Headcanon: One of my favourites headcanon for them is that during the beginning of their relationship, everything is so so awkward. * And of the ways in which the nervousness translates into is holding hands. Ice magic + fire magic? Coming together? It can be the thermodynamic equilibrium of hand holding but they are so unused to these new feelings that all of it is a disaster lol. It takes them a while to get comfortable.
(*I actually deleted 3 paragraphs after this because I got carried away in rambling how awkward they are lmao.)
Songs:
Brother by Kodaline! I know it's not a romantic song but I think it fits their dynamic and I love it.
Be as One by w-inds!! Which is the 6th ending theme of Fairy Tail anime. I think the song goes great with gratsu and... it's one of my ongoing struggle to make an amv for it. (here is a very embarrassing thread of it.)

//Nothing new, just that lost iced shell scene recreated. In my defence, it was supposed to be a simple aesthetic and it went out of hand. I know, I don't know how to make AMVs but I just wanted to get this out of my head, lol//

Welcome to @fuckyeahgratsu‘s first Summer Event, which we’ve put together with @gratsu-week!
You can download a pdf of the Bingo Card here.
This event will run from July 1 - August 31. You might be wondering why on Earth it’s so long? Well, our goal is to have fun! Outside of Gratsu Week (July 16-22) when it will run like a regular event week, Gratsu Bingo is meant to be mellow.
Summer can be a busy time, sometimes we feel creative but don’t want the pressure of a full event. So we have put together 32 prompts, and given you the choice of 4 free prompts to do whatever you like (write that vampire AU, or that fic based on a song you can’t get out of your head. Whatever you like, those squares are up to you.)
Do whatever prompt you want, whatever day you want!
What types of entries will we accept?
Fanfiction (any length, including 5 Sentence Memes)
Fanart
Text Posts (Headcanons, Quotes, etc...)
Edits (Aesthetics, AMV’s, Memes, etc...)
Updates to WIP’s (The updated chapter must fit one of the prompts, for artists if you color a previously posted sketch it will also count)
Our goal is to keep creative over the summer and make more content for our favorite pairing. If you get 6 squares across or on the diagonals (Bingo) you can claim a prize. Participating in all prompts from Day 1-Day 6 of Gratsu Week guarantees you a Bingo. 💖 You may claim multiple bingos over the summer. 💖
What are the prizes? For a bingo you may request:
Headcanons
FanArt
Drabble or One-Shot
Aesthetics
If you manage to fill the entire card over the summer you can request a more substantial prize. We have some writers and artists lined up for prizes but if you would like to help us it would be greatly appreciated. Please contact any of the blog admins to let us know: @mdelpin, @akikonatsuko, @jinx13gxa or just message the blog directly.
This event will track the tag gratsubingo2019 and we will have a page on our blog to post your entries. If you have any questions please feel free to write us an ask! If you post on AO3, please add your work to our collection
