My son loves dandelions.

He picked one the other day and brought it to me, just the unbloomed, golden head, and said it was too cold outside for it. He wanted to bring it in so it would have a chance to live.

How do you tell your son that as soon as you pick a flower, it dies?

The dreadful lessons we teach our children.

Akira: What's your plan, Crow?

Akechi: Oh, I'm just setting a little example.

Akira: I don't see how burning down Tokyo is going to help you become a king.

Akechi: Baby steps. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Akechi, grinning: ... but it did burn in one.

Gajevy fic recs - 6/18

THIS LIST DOES NOT HAVE THE EXTERNAL LINKS, JUST LINKS TO TUMBLR! RB THE LIST WITH THE EXTERNAL LINKS HERE

Hey guys! As promised here’s a new fic rec list for Gajevy fans! (wow it’s been almost a year since my last fic recs xD) Please go ahead and add your recs as well because all these authors deserve so much love!!! Don’t forget to check my previous rec lists as well (1, 2, 3, 4).  As usual, fics are in not any specific order.

Please please please if you like any of these stories let the writer know! Comment, reblog or review the stories to show these writers your love!

Multichapters

Iron Heart by @spikerr  (Deadderson in ffnet) Dragonrider!Gajeel does everything to earn the trust of scriptor!Levy. Danger is nearby and they have to join forces to find out what is going on before it is too late. Obviously, Pantherlily teases Gajeel to no end about his sudden interest on the little scriptor. Crossover with Dragonriders of Pern and fantastic fanart by @kitsunefire7fan here and here

Death and the Lady by StevMarie (ffnet) This is another one that goes to the ‘must read’ tier. Deathreaper!Gajeel and angel!Levy. The buildup of this story is so amazing and you just can’t stop reading it! There’s something evil looming over everyone and they should prepare for a massive fight to protect those that they hold dear!

Wildflowers by WeebCommander (ffnet) Okay, my only way to describe this is a wild fucking ride! Honestly, this fic is elaborated and have many symbolisms but the more you get into the story the more you understand that your previous theories were all wrong. No matter what I say, nothing will do justice to this fic so just go ahead and read it! Rated M

Dragonic by @batman-saurus (ffnet) I can’t contain my heart with each chapter of this fic! King!Gajeel saves Levy from a horrible future and Levy teaches Gajeel the common language. But he soon learns much more than just words. It’s such a heartwarming fic that you’re definitely going to love!

The Damsel’s Dragon by secretPersonalities (ffnet) Where do I begin with this?! Amazing AU fic with Levy befriending a dragon and trying to protect him from the evil that lurks nearby. Levy sometimes is too kind-hearted and gets herself in lots of trouble for that. Luckily, Gajeel is never too far from her.

Parole series by @sketcher1994 (Parole, Submerge, Incinerate, Entomb, Suffocate) Amazing story with so much tension! Parole officer!Levy gets tangled in the life of ex-convict!Gajeel and things turn so dangerous when Gajeel’s past comes back after him. tw: some violence and mentions of murder and aggression.

An arrangement by @chesxca-c (ffnet) Uffff *clenches heart* You like arranged marriage AUs? This is a ‘must read’ for you! Amazing story that is slowly building up the immense amount of tension and anguish on those two souls that had been promised in marriage to save their kingdom. Plus blue haired siblings ❤️ ! Rated M and look out for the tw in some chapters

The Devil’s Contract by @mangaguitar96 (ffnet) Gajeel makes a contract with Devil!Levy to avenge his family. See how many things they go through to achieve this goal while slowly finding something more within each other. Black Butler AU!

One-shots

Gajeel! you stepped on DJ Roomba! by @andiswrite /@capaleran2 (ffnet) Modern AU. Freaking hilarious one-shot with a very energetic Levy and a caring Gajeel. Inspired by ‘Parks & Recreation’

Broken Promises by @inkscript (ffnet) Council!Gajevy. Before Levy leaves for her mission to infiltrate to Avatar, Gajeel has some things he needs to say. Very sweet and heartwarming fic!

His eyes by @smartcookie727 (ffnet) College AU. The banter is strong in this one and it’s undeniable how much they like each other ❤️I died at imagining Gajeel with glasses and I died again at seeing @bianww art for this fic here

The Willow Maid by @arryire  (ffnet) Fantasy AU. Amazing build up of a fantasy world. The way Levy and Gajeel’s relationship develops is so amazingly sweet and full of magic. But someone has to be fool enough to try to take Levy away from Gajeel.

And finally, self-promo time with my recent fic Caring with injured Levy and worried Gajeel ❤️

Happy reading everyone!

Remember everyone! Show these writers some love and comment and share their works! Most of them have multiple stories, so be sure to check out their blogs/profiles to read more from them! Anyone is invited to add their own recs as well so go ahead :D

Just saw someone on tiktok say “The ships that we need to be talking about are the ships where there’s one person who wears crocs and the another person who hates the fact that they’re in love with someone who wears crocs”.

Anyway, Laxus wears crocs (with white socks) and Gajeel hates that he’s in love with someone who wears crocs. In this essay I will…

So like, I noticed on ao3 you can see who has bookmarked your work, and like, curiosity got to me so I clicked it. And I saw a couple notes people made. And like, you shouldn’t let strangers opinions on the internet bug you, and they bookmarked it so they like it? But wow that was a little demoralizing.

When I get overstimulated, I do in fact want to strangle everyone. But don’t worry! I’m also well aware I’m overreacting.

[stevmarie]

It matters to absolutely no one, but after 45 arduous minutes I finally (finally) nailed down the place in time for TWIU. By things I have referenced, technically it’s year x792. But based off the ages I have the characters and timelines based off those ages, if it’s x792, then the dragons didn’t disappear in x777, they disappeared in x771. (This is all assuming we go off the date Gajeel joins, x784, as our jump off point, which is where it is in my head because the start of the fic states Laxus was recently let back into Fairy Tail) 🙃

If we use the dragons leaving in x777 as the starting point, we’re in year like… x798… which is 5 years after the 100-year quest starts.

(And all this does factor in the 7 year Tenrou Island time skip, because that was a headache to remember lol)

Not that the fic is canon-compliant. I haven’t watched/read the series since the Tartarus Arc. It’s canon adjacent at best. But it took me forever to crunch numbers so I’m dumping this here for you all to witness (and probably in author’s notes when I post the next chapter because let’s be honest who else am I going to tell?)

Edit: the fic STARTS in March x791, which was a coincidence. I didn’t research that when I wrote it. Currently, in chapter 132, it’s September x792. Literally, no one cares but me. One person asked where it was in the timeline like 3 months ago and it’s bothered me ever since…

My daughter has been sick so that means we’ve both been up all night crying :’) I just got two hours of sleep after being up since 3 am.

Last Line Challenge!

Rules - In a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or however many as you like.)

Tagged by: @rinzydings

Held off on this until I had some decent words. I've been working on two things:

RnS Last Line:

Tanguish didn't know the sign for ‘vampire cult,’ so he settled on pointing to Helsknight, and then curling his claws by his face to mime sharp teeth.

Last Art I Worked on:

I actually don't have the most up to date version on my phone, because it's a commission waiting for approval, but I do have a crop of the second to last WIP image.

Not tagging as many people as there are words because that's a lot, but I will tag:

@countthelions @wasyago @theminecraftbee @theninjamouse @stevmarie @leapdayowo @applestruda

You don't have to do the meme if you don't want to! I tried to tag people I know stay pretty busy with their awesome projects, and I know that means you might not want to drop what you're doing to do a tag. But just in case! Have fun ^_^

#queue #tag meme #tagged #tagged for me #the wip will probably approved by the time this exits my queue #so im not worried about pitting a commission snip up here #also tried to tag people i didnt think had been tagged already in my friend circle whoops #sorry if someone got missed!

[stevmarie]

There was a knock at the door. Three simple raps, nothing more. The silence that descended after seemed odd, settling into the room about them like the first frigid snow of winter. Laxus had the feeling he’d been caught doing something he shouldn’t, like a child playing with hexes to see if they were real.

“You think you know everything, Laxus! But you don’t!” Gajeel yelled at him, scales breaking across his flesh. The sharp of iron made Laxus dizzy. His eyes danced over fingers that looked like daggers and how they curled with purpose at his sides.

“I would know if you actually fucking told me! Maybe, I could even do something about it!” Laxus seethed as electricity slithered up his knuckles, danced and snapped in the air around him. He needed… he needed to calm down, “I’m not a goddamn damsel in distress, Gajeel!”

“AND I WAS?!”
