[ftlgbtales]

Two weeks to go!

Once Upon a Time...

Do you like fairy tales but find yourself wishing they weren't always so hetero-normative?

You're not alone. That's why we feel it's time to shake things up a bit and give some of these stories an LGBT+ update.

And that's exactly what this event is looking to do! This summer we invite you to re-imagine a classic story, or come up with one all your own, starring Fairy Tail characters!

Event Information

Dates: August 23 - August 26

Submissions: Anything that inspires you - art, fics of any length, poetry, aesthetics, edits, head canons, etc.. Both ship and platonic entries are welcome. The most important aspect is that the piece focus on an LGBT+ character(s).

Prompts: We've chosen two different tropes for each day from here that we thought might be fun, but you are welcome to pick others if they inspire you more!

Day 1 (Friday): Cursed ✦ True Love's Kiss

Day 2 (Saturday): Other Dimension ✦ Impossible Quest

Day 3 (Sunday): Abandoned Child ✦ Surprise Royalty

Day 4 (Monday): Forbidden Love ✦ (Un)Happily Ever After

Event Tag: Use the tag FTOUAT in your first five so that we can see it!

General Rules: No character bashing, pedophilia or incest, all content must be previously unpublished and original to the blog posting it. Tag all content appropriately for triggers.

If you have questions, send us an ask!

We love getting likes, but we'd appreciate it even more if you could reblog this post to help us get the word out!

love, at once

inspired by @femslashfairies day 7 and day 11 prompt (song + mystical)

words: 6k

relationships: lisanna strauss/lucy heartfilia

summary: Lisanna first met Lucy by a brook on a hot spring day. Cue a fairy tale love beginning. -- a sleeping beauty!au with lisanna/lucy. for femslash february 2022.

It was an unusually hot spring day, when Lisanna first heard that beautiful voice. It sang an enchanting melody with lyrics Lisanna swore she knew, but could not place.

I know you, the voice sang. I walked with you, once upon a dream. Was the owner’s voice a fairy? That must be why Lisanna’s heart beat so madly, why she wanted to find the owner of the voice and – something, do something, anything. She didn’t know.

I know you, the voice sang again. The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam. Lisanna decided. She stepped carefully away from the brook, tying her horse’s bridle to a nearby tree branch. Offhandedly, she noticed that her riding cloak was gone from where she had hung it. Joking to herself, she thought that maybe the voice stole it.

She followed the sound of the melody until she came across a clearing. In the clearing, there was no fae. Just a girl, singing and dancing.

Slash September 2020 Prompt: Mermaid Pairing: Gray x Natsu AO3

For @watcher-ofthe-sky​

Summary:  Gray is an Arctic merman, a species known for luring humans to their death with their potent song. He leaves his homeland hoping to change his fate and somehow turn his tune from one of death to one of love.

0-0

The sun had begun to set when Gray finally found Natsu sitting at his favorite spot, a rock that sat close enough to a sandy beach to let him observe without being spotted.

It was something he’d never understood about his friend. Most merfolk disliked humans, taking great pleasure in luring them to their deaths, but not Natsu. He was fascinated by them. The way they walked on two feet and were able to move on land and water. The colorful outfits they wore to cover themselves and the tools they created to make their lives easier.

It filled Gray with a gnawing fear that one day Natsu would figure out a way to join them and leave him behind. So he did the best he could to keep him by his side, searching for colorful trinkets in the many shipwrecks that were scattered along the ocean floor, waiting breathlessly for that moment when Natsu’s eyes would light up in wonder as he tried to figure out what it was used for. Basking in the beaming smile he would receive in thanks for his efforts.

Gray wasn’t sure when Natsu had become such a big part of his life. All he knew was that the merman’s constant chatter filled his world with color in a way nothing else ever had. He pulled himself up to the rock sitting as close to Natsu as he dared, and watched the sun’s descent while stealing glances at his friend.

In this light, Natsu’s beauty always left Gray feeling breathless. The reds, oranges, and pinks that decorated his tail and hair were softened by the warm glow of the sun’s last rays, making him look just like a sunset, one that Gray thought might burn him if he ever dared to touch.

He felt drab in comparison, his tail an uninteresting combination of blues and teals, meant for blending in with the darker colors of the Arctic rather than the warmer waters he’d chosen years ago.

“So,” Natsu welcomed him, rubbing his hands in anticipation and studying Gray with a mischievous grin, “What do you have for me today?”

“Who says I brought you anything?” Gray grumbled, glancing at the beach and noticing couples huddling near a large bonfire as they watched the sunset.

“You always do,” Natsu teased, leaning back on his hands and turning his attention back to the beach, as his tail swished around lazily.

“I was going to,” Gray admitted grudgingly, “but the sharks were out today.”

Natsu turned his head, examining him closely for any injuries, relaxing when he didn’t find any, “I guess you’ll just have to sing for me then.”

Gray rolled his eyes at the request. Singing was not something he’d done much of for a long time, memories of his former life in the Arctic a glaring reminder of just how dangerous his call could be. He’d enjoyed it once though, and in a moment of weakness, he’d found a secluded spot and allowed himself one song. It was there that Natsu had found him, drawn by the sound of his voice. Since that day, Natsu had hounded him to sing for him again any time he could.

Gray never had. Even though he was sure he could keep Natsu with him if he did.

“Do you ever wish that you could live on land with them?” Gray looked down at the water, not wanting Natsu to realize how anxious he was about his answer.

“Why would I ever want to do that?” Natsu moved his hand, placing it on top of Gray’s and squeezing gently, “When everything I could ever want is right here?”

“Wh-what?” Gray could feel his ears burning, but he looked up anyway, stunned by Natsu’s confession. He could hear Natsu laugh at his dumbfounded expression, but he couldn’t come up with an appropriate retort.

“You heard me,” Natsu’s mouth curved into a serene smile before jumping into the water, gently pulling Gray by the hand to join him.

Gray submerged after Natsu, heart racing in his chest as he thought about what those words meant.

“Sing to me?” Natsu asked once again, putting his free arm around Gray’s waist and looking up at him with pleading eyes.

Gray laughed at Natsu’s antics but gave in nonetheless, too happy about what was happening between them to give him a hard time. He wrapped his arm around Natsu’s shoulders, pulling him into his chest and moving them in the water in a sort of dance. He sang to his newly revealed lover, pouring all of his heart into the words, and pressing the last one onto lips he’d often dreamed of kissing.

Gray lost track of how long they held on to each other this way, their tails swaying together to a rhythm all their own. But as the water darkened all around them, he knew that Natsu had been right. Everything he’d ever wanted was right here too.
