#ash x erza x natsu x gray

[officiallyashley]

Strange Behavior (. fairy tail .)

SUMMARY: Natsu and Happy find it weird that Ashley is avoiding alcohol. 

NOTES: this actually may be more of a drabble than a oneshot but whatevs 🤷🏻‍♀️. i’m really tired rn, so this may not be my best lol. apologies, if that’s the case! this is also one of my older works, but nonetheless, i hope you enjoy it! also, if you remember or if you just don't know, my oc is in a poly relationship with natsu, gray, and erza.

WARNINGS: mentions of pregnancy, mentions of alcohol. 

{~~~}

“YOU’RE AVOIDING ALCOHOL?!” 

Natsu and Happy almost couldn’t believe it. Ashley Fayn Reverie was refusing alcohol. While responsible with her adult beverages, this woman loved alcohol and frequently had glasses of wine every other day. The pink-haired male and his blue cat companion blinked in shock. That was a sentence they weren’t expecting to come out of Ash’s mouth. 

“Yes, I’m avoiding alcohol. What’s the big deal?” Ash questioned nonchalantly. The guild master shrugged their shoulders. 

“It’s just odd that you’re cutting out alcohol,” Natsu stated.

“Aye, sir! I agree!” Happy agreed with Natsu.

“I just don’t want alcohol. There’s nothing more to it.” Ash said, pulling her ash-blonde hair up in a high ponytail. Despite what they had said, there was definitely more to why they made the decision to take a break from alcohol. A huge break from alcoholic beverages. Ashley was… scared of what her lovers would say if they found out. 

Natsu and Happy had a look of scrutiny on their faces. It was like they didn’t believe what Ash was saying. Which they didn’t. “Hmmm…” Natsu and Happy hummed in unison. 

Ash raised a brow as they tightened their ponytail. “What?” They inquired putting their hands on their hips. 

“I thought you’d want to celebrate us finishing our job with some wine and chocolate.” Natsu pointed out. 

Ash didn’t know what to say at first, so their response was slightly delayed. “Um, just… not this time.” Ash yawned, the fatigue that she has been feeling for the past few days starting to really hit her hard. “I’m gonna go lay down. I’m really tired.” Without another word, the ash-blonde went to her and Natsu’s bedroom for the night. 

{~~~}

Later that night, Ash had been woken up by a sudden wave of nausea in the middle of the night. She glanced tiredly at the clock on the nightstand. 3:20 AM. Ash broke out of Natsu’s embrace he had around her waist, slowly and silently making her way out of bed. Every time she moved, another wave of nausea would hit harder, making her head spin and her stomach churn. 

Ash clasped her hand over her mouth. They felt the bile start to creep up their throat, saliva gathering in their mouth. Ash rushed out of bed, slamming the bathroom door open and rushing to the toilet. They didn’t even bother turning the lights on. Ash started throwing up into the toilet, her eyes watering and tears falling out and dropping into the toilet. 

The bathroom lights were flipped on. She felt someone start to rub circles on her back as she threw up. It was Natsu, who knelt down beside her. There was concern written in his features. “Hey, it’s okay. I’m here.” Natsu comforted his girlfriend as she continued puking up her dinner from the previous night. 

When there was a break where Ash felt they weren’t going to puke their guts out, they grabbed the washcloth that was resting on the sink. Wiping their mouth, Ash leaned away from the toilet. There was a silence that filled the air, and the atmosphere was growing slightly tenser with every passing second. That was until Natsu decided to speak up. 

“Ash, you’ve been acting strange.” Natsu pointed out. His voice was in a whisper, considering the fact that Happy was asleep on the small chair in their room. 

Ash stayed silent. They didn’t respond at first. What were they supposed to say?  No matter what they said, or how they phrased the next sentence to leave their mouth, it didn’t make it any less terrifying. The ash-blonde’s words were stuck in her throat. 

“Ashley, I need you to talk to me,” Natsu stated, attempting to make eye contact with his partner. Ash, however, averted her gaze. No one ever called her ‘Ashley’ in passing. The only time Ash was being addressed as ‘Ashley’ was in serious moments. Natsu was being serious, and Ash knew that by more than just the tone of his voice. 

That’s when her hormones got the best of her. Ashley just started crying. It wasn’t in Ash’s character to be this emotional, so the ash-blonde immediately bursting out into tears definitely alarmed the pinkette mage. She sobbed while leaning on the toilet, hot tears streaming down her face. “I’m pregnant…” They muttered. 

Natsu blinked. He was stunned into silence, and by the looks of it, Ash took her lover’s silence the wrong way. “Oh, god, I knew it! You’re not happy or excited, are you?!” Ash wailed out heartbrokenly. She couldn’t stop the tears from flowing out of her eyes. 

Natsu’s eyes widened. He knelt down to Ash’s level, and he put his forehead to hers. “Ashley, this is the best moment of my life,” Natsu whispered comfortingly, grinning widely. 

Ash didn’t know what else to do other than hug Natsu, who hugged her back. Her tears of anxiety and worry became tears of happiness and relief. Natsu kissed the ash-blonde’s forehead. “Wait until we tell Gray and Erza and the rest of the Guild!” Natsu beamed gleefully. 

“They’ll… They’ll be so happy!” Ash cried, her tears continuing to flow from her eyes and down her cheeks. Words couldn’t even begin to describe how elated and exhilarated the couple was. Natsu wiped Ash’s tears away from her cheeks.  

“Ashley Fayn Reverie, I love you so much. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be parents.” Natsu commented, engulfing his girlfriend in a tight hug once again. 

“Natsu…” Ash blinked back tears, hugging the Fire Dragon Slayer just as tight as he was embracing her.  

“Cheer up, babe! We’re having a baby!” Natsu beamed. He started giving kisses to Ash’s neck and down to her shoulder. 

“I’m just… I’m just relieved that you didn’t get mad or upset…” Ash mumbled as they pulled away from the embrace. 

Natsu wiped the guild master’s remaining tears away. “I would never ever be upset at something as amazing as you having my kid.” The Fire Dragon Slayer said, pressing his lips gently to her forehead. “Do you need anything before we go back to bed, babe?” 

Ashley shook their head. They both stood up from the bathroom floor, and Ashley reached over to the toilet handle and pressed down on it to flush the toilet. “I’m fine. I just want to go to bed honestly. Before I go back to bed, though, I need to brush my teeth.” Ash responded, her voice becoming more steady in tone. 

“Alright, babe! If you need anything, let me know! I’ll be waiting for you in bed.” Natsu said, pulling her in for one last kiss on her temple before leaving the bathroom. 

After Ash finished brushing her teeth, she eagerly climbed back into bed with her loving and excitable boyfriend. Natsu wrapped his arms around their waist, pulling them closer to him. Ash’s back was up against Natsu’s chest, and the spiky-haired mage buried his face in their shoulder. Now, Ash knew that she didn’t have to worry. She could fall asleep in her lover’s arms knowing everything was going to be okay.

[When Fairy’s Meet Toons]

Fairy Tail X Animaniacs AU]

Chapter 3: The Union of Villians

Vlad: "These fools think they stand a chance against us."

Aku: "I don't know but I'm insulted that they aren't shivering in fear right about NOW!!!."

Aku shape-shifts into a giant dragon and heads straight to the Warner Siblings.

Yakko: "A dragon huh?"

Yakko: "Hey Natsu how's about you take this one while we deal with Casper over there."

Natsu: "No way he's a dragon too?"

Aku: "I can be whatever your little feeble mind can comprehend."

Erza: "Sounds like an extreme version of taking over magic."

Natsu: "We'll whatever you are, prepare to burn down into a pile of ashes."

Natsu: "FIRE DRAGON BRILLIANT FLAME!!!!"

Aku teleports away in a blink of an eye and his body slams Natsu into the ground.

Lucy and Happy: "NATSU!!!"

Gray: "I'm tired of this will we or won't we crap we're not leaving here without some answers right guys."

Everyone agrees and they stay to fight to see if they could gather any more crucial information from these higher-ups that seem to know more than they let on.

Gray: "Alright Juvia like we practiced."

Juvia: "I'm ready when you are."

Gray: "Alright then, ICE MAKE GEYSER!!!"

Juvia: "WATER NEBULAE!!!."

The duo attacked straight at Aku but got canceled out by Ozai using the Natsu attack to cancel out their attack.

Gray: He used Natsu fire to cancel our attack.

Aku: I thought you weren't so keen on our attack, glad you came around.

Ozai: This has taken far too long, we need to go back to headquarters, and if it means deposing some wizards along the way, so be it.

Natsu: You don't scare me.

Natsu: FIRE DRAGON ROAR!!!!

Aku: You insolent fool don't you know who he is?

Aku: "That's Ozai the Fire Lord!!!"

Ozai Effortlessly changes Natsu's attack and changes its direction where Gray and the rest are.

Erza: Get down!!!

Erza: NOW REQUIP!!!

Erza: ADAMANTINE ARMOR!!!

Erza blocks the giant fireball that got more powerful and hotter as it was at the beginning.

Natsu: Dammit!!!

Aku: Now do you realize how hopeless you are?

Aku: Hell if you just hand them over, we might let a few of you live.

Lucy: If you think we're just going to hand them over to you, you got another coming.

Wendy: Yeah because you just made an enemy of Fairy Tail!!!

Aku: This is going to be fun.

Erza: Natsu, Gray, Wendy, Juvia, Happy, and Carla you take care of Aku while I take care of Ozai.

Natsu: What?!?!, that's crazy, let me help you.

Erza: No I can't let you face him, he is an excellent fire user and your fire will just empower him since he's able to use your fire to his advantage effortlessly and make it 10 times stronger.

Erza: Don't worry I'll make sure to get some answers out of him.

Erza requips into her flame empress armor and charges at Ozai as everyone else focuses their attention on Aku.

Yakko: Now that that's settled let's teach this ghostly looking fellow never to mess with a toon.

Vlad: "Alright you little pests prepare to be neutralized."

Vlad turns invisible as he tries to capture the siblings in one quick swipe.

Dot: "About that whole neutralized thing, why do you guys want to capture us exactly?"

Vlad: "You toons are far too powerful to be left roaming around without being checked."

Vlad: I mean you toons can be burnt, zapped, sliced, and blown up yet you're still able to get up without a scratch.

Vlad: So we took it upon ourselves to round up your kind and take your amazing power for ourselves."

Vlad: Thus enhancing our abilities so we can wreak havoc on not just this world but throughout the whole multiverse."

Yakko: Sounds like your typical taking over the world plan to me just with a lot more steps."

Vlad: "Indeed there are a lot of moving parts for our plan to become a reality and I won't let a couple of kids ruin it."

Vlad: Take this GHOST STINGER!!!

Vlad sends out ecto-energy only for the Warner siblings to dodge it and retaliate with a classic anvil to the head; however, it just goes through him since he's in his ghost form.

Yakko: Oh right he's a ghost.

Dot: Yup which means our usual slapstick antics won't be any help here.

Yakko: Looks like we'll have to rely on our good old noggin for this one.

After failing to land a hit on the siblings despite him being invisible he decides to try and possess one of them.

Vlad: Aha!!

Vlad: Your body is under my command now!!!

Vlad possesses Wakkos's body but that ends up backfiring real quick.

Vlad: Now let's see what you toons are made of.

Vlad desperately tries to do anything with his newfound body but he can't seem to do anything crazy other than throwing weak punches.

Yakko: What's wrong Vlad can't seem to figure out what makes us so great?

Dot: If you ask me you should probably just give up since as you can see we're not so special after all.

Vlad: What's wrong with this body, don't you have anything useful to defend yourself with?"

Wakko "Of course I do."

Wakko says as he makes his way into the battlefield after taking a break to go to the bathroom.

Vlad: Wait if that's you then who is this?!?!

Wakko: Oh that's Steve, thanks for covering for me Steve, I could always count on you."

Vlad leaves Steves's body and is now extremely angry after being tricked.

Steve: "No problem Wakko, always happy to help."

Yakko: ''Wow that stunt double you hired came in clutch their Wakko."

Wakko: That's our Steve.

Vlad: Enough!!!!

Vlad: I had enough of you three!!!"

Yakko: Sorry to tell you this but we're not done with you yet."

Dot: Yeah we still need to know who is the one who started this whole thing because I can't imagine you and your circus freaks over there are calling the shots.

Wakko: Also you still haven't mentioned how you plan to extract our powers and use them for yourselves.

Vlad: Don't worry about that, you three will get an up-close view on how we plan to do just that when you're captured."

Yakko: Well then I guess we'll never know.

Dot: I don't know about you Yakko but I don't think this dufus is going to give us any more information.

Yakko: Yeah I don't think so too so let's just wrap this thing up shall we.

Yakko: Wakko will you do the honors.

Wakko: On it

Wakko proceeds to look through his bag and pulls out a vacuum cleaner.

Yakko: Alright Wakko let it rip.

Wakko: Oh mister Vlad I have a surprise for you,

Vlad: You think a measly vacuum could save you from my wra-

Vlad: Wait what's happening....

Vlad: No, I refuse to be beaten this way.

Vlad: Nooooooo!!!!

Yakko: word from the wise Vlad, you talk too much

Vlad: This can't be, why can't I get out?!?!?

Yakko: Well you see the battle between ghost and vacuums go way back when a brave Italian man decided to go against all the odds and save his fellow Italian brother from an evil ghost thus leading him to encounter this mad scientist that taught him the ways of the vacuum and how it's a sure way to deal with ghosts.

Dot: It works the same due to our cartoon logic but for the sake of the reference that's why.

Yakko: Alright sibs that's one down and two to go.

As the Warner siblings wrap up their fight against Vlad, Natsu and his team fight off Aku as they try to get some answers out of him as well.

Natsu: What's up with you and your buddy over there, why are you so determined to capture them?

Aku: The real question is why are you so hell-bent on protecting them?

Aku: If I'm not mistaken they currently have a bounty on them, isn't that right?

Aku: Straight from the top dogs in your world.

Natsu: You're new from around here so let me fill you in.

Natsu: We aren't known to sit on the sides and let innocent people get hurt.

Natsu: That's just ain't our style.

Lucy: Plus they did nothing wrong, they were just confused and afraid of their new surroundings after you all decided to take them away from their world.

Gray: So if you want to catch them you'll have to go through us first.

Aku: Such a tight bond already despite just meeting them, I can never understand you, humans.

Aku: No matter, I'll just have to kill you all!!!

Aku turns into a giant snake and strikes the group as their battle rages on Erza is having an intense 1v1 with the Fire King Ozai.

Erza: SOARING FIRE BLADE!!!

Ozai stares the blade down as Erza puts all her strength into re-equipping into a different armor since her flame empress armor isn't helping in much in terms of dealing damage.

Ozai: Your power is quite remarkable, but ultimately won't stop us from our ultimate goal.

Erza: How is it that you all collectively decide to go upon this plan?

Erza: I would imagine that you three aren't the only ones behind this operation.

Ozai: Of course not, this was a plan that's been in the making for quite some time now and a lot is on the line here when it comes to each of our motives which is why we won't fail.

Erza: So what do you gain from capturing these so-called toons?

Ozai: They hold power like no other so capturing them and harnessing their problem is essential to make sure our plans go well.

Erza: So they're really that powerful?

Ozai: They might not seem like it but their power exceeds even that of mine.

Ozai: We have recruited some to our side which will help us secure and exterminate any toon or anyone who tries to get in our way.

Erza: Wait, there's more of them?

Ozai: There is but you haven't heard of them since we've been capturing them so swiftly thanks to our allies however some have escaped or are just appearing due to some error in our portals.

Erza: What do you plan to do with them after you successfully transfer their power to you?

Ozai: There'll be no need for them anymore so they'll be executed.

Erza: Bold words from someone who thinks simply transferring one's power no matter who it is will be that easy.

Ozai: While we haven't yet gotten a successful power transfer, we have other ways to make sure they don't get in our way.

Ozai: In fact, let me show you what I mean.

Ozai shoots a giant fireball towards a magic mobile nearby from the groups of wizards that came earlier and outburst out a savage beast with brown fur and a crazy look in his eyes.

Aku: Looks like Ozai decided to bring out the big guns.

Lucy: Huh?

Aku: Yup you guys are dead now.

As the Warner siblings make their way back to the main group they stop dead in their tracks when they see a familiar face.

Yakko: Hey Natsu have you defeated that dragon wannabe yet?

Yakko: Wait, is that....

Yakko, Wakko, and Dot: TAZ?!?!?!?

Taz: RAAAAAA!!!!!

Wendy: Lookout!!!

TAZ jumps out of the fire and heads straight to the Warner siblings.

Yakko: Taz long time no see bud how you been?

Dot: Wait Yakko get out of the way!!!!!

Yakko: Relax sis it's just Taz he's naturally crazy and savage-looking it's his whole thing.

Yakko: I'm sure he's just.....

The savage Taz twists his body and turns himself into a living tornado that directly hits Yakko which sends him flying.

Wakko and Dot: YAKKO!!!!!

They quickly go after him and find him in total shock as he wipes his nose and finds blood dripping from it. With this revelation, Yakko states the following......

Yakko: Sibs we got to go now.....

Yakko: You hear that Natsu we need to run while we still can.

As this once laid-back and witty toon suddenly gets a taste of true fear he feels uncertain if they'll be able to run away in time as Natsu and Wendy pick up Taz's strange smell and realize there's more to this situation than they originally thought.

Authors Notes; At last, it is revealed who these three henchmen are and I bet you know actually who I'm talking about. Honestly, I was very nervous to include them in the story because I haven't written for them at all before and this would be the first time I try writing some dialogue for them. Although I double-checked with a good friend of mine to see how good of a job I did in writing them and he gave it his seal of approval and now where here. Will this spell doom for the Warners or will they find a solution to this problem like they always do? Find out in the next chapter. As always make sure you follow me and don't forget to let me know what you think of my story so far. Hearing you all's thoughts on your enjoyment of my story helps me figure out what is working and what I have to work on more so doing so would help me a lot. Thanks for checking this out and until next time.

Ships! (UPDATED: 7/13/2021)

THere’s my lovely ship list categorized alphabetically by fandom. I have multiships in some of these fandoms, just so you know and if a ship you like isn’t on here, it could just be because I’m not very familiar with the ship but you can still request it if it’s not listed. I’ll let you know if it’s a ship that i just... ehe >~< isn’t my cup of tea and can’t doing anything for you. 

Ships in Bold are my ultimate OTPS. Non bold ships are ships that I still adore but may not love as much as the bold ones, but that’s okay, you can still request XD

NOTE: If you want a ship to change to where it’s trans x trans or cis x trans or anything lgbtq related, I’m fine doing prompts and stuff like that, I’m all for it BUT if you want me to change ships for transphobic/homophobic reasons, I won’t do it. Example, if you want me to change Dazai x Chuuya to cis female Chuuya x Dazai, I won’t do that because that’s kind of homophobic. That also applies to characters who are canonically gay and canonically trans. If you want me to detransition a trans character for a comfort reason or anything like that, I can do that because detransitioning does happen and is 100% valid so I’ll do that but not for any transphobic reasons.

- more like us

Gray and Natsu are stubbornly ignoring their relationship. Erza and Mirajane know the feeling. 

Erza x Mirajane - Gray x Natsu - 9 / 29

for @mdelpin​

Gray had Natsu pinned against the wall, nostrils flaring in anger as the other man grinned, completely unconcerned, daring Gray to a fight. 

“Boys.” Erza snapped, spinning on her stool to glare at them. “Enough. You need to be more like me and Mirajane. We overcame our differences as teenagers.” 

As Gray let Natsu go, the pink-haired man folded his arms stubbornly, jutting out his bottom lip and avoiding looking at Gray. 

“Yeah but you guys are dating. Why would I want that with a frosty stripper?” 

He was saying words which he knew would rile Gray up, bait him into another fight. But Erza had known them for long enough to see the flash of hurt in Gray’s eyes, and the silent apology in Natsu’s. 

“Don’t assume I’d wanna date a loser like you anyway.” Gray spat out, stalking off to the other side of the guild where Lucy watched sheepishly. 

Natsu followed Gray’s movements before spinning on his heel and slamming his fist against a bench, shattering it in a pile of fire and ash. He went to sit with Lisanna, as far away from Gray as possible, and Mirajane sighed dramatically. 

“Do you think they’ll ever admit how they feel?” Erza frowned, and Mirajane kissed out the creases by her eyes and mouth. 

“They’ll be fine, love.” Their foreheads touched, Mirajane’s wrists crossing around Erza’s neck. “We were, after all.” 

"Yeah." Erza smiled.

For many years people assumed that they were a lost cause, and yet now they lived together, were madly in love, and planned to start a family. So much of their relationship could be seen reflected back in how Gray and Natsu treat each other. Erza was determined to help them, to prove that there was no shame in admitting when feelings had changed. It was a complicated and often difficult procedure, but Erza knew that if her and Mirajane could do it then anyone else could as well.

The Draconian Huntress X

Summary: In a time where there is an impending war to come, Lucy sets forth to find the Draconian people in order to shift the tides against the demon King Zeref that threatens to take over Fiore. read on ff.net here

She hadn’t expected the news that came. Though, she didn’t know what she was expecting - what could the answer be of a country that had locked themselves away from the world?

The Draconians had no part in this war. They wouldn’t be fighting for the greater good - their country was selfish, yet loyal to no fault. The Draco people looked out for their own and that was it. Wars that weren’t their own didn’t concern them. And riches? The city was built upon the most precious ores to be found. Lucy thought it would come to grovelling at their knees for a country that had everything, but...

“They what?”

It seemed that every kingdom had a price.

“This can’t be serious,” Gray stated in disbelief, “They’ll only accept to ally with us if Lucy agrees to marry him?”

“Apparently Lucy has been promised to the chosen prince since before she was born…” Wendy mumbled, flinching from Gray’s rising tone.

He turned around from the window, his dark raven hair a mess from its usual cool style. “These creeps planned to marry off a child?” He was close to popping a vein. “No! There has to be other terms we can agree on. One of them nearly ripped Lucy apart just before!”

“This is an agreement between the Heartfilia bloodline and the Draconians for centuries.” Wendy looked down nervously before her eyes met with Lucy’s. “When your Mother took you away she broke that agreement… Their trust has been wounded and they won’t accept any other way to mend it.”

The archer stared down to the marble beneath her feet as she tried to absorb what Wendy relayed from the diplomatic meeting.

To marry the people her Mother ran from? The very thought made her stomach twist with something she couldn’t quite place.

“This isn’t right. Lucy’s mother took her away for a reason! They’re too unpredictable.”

The blonde continued to brood as Gray raged on. His words held truth. The Draconians were dangerous. That was clear the moment she had been pinned to the floor by the very prince that now asked for her hand. Yet, there was something different about him.

Her gut twisted again as she remembered the gazes burning holes into her back as she left the room. The Lieutenant's look of fury that made a steely shiver wrap down her spine. Almost as if he was imagining himself stabbing her through the back in that moment, her presence extinguished before she could infiltrate their kingdom more than she already had. But, the other eyes she felt staring at her backside…

It was a hunger. Not a hunger for blood or lust - for her. It pierced through her skin, straight to her soul. Similar to when his eyes had flashed gold before he had begun to attack her… the feeling unnerved her as it drove her instincts backwards. They told her to lean into him. To not resist him.

Her body reacted in ways she hadn’t felt before, ways she didn’t know it could. It left her confused and angry. Now, she was being asked to take his hand?

There were too many unanswered questions.

“I’m not letting Lucy marry the prince or any one of them.”

Gray placed a hand on Lucy’s shoulder and she looked up at him with hazy eyes. His eyes were slanted in his anger, mouth set into a frown as he spoke.

“War or not. I won’t pawn you off to help our cause. We will find another way.”

“Gray,” Lucy whispered quietly and he shook his head. The winter sprite had few weaknesses, but his family was one of them. He would lay down his life before he saw someone he cared about get hurt. The blonde had witnessed that when she had first met the stubborn boy when he was sixteen. His normally cool gaze turning deadly when she had been injured, or even before when Erza pushed her too much in training. It was his eyes that lingered on her cuts and bruises so fiercely that she knew he hated seeing her hurt.

He treated her too much like a little sister.

“I agree with Gray, Lucy,” Wendy piqued up, but shrank back when both their gazes turned to her. The young girl grabbed her arm as she looked down before turning her eyes back to them. “In that meeting… The way they talked of your mother.” Her brows narrowed as she became set in her resolve. “They definitely knew why she had ran from the kingdom. I don’t believe it’s safe here for us, especially for you.”

Lucy nodded as she stood, the freshly bandaged wound feeling tight around her thigh. Gray hovered over her to steady her shaky legs but she brushed him off. A sigh left her lips as she began to speak, “I know Erza is counting on us to get back to the battlefield-”

“Lucy!”

“Gray, I know she will be proud to fight beside us whether we convince them to follow us or not,” the blonde cut him off, “but we will fail if we don’t have the Draconians joining our side.” Lucy looked both her comrades in the eye. “This I know.”

“I don’t know why my mother ran or why I was even raised here. My childhood… It’s a mystery to me.” Her eyes softened as she continued. “I know you’re both worried and I don’t trust them either, but this is my only option. For the war and for myself.”

The winter sprite turned his face away, his frown deepening with every passing moment. Lucy knew he could not come around easily - she herself wasn’t even completely convinced with her resolve. However, the war looming over them swayed her greatly. Gray would see her reasoning soon enough when he is not blinded by his protective side.

Another sigh left Lucy’s lips before small hands wrapped around her own. Her eyes flickered to meet Wendy’s, the young girl giving her a soft smile.

“I- no, we understand,” she said gently, “Even if we don’t like it we will still support you, Lucy.”

The blonde smiled. “Thank you, Wendy.”

“I’ve got your back no matter what,” Gray grumbled out and both girls looked towards him. His face was still set in an icy glare and Lucy knew she would get an earful if something were to go wrong, but he would be there at every step of the way.

Wendy grinned as Lucy nodded, the looks they gave each other all confirming their decision.

The Heartfilia’s would be reunited with the Draconian kingdom.

-

As Lucy approached the council room she felt her nerves rise up once again. She had fought beasts and wondered through some of the most feared places in the country, but there was something about being in front of royals that made her stomach churn and her palms sweaty, especially that her audience were Draconians.

“I have considered your terms,” Lucy began the lines that Wendy had instructed her but before she could even get a sentence out the old man’s hands raised to silence her.

“Please wait for the King to allow you to begin,” the advisor interrupted. His eyes turning to Natsu who sat at the centre of the table who sent the man on his right a pointed glare.

The archer could feel her face burn as she tried to hold her tongue.

“Uh,” Natsu coughed as he looked at Lucy, “you may… wait, what do I say again?” He turned to Yajima and a snicker could be heard from his left where the war General and Lieutenant sat.  

“You may approach, Lady Lucy Heartfilia.”

The prince nodded. ”You may approach…” He cleared his throat. “Lady Lucy..”

Her eye twitched as she tightened her jaw. What sort of ruler didn’t even understand his own lines. Even she could remember her basic etiquette despite having dropped her formalities years ago.

“As I was saying, I will accept your terms.” Her cheeks darkened for the second time. “To be your bride that is if my own conditions are met.”

Natsu’s eyes widened along with the other members on the table.

Lucy cleared her throat. “I will not be wed until after the Draconians have marched with us to the field of Mavis and the war is over, but I promise myself to you-”

“Bullshit,” Gajeel’s gruff voice rose up as his hand came down to slam on the table, “You’re the one asking us to fight your war. You can’t make demands!”

“Gajeel!” Yajima interjected but he silenced him with a deadly look as he pointed to Lucy.

“We shoulda just killed her now while she stands within our walls. Then Natsu can find a true mate,” he yelled and the archer took a step back to Wendy and Gray, her brows narrowing. Yet, there was barely time to mull over the words as a crash echoed throughout the large room.

Natsu had stood up, his chair falling to the ground as he gave Gajeel a fierce look with eyes that flashed gold.

“What did you say?” he growled.

“You heard me,” the Lieutenant snarled as he stood up himself, “Those Heartfilia bitches have done us no good since her mother ran outta here. We need a King! Not to be fighting war that aren’t ours.”

Natsu pushed his forehead against Gajeel’s.

“If you lay a single hand on her I’ll-”

“You’ll what, Salamander?”

“I’ll burn you to ash,” he snapped, as red scales began to form along his cheeks.

Gajeel grinned. “You ain’t strong enough to stop me. Not while you aren’t bound to her completely.” He let out a strange laugh before he jabbed a hand to the prince’s chest. “It’d be like fighting a raging squirt before he can fly.”

“Is that a challenge?” Natsu growled

“De provocatione ad throni.”

“Nam throni,” the prince spat as he turned away from the dark haired man.

“Laxus, prepare the Sanguis Pit whilst Yajima rings the bells,” he ordered, “and make sure Lucy has a good view. I want her to watch as I beat this bastard into the dirt.”

“Sire- Natsu, are you sure about this?” his advisor chased after him, but he only slammed the doors as Gajeel cackled.

Gray x Natsu + Profile

NOTP | meh | it’s ok | i can live with it | BROTP | cute | i love this ship | adorable | OTP

If you had to change the pairing’s very first meeting, how would you change it? - I don’t think I would change it, it was a very believable meeting, especially considering how young they were, but I also love the idea of them starting off as close friends and the fighting becoming a later addition to their relationship (e.g. ‘The Change’ by Mnemosyne’s Elegy)

What song fits your pairing the most? - I think a song like Right Here by Ashes Remain would fit them the best, I think the tone and message of the song fits my vision of the pairing and it works in both a romantic and platonic way.

What is your favourite AU/prompt idea/trope for your pairing? - SOFT!!! These boys being soft and wholesome with each other is my everything and my jam! Just soft gays being soft for each other! I also really like the idea of modern AUs where they go on roadtrips or only have each other to rely on.

Do you prefer canon ideas or do you have your own headcanons for them? - What’s canon? Jk, I prefer headcanons, stuff like Gray being a Mum friend, or Natsu being really good with medicine, they’d still bicker in every incarnation, but it would be soft bickering.

Favourite canon moment of them? - Chapter 523: Will Fate Burn? I am 100% unashamed to admit that I cried right along with Natsu in this chapter. (I also really like what you could do with the implications of this, because I can’t imagine their rivalry recovering, but I can imagine their friendship recovering and that shift would be really interesting to explore).

Least favourite canon moment of them? - Chapters 503 - 507, it just hurt to watch them fight and try to kill each other, I knew it was coming but that didn’t stop me from dreading it, because there was so much betrayal and grief in that fight, THEY COLLAPSED OUT OF RELIEF when it was resolved, these boys aren’t your typical rivals, they wholeheartedly care about each other and things outside of their need for vengeance.

Favourite headcanon trope/idea? - For Natsu, my favourite headcanon is the aforementioned one about him being really good with medicine, specifically natural remedies. For Gray, one of my favourites is that he code-switches a lot between Fioran and Isvanian and that language is a form of self-expression for him, and that Isvanian is incredibly precious to him and his identity. For them as a couple, I love the headcanon of them still communicating through non-verbal means, different kisses meaning different things, soft little touches and looks that tell them everything they need to know.

Least favourite headcanon trope/idea? - For Natsu, the headcanon that he is noticeably younger than Gray is a pet peeve of mine (in my Wattpad days, a lot of the time Gray was 18 and Natsu was 17 and that always bugged me). For Gray, I don’t like the idea of him being the always dominant one, since it kind of takes away from Natsu’s character in my opinion. Between both of these headcanons, you can probably see the pattern, but I tend to avoid content where they aren’t equal in some form or another (this is also a minor pet peeve of mine in canon).

Favourite aspect of them/their relationship dynamics? - Their goofy but loving friendship, and how they kind of band together to stay safe from Erza and continue to protect each other. There is so much love between these two, I can’t!

Least favourite aspect of them/their relationship dynamics? (Can be headcanon) - Going back to the inequality, Natsu is noticeably stronger than Gray in canon, but I really hate when Gray is either put down because of that or is actively treated as weaker than Natsu. They are rivals and are meant to be equal, Gray is smarter and his abilities are more versatile than Natsu, whilst Natsu has a lot of raw strength. Ideally, they’d both be strong and considered equal not because they’re the same, but because they have different skill sets that compliment each other’s weaknesses, allowing them to grow as people and as fighters.

If they aren’t a canon pairing, how would you get them together? - I can’t imagine these two getting together in anything less than some dramatic near death moment. One of them is about to do something stupid, promptly scaring the other so their emotions are going crazy, the three words are spoke, the one doing something stupid probably does it anyway, and there’s probably some tears, more than a couple fists thrown and a kiss.

If you had to take them and plunk them into another fandom, what fandom would that be? Why? - Pokemon, because I know the Pokemon fandom best after Fairy Tail

How hard is it write/draw your pairing? Scale of 1-10. - 7 for me, they’re very emotive in my mind, and it’s all dramatic, but I don’t have many interesting ideas or angles that I’d like to explore. I love the softness, but that doesn’t have a lot of substance, I can throw angst and hurt/comfort at them, but it can get quite generic.

Is there a pairing that you think rivals them? - Not for me, they’re my OTP, TECHINICALLY, though I play it by ear because I change my mood so often.

Which character of the pairing do you like more? (Would you ever pair yourself with them?) - I prefer Gray and no one is surprised, he’s an incredibly deep character who gives so much and gets so little. He’s graceful and kind and sweet, and I would die for him. And I did once pair himself with me when I was younger, but not anymore, now I just admire him.

Which character of your pairing would be the one to break up with the other? Why? - They probably both would, I don’t see their relationship being smooth whatsoever and they’d probably break up over relatively small things only to get back together. They aren’t conventional or clean, but I find it undeniable that they do love each other, and I don’t think that would ever quite fade even if they did break.

Are they relatable as characters or as a pairing? - As characters, I think Gray is more relatable than Natsu because Natsu is so powerful and over the top, whereas Gray feels more grounded, but I think that in a relationship, their connection would be very unique.

Did you once/ever dislike one/both of them? - They can both annoy me, Natsu has been annoying me in Fairy Tail: 100 Year Quest because he’s gotten so much focus and squeezed everyone else out, and Gray annoyed me back when I first read Avatar, but I’ve never disliked them. The closest I’ve come is when I was simply uninterested in Gray when I first found the series (but HOOOO boy did that change when Galuna Island attacked).

On an estimate, how many posts have you made about them? - I’d say that 15 posts are up right now, between Tumblr and AO3, but across my 4 years of being a fan? There’s probably 50+ things I’ve made for them.

What made you decide to ship them? - There was never a particular moment that made me ship them, it gradually happened for me, I slowly began to notice them more in the anime, and then woops, I searched up fanfiction and fanart.

Favorite genre for them? (Angst, fluff, etc.) - Fluff and hurt/comfort.

FAIRY TAIL HEADCANONS— poly relationship with ash, erza, natsu, and gray {part two}

Author’s note: alright, this is part two! this part will feature more ocs (the ocs are my friend's btw: @thepsyichckistune) Enjoy!

—ash💜🌈

{~~~}

the more Ash hung around Gray, the more others found that…

Ash had subconsciously adopted Gray’s habit of stripping his clothes

At first Ash started showing more skin

But then not long after she just full on started up Gray’s stripping habits

And she didn’t even notice that she was doing it at first

“Ash, where did your skirt and tank top go?” Alexander asked as his twin sister just sighed, Alex pinching the bridge of her nose.

“Huh? Oh, I don’t know.” Ash said in a straightforward manner.

“Ash, maybe you should put some clothes on.” Diluc suggested.

“Why?”

“Because you’re only in your undergarments.” Kaeya stated as he took a sip of his drink.

Ashley just shrugged her shoulders. “At least I’m not completely nude.”

“I think Gray’s rubbing off on her.” Childe said.

“Yup.” Alexandria agreed with a small chuckle.

Gray nor Natsu noticed that Ash was stripping like Gray

Erza did tho

She couldn’t bring it up because of how red her face is in that moment

Oh, and the small nose bleed that she gets every time she sees Ash in her undergarments (which is lace and that’s something that I headcanon Erza looooving)

One time Ash and her lovers were over at Ice Wind for a bit

And Ash was on her period

Which her lovers didn’t know at the time

And they saw Ash go into the kitchen of Ice Wind, and back come out into the guild hall downing an entire gallon sized container of chocolate syrup

So Erza questioned her lover about this

“Beloved, why are you drinking an entire gallon of chocolate sauce?”

“Because I’m bleeding from my pussy and the cramps can only be subsided by one of the best things this world has ever created: chocolate.”

And Erza just nodded

Because she knows how it feels

If anyone of the quad gets hurt, the others are properly offended

Erza and Natsu just got horribly injured by their current foe? Ash and Gray are basically like “square up thot. you hurt our baes we about to hurt you the same bitch.”

Don’t mess with the quad

Or you may not make it out alive

Erza, Gray, and Natsu looooove it when Ash sings to them

Or when she sings in general

“Gray! New table for you in section three!”

Gray sighs, rubbing his face and nodding at Jeremy. It’s busy today – even though the lunch rush is almost over, the restaurant is still packed, and Gray’s both exhausted and hungover. He wipes at the sweat running down the back of his neck before washing his hands and heading out into the front of the restaurant.

“Good afternoon, welcome to...”

Gray trails off as he realizes that the person sitting in his section is Natsu.

Shit.

There’s an awkward silence as they stare at each other, and then Gray’s eyes flick across the table to a vaguely familiar blond man in a police uniform.

Gray’s stomach immediately drops and he’s sure he’s going to throw up.

“Gray, right?” The man smiles at him, and Gray realizes with relief that it’s just Natsu’s friend from the bachelor party last night. He rearranges his face into something neutral while he desperately tries to remember the man’s name. Stan? Stiles? Sting.

“Y-yeah,” Gray says after a second. He can feel Natsu staring at him, and Gray’s suddenly incredibly conscious of the faint red mark across his cheek. “Sorry, I, uh—there was a mistake, I...”

Gray’s vision blurs and for a terrifying moment he thinks he might pass out. He catches himself on the table, refusing to meet Natsu’s gaze, then turns around and all but runs back into the kitchen. His heart is pounding, and he leans back against the wall near the staff room, taking deep breaths.

“What are you—Gray? Are you okay?”

A gentle hand lands on Gray’s arm and he’s about to shrug it off when he realizes that it’s just Lucy.

A gentle hand lands on Gray’s arm and he’s about to shrug it off when he realizes that it’s just Lucy.

“Sorry,” he says, leaning back against the wall and taking a deep breath. “I just—I...” His hands won’t stop shaking and he clenches them into fists, digging his nails into his palms to try and focus. “Can you take my new table?”

Lucy looks out across the restaurant, then back to Gray. “The cop and the guy with the pink hair?” she asks, and he nods, crossing his arms over his chest. Lucy sighs. “Are you in trouble?”

Gray sighs, forcing himself to look up at Lucy and give her a wry smile. “It’s silly,” he says, trying to keep his voice even. “He’s my ex – the guy with the pink hair – we haven’t talked in a while and it’s just...”

“Gotcha.” Lucy squeezes Gray’s hand and gives him a grin. “Want me to spit in his drink?”

Gray manages a laugh as he shakes his head. “I appreciate it,” he says, “but he’s not actually a bad guy. I just don’t think I can handle him right now. He’s... a lot.”

“Uhuh.” Lucy rolls her eyes. “You’ve met my ex, I know a thing or two about ‘a lot.’ I’ve got this.” Then she squeezes Gray’s arm and heads out to the front of the restaurant.

-----

Gray manages to avoid Natsu’s questioning gaze for the rest of the lunch rush, and when he and Sting finally leave, Gray breathes a sigh of relief.

“Honestly, I think you downgraded,” Lucy says, appearing behind Gray in the break room and sitting down on the couch. “He’s cute.” She holds out a piece of paper to Gray and he groans, grabbing it before slumping down on one of the chairs.

“What does he want?” he grumbles, unfolding the note.

I swear I'm not stalking you, I had no idea you worked here. I hope you got home ok last night. I’m gonna be hanging out at Second Beach this evening, I'd love to see you again while we’re both sober. xo

Gray groans, dropping his head into his hands. After Joel had fallen asleep last night, Gray had read Natsu’s note one last time, then burned it and washed the ashes down the sink. The fifty dollars is hidden in his work locker, tucked in the sleeve of his extra shirt.

A touch on Gray’s wrist drags him out of his reverie and he looks up to see Lucy crouched down in front of him.

“I’m fine,” he says immediately, and she rolls her eyes at him.

“Go,” she says, gesturing to the note. “Yes, I’m nosy, and no, you’re not fine.” When Gray tries to protest, she shakes her head. “How many times have you covered for me when the twins have been sick, Gray? I owe you.”

“But I—”

“If Joel shows up, I’ll text you.” The look Lucy gives him is so knowing that Gray feels his cheeks start to burn. He glances down at where Lucy’s hand is resting on his arm – over the bruises that are hidden by the fabric of his shirt.

“I can’t,” Gray says softly. Lucy takes both of Gray’s hands in hers and squeezes them.

“Gray,” she says gently, “I just want to help.”

“I don’t need help,” he insists. A spark of anger ignites in the midst of his fear, and he pulls his hands away from her, pushing the chair back and standing up. “Everything’s fine. I just don’t want to see my stupid ex.”

Lucy sighs, pushing herself up to her feet. “Okay,” she says, pulling her hair back into a messy bun and straightening her apron. “But if you change your mind, I’m here.”

-----

Despite spending the rest of his shift convincing himself to ignore Natsu’s note, Gray finds himself walking down to Second Beach later that afternoon. Joel’s working until nine, so Gray calls and tells him the closest thing to the truth that he can – he's taking Bella to the beach to meet Lucy and the boys.

He convinces himself that the only reason he’s going is to apologize for his drunken mistake. It’ll be the last time they talk, because he promised Joel, and Joel trusts Gray, even when he doesn’t deserve it.

“You came!” Natsu’s face lights up as soon as he sees Gray, and he runs across the sand, dropping down to a crouch in front of Bella. She’s already hyper, so she launches herself at Natsu and starts licking his face while her tail whips back and forth.

“Bella, sit,” Gray says half-heartedly, but Natsu’s grinning and rubbing behind her ears and telling her what a good girl she is, so she ignores Gray in favor of the attention.

Eventually Gray gives up and just watches them. Considering it’s been five years, Natsu looks remarkably similar. His hair’s longer and his ears are pierced, but his smile is the same. He’s still got those freckles on his shoulders that Gray used to kiss, and the scar on his neck from the time his brother pushed him into a barbed wire fence, and...

Gray stops himself and looks away before Natsu can catch him staring.

Eventually Natsu stands up and tucks his hands into his pockets, then raises an eyebrow at Gray. “How’s your head?”

Gray snorts, tucking his hair behind his ear and shrugging. “Could be worse,” he says. “You?”

Natsu laughs, tipping his head up to watch a flock of gulls fighting each other over the scraps of somebody’s lunch. “I’ll live,” he says eventually. “I, uh... definitely haven’t had that much to drink in a while.”

Gray sighs, wishing he could just avoid this conversation entirely. “Me neither,” he says quickly. “I’m sorry I led you on. I wasn’t thinking, and I was surprised, and—”

“Hey, it’s okay,” Natsu interrupts, shaking his head. “I just... I was worried about you.”

“Well, don’t be,” Gray snaps. He exhales slowly, then shakes his head. “Sorry. It’s been a long day.”

Natsu nods, and they both stand in silence for a minute before Natsu gestures to a bench not far from them. “Can we... talk?”

“Aren’t they gonna miss you?” Gray asks, gesturing to a group of guys down at the edge of the water. He can see Sting’s spiky blond hair again – he's not in uniform, now – and a few other people that Gray vaguely recognizes from the bar last night.

“They’ll live,” Natsu says, reaching out for Gray’s hand. Gray pulls away from him, wrapping Bella’s leash around his wrist, and Natsu sighs. “Fuck, sorry. Can we... please?”

As soon as they sit down on the bench, Bella leans her head back into both of their laps, tongue lolling out of her mouth as she begs them to pet her. Natsu laughs, stroking the soft fur on top of her nose.

“What do you want to talk about?” Gray asks softly, watching a little girl chase the waves out along the beach, then giggle and run back to her mother, leaving wet footprints behind to get washed away by the next tide.

“I missed you,” Natsu says, looking sideways at Gray.

Gray snorts. “You’ve got a funny way of showing it,” he mutters, and when Natsu gives him a puzzled look, he rolls his eyes. “I haven’t heard from you in years,” Gray says, and he can’t help the bitterness that seeps into his voice. “You barely even recognized me.”

“I... what?” Natsu sounds genuinely confused, and Gray looks over at him, frowning. “Ellie, I—”

“Gray.”

“Gray, shit, sorry,” Natsu says, shaking his head. “You’re the one who stopped talking to me.” He reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone. “Erza and I—”

“Seriously?” Gray’s trying hard to keep his voice down, but hurt and anger are coloring his words. “You both stopped talking to me when I told you I was moving here with Joel, so—”

“What the hell are you talking about?” Natsu looks so taken aback that Gray stops mid-sentence and stares at him. “You told me ‘hope life treats you well,’ then never texted me again!”

“...what?”

“Look!”

Natsu holds out his phone and Gray stares down at it, then back up at Natsu again.

“No, I...” Gray closes his eyes and runs his hand over his face. This is a mistake. He shouldn’t be here. “I have to go.”

He stands up and Natsu makes a soft sound of protest, reaching out and grabbing his wrist. Gray tries to mask a wince as he pulls away, glaring at Natsu. He doesn’t miss the way Natsu’s eyes quickly drop to his arm.

“Gray, please,” Natsu says, standing up as well. He doesn’t reach out again, but his eyes are sad. “This isn’t right, something—I didn’t abandon you, I swear to god, you have to believe me.”

“I don’t have to do anything,” Gray says, tugging on Bella’s leash. She whines at him, thumping her tail in the sand. “You can’t just show up after five years of not talking to me—”

“I have texted you a hundred times!” Natsu insists, holding out his phone again. “Gray, I don’t know what’s going on, but I promise, I— ”

Gray shakes his head, taking another step backward. He needs to leave. He promised Joel, and Natsu is dangerous. He’s the spark that’s going to burn down everything Gray has built over the last five years.

“Gray, look at me,” Natsu begs, putting his hands out placatingly. “Please, I just—something doesn’t feel right, and I’m scared for you... you’re not acting like yourself—”

“You don’t know me!” Gray shouts. Bella looks back and forth between the two of them and lets out a soft, rumbling woof, then settles down next to Gray. People are starting to stare, and Gray can’t cry, not here. “There’s nothing wrong with me, just leave me alone.”

“Please,” Natsu whispers, and Gray stares at the ground. He doesn’t want to see the confused, pitying look on Natsu’s face. “I just want to help.”

“I don’t need help,” Gray says, fingers tightening on Bella’s leash.

“You... c’mon, Gray, you’ve got bruises, and you were crying, what the hell am I supposed to think?”

“I was drunk and I fucked up,” Gray insists. “This was a mistake. I have to go.” He doesn’t look at Natsu as he whispers, “please leave me alone.”

Then he turns on his heel and walks away, biting his lips as hard as he can and trying not to cry.

FF.net - AO3

   Natsu Dragneel was, by all intents and purposes, an idiot. He wracked his brain for answers on why he would put his name as ‘Hot Stuff’ in her phone. Oh man, she was going to think he was a moron. Shit, he just might be.

   “Troubles with the blonde?” Jellal gave him a knowing pat on the shoulder and Natsu briefly wondered if the man was doing alright. He’d JUST moved back to his hometown and all.

   “The blonde’s name is Lucy and Natsu looooves her,” Juvia called from across the empty cafe. He was after closing but the trio still had business to take care of and that took precedence over his idiocy with a girl he definitely did NOT love. He loved his soulmate. Though, sometimes that worked for and against him. Today, it was against him because damn it all the girl was amazing. She was selfless and caring.

   He could inconvenience her a million times and she’d forgive him each and every one. But Lucy. Lucy was real. He could touch her, hear her voice, watch her nose scrunch up when she took a sip of a drink much too bitter. Today, it worked against him.

   “I don’t like ‘er, Juvia. She’s not my soulmate.” He threw the rag down on the countertop with an annoyed grunt.

   Jellal, in his infinite wisdom, assumed Natsu was one of the ‘following the crowd’ types and made the first of many mistakes.

   “So? Why should that matter?” the darker-haired blunette’s voice rang into the silence and Natsu, dear Natsu, exploded.

   “Huh!? What do ya mean why!? ‘Cause I love her and I can’t stand liking someone who isn’t her!”

   “Have you guys met before?” because surely after a week of working at the shop Jellal would have met her by now. But he’d only ever seen the blo-- ‘Lucy’ here to visit the pinkette.

   “N-no, we haven’t.” the pinkette’s head hung low and he expected the same thing he always got: then go see her instead of raging.

   “Are you dating?” this was a different line of questioning then he was used to. So, Natsu, for once, listened.

   “No?” Jellal spoke calmly even in the face of Natsu’s disdain. Natsu, himself, was beginning to question Jellal’s motive at this point.

   “Then do as you please. See who you end up liking the most. Although, you should probably meet your soulmate if--”

   “I KNOW.” an aggravated yowl left the pinkette’s throat and that was enough for Jellal to know it was a subject to drop. And so he continued to sweep and they worked in awkward silence until the cafe was closed for the night. They even had the ‘closed for emergency’ sign outside so patrons knew they’d be closed for a few days.

   The trio had business to attend to after all. Business that had nothing to do with his love life.

----------------------

   The dinging of her phone was what woke her in the dead of night. The blonde fumbled and smacked at her phone in an attempt to decline the call but much to her chagrin she tapped the answer button instead.

   “Hey, Lucy.” Natsu’s voice was soft and barely audible from her bedside table and it took her a moment to register who was speaking.

   “Natsu?” her voice was groggy and at first the pinkette wasn’t sure what Lucy had even said. Meanwhile, the blonde herself was struggling to focus on the bright lit up screen where the vague shape of her barista was. Half-asleep and barely functioning, she waited for a response.

   “Look at the screen.” Lucy had barely heard what he said. Which wasn’t surprising since she still hadn’t lifted the phone from her table.

   “Don’t wanna.” a grumbled response that Natsu understood. Sort of.

   “Luuuuce.” he groaned while the haze of the blonde’s waking mind began to clear.

   “Fiiiiiiine,” she grumbled. The pinkette watched as her face came to view. Well, a dark outline of her face barely illuminated from the light of the phone.

   “You realize it’s...” she glanced to the upper right, “12:37 AM. Right?”

   “Yeah,” he said it like a statement but his voice was becoming strained, almost as if he was hurt.

   “I just felt the need to talk to ya is all. Not sure why.” more strained vocals from the pinkette. He looked to be in a dimly lit location. She could hear cars passing by and even the sound of a microwave going off in the distance.

   “What about? Are you okay?” she didn’t think he was but she was already expecting his lie.

   “I’m fine. Nothin’ to worry about, Luce.” it seemed that the nickname would be sticking unless she rejected it but honestly it felt right. It felt like a personal connection to him. She liked that.

   “Ya sure?” she grumbled, a mixture of tired and irritation at being woken if nothing was wrong.

   “Where are you anyway?” now THAT was a question he’d hoped she wouldn’t ask.

   “I’m on my balcony.” Technically speaking, he was on a balcony – it just wasn’t his.

   “Uh huh. Sure. Are you sure you’re okay?” Her bed creaked as she shifted to an upright position to continue talking to him.

   “I am. Uh--” the sound of a fight broke out in the background and Natsu cursed before the call abruptly ended. Lucy was left with a bright screen reading ‘Call Ended’ and several questions. Luckily, these could easily be answered with her visit to the shop tomorrow. Still, she worried about him. She considered calling him back to see if he was okay but quickly dismissed the thought.

Besides, she’d see him tomorrow anyway.

---------------------

   Natsu laid in his bed, cut to hell, and internally thanked the fact that Lucy hadn’t called him back. That failure of a mission was just one of their many mistakes but he’d made the biggest blunder. He’d gotten hurt; bad. Wendy had spent the entire night attempting to keep the wound from scarring but in the end, she hadn’t been able to. He’d needed several stitches.

   He’d also been ignoring the inked messages on his forearm filled with panic, worry and God knew what else. Of course, she’d seen it. It would scar, badly, which would cause it to stay on her as well. Forever, it would never leave. Now, Natsu himself wouldn’t care about a measly scar but he wasn’t a girl. Girls care about things like that.

   Maybe once he was out of recovery and cleared for active duty again he could talk to Juvia about it. Still, that bitch Briar would pay the next time he saw her. Though, the pinkette couldn’t say it was a total bust. They’d finally gotten information that they could turn into the police which would finally end their job. Plus, the mob syndicate, Avatar would go down in ashes. He couldn’t have them anywhere near Lucy or his soulmate which meant they couldn’t be rifling around in this city.

   “We got ‘em right, gramps?” he questioned the small, elder man who was sitting on the dresser across from his bed.

   “We got ‘em. But. I hate that you disobeyed a direct order AND got yourself injured.” his voice was booming for an old man and Natsu had to admit: he was scared.

   “You leave me with no choice.”

   “Gramps, no. Anything but that.” Natsu’s voice was exasperated.

   “You’re grounded. For an entire week, you won’t leave the apartment and you WON’T be working at the shop either.” Now, Natsu wasn’t worried about funds. Most of his bills were paid by Fairy Tail including his rent. However, being forced away from the shop bothered him. He wouldn’t see Lucy or her friends. And he even liked her friends. Except for Gray. Everyone but him.

   “Graaaaamps,” he whined

------------------------

   Lucy tapped her pen on the table in anger. She’d heard nothing from Natsu or her soulmate in nearly four days. Lucy was pissed, which wasn’t exactly a first for her, at her soulmate. It wasn’t about the scarring left on her abdomen. This was about her worry. She cared for him; missed him. But he’d gotten seriously injured and dropped off the face of the earth.

   Lucy didn’t want to ask the question that was on her mind and it seemed like the redhead didn't either.

   “Ah! May I get another winterberry tea? The color is quite refreshing.” Erza’s voice snapped her out of her stupor causing her to watch the exchange closely. She recognized the blunette male from the week prior when she and Natsu had given each other their numbers.

   “You think so too? I love the color. It has to be my favorite. It’s a scarlet color, just like your hair.” the pair were smiling at each other with tinted red cheeks and the blonde nearly cooed at the two. The scene felt like sweet tea on her tongue; strong and full of diabetes. Meanwhile, her soulmate gets cut up and just disappears.

   The blunette returned to the counter where Juvia, her second-favorite barista, began showing the male the ropes of making Erza’s favorite drink of the week. It’d surely change by next week but Lucy wasn’t one to judge on picky taste. She’d refused to drink a cappuccino made by anyone other than Natsu so she was getting her caffeine via the unlikely source of Earl Grey. It barely took the edge off. Still, somehow she was still steadfast on the pinkette making her drink.

   She was also stubbornly waiting for his call. Pale fingers caressed her abdomen where the ragged mark of an ‘X’ now laid upon her skin.

   First, her soulmate. Now, Natsu. Hives broke out across her skin as worry fell over her.

   “Luce! It’s been a while, huh?”

   And truly it hadn’t been.

A/N:

NEXT CHAPTER:

Gruvia. We get some Gruvia.

So next is choosing what scenes you want for each couple next:

NaLu: Balcony Scene or THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED

and

Gajevy: Lucy meets the bae or Kiss in the rain

Gruvia doesn’t get a choice because I have a dream sequence coming for them. Small reminder this is mainly nalu so i’m trying to keep it mainly about them.

I LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT CHAPTER WITH YOU ALL.

Ashes to Ashes Preview!

“Since you got Jellal’s confirmation, we ain’t going to kill you,” Sting pointed out.  “Look, I dunno how you’re talking to the fire dragon, but...he can cross the border.  On the condition that he’s escorted in.  He’s gotta be escorted here.”

“Deal.”

“Deal,” Lucy echoed.  She took a deep, shuddering breath.  “Thank you.  I know you don’t care much for me or Natsu, but-”

“Hold on.”  Sting suddenly got in her face, and she reeled back with a squeak.  Natsu growled in disapproval.  “What’d you say?”

“You don’t care much for me or Natsu-”

He cut her off again.  “Natsu.  Did you seriously say Natsu?”

“Do you know him?” Lucy asked anxiously, but Natsu was just as puzzled as she was.  And annoyed.  He was probably too busy paying attention to her.  She could see Erza and Gray bothering him about the matter, trying to convince him to pay attention to them and what was going on in their area.  

“No.  And yes, Gray is currently shouting in my ear.  I’m considering frying him.  Like one of those omelette things from your world.”

Lucy, despite the situation, nearly choked on spit.  

“Yeah,” she said finally.  “Natsu.  That’s my dragon’s name.”

Without a word, Sting spun around and ran away.  

He ran away.

“What the hell?” Lucy muttered, sputtering in confusion.  

“I won!  He ran from me!”

“You didn’t win in anything!”  Lucy frowned.  “Natsu, you really ought to do what Erza says.  Can you please just work with her and get here as soon as possible please?”

“Yep.”

And then he left her be.  

A preview as an apology for not updating this week!

Maud girl, I love you, but you'll hate me for this ramble😅 A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed. Well, I'll go with all of them. For OTP, my biggest are EdWin and Royai (from FMA), Karmanami from Assassination Classroom and NaLu from FT. Friendships... I love GrayLu platonically and RoyxMaes is the best brotp😍 and of course I freaking loooove all friendships from Haikyuu and Akatsuki no Yona... And I love Zen and Mitsuhide's relationship in Akagami no shirayuki-hime and Al and Ed are best bros and the freaking platinocial relationship between Handa and Naru gets me everytime and I should probably gp to the next ask before I ramble more than necessary. B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind. Asano x Nakamura... I never even imagined them as a couple... Until I read a perfect fanfiction... And now I ship⛵️⛵️ C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will. I'll be hated.... But EdxRoy (just no, okay?! Mustang's like a dad to Ed!!) and Shirayuki x Obi because Zen😍😍 (I love their friendship tho) D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t. Yamaguchi x Yachi because I wnat Yams to be happy... But HinaYachi is love, HinaYachi is life!! E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what? Not yet, but I joined FMABigBang so I'll add Ed being an overprotective drama queen (or rather, king) dad, so stay tuned! F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom? Hmm... Almost a year in the FT fanfom!!! Happy birthday, I guess? G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it? I live for my OTPs! (Which just proved why I'm still single... I have my whole life aheeeaaaad~~) I think one of my first conscious OTPs (in that I knew what that was) was Harry x Hermione and it was shattered to pieces... Damn you, JK Rowling! (I still love you). H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)? Hmm... Anime. Because it's lively and you can actually picture the characters miving when reading a fanfic! I agree with manga too... And sometimes books. Movies feel just too real to be placed in cartoons, though. I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why? No, but the haters were closed to it. Tho I did stop liking the small Usagi Drop fandom because of the manga spoilers that ruined my experience... To those who want to watch it, take my friendly advice, PLEASE don't read the manga. The anime is the fluffiest thing, so please just watch that. J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.) Bnha, which is why I started reading it. And Voltron.... I'll watch that soon, too. K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc? Uhm... Well that's a hard one. I absolutely love the subtle and endearing development in Oreki (hyouka) and Haruhi in Ouran, but my favourite has to go to Tsukki for how well-built it was!! Furudate-sensei, I bow im front of you. Also, honrable mention to Karma in Assassination Clasroom. L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.) I don't especially love oikawa. I admire him a tone, and I have a lot of his quotes forever saved in my phone, and I think he's the best setter of them all (I'm sorry, he has more experience and tehnique than Kags or Asaaahi, tho I agree that they'll become better than him in one year's time). So there: I aknowledge his amazingness altough he isn't my fave. M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend. Edward. I want to spend a full day with him and learn how alchemy works (and we'd complain together about how short we are). Also, Haruhi: I feel like she'd give the best advice when I'd need it. N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice). My faveourite fandom is FMA: everyone gets love and attention, and there's little to no hate. What I'd like for it is to make it alive again! I mean, there are events and the such, but the manga finished almost 10 years ago, guys! I hope the new live action will bring us back alive. O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of? Hmm... Well On my Own by Ashes Remain was the first one that popped into my head and it kind of reminds me pf Natsu. He's that character that would always smile, but he's always surpressing his feeling ('I've been stuck in a cage with my doubt/I tried forever getting out on my own') P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas). Random AU...? Honestly, I'm not the biggest AU fan, but if I had to, I'd choose 'we've been stuck in a traffic jam for two hours and we're bored, let's play cards; hey wait Gray, you're cheeting; no way I'm not!; mira, doing cutesy things won't help you win... Laxus don't give in!!; if Laxus is allied with Mira so is the thunder legion! Then I'm starting one on my own! Erza, I'll join... Great, now we have Wendy on Erza's side... All dragon slayers together! And exceeds! Wait lucy, starting a female club isn't gonna help ya! ...guys? That's not how you play pocker!' AU. Okay, I may like this one in particular. Maybe I'll write it:) Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why. I've abandoned the HP fandom. I still like the books, but I kinda grew out of it...? (And into anime😇) R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom? Uhm... In which one? If I'm going with FT, my favourite friendship is GrayLu. In FMA, it's a tie... I love Roy/Hughes brotp and Al/Ed brotp. In Haikyuu... Damn they're too many to choose! But I'd say the Karasuno third years: they have such a tight-knit bond!! And in AssClass it would be Karma/Okuda (it's canon in my mind but friendship in the manga). I just love how easygoing they are. Also, I love Karma/Nagisa in the second half. S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged) Hmm... There are many. My fetish is seeing people sleep: I think you can tell alot about their inner selfes from the position they use when sleeping and from their habits, because they can't control or put up a façade when it comes to that. So my headcanon is that despite being loud and obnoxious, Natsu actually occupies less space than Lucy when sleeping: he takes a baby-posture, while she lashes all over the bed, sometimes punching him im sleep unintentionately. Natsu learnt to deal with it: he actually likes holding Lucy close to make sure she's safe while sleeping. She doesn't mind, especially not during winter. Oh and they also cuddle with a cup of hot coffee in their hands during the morning. Just an after-thought~~ T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? I do! I don't care if you agree or not, but Karma can be sweet, okay? Like he can actually be a good boyfriend (tho maybe a bit possessive). He's the best at telling what's on Okuda's mind and he always buys her toffee when she's feeling down. Oh and also, Riza is a very good mother, always putting her family first. Just letting you know. U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites. Yes!! 1)Karma-assassination classroom. He's that one character that believes he's the best, only to get proven that he can be wrong. What's evenbegter is how he has room to develop and grow to be a better person... Plus, it seems I have a thing for evil goofballs. 2)This is a hard one, but Ed/Roy-Fullmetal Alchemist. I abso-freaking-lutely love all the characters in FMA, but these two attracted my attention. Ed because of how he thinks, how he wants to do good deeds in spite of his thorny exterior and how he miserably fails. I love the way he admits his failures and the way he deals with them can be childish (he's 14, for God's sake!) but he learns from them. Also, Roy because even though he went through Ishval, he still dreams of making the world a better place. I can respect a man who doesn't step over the ethics just to achieve that dream and who always bends and avoides hurting others, while never giving up. Maybe it's a dream, but I very much resonate with it. 3) Lucy from FT. She's the one character in Fairy Tail that has enough of a backstory and is weak enough to evolve. Moreover, she's not your typical girl: yes, she cares about how she looks, because she IS an woman, but she also cares about what's on the inside. She cares about her friends more than anything and even without being the strongest mage, still puts herself in danger for them. I love her resolve and her cute side, too. V - Which character do you relate to most? Hmm... Haruhi Fujioka from Ouran Highschool Host Club. Haruhi is the type to do things on her own and she repells the help of others to do her thing, which I also tend to do. Also, she shoulders a lot of her worries by herself. Plus, she never judges people on appearance and doesn't care about her own (being a girl, that's rare and helps me relate all the more). I just love her😍 (and sometimes am compared to her by my friends). W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom. Whiny female protagonist. I'm not a feminist or anything, but I've had enough of that! Yes, we all want a prince charming, but we can carry ourselves, thank you very much. X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom. Someone pursuing their dreams. Also, I love genre deconstructions (browny points if it's comedic). Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)? Voltron and Yuri on Ice (I feel like I've watched this shows even though I haven't). Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.) Don't tempt me, I will! ( I kinda have this whole post tho) Okay so I'll rant about FMA because I feel it doesn't get all he love it deserves!!! (And because I refrained from fangirling on it up to now) And since we're talking FMA, let's talk Roy Mustang (you knew this would come). Roy is just one of those very strong people that are actually just goofballs on the interior and need love. Seriously, let's take a look at what this guy went through, ok? He's an orphan, but he never complains and learnt to love his cousins (sisters) and aunt (mom). He was taught by a pretty crazy (very talented, but Hawkeye did have a screw loose for inscripting a tatoo on Riza's back and you can't convince me otherwise) alchemist, and yet he managed to become the next flame alchemy. Despite being told not to, he joined the military with a childish dream and even after learning of the harsh reality in the Ishval war, he still went on believing that he can make the country a better place. Yet he's not perfect: he can lose his temper when it comes to those he loves (Mustang being killed) and he doesn't want any more people to die. He cheerisbes his team and wants to keep them all safe. He can be a cheapskate and also a bit of an annoying guy with Ed, and he can be obnoxious, yet funny as hell (tiny miniskirts!!!) Above all, Mustang feels HUMAN! Yes, he puts up a great act, but it's an *act*. He has a more sensitive side and you better not mess with it, or he'll burn you to ashes. This concludes the short version of my Roy Mustang appeciation post. Also, I have some headcanons about him being best dad (and his child being a daddy's girl/boy because of it) and of being a pretty intimidating Führer. This concludes my post. @bookstvseriesandanimes and @paperrabbit13 know what I'm talking about😅 And I tag @bookstvseriesandanimes @paperrabbit13 @shoujoinsights @candyforever123 @funnyshoujomoments and whoever else feels up to it:)
