Arra Amiera Raml,  Princess Heir of Alvarez.

While in the airship. everything had seemed so fascinating from above but now that she was in the middle of it all, she realized how overwhelming it was for her, someone that lived in a drastically different environment. 

"I need a break," she announced, coming to a full stop in the middle of the street.  

Beau glared at her. "Oh, no you don’t —"  

But Al Arra had already turned away from him and Brandish, her eyes scanning the area for a less busy street. 

The Alvarian princess wandered for longer than she intended. She realized that when it dawned on her that she was lost in an unknown country, in an unknown city with no means to communicate with the only two persons she knew here.

The city of Crocus turned out to be a maze, and before she knew it, she had walked away from the main market district into this neighborhood. The streets were quieter here, the buildings older, and the air felt different, a bit lighter.

She stopped in front of a fountain that she passed at least three times in the last ten minutes while trying to find her way. 

"Not from around here, huh?"  

She turned around, startled.  

A boy stood a few feet away, hands holding a bright pink backpack (what was it with this country and bright colors), watching her with mild amusement. 

He had blonde messy hair, a tall frame, and annoyingly clear green eyes. He was wearing the concept of an uniform, a white rumpled shirt, an untied tie and only one arm of the black jacket  like he didn’t care to wear it properly, the other one floating in the air.

Al Arra narrowed her eyes, although she was quite grateful that no one thought she was from here. "Who are you?"  

He smirked. "Atlas. Are you lost or something?"  

She scowled. Yes! but she’d rather die than admit that. "No. I just needed to get away from the noise before I committed a violent crime."  

Atlas stepped closer and plopped down onto the fountain’s edge beside her, stretching his legs out lazily. "So, where are you from?"  

"Alvarez."  

"Figures." He nodded at the cloak she was wearing. "You look so gloomy and snobby too."  

Al Arra nearly choked. "Excuse me?"  

Atlas just laughed. "Relax, princess. I don’t mean it in a bad way. You just, y’know. Carry yourself like you own the place."  

"Maybe because I should and maybe you shouldn’t talk to me with such a familiar tone." she muttered, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "I’m Al Arra Amiera Raml, Princess Heir of Alvarez. Ever heard of my father? Ajeel Raml, Emperor of Alvarez?"  

Atlas blinked. Then, to her utter horror, he laughed, then stopped when she didn’t share the laugh with him.” 

"Wait—you’re serious? You’re the daughter of the guy who got his ass kicked by Fairy Tail ?"  

Her face burned. "That was twenty years ago!"  

Atlas snickered, crossing his arms. "Still funny, though."  

She scowled at him. "You’re incredibly insupportable."  

"And you’re incredibly uptight, you need to loosen up." he shot back with a grin. 

"I heard students from Alvarez were joining St. Fiore. Are you one of them ?"  

Her expression twisted at the mention of the academy. She turned away, staring at the water. "Not, if I do something about it."  

Atlas tilted his head, confused at her answer. "What do you mean ?"  

She didn’t answer.

A silence stretched between them. The distant sounds of the market hummed in the background. 

Finally, Atlas shrugged. "Then why’d you come here if you don’t want to attend St. Fiore ?"  

Al Arra hesitated again. The answer was complicated, one she wasn’t even sure she fully understood.  

After a moment, she muttered, "Because my father made me."  

Atlas watched her for a beat, then nudged her shoulder lightly. "Well. If it makes you feel better, most of us didn’t exactly sign up for this either."  

She glanced at him, skeptical. Was he also a royal from another kingdom, she didn’t recognize ?

She took another look at him, trying to conjure some sort of recognizance. "You too?"  

Atlas shook his head. "Eh. Let’s just say being a Dragneel comes with a whole bunch of expectations."  

Dragneel ?

"Dragneel ?" She eyed him again, closely, noticing for the first time the scarf around his neck. She had heard of it.  

Her eyes narrowed. "Wait. Are you related to—"  

Before she could finish her question, a loud voice interrupted.  

"THERE YOU ARE!"  

Beau stormed into the alleyway, his face red with frustration. With his green hair, he looked like a tomato or strawberry but Al Arra knew better than to say it out loud now. He seemed really mad.

"Oh, great. The search party."  

Beau glared at her. "Oh, don’t you dare be smartass right now. Do you have any idea how annoying it was trying to find you?!"  

Atlas snorted. " Couldn’t have been that annoying. She wasn’t exactly hiding."  

Beau’s eyes turned to him for the first time. He stared for a few seconds. " Atlas?"  

Atlas grinned, standing up. " Long time, no see Beau!"

Beau’s mouth stayed agape. "What the hell?" He turned to Al Arra. "You were off making friends with a Heartfilia while I was losing my mind looking for you? Seriously? He’s probably trying to get info for the Aquarius key."  

The girl frowned. " What the hell are you talking about ?"  

Atlas answered for the redder Beau. " Family business."  

At last, Brandish appeared from behind Beau, a drink in each of her hands. Her eyes fleeted to Atlas before she turned to the two Alvarians teenagers "Enough of this. We’re leaving now. I have stuff to do."  

Beau grabbed Al Arra’s wrist and quite literally dragged her away. "Let’s go, Your Highness."  

She sent one last glance at Atlas before following Beau. He gave her a wave, his grin still in place.

"See ya at the academy, Princess."  

She rolled her eyes, but as she walked away, she couldn’t help the small smirk tugging at her lips.  

Maybe just maybe, the academy wouldn’t be as terrible as she thought.

Parent Duty (1) (St. Fiore)

Masterpost here!

Today was the eve of the official first day of school for the 20th Cohort, meaning parents all over the continent abandoned duties at their respective guilds or jobs to come help their beloved offspring move in in what would be their residence for the next three years.

Meredy Vastia wasn’t surprised that the first words out of her husband’s mouth when they opened the door to their daughter’s dorm room, were a snide remark regarding its size.

One thing that the pink-haired woman had learned during her years of marriage with Lyon Bastia is that he did everything grand and in quantity. Their residence in Margaret City was more a mansion than a house. They had at least five rooms dedicated to his numerous clothes and shoes and she didn’t even want to comment on the 3 meters tall statue in his image right next to her lilies garden.

Considering that, Meredy didn’t even blink when their first daughter Leonora Vastia started exhibiting the same immoderate behaviour at the ripe age of 3 years old.

“Seriously, haven’t the rooms gotten smaller since last year ?” Lyon asked, horror peaking in his voice.

Their daughter threw her arms up dramatically, from the doorway. She still refused to enter the room. “Oh my, thank you Dad!! See, mom, I told you! The closet can’t even fit half of the clothes in my smallest suitcase.”

Lyon’s eyes flickered to the mentioned suitcase before scanning the entire room. He folded his arms, nodding in agreement. "Mer, she’s right. Where is she supposed to put her shoes? Should we look into something bigger off-campus?"  

Meredy rolled her eyes, making it a point to ignore her husband’s proposition and instead turned to her daughter. “You wear uniforms Leo, you don’t even need a quarter of the clothes you bought.” Plus, she already agreed to pay more for a bigger room, they were not going to pay for an apartment.

They both gasped as if her statement was offensive. “Because you think it can even hold all of her uniforms ?” Lyon asked incredulously.

Meredy sighed. It was going to be such a long day.

Siegria Scarlet-Fernandes sat on the edge of the window, arms crossed, silently watching as her father and younger sister engaged in what was possibly the most ridiculous argument she had ever witnessed.

"That red is too red, Chi," Jellal Fernandes, father of the year, said, eyeing the set of scarlet bedsheets Chiara had just laid down. "It’s going to blind anyone who looks into her window."  

Chiara scowled at him. "It’s not that bright, Dad. It’s a nice color! And anyone that looks into the window should have something nice to look at because it won’t be Ria."  

Siegria decided to ignore that for the sake of her father. He was already stressed being here alone since her mother was stuck in Oka for a council emergency. Poor man would probably short circuit if they were to fight now.

Jellal turned towards the window, as if he was seeing for the first time now and then turned to his eldest daughter.

"Should we get thicker curtains? Just in case? I don’t want people peeking into your room at will."  

Considering the fact that her room was on the twentieth floor, Siegria highly doubted anyone would risk life and limb just to get a glimpse of her unmade bed.

She let out a long sigh. "Dad, you’re being fussy again."  

Jellal frowned. "I’m just being practical. Security is important."  

"You’re being excessive," Siegria corrected.  

"Your safety is my top priority." 

"But Siegria’s a big girl now, Dad. Maybe she wants someone to peek into her room. Someone like..-"  Chiara didn’t have the time to finish her phrase that Siegria was on her feet throwing books at her.

Siegria turned to her father, ready to deny everything that was said and was met with the truly horrified expression on his face.

“Maybe I should call your mom.” He said, without meeting her eyes. “ She should be the one to have THE conversation with you.”

This was going to be a long day.

_____________________________________________________

In the Valdia Dorm Hall, Storm Fullbuster was doing everything in her power not to snap at her lovely mother that she swore she loved a lot.  

"Storm, don’t make that face, you will have wrinkles" Juvia Fullbuster said sweetly, smoothing Storm’s forehead with the strength of a thousand waves. “Don’t forget to socialize, no staying in your room all day and studying.”

Storm sighed, still accepting the nurturing hands of her mom which now moved to her chin and a new pimple. “I got it Mom."  

"Look at you! So grown up, so pretty, just like your father!" Juvia said, taking a step back to admire her work. "All of the young boys will surely be fawning over you, just like they did with Gray-sama back in the day!"  

Storm bottled a joke about Natsu and Gajeel being the boys who were fawning over him as her father, Gray Fullbuster, standing a few feet away with his arms crossed, groaned in exasperation. "Juvia, leave the kid’s face alone and stop telling her that!"  

"But it is true! The Fullbuster charm is powerful!. I expect a boyfriend before the end of the semester.”

Gray shot a glare at his wife. "Storm, just ignore her. I do."  

She was trying and matter of fact, her father wasn’t one to talk. He also had his annoying bout except his was the night before when everyone else was asleep. He cried for a literal hour and made her promise that she would call him for any inconvenience she would encounter.

Storm was already dreading the first week back at the Academy, and this wasn’t helping. First, there was the Welcome Ceremony, which meant hours of unnecessary speeches, excessive displays of power, and an inevitable fight between egomaniacs because that’s what this school was full of. Then there was the matter of her dorm, which, while perfectly fine to her, had somehow triggered her mother’s deepest maternal instincts.  

She felt for Silo, her youngest brother, already. She was going to be so much worse with him.

Actually, she didn’t feel bad for him, not when refused to wake up this morning to accompany her to school this morning

"Juvia thinks Storm’s room is too cold, temperature AND feeling wise" her mother said, eyes scanning for holes in the window. "There is no warmth! No heart! Perhaps Juvia should knit some blankets? Or a sweater? And make a carpet ?"  

Storm shot her father a look that translated to a plea to take his damn wife and leave me alone. He ignored her, only nodding to what his wife was enumerating.

"Mom, I’m fine," Storm said, her irritation peaking in her voice. "It’s a dorm room, not a castle. I don’t need you to redecorate it and I already have extra blankets. And clothes. I don’t need a sweater."  

"You do not want a sweater made with love from your mother?"  

"It’s July."  

Juvia gasped dramatically. "But winter is coming!"   

The word “Fine" did not fully leave Storm’s mouth that her mother was already out of the door to bring up the suitcase she promised she wouldn’t bring with her.

Storm let out a breath, thinking that she’d survived the worst of it. But then her father smirked at her.

"Now, let’s talk about boys."  

Fucking hell.

“Gideon Groh-Alberona, I am begging you,” Cana pleaded as she hauled an enormous barrel into the room. “Tell me there’s space in this room where I can store this.”  

Gideon leaned against the wall, arms crossed, barely hiding his smile. “Mom, why in the world did you bring an entire keg to move-in day?”  

And thank god, she did. He was not going to survive today without alcohol.

“First of all, it’s three kegs,” Cana said, pointing at Gideon’s father bringing up two other kegs. “And second of all, tradition.”

His grandfather, Gildarts Clive, who had been lounging on Gideon’s new bed like he was the one moving in, nodded solemnly at him. “She’s right, kiddo. Every single Clive has developed alcoholism by 16. Your great-grandmother did by 12.”  

“What a legend, man” Gideon said and he meant every single word.

“That’s what I said!!” Cana beamed. “But someone—” she shot a glare at Bacchus, “—thinks I shouldn’t pass down the family legacy.”  

“I never said that,” Gideon’s father defended himself, casually dropping the other kegs next to the fist one. “I just said, maybe, don’t get our kid expelled on the first day.”  

“Details, details.” Cana scoffed, already scanning the room for places to hide the barrel.  

Gideon, watching the ridiculous back-and-forth, chuckled to himself. Most people had parents who got all misty-eyed when they dropped their kids off at school. His? Argued over whether smuggling alcohol onto campus was a brilliant idea.  

“Alright,” Gideon said, pushing off the wall, “if we’re gonna sneak this in, we gotta be smart about it.”  

Cana grinned proudly. “I’m so glad you’re my son.”  

“And that you’re my grandson.” Gildarts chimed in before turning to his son-in-law and losing his smile. “ Bacchus, be a man and teach your son the real lessons of life.”

“Absolutely not,” his dad said, horrified. “ He’s actually supposed to be learning here, old man.”  

“I will be learning,” Gideon assured him, a hand on his heart. “Just, you know, in multiple disciplines.”  

Cana gave an approving nod. Bacchus sighed.  

“Alright, fine. Just don’t get caught.”  

Daughter, grandfather and son all screeched, jumping up and down. 

Bacchus, half exasperated and half happy, now watched as his son pushed a keg in his closet while his wife was debating whether she could bribe a teacher into looking the other way while the grandfather was taking pictures on a very dated Lacrima mobile.

The year was going to be so long and he was definitely going to be called here within the first week.

St. Fiore: An Introduction (St. Fiore)

Masterpost Here!

Twenty years after the victory against the Alvarez Empire, the Kingdom of Fiore, though it had experienced a peaceful decade and change, was once again on the brink of conflict, this time the threat being well within its territory.

In the last few years, the number of institutions known as Legionnaire guilds has risen across the kingdom, mirroring the increasing anti-magic sentiment among the general population. 

The divide between mages and non-magic users, at first inexistant, was growing deeper.  fueled by powerful people.

The pioneers of this agenda were the members of the mercenary guild Garuda Eye, a dominant force in today’s Fiore. The guild itself has always been around but it is only in the last year that their name has started being recognized by the lambda citizen.

Garuda Eye's message was clear: magic was the root cause of most wars, especially the devastating Alvarez War. They claimed that the existence of magic itself was not natural and should be eradicated.

They claimed that non-magic users, with rigorous training and discipline, could rival and even surpass mages, making magic obsolete. Their ultimate goal was a world without magic, one where human skill and strategy triumphed over unnatural abilities.

This ideology gave rise to Legionnaires Halls, institutions that trained non-magic users to their peak potential or in other words, soldiers. Within a decade, the number of Legionnaires Halls had not only matched but surpassed the magic academies, creating a real fear into the minds of the magic’s world governing body. They, in response, started aggressively financing magic schools, which they honestly abandoned,  to maintain their influence, while Legionnaire Guilds  poured entire nations' worth of money into their training programs, determined to claim dominance.

Not all Legionnaires, however, shared Garuda Eye’s extreme thinking. Many had simply organized in response to their helplessness during the war, seeking to offer aid and protection to the common people in ways they previously could not. Similarly, while most mages supported the existence of mercenary guilds and frequently collaborated with them, a small but vocal faction remained staunchly opposed to this alliance, claiming that it was unwise to do so as their numbers were much higher

To prevent an all-out war between the two factions and avoid choosing sides to finance, the Fiore government established its own national institution: St. Fiore Academy.

St. Fiore quickly rose to prominence for two key reasons. First, it was the only academy that trained both magic and non-magic users under one roof. 

Second, it functioned as a miniature kingdom of its own. Within its magically secluded boundaries, the academy had its own governing and guild system, all managed by students.

Four scholar guilds (Euredia, Imperia, Genia, Valdia) formed the foundation of the academy’s structure. Each guild was led by a master (DUX) and a vice-master (SAX), who together formed the Convax, the governing body of the guilds. Genia was exclusively for non-magic users or Legionnaires, while Imperia accepted only magic users, mages. Euredia and Valdia, on the other hand, accepted students based on merit, regardless of magical ability.

Scholar guilds operated much like the guilds of Fiore, with missions posted in their respective Guild Quarters. Completing these missions contributed to a student's grades, meaning that success in St. Fiore was based on ability and contribution rather than status or wealth, so it was advertised at least.

Above the Convax, a nine-member council known as The Corps acted as the highest authority in the academy. Its members, usually the most powerful students on Campus, were tasked with maintaining balance, overseeing guild affairs, and enforcing discipline and justice across the entire student body—guild members and unaffiliated students alike.

St. Fiore was as much a real life experience as it was an institution. Admission was granted only to those who survived a strenuous series of tests designed to filter out the weak, ensuring that every student who set foot on its island was among the best of their generation.

And rumor was that this generation was shaping up to be the one yet…

Thunder God Tribe ? (Fairies Heirs)

Master Post here!

In which the Strauss Cousins plus Feirn have to make an important decision.

Sitting at a table in the right corner of the guild, Makiva Dreyar was doing her utmost best to not let her eyes roll out of their orbits at her cousin’s display. 

Eldeweiss, who has been number one on Makiva’s black list for 14 years now and counting, was currently on the guild stage performing a magic show no one asked to see.

For the last 30 minutes, the guild members and herself have been subjected to the almost-decapitation of Hollis - poor cat really-, a horde of flesh-eating birds appearing out of a khaki Heart Kruz boot - apparently Weiss couldn’t bring herself to wear a hat and hide her magnificent hair- and so much more on that same level of extravaganza.

However, none of that compared to the assortment of herbs, candles, grimoires and the big pot, the witch- derogatory- had brought with her on stage which were useless and had pissed off Makiva because one) this was supposed to be a magic show not a recreation of Polyussica’s life and two) Eldeweiss didn’t need to mix anything, ‘sacrifice’ anything to cast a spell nor did she need that forsaken wand. It really only came down to the fact that her cousin liked attention and being fucking weird.

But since Makiva wasn’t bitter as some people, such as said cousin, claimed, she let her do her thing, keeping her reaction to only a scowl whenever Eldeweiss would shake that useless wand in the air.

From her left, Alisea Strauss whistled a bit at another wave of the pink wand that was directed this time at the roof and watched as a piece of wood fell in the middle of the guild. “Wow, she’s actually starting to convince me that she's insane.”

“Come on, she’s just having fun.” Alistair gently pushed his twin’s shoulder. “No one says anything when you force us to take your pictures.”

Alisea snorted at him. “Whatever.”

“For her defense, though, she’s also starting to convince me that the wand is real.” Feirn said from her place besides Alisea.

Makiva rolled her eyes at that. She admired how Feirn always found a way to defend her. “I’ll be convinced it’s real when it makes her act like a normal person.”

“Might happen, magic is a miracle after all” Alisea said, her eyes still on the piece of roof.

The sudden applause warned them of the end of the spectacle. The three Strauss cousins plus Feirn watched as the girl of the half-hour walked towards them with a bouquet of flowers she no doubt gave to herself.

“I am surprised you didn’t say abracadabra.” Makiva said when Edelweiss finally joined their table after stopping at each table to collect forced compliments.

Weiss glared at them as if they were the crazy ones. “Don’t be ridiculous, saying abracadabra is not needed to cast a spell.” 

She sat down, offered one of the roses to Feirn and then turned to Alisea. “ How did you find the show ? I got more applause than your fashion show last week.”

That was all that was needed to wipe the smirk off Alisea’s face. “You stunk the place up with your random plants. I would applaud you off the stage too!”

“Say that one more time ?”

“Girls!” Alistair jumped in, forcing Weiss to take the seat she had left to go at Lisanna's daughter, knowing the next phase was undoubtedly a fight between the two girls and between all the guild members. 

He turned to his cousin. “I think you did pretty well. the decapitation was very realistic.”

Feirn nodded her agreement.

The following minutes were spent in almost silence. Alisea checked out of the conversation. Feirn and Weiss were partaking in their weird telepathic conversation and Makiva, herself was trying to drill a hole, with her eyes, in the back of Alistair’s head who refused to meet her gaze.

Giving up, she directed her eyes to Alisea, met her gaze and changed her mind before turning to Feirn. The message seemed to pass as the green-haired girl coughed…too loudly for it to be natural.

Feirn clapped her hands. “Since we’re all here, shall we choose the name of our team? The deadline is in two hours!”

Alisea bid her goodbyes.“That’s my cue to leave, see you later Ali!” 

Makiva groaned, leaning back in her chair as her cousin disappeared into the crowd of guild members. “Come on! You promised!”

“You’re so NOT a team player!” Weiss yelled and Makiva had to stop herself from slamming her head into the table.

The reason why they didn’t have a team yet was because the eldest Strauss cousin didn’t agree with any of the suggestions made in the past three months. Even crazy number one (Alisea) settled on a team name.

“Alright, team name,” Feirn repeated, playing with petals of her rose.

“I am going to repeat the options.” Mak said, her eyes on Weiss. “I don't want to hear anything if it’s not yes or no.” 

“I was thinking we should do a name with substance, a bit of theatrics.” Eldeweiss said, ignoring Makiva’s previous statement. “Like The Scarlet Sorrows or The Wraiths of Midnight.”

Makiva’s eyebrow twitched. “No.”

She pouted. “You’re so difficult!, And you’re surprised we don’t have a team name yet ?”

It is true that no one could irritate you like a sibling. Makiva didn’t have any but Weiss was the closest thing to a sibling she had or she was because she was going to die today.

Edelweiss must have felt the incoming thunder strike because she sighed loudly. “ Fine, if you want to have a lame name.’’ 

She pointed to the paper Makiva was holding. “Just submit the first name on your list.”

“Thunder God Tribe ?”

Titania's Heir (Fairies Heirs)

Masterpost here!

In which the Scarlet-Fernandes welcome their first child.

When Erza Scarlet-Fernandes had met her mother for the first time, multiple years ago, she had been surprised by the striking resemblance between them. The scarlet hair, the brown eyes, the powerful magic coursing through their veins, Erza realized that despite the fact that she had never knew that woman, she was nothing but the clone of Eileen Belserion. It had annoyed Erza how much she looked like someone she never met. 

The warrior had always loved her scarlet hair but after that fateful meeting, she grown to maybe dislike it, never hate it, but for some time she had abhorred negatives feelings towards it, at least until she met her own daughter.

The pregnancy wasn’t planned. The couple had just married and bought a home in Magnolia, their bedroom was still full of moving boxes that were supposed to be put away weeks ago. 

Erza was still settling down over at Oka with her new job in the Wizards Saints. She was also juggling that with her vice-master position at Fairy Tail and so many other things that came with adulthood and married life.

Jellal, for his part, was experimenting the woes of being a guild master. Supervision, paperwork, meetings, missions tracking and God, the list was so long but he was managing it by working long hours. 

The blue-haired man barely had time to go back home most nights, until a particular spring night, when he decided a break was necessary after watching a chunk of his long blue hair fall on the desk next to the missions reports he was going over.

He had then gone back home to cook a quick dinner for his wife before going back to the guild (Erza still couldn’t manage an omelette) when said wife busted in from the front door holding a pregnancy test.

It had hit Jellal at that moment, at the same time as the spatula he was holding hit his foot, that they had never discussed having children before. 

They both had their worries and insecurities in relation to their parenting capabilities and perhaps, he thought they both made peace with the fact that their partner would probably never want kids without ever discussing it.

Jellal knew of the negative feelings Erza harbored towards her birthmother and of her fears of being like her if she had her children. Erza knew of the tragic end of Jellal’s mother life and of his fear that he might make his children go through such a traumatic event, taking account of all his enemies.

Erza and Jellal had been in love since they understood what love was and if family was to be the two of them and the horde of godchildren, they were going to have then so be it. Because in their mind, as long as they were together, then everything would be okay always, so the idea of parenthood was never mentioned between them, the both of them tiptoeing with their answers when they were asked when the scarlet-haired baby would arrive.

When the second pregnancy test showed a positive result under the nervous watch of the couple, somehow all it took was a single look between to confirm it. They would be keeping that baby, and they were going to make sure they wouldn’t go through any of what they endured as children.

Their daughter was born on the 23rd of November just as the first snow of the year fell on Magnolia.

After much fussing from the guild members and Kagura and Meldy and Minerva and so many more people who held the couple in their heart, the couple finally had their first moment alone with their daughter a few hours after birth.

Erza was once again surprised and quite annoyed at the strength of Eileen’s genes. Their daughter was also a clone of the high enchantress. The only difference was that her daughter had taken the green eyes of her husband and it’s in the same eyes that Erza looked into and promised that she would protect her with her own life.

Jellal's smile had not left his face in hours now. He was holding his daughter and trying to keep at bay the emotions. He had a thought for his own mother who had fought so hard to protect him and knew without a doubt that he would go the the same lengths for the scarlet-haired baby in his arm.

He shared a smile with Erza who was now awake and watching them.

"We should name her Siegria." She said between two yawns.

He turned his eyes back to their daughter. " Siegria.." He repeated slowly. That was the perfect name.

Siegria after Jellal’s birth name, Siegrain. A new beginning, for all of them, of a story that would go just right this time.

Storm Fanatic (Fairies Heirs)

It wasn’t that Kaen was avoiding her. He was a Redfox for Mavis’s sake. Redfox weren’t scared to talk to their crushes.

Kaen Redfox wasn’t hiding in the closet because he was avoiding Storm Fullbuster. 

In fact, he wasn’t hiding at all. It was just that as he was walking in the guild hallway, he remembered that he left his coat in said closet in said guild hallway last winter and thought that he might as well get it back now.

His presence in the small space had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Storm had turned into said hallway at the exact time he jumped head first in the first room he saw.

Seriously, he really just wanted the coat. He had been looking all over for it.

Kaen believed his exit from the hallway had been very normal looking and not at all suspicious. He was actually chuckling, praising his reflexes and trying to ignore the sharp pain in his knees, the real victims in this situation, when the door he had just closed very quietly opened suddenly. On the other side, a concerned Storm stood.

In that moment, Kaen closed his eyes, prayed very hard that twin telepathy was real and sent a message to his sister to open the earth and let it swallow him.

He opened his eyes. He wasn’t 6 feet deep. Storm was still in front of him, looking at him with an expression between amusement and worry.

As dreadful as the whole thing was, he wasn't surprised that his only thought at that point was that he really liked when she let her hair down and that she had very pretty eyes.

“Storm ! What are you doing down here?” he asked with all smiles, painfully aware that he was on all fours. “Are you looking for your coat too?”

The worried frown did not leave the dark-haired girl's face. “I heard something fall in here and the door closed very loudly” she said, holding out a hand to him. 

He got up with her help, still trying to act nonchalantly.

She dusted something off his hair. “Are you okay?” She asked.

He laughed and winced at the horrid noise, ignoring how her being so close to him was making him blush. God, was it that hard to act normally? “Yeah, yeah, just looking for my raincoat to go back home, heard it was going to rain later.” he explained and then nearly fell to all fours again when the words left his lips.

Who lies to the human rain-detector and says that it’s going to rain later ?

“Rain ?” She paused for a moment, looking up as if she could see the sky through the wooden roof. “I don’t think it’s going to rain today.” 

Yeah, he figured.

“Anyways, Atlas and I are going home too.” She continued. “ Want to walk with us? I’ll keep the rain off of us even if you don’t find your coat.”

Kaen sighed. Fucking Atlas. Of course, the only time blondie boy would go somewhere using his own two feet and not by flight with Haya is when he was pretending to be a gentleman. Walking girls home and what not. He was such a fucking loser.

No way, he was going to third wheel and watch his worst enemy flirt with his crush right in his face. So he did what anyone would do in that situation.

“My mom will kill me if I don’t find the coat though.” he said weakly. “ You just go ahead, I’ll go home later.”

Point to Redfox! Girls love Mama's boys.

She chuckled. “Are you sure ?I can wait for you. I don’t want you to get wet and catch a cold.” 

Kaen found it endearing that she insisted with the rain thing when they both knew that it was a lie. It was the middle of summer in Magnolia, the closest thing to rain that could happen is Blue Pegasus’s boat leaking magic gas while in flight.

He nodded and shooed her away. “Certain! Now go so I can scream in pain. My knee really hurt.” He said, earning a laugh from her.

And he did just that when he lost sight of her when she went down the stairs, still laughing.

Should he be embarrassed ? Or did he handle this pretty well ?

“Oh baby brother, that was so embarrassing.” Kiera confirmed to him, seemingly appearing from nowhere and taking the place previously occupied by Storm. “Even Uncle Natsu would have handled this better.”

He scowled at her, not even bothering to ask if she heard everything. “You couldn’t bury me when I asked, don’t talk to me.”

She frowned at him. “What ?”

“Whatever Kiera!” He said before finally getting out of the forsaken closet and walking to the stairs.

Asuka Babysit Inc. Part 1 (Fairies Heirs)

Master post here !

In which, Asuka is once again victim of this scam called babysitting.

It was supposed to be a quick trip. Enter the guild incognito, say hello to her mother and father who are now retired and lounging daily at the guild to avoid another sermon about being a bad daughter, rip a mission ad from the paperboard, get it approved by an administrator and be out before anyone else noticed her presence.

Asuka Conell repeated the steps in her head as she made her way from Magnolia Market to the guild. It was easy, chances of anything going wrong were slim. It was going to be okay.

So she let herself relax, slowed down her step which had been very stiff and robotic until then and smiled.

In fact, she was just about to buy herself a few pastries to celebrate this beautiful day when a multitude of goosebumps took over her, her body taking note that she was followed before she could register it herself.

“A-SU-KA!” A familiar voice behind her shouted.

She shuddered, not willing to turn around. Maybe if she ignored it and kept walking, she could get out of this. After all, she had the latest generation Crima-Buds on her head and she could claim she did not hear anything. The noise canceling was so good with that one, everyone knew that.

“Yeah, this will work” The girl thought, dropping the pastries and walking away as naturally as she could.

To her utmost disappointment, the person behind, not discouraged in the slightest and not caring a bit that all the attention of the busy market was now on her, continued to shout the Conell daughter’s name.

Asuka was just about to turn the corner and hopefully lose her pursuant when she was stopped in her tracks by another one of them.

He was quite tall, his long blue hair was up in a messy bun as if he had left his home in a hurry and a red birthmark adorned his left eye.

“Asuka!” He said, smiling, almost giggling. But the green-haired girl wasn’t impressed, there was something wicked in that smile. Something that promised her a fate she wouldn’t be able to escape. 

“Don’t you hear us calling you?”

The girl laughed nervously. “What?, no!!”

She pointed to the device on her head and took a few steps back. “You know I can’t hear anything with these on. Noise canceling and all….”

The man advanced as she walked back, his smile getting larger by the minute. “You know, we’ve been waiting for you. You were away for so long.”

Asuka could hear her heartbeat thumping in her head. She had to get away. This couldn’t end like this.

Her eyes spun in their orbits, looking around for an escape, help, or anything really that would get the man and the other pursuant that was closing in on them away from her.

Unfortunately, no escape was found but Asuka realized that she was now surrounded.

At her left, two of them were jogging towards her, the big bags they were holding doing nothing to slow them down. At her right, two women and a long-haired man were also getting close.

Behind, the white-haired woman who first called out her name was walking slowly, waving at her with a big smile on her face. And in front, the smiling man, still smiling at her.

It was so so over. There was nothing to do and nowhere to go. 

Asuka sighed, tears swelling up in her brown eyes and fell to the ground. The last thing she heard was the shrieky voice of a woman yelling. “JELLAL, WHAT DID YOU DO ? SHE CAN’T BABYSIT THE CHILDREN IF SHE’S UNCONSCIOUS!”

—

Asuka had just turned 18 years old when the first grand-child of Fairy Tail was born. She remembered being so delighted at the news. Finally, she would not be the youngest anymore, she would be considered like the adult she was.

Plus, Asuka loved children and had every intention to fight to death to be the chosen one to babysit the heirs.

Until she actually met the said first grand-child and decided that the babysitting career was not for her. Edelweiss Green-Strauss was quite literally the worst person on Earth and that was a known fact since the white-haired baby was two days old.

Asuka still remembers the abnormous amount she spent on food at the guild since Weiss would take a lot of fun in changing hers into rocks everytime Asuka was at the guild at the same time as her. And she would always do it with a smile on her face.

Evil.

Then came along the B. twins. Alisea ? Insufferable. Alistair was her favorite for a reason.

Alisea was somehow worse than Edelweiss.

Weiss was annoying, yes but Alisea was just dangerous to be around. Another chubby white-haired toddler that somehow also had something against Asuka’s meals and would make them float out of Asuka’s reach. 

Also evil.

Then, another child came and Asuka hoped, prayed that this one would be better. Makiva Dreyar ?

Also evil but better than her cousins.It was the best she had, she would have to work with.

Asuka reminisced the days when she had to wrestle with the other members to be the one chosen to babysit her  when her parents would go out on missions. She remembered the one day she won being quite a happy day but now she could only see it as the beginning of her demise.

Because after that day, Mira and Laxus decided that she was the only one capable of babysitting adorable Makiva.

And because Erza could not stand Mira having “the best babysitter ever”, she also decided that the Connell daughter was the only one that could take care of her kids.

And because what is two without another thousand, every single parent in the guild decided that SHE was the only babysitter in the whole city of Magnolia.

Years later, it was still the case.

Sat on the couch of her humble apartment with a pack of ice on her head, she watched and listened as the parents in front of her gave her last minute instructions.

“Seriously Asuka, don’t give him any juice, he will not sleep!” Gajeel insisted.

“He will need help in the bathroom but I SWEAR, he is potty trained” Lucy assured.

“...” Jellal’s smile was all the warning she needed. Asuka knew to expect her roof to be missing by the end of the weekend.

“Thank you again for this, we’ll see you in 2 days.” Juvia concluded.

And just like that, Asuka Connell was now the guardian of Atlas Dragneel, Storm Fullbuster, Kiera and Kaen Redfox, Siegria Scarlet-Fernandes and Gideon Groh-Alberona.. She just hoped that her apartment would still stand at the end of this even if she didn’t.

“Okay kids!” She called them a few hours after their parents ran out of the door, abandoning them to her. Or abandoning her to them, she couldn’t say.  “Time to eat!”

It took less than twenty seconds for the whole group to abandon whatever they were doing in various rooms of the apartment and come sit down at the humble wood cubes that served as dinner table.

She waited for them to settle down before setting their plates in front of them and frowned at the empty chairs. “Guys, where’s Gideon and Atlas ?” 

She took another look around.  Wait, she has six kids, where are the other three? “And Storm too ?”

The three other children glanced at each other, silently arguing whether to tell on their friends.

They seemed to agree on the positive since 7-year-old Kiera Redfox turned to her and sighed. “We don’t know.” 

“But!..” She continued. “ I want you to know I had nothing to do with this. I wasn’t even there!”

“And where were you ?”

The girl frowned at her. “You just lost three kids, where I was should be the least of your priorities”

Asuka thought about jumping the table to strangle her but she settled on asking through gritted teeth. “What do you mean, lost?”

The group glanced at each other again.

This wasn’t going anywhere. The sniper has had more facility getting information from a group of hardened spies.

“Whoever tells me exactly where they are gets ice cream and no curfew for the weekend.”

“Deal, if you add 1000 jewels” Kiera said.

“Sure!” Whatever made them talk. She'll tell them later, she didn’t even have 1000 jewels herself. She was dirt broke and that is the only reason why she accepted to babysit her and also the fact that they cornered her. She needed to put food on the table after all if she survived.

“Atlas and Gideon said they wanted to show us a magic trick.” Kaen started, his fork violently punching through the grilled fish in front on him.

“They said they could teleport candies from that one store in Oka to here, in your bedroom!” Kaen continued very enthusiastically, his mouth full.

“No candies appeared but..” He did a poof motion with his hands. “THEY did disappear and Storm went after them to bring them back.”

Great, she had three kids somewhere in the kingdom of Fiore. Very nice. Very very nice. 

Asuka turned to Kaen and Kiera to ask how exactly Storm went after them but decided against it and instead walked to the other side of the table where Siegria was.

The girl looked like she did not want to be there at all. “Sie, how did Storm go after them ?”

Siegria looked around, seemingly very annoyed at the fact that Asuka was talking to her, looked again at Kiera then sighed. “She said she would get to Oka faster by water so she merged with water and went down your sink”

“It was actually the toilet bowl!” Kiera chimed in, way too happily.

Amazing. Asuka tried to rationalize with herself. There was no need to panic. She would find them easily enough. She was an adult and they were kids, they could not outsmart her. She'll find out where they are in a matter of minutes and get them back here before Kaen finished his plate.

And even if she did really lose them. So what ? Those kids were catastrophes waiting to happen. In fact, the fact that she lost them is a favour she’s doing to the city of Magnolia. Scratch that, to the kingdom of Fiore.

For Mavis’ sake, let’s not forget that Gideon and Atlas took a literal river out of the kingdom map.

She was a hero.

Asuka walked away from the dinner table, deep in thoughts.

“Yeah, I am a hero”. Asuka mumbled to herself as she paced the living room. “and Auntie Lucy will be understanding. Cana might try to kill me but the government will protect me because I just saved the future of Fiore, yes!”

Flashes of a very angry Gray busting through her front door demanding to see his daughter made her shudder in the midst of the spiral. Well, maybe she could try to find Storm.

Kaen Redfox looked at his babysitter worryingly, mouth still full. “She’s spiraling, maybe we should tell them that they’re not really lost." He eyed his sister’s plate. "Are you going to finish that ?”

Kiera wrinkled her nose in disgust but still pushed her untouched plate towards him. “ Absolutely not ! She has to give us more than no curfew and ice cream before we call off the plan.”

She rubbed her hands against each other, a smirk creeping up on her face. “Next step is to tell Suka that Sie..”

“It’s Siegria for you, weirdo” Erza's daughter hissed, her forehead wearing that permanent frown of hers. “ And I never said I agreed to be a part of this.”

Kiera rolled her eyes. “ You’re not, you stuck-up monkey. I am just using your name."

"As I was saying next step is to tell Suka that SIEGRIA..” She sent a pointed look to the girl sitting in front of her. “... can localize them for the modest sum of 3000 jewels that we will share between us."

Her twin looked at her pensively and then looked at Asuka who was now pulling up old maps out of her closet and dialing numbers on her Lacrima Mobile. "I don't know, she looks like she's going to die of stress. Maybe we should just call it off now and enjoy the ice cream."

Kaen took another glance. "Does she know that these maps are outdated ?"

Kiera shrugged. "We'll tell her in a bit. For now, let's just go discreetly make sure the three idiots followed the plan and are actually hiding in the basement."

Siegria's eyes closed and opened suddenly, a strange black hue colouring her pupils. She smirked at the Redfox's daughter. "No need to go down, they're not there anymore."

Finances and Horoscopes (Fairies Heirs)

Masterpost here!

Kiera Redfox moodboard here!

In which Kiera Redfox just needs reassurance. A lot of it.

For as far as she remembered, Lucy Heartfillia-Dragneel’s generation was not one that followed the mantra of “the early bird gets the worm.”

Quite the opposite actually, most of her guild-mates, when they were all younger, would not arrive at the guild before 11am and some would even have the audacity to take a nap upon their arrival at the guild instead of going to work.

In fact, the only time Lucy, who lived so close to the guild that it was embarrassing to arrive after 11am, even considered waking up before 10am was when the first of the month was approaching and she still didn’t have the money for her rent. The need to get a job and earn money suddenly took priority over her twelve hours of sleep knowing that by default of earning said money, her sleep would now take place under the canal.

Now, many many years later, after kids and everything that came with adulthood, any minute of sleep past 5am was considered a win.

Lucy Heartfillia-Dragneel was in her bed, enjoying her sleep when she suddenly found herself awake and confused as to what woke her up.

She hadn’t heard any notable noise and to honestly, after living with her son and her husband for the last decade and so, she could now sleep through a dozen natural catastrophes without any problem.

She  looked at the clock on the other side of the room. 5:09AM. 9 more minutes of sleep than usual.

Unusual but not surprising considering the fact that Natsu was still out on mission with their two kids and that none of would come back before this afternoon. Maybe, she could take advantage of this rare vacation and sneak a few more hours of sleep.

Lucy snuggled again in her bed, feeling content and forgetting the reason for her awakening.

She was drifting back to Dreamland again, when she heard it and recognized it, the sound that woke her up. She thought it was the wind moving the bell that Natsu insisted on keeping as their doorbell. But it was clear as day now. It was the unmistakable cling and clang of someone trying to break in her house through her locked bedroom window. 

The celestial mage awoke instantly again without moving. She didn’t want the intruder to know she was awake yet and waited patiently until he finished fighting with the lock.

She sighed to herself, today would have been such a good day to sleep in if she wasn’t being robbed.

The sudden breeze flowing through the room a few minutes later warned her that the window was now open and the sound of steps told her exactly how close the intruder was to her bed.

Lucy whirled around when the intruder’s foot thudded against her bed frame, throwing her bedding, zodiac keys in hand, ready to fight when she locked eyes with ruby pupils. 

Ruby pupils that belonged to, she realized, none other than Kiera Redfox, her goddaughter.

She was wearing one of her usual flowy long skirts and bright blue rain boots. Her green-blue hair was in two lopsided ponytails that she was sure Levy put great effort in... the day before.

Her outfit was completed by the green bag that seemed to never leave her back.

If Lucy wasn’t in the room when Levy gave birth, she would swear Kiera came out of the womb with it.

The blonde woman sighed, the hand holding the keys dropping to her side. “Kiera, you scared me baby, what are you doing ?” She asked the girl.

The green-haired girl smiled at her, almost sheepishly, her showing missing tooth instantly mellowing any anger Lucy had. “Auntie Lu!” She yelled more than whispered. “You’re awake !”

Lucy chuckled, laying back down in her bed. ”I am now, indeed” She tapped to the empty space beside her. “Get down that window and come here. What are you doing breaking in at such an early time ?.”

As opposed to the afternoon, Lucy wanted to add but she simply smiled at the girl waiting for her to get off the window frame.

Kiera sat down next to her in the bed, suddenly looking very serious. “Auntie Lu. I’m afraid time is of the essence. I need your help and it’s urgent.”

Lucy frowned. “Okay…” She started. “What’s happening ?” The Heartfillia heir kept the panic at bay despite the seriousness in her goddaughter’s voice. Knowing Kiera, it was certainly not that serious. The girl was just always that dramatic.

“It’s supposed to be a secret. Can I trust you ?”

Lucy gasped dramatically at her. “Of course, my love. What is it ?”

Kiera retrieved a notebook from her green backpack and opened it at the last page. Inscribed in the worst writing imaginable was what looked like a contract ? Contract as in there was a single clause and two signatures.

“I have been proposed to participate in a business venture and I need Virgo to tell me my wealth horoscope before I decide if I want to invest in it.” Kiera explained.

”Can you summon her, please ?” The tween asked , her expression solemn.

Lucy could not begin to imagine what type of business venture an 9-year-old could be approached about but she was also looking at Gajeel’s child.

That was enough for her to simply mumble her approval, not ask any follow-up questions and grab her keys to summon her spirit.

Virgo appeared in her usual maid dress and accompanied by the sweet sounds of her chains clanking against each other.

Kiera waved enthusiastically at the spirit. “Hi Miss Virgo! Can you…”

“No.” was the only thing Virgo proposed to the conversation before disappearing in pink smoke, leaving both godmother and granddaughter in disbelief.

Lucy stifled a laugh and did an apologetic shrug. “ I’m sorry Kiera, I think we called her too many times this month. We can try tomorrow if you want.”

“At a later time, it’s early in the spirit world too.” She added quickly.

The Redfox progeniture looked at her pensively. “No need for that. Auntie Lu ?”

“Yes ?”

“I lied when I said I needed Virgo before making a decision.”

“I actually already made the decision to invest and I used Uncle Natsu and Uncle Grey’s bet money to do it.” She continued, seemingly not aware of the mistake she made. “I just needed reassurance that it was indeed a good idea because I don’t think it was.”

Yes, Gajeel’s child alright. Who could do something that will upset both a Dragneel AND Fullbuster other than a Redfox. But no, Lucy did not think it was a good idea either and she was about to say just that in big euphemisms when she suddenly felt her husband approaching their house at quite a fast pace.

Knowing his super dragon ear and assuming he heard the conversation and ALSO considering the fact that he was counting on that money to go on that flying fish trip that Lucy forbade, she turned very calmly towards her goddaughter. “Kiera, let’s bring you home now.”

The Dragneel (Fairies Heirs)

Masterpost here!

Lucy asked Natsu out first (Happy never fails to remind her of that fact) a few months after the gang came back from the 100 years quest;

Do I need to say that Natsu was giggling for the whole day after?

Because Lucy initiated the first date, Natsu made sure he was the one who proposed (he asked Gadjeel and regretted and Gray who had that point were already fiancés. I’ll let you guys imagine the ideas that came out of the brainstorm between the three);

Finally after a discussion (he got mostly yelled at) with Jellal and Luxus, he decided to bring her to Hargeon where they first met and asked for her hand there;

Natsu asked for Aquarius' blessing (because in my dictature, Lucy got the key back) before proposing to Lucy;

Career wise: Natsu became one of the most sought out mage in the kingdom and even overseas while Lucy became a very successful author;

Lucy stopped going on missions when she got pregnant with their first child Ignia a few months after the wedding, and from that point only concentrated on her writing career;

She published three other novels from that point and all of them did pretty well. The guild, of course, organised a book signing event for each of the releases.

Atlas Salamander Dragneel was born in the middle of the guild on a beautiful Thursday afternoon.

After months of following Polyussica's diet for a painless delivery, Lucy realized way too late that the diet worked way too well and she did not realize her water broke nor felt that the baby was coming;

Some would say such an eventful birth is an omen as to how the baby will be and they would be right because Atlas is nothing if not eventful;

For the first ten years of his life, if there was a catastrophic attack on Magnolia's flora, you could bet your house that he had something to do with it. The boy destroyed a mountain when he was barely 6!;

That is when Luxus start to get worried for his hairline;

Natsu is over the moon to have found a partner to accompany him on his bizarre adventures;

Natsu and Atlas are always sparring each other and they're keeping count. It is currently 124-2 for Natsu;

Lucy can't believe that someone who looks so much like her can be so different from her. Atlas cannot sit AT ALL and for the longest time, the parents had to team up with the city's authorities to give him a simplet haircut;

He's a very volatile person and he hates staying in the same place for a long time;

Him and Gideon are actually dangers to society;

Atlas is also very impulsive and also kinda have a saviour complex; He is always the one to come to help to another being, which is not bad but sometime he does it without thinking much about himself or the people who care about him;

He is very charismatic which is such a bad combo with his eclectic personality. He gets away with a lot such as the fact that he is a player;

Lucy and Natsu agree to let him leave on a two years long mission with Gildarts and Gideon when he turns 15;

The princess of the family! You can get a real-life target on your back if you even mispronounce her name;

After the nightmare that Atlas was, Lucy was so happy to have such a calm baby. Natsu is just really happy because Iggy is a carbon copy of him;

Happy's running joke is to look at Iggy and say something along the lines of "Oh my god Natsu, your hair grew so much";

Iggy grew with an overbearing dad, a very protective mom and a brother who was way too much into her business, that being said the rebellion period was to be expected;

It didn't last too long (Natsu thank the skies every day), she hates being in trouble too much. She mostly sulks when she's upset now;

She is best friends and teammates with Kairo Redfox and Silo Fullbuster;

Because both boys are very prone to partake in activities that result in broken bones and skulls, she has been tasked by Juvia and Levy to chaperone them at all times;

She is very responsible and a person you can count on always;

Whenever her parents leave for a mission or book tour, they very specifically put her in charge of her older brother;

[mochidom]

The Mikazuchi (Fairies Heirs)

Masterpost here!

Both the children of Kagura were adopted. She has dedicated her life to Mermaid Heel and then later her kids and she just never saw the purpose of a long relationship, a marriage even less;

In X80X, as Kagura was on a mission following the traces of a new prominent dark guild, she stumbled upon a burnt village in ruins; As she was about to leave, she heard cries and followed the sound, and they lead to a toddler and a baby in nursery;

Her initial plan was to save the babies and bring them to the orphanage, but the journey changed her mind. Taking care of them for the three days from Deimos to Margaret City unveiled a maternal spirit in her she did not think she had. She ended up keeping them when she realized they were all crying when the lady of the orphanage wanted to separate them. She adopted them formally a few months later;

The toddler who was not older than 3 when she found him was a little boy with dark hair just like hers. She had found him hugging tightly the other baby, trying to protect her the best he could;

Kagura named him Malachi Simon Mikazuchi after her brother who just like Mal had tried to protect her;

Malachi is very calm and logical. A very talented mage and even better tactician. He is very plan-oriented and will not do anything out of spontaneity;

100% introverted, speaking to anyone that is not in his close circle is basically a death sentence for him;

Also, whenever people talk to him, they think he is being facetious or even sarcastic but no most of the time, he is dead serious;

Kagura is the exact definition of Mama bear. She forced him to wear a Lacrima-camera for the duration of his first mission and she was also watching the live feed sitting on a tree on the literal location of the mission;

They’re very close to each other and there’s not a thing Mal would not tell his mother.

When he grew up old enough to wield his magic correctly and commit to a guild, Kagura decided to let him reluctantly go to Crime Sorciere and entrusted his care and training to Jellal. (Mermaid Heel being a women's guild only, Kagura as headmaster could not let him join the guild. Mal is still an honorary member and everyone there considers him a nephew.)

Even though he lived in Magnolia with the Scarlet-Fernandes when he was younger and now in an apartment with his roommate Hayeis Cobra, Mal makes it a point to go visit his mother whenever he can;

Him and Minaelle are blood siblings and seeing the hardships they both went through, it's not surprising that they are very close;

*His birthday is not exactly accurate so it was decided that the day of his adoption would be his birthday.

Erza always say that Minaelle stole Kagura's looks and personality to a point, Kagura might as well birthed her;

Minaelle takes a lot of pride in that comment because in her eyes, no one is better than her mother. The girl almost idolizes Kagura;

Just like her brother, she is very introverted, maybe a bit more than him;

She is a perfectionist and strives to be the perfect swordsman. Kagura offered to her a katana named Raiak when she was 10 years old and she never leaves the house without it;

So so so diligent, she trains exactly 3 hours a day without fail and has a routine that she respects dutifully;

Kagura, sometimes worry about the fact that she is so serious and won't make a lot of friends but that worry is quickly forgotten when Minaelle makes besties with Siegria Scarlet-Fernandes;

Siegria is an anarchist but Mina thinks she is cool and just happily follows her around;

Her nickname is Minnie but only Siegria, Siam, her mom, brother and maybe Erza and Minerva occasionally are allowed to call her that;

Kagura is over the moon that hers, Ezra's and Minerva's children get along so well;

Any other guild than Mermaid Heel was never an option for her;

*birthday is not exactly accurate but based on the doctor’s examination, she couldn’t have been born more than three days before Kagura found her September 8th;

The Orland-Chenney (Fairies Heirs)

Masterpost here!

When Yukino and Sting started dating, they with the help of Lector and Frosh took great pleasure taunting Rogue about his obvious crush on Minerva;

It took months before the man finally admitted it to himself and another few months before actually asking Minerva out.

The dragon twins weddings took place during the same week (on different days) and they both cried at each other wedding.

(Minerva proposed that a third reception be organized to legalize their bromance. Sting was absolutely for it, Rogue did not think it was funny);

Because of the experiences on Minerva body during the Tartaros battle, they had to try multiple times before finally welcoming their baby girl;

Siam is the result of the old tale of shy and introvert people give birth to extrovert and bubbly child;

The girl is actually such a sweetheart. She is overly nice to people and her kindness is sometimes taken advantage of;

When she was younger, she had heard the stories about her maternal grandad being basically a dictator and her mother who was on the dark side for a moment and it is something that has affected her behaviour and personality towards others;

She always dresses in black and wears heavy dark makeup which is such a contrast with her personality;

She loves animals and convinced her dad to let her adopt Smitie who is a full grown-black tiger. Like full size tiger. Rogue is scared of him and Minerva is stuck taking care of him when Siam is away at school;

The Orland-Chenney are very close. Probably the closest family;

They eat together every evening and Siam is unable to go to sleep if she has not talked to both her parents that day;

Her best friends are Sie Scarlet-Fernandes and Solea Eucliffe;

Because their mother are besties, she is also very close with Malachi Mikazuchi;

The three of them are very protective of her and will threaten you with great violence if you ever try to hurt her;

[mochidom]

The Eucliffe (Fairies Heirs)

Masterpost here!

Sting, with all his confidence, did not wait long before asking Yukino on a date a few months after their return to Fiore after the war but he also did not expect her to say no (only because she didn't think it was serious).

So from that point, Sting took it upon himself to prove to her that he was already in love with her and that the date was really just a formality. In fact, he was ready to propose to her already;

Despite all that talk, they did date for about three years before getting married and they had their daughter not long after that;

Even years after their wedding, Sting never fails to bring up the fact that he had chase after her for years (three weeks), beg on his knees (he tripped and fell while talking to her) and cry (he has allergies and they were in a flower field) before she finally gave him a chance;

Soleah has lived her entire life witnessing her father absolutely cherishing the ground her mother walks on so she has a very clear image of how she wants to be treated;

She does not tolerate bullshit and is very straightforward in everything she does;

She is the mother hen of her friend group and will go to lengths to protect her friends, especially Siam and the people she loves;

She is very close with Atlas Dragneel but in a very sibling-y type of way;

Soleah is very confident in her person and her abilities, so much so that she may sometimes come across as arrogant much like her own father when he was younger;

She does not care much about what other people think of her but she is conscious that being the daughter of the Master of Sabertooth, she has to act a certain way;

She sometimes hides behind that fact as a reason to not do things she want to do and would do if she wasn't terrified;

So easily irritated! She goes from 0 to 200 so fast, it's actually scary to witness. The members of Sabertooth and her dad learn to steer clear of her whenever she has that look in her eyes;

She is very close to her parents and spend a lot of time with them;

She is also very close to her auntie Minerva, whom she admires a lot;

She and Siam have been best friends since the beginning of time just like Sting and Rogue;

Because of that, the two dads were responsible for playdates and training sessions with the girls;
