Sabertooth Guild as Pokémon Trainers
The way I have done this with Fairy Tail x Winx Club, Fairy Tail x Disney Descendants, and now.... Sabertooth x Pokémon 😅😭. I know I will not be able to get any work done if I don’t do this so here you go!
Dobengal - Gym Leader
Now, now, I know we literally know nothing about him, but it’s fun to imagine what he would be like and what kind of Pokémon he’d have on his team!! 😭😅
Dobengal would be a fighting-type gym leader.
I see him being the 6th gym leader in your journey.
His gym would be in city, Iridiana.
Iridiana is Greek for rainbow! I chose this name because Dobengal uses some sort of rainbow magic in canon.
Imagine his gym is similar to a fighting dojo!! All of the trainers you have to battle would be members of his family!
Be prepared to battle many Mienshao, Machamp, Hitmonchan, all of those cuties.
Please train your team before challenging his gym. PLEASE. All of his team excels in speed.
Dobengal has many Pokémon and he constantly rotates his party. You never really know who he will send out and that’s what is so terrifying about challenging him. You think you can defeat him by bringing in a flying type? Dobengal counters that with his Weavile. Psychic type? Counters with his Bisharp.
Neither of those two Pokémon are fighting types, but he does not give a damn.
His most common team is usually:
Hariyama
Ninjask
Lucario
Weavile
Gallade
And his biggest triumph card, his Greninja.
Froakie was his first-ever starter, and until this very day, is the only Pokémon he has never switched out from his party.
He gave it the name Kunai because when he was a kid, they used to play ninjas together. Dobengal’s choice of weapon was shuriken and Kunai’s choice of weapon was a kunai!
If you have ever watched Pokémon XYZ series... Yes, he and his Greninja share the same bond as Ash does with his.
Dobengal-Greninja!!
Do you remember that one Pokémon trainer Tobias who had a literal Latios AND Darkrai on his team??
Yeah, he also has an Urshifu (Fighting-Water).
Urshifu, for many reasons, is not used for his gym battles. He never caught Urshifu into a pokéball! They just love to have each other around.
Cute note! Dobengal and his family started a home for nursing sick and injured Pokémon back to health!! 😭🥺. Whenever he is not working at his gym, you can always find him at the shelter taking care of Pokémon. He loves Pokémon SOOOO MUCH.
You actually found him at the shelter because you found an injured Pokémon on the way to Iridiana City. He would be so grateful for you to bring in the Pokémon here. Once they were okay, you two would proceed to his gym.
It was not an easy battle. You challenged him like what, 3-5 times? But you would never feel embarrassed by losing. Dobengal is strict and scary in battle, but he will always make sure to give you supportive advice. He wants you to learn from your mistakes and become the best trainer for you and your dear Pokémon.
One day, you finally beat him!! He’d be so proud. It wasn’t easy with his Dobengal-Greninja & Mega Gallade, but you did it. He’d congratulate you with the TM, Close Combat, as well his gym badge, the Ninja Badge.
Sorano/Angel Aguria - Pokémon Performer
She is beauty, she is grace, and her Pokémon will gracefully kick you in the face!! Miss Sorano Aguria!
Sorano had sort of a rocky start to her path as a Pokémon trainer. She used to be one of the elite members, AKA the Six Prayers, of the now-disbanded team, Team Oración Seis.
It has been years afterward and Sorano has begrudgingly paid her time with the Magic Council. She has now reunited with her younger sister, Yukino Aguria, and the girls have started a new slate of sisterhood.
It truly was a struggle to find out what she wanted to do. She’d always see Yukino come home from work all exhausted and happy. Now, Sorano adored her baby sister. She loved to see her succeed with her work!
She did despise Yukino’s best friend and coworker, Lucy Heartfilia, but that’s another story.
But, it kind of sucked seeing her sister make all of the big moves and she was stuck at home watching her 10th rewatch of Keeping Up With Blue Pegasus.
But, on her 11th rewatch, something clicked for her when Jenny Realight smacked BFF, Karen Lilica, for sleeping with her boyfriend, Hibiki Lates.
Sorano was so much better than everyone on that goddamn show and she deserved as much stardom as those Blue Pegasus trainers.
What’s not to like? She's funny, honest, beautiful, and stylish, don’t look at her criminal record. She can be just as famous and popular as them!
And so forth began her path onto become a star.
She decided to pursue a career as a Pokémon Performer.
Sorano had all of the support from her precious sister and the mockery of her ex-teammates from Team OS.
But that did not stop them from going to all of her performances and getting front-row seats.
As well as going with her to every store to find her the right outfit for her first showcase. As well as doing her hair and makeup. As well as going to all of her rehearsals and giving her constructive criticism. She will always have her boys’ support. They’ll never say it aloud though.
Erik got arrested on the 1st night of Angel’s showcase. It’s not his fault! A stranger in the crowd had insulted her. Erik walked out of the showcase with a smile on his face and handcuffs on his wrists.
She soon earned the nickname, Angel! It is because she carries the grace and elegance of an angel when performing.
Angel specializes in flying-type Pokémon!
Her team consists of:
Mawile
Oricorio (Sensu-Style)
Swanna
Togekiss
Altaria
Lugia
Back in her time in Team OS, each of the 6 Prayers was gifted a legendary Pokémon by their ex-master, Brain.
Sawyer wields Deoxys (Speed Form)
Richard wields Regirock.
Erik wields Eternatus.
Macbeth wields Yveltal.
She dearly loves all of her Pokémon. Mawile is the only non-flying type in her team. She keeps it in her team because it was a gift from Yukino.
She loves to soar the skies with all of her team. Angel puts on the best showcases and later became a superstar. She's on all the magazines, has her own podcast, and will soon be having her own show: Fiore’s Next Top Pokéformer.
Please don’t let her be in the same room as Lisia.. There can only be one star with an Altaria.
Yukino Aguria - Scientist
Yukino grew up with her roommates and best friends, Lucy Heartfilia and Hisui Fiore.
She had lost her parents at a young age and her elder sister had taken off with the wrong crowd for a few years. It was difficult to watch the news of Team OS causing destruction in the region. She had tried many times to get through to her sister, but it had never worked. One day, with the help of trainers from the Fairy Tail school, Team OS was defeated. Yukino had the comfort of her friends when her sister was arrested.
Yukino tried to reach out to her, but Sorano (ridden with guilt and shame) didn’t speak with her for some time. It wasn’t until a few years into Sorano’s imprisonment that she finally reached out to Yukino.
It was with the help of higher powers in the world that had given the sisters a chance to bond again.
Sorano was free, Yukino moved out from her apartment, and the sisters settled down at a home together.
Yukino and her BFFs all work in the Aether Foundation (Lusamine has stepped down and Loke is now the head of it all.) Yukino, Lucy, and Hisui are scientists who are researching the Ultra Wormholes & Beasts.
Yukino has always had a passion for science and Pokémon. She always excelled at science in school. Yukino loves to visit her coworker Lisanna Strauss who works in the medical field of AF and helps find cures for injured Pokémon.
Lusamine was someone Yukino had so much respect for and it hurt once she learned of the woman’s true colors. She, her friends, coworkers, as well as Lusamine’s children, had worked together to put an end to Lusamine.
Yukino was the reason they could stop Lusamine and Necrozma. With her research, they were able to travel to Ultra Megalopolis. Yukino became the face of many scientific journals afterward.
The foundation was in a troubled state after Lusamine’s departure, but the girls have been rising in the ranks and helping create a new and safe image for their work. Yukino has been intrigued by Lusamine’s work and has been researching the UW more in-depth. She wanted to know if there were more Ultra Beasts out in the world and wanted to help them and make sure a situation like Lusamine never happened again.
With the combined teamwork of her & the Ultra Recon Squad, they found more Ultra Beasts.
Yukino had become even more popular. As a form of gratitude, the Ultra Recon Squad, had given her an UB to have as her own; Celesteela.
Yukino was never one to go down the path as a Pokémon trainer like most of her friends from Sabertooth High. She was a scientist and she did carry a few Pokémon. But, she never wanted to own an Ultra Beast. She just wanted to help and discover new things about them and the world they live in.
However, Celesteela wanted to be with Yukino. Celesteela was Yukino’s research beast and it had grown to love Yukino. Yukino couldn’t say no to it, and accepted it onto her team.
Yukino’s team consists of psychic and steel Pokémon.
Celesteela
Metagross
Solrock
Lunatone
Oricorio (Pa’U Style; a gift from Sorano.)
Copperajah
Rufus Lore - Elite Four
Off topic, but Rufus reminds me of Avery and Bede from SWSH. I say this in a good way because I love all 3 of them.
Rufus is a child prodigy. He came from a rich family and had a personal trainer as a kid. His parents were infamous trainers and are close friends of the owner of Parfum Palace in the Kalos region.
Rufus had a natural talent for Pokémon and always won his battles. He wins his battles with his smart skills and quick thinking. He quickly rose in the ranks and became a trainer. One of the past E4 members in the Ishgar region had left due to an illness. Rufus had decided to test his strength and try to earn the spot of the new E4. It was a difficult process, even for him, but he was the only one who stood out to the champion and E4.
He became the newest member not so long ago. Each of the E4 excel in one base stats. He excels highly in defense.
Rufus wields psychic and fairy-type Pokémon.
His team consists of:
Hatterene
Sigilyph
Meowstic
Unown
Galarian Rapidash
Alakazam
His arena is a library, similar to Shauntal’s arena from Unova. But rather all purple, his is pink and sophisticated. He has his instruments in his arena and most of the time, you will find him singing as he plays on his piano or harp.
Rufus is new, and a little experienced. He is not one to admit his mistakes, but his new E4 friends are always there to help him grow as a member of the E4. He is not one to accept defeat well, but he is slowly learning to accept it. It’s the perfectionist in him. But as time goes by, he lets go of that part of himself.
Rufus remembers all of his opponents and will take each lesson he learns from each battle with him.
Rufus first pokémon was Hatterene as a kid. He will never let anyone know this, but he had chosen Hatterene because they both wore hats. That was his logic back then.
Please beware of his Hatterene when it completes it Gigantamax. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. TAKE THE L.
Orga Nanagear - Elite Four
ORGA <333
The oldest of the E4. He is like a big brother to everyone. He’s the favorite of everyone. He’s a really nice and outgoing guy, with a horrible voice. He was found by the champion on the streets of Nimbasa City. The champion watched his battle with Elesa. They were fascinated with his attitude and skills. They had later brought in Orga for further interest, and he later earned the title as an E4.
Orga specializes in electric-type pokémon!
While Rufus specializes in defense, Orga specializes in attack!
His arena is a concert stadium.
Please for the love of God, WEAR NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES.
No matter how many times people tell him how atrocious his singing is, he does not believe it. His grandma said she loved his singing!
His grandma is just as awful at singing.
His arena is filled with groupies as he sings his original songs to them. You will battle him in front of his fans.
Off topic, but Orga reminds me Tierno!! AHHH
Orga’s team consists of:
Magnezone
Luxray
Tapu Koko
Toxtricity (Amped-Form)
Electivre
Hawlucha
Now, Hawluchia is not an electric type, but!! You know how Ash’s Hawlucha acts? That’s how Orga’s Hawlucha behaves. He loves this little guy OMG.
Orga may look like a giant, but he is such a softie for tiny pokémon. Especially tiny electric pokémon.
Emolga, Pichu, Pachirusu, Plusle, Minun, Jolteon, Yamper, Helioptile, Dedenne, Togedemaru, Morpeko.... HE LOVES THEM ALL!
Orga’s a fair sport if he loses. He’ll definitely think you’re awesome and will give you merchandise and a signed CD of his original songs.
There’s a bucket of his CDs piled on the garbage can on the way to the next E4.
Rogue Cheney - Elite Four
HONEY BEAR <33333
Rogue had a similar past to Sorano! He was a part of Team Phantom Lord, but he was not one of the higher ranks. He was a part of Team PL since he was a child. His father, Skiadrum, was one of the higher officials and wanted Rogue to take his spot.
Team PL had disbanded after being defeated by the Fairy Tail dojo, and Skiadrum was soon arrested by the Magic Council. Rogue was put into a foster home soon after. He only had 2 things with him. (1) His cat, Frosch. (2) The pokémon his father wanted him to wield once he was older, Zekrom.
Rogue had no idea what to do with Zekrom. It was the last gift from his father. But his father wanted him to use it for evil purposes.
But that was the thing. Rogue did not want to be evil.
Hell, he had no idea what he wanted to be.
The guilt had overwhelmed him and he had escaped his foster home. Rogue had been on his own for a while now and he still had not taken Zekrom out of its pokéball. Rogue started to live a small, quiet life in Ishgar, but his father’s enemies had found out he had Zekrom.
Rogue was on the run for some time and had escaped captivity from his father’s enemies. One day, when he was older, he had unintentionally run into the champion of Ishgar. The two had started a blooming friendship.
Rogue liked talking to this person. They were so kind and easy to talk to. They had kept their friendship for years. The champion went off working and taking care of the throne, Rogue working a small, life. He rounded up a few Pokémon of his own but had never started a journey. Rogue slowly grew to bond with Zekrom. He didn’t view Zekrom as a legendary monster, bur rather a friend.
And one day, the champion visited him and asked to battle him.
It was an even match, but Rogue had lost.
Embarrassment filled him, but it soon turned to astonishment when he found out the champion was testing his skills. They had decided to make him a part of their E4.
Rogue was speechless.
There were so many contenders who could make a better E4 and they chose him?
The champion said all the other contenders lacked something that Rogue had, and that was empathy.
It was Rogue’s love for Zekrom and his team that the champion knew he would be perfect.
Rogue was the second of the current E4 to join.
His arena is simple but classy. It resembles Drayden’s gym in Unova.
Orga specializes in attack, Rufus specializes in defense, and Rogue had specialized in both speed and special attack.
Rogue’s team consisted of a mixture of dark, ghost, and dragon-type pokémon.
Zekrom
Dusknoir
Haxorus
Hydreigon
Purrloin
Dragapult
He is the only member of the E4 who does not use mega evolutions, Z-moves, or Dynamax. Do not underestimate him though. There’s a reason why he is an E4 member.
Just like Orga, Rogue adores tiny pokémon. That is why he has Purrloin on his team. It is very nice friends with Frosch.
Rogue is very smart, but also kind in battle. He enjoys seeing people’s love for their partners and always wants what is best for them.
Sting Eucliffe - Elite Four
The final and strongest member of the E4!! <333
Sting was the third to join the E4. He was the only one to defeat all 8 of Ishgar’s gym leaders. He managed to defeat Orga, Rogue, and the previous E4 members. But, he had lost to the champion.
The champion saw traits similar to Orga and Rogue. Sting had Orga’s attitude, while also having Rogue’s empathy.
The champion loved how kind Sting had treated all of his pokémon after he had lost.
Sting is a very carefree guy and doesn’t take things to heart.
The champion had offered him a spot right then and there. One of the previous E4 members was leaving for unknown circumstances.
Sting had taken the job right on the spot.
Sting specialized in speed and special defense.
He specializes in dragon-type pokémon.
His team is:
Reshiram
Duraludon
Noivern
Garchomp
Salamence
AbsoL
Absol was his first ever pokémon. He loves it dearly.
He and Rogue became fast friends when he became a member of the E4. Partly because each of them wielded a legendary dragon type. Reshiram and Zekrom are very good friends.
Sting’s the most easy going, but he is also the most serious in battle. He takes his job very seriously. but don’t be too scared of him! He just wants you to understand the importance of what it means to get here and to be prepared for the champion.
Minerva Orlando - Champion of the Ishgar Region
THE QUEEN. I LOVE FEMALE CHAMPIONS. WE LOVE YOU CYNTHIA, DIANTHA, & IRIS. <33333
Since forever, the Orlandos have ruled Ishgar. Minerva’s father, Jiemma, was the previous champion before he was surpassed by his daughter. Jiemma surpassed his mother, his mother surpassed his grandfather, and so on.
It's tradition.
Minerva was the fastest Orlando to become champion. She was an all-around trainer and took Ishgar by storm.
Each of the E4 excel in particular areas.
Minerva? She excels in it all.
She may be intimidating, but she does care for those around her deeply.
She was the one who helped Sorano get a shortened sentence, allowing the Aguria’s to reunite.
She was also the one to help Orga, Rogue, and Sting become E4 members.
She had helped Rufus design his arena and become less of a perfectionist.
She was the one who helped Dobengal build his shelter for Pokémon.
Minerva Orlando will do anything for those she loves.
Minerva does not have one specific type of pokémon.
Like I said, she’s an all-rounder. Her team consists of:
Palkia
Ninetales
Serperior
Gardevoir
Scolipede
Aurorus
There is a reason why no one has been able to dethrone her. It’s because she is the very best of them all.

FAIRY TAIL HEADCANONS PT. 2
Lisanna actually confessed to Natsu when they were kids. She got rejected. Eventually, they became friends again but at the cost of Gray and Cana threatening her to not try and abuse that chance.
Makarov forced the Fairy Kid Gang to go to school at one point. It didn't end well (Levy blew up the building. Gray and Natsu walked out looking swag as fuck, and Cana was counting cards on the way out)
Levy has both Requip and Letter Magic
Levy is Freed's apprentice. Happened after the Phantom Lord Arc
Laxus and Freed made out the night Laxus got excommunicated. They're dating but they're just hiding it from the guild. Even Mirajane doesn't know
Weisslogia and Skiadrum actually regret the memory altering they did with Sting and Rogue
Dobengal and Gray are besties. Don't ask why, they just are.
None of the kids with dragon parents know how to confess the right way. All they know how to do it is the dragon way and nobody else understands the dragon way except them.
Dragons actually have their own continent split into different countries.
The Celestial Spirit King actually does have a key, but nobody's allowed to use it because of something that happened in the past.
After Levy recovered from Phantom Lord, the carved mark of the guild is still near the lower right part of her stomach. It's just healed and reduced to little pink lines, but they're still there. Gajeel feels bad about it everyday.
Shadowgear broke up at one point.
Gray smokes weed.
Bickslow also smokes weed.
Fairy Kid Gang has matching piercings.
Every member of Fairy Tail has never passed their psych eval. Do with that what you will.

Relationship with others in Sabertooth.
I haven’t gone into anything specific with the main members really as Rogue is still getting to know everyone properly and i’d like to leave things open for plotting with Saber muses ( wherever they may be 😭 )
As said, Sabertooth was a cold guild where bonds of camaraderie and friendship could not grow. Rogue had joined the guild sometime after his time with the Rune Knights. Both the Knights and Sabertooth were strict, disciplined places, which suited him well in his efforts to have the most control of himself.
Sabertooth was lonelier than he expected, especially coming from the Knights, where working as with others in units was the everyday. He had heard of the bonds within guilds, but it was clear none existed in Sabertooth. He told himself this was okay.
While in the guild under Jiemma, Rogue had little interaction with his fellow Sabers (aside from Sting, Fro, and Lector of course). Sabers rarely gathered in one place, always expected to be moving onto the next job, never hanging around. When they were together, it was typically to hear orders from Jiemma and they were not allowed to linger afterwards.
Rogue, being a distant sort by nature and being aware of Jiemma’s views, made no outward effort to get to know anyone else in the guild. He did, however, learn a little about the top mages whenever they would compete in the Games and he observed them, learning what he could about their personalities at least.
But Yukino, new to the guild, was someone he couldn’t get much info on. She was, however, polite when they met and there was something about her that seemed sad, lonely. As one of the rare, new members to the guild, her arrival made him think of how the guild was run and how she had joined them but was not to be considered a comrade, just as no one else in the guild could be considered one. Most mages who joined a guild felt as if they had joined a family, a group of friends at least, but Rogue knew that would never be the case for the mages of Sabertooth. Yukino had joined an army of coldness and was alone in the sea of it.
Her excommunication is an event that he regrets even now. When she was made to strip in front of everyone, he did give her the respect of looking away, but in his mind now it was also him turning away from the injustice happening to her. And that was not okay. He feels he should have stood up for her, or at the least gone to find her after to check on her (he did check on her, but it is a while after the GMG, she did not rejoin Saber after that ball).
She was his comrade and he stood by while she was humiliated. To later have Natsu burst in and be so angry on her behalf was something that further shook him and continued to make him rethink his beliefs. Seeing Yukino be tossed away as she was, told she was pathetic, also reminded him of how he had once felt at the hands of Gajeel.
But anyway, Rogue is still an immensely private person, but he makes an effort with his fellow Sabers now. He is determined to do better, to never turn away from them. He is not super close with any of them aside from Sting, Frosch, and Lector but he is more open to them. He sometimes fears getting close to others, worried that the Shadow might hurt them, but he tries to put that aside and have faith that nothing like that will happen.
#last old one done yay#❰ ◐ ― headcanon. rogue. ❱#i do feel like he'd vibe well with rufus and dobengal#they'd be chill

NaLu Week - Day 3
Day 3 Prompt: Fears
Summary: Lucy makes a decision that forces Natsu to face his fear of opening up.
@allaboutnalu @thenaluarchive
The whole of the Fairy Tail guild knew Natsu and Lucy were meant for each other. It had been obvious from day one. Even though the two never showed it, everyone knew they were head over heels for each other, and assumed that the couple knew it too. Until Lucy started dating.
It started out small. She would skip late nights with the team because she “had plans” Then she started skipping jobs that would have them gone for more than a day or so. Natsu began to pick up the scent of new people on her when she came home. He tried to pretend he didn’t notice the confused and pitiful looks his guildmates gave him when Lucy left the guild that night claiming she had a date.
Avoiding the rest of the guild seemed like the best way to avoid the questions he didn’t have answers to, so he left shortly afterward, strolling down to the market. Aimlessly wandering the street he found himself wondering about Lucy’s new habits. He had never really considered asking Lucy to be his, mainly because he kind of thought she already was. He knew that people often considered him thoughtless or idiotic, blind to the way he and Lucy were made for each other, but the truth was that he simply assumed they had been on the same page.
As he wandered the market, he caught the scent of Lucy, mixed with the odor of another man, one from the Saber Tooth guild, if his nose could be trusted. He knew from experience that bumping into the couple on accident (or not) would do nothing but enrage Lucy, so he ducked into an alleyway. He cringed inwardly at himself. Hiding in the shadows from Lucy? What is wrong with me!? I shouldn’t care. If she wants to date other people, then that is her business. I shouldn’t feel like I have to hide…
Still, he pressed himself deeper into the shadows of the alley as the man Lucy was with walked past his hiding place on his own. Natsu heard him let out a frustrated sound, and then he heard Lucy sigh heavily and plop herself down on a bench beside the river. He studied the wall for a handhold, certain he was going to be here all night if he couldn’t climb the wall when he heard Lucy call out.
“I know you are there Natsu. Dobengal saw you. Just come sit with me already.” She sounded disappointed and he winced slightly as he crept out of the shadows.
“I swear I wasn’t following you! I was just walking through the market. It wasn’t on purpose.” He sat down beside her gingerly, his voice tense in preparation for her anger. Lucy just shook her head.
“It doesn’t matter anymore. I don’t care how you ended up here. The date’s over, and he says we are too. Ugh!” She buried her face in her hands and Natsu felt his stomach lurch.
“You really cared about him, huh? Wait, Dobengal….isn’t that the name of that Sabertooth ninja dude I wiped the floor with back during the Grand Magic Games way back when? I thought he smelled familiar.”
Lucy let out a very un-ladylike snort. “Yes, that’s him. And no….it isn’t that I care about him specifically… it’s just that….all my relationships seem to end the same way.” She sat up and sighed. Natsu cocked his head curiously. “Never mind. I’m gonna go home. Have a good night Natsu.” She stood up and he stood with her.
“I’ll walk you home. I wouldn’t feel right leaving you all alone after a breakup. I’m a better friend than that.” Slipping his fingers between hers, he led the way on a slow walk toward her apartment. She made an annoyed sound in her throat, but the blush on her cheeks and the way her heart sped up a bit told Natsu all he needed to know. As they walked, Natsu listened to the sounds around them. Lucy seemed lost in thought, and he was loathe to interrupt in case she was angry with him after all.
When they turned onto Strawberry Street, Lucy paused and looked at him. “It’s not your fault, but all my relationships end because of you.” Natsu looked at her, dumbfounded.
“M-me?! What did I do?”
Lucy sighed and pulled her hand away to cross her arms over her chest. “You exist. It’s almost impossible for me to get a date. No one asks me out, I have to go looking for them. And when I do finally find a date, it isn’t long before you bump into us somewhere, or they remember who my teammate is, and they leave. You have either already beaten the guy senseless before, or they are worried you will because we are partners. I think I am destined to be alone as long as you and I are partners. I guess I’ll just have to come to terms with that.” She turned and went into her building. “Goodnight Natsu” she called over her shoulder.
He stared after her blankly. He couldn’t lie to himself, it was nice to know that Lucy would choose to forego dating to remain his partner, but he was baffled by the notion that men avoided Lucy because of him. Sure, he had a reputation as a bruiser when it came to his family, but Lucy was an incredible woman. Attractive, intelligent, powerful, reliable, not to mention the incredible body that she did very little to conceal from any who wanted to look. The idea that his mere existence could discourage even the most forward of men like Bacchus or Hibiki was amusing and even pleasing to him, but it seemed to cause Lucy pain, and that he couldn’t abide.
Then again, what were his options? Pull away from Lucy, so she could develop a connection with another man? Give her up entirely, even as a working partner? The idea of his life without Lucy was terrifying and painful to even imagine. Lucy had helped him so much throughout the years of their friendship. Not just on jobs, but even as a person. He found that he was more thoughtful and reliable because of her influence. Mira had even mentioned that he seemed to be less headstrong and short-tempered since the year-long Fairy Tail break.
So he wasn’t willing to give her up to someone else, even for her happiness? That made him feel shitty and selfish. Then again, what if he could bring her happiness? He had known for a long time that he loved her and wanted to be more than just friends. He had even thought she felt the same, right up until she began seeing other people. He had put aside the possibility of her returning his feelings when she started dating…but if he wasn’t willing to let her go to another, then what else could he try?
Maybe he could hunt down boyfriends for her? Ones that wouldn’t be afraid of him in the first place? That sounded ridiculous, even to him. Besides, the only men that were guaranteed to not be afraid of him that he knew of were Gray and Jellal, plus the other wizard saints, and they were all taken, old, or Gray.
His options then, were to face his fear and tell her how he felt or face his fears and commit to a life without her. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that Lucy deserved to know how he felt in the first place. He had always trusted her before, so why had he never trusted her with this? Was heartbreak truly such an uncontrollable nightmare that he was unable to face it, even for Lucy? His frustration bubbled up so suddenly that he shook his head sharply, as though dislodging the unwelcome ideas.
The simple truth was, he was in love with Lucy, and he needed her to know. He looked up and launched himself to grasp the ledge of her apartment window without much thought. The pane was open, so he shifted the curtain aside and rolled in, landing neatly in a crouch. The room was filled with the strong scent of Lucy’s bubble bath, and the air was thick and hot with the steam that rolled out from under the bathroom curtain.
The heat never bothered Natsu much, but this….this heat, plus the concentrated scent of Lucy was enough to make his head spin and his pulse pound in his ears. He moved across the room and sprawled back on the couch, making himself at home as always. He closed his eyes, his sensitive ears listening to the gentle lapping of the water against the tub Lucy was relaxing in. It wasn’t nearly as long as he expected before he heard her pull the drain and step out. He stood up as she entered the room. Her eyes locked onto him and narrowed almost immediately.
“Hi, sorry, I needed to see you. There are some things I need to say to you.” Lucy was wrapped in a fluffy white towel, so he kept his eyes locked on the wall beside her head. It worked out better for him since he was pretty sure he would lose his nerve if he saw her expressions.
“I know you said that you would come to terms with being alone as my partner, but I can’t allow that. You want a boyfriend, and you deserve to have whatever you want. I would do anything to make you happy Luce, really. I even thought about ending our team if that would make you happier, even though I think it might kill me. You deserve to know the truth about my feelings, and I shouldn’t have left it for so long to tell you. I can’t imagine my world or a future without you in it. You’re in my daydreams, my nightmares, and everything bittersweet in between. I…I love you, Lucy. Truly.”
He swallowed hard after finishing, and after a moment, he forced his eyes to meet hers. She was standing still, with her arms across her chest. Her narrowed eyes had widened, and her mouth was hanging open slightly. For all the time he had spent studying her face, he couldn’t read this expression at all. The longer they stood silent, the more tense he became. Finally, he shoved his hands into his pockets and shifted slightly.
“Um, that’s all. I’ll er….leave you be now. G’night Luce.” He started to turn toward the door when she snapped at him.
“Sit down!” her tone wasn’t unkind, but it was sharp, and it was clear that she wasn’t playing around. His ass hit the couch faster than it ever had when Erza yelled at him. He ducked his head and sat silently, awaiting his fate, but Lucy walked away. She went into her closet and closed the door. Natsu let out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding and watched her shadow move under the door as she got dressed. Now that the words were out, he could do nothing to mitigate whatever damage they may have done. Plus, Lucy had shut him out, making certain that his mind would supply him with a thousand ways she might react.
When she finally reemerged, she was wearing one of his shirts and a pair of tight shorts. Her wet hair had been lazily twirled up and clipped behind her head. She crossed the room and sat down next to him, her thigh pressing against his. She didn’t look at him, instead focusing on her bookshelf across the room.
“How long have you kept that from me?” she asked quietly.
“I.. er…. I don’t know really. It’s kinda hard to say exactly when…” At the look she shot him he grinned sheepishly. “At least since Tenrou?” He yelped and covered his head with his hands as she began smacking him.
“Natsu, you complete ass! Do you have any idea how hard it was to start dating other people in the first place?!”
“What are you talking about?! Hard for you? What about how hard it was for me to watch that? To smell another man on your skin, in your hair, around your home?” He jumped off the couch, dodging another swipe at his head. He caught her wrist and yanked, pulling her up against him. She twisted in an attempt to pull away and he caught her around the waist, dragging her back against him again. “If you smack me again I will pin you against that wall, Lucy.” Her back was pressed against his chest, and he still held her wrist captive. She squirmed and he let out a low growl.
“Oh, should I not do that Natsu? Does it bother you?” Her tone was teasing, but he could hear her voice tremble in time with the quiver that ran down her spine and through her thighs.
“Lucy…” he warned, “If you have any desire to keep this relationship platonic, do not do that again.” She turned her head to the side so that his nose was against her temple.
“N-Natsuu….” She breathed his name out like it was the only word she knew, and his arm tightened around her waist. She smirked and rolled her hips back against him again, drawing another groaning growl from him. “I don’t.”
A few hours later, Natsu watched a naked Lucy combing tangles from her hair. He was laying on her bed, covered with nothing but a sheet across his hips and the love bites that were rapidly darkening his neck. He smiled softly at the sight of her, and for the life of him, he couldn’t remember what he had been so afraid of.

Alright, let’s go through my thoughts on these one by one. I’ve honestly avoided posting about Sabertooth, as they are my favorite guild and two of my favorite characters are in there.
FIRST OFF, it’s Olga, not Orga. There are no “L”s in Japanese, so “Oruga” is how they say “Olga”.
Okay first off, yes Minerva you eat along with Kagura. Also, intimidating lesbian much??
If you don’t know, Sting and Rogue are my children. Stingue is my otp, I honestly love their dynamic and think they look great together. Getting a whole mini arc about Sting in the final season was a dream come true to me. (I remember texting an old friend of mine two years ago screaming that “if Mashima-Sensei killed Sting, I would end him”)
Seeing the whole group together is awesome. They’re all on my cosplay list, especially Rufus. He is the parent friend, and you cannot tell me otherwise.
