Unrequited Love

Summary: Lucy never though she would have to deal with heartbreak from a man who never even was her boyfriend. But one day she gets to hear the words "Lucy, I think I'm in love" and to her distress, the recipicant isn't her. Notes: I don't actually think this scenario is possible bc I truly can't see Natsu falling for anyone other than Lucy, but let's pretend hehe. Ao3

***

During all the years Lucy had known Natsu, she had never thought that he would end up with someone else. She had always had this gut feeling that the two of them were complete endgame. Lucy had spent so many years pining, waiting for them to finally get together, that the day he had grabbed her hand, held it tight and said “Lucy, I think I’m in love,” she had braced herself to be confessed to. That he would say some crazy, weird things about just never connecting the dots inside his head, but that he finally got it – that they finally could be together. Do the proper dates, the official hand holding, not just the secret thing they had done at night, after missions, on their way back to Lucy’s apartment. They would have their first kiss, they would experience everything for the first time together. They would go through the new nervousness of sharing a bed as a couple and not just as strange friends-ish. It was meant to be them.

But then he started talking about light blue hair, “like the sky, midday”, and deep, green eyes, like the forest where he grew up with Igneel, and he went on to describe an energetic, fun, light hearted girl, who apparently was the one for him. She was allegedly strong, not as scary strong as Erza, but close enough for him to be beyond impressed. And the truth was, Lucy knew that she couldn’t compare. He had never looked this happy talking with her, he didn’t have that shine in his eyes, or the light blush on his cheeks, or that softness in his brows. What he was talking about wasn’t just a brief crush – it was love, and Lucy would never live up to that.

When she walked home that day, alone, all she could do was cry. Her heart was aching like never before, she felt weak, and with a blurry vision she sat down on a bench by the river. She felt so stupid. She had known Natsu for years, and not once had he shown any signs of interest for anyone else other than Lucy. The impromptu visits to her apartment had started on day one – hell, the entire bringing her to Fairy Tail was a neon sign screaming “You’re special!” All the moments they had together, all the fighting Natsu had done in Lucy’s name, all the intimately shared details that Lucy wouldn’t tell a soul other than him – what happened to all that? 

She must have sat on that bench for an hour, just hulking and crying and grabbing her clothes by her heart, to somehow relieve the clenching, stinging feeling inside of her. At one point she found herself hyperventilating, not getting enough oxygen from all the crying. She wanted to scream, run away, but most of all, she wanted to reverse time. Back to before that dinner, back to before Natsu met his new love, she just wanted to go back to when everything between them was fine. Normal. But despite the many magics in the world, turning back time wasn’t possible. Not to that degree at least. Lucy remembered thinking briefly, that had she been a water mage like Juvia, she would have flooded the entirety of Fiore by now. She just wanted to melt through the ground and not exist anymore. Because what would happen now? Who was she without Natsu? Her guild mark on her hand was stinging, because it represented her relation to him. He was the one who made this mark possible, but now that they couldn’t be together like before, did she deserve having it?

She knew she had to get back home, into her apartment. There she could wallow in peace, she hoped, after changing her bed sheets of course. They smelled like Natsu. And she didn’t know what she was supposed to do with the fish stash in her fridge. Would Happy still be coming by? Would he have time to eat the fish before it went bad? Would Lucy be able to deal with Happy’s presence, or would Natsu’s absence be too heavy for both of them? She knew she couldn’t see anyone in her current state, or in her state in a week from now either. There was so much for her to deal with emotionally first. Even brushing her teeth would be a challenge, since her toothbrush was mingling with his in the cup in the bathroom. She would have to get rid of his towel as well, or the presence of it would remind her of the fact that he wouldn’t take showers there again. And his clothes that he had left in her hamper would also have to go, though she didn’t want to throw them away. Somehow she would have to face him and give him his things back. And his mug with a dragon print on it would have to be returned as well. Truthfully, that applied to so many things that she started wondering if she would have to burn her apartment to the ground to be able to forget him. Except no – that would mean fire, and fire was another thing she wouldn’t be able to see without Natsu popping into her head.

The thing was that the two of them had lived a life of codependency up until that night. They were practically living together, though everything was unspoken. Just the fact that he was in love with someone else meant that they couldn’t continue being friends. On paper they would always be close of course, but in reality she knew that they had to give up their friendship. They were never together, but she had to treat them like a breakup, and that felt so insanely bad. She was a fluffer, doing all the girlfriend things but never getting the good stuff. No kisses, no sex, no declarations of love. No proper dates. Just hangouts. And now she was left alone, when he no longer needed her for the other girlfriend stuff. He had gotten himself the real deal, while Lucy was left with the scraps. The heartbreak.

His newfound love was a lightning bolt from a clear sky, and it consumed Lucy’s brain to the point where she was bedridden for days. She couldn’t sleep, because all dreams were either good dreams about him, or dreams where he kept repeating that sentence. “I think I’m in love.” And then she would appear, a blue curly bob in some dreams, other dreams she was an exact copy of Lucy, but with different coloured hair and eyes. It felt nothing short of hell. Lucy kept repeating the same questions – how? How did this happen? And why – why didn’t she see it coming? Why didn’t Natsu see Lucy as a love interest? Why had he acted like her boyfriend in all aspects of physical, and then found someone else? How did he act with the other woman? Was he shy? Sly? Sexy? Proper, like a gentleman? Did he laugh as much as he did on his “dates” with Lucy? Did he take her to the same restaurants? Did he feel like the world stood still and nothing else mattered when he saw her, just like Lucy had felt with Natsu? It was terrible not knowing the answers, but she knew it would feel terrible knowing them as well.

What really kept her up at night was the smallest moments though. Like the time he took her hand on his own initiative, braided their fingers together and did that soft, caressing motion with his thumb on the back of her hand. And the fact that they were in public, just talking with their friends across the table, and Lucy had felt like Natsu was giving her all the attention in the world, despite them not exchanging a single word the entire evening. She remembered being so content with his hot hand practically glued to hers, despite the sweat and the added challenge of eating with her left hand. But she hadn’t wanted to pull away first, and seemingly, neither did Natsu. Though she couldn’t remember how it went, eventually they had released each other from their grips. It hadn’t been significant then, the important part was that they held hands, not that they quit holding hands. But now she was facing the truth – all things came to an end. If none of them started things again, then she just had to realize that it had ended. She was left wondering if it ever meant anything. Was it just something he had tried out on a whim? Was it too much for Lucy to gently squeeze his hand back? Or was it too little? Should she have done more, or would it have ruined everything?

What about all the times he had come to her rescue while she was doing small, everyday tasks? Like rushing to the store to buy more rice while she was cooking, fixing the flickering light in her bedroom in the middle of the night because she couldn’t concentrate on writing, despite him getting woken up after being dead asleep in his own house, building furniture he had ruined in the spree of the moment. Had it all just been friendly? And if it wasn’t just out of pure kindness, if there was some love involved, what made him fall out of love? What had Lucy done wrong, and how could she fix it?

The next months were an out of body experience for Lucy. She knew the time had passed, and she knew she had to get back in the saddle, but she was still at that diner, listening to Natsu go on and on about his love and the fact that Lucy wasn’t on the receiving end of said love. And every time she tried to move on, it was painfully obvious that she didn’t have a place in the guild without Natsu. It wasn’t that anyone was shutting her out – if anything she had been offered to go on more jobs than ever with people. But she knew it was temporary. As soon as she seemed normal again people would be able to get back to their daily activities, and those activities didn’t include Lucy. So she took on solo jobs exclusively. Always mumbling about rent and increased costs of living, and then she went away as soon as possible. She hoped that if she went on enough missios, she would forget about her troubles for a short while. If she drowned herself in complicated jobs, she wouldn’t have time to wallow.

Naturally, that wasn’t the case. She still thought about Natsu every waking second of the day, but she found slight comfort in being far away from the crime scene. Soon enough he would bring her to the guild, coax her into joining Fairy Tail, and then that would be it. Lucy would have had to be over it. But it had been months and she still cried every night. She knew that it would never mellow out, this feeling of despair and despondency. She had never ever, not even in her wildest dreams, thought that she’d live a life without Natsu by her side. There had been a before him, and a during him, but to be the only universe where she lived to see an after him, was just terrible. She loved him. So, so much. She didn’t know how to function without him. It felt so miserable, that she once caught herself thinking that Future Lucy saved Natsu in vain. She immediately regretted that thought, because of course she didn’t want Natsu dead, that would be just as bad. But she wondered if Future Lucy had done it all again if she knew how broken she would become.

There was some consolation in the fact that they were together in every other universe. It sucked that she had gotten the short straw amongst the many versions of Lucys that were out there, but at least it was she who had gotten the shortest straw. Had she learned that Edo-Lucy spent her time fighting an unrequited love she would have felt useless. She would have wanted to help her, because she hated seeing others suffer. Lucy would always pick other people’s happiness over her own. If happiness was available to everyone, she would naturally pick that option, but if it wasn’t and she would have to sacrifice her own peace of mind, then she would in a heartbeat. Plus, at least she knew that Natsu was happy in all universes. Not always happy with her, but happy nonetheless.

Every time she saw his face she felt ill. Not in a disgusted way, but in a sad way. She missed him so much. She wanted to spend more time with him – the time she had gotten wasn’t enough. They hadn’t done everything she wanted them to have done. They hadn’t gone to that café in Hargeon that opened a couple of months ago. They hadn’t seen the renovated towns that they had been to during their missions once. She wanted them to visit some old clients, especially that one lady who had wild boars pestering her plantations. Lucy had promised her that they’d visit and have some tea together. Would she have to go on her own now? Tell her that everything shattered because Natsu had found another partner? Not technically, but emotionally. It was so confusing to spend time without him. Like life wasn’t real anymore – just on pause until they got back together. Except that it wasn’t like that, and Lucy had to move on. For all she knew, Natsu probably felt like life had just begun.

Sometimes, when they both were at the guild, Lucy found her eyes drawn to him. It would have been fine if she hadn’t noticed that his eyes went to Lucy as well. For a split moment, their eyes would meet, and everything was back to normal. Sharing a small glance, a glance that said “I see you, I’m thinking about you” and that was it. Except now she noticed that he didn’t linger on her. Only for a short moment, with an empathetic look in his eyes. Then he looked away again. The connection between them had been made, and was then removed. And Lucy hated it. She hated being just another guild mate that he looked at while being lost in thought. But even more, she hated that he knew about her feelings. Even if he didn’t know exactly how she felt, he knew that she was grieving their lost friendship. She was grieving the loss of Natsu, despite him being alive and well. It was shameful that he knew, because it meant that her feelings didn’t matter at the end of the day. He knew she craved him, he knew she missed him like she missed her mother and her father, yet that pain wasn’t worth giving up on his true love. She was cast aside, left longing after what could have been.

She wondered: How could her heart get broken by a man who never even loved her? But she knew. She was in so deep when it came to Natsu. He enchanted her, she had given her heart to him and he hadn’t known what to do with it. But he kept it. Lucy would never truly be able to let him go – for her, he was the one. Anyone other than Natsu would be settling. She would eventually do exactly that, settle for the next best guy, but it pained her that Natsu was the one who kept her heart and her soul behind locked bars. She would never get those back. Whomever she was towards her new guys, it could never be as authentic as it was with Natsu. 

For her, it was unrequited love. For him, it was nothing.

Okay but the biggest thing for me that has always kept me from liking Izuocha is that I come from fairytail. I know shonen romance isn't boring. I know what it's like to see the two main leads love and fight and admire each other. And that's the thing that I always wanted for Ochako. I wanted badly for her to have what Lucy has.

And I did ship them at first because they were cute and I thought oh the hero name. The helping Deku win his entrance exam. Her having her own goals. Being broke the friendship. it seemed so much like Nalu. Better too because I could see Izuku blushing at her too.

And then someone says something about twin stars. About Izuku and Bakugou being intertwined. About win to save save to win. And then I see the second movie and my mind explodes. I reread the manga and realize what Katsuki did. Izuku was always pushing chasing looking at him. And that wasn't to say that izuocha couldn't happen but that interconnection I saw with Nalu wasn't it more with bkdk. And it kept getting worse. Ochako kept getting sidelined to better explore the relationship between Izuku and Bakugou.

Izuku never looked at her like she did him. Never thought about her like she did him. A blush or two wr got at most. But Ochako whole character started to soley revolved around her feelings towards him. She was the only one carrying the romance plot.

Mha isn't a show about romance but neither is Fairytail. And yet Lucy never got sideline in fact even with all the stuff on Zeref and Gray Lucy found herself interconnected to Natsu through her own bloodline. And they always had moments ones where he's scared of her getting hurt, of catching her from falling, of going berserk because he thought she died, of protecting her, of finishing a big villan off together, of being on missions together. Hell when he ran away shes the one that found him. When Izuku ran away bakugou found him. When Ochako was in danger Tsyu was there or any number of other heros, when she almost died Toga held her safely. Nalu gave me such a high expectation for shonen romance and female leads. So of course it's so frustrating seeing people call the obvious love intest boring when it can be anything that. To act like the female lead has to carry the romance plot and contribute nothing else. That the male lead can just walzt up to the that stupid clif and say that he loves her and that he always has when it was only ever iluded that he even thought that much about her in the last half of the war. And for her to so easily accept because when her whole arc is about her feelings for the guy isn't it only fair that they end up together.

Where is the interconnectivity, the care from him. Where is him looking at her the same way she looks up to him. How is the fanservice show better at writing a strong heroen! A strong partnership!

I'm so tried. I'm so sorry to everyone that's watch shonen and are expecting this out of female characters. That it's typical for the romance plot to be given to the girl and the big moments where I seen love intrest shine are given to the "rival." Ochako deserves better.

hello {natsuo todoroki x reader}

A/N: This is my first fic on tumblr! Wahoo!! I haven't written in a WHILE so please feel free to critique :3. This fic is inspired by the song Hello by Hawk Nelson!

Warnings: small make-out sesh

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NATSUO'S POV:

I'm sitting in the school cafeteria when I feel my phone buzz in my pocket. I pull it out to see a message from her.

"Huh?" I ask myself.

"She sent me a Spotify link," my curiosity gets the better of me as I click the link and open Spotify. "Oh, it's a playlist." I click on the first song.

"You never ever leave my mind,"

"Not bad," I think as start walking to my next class. The song keeps playing as I pass her dorm hall. "We've been friends for a while now. I haven't thought much about it but I wonder if she's trying to ask me out by sending me this." thoughts wrestle in my head as I walk a little faster.

I eventually get to class where I pull out my laptop. "Wait, she's in this class.." I remember. Now I'm nervous. Just as she walks in the next part of the song begins to play.

"Wish I could some how let you know,"

"Hey, Y/N!" I say, getting her attention. I motion her to sit next to me. She looks excited. I pause the song and put my headphones away so I can talk to her.

"Hi, Natsu," she says as she sits next to me. Her voice is smooth, like honey. "How've you been? Did you get my text?" She's beautiful too...

"I did! I started listening, though I only got through half of the first song," I say, sounding a little bummed. "Listen.. it looks like these are all love songs. Did you mean something by that..?" I ask, feeling a blush creep up my face.

"Uhm.." she starts "Actually yeah, I was thinking of a way to ask you out but was too scared to ask you straight up haha." "So she does like me..." I think to myself. I can tell she's nervous to admit that.

"So.. do you feel the same?" she asks as I realize I left her hanging. "Oh! Y-yeah. Sorry," I say as I start to blush harder. "Did you wanna... plan something?"

"I'd love that," she says excitedly. "I'm free tomorrow, this weekend, and all of next week!" I think about my plans for the rest of the week. Dinner with Shoto and Fuyumi has gotten kind of boring lately, unless dad's there. But, that just turns into a mess most of the time. I don't think Fuyumi is planning on going to see Mom this weekend either. "Tomorrow sounds great," I tell her. "What time should I come pick you up?"

"Pick me up?" she asks, giggling. "How romantic. What about 7:00?" she says as she starts to blush. "Sounds perfect," I say with a smile. Our professor walks in and begins class before we can say anything else, but we exchange smiles when he isn't looking.

After class I walk with Y/N back to her dorm. Making small talk along the way.

"So, why did you think a playlist was the best way to ask someone out?" I ask. "I'm not sure haha. I've always been a huge music nerd.. that's why I'm studying it here," she replies. "What's your favorite color?" she asks in return. "Blue, like the sea." I say, trying not to give her a dry answer. We talk about classes and professors and homework all the way to her dorm hall, where I drop her off at her dorm.

"See you tomorrow," she winks at me. I start to feel hot as I reply "Y-yeah.. see you then!" "Man, she really gets to me... I don't know how I didn't notice until now," I think as I start to walk out of the building. As I walk back to my dorm room I put my headphones in and press play on the last song that was playing.

"Every time I want to say hello, every time I want to stay, I go."

"Is this really how she feels about me?" I think as I listen. This is a nice feeling. I think I could get used to it. I walk up to my room, open the door, and fall in my bed. For the next hour or two I spend my time looking up at the ceiling thinking about her and what tomorrow will be like. I eventually fall asleep listening to the playlist she sent me.

When 6:00 rolls around, I'm too excited to sit down. I've been ready for hours so now I'm just pacing. I make my way to the bathroom to look at myself in the mirror for the fourth time. It's so weird how one moment we were just friends and now I'm getting nervous about going on a date with her. I'm not even sure where to take her. I guess I'll figure that out by the time I get to her dorm. I grab my wallet, keys, and a jacket before heading out the door.

When I pick her up at her dorm, she looks incredible. My breath hitches for a moment when I see her. She's in a blue dress. "Hi Natsuo," she says seductively. She noticed my reaction. I start to blush. "Are you ready for our date? I was thinking we could go to the restaurant across campus." "That sounds great." I tell her as I take her hand.

We get to the restaurant, get seated and order our food. We share a few plates of sushi and talk about how our classes are going. I pay for our meal before leaving the restaurant.

It's cool outside compared to the warmth of the restaurant. We walk a few blocks before Y/N stops and looks up at me. I've never seen more beautiful eyes than her's. She looks at me like she's waiting to tell me something, but she's too scared to say it. "What's wrong?" I ask her, curious. "Natsu.. can I kiss you?" Huh? Earlier she sounded so confident, like she could have taken me at any moment. Now she's nervous about kissing me? My eyes widen as I quietly say "Sure."

She practically dives on me as her lips press against mine. I catch her instinctively. Wait.. am I holding her? I open an eye to see if her feet are on the ground and sure enough, they aren't. Her lips are soft and taste like strawberry. I don't want to be the one to break the kiss so I hold her until she backs off for air. "You're really good at kissing," she giggles. "Thanks.. that was my first." I say, slowly turning red.

When I drop her off at her dorm she looks up at me again. "Tonight was nice," she said softly. "Wanna do it again sometime?" she winks at me. "Of course," I say. As she goes in for another kiss i grab her by her waist, lifting her up and holding her again. My tongue slides in her mouth and she giggles while kissing me. I bite her bottom lip and she moans. We stay like this for a minute or two before I eventually put her down to let her open her door and go inside for the night. Before she closes the door she whispers to me...

"I love you, Natsuo, goodnight."

Gruvia Fan Content Prompt Idea List

well, some people seemed interested when i said i'd make a post with a list of Gruvia fan content prompts, so I'm making it! I'll warn you, though: I don't really like the way ideas are shared on typical prompt lists so mine might not be to you guys' tastes:

AU where Juvia joined Fairy Tail first and was the one to inspire Gray to join the guild. Some of you might recognize this as a previous post of mine, where the idea is more fleshed out, but I don't mind at all if anyone else takes it as a prompt and uses the idea to write their own story.

Gruvia-centric Stone Age Omake fic. There's tons for Nalu but only one I found that's Gruvia, Learning to Love by starryfairyjedi, which is excellent but the author hasn't finished it quite yet.

Pregnancy fic. ik ik, another unoriginal idea. There are tons of these, but I think that's true for a reason. A scenario where Juvia accidentally gets pregnant forces Gray to commit in a way he avoids throughout the series. Plus also that guy just has a ton of untapped worry-wort dad potential. It's tragic, really.

Forced to live together. Who doesn't love these kinds of fics? As for why Gray and Juvia have to live together...maybe Fairy Hills got destroyed during Alvarez or by another Dark Guild, and when Gajeel offered to let Juvia stay with him, Gray stepped in to offer up his own place in a moment of irrational jealousy. There's a lot of potential for humor with Juvia's various Gray paraphernalia, plus it would be a chance for them to address feelings about their previous cohabitation.

Playing off the last one: AU where Juvia's an informant targeted by the mafia and Gray is the FBI agent tasked with protecting her. Therefore, they are forced to live together in a safe house.

Grease-esque AU. Juvia could be one of those rollerskating waitresses and Gray and Natsu could be race car drivers/rivals. Sides of other pairings would work well with this one, like if Lucy and Erza were also waitresses.

Juvia meets Edo-Greige somehow. This would be so cute! How would she wind up meeting him? Well...i don't know, lol. It'd be interesting if she wound up in Edolas accidentally and Gray had to go rescue her. In the meantime, she could interact with Edo Gray and Juvia, also...that's a moment we never really got to see in the series.

Juvia and Lyon wind up paired for a mission and Gray follows them out of jealousy.

Assassin AU where Gray's the assassin and Juvia's the target. Good potential for a steamy fight scene and ultimate cuteness when Gray refuses to kill her.

Pirate and Mermaid AU. a lot of fics have elements of this dynamic but i don't think i've seen one that's really Gruvia-centric and about the love story. would make a great oneshot or short multichapter fic imo.

Juvia's a nymph who cares all alone for her forest since the other nymphs died, until one day, an Ice Demon Slayer, injured in battle, drifts into her forest via river on a slab of wood. The forest urges her to kill him, but Juvia is unable to kill the first man she's ever seen. While she nurses him back to health, they fall in love. Lots of potential for romance/humor with the whole "Juvia's never been around people, especially men, and doesn't get personal space" thing, a bit like the Stone Age Omake idea.

MHA/BNHA AU where they meet as heroes-in-training or young pro heroes in the field.

Fake Dating. Kind of a sucker for these, ngl. Would be even better (in my personal opinion) if it was an AU so this was how they met.

UFC/MMA AU. Few different potential ideas with this one. Could be Juvia falling in love with Gray from the audience while he fights Natsu, a mixed-gender version of the UFC where Gray and Juvia fight each other, or Gray gets a crush from the audience watching Juvia fight someone (I'd personally love to read this one).

Gray and Juvia meet as kids. Would be really cute if little Gray comforted Juvia about her rain.

Robin Hood AU. The Fairy Tail ethos goes well with Robin Hood's. You could have it where Juvia serves as a knight for King John (/Jose?) but abandons the kingdom for Robin Hood's cause when she meets Gray.

If I think of more, I'll add to this list or maybe make another one! Feel free to use any of these/apply them to any ship. I'd love if you lmk you used one of them or tagged me or whatever, but if you're not comfortable with that you don't have to. I may use my own prompts one day, too, especially the Stone Age Omake ones, the nymph one, and the Edo Greige one. I'm totally fine with us having written the same idea if you are.

See also this set of romantic prompt lists. Actually, just see their master post of prompts, literally my favorite blog for this sort of thing.

Natsu Dragneel: Hogwarts AU

Natsu Dragneel is a Half-Blood wizard that was born on the 7th of July 1973 and started attending Hogwarts on the 1st of September 1984, being sorted into Gryffindor house.

He has a Ash wand with a Dragon Heartstring core.

His Patronus is a Chinese Fireball Dragon.

His favorite subject is Defense Against the Dark Arts and his least favorite is Flying.

He was the Headboy of his year.

Natsu is carefree and reckless in nature, and, despite his consistent brawls with the other members of Gryffindor house, he is a fiercely loyal and protective friend. He is willing to go down fighting for his friends, regardless of how futile it might seem. Natsu has a straightforward mind, and often tackles issues with a "hands on" approach. His solution to problems often involve violence. Even when disrespected or faced with obvious hostility, Natsu rarely ever reciprocates the feelings, and often forgoes grudge-holding. He did, however, for a short time, hold a grudge against Jellal Fernandes, but eventually forgave him and considered him an ally. He occasionally shows compassion for his enemies, such as when Cobra was betrayed by Brain. Natsu rarely exhibits any perverse tendencies towards the opposite sex, there only being two noted instances. The first is seen prior to the Triwizard Tournament, when he is seen trying to peek, along with several other of his male classmates, on the women as they bathed in the Prefect's Bathroom. The second is when Lucy comes crashing into him while nude, and he stares at her body, even groping her breasts for a moment. Natsu is rather immature, making an enemy laugh during duels, or even pulling pranks on others. That being said, it has led to foes to underestimate him and fall his tricks as well. Despite his childish side, Natsu can be responsible enough when looking after someone.

Natsu continuously tries to prove his strength to others. At various points in time, he has challenged Erza, Laxus, Mirajane, and even Gildarts (in short, all of the top students in each year), to fight him, albeit, he was beaten every single time. Despite his losses, Natsu bears them no ill will, as he considers everyone at Hogwarts to be his family. He demonstrates this attitude even towards former enemies. Natsu has even gone as far as defending Laxus from being expelled, despite him opening the Chamber of Secrets. Due to his reckless nature, Natsu's duels usually ends with widespread destruction. Natsu's love of duelling has allowed him to develop a rather strategic mind, helping him to, on various occasions, find weaknesses in his opponent's techniques, or simply weaknesses his opponents themselves possess. Natsu has also defeated his opponents with pure wit, rather than strong spells. Natsu, befitting his recklessness and love of duelling, never backs out of a duel. Natsu’s love for combat is purely for pitting all his strength against others and see who comes out on top and doesn’t like the idea of murdering people. That being said, Natsu he’ll do whatever it takes to win in serious all out war if it means securing everyone’s safety.

Natsu hates the idea of self sacrificing one’s life and has prevented those closest to from attempting so, believing it causes others more pain than good, also showcasing how much Natsu values life itself. Natsu values family above all else, stemming from the time he mysteriously lost Igneel the only family he’s known thus holds onto his current one he’s build within Gryffindor house and gets mad at anyone who do not appreciate those closest to them.

Ever since their meeting, Natsu has gotten rather close to Lucy, even being overly familiar with her, such as casually breaking into her dorm room, much to her and her roommates' annoyance. Natsu has admitted that he’s always felt comfortable around her, which he believes is due to her having a similar aura to Anna who cared for him when he was a child. Lucy clearly means a lot to Natsu, always concerned for her safety, trusts her a great deal and grateful for all the help she’s given. He gets enraged at anyone who would so much as harm her a great deal. More recently, Natsu has attempted to keep his recklessness in check as per Lucy’s advice, even when provoked into fighting by others.

Natsu was very close to Lisanna for helping him raise Happy who would become his partner and trusted best friend. Because of this, after her supposed death, no one at Hogwarts mentioned her out of respect for his feelings. However, after Lisanna's return to Hogwarts from captivity, this is no longer the case.

Out of his fellow Gryffindors, Natsu feels most antagonistic towards Gray, as the two constantly fight and bicker every chance they have since childhood. The two were even initially reluctant on being in the same house and usually acted friendly towards each other to avoid Erza’s scolding. Despite all this, they do care for each other as much as anyone in Gryffindor, Natsu has carried Gray when he’s down, even preventing Gray from sacrificing himself numerous times, even being saddened to tears. The two are shown at times to at least get along in friendly competitions.

Natsu fears Erza the most out everyone and panics if he ever gets on her bad side, yet still challenges her to duel when he can. Natsu respects Erza for her strength, saying she’s at her best when she’s strong and violent, thus gets mad at anyone who so much as brings her sadness. Natsu would go as far as defy the Ministry of Magic for Erza’s sake, such as attempting to stop Jellal’s imprisonment knowing it would’ve hurt Erza despite his own issues with him at the time.

Due to all of his trips to Romania as a kid, Natsu suffers from motion sickness. Natsu becomes sick from riding on any form of transportation, even if the transportation happens to be other people, as shown when he was carried by Lucy. This, however, does not apply to dragons, as he considers them family, not transportation. Natsu can become sick from looking at, or simply thinking about, any form of transportation. In spite of his naturally dense nature, Natsu is quite perceptive and understanding of his friend's feelings. After his O.W.L.S. in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Natsu came to understand and accept fear, and has used this acceptance to help his friends and himself emotionally grow. Prior to this event, Erza’s wrath (albeit for comic relief), transportation, and the Ministry of Magic were the only things that Natsu feared.

Day Four: Delirium

Juvia walked into the guild hall with a delighted smile on her face. She was humming, and there was a pep in her step, as she walked up to the bar to speak with Mirajane before making her way around the counter toward the kitchen. Cana took a swig from her bottle of wine and lifted a brow, watching as her blue-haired friend disappeared into the kitchen.

“What’s got Juvia so chipper? The weather’s shit today?” she asked.

Gajeel and Levy sat across from her, and they glanced at one another before Levy spoke. “Apparently Gray has a pretty bad fever. He’s in the infirmary now.”

That left Cana with more questions than answers. She knit her brows together in confusion. “Then why the hell does she look so happy? Normally, Juvia would be freaking out about something like that. ‘My beloved this, my beloved that.’”

Levy clicked her tongue to the roof of her mouth and set down the book she had been reading. “She was at first,” she told Cana. “But apparently Gray is so delirious that he’s become really clingy and needy. Porlyusica checked him out and said he would be fine after some rest.”

Gajeel nodded with an eyeroll. “I went in there earlier and ice boy had his arms around Juvia’s waist, crying for her not to leave. It was pretty gross.”

Cana smirked. “I would have loved to have seen that! Damn, Juvia’s gotta be in heaven right about now.” She slapped the table and took another drink of her wine. A crying, whiney Gray Fullbuster sounded like a sight to behold. If Natsu was around to see it, he would never let the ice wizard live it down.

“I wouldn’t go in there,” Levy urged.

“Why not?” asked Cana.

“You know how Juvia gets about Gray. She was ready to take our heads off when we were in there earlier. She doesn’t want anyone but herself to see Gray in such a vulnerable state. We might fall in love with him.”

Juvia’s obsession with Gray was wild, and so was the way she convinced herself that everyone else was in love with him too. Cana honestly found it a little impressive. She set her bottle down on the table and sighed, leaning back into the bench. “Damn. There’s no way I’m risking my life by fighting Juvia, but I would have loved to seen Gray being a crybaby. Does an ice wizard cry frozen tears?”

She laughed.

“Did someone say Gray?”

Cana jumped, surprised to see Juvia standing behind her with a tray full of food. All three of them shook their heads. “Nope. No one was talking about Gray here.”

“Strange,” muttered Juvia. “I could have sworn I heard my beloved’s name.” She pursed her lips. “Well then, I best get back to him. I can’t certainly serve him cold food.”

Juvia turned away to head for the infirmary and Cana let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding. “Why the hell didn’t you tell me she was there?”

Gajeel and Levy shared a glance. “She came out of nowhere,” said Levy. “I never saw her coming.”

“Me neither,” said Gajeel.

[aranarumei]

your fairy tail posts got me into it, so I gotta ask: favorite ships?

um. my condolences? well i'm joking—despite my critiques of it i still love the thing dearly and am extremely fond of a lot of the characters. I hope you’ve had fun with it too! as for ships... my tastes have changed over the years while also not? i've become really into like. friendships lately, yknow, or things where the dynamic between the two is more important than it being strictly platonic of romantic. so I would say i'm open to a lot of them. as for the ones i tend to go for, they tend to be like. super conventional. whatever i was into years ago, but now i just have a lot of extra headcanons about it. the thing for me is that a lot of the "big" fairy tail ships have like. really good setup, and shoddy execution. also this got long bc I rambled. sorry

i like natsu & lucy because i want them to be best friends and sometimes being best friends is a romance as well... and that starts out really strong in canon until it gets dragged on into just. bad fanservice. like i dont need natsu to see lucy when she's naked. i want them to have an emotional conversation or just work together as a team.

i like gray & juvia a lot, which i know is contentious, but i think they have a genuinely great setup (juvia's someone who's got wild ideas about love, and immediately falls for this guy, who's not into her at all but is also just a better person than any romantic attachments she's had before, and then she's figuring out herself and her place in fairy tail over time. the first two big juvia moments the show has after her fight is when she does a unison raid with lucy and when she refuses to fight cana. her initial feelings towards gray are also... quite shy? like she definitely does follow him around a bit but i think half of that is bc she wants to join fairy tail) and then it just doesn’t resolve well (over time she gets more pushy in a way that reads as jokey but is also uncomfortable, and her character kind of stops being about anything but gray) I’d love to see a version of gray & juvia where gray’s non-interest in her is actually beneficial for her, because she’s not rushing into something with high, perhaps fragile emotions, and she gets to grow as someone outside of gray, and juvia’s protectiveness of gray is done in a way where she’s not pushing him to like her, but rather protecting him just because that’s what someone who loves him would do. this is great for juvia, and also great for gray, who probably could use having someone to check in on him every once in a while. bring them into being seriously friends without pushing romance, and then we could maybe try a romance. it would be slow burn as hell. it would be delightful and entirely to my taste. I have so many wips abt this.

related to that, I like juvia a lot so gajeel & juvia’s relationship as well as lucy & juvia’s relationship is really fun to me. gajeel and juvia especially I would loveeee to dive into their friendship. I think they have a shared experience in phantom lord but also weren’t friends at the time and had a lot of different things going on, so it’s neat that they are still like. looking out for each other because of that past.

jellal & erza have great setup, it’s amazing drama and I think it just. works. completely. after the 7-year timeskip I think it loses some steam, and then it never really recovers in terms of having a sense of weight and depth. I am nonetheless fond of it.

what else… I am really into sting/rogue, I’ve got a fic for that one, and I like freed/laxus a lot, too. I’ll be the first to admit that in canon, freed & laxus don’t have that many meaningful interactions (freed is obsessed with him in a sort of like. comical unrequited crush way bc haha, gay people) and laxus cares for everyone in the raijinshuu pretty equally it feels. However. the initial arc? the fantasia arc? I think the raijinshuu are at their best there, and I wish they had gotten developed into smthing more interesting. once again I have a lot of headcanons.

i think gajeel & levy probably has the smoothest execution of any relationship, but kind of wish levy's character had a bit... More to her? like she's very smart but lucy also tends to do a lot of the smart stuff, and she knows runes but freed is clearly the runes guy, and i just wish we could've gotten more than that? I’ve been messing around with headcanons relating to her recently…

that’s the thing with a lot of fairy tail ships. I think a lot of the character relationships have really interesting ways of looking at them bc there’s just so many characters I like. like I think gray & erza’s relationship is really neat. I wish we’d gotten to see more of gray & cana as friends… it’s so cool that gray & loke are friends to the point that he’s the guy he picks for S-class trials… I like lucy & loke’s relationship a lot (like, the fact he joins gray for those trials is a display of how free he is even while she has his key, and also the loke mini-arc is one of my all time favs). I love the deal with the whole strauss siblings and would’ve been interested in seeing freed & mira interact some more. I don’t really care about it in canon but I think elfman & evergreen is actually a really interesting setup, since they’ve both got this sense of… vanity about them? (evergreen wants to be titania, queen of the fairies, and elfman valorizes manliness. there’s interesting places to take that!). raijinshuu friendship, I’m really into that, like, laxus feels like such a Solo guy and yet he willingly carts around a team with him, and also everyone in that team have kind of freaky eye powers, as far as I can tell. what’s that about. did u upturn your nose at fairy tail’s misfit guild while hanging with a misfit crew? it's a team that characterizes laxus well… I know he’s technically not Part of the raijinshuu team but Cmon he literally is.

all that to say. you could probably sell me on a lot of ships. but natsu/lucy, gray/juvia, sting/rogue, and freed/laxus are probablyyyy the ones I think about most and actively write for (and don’t publish LOL. I need to actually finish one of these things, but the issue is I’ve built so many headcanons I feel weird abt it sometimes. I would loveeee to talk abt them sometime tho)

but even saying that, a lot of the stuff I write reads very ambiguously platonic, so like. if I got sold on something, I’d probably get into it.

anyways anon ty for the question! i love chatting

[nabateaprodigy]

Please may I have a Fairy tail scenario of when a fangirl laced your drink with a love potion so only your love would be directed at her and it was obvious to Gray that something was clearly different about you (you are Gray Fullbuster's younger twin brother who is a ice mage and a Fairy tail S class wizard and he is a kind young man and everything and you are Juvia Lockser's loving boyfriend) when you had that strange look on your face, reminding him of a love sick teenager and imagine his surprise when you asked him to introduce you to a girl who went by the name of Rebecca Frey..didn't you not realise that you already had a girlfriend who went by the name of Juvia Lockser?. It was suddenly clear why to Gray of why you were behaving like that when he basically sniffed your drink and it smelt sickly sweet, laced with love potion and the chocolate bar was definitely laced with that too in the guild. Gray told you that you should be thankful that Juvia was on a job currently...she would be absolutely heartbroken if she found out that you were really in love with someone else when Gray and the rest of Team Natsu had to help you on the way to Porlylusica's place so she could lift the love potion effects off you..and thankfully Porlylusica let Team Natsu stay for understandable reasons as it didn't help when you randomly flirted with Porlylusica asking if she wanted a drink or you basically asked "Hello darling, fancy a drink?" *Happy had to muffle his laughter at what you said* . You were absolutely mortified (you were finally back to normal) when Porlylusica finally gave you something to help lift the love potion effects off you and you asked Team Natsu when all of you were finally kicked out of Porlylusica's home.."Please don't tell me that I was acting embarrassing.." and Team Natsu were polite enough to make excuses about having to help you all the way to Porlylusica's home and not mention the love potion incident until Happy split that part of the news of you being affected by love potion and how you asked your older twin to introduce you to Rebecca Frey and everything..you couldn't believe it and you were bloody thankful that Juvia was on a Job but you were absolutely mortified at how you behaved and you apologised for causing them trouble..

https://youtu.be/y8wWornkZT8 (to help you with the scenario better..Ron is the one affected by the love potion..excluding the part when he was poisoned)

Love At First Drink?

Series: Fairy Tail.

Characters: Gray and Porlyusica.

Genre: Fluff/Crack.

Proofread: Yes.

Reader: Male.

Notes: Your drink was laced with a love potion.

You were currently in the Fairy Tail Guild Hall more specifically at the bar with your brother Gray having a few drinks. The both of you had just recently finished a difficult quest together and wanted to celebrate! So the both of you were at the bar enjoying the food and drinks.

Your girlfriend Juvia was also one of the waitresses on duty today serving the drinks and food to the members of Fairy Tail. Of course, this includes you as well and any time you would order something she'd also kiss you! Right, you and Gray were just discussing the quest you had finished not too long ago.

It took multiple weeks and was filled with many difficult battles against fearsome monsters. But as the brotherly duo nothing could stop the two of you! With both your teamwork and skill both of you were unstoppable!

With a drink in hand, you were about to take another sip before someone tapped you on the shoulder. You turned around to see who it was and it was one of your fangirls. You paid her no mind before telling her to run along.

However, before she did she slipped something into your drink without you knowing. The girl left gigging to herself confident her plan would be successful. What was this plan? Well, it was to make you fall in love with her!

You had told her multiple times you had a girlfriend and that you weren't interested. However, she didn't seem to listen and would always make advances on you. She made you feel very uncomfortable so you always did your best to avoid her.

Now taking another slip of your drink you began to feel slightly odd. You felt warm and fuzzy you felt in love but not for the one you remember. But instead for someone else you fell in love with Rebecca Frey the fangirl you spoke to not all that long ago.

You stood up from your seat in search of her to see where she was so you could tell her how much you loved her. Noticing this odd behavior out of completely nowhere Gray questioned you. "Hey man what's wrong?" Gray asked.

You turned to look at him with a big smile on your face and your eyes almost looked like they had hearts in them. You responded but it was not what Gray was expecting. "I'm looking for my girlfriend Rebecca Frey!" You spoke happily.

Right away Gray knew something was off I mean who even was this Rebecca Frey anyway? Noticing the strange look on your face Gray decided to check your drink. He had noticed it was now a color pink and had a strange smell.

Gray concluded that someone had laced your dink and that was why you were acting like this. Discarding the drink so no one else would be able to drink it. Gray took your hand and began to lead you out of the Guild Hall before Juvia could see you in this state.

"Hey, where are you taking me? I need to find my love, Rebecca Frey!" You spoke as Gray dragged you out. "Shut up and just follow me."

If there was one person who could help you with the state you're in he knew who it was. It was Porlyusica and so he headed out to her house in the woods. After some time he arrived and knocked on her door.

"Yes?" The door and Porlyusica spoke in response to the knock. "Hey Porlyusica sorry to bother but I need your help. My brother here got his drink laced with a love potion. Will you be able to help?"

Gray spoke and Porlyusica took a moment to observe your condition. "Yes now bring him inside," Porlyusica spoke as she invited the both of you in. You now paying attention put your gaze on Porlyusica and spoke.

"Hey darling fancy a drink?" You spoke with a smirk on your face sure that you won her over. "Y/N! Stop it!" Gray said hitting you on the head. "Ow!" You said In response.

"..." Porlyusica gave no response and only looked more annoyed after you said that. "Here drink this," Porlyusica spoke handing you a bottle.

You happily accepted the drink and soon after began to feel sleepy. You then got into one of the beds and were soon fast asleep. "He will be fine by the morning the effects will wear off by then."

Porlyusica spoke turning to face Gray. "Thanks for this Porlyusica," Gray spoke now turning to look at your sleeping form. After some time it was soon morning.

You woke up and sat up in the bed rubbing your eyes. "Huh, where am I what happened?" You spoke looking around and seeing Gray and Porlyusica they decided not to tell you about last night. "Nothing don't worry Y/N good to have the old you back," Gray spoke with a smile.

[mochiwrites]

Lucy... i'm love her. from like the moment i saw her i was sure i wasn't gonna like her but then more and more of her character was revealed and i just fell in love.

Like she's so hard-working and started her journey in the first place to prove to herself that she's independent and hard-working and that she's worth it. everytime she found a new key she worked hard to develop a bond with the spirit because she knew that not all of them would be treated right y other holders (as proven by Leo's fears and avoidance at first) but she fights for not only her friends but her keys too!!!! like!!!! Who else (besides yukino) does that!!!!!!!!! We've seen how other holders treat their keys and it's like "oh wow wait a min, lucy was onto something" and she learned her compassion from her mom and instead of squashing it like her dad wanted she made it flourish!!!!!! And her dad!!! He was working on changing himself and she didn't have to forgive him at all, but she did and she healed from it. there's sm more but i feel like i've gone on for long enough but i'd love to hear your input too!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

listen 12 year mochi who didn't know she was a lesbian at the time was Instantly in love with lucy (young mochi the signs were there you loveable fool) and she was Onto something.

I think what I love a lot about lucy is the fact that unlike in a lot of shounen anime, she wasn't forced into a relationship with natsu. like don't get me wrong, I'd love for her and natsu to finally get their shit together however. there's been so many animes where the lead girl fell for the lead guy and confessed their feelings and she turned into this really flat character (I'm not gonna point fingers *coughs swordartonline coughs*)

like does lucy fall for natsu? yes. but it feels so natural and gradual over the course of the series. but it also isn't her 1 (one) character trait y'know??? what mashima does really well with lucy is that he establishes her as her own character, and she is a strong character.

she runs away from home at like 16, literally throws her dad's money aside, and leaves her rich and cushiony life to make something of herself! she runs away and works to establish her own life (and it makes sense why she freaks about money so much, she's literally lived on her own and that apartment is her's, a home she made herself, a home she worked hard to achieve) and it takes a lot of guts to do that, especially as someone who grew up very sheltered.

at the start of the series, lucy may not be a character who can meet her guildmates on the same level of physical strength, but she has the strongest heart out of everyone. in every situation we see her in, her heart is where she really shines and it makes me melt so much.

where lucy may lack in physical strength (at first, because we do see her become physically stronger and WOW IM GAY AS FUCK), she makes up for it with her very big heart and the bonds she makes with the people around her and UGH!!!!!!!!!

not even lying I think about her saving loke literally all the time. it's such an emotional scene and it is SO fucking well done like holy hell. lucy hardly even knows loke, he's flirted with her a couple of times, he was kind of an ass one or twice (though tbf luce didn't know what was going on), and yet here she is, holding him as he's slowly disappearing and risking her own life to save him and SHE'S DEFENDING HIM. IN FRONT OF THE CELESTIAL SPIRIT KING. SHE'S CALLING HIM STACHE FACE.

she was ready to sacrifice it all for loke.

and she is so loving to her celestial spirits. you can tell how much she loves all of them, and how much they all mean to her. hell, she's literally going on a journey to find aquarius' key!!!!! that is her MAIN goal in 100yrsq and it breaks me. I sobbed like a baby when she broke aquarius' key. like that DESTROYED me. aquarius is probably the most important bond she has because aquarius was layla's key and she watched lucy grow up and GODDDDDDD that scene breaks me. BUT AGAIN. IT JUST SHOWS THAT LUCY IS READY TO RISK IT ALL TO SAVE HER LOVED ONES AND AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lucy's character is just so. she is SO important to me. I love her development. and I think a lot of people who hate lucy let the fanservice ( >:( stop treating my girl like that I stg ) and exaggerated character moments get in the way of their view of her. so many people are quick to say that she's weak because of her magic and I. do not think people realize that being strong isn't just something physical. they also forget that lucy lived a very sheltered life before joining fairy tail, so of course she's not going to be on the same level as say erza or wendy or mirajane. she has to work for it, and she does!

she has soooo many powerful moments, like the oracion seis arc??? bro she literally won gemini because angel treated them like shit and her compassion, her heart is what swayed them. I think they even said they wanted to form a contract with her too. aND THE GRAND MAGIC GAMES???? DO I EVEN HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE GRAND MAGIC GAMES ARC. BECAUSE I CAN. AND THIS POST WILL GET SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER. BUT I SO CAN.

future lucy. fucking future lucy. LOUD YELLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will contain myself but COME ON. THE ENTIRITY OF THE GRAND MAGIC GAMES ARC IS SUCH A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW STRONG AND WONDERFUL LUCY IS???????

also. key of the starry sky arc. like I. HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I love lucy so fucking much man. despite fairy tail's many flaws, she really is a wonderfully written character who can stand on her own without natsu (and that's a whole other post because I can talk about those two for FOREVER) and gah. I love her. she's so strong. my wife. beloved.

I Will Become Your Light (All For You)

by Aquattarius_Rain

As they swayed together for a few more minutes, Jellal spoke softly, “I think there’s someone else waiting for you,” Erza heard soft footsteps behind her. As the blue-haired man stepped back, she turned to see-

“Mira?”

The white-haired girl was wearing the same beach dress from the night before, a smile on her face, “Hey, sweetheart,” She said, holding her hand out, “I think I deserve a dance with you as well. As long as you don’t mind?” She looked over Erza’s shoulder at Jellal.

To Erza’s surprise, Jellal nodded before moving away, “Of course. Whatever makes Erza happy is good for me,” He moved away to sit on the sand, watching them.

Mirajane looked back at Erza, “Well? May I have the honor of dancing with you, Fairy Queen Titania?” She asked in a mimicry of the night before.

Erza would have had to have been an idiot to say no.

7 and 20 for the fic rec meme? For Fairy Tail and Haikyuu fandom possibly? 😊

Hey! Thank you for the ask!

7. 💯 A fic that makes you think #writergoals

[under the cut because I had to quote my favourite bits]

I've mostly read haikyuu and other fandoms in the last two years so it's been a long time since I've properly dived into fairy tail fanfics, therefore, I'm sure I'll be forgetting some great ones. 😭 But that aside,

Fairy Tail:

from the dark, into the light by valdera (@aranarumei)

The thought of how much he loves the person in front of him curves and fits along Sting’s heart like it was always meant to be there. He supposes that it, in some form, has always been there. Rogue is the forgiving, soft dark that he falls into without reservation. Rogue is the laugh that warms his heart on a winter day. Rogue is the reason he’s leading Sabertooth. Rogue is what it means to be part of the Twin Dragons, what it means to give your heart to someone else’s hands.

The sheer beauty of it!! I've gushed about this before and I'll do it again because the writing is gorgeous and the prose really made me fall for stingue even more.

a season of becoming by splendidlyimperfect (@splendidlyimperfect)

You know it’s just a trick of the light, but you swear you can see Natsu’s face change in the dim flame of the candle. It flickers across his cheeks and reflects the dark of his eyes, and he looks like the person he wants to be.

You wish you could be happy for him, but you can’t feel anything but a raw, stinging sense of not being quite right. When Natsu reaches out for your hand and slips his fingers between yours, you shift closer to him, and he wordlessly wraps his arm around you. You both sit for a long time in the dark, staring at the flame and the dirt and the buried pieces. It hurts because you want to let go, too. You want to leave this ache behind, burn it, suffocate it with wet earth so you can smile again.

You want to change so badly, but you don’t know how, because you don’t know what you want to become.

I am always a sucker for second person POV because I think it has great potential when done right. The style of this fic is so beautiful and vivid that reading it always leaves me in awe.

Haikyuu:

*rattles my cage* Oh my god, so many!! I could go on and on but I'll hold back my rambling and state a few of them (because narrowing it down to one is impossible)

Chasing Paper Suns by carafin

At the age of twenty-one, Oikawa burns with the dogged determination of a dying star puttering through its terminal trajectory, and Iwaizumi learns, a little too late, that the corollary of incandescence is self-immolation.

home by gumsparkle

They hold hands on the walk home, quiet. Atsumu looks at him and sees bright-boy, boy-who-cries-sometimes, boy-who-does-what-needs-to-be-done, but most of all, he sees a boy he wants to love wholly. 

Everything, I’ll give you everything. The boy I know, the boy I have yet to learn, and the boy you will become. I’ll give you everything gold. Rusted-over or gleaming, I’ll give you everything. 

dog days by devote

He thinks about the ball, arcing through the raw light of daybreak; the hands, reaching up to cradle it; the boy, sculpting himself into something untouchable.

chasing gold by skiecas

Emotion wells up in Hajime’s chest, fills him up to the brim. Stabs his eyes. God, god. He wishes Oikawa were here right now. Look at this, he wants to tell him. Look how many people have fallen for you.

Oikawa’s no stranger to fans and fangirls, but this—this is different. This is fans on a mightier, global scale. This is karmic reward, for all those years he tried and tried and tried, and always fell one step short of greatness. This is getting on a plane at the age of nineteen, flying continents away from home, relearning everything he thought he knew about his own talent, his own worth, and coming back to carve a place for himself into the margins of something great.

This is so cute that every time I reread this I love the brotp of Laxus and Lisanna more. I would easily read 100k of this and Asa'a writing. <3

all i think about now - pixies “i try to think about tomorrow

but i always think about the past

about the things that didn't last

if i could go to the beginning

then for sure i would be another way

make it better for today

if i could go to the beginning

i would be another way

make it better for today

remember when we were happy?

if i'm late can i thank you now?”

andromeda - weyes blood “treat me right

i'm still a good man's daughter

let me in if i break

and be quiet if i shatter

getting tired of looking

you know that i hate the game

don't wanna waste any more time

you know i didn't hold it up

love is calling

it's time to give to you

something you can hold onto

i dare you try”

back to the old house - the smiths “when you cycled by, here began all my dreams

the saddest thing i've ever seen

and you never knew

how much i really liked you

because i never even told you

oh, and i meant to

are you still there?”

bag of bones - mitski “fluorescent store lights, you shine through the night

illuminate my pores and you tear me apart

mercy on me, would you please spare me tonight?

i'm tired of this searching, would you let me let go?

i know my room is a mess, over and over again

i tell myself i'll clean tomorrow

just move the stuff up off the bed and do what you came here to do

but first open up a window for me

and let the cool air in, feel the night slip in

as it softly glides along your back

and i hope you leave right before the sun comes up

so i can watch it alone”

best person you know - lowertown “do you believe in god, or anything at all?

what morals do you stand by?

have your standards started to fall?

do you believe in god?

what makes you build yourself so high?

can't see you anymore

it's almost like the features of your face are indescribable

eat the shit that you've made

go sit in that grave, the one that you've dug for yourself

i don't care, your body isn't mine

you no longer mine”

between the bars - elliot smith “drink up baby, look at the stars

i'll kiss you again, between the bars

where i'm seeing you there with your hands in the air

waiting to finally be caught

drink up one more time, and i'll make you mine

keep you apart, deep in my heart

separate from the rest, where i like you the best

and keep the things you forgot

people you've been before

that you don't want around anymore

that push and shove and won't bend to your will

i'll keep them still”

black star - radiohead “troubled words of a troubled mind

i try to understand what is eating you

i try to stay awake, but it's 58 hours

since that i last slept with you

what are we coming to?

i just don't know anymore”

call it fate, call it karma - the strokes “can i waste all your time here on the sidewalk?

can i stand in your light, just for a while?

i've waited around to wait in a room

having a hard time watching you (watching you)

i need someone

i need someone”

call me - rainlord (feat. .keshi) “say you'll call me baby

tell me you'll be okay

if i leave you alone today

i'm better than this

you're better than this

we're better than this

oh god, we're better than this

why do it like this?

why do we do it like this?”

ceilings - lizzy mcalpine “bedsheets, no clothes

touch me like nobody else does

lovely to just lay here with you

you're kinda cute, and i would say all of this

but i don't wanna ruin the moment

lovely to sit between comfort and chaos

but it's over

then you're driving me home

and it kinda comes out

as i get up to go

you kiss me in your car

and it feels like the start of a movie i've seen before”

class of 2013 - mitski “mom, would you wash my back?

this once, and then we can forget

and i'll leave what i'm chasing

for the other girls to pursue

mom, am i still young?

can i dream for a few months more?”

the comfort of a laugh track - roar “if you could only see me now

i know i'd disappoint somehow

i'm stuck inside a fantasy

where i could be all you would need

will i live in shame of

the things in the past that i should have done for you?

and is it possible to

forgive all the ignorant ones if they're just too young?

fake love, yeah, you know you'll be truly missed

fake love must be some kind of abstinence

let's not make much more out of all of this

let's not, but we still can pretend we did”

cupid - jack stauber “how can cupid?

how could you be so cruel?

how can cupid?

how could you be so?

oh, circumcise my love for you (wah, wah, wah, wah)

it's far too vapid and aimless (wah, wah, wah, wah)

i wanna be painless (wah, wah, wah, wah)

love soldier, i want closure (wah, wah)

and a dollar for the bus back home”

dagger - slowdive “the world is full of noise yeah

i hear it all the time

and me i am your dagger

you know i am your wound

i thought i heard you whisper

it happens all the time

i thought i heard you whisper

it happens all the time

she whispers while i'm sleeping

"i love you when you smile"

i didn't really lose you

i just lost it for a while”

deep sea - snail mail “die, my love

breathe in twos and fours

to know what's worth breathing for

some days it's easier than falling asleep

and we can be anyone

it took so long to know someone like you

and age in the dying sun

wake only to bathe in greens and blues”

duvet - boa  “and you don't seem the lying kind

a shame that i can read your mind

and all the things that i read there

candle lit smile that we both share

and you know i don't mean to hurt you

but you know that it means so much

and you don't even feel a thing

i am falling

i am fading

i am drowning

help me to breathe”

fear - current joys “it's so hard to stop the rain

it's so hard to stop

starts out gold, but never stays

the neon takes my breath away

and now i feel it in my veins

but i don't want to be afraid

i don't want to live this way

i don't want you to leave”

first love/late spring - mitski “and i was so young when i behaved 25

yet now, i find i've grown into a tall child

and i don't wanna go home

let me walk to the top of the big night sky

please, hurry, leave me, i can't breathe

please don't say you love me”

funeral - phoebe bridgers “and last night i blacked out in my car

and i woke up in my childhood bed

wishing i was someone else, feeling sorry for myself

when i remembered someone's kid is dead

jesus christ, i'm so blue all the time

and that's just how i feel

always have and i always will

i always have and always will

and it's 4 am, again

and i'm doing nothing again”

girl - salvia palth “when you're down, when you're down

yeah, you scare me, the nicest person

i will wait, i will wait

dali said that you want me also

will you say, will you say?

i thought no one would think about me

but it's not surprising that

you thought about me

i thought you'd feel like an ocean, all reactive

and lucid in emotion, why'd you think about me?”

goodbye, my danish sweetheart - mitski “there's some kind of burning inside me

it's kept me from falling apart

and i'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart

but it's kept me from falling apart

now here i lay as i wonder about you

would you just tell me what i'm meant to do?

'cause i've waited and watered my heart 'til it grew

you can see how it's blossomed for you

and i don't blame you

if you want to bury me in your memory

i'm not the girl i ought to be, but

maybe when you tell your friends

you can tell them what you saw in me

and not the way i am”

how to disappear completely - radiohead “in a little while

i'll be gone

the moment's already passed

yeah, it's gone

and i'm not here

this isn't happening”

hurts me too - faye webster “i hate that feeling at night

when i thought my eyes were closed

but they were open the whole time

it was just too dark to know

and what am i 'posed to do when

my dad cries in front of me?

do i just close my eyes and

pretend like i didn't see?”

i know it’s over - the smiths “i know it's over and it never really began

but in my heart it was so real

and you even spoke to me and said

"if you're so funny

then why are you on your own tonight?

and if you're so clever

then why are you on your own tonight?

if you're so very entertaining

then why are you on your own tonight?

if you're so very good looking

why do you sleep alone tonight?"”

& 

“love is natural and real

but not for you, my love

not tonight, my love

love is natural and real

but not for such as you and i

my love”

&

“oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head

oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head

oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head

oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head”

i’m yours tonight - bloodwitch “at last i see you

on high

come down upon me from the sky

show no mercy, my life

i'm yours tonight

i'm waiting, for you to show me, a higher love

don't spare me from the truth

i'm ready”

jigsaw falling into place - radiohead “before you run away from me

before you're lost between the notes

the beat goes round and round

the beat goes round and round

i never really got there

i just pretended that i had

words are blunt instruments

words are sawed off shotguns

come on and let it out”

just - radiohead “one day he'll get to you

and teach you how to be a holy cow

you do it to yourself, you do

and that's what really hurts

is that you do it to yourself, just you

you and no one else

you do it to yourself

you do it to yourself”

kimochi warui - car seat headrest “and i will not go to heaven

and i will not go to hell

i have no faith in death

to be anything at all

(i feel sick)

(i don't feel well)

(what a disgusting feeling)

(i don't like this feeling)

(how disgusting)

(this feeling sucks)

some of these things are symptoms

and some of these are being human

and now, i'm torn between (and now, i'm torn between)

trying to be a better man (trying to be a better man)

and trying to accept the man i am”

la lune - billie marten “breaking my back in the heart of this land

feet above water and softened in sand

i could have wanted any part of this

but i find that heat is too harsh on the skin

drowning in light, need the cold to sink in to my soul

my soul

ignore signs of change no more

i come back again, i am flawed”

last flowers - radiohead “'cause i can't face the evening straight

and you can’t offer me escape

houses move and houses speak

if you take me there you'll get relief, relief

relief, relief

relief, relief

it's too much

too bright, too powerful

too much

too bright, too powerful”

last words of a shooting star - mitski “i always wanted to die clean and pretty

but i'd be too busy on working days

so i am relieved that the turbulence wasn't forecasted

i couldn't have changed anyways

i am relieved that i'd left my room tidy

goodbye”

lavender blood - fox academy “lavender is always running through my blood

i've had enough, i'm cold and it is dusk

turn into dust, it's dripping from my gums

it's not enough”

love like you - rebecca sugar “i always thought i might be bad

now i'm sure that it's true

'cause i think you're so good

and i'm nothing like you

look at you go

i just adore you

i wish that i knew

what makes you think i'm so special”

no distance left to run - blur “when you see me

please, turn your back and walk away

i don't wanna see you

'cause i know the dreams that you keep

that's where we meet

when you're coming down

think of me here

i got no distance left to run”

no surprises - radiohead “this is my final fit

my final bellyache with

no alarms and no surprises

no alarms and no surprises

no alarms and no surprises, please

such a pretty house

and such a pretty garden

no alarms and no surprises

no alarms and no surprises

no alarms and no surprises, please”

numb - men i trust “hon'

please forgive me if i ever did you wrong

i'll be your candle; burn me upside down

from now on, i won't sleep on my arms

numb

is how i feel deep inside my soul

need to feel that i am on the line

i'm sorry that i dragged you down my way”

pink in the night - mitski “i glow pink in the night in my room

i've been blossoming alone over you

and i hear my heart breaking tonight

i hear my heart breaking tonight

do you hear it too?

it's like a summer shower

with every drop of rain singing

"i love you, i love you, i love you

i love you, i love you, i love you

i love you, i love you, i love you!"

race - alex g  “cause you think the brains in your head are worth

breathing this smoke and itchy throats and being happy

and i could be your man all day

and you could look inside my brain and see this one thing

but then it disappears like smoke and you're alone

i forget

how to play

the game

everyone

wants to come

along

i don't know

where you are”

real men - mitski “real men don't need other people

and real men suck it in

real men don't flinch or bleed in public

oh, i think i'm a real man

little boys cry and look around for comfort

and always get what they want

little boys see toys and say, "i can take that!"

oh, you are my little boy”

rocky horror - billy cobb “staying up late.

i should go to sleep.

it's tuesday but i can't stop thinking of your skin.

i've been known to be a hopeless no good nobody and they're right.

i know your eyes can see right through me,

but believe me, it's my pleasure.

i'm staying watching rocky horror.

you know i love that movie.

i love the way you grab my heart.

like it's a gun.

fire away.”

saint bernard - lincoln “saint bernard sits at the top of the driveway

you always said how you loved dogs

i don't know if i count

but i'm trying my best

when i'm howling and barking these songs”

september come take this heart away - carrisa’s wierd “all of these windows

bring in the cold air

i hope you have a coat

to keep you warm

warmer than those last times we spoke

warmer than the last words we said

i'm sure the wind blows gently on you now

i hope that nothing will ever remind you of me

glue that faded photo on a worn out journal page

it reads september come, please take this heart away”

show you a body - haley heynderickx “i am letting you go

i am letting you go awry

it was more than a race

more than the wind

chasing the flood

you opened the gate

and fate is a sundress

ripped at the thigh

thigh high and safety net

swarmed by the hornets' nest

to cover my eyes

it was more a mirage

in sickness and health

i showed you a body

like a cluttered garage

i am humbled by breaking down”

snow - ricky montgomery “summer's over, love had left her

screaming at the screen

oh, and it's understood that the both of us are no good

i'll always be that short little gloat

always clearing his throat like he ever had something to say

and i'll say

when i go, bury me six feet in snow

here we are wasting our chances for the last time

and when we go, i'll try not to be so slow

skeletons, skeletons, what do we have here

hiding from the mirror?

say it once, say it twice, try to be nice

well, let's not lose ourselves”

some things cosmic - angel olsen  “the things that you said

i felt my soul

rise up from my body

when i look into your blue eyes

if cosmic force is real at all

it's come between you and i

i want to be naked

i don't mean my body

i don't need my body

i'm floating away”

so you wanna be a superhero - carissa’s wierd “long look in the mirror

just looks back so blankly

you were right: i can't do this

i'm going crazy, it's fine by me

now you can see

how much i've become empty

i might be leaving soon

i might be leaving soon

i might be leaving soon

my dreams are full of what's not real

i'll fly away and save the world

i'll make you proud someday

i just won't be around to see your face

my life is full of what's not here

i'll go away and save myself

i'll make you proud someday

i just won't be around to see your face”

true love waits - radiohead “i'm not living

i'm just killing time

your tiny hands

your crazy kitten smile

just don't leave

don't leave

and true love waits

in haunted attics

and true love lives

on lollipops and crisps

just don't leave

don't leave”

unlucky - lunar vacation “see you in the street

start to wonder deeply

if i changed how i was

how would everyone view me?

in my room

i remember you said

if you cross that line, you may lose more than you'd bet

so unlucky

you're in love and i'm unlucky”

vanilla baby - billie marten “today, i feel close to ill

it seems to be alright

steady hands and steady feet

i push you far behind

miles to go, i'm drifting slow

this wholesome life of mine

mother told us not to go

no fingers in the fire

alright

i am only as good as you want me to be

i don't pick up the phone if i don't want to speak

i am only as good as you want me to be

i don't know what i'm doing”

we’ll never have sex - leith ross “depollute me, pretty baby

suck the rot right out of my bloodstream

oh, dilute me, gentle angel

water down what i call being grateful

oh, you kissed me just to kiss me

not to take me home

it was simple, it was sweetness

it was good to know”

worldstar money (interlude) - joji “i looked at you and said, oh-oh-oh

don't hate me, am i crazy?

so tenderly you watch me burn, you watch me burn, oh

so tell me, am i crazy?

'cause i do, 'cause i do

'cause i do, 'cause i do

'cause i do, 'cause i do

ooh

la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (goddamn)

ooh (oh)

and i don't wanna die

no, i don't wanna die

i don't wanna die”

your best american girl - mitski “if i could, i'd be your little spoon

and kiss your fingers forevermore

but, big spoon, you have so much to do

and i have nothing ahead of me

you're the sun, you've never seen the night

but you hear its song from the morning birds

well, i'm not the moon, i'm not even a star

but awake at night i'll be singing to the birds

don't wait for me, i can't come”

&

“you're the one

you're all i ever wanted

i think i'll regret this”

you should be hated here - carissa’s wierd “and everything that no one knows

you should be hated here by now

this was the prettiest lie that i told tonight

it's been the prettiest lie that i told all year

the unmade bed inside the room (it could be now)

where i don't feel comfortable at all (and i don't feel proud)

where the blanket stared at me for hours (i'm so sorry now)

and i stared right back so self-righteously (i'm sorry now)

and it all comes down to composure that's been lost

when it all comes down to composure that's been lost”

you weren’t meant to see that - the rare occasions “i watched the windows shatter

as if it ever mattered

and for once in my life i see things for what they are

and not through the lens of profit and achievement

it's nothing when you need it

one of those fortune cookie proclamations

that i could never swallow

you weren't meant to see that

all the shit i should hold back

'cause it's all in my head and i can see it through your swampy eyes

that i won't always be the only one for you”

River (reddish brown hair) x MC (maybe Rain, forgot already, she had black hair in a low ponytail, sported a greyish black hoodie)

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

Nabrina

Calbrina

Cursed Princess Club

Lance x Gwen (mostly because I think Lance is the most handsomest out of the Plaid Princes, but also I know how iffy people might be because of the 3-2 year age gap, so maybe an AU where they’re older, and Gwen is not interested in his brother)

Suzanna x Lorena (you can view them how you want, but I feel that they kinda view each other as their precious friend, so it’s a good foundation for something more

BAudrey (Ben x Audrey, original couple working things out)

Fairytail

GrayLu (OTP)

Simon x Erza (truth be told this is one of the reasons why I don’t have an OTP for Erza, because I’m a multishipper)

NatZa (sometimes a friendly way, sometimes slightly romantic)

Jerza (It gets really confusing with all the Jellal lookalikes to be honest, because I’m just really confused when I read and watched it, like it cute but you also have to figure out what is going on along with Erza)

Gray x Natsu (Occasionally ship them, but sometimes I’m like they’re like friends, I guess, not really sure, kinda having an internal debate on how I view them, like are they found family or what, ugh…)

MiraFreed (I just did during that one arc, also don’t really ship her with anyone else, not even Laxus)

RenCherry (This is really minor, I did think they were cute)

Lyvia (OTP, If she wasn’t obsessed with Gray, and noticed a certain ice mage who would give her just as much affection if not more, they’d be so cute)

Carla and Lily (I think I was just bored with the main ships and was like might as well ship them)

GajEvy (like I don’t mind them being past enemies, but it would have been cool to see a traumatized Levy more, then she slowly begins to realize that Gajeel is a nice person after a LONG or DECENT period of trying to gain her trust, and when they fall in love, it a complete surprise for the audience and the ship, but it’s done so well that the audience is like oh well let them be together)

ChEndy because if I had to choose someone for Wendy, I rather it be someone who didn’t know her before the timeskip and not just some guy of the opposite sex.

Elfgreen (they’re funny and cute)

Firebreather

Goseul x Jaegu

Moon Young x Hi Gyeong

Gangrok x Yeojung

GOL Universe

Game of Love

Adriel x Isabella (everyone keeps thinking that the entire Halyston is all related to each other, it’s hilarious but also kinda irritating. Adriel and Isabella aren’t blood related, but they are kinda related in family history but not really legally, it’s complicated I guess)

Rodrigue x Isabella (they’re ok, I think Rodrigue is really traumatized and doesn’t want to depend on anyone to stop his nightmares from taking over his life, and he’s afraid if he loves Isabella, she will die, I predict that he will do whatever he can to keep her alive, once he opens up and fall in love with her)

Ariana x Akito (can’t tell if the author is trying to develop a possible relationship between them, which is kinda exciting, but I love them a lot, enemies to lovers vibes)

Shanth x Scarlet (Charming boy x Prissy mean girl villain, the author is probably not gonna do much with them, but I want to see her reaction every time she meets him)

Oh I could elaborate on it so much

Like at first I simply thought it would be funny since Ram would be so pissed that she would find out because of fucking Barusu but the more I think about it the better it gets.

It's very interesting and fun to think about how Rams perception of her own sexuality would change through the experience of finding a fem-presenting Subaru attractive, ESPECIALLY bcs of Subarus parallels to Roswaal (I love Roswaal as much as the next guy but you cannot tell me that Rams crush on him doesn't kinda read like comphet).

Does she realize that she may have held a different kind of affection for Roswaal? Does she view subaru in a different way now, and if yes, how does that affect their relationship? That is also, of course, dependent on how you interpret Natsumi (is it drag, genderfluidity, gender non-conformance, or something else?) which adds another layer of complexity to this topic.

Overall, I think she wouldn't get it at first, like at all. I think it would make her flustered and bewildered and also angry and disgusted, at who she doesnt know herself though. She shows none of that, of course, besides for some snide comment about Barusu, though lacking in force compared to her usual insults.

I think she would flee the scene, so to speak, mutter something about chores that need to be done. Subaru, of course, knows that that is BS and follows after her. Alone. And confronts her because he's worried. Alone. Just the two of them in a storage room the size of a tatami mat. Alone. While she's feeling things she doesn't understand at all, which she thought she would understand. Alone. Why is he so close? Why does he look so worried? They are alone. Why does she feel weird looking at him, referring to him as "him"? Just the two of them. Why now? What difference does a dress and some make up make?

To her, he will always be just some little puppy dog blindly following his master, sometimes rarely being of some worth, no matter if he looks decent in a dress, and acts in a way that makes her knees weak, and has a face all of a sudden that makes her breath quicken...

It should not make her feel this way to be alone with him, or her. No, him. She cannot get that confused. That is Subaru, even if his appearance is barely recognizable, and his mannerisms, which once annoyed her to no end, suddenly come across as charming.

He tries to reach out to her, she slaps her hand– his hand away. Taking a deep breath and hiding it as a sigh, she calms her nerves, tells her that she's- dammit. Tells him that she's alright and that even if something was wrong, Barusu would not be able to do anything to help anyway. As she tries to leave though, Natsu- Barusu grabs her hand firmly, someone she has seen with a worried look so often as Barusu should not stir any emotion within Ram at all, but that genuine look of worry on her face makes Ram nearly stumble, if she weren't so graceful and refined a lady.

...maybe she wasn't so graceful after all.

Because in the next moment she couldn't hold back, she slammed Natsumi against a wall, albeit with more care than she would give the usual Barusu, for some reason. To have her below Ram, that is how it was meant to be, it gave her satisfaction, looking down on this. Cute. Thing.

Not cute– Disgusting. That's what she meant. Natsumi stammered something about a surprise kabedon, some other nonsensical term she made up. Ram hates that she enjoys seeing Natsumi flustered. Usually, she would threaten to go tell Emilia-sama, but why did the thought of sharing this with Emilia-sama make her stomach hurt?

Ok anyway yeah you can imagine the rest. I dont think she would take the realization well at all, but also be glad that she can work through that with Subaru, someone she trusts deeply. I also think it would illicit some, at least to him, strange emotions to have a girl fall for him as Natsumi Schwartz, would be fun if that was the thing that made him realize Natsumi may be more to him than just a drag persona.

Probably no one cares but I need to rant about Fairy Tail now that I finally finished it. Because I feel like it gets a lot more hate than it deserves considering that almost everything it set out to do it did right. Starting from characterization and relationship dynamics. Those were fucking great. They're so fucking fleshed out, I love them.

And I've seen people complaining about Natsu and Lucy's relationship being dragged out but I feel they're missing on the fact that, first and foremost, they're partners, and no amount of romance or lack thereof can change that. Not long after meeting him Lucy jumps out of a window with no hesitation and no back up plan because she heard Natsu's voice and that meant she would be safe. That is not just a high level of trust, that is insane. And that's the entirety of their relationship. Making them romantic wouldn't change anything. It would just mean slapping a different label on it, because their relationship simply cannot be more deep and meaningful than it already is. (And this might be my aroace ass speaking, but I cannot imagine Natsu being stereotypically romantic. Even if they decided that they were, in fact, dating, I feel nothing would change in the ways they act around each other)

Also about Erza and Jellal, really. They're clearly meant to be together, they love each other. But they can't share any amount of time on the same room without it becoming awkward or dramatic because the amount of shared trauma between them is fucking astronomical. They need twenty years of therapy before they can do any significantly romantic thing and that's great. It's awesome! Just because you're in love with someone doesn't mean that being together will be easy! But that doesn't make their relationship any less meaningful or tender.

And the platonic relationships! The family ones! Makarov will risk himself and use the fairy law and Mavis tries to stop him. Tells him she has a plan that will lead to victory. Only for Makarov to say "I know this. But I need it now because the children are suffering and I won't wait a second longer" before obliterating an entire army.

Gildarts might be a womanizer but he's good with kids and he's so fucking delighted at having a child. He's so proud, and so embarrassing. I love him.

The raijinshuu are friends, and it shows, and I kinda love that the one to have a raging crush on Laxus is not Ever, the only woman among them. And the Strauss siblings have such a good relationship too. And thankfully don't fall into any of the worst sibling cliches. Levi and Gajeel spend the whole time they know eachother developing a relationship on the background, and by the time you pay atention they're sleeping together. That's hilarious. It's fantastic.

And speaking of Laxus, he goes from being a crazy fuck to incredibly cool and dependable without it feeling like he got a complete personality transplant. Partly because it soon becomes clear that most dragon slayers are, at any given time, one wrong turn away from completely losing the plot regardless of their best intentions. But also because his core values remain the same. Guild pride is the thing that drives him. When we first see him he's obsessed with making Fairy Tail strong so that it can stand proud on the face of anything. After taking a forceful journey of self discovery he learns that the guild is the sum of every individual person on it, instead of an abstract ideal of power, but the fact remains that the guild is the important thing to him. That's why he gets Natsu to defeat Hades instead of doing it himself. Because at that point he's not a part of the guild, so if he's the one to win it'd mean that Fairy Tail didn't, and that simply cannot stand.

All in all, it does such a good job of depicting good and complicated relationships with care and nuance, and makes a place for the ones that are bad. Lucy's dad has to work to get accepted back into her life, and that's amaizing. Where else have you seen a parent that doesn't get instant forgiveness after saying sorry? It's certainly not as often as I would like.

But I mostly feel like talking about the "darker" things, because it sometimes gets labeled as childish because no one dies (which is a big fucking lie. And I did not sign up for that. At all. I was fucking counting on it, and it was a LIE. And sure, Silver was technically already dead, but still) and like. I get it. Most main characters who "die" get miraculously saved. But that doesn't mean trauma in-world is any lighter.

On the seven year timeskip most people don't care about the characters that stayed behind, because they're secondary, and weaker, and not very cool. But we're told the reason the guild fell behing wasn't because it lost it's stronger members, but because they spent years upon years neglecting jobs for the sake of searching for the missing ones. And that's very fucking big.

But, again. The darker shit. They're not happy go lucky. They're not naive. They declare war no less than three times and every single one they make it clear that it is not about justice, it's about vengeance. About retribution. About "you don't fucking fuck with us". (And, lets remember, declaring war was fucking illegal).

They repeatedly say that they don't do good things because they're the good guys. They do the shit they wanted to do and it might just be that it could be considered good (and if not, they can convince people in high places to overlook it, pretty please. Because they have the friends to manage that).

Natsu has a whole argument with an outright assassin, and it never comes up that "murder is bad". It's framed more as a professional disagreement, rather than a moral argument. Natsu's main problem is that, while taking killing jobs, they call themselves a guild, the thing he asociates with family. The thing he considers sacred above all else. And since killing jobs are dirty (not unethical) they should, therefore, never touch a guild.

Before the final batle he outright says that killing kinda sucks but he will do it if he has to. And then kills around 900 people in a single second. Lucy is ready to kill. She's alone with Brandish in the bath and she's ready to shiv her in the neck. She might feel cornered, like this is the only option she has left. But in that moment she's ready and willing to see it through.

Invel is facing Gray and tells him "yes! Sucumb to the darkness so you may understand and join our purpose". Only for Gray to go "you dumb ass bitch. Do you think I care about going dark? Do you seriously believe I'm playing hero? All I care about is taking you down and if I have to be evil for that then that's how we roll".

All of that. I love that. They don't give a single fuck. Family comes first not because that's good, but because that's the way they are. They don't much care about what place their guild occupies relative to the rest of the world, or where any one member falls on a scale from good to bad. When all is said and done, all that mathers to them is the line between them and us, and they don't care to sugarcoat it.

And so many shows do that wrong. You get good guys who commit untold atrocities that go unaknowledged because they're the good guys! They can do no wrong! And I feel Fairy Tail should get more credit than it does on those grounds alone, but it does help that the character dynamics are good.

And I could write an entire (incoherent) essay on how Zeref is truly the most sympathetic villain I've ever seen. Everything about how he ended up makes perfect sense with his fucked up situation beyond a simple "I suffered so now I'm a self righteous asshole". You can see all the ways his mind had to twist itself into pretzels for him to maintain any semblance of functionality. If you're an hyperempathetic young man who suddenly and involuntarily kills anything he cares about then you really need to convince your brain that you don't care about anything, actually. Problem with that is that you're now convinced that it's true, because it doesn't work unless it's true. But the thing is that you also want to die, and you can't do it while actively wanting to die, so you need to die while thinking you don't want to. What's the best way to do that? You need someone else's help. And the best way to get someone to kill you is probably if they really really hate you. And the best way to do that is to become a supervillain, probably. Which also comes in handy for the whole "convince myself I'm truly an asshole" thing. And you end up becoming a calamity and fucking over the lives of anyone who could have loved you. But at least you can finally die.

And Mavis! The sweet looking, undeniably good person who turned out to be a ruthless strategist, quite detached from the world around her, who has a hard time weighing the value of individual human lives when there's a bigger picture to look at. But she's not an unfeeling stereotype either. She does love people, she wants them to have good things. But that doesn't change the fact that she doesn't relate to people the way others do, even if she could've lived her life without ever realizing (and I love that they tell us the wars the mages participated in were merchant wars. Just a random little tidbit, but yes. Wars do tend to be about money)

And this was a very long post and I said a whole bunch of nothing because I can't keep a train of thought to save my life. I just wordvomited a bunch of things that I liked. Long story short: characteryzation in Fairy Tail is top tier and I won't be taking criticism about it. You can try to critisize me though, I do enjoy arguing when I have enough braincells to put words together in the right order
