#Consider: Them

[icemde]

AU VERSE INFO. THE BLACK SCALED LAMIA.

GONE. NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIED. THEY'RE GONE AGAIN. It was almost a joke to him at this point, that no matter how much he loves and tries to protect them, he's bound to loose his family. Bound to be alone and without the ones he loves by his side. It happened again, and to the hands of demons once again.

FAIRY TAIL HAS DISBANDED.

LOST. IT WAS THE ONLY WORD HE COULD FIND AT THIS TIME. What was one to do when everything you have ever known was gone. He knew his old habits, and as much as he'd love to say he has grown past them, there was something so deep within him that knew that no matter how much he grew, how much he thought he had moved on, he will forever be that scared little boy who lost his entire world in a single night.

HE RAN. RAN FROM THOSE WHO STAYED. RAN FROM HIS PRESENT. RAN TO HIS PAST. It all happened so fast that he wasn't even aware he ended up in Margaret Town, in front of the only family he had left. In front of the one link that remained from his past, ever present and steadfast.

HE WAS THANKFUL FOR LYON. THE COMFORT AND FAMILIARITY HE BROUGHT. They would never lie and say they were the closest, but their bond was always there, and Lyon's willingness to home Gray and stay with him while he processed the loss of another family was something the younger Ice Mage could never thank the other for.

IT HAD BEEN ALMOST TWO MONTHS WHEN THE QUESTION WAS ASKED.

"Why don't you join Lamia Scale?"

──────────────────

1 YEAR TIME SKIP AU: Instead of Gray heading back to Isvan post Tartarous, Gray is around long enough to hear the news of Fairy Tail's disbandment first hand. The news absolutely shatters Gray, thinking he's loosing his family all over again, and in a moment of panic and fear ends up fleeing Magnolia and the rest of his guild mates, not wanting to see them leave. He eventually ends up with Lyon in Margaret Town, where the older Ice Mage houses Gray and helps him through processing Fairy Tai'ls disbandment.

After a few months of Gray living with Lyon and accompanying him on the odd jobs, Lyon puts out the suggestion of Gray joining Lamia Scale. Gray is extremely hesitant about this at first, thinking that he'd be moving on from Fairy Tail far too soon, but Lyon continues to be a voice of reason for Gray, reminding him that he does still need to make a living and have a life, as well as Wendy's joining of the guild.

Eventually, Gray does take up Lyon's offer. He's very stand offish from the rest of the guild, choosing only to really interact with those he knows ( Primarily, Lyon and Wendy ) due to his resurfacing trauma thanks to Fairy Tails disbandment. When Natsu and Lucy start going around to reform Fairy Tail, Gray is extremely stand-offish towards them, and almost seems like he's against the idea of the guild reforming. It once again takes Lyon talking some sense into Gray for him to finally reopen himself up to the two and go with them to collect the rest of the guild.

NOTE: Because of Gray joining a Legal Guild and actively partaking in jobs, the events of the Avatar and Gray joining Avatar Do Not Happen in this au.

BABE WAKE UP THEY ARE GIVING THE ENDERMAN A BOYFRIEND

Lae'zel's character and her entire situation at the beginning of the game becomes so much more funny when you find out she's 22. It makes so much sense. Imagine you're 22 and you're exposed to this dangerous toxin or chemical or something - but not to worry, you learnt that this can be easily fixed, you just need to dial 911 real quick. Common knowledge. Everyone knows that. You learnt that in kindergarten, it's up there with fire alarm drills.

But the people you're stuck with have no concept of modern medicine and when you say "let's go to the hospital" they will say shit like "i think they kill people at the hospital" and "we should ask this swamp lady" or "this guy over there told me about this homoeopathic healer kind of guy but he got abducted" or "this random bard wants to help" and "I'm not going to dial 911 because I don't want the government to know my home address" or "maybe we should consider a deal with Satan". And then a bunch of them KEEP consuming the chemical because it makes them "stronger". One guy might explode for unrelated reasons. You have a few days before this situation is getting critical and suddenly they're solving crime and doing general charity for the community.

And FOR SOME REASON you still try to help these idiots and you STILL want to help them get the cure even though they all keep insisting the "doctors" at the "hospital" might try to "kill them" and they don't have insurance. And you keep telling them to just. go. to. the. hospital. before the time runs out and you all die very horribly of a very treatable condition.

And also you're 22 in a foreign country and you're responsible for shepherding this gaggle of idiots who are all ranging anywhere from 24 to 240 years old.

There's some dude (derogatory) on FB who is PISSED people are pricing their farm fresh eggs at $2 and $3 a dozen instead of $4+, saying it's "disrespectful" and "undignified" and "I'm trying to feed my kids" like Sir, you are on a Facebook group page bitching about your neighbors egg prices because your pet chickens aren't earning you a living wage and you think it's your neighbors' fault, you do not have a leg to stand on here wrt dignity.

Also half the answers are like "I give them to friends and family free" or "I donate them to food banks" or "I'm making them affordable to folks who might not otherwise be able to get them now that they're so expensive in the store" and "if you think you're going to turn a profit keeping backyard chickens you have been wildly misled" and so on, and so forth, and I'm so living for it.

and I can tell you right now, he did NOT like my answer of "if you're trying to feed your kids, I hear eggs are edible."

Good detectives do what they need to in order to solve a case. 💀🔎✨

when will we talk about the willful helplessness epidemic on here. So many people on this god forsaken website demand to have any and all things that exist outside their personal experiences directly, personally pre-chewed and spoonfed to them. And when you do, they'll then ask for you to swallow for them, too, because, you see, in THEIR experience..,

Has anyone seen/written any fics where Danny is so used to being an overpowered menace that danger doesn't even register the same for him anymore. Like he's gone against the likes of undergrowth and vortex, he's obviously not going to be intimidated by a middle aged man with sweaty hands pointing a gun at him.

It's all fine until he leaves Amity and starts being put in mildly dangerous situations that don't bother him at all but everyone around him looks super freaked out? And it can range from like being mugged or one of the DC superheroes facing one of their supervillains while all the civilians run away and Danny just keeps going full on ignoring cause not his circus, not his monkeys, but still.

And then he realizes that his reaction is abnormal and people are starting to stare and he doesn't need the extra attention on him but knows he can't act for shit so he just goes for the most deadpan sarcasm he can muster and goes all "oh, nooooo. This is so bad. I am SO scared." And it just makes the stares worse but by then he's committed to the bit and will throw gradually more concerning stuff about his past in conversations with the most dead expression just to see how far he can take it until someone confronts him about it.
