Here is some CaLu fluff and Team Natsu being protective. I also tried to add some humor, but I don't really know how good it'll be because humor is one of those things that is difficult for me to write when I'm actually trying. 

I hope you enjoy!

Cuddles and Protective Teammates (Cana x Lucy ft. Team Natsu)

Cana sneaked out of the Fairy Tail guildhall, making her way to a familiar apartment. The full moon was high in the night sky, which was dotted with hundreds of brightly shining stars. There was no doubt that the people of Magnolia are sleeping, or at least, trying to sleep. Considering Fairy Tail was having another party, it wasn't a surprise that the town's residents were probably going to be a bit grouchy in the morning due to their local guild. Why was Fairy Tail partying? Nobody knew, not even the mages themselves. They were partying for the sake of partying, and they likely weren't going to stop until they are passed out on the guildhall's floor. 

Cana chuckled at the thought, remembering the many times that she had woken up from a night of partying and drinking, one side of her face red from having slept with that side pressed against the surface of the bar. She would then return to drinking herself back to a blackout about five minutes after waking up. 

The card mage looked behind her, making sure that she wasn't being followed, before she turned back around. She then picked up her pace a little, wanting to get to her destination as quickly as possible. When she left the guildhall, it was ten minutes till midnight. She knew that by the time she got to her girlfriend's apartment, then it'll be midnight. This was her goal. 

It didn't take her long to reach a familiar, pink building, having been here more times than she could remember in the past. She easily climbed up to a window, silently sliding it open. She stuck her head inside, seeing that the blonde in the bed that was below the window sill was sound asleep. Cana stopped for a moment, watching the blonde woman, just for a bit. She watched as her girlfriend's busty chest rose and fell with her breaths. The peaceful look on her face caused a small smile to appear on Cana's face. The brunette felt almost bad about what she was about to do. 

Almost.

After a few moments of savoring the lovely sight of her sleeping girlfriend, Cana slipped through the window and gently stepped onto the bed, being careful to not accidentally wake Lucy. She didn't want to do that just yet. She then readied herself. Her feet were far apart and her knees were bent, she looked as though she was about to leap forward. Her hands were brought up in front of her body, elbows bent. She waited a few moments before she dropped herself forward. Her legs were on either side of Lucy's body, holding Cana so that she wasn't putting her full weight on her girlfriend, but was also sitting on her. The brunette's hands gripped the celestial wizard's shoulders. 

Her small smile grew as she watched Lucy jump awake and begin to panic before quickly calming down when she realized who had jumped onto her. The blonde woman sighed, "Cana! You almost gave me a heart attack!" 

Cana gave a hearty laugh and leaned down to kiss Lucy. She then pulled away to respond, "sorry, couldn't resist the opportunity." 

Lucy rested her hands on Cana's knees, sighing once more, "you could have knocked, you know." After Cana gave a mere shrug and an amused grin, the blonde continued, "why are you here?" 

The card mage collapsed onto the bed next to her girlfriend and pulled her against her chest, her arms wrapped around the blonde tightly in a hold that made Lucy feel loved and protected. Cana further moved so that she was laying on her back, making Lucy rest her head on her barely-covered chest. The brunette then finally answered, "it's midnight, which means, it's our one-year anniversary." 

She felt Lucy cuddle her return, asking, "so, that made you want to scare me awake and cuddle?" 

Cana rested her chin on top of the other woman's blonde head, responding, "I also want to talk." 

"What? You mean I can't go back to sleep?" 

"You can, just not right now?" 

Lucy gave a groan before she finally relented, "fine! What do you want to talk about?"

Cana's answer came almost instantly, "how pretty do you think Mira is?" 

A few moments of silence followed. The celestial wizard then questioned, "what? Why are you asking me that?" 

The card mage shrugged and replied, "just curious. We can talk about other women without any jealousy, right?"

"I guess, sure." 

"Then, answer my question, Lu." 

Cana bent her neck to look down at Lucy's face. The blonde's brow was furrowed and her eyelids were drooping, clearly tired. She then gave an answer, "before I joined Fairy Tail, I had a crush on her. She's gorgeous." 

The card mage gave a chuckle before she responded, "I can see why you used to crush on her. Erza is sexy too. Before I met you, I would have made a move on her if I wasn't too scared of her." 

A snorting laugh came from the blonde on top of her, causing an amused smile to make its way onto Cana's face as she laughed as well. Lucy then responded, "I also had a crush on Erza when I first joined Fairy Tail." 

"Understandable." 

"Can you believe that Gray hasn't gotten with Juvia yet?"

"Oh, God! Mira is going crazy because of that! She's dying for...what did she call them? Black-haired and blue-eyed babies, and blue-haired and black-eyed babies! She's driving me crazy!" 

Lucy laughed, managing to say between her small gasps, "I'm surprised th-that Mira hasn't f-forced them together!" 

Cana laughed with her, both women now fully awake. When their laughter died down, the brunette woman stared up at the ceiling, sleepiness already pulling down her eyelids. She pulled Lucy closer, allowing sleep to rest comfortably upon them. 

Just as the couple was drifting into sleep, a loud crash made them bolt up into sitting positions. They looked at the bedside, watching a familiar man rise to his feet. His eyes rest upon Cana before his brow furrowed and he questioned, "what are you doing here with Luc?" 

Cana wrapped an arm around Lucy's shoulders, opening her mouth to answer as she met Natsu's gaze, however, before she could say anything, the door banged open, revealing Erza and Gray walking into the room. Neither looked happier than their team's namesake. 

Erza questioned with a stern tone, "Lucy, why is Cana in bed with you?" 

Lucy answered as she laid her hand on top of her girlfriend's thigh, "she just dropped by." 

Natsu then barked, "but why is she in bed with you? And why didn't she wait to see you tomorrow?" 

Lucy glared at her best friend and bit back, "she's my girlfriend! Besides, I could ask you those same questions!" 

Happy then popped into the room from outside of the window, exclaiming, "so, Cana really is dating you? Even though you're heavy and mean?" 

Lucy turned her narrowed gaze on the blue exceed, sneering, "I buy all of your fish, remember that!" 

Gray then stepped closer, directing his comment to Cana, "I think it's time you leave." 

Cana glared at the ice-make mage, questioning, "why? You're here too." 

Gray answered, "how are we supposed to know what's going on if we aren't here?"

Lucy groaned, "I can take care of myself!"

Natsu hopped onto the bed, right in front of Lucy, as he exclaimed, "but, Luce, we have to protect you! What if someone breaks in and takes you and you can't fight them off?"

Lucy pushed Natsu off of her bed, growling, "you have to stop being protective! I'm fine! I can defend myself! Cana and I were just cuddling and trying to sleep!" 

Happy hopped onto her lap, saying to her with a big smile, "if you can't defend yourself and do get taken, then you can nag them until they let you go! You're good at annoying people!" 

Lucy grabbed Happy's tail and tossed him to the other side of the room, almost screaming, "don't bite the hand that feeds you, cat!" 

She then looked back at her team. Just as she was about to continue her attempt to get them to leave, Erza stepped forward, questioning the card mage, "did you even try to do anything to Lucy before our arrival?" Her dark eyes were narrowed, daring the woman to whom she was directing her question to even attempt to lie.

Cana gulped before she shook her head, answering as she tried to keep the fear that was rising in her gut from seeping into her voice, "no, I promise! We were just cuddling and sleeping!" 

Erza remained silent, seeming to analyze the other woman. Several moments passed before she nodded, informing her two female guildmates, "alright. Natsu, Gray, Happy, and I will remain, but you, Cana, may stay in bed with Lucy. But, only if you do not attempt anything." 

Before either Lucy or Cana could object or even dare to argue, the four mages settled onto their own sleeping spots in the room. Natsu and Happy were curled up at the edge of the bed, Erza was on the couch, and Gray was draped across a chair. 

Lucy gave a heavy and collapsed backward onto her bed. Cana gave a chuckle as she followed her girlfriend, pulling the blonde back into her arms. They resumed their cuddling position and quickly fell asleep, a full day-long date awaiting them tomorrow for their one-year anniversary.

DESTINY 2 AS TUMBLR TEXT POSTS 💠💬✨

(30/?)

[ahungeringknife]

I still am not over Calus in LF. The empty chalice he holds onto the entire time. He has everything he wanted. He is Emperor again. He has power. He has authority. His every command is obeyed. His ever whim is tended to. Any game or plaything he wants is at his disposal.

But it is a hollow victory for Calus. His cup does not runneth over. It is barren. For all the gold and opulence he has nothing. He is nothing. He has won but he has no one to share it with. There is no grand parties. No banquets in his name.

His Shadow Legion stand or prostrate in silence. They are clones who know only warfare. They do not know culture or substance or how to celebrate. They are husks. The Tormentors sent by the Witness are likewise silent monoliths. They do not speak in a way Calus can understand. They only stand by his throne, tethering him to the Witness as his 'guards'.

Calus 'won' in his own eyes but there are no banquets, there is no wine. His chalice is empty and will be forever until the same rage that took him to destroy himself in the first place takes him again. He crushes the chalice but it doesn't matter. He will always have that emptiness inside of him.

And then we kill him because we are supported by our allies, and he has nothing, and no one.

My first ever animated video is finally done!! It's been 2 straight months of hard work learning to animate and improving my video editing skills, and I'm super psyched to be able to share it with you all. I've wanted to make something else since the response to Lemon Boy from last year was so good, so here's a little retrospective on where we started and how far we've come, just before Final Shape.

Check it out HERE: 👉 https://youtu.be/UumGULU9qNU 👈

Thanks for all the good times, Bungie. See you on the other side, Guardians.

Here's the date of a cherry blossom picnic, nighttime walk, proposal, and still-protective teammates.

I hope you enjoy!

Cuddles and Protective Teammates Part 2 (Cana x Lucy)

Cana sighed as she stared down at her setup. She and Lucy had slept in late on the morning of their one-year anniversary. It wasn't planned, but she was able to adapt pretty easily. When she and her girlfriend finally pulled themselves out of bed, she told Lucy to take a nice, long bubble bath and then come to the cherry blossom tree that was in full bloom once she was done and dressed. 

Cana had managed to put together a nice picnic. Laid out on the green grass below the cherry blossom tree was a red picnic blanket. On top of the blanket was a large, wicker basket that held plates, glasses, food, and wine. She smiled at the setup, a feeling of pride filling her gut. She couldn't wait for Lucy to see this. 

She knelt beside the basket and flipped open the lid. She reached in and pulled out a small, velvety, dark blue box. She opened it to make sure that the precious piece of jewelry was still inside of it. She smiled down at the ring, seeing that the silver band with a star-shaped, white diamond set into it. She then closed the box and nestled it back into the basket, out of sight. 

The sound of footsteps made her aware of her girlfriend's arrival. Cana looked back and smile upon seeing Lucy stare at the picnic with wide eyes, her mouth open in a silent gasp. She was dressed casually, with a baby blue tub top and a simple pair of black jeans. Cana stood up and walked over to her girlfriend. She pressed a soft kiss to her lips and gently pulled her to the blanket, singing, "it's our one-year anniversary." 

She and Lucy sat down on either side of the basket, and she watched with a slightly smug smile as a beautiful pink blush dusted across Lucy's cheeks. Cherry blossom petals fluttered to the ground around them as Cana opened the lid of the basket and reached inside. She resisted the urge to admire how beautiful her girlfriend looked in the warm afternoon sunlight, a few cherry blossom petals on her blonde hair. 

Cana pulled out a large bowl of fresh strawberries and sat it on the blanket. She preceded to pull from the basket a plate of many small sandwiches, a bottle of red wine, two small plates, two wine glasses, a large bowl of chocolate chip cookies, and a small strawberry cake with vanilla icing.

She moved the basket to the side and spread out the food a bit more before she straightened and looked at Lucy. Laughter erupted from her upon seeing that her girlfriend was gazing down at the food hungrily. "Dig in, Lu." 

Lucy didn't need any more prompting and picked up a plate, piling upon it the food that Cana had prepared. Cana watched with an amused smile, bursting into laughter again when Lucy mumbled a "thank you" around a small sandwich that she had shoved into her mouth. 

Cana reached for the wine bottle and popped it open and handed the now-half-filled wine glass to Lucy. The blonde accepted it and drank the alcoholic drink. 

A small rustle from a bush behind them caused Cana to move her eyes from her girlfriend to the forestry that they were sitting several feet in front of. The card mage jumped and stare in angry disbelief as Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Happy hid behind a few bushes, peering over the top of the leaves and sticks. 

Cana glared and gestured with her hand for them to scram, but that was answered by a head shake of defiance from all four of them. She gave a frustrated sigh and turned back to Lucy. Hopefully, the blonde won't catch sight of her team. 

The couple quickly began eating the food that was laid out in front of them. They talked about an assortment of topics. From new happenings in the guild to the jobs that they've recently taken to Lucy's newest novel. The picnic went on until the sun began to set. Cana put the picnic set into the basket and rolled up the red blanket. Just before she and Lucy continued with their date, she slipped out the small, dark blue box and subtly hid it behind herself, being careful to not let Lucy catch sight of it. 

Cana walked over and held out her free hand, asking, "wanna go for a walk?" 

Lucy smiled and entwined her fingers with Cana's, answering, "I'd love to. Maybe it'll help me get some inspiration for the scene I'm stuck on." 

The pair walked past the blooming cherry blossom trees, the sky darkening as the full moon began rising and bathed the land in silver moonlight. Cana could see out of the corner of her eye as Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Happy followed them, hiding behind bushes and trees and keeping their distance. It irritated her, but she didn't want them to sour her mood, so she turned her attention back to her girlfriend and inquired, "What's the scene about?" 

Lucy gave Cana's hand a light squeeze and Cana answered with a light squeeze of her own. "Well, I want it to be a marriage proposal scene between the main character and her boyfriend. I haven't been able to figure out how to write it, though. It's frustrating me. I've been stuck on it for a month now." 

Cana chuckled. "I'm sure that it'll come to you." She smiled as she tightened her hold on the box in her hidden hand. 

After several minutes of walking in peaceful silence, Cana stopped and turned Lucy around to face her. She released her girlfriend's hand and cupped one side of her face. She smiled down at her girlfriend and remained there for a few moments, staring into her dark brown eyes that sparkled in the moonlight. The brunette eventually pulled herself out of Lucy's eyes and began, "Lucy, I love you with all of my heart. You're my best friend and the greatest girlfriend I could've ever asked for." She stopped to take a deep breath before she continued, "I know that we've only been together for one year, but I assure you that I'm completely sure of this." 

She then kneeled on one knee and presented the ring inside of the small box. Lucy gasped and stared down at the ring and Cana in surprise. Cana went on, "Lucy, will you marry me?" 

In a swift motion that Cana was barely able to register, Lucy dropped to her knees and pressed her lips to Cana's. Once she pulled away, the blonde grinned as tears brimmed her eyes and she answered, "yes! Yes, I would love to!" 

Cana slipped the ring onto her finger and pulled her into another kiss. The two women pulled away and held each other close, gazing lovingly into each other's eyes. However, the moment was broken when Lucy's teammates burst out of the bushes they were hiding behind. They joyfully launched themselves at Lucy as they yelled out their congratulations and pulled her into a crushing hug.
