Got challenged by @phoenix-before-the-flame to draw the boi for the @fairytail-redraw 🔥

I still hate his hair

[lonleyhumanbeing]

You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you…

Joke screenshot but still. It’s just so pretty. The way the landscape itself looks magical? The eyes in certain shots? It’s better than I ever could have dreamed of.

Natsu, you sassy motherf*cker

[octorockff]

Baby Girl

Natsu was never someone who would think deeply and far ahead of his life. He was more than content to live in the present, enjoying food, brawls and going on dangerous missions with his Fairy Tail family day by day.

But he did give some thoughts about the future during the dead of some nights, when he's brimming with too much restless energy to sleep and Lucy strictly forbade his entry to her apartment for some sort of "girl nights"(urg, he wouldn't dare enter the dubbed danger zone during those time willingly either, less he wanted to be beaten black and blue by a certain scary scarlet head).

Fairy Tail was no doubt the one big and only family he would fight to death to protect, and everyone was always very welcoming and protective of one another despite coming from all walks of life. But inside the one big family, there would be smaller family units that hold certain members closer than others to their hearts, and these groups would become inseparable, irreplaceable with their core members given the utmost trusting and loving bond they shared.

He could definitely see those existed in the Connell family, the Conbolt father-son duo, and even in the bond shared between a certain metal-eating freak, his Exceed and their resident script mage. For a while, the fire dragonslayer could only see himself carrying this bond with his trusty, blue Exceed, and he was content with that.

But then Lucy, with her golden and buxom appearance, sassy and no-nonsense attitude, starry heaven magic and too big of a kind heart, came falling into his life and the transition of his family of duo turned into trio was so natural and seamless that he couldn't bear remembering a time before this beautiful, sunshine girl.

With the celestial mage by his side, his future now looked brighter and more exciting with countless adventures awaiting them to embark on as it's always more fun when they're together. And the idea of settling down sounded both daunting and appealing at the same time, as he knew that was what he wanted eventually in a near point of future, given how solid and fulfilling his and Lucy's relationship now going strong for 3 years as romantic partners among the 6 years of friendship.

Both he and Lucy shared the same idea of having a big family, maybe 2-3 kids, given how lonely it had for him to survive alone in the wilderness within the brief period after Igneel's disappearance and before Gramps found him; and the painful abandonment Lucy experienced as an only child without a loving mother and a grief-stricken father.

Natsu always thought his firstborn would be a son, not because of stupid prejudiced thoughts that boys were better than girls, but more so because he felt he could bond with the boy the same way Igneel had with him. He would teach the youngling how to harness and control his dragon fire, assuming that the kid took after his magic, how to fight and win a brawl (definitely when against the droopy-eyed ice princess kids), and to take him on fishing trips, missions and hunting escapades not only for father-son bonding time, but also for the child to hone his survival instinct and skills, and become stronger so one day he could protect his family and friends on his own.

And that excitement grew larger the rounder Lucy's belly got, carrying the proof of their love after a year into their marriage. It always fascinated him how a woman's body could hold and carry around the entire weight of a human being inside, no magic could hold the candle to this and this is amazing, his Lucy was amazing!

Whenever they were out, Natsu's arm was hardwired to automatically wound around his wife's waist, both to readily protect her and their unborn child from any dangers and to feel the heated warmth radiated from the baby bump against his palm just to assure the child were there. And when Lucy told him the baby could start hearing as their ears are now developed, courtesy to Polyusica's update from the celestial mage's bi-weekly pregnancy check-up, Natsu and Happy would start babbling to the baby bump about the guild, their teammates, the adventures Team Natsu had gone on. and the plans he had for the child when they came out, etc. as Lucy lovingly stroked his hair and pet between Happy’a ears as she listened to them.

They opted not to discover the baby's gender during the pregnancy, wanting to be surprised when the time came. On nights they laid in each other's arms, the couple would discuss about the possible names for their baby, often ended up with giggles or exasperated huffs from Lucy as the ridiculous names Natsu would come up with (no offense to Happy, but who would name their kid Happy Jr?!)

In the end, they decided to go with Nasha Layla Dragneel for the girl, and Igneel Jude Dragneel for the boy, in honoring of their late parents. Everything was going in the right direction and Natsu couldn't wait for the arrival of their child.

And the time finally came in the form of Lucy shriek and his too numb hand from the insanely tight grip of his wife as she giving birth. The guild resident fire dragon slayer had never liked to see his celestial mage in pain, even if it was because of their child, and he could only helplessly whisper soothing words into her ears and prayed for the quick process.

A piercing wail finally echoed the infirmary as Wendy rushed to clean and swaddle the baby in a blanket. Natsu was stunned to hear Wendy congratulated them on the beautiful baby girl and his brain took some times to proceed the information. He dazedly watched Lucy cradled their daughter close, and smiled those radiant smiles of her that never failed to make his heart skip a beat. Happy, now allowed in the infirmary, hovered over Lucy and the bundle as his eyes sparkled with starry wonder as he took in his sibling.

He only snapped out when Lucy turned and asked him if he wanted to hold their Nasha. The pinkette could only dumbly nod as he shakily formed his hand into the practiced form as Lucy passed the baby to him.

The moment his daughter laid in his arms, Natsu’s heart were instantly overwhelmed with the feeling of love and gratitude as he cradled his baby girl close to his chest. Nasha seemed to take a liken to his abnormal body heat as she subconsciously squirmed closer and his heart swelled with adoration.

He could see wisps of pink hair adorned her head and the moment she opened her eyes to show the world her murky but undoubtedly brown orbs so similar to the woman he loved, right then and there he decided that she was the most beautiful baby girl in all Fiore. Any objections could eat his flaming fist to their face.

At that moment, he decided that any baby of his and Lucy was absolutely perfect and he would lay his life down to protect and ensure they had the best life as possible.

***

It had been a few months after Nasha’s birth and life had been eventful to say the least to the first-time parents. Despite the heavy bags hung under their bloodshot eyes due to the lack of sleep from their daughter wailing (that girl sure had the lungs of a dragon), and the fret to discover the causes, Natsu wouldn’t trade anything in the world for the warmth and fuzzy feeling in his chest whenever he looked or held his baby girl.

Nasha was now laying on his broad chest, his large palm anchored her tiny form to his as they laze on the bed with the warm afternoon light filtered through the bedroom window and basked their form. Happy had left for the guild to spend time with a certain white cat that had now warmed up to his advances.

Looking at the pudgy and rosy cheeks of his cute daughter, Natsu couldn’t help but lightly prodded and pinched the doughy flesh for his own amusement. Not liking the teasing from her father, Nasha’s doe brown orbs started growing glassy as her tiny mouth formed the beginning of a wailing.

“Shh, don’t cry Nasha, please don’t cry baby girl, Daddy’s only kidding. Shh, go back to sleep” Natsu immediately shushed his daughter by rubbing her back gently and pressing kisses to her wispy pink hair. His nose inhaled her heavenly baby smell and the subtle mixed scent of his and Lucy, and his body subconsciously relaxed and heated comfortably to calm the baby down.

He must have dosed off briefly as his sense woke up from the gentle combing on his scalp and the familiar scent of camellia and star dust filled his nose. Natsu opened his eyes to take in the pleasant visual of his beautiful wife smiling lovingly down at them as she whispered “Hey Daddy and Baby, I’m home. Do you mind if I join in the napping session?”

Opening his unoccupied arm invitingly, Lucy crawled into the bed to lay on his biceps as her dainty hands joined his on top of Nasha’s snoozing form.

As he curled his arm and pulled his wife tighter to the side, Natsu exhaled contently as he couldn’t help but think he was the luckiest bastard in the world to have two beautiful and loving girls in his arms.

He really wouldn’t trade anything in the whole world for this.

You know what the more I think about it the more I'm really starting to hate this chapter. The only things I did like was of course the small Touya/Shouto scene, Touya being sassy to Endeavour and Natsu cutting ties to Endeavour. Oh and the many good Shouto panels because our boy looks so pretty. Everything else I hated.

Oh, yeah, I agree.

The only good thing was the Shouto - Touya scene, Touya's sassy remarks, betrayed by his heartbeat.

And yeah, Natsuo walking away was fine.

I'm also "happy" that Endeavor retired - I mean not happy, but I'm glad Touya managed to destroy his hero career. That was Toya's meaning in the end - he exposed and destroyed the abuser of the family. But it cost him too much.

[archiiel]

I was wondering can I hear your thoughts on this what if scenario?

I read this Nalu fic and Lucy even mentored she has no right to be angry at natsu for leaving he lost his father and she might have lost Aquarius but she's still out there somewhere .

Now I'm wondering what if after Lucy broke Aquarius key, Aquarius did get reborn along side her key .

The Aquarius that Lucy knew is gone, the Aquarius Scorpio was dating is gone. Now what remains is a different Aquarius maybe it's a child Aquarius ( shout out to her child design) or a completely different Aquarius who still has the mermaid tail and the water magic. But hair color different (example green) and maybe her personality is low-key similar (loud and sassy ) or completely different (quite and wise)

Just think of the angst potential.

Your not my Aquarius but your wearing her face 👀

🌺anon

that’s so interesting!! i was out of fandom for a long time and so now reading all the theories and what ifs are so refreshing!! i definitely love this particular one 😭 please do remember that i have very little memory of some particular aspects and deep lore so be free to correct me if im wrong with any info!!

as far as i remember she is still alive but lets dive into this what if scenario hehe

just my own take, but the more powerful the spirit, the closer the reborn person to themselves in their previous life. so, Aquarius, as powerful as she was, i think she could reincarnate into her mini self just as Zeref and Mavis!

once again, shout out to her child design, she would rock her sass with pride and nonchalance, and yet- i think she would definitely feel something in her heart, while looking at Scorpio as she reappears in the spirit world, and i imagine it would be a very big and powerful event, maybe even rambling into the earth land in any form? maybe other Celestials would perform some kind of ritual magic to fill her with needed knowledge or maybe she’s born either it? once again im so sorry if there is info about this, im just bubbling on my own

her key would be likely lost somewhere, buried under the ocean even, i can’t really think 😵‍💫 but i believe, the moment Aquarius is reborn, Lucy would feel it as well as the need to find her, like it was with Natsu and Igneel kind of thing

and surely, angst would be there, since no matter what happens, her and Scorpio wouldn’t be happy as a couple, not when she lost her memory and now learned how to be a zodiac. maybe she’ll grow and become good friends with him, maybe even get a crush, but from his side he couldn’t relive the relationship once again.

and as badly as she wouldn’t want or understand it, she would be so gravitated towards the earth, it would it her from inside out. of course she wouldn’t know why, but we all know, it will continue until Lucy will be able to find the new key and meet her grumpy auntie 🤭

and i’ll think about maybe doing her design as a reborn zodiac in the future!! thank you once again for the ask 💗🙏

I was wondering can I hear your thoughts on this what if scenario?

I read this Nalu fic and Lucy even mentored she has no right to be angry at natsu for leaving he lost his father and she might have lost Aquarius but she’s still out there somewhere .

Now I’m wondering what if after Lucy broke Aquarius key , Aquarius did get reborn along side her key .

The Aquarius that Lucy knew is gone , the Aquarius Scorpio was dating is gone . Now what remains is a different Aquarius maybe it’s a child Aquarius( shout out to her child design) or a completely different Aquarius who still has the mermaid tail and the water magic . But hair color different (example green ) and maybe her personality is low-key similar (loud and sassy ) or completely different (quite and wise )

Just think of the angst potential.

So this one is one I have complex feelings about and really think I could be swayed in a lot of ways. I know I've mentioned it, but Lucy sacrificing the Aquarius key is one of the best moments in the entire series. I would've loved more build up/time spent with Aquarius and Lucy before it but in general it's a pretty solid moment. Great time of seeing magic that costs something.

That said, I have mixed feelings about the concept of Aquarius being different. Now I do like Lucy either never seeing Aquarius ever again or never seeing her until she's an old woman and Aquarius belongs to a much younger celestial mage leading to one final reunion.

But, if it's well done, lucy meeting (not necessarily owning) an Aquarius she doesn't know, who only has inklings of who she is and is a different person could've been fun to see. It would've added to the grief of the situation with the understanding that there are ways for spirits to die. But that remnants of them pull through.

It could be a really interesting conversation on grief and maybe even a way for Lucy to finally be able to move on from the death of her mother with her connection to Aquarius.

Tl;DR: interesting concept and I'm open to hearing ideas! I don't dislike the exploration of almost any follow up to the destruction of the Aquarius key. (One exception is lucy getting the key again a few years later and nothing changing. That's a cop out I will not entertain.)

👁️👁 What an interesting concept. I love the potential angst in this situation. Like Lucy reminiscing about something in an attempt to jog her memory, depending on Aquarius’ new personality she might indulge her hoping that it can help her navigate her grief. Of course none of these would work because the old Aquarius is gone.

There could also be a situation where they meet another Celestial Wizard who made a contract with Aquarius before Lucy could find her. Like they’d meet this new wizard under friendly terms, and when Lucy notices the Aquarius key, she would ask the wizard to summon her so that they could talk. Only to be met with someone she doesn’t recognize, or someone who doesn’t recognize her. This would force Lucy to both accept that Aquarius is gone, and let her go.

Just to circle back to the first part, I feel like it’s a bit unfair to think Lucy doesn’t have the right to be upset that Natsu left, especially cause he left without a proper goodbye (I feel like she deserves more then a note). Like she just lost Aquarius, who was part of her family, and in this spiral of sadness and grief, her best friend leaves her, and to add an extra layer the guild got disbanded. So while yes I agree that she shouldn’t be upset with Natsu for processing how he needed to, she definitely should be mad that he just up in left while she was going through arguably one of her most intense emotional periods.

But yes 100% yes I love the idea of Keys being reborn.

[fairytail-whathesays]

do you have some sting eucliffe/twin dragons headcanons?

Most of Sting's and Rogue's scars actually come from fighting each other. It's a gay guy thing, you wouldn't get it.

Sting has had naturally flawless skin all his life. Even the scars somehow heal over just right to be aesthetically pleasing. Combine that with his dress sense and perfectly done hair and sassy little bisexual earring, and it drives Rogue crazy--Rogue's teen acne was nightmarish and he's still a little self-conscious about it.

Speaking of appearance, the reason Rogue's hair is allowed to cover his face most of the time is because he's light-sensitive. It's easier on his eyes to be staring out from under his hair.

Sting is definitely the more dominant of the two personality-wise, but it's probably Rogue you want to stay on the good side for--you know what they say about the nice, shy guys. Rogue is actually stronger than Sting when he digs deep into his power reserves, and you'll know you're about to get your ass whooped when you see red glowing eyes and fangs sharper even than the average dragonslayer's.

The whole shadow-possession thing is not supposed to happen. Rogue's shadow magic is not 'unholy' or 'darkness' element the way certain other magics are--it's really just a dragonslaying version of Kageyama's magic, a simple elemental magic unassociated with evil. This happened primarily because of unforeseen side-effects of dragonization bleeding over into his shadow magic, which did not benefit from Rogue's antibodies.

We're going to charitably correct canon and say that Rogue and Sting actually drew even with Natsu (AND GAJEEL) at the Grand Magic Games fight. Still not a win, so everything else can proceed accordingly, but not an embarrassing loss either, because why murder hype in its sleep if we don't have to?

Rogue's magic feels very cold and empty, while Sting's magic is white-hot to the touch.

Sting can't get tattoos. The magic in his body bleaches them of color over time and eventually dissipates/evaporates them completely. He has to get his Sabertooth guild mark re-stamped every so often. This is because his body is naturally held to a specific stasis-like level of "purity" and his magic seeks out and purifies foreign agents. This also makes it very difficult for him to get sick.

I wanted this post to be perfect - with the perfect redraw of a redraw. I wanted to do all the shading and lighting and background to really flex how far my skills have come. But sometimes inspiration doesn’t let you do that. Mental Health and Real Life tend to wiggle into the way of a vision. And that’s okay! Creating artwork will never be “perfect” no matter how you look at it, and simply putting something on a page is better than not being creative at all. 

So, instead of chastising myself for not doing better, I’m going to celebrate how much I have accomplished and grown. 

These two redraws are about 1 year apart. I started drawing, really drawing, one year ago. With lots of encouragement from comrades and personal research, I’ve grown with each artwork I’ve created - including this one. I know its intimidating when you see work from artists who have been drawing for so many years, but this is your reminder of how much of a difference one single year can make when it comes to something you love and pursue. 

One year. 

And that is not restricted to drawing. It’s for any creative outlet that you find yourself chasing. So for all of those who have been waiting to pick up a hobby, or start something new, because you know you won’t be good in the beginning, and its daunting how much growth you have ahead of you, this here is a reminder that you can do anything you set your mind to - and regardless of the outcome, you’re bringing something beautiful into this world. 

It’s amazing how much of a difference one year makes. Much love and many thanks to all those who have supported me this last year as I pursued this new creative outlet. <3

ABDJAGRJWHE THANK YOU THAT'S SO SWEET!!!

HII OMG i had to follow for the soul calibur and kingdom hearts ships!!! also you seem pretty cool!!! :D if it isn't too much trouble, could you tell me more about your ship with aqua? i love her sm! (kittyandco)

hello!!! thank you thank you! it's great to see you here ajdhqkdjw I love so many of your ships and have been following for a while! i'm a huge marvel fan and hux is a character i like a lot too and there's so many f/os of yours that i recognize! soulcal is so special to me since some of my earliest memories are of me playing it! as a result, I've been with my guy for a while- what a guy, am I right? 😍

i'm always down to talk about my aqua! I also love her sm if i do say so myself- this might end up being a little long but here we gooooo!

okay so. Ash is another Keyblade wielder raised by Master E.raqus! He found her after she was orphaned so she sees him as a fatherly figure. She's just a few months older than Aqua and a little younger than Terra. She dresses in mostly all red (her and Aqua are the red and blue couple!!!!) and has those chest straps the other wayfinder trio folk do as well.

She became a Keyblade master before Aqua did (though not very long before- just a few weeks) and she's very good at what she does! She wears a long red coat. I wanted her to look cool and important which is why her outfit is like that.

I hope you like the childhood best friends to lovers trope because that's exactly what happens! These two have been together since they were children. They were always together. No matter what. Always together, hand in hand, giggling and laughing and training and talking. It isn't until their teenage years where Ash goes "... Oh. Oh."

Ash has it bad. She's so horribly in love with her best friend. Terra knows, Ven knows, Dad knows, they all know- It's so obvious! As a kid, she always wanted to be with Aqua, but as she grew older, those cute little giggles turned into longing glances.

Ash often calls Aqua "Berry", a nickname from when they were kids. Ash was red... Aqua was blue... Like a blueberry! So she's Berry for short. She always called Aqua that when they were little, and it stuck! So you can sometimes see her call Aqua "berry"!

Just imagine a little Ash and Aqua when they were small.

"You're Aqua.. and I'm Ash!"

"You're red, and I'm blue!"

"You're like water... But I'm like fire!"

And little Aqua giggles,

"Hey, we match! We're meant to be, right?"

"Yeah, that's right! Ash and Aqua, we'll be best friends forever and ever!"

Anyways, Ash said that she'd finally confess after years of pining after they're all Masters, but... haha... ha... (looks at birth by sleep). She doesn't take the end of the game very well.

(Oh and more appearance details! Ash has brown skin and eyes and black hair like I do. Her coat is red and her shirt under is black. Her straps are green. Her Keyblade is green too. Her hair is long, but tied in a ponytail with a white ribbon. The ribbon was a gift from Eraqus when she was younger.)

Like with the others, Aqua makes a wayfinder for Ash. Ash's is red, just like her coat. But Ash refuses to take it. She laughs, saying that her and Aqua are so close that they don't need this to be together. And so, for all of BBS, Aqua carries two Wayfinders.

But at the end, right before she falls into darkness, Aqua asks for Ash's hand and gives her a blue Wayfinder.

"Aqua..." "Keep it. I'll always be by your side, okay?"

So for all of Ash's appearances until they reunite in 3, Ash carries a blue Wayfinder from her belt. However, that also means that Aqua carries a red Wayfinder in 0.2

It makes moments like these a little more emotional. She thinks of Ash whenever she looks at that. Ash is what keeps her going throughout the darkness. Her best friend, the woman that she loves.

And then... At the end of BBS... Aqua falls into darkness. And Ash is forced to watch. The last thing Aqua hears is Ash begging and screaming, pleading for the darkness to please just take her instead. Anything, she'd give up anything to save Aqua.

Ash punches at the ground again and again till her knuckles bleed the same red as the Wayfinder Aqua always held onto, casts every single spell she knows. She doesn't care about how much it hurts. She just wanted to save Aqua.

... And she failed. Aqua doesn't come back.

Ash's hands are scarred from all that, and every single one of those scars are a reminder that she failed. She has bandages around her hands.

For ten years, she is alone. Eraqus is gone, her best friend Terra is gone, Ven is gone... And Aqua is gone. Her light is gone. Ash spends ten years by herself, wandering worlds and imagining what it would be like to see Aqua again. She loves her so much..

Ash can be seen wandering worlds in 2. Sora tries to talk to her, seeing that she's a Keyblade wielder. But Ash tells him to leave. She doesn't care about anything that doesn't have to do with Aqua. She doesn't even have it in her to be a boss fight.

But yeah. For ten years, we get mean and sad Ash. After Mickey sees Aqua, he tracks down Ash. Ash agrees to help them because she wants to see Aqua again. So we see her work with Riku and Yen Sid and Mickey and all those losers later. She's a little serious and quiet (which is wild, since she's a goofy and bright jokester with Aqua!)

Her and Riku also develop a sibling type bond. She's the cool big sister to him. Riku picks up on Ash always playing with the blue Wayfinder she carried on her.

And then a bunch of stuff happens and she's the one who has to fight Anti-Aqua. It horrifies her and she's crying for the whole fight.

"Please, Aqua... I-I can't... Don't make me do this..."

"You left me here. You abandoned me. You never came me."

"Aqua, please... I did everything I could!"

And when Aqua finally comes back, Ash is tackling her in a hug. They're both sobbing, clinging to each other with all they have. Aqua has always felt like home to Ash. Ash was home. She was finally home. Aqua cries, saying that she never stopped thinking about Ash.

You know how in 0.2 Aqua looks up at the sky sometimes? Ash looks up at the stars a lot too. Reminds me of the days when her and younger Aqua would stay up and laugh together under the stars.

A little while after they reunite, they kiss. They've always been so close, and sometimes just... snaps. And they both confess that they've been in love with each other for a long, long time. And yeah! For the rest of 3, you can see them kissing and holding hands and being really cute. They're a very adorable couple (if I do say so myself hehe)!

Also, Ash is afraid of taking off her bandages around Aqua at first. Her scars are ugly. Her scars are a reminder of how she wasn't enough. She wants to be the perfect woman for Aqua, and Aqua shouldn't have to see that side of her. But Aqua tells Ash that she loves Ash for who she is, and her hands are beautiful, no matter how many scars are on them. Aqua kisses them often.

Also, Ash sometimes refers to Aqua as "my heart" and Aqua refers to Ash as "my light". In a world of darkness, thoughts of Ash was all Aqua had. Her bright smile, loud laugh, all of it... Ash was her light. And a heart is supposed to be Ash's guiding key, right? Well, Ash's heart always found its way back to Aqua. Aqua is her heart.

There's a lot more to this ship and I've written soooo damn much for them, but that's pretty much what you need to know about them! They're the red/blue Keyblade gfs!!!! They're so in love! Best friends (and even more than that) forever!

Ash is pretty sassy and humorous, and can sometimes be a bit of a flirt (only towards Aqua). It makes Aqua blush. Aqua is just the sweetest person alive- It's adorable how she's the only person who can fluster Ash. They love each other so much. Ten years without each other wasn't easy. Ash isn't used to having anyone around again, and Aqua isn't used to the light. But that's okay. They have each other, right?

Oh! Also! When they reunite, they finally trade Wayfinders again. Red for Ash, blue for Aqua.

This is mostly Ash/Aqua focused, but she's cool big sis to Ven, and sassy daughter (who loves him lots) to Eraqus. She didn't like Terra as a kid, but as they grew up together, they've gotten extremely close and care for each other deeply. However, Ash likes to pick on him a lot. She calls him an idiot a lot, but she cares about him, I promise! He was also one of the first to go "hey, Ash, youre down bad for your bestie aren't you-"

Thank you for this ask!!!

I was wondering can I hear your thoughts on this what if scenario?

I read this Nalu fic and Lucy even mentored she has no right to be angry at natsu for leaving he lost his father and she might have lost Aquarius but she's still out there somewhere .

Now I'm wondering what if after Lucy broke Aquarius key, Aquarius did get reborn along side her key .

The Aquarius that Lucy knew is gone, the Aquarius Scorpio was dating is gone. Now what remains is a different Aquarius maybe it's a child Aquarius ( shout out to her child design) or a completely different Aquarius who still has the mermaid tail and the water magic. But hair color different (example green) and maybe her personality is low-key similar (loud and sassy ) or completely different (quite and wise)

Just think of the angst potential. Your not my Aquarius yet your wearing her face .

sorry for rambling to much XD I love to hear your thoughts, seriously your one of my fave writers and I hope you never stop writing 💗

It is an interesting concept, and somewhat fits into an "Amnesia" or "Reincarnation" type troupes. Maybe even a "Twin/Clone" type, too. There are many potential paths one could take for this, too, going into the angst or found family directions. Maybe even a "finding oneself" when the main character (Lucy) learns that she needs to step forward from the past and learn that not everything stays the same.

Could add in some Gandalf the White wisdom in here somewhere, lol.

It's not something that I would write currently, in my flood of ideas and wips that I have been working on, but it is something that would be interesting to read at some point.

If this was something that you really enjoyed reading, one might suggest maybe nominating it for @theguildawards'!

Would be a great way to share the love for this story, since it resonated with you!

Also, thank you for enjoying my writings! It really means a lot to hear that since I have been struggling lately with enjoying my own works.

Which ladies are the biggest rivals for Natsu? Who argues the most when it comes to him? It's got to be Erza with either Mirajane or Kagura.

Well... (人◕ω◕)

We saw Natsu was in line for Nurse Erza. There's a few that might take issue with that... (人◕ω◕)

Erza took Wendy-chan's patients from her. And Chelia's great at healing, too. This won't stand. (人◕ω◕)

Of course there's the typical Erza and Mira shenanigans. (人◕ω◕) Just cuz Mira-chan's nice most of the time now, doesn't mean she lets Erza hog all the prime Natsu time. \(人◕ω◕)/

Let's see... Who else... (人◕ω◕)

Juvia certainly butts heads with Erza sometimes. And Mira will often tease her. (人◕ω◕) But for Juvia, I think the most iconic is...

Chelia-chan, of course. (人◕ω◕) Sweet Cheli doesn't let Juvia-chan boss her around. Especially not when Natsu is at stake. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)

Sorano-chan is loved by all. So sassy. (人◕ω◕) Always wearing as little clothes as possible, too.

Don't underestimate Ultear-chan, either. She will literally use Meldy-chan to... well.... (人◕ω◕) She'll do things to her rivals. Ultear-chan finds ways.

Now, Kagura-chan... (人◕ω◕);;;

(人◕ω◕);;;;;;;;;

You threaten her chances with Natsu and Happy... Or you inconvenience Erza-neesan.... You die. (人◕ω◕);;;

Brandish-chan... Don't underestimate this one. (人◕ω◕) If she finds you to be a pest, she'll just shrink you or mess with you. ... Sometimes both. :3

Yukino's a cutie, but... (人◕ω◕)

Yukino-chan fights for her mans, too. (人◕ω◕) For her and Sorano-nee.

Conversely, you also have Lisanna, who's also a li'l sis. (人◕ω◕) But, uh... Lisanna-chan is understated in a different way from Yukino-chan.

Interesting enough she imitates Erza. (人◕ω◕)

They say imitation is one of the highest forms of flattery, though. (人◕ω◕) Still... Uh. Lisanna-chan is in the doghouse with most "rivals" for a different reason...

... Yeah, she's definitely the first to have entertained marriage with Natsu. And she reminded him of this in the GMG. (人◕ω◕)

Sayla-chan is more laidback, but uh...

Don't push her nuke button. (人◕ω◕)

Cana-chan is the most laidback out of all them.... But do bear in mind she still has Fairy Glitter. And that's not as friendly as it sounds. (人◕ω◕)

So to put simply... You have factions. Erza and Kagura. Mira and Lisanna. Ultear and Meldy. Sorano and Yukino. Wendy and Chelia. Juvia's in her own camp... (人◕ω◕) And then Sayla, Cana, and Brandish... Yes. This is a good, lively harem.

𝓗𝑶𝑶𝑲𝑬𝑫 𝓞𝑵 𝓨𝑶𝑼 — s. hinata, prologue. 𐚁 if i could make a livin’ from walkin’ in the woods, you can bet i’d be sittin’ pretty good — high on a hill, lookin’ at a field down wind.

℧ contents word count: 1,004. kindof vague. implied adhd! shoyo. shoyo is a good big brother. third person POV, but for shoyo. life of a farm kid. sassy! natsu. ooc! shoyo?

cattle tag 000: first chapter out, yay! i couldn’t decide if i wanted “authors note” or something to do with the country life, so i hope “cattle tag” makes sense to you guys…

Beep. Beep. Beep.

The frustrated groan that leaves Shoyo’s mouth is one he’s grown familiar with after years of waking up early. He reaches a hand out, blindly feeling around for the plastic of his alarm clock for a moment, but inevitably gives up and peels his eyes open. He pushes the button and drops his head back down on his pillow. This is one of the few reasons he likes waking up so early—the sun hasn’t risen yet, leaving him to relish in the kind of darkness that he likes.

Eventually, he decides he doesn’t want to feel the wrath of his mother and he sits up, rubbing at his eyes groggily. It’s not that he doesn’t like waking up at the ass crack of dawn, it’s just . . . No, he hates it. He doesn’t understand why he has to do the chores everyday, and Natsu gets to wake up at a reasonable time. But, he swings the blanket off his legs, shivers, and stands up.

He goes through his normal routine quickly: brush his hair and teeth, throw on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt that might be dirty, slip on his boots, and be as quiet as possible. His mom worked late last night—again—and he doesn’t want to wake her.

As he steps out onto the porch, he shivers. The air is a little chilly for a late-summer morning, but he doesn’t mind all too much. He can hear the distant clucking of chickens, the occasional bleat from the sheep, and it brings him a sense of calming.

Again, he goes through his routine as fast as possible: check the fences and gates, give the animals their feed, collect the eggs from the chicken coop, check the fences and gates, let the sheep and cow out to graze, check the fences and gates.

And before he goes back in the house, check the fences and gates one last time. He can’t afford a repeat of last summer, when all the sheep somehow escaped and made their way halfway down the mountain before Shoyo had even noticed. He scrunches his nose up at the memory.

Before he even opens the door, he can smell eggs. Burning. He walks in and Natsu is standing at the stove, a panicked look on her face. They make eye contact and just stand there for a moment. Shoyo shakes his head and laughs. “Couldn’t have waited a couple minutes?”

“You take forever to do chores. How was I supposed to know when you were coming back in?” She rolls her eyes and takes the pan off the stove, dumping the remains of the eggs into the garbage can. “Can you, like, make me something? I’m starving.”

He nods, snickering again. The clock on the stove reads 6:52–he’s kind of surprised that Natsu is even awake at this hour. Usually she wakes up twenty minutes before they have to leave for school and frantically rushes around the house.

He makes her eggs, sits at the table with her while she eats, listens to her talk about her dream food through a mouthful of food, and then cleans her plate when she’s done. He thinks—no, he knows that she’s a spoiled brat, but he doesn’t care all that much. As long as she’s happy, so is he.

On the ride to school, they have the same animated talk they always do. Natsu is talking about school, complaining about drama, and Shoyo is egging her on, laughing at the way she phrases things. He drops her off, then goes to school himself.

He’s never really liked school. The teachers talk too fast and they never answer his questions. He can’t pay attention, he never stops moving. His teachers like him, but always tell his mom at conferences that he talks too much. He’s perfectly content with his life on the farm and when he tried to drop out to help full time, his mom just about killed him.

He gets through the day by zoning out and messing around with his friends. He only gets in trouble twice—a personal record for him, he thinks. He gets out of school early because he’s a third year, so he sits outside of the middle for about an hour, attempting his homework while he waits for Natsu.

The car ride home is the same as this morning; Natsu talks, Shoyo talks, and they laugh together. He doesn’t think he’s ever laughed as hard as he does with Natsu. Even though she’s seven years younger than him, she gets his humor more than anyone else he’s ever met.

Natsu doesn’t have as much trouble in school as Shoyo does. She’s always been the smarter one, the one with better grades. Shoyo knows she’s going to go far in life.

When they get home, the house is empty. It usually is. There’s a container of food on the counter with a sticky note attached to it. The note reads, “working another night shift. Put this in the microwave for two minutes. Hope you kids had a good day! Don’f forget to do homework. Sho take the garbage out, Natsu do some laundry. Love you guys to the moon and back!”

It brings a smile to his face, but Natsu huffs and storms off to her room. Mom not being around takes more of a toll on Natsu than it does Shoyo. He figures it’s because she’s a pre-teen girl and he is, well, not.

He sits down at the table to do his homework for a couple hours, then calls Natsu in to try to help her. He gets more confused than anything. He puts the food in the microwave and they have dinner together, quietly.

At the end of the night, he takes the garbage out. He puts the sheep and cow back into their pens for the night and checks the fences and gates more than once. He takes a shower and flops down into his bed, almost immediately falling asleep.
