I combined two more, I hope that’s okay @justsomegruviastuff This was incredibly fun to write and I really like the ending! :D

Gruvia: 37. Everything has spiraled out of control, but you’re the only thing that has remained constant. AND 38. No matter what happens, I will love you.

The guild had disbanded. Natsu, who—though Gray loathed to admit—was really his best friend, and seemingly vanished. They had tried to stay banded together, but one by one the guild members, Gray’s family, drifted away down their own paths. All but one.

Juvia Lockser. She had been with him since the moment this had all gone down, and not once had she left his side. He couldn’t stand it anymore. Every day she seemed to be focused only on one thing: taking care of him, always making sure he was happy. Maybe it was the part of him that really, truly cared for her—but it wasn’t fair. Everyone else was following their dreams—making their way in the world. He didn’t want Juvia to forget about her dream, to put it aside out of some sense of duty to him.

It was cold one day—Winter was coming in fast. Gray wasn’t bothered much by the cold but he set up a fire in their little house to keep Juvia warm. The water mage had made hot chocolate and brought it out to their little living room, setting his on the coffee table, then brushing a strand of hair behind her ear before plopping down to sit next to him.

“Juvia,” Gray started, not daring to glance over at her—afraid that if he did he wouldn’t be able to go through with what he was about to ask her.

“Yes, Gray-sama?”

“Do you have a dream?” He whispered, clutching his mug with both hands, leaning towards the fire. Juvia was quiet for a moment, then let out a soft sigh.

“Juvia once had a dream. But now, she is not so sure she has one.”

“What do you mean?” Gray frowned, fear gnawing at his chest.

“Juvia once dreamed she would have this,” Juvia gestured around them, and Gray turned to look at her. There was a bright smile on her lips. “A house, a garden… a life with you, Gray-sama. And even though it wasn’t quite the way she expected it, Juvia’s dream has come true.”

Gray felt his cheeks flush. She dreamed of this? He had never once thought about it. He had grown to admire Juvia, to imagine that maybe one day he’d be able to call her his. But… to imagine that they’d have something of a life together like this…?

“But…” he paused, leaning back on the couch. “But don’t you have a dream—like everyone else—that you want to chase? Maybe you want to see the world? Or hone a skill? Or…” He shrugged his shoulders, “Anything. Juvia, the fact is… Everything with the guild seemed to spiral out of control, but you’re the one remaining constant. I don’t want to hold you back. I promise that, if you have a dream, I will be alright while you’re gone, fulfilling it—”

“Gray,” Juvia whispered. Gray froze, glancing over at her.

“You must have a dream,” he said.

“Juvia’s dream came true a long time ago,” she said, “It was always you. You are Juvia’s dream.” He was speechless. She continued on, “Promise Juvia you know that Juvia would never leave you.” She looked Gray directly in his eyes.

“I… I know,” he breathed, tears stinging at his eyes. “And you promise me you don’t have something else… somewhere else you’ve always dreamed of doing or seeing?”

Juvia laughed. “Gray-sama,” she set aside her mug and cupped both his cheeks, her warm hands seeming to thaw him. His shoulders relaxed. He let out a deep sigh. “No matter what happens Juvia will always love you. This place is Juvia’s dream. She will not leave you.” Gray smiled, leaning in to press a soft kiss to her lips. Juvia deepened the kiss, moving to sit in his lap. He smirked, pulling her close by her hip.

“Mm… I have a dream,” he murmured.

“What would that be?” Juvia asked, pulling away to look him in the eyes. Gray grinned, standing and lifting Juvia up with him. She wrapped her legs around his waist.

“I’ll show you,” Gray breathed, stealing kisses between each word, “It’s in the bedroom.”

Juvia giggled, tangling her fingers in his hair and pulling him in for another deep kiss as he moved slowly towards their room. “Juvia likes the sound of that.”

Swapped lives au (Pt 1)

So I mentioned something like this before in a post and it was a Gruvia au but I’ve been thinking about for most of the characters, it’s mainly ships but it’s also not?? Also some of the characters swapped their magic types while others just swapped their magic styles e.g Natsu and Juvia

I’ll probably focus on the first four and then if anyone is curious about what the other characters are like, just send me an ask and I’ll answer!

So the swapped characters right now are as followed:

Natsu - Juvia

Gajeel - Erza

Gray - Lucy

Wendy - Zeref

Levy - Jellal

Meredy - Lyon

Cana - Lisanna

Chelia - Mavis

Ultear - Brandish

Anna - Acnologia

Mira - Invel

Laxus - Cobra

I’ll probably just write up to a certain point for each character and not go through every single detail

In this post anyways ;)

Natsu

Natsu grew up in an orphanage because he was just left their by his parents due to the fact that everywhere he went he brought a constant heat wave and at first everyone loved it until everyone was getting severe sun burns, heat stroke, becoming very dehydrated and become forced to stay inside at all times, the kids hated Natsu for this and constantly bullied him and the only thing that brought Natsu comfort was sewing little lizards because lizards love the heat but of course this just makes things worse and the bullies started calling him “Salamander”, and one day when Natsu was a teen he got so angry at one of the boys was bullying him and he had enough and punched the boy in the face but without him realizing his arm had gone on fire as he was going to punch him causing the boy to get some severe burns and due to the backlash from this Natsu ran away

So of course Jose heard about Natsu’s whole situation, hunted him down and invited him to join phantom lord and become a part of the elemental three (There was no need for Totomaru in Jose’s mind because he already had Natsu and he had no watermage because Juvia was already in Fairy tail )

Natsu’s magic gives him the ability to change his whole body into fire and his three main magic moves are Fire lock, this move traps the target in a ball of fire and fire slicer and fire claw which are mainly moves that attack the target with fire that Natsu can summon

So Natsu joined Phantom Lord and became very close with the guilds number one member Erza Scarlet, a iron dragon slayer who’s obsessed with Armour because it’s protective and good for a quick snack during a battle, the two started to grow a tight brotherly sister bond

So Natsu was the one who helped kidnap Gray in the first place just like how Jose ordered and just from seeing him in that moment he knew that there was something about him that he just couldn’t put his finger on but he shrugged it of and continued with the job

Natsu didn’t doubt that Phantom lord was going to lose against Fairy tail in the fight for Gray Fullbuster for even a second until he laid his eyes on Lucy Heartfilia, bloody and sweaty from fighting and the heat, and this feeling just swept over him that he’d never felt before and he was like ????? and obviously after she swore to save her friend he was like ??? Again and then he was angry because why does she want to save him ?? Like ?? But a fight was a fight and so the two were just at eachother both trying as hard as the other until Lucy’s whole hand just touches his chest and he stops because her hands are cold even though they’re in the middle of his heat wave but she quickly moves the hand to go back to fighting until they pink haired boy in front of Lucy just collapses because it started to rain and he feels cold and he’s laughing and crying at the same time, and poor Lucy just sits there rubbing his back because what else is she gonna do when this man child is just crying during a fight

And in that instant Natsu knew that he was going to marry this woman, not only because she stopped his heat wave but because she didn’t judge him for crying about it she rubbed his back and helped him calm down, not even caring about the fight, so obviously the only sensible thing that Natsu could think to do right after was to buy a ring because priorities

Juvia

Juvia’s backstory is the same as Natsu’s actual backstory and not the one you just ready up there as in she’s from 400 years ago

Juvia had a normal childhood, she had two parents and a younger sister, Wendy who she loved and cared for but tragically Juvia and her parents died leaving her younger sister to fend for herself

Wendy and Juvia had a very close relationship and were never apart until the day when they had to be apart for the rest of their lives ofcourse that was until Wendy became insane and reincarnated Juvia

Of course Juvia doesn’t remember any of this due to the fact that Wendy reincarnated her, but Juvia after this was raised by Aquarius who taught her everything she knew about water magic

Juvia and Aquarius has a very special Mother and Daughter bond and Aquarius loved Juvia like she was her own daughter

Juvia was sent to the future by Acnologia,were Makorav found her and brought her to Fairy tail were she made it her life goal to find Aquarius, because she didn’t know that she was in the future or the Aquarius was a celestial spirit

While she was out exploring she came across Happy’s egg and just assumed that it was a present from Aquarius because “Aquarius~Chan always gave Juvia the biggest presents she could find” and of course her best friend/(Love interest??) Cana helped he nurture the egg until it hatched and Juvia met her new partner in crime Happy who instantly became her new bestie sorry Cana

Juvia gets given the name “Siren” due to her seeming nice at first but she’ll drown you bitch if she has to

She meets Gray in Hargeon and after having lunch with him after she saved him from a love spell she started to get a slight crush on him but brushed it off due to the fact that she’ll probably never see him again but after saving him for a second time from a woman claiming to be her but really she just wants him to sell him, Juvia was like alight this ones mine imma protect it so she invites him to Fairy tail and the three of them (Happy, Juvia and Gray ) become partners

Juvia’s attitude is mainly like Aquarius’s due to the fact that she was her role model so she’s very aggressive (Like Edo-Juvia) but when it comes to her talking to Gray, you can see that she becomes more shy and calm while if she was talking to Lucy she would have beeten her ten seconds after seeing her

Juvia had found out that Aquarius was a celestial spirit thanks to Gray who was talking about how Aquarius’s key hadn’t been found for 400 years, when Gray was saying this he was talking absentmindedly to Lucy whole Natsu and Juvia just sat across from them, Juvia daydreaming about going on a job and Natsu daydreaming about Lucy ;), but the second she heard Aquarius’s name she was up straight asking all these different questions, asking about what a celestial spirit was and why did Aquarius need a key if she slept in the lake and of course Gray laughs at this thinking that Juvia was just joking until he saw the tears in her eyes and he had to bring her into another room and explain everything hto her while everybody had their ears to the door trying to hear everything

Her and Lucy are obviously best frenemies

Gajeel

Gajeel’s backstory is the same as Erzas really except Gajeel was abandoned by his father Metalicana (Whos human in this au) and so he grows up in the tower of haven along with Levy

Since Gajeel didn’t have any last name Levy dubbed him the last name “Redfox” because as she said “You’re eyes are red and you’re hair is fluffy like a fox”

When Gajeel was put in the disciplinary chamber after attempting to escape with the others, he was tortured to the brink of death and he also lost the ability to use his left eye (Opposite of what Erza lost ;))

When he got to Fairy tail he had an instant disliking to Invel because he was very snarky and the two would always start having random fights

He had a very close bond with Juvia and Lucy, even taking the time out of his day to help Juvia learn how to read and write, much to Juvia’s dismay

When he seen Levy that day back int the tower of Haven, it broke his heart because how did sweet little Levy turn into someone to dark and ready to resurrect a man so twisted and evil,spending years of her life working on the tower of haven just to reach her goal , and that’s when he knew that, something wasn’t right

It broke his heart again when he left her their to die , but to him it finally came full circle when it was just him and her back in the tower

When he had seen his funeral, he couldn’t help but shed a few tears when he seen Juvia denying the fact that he was alive and see everyone crying, holding each other because if the great Gajeel has fallen then how does anyone else stand a chance in this cruel world, but once he had seen Juvia again after being saved by her, he then saw everyone and everything in a completely new light

Gajeel is obsessed with Strawberry cake, he doesn’t know why but he just is, maybe because it’s sweet just like how Levy used to be

Erza

When Erza joined Phantom Lord, she was cold and calculating to everyone, bar Natsu because they had a weird bond that no one could explain

She loathed Fairy tail with her whole being because they were their rivals, hating them so much that she was the one who initiated the war between Fairy tail and Phantom Lord, only stopping to fight when she got defeated by Juvia, who was enraged at the way that Erza was treating Gray

After Natsu forced her to join Fairy tail, she didn’t want anything to do with the guild until Master Makorov offered her a speacil mission that her ego just couldn’t refuse but to accept, but of course she couldn’t start the mission without apologising to shadow gear, or more like be forced to apologise by Jett and Droy who were hassinling her until the sun set until she saved Jellal from one of Cobra’s attack’s

Erza has shown how well she could sing by forcing Mira off the stage and singing in front of everyone, surprisingly enough she could sing very very well but her lyrics were very very bad

Finding pantherlily was the best day of Erza’s life because now she had someone to talk to on the days when she felt like she had nonone in this world

After bring in fairy tail for an amount of time, Erza found herself becoming very fond of Jellal and couldn’t help but feel a strong urge but to protect him at all costs

Gray

Gray grew up in his family’s estate with his mother and father along with their many servants until one day his mother passed away leaving Gray and his father alone together, after his mother died Gray found that him and his father were starting to drift away from eachother day by day so to avoid this from happening Gray decided to make his father a present, only to be shouted at by his father and be made leave the room causing him not to talk to his father for almost two weeks

Gray kept a picture of his mother in a cross shaped locket that he wore at all times, holding it close to his heart whenever he felt stressed about anything

Gray became a celestial Spirit Mage so that he could honour his mother’s memory and use the keys that she passed on down from her to him

The day that he met Juvia and joined fairy tail was one of the happiest days of his life, he didn’t even mind the fact that the guild was so rowdy but that didn’t matter to him, all that mattered was that he was starting to make his way into the world

Gray strips not because that’s how he was taught to do when fighting, no he strips because even though he no longer has to wear the itchy uncomfortable suits that his father forced him to wear, and even now when he’s in Fairytail he sometimes gets uncomfortable and just strips wherever whenever, much to his own embarrassment and some others delight

The moment he joined Fairytail he insistently hit it off with everyone, especially with Jellal and Mira, he instantly hit it off really well with Jellal due to the fact about their shared interest in reading and writing, and he became good friends with Mira because, well he doesn’t really knew how they hit it off, maybe it was just because she somehow knew everything about him in a matter of a few days

When he got kidnapped by phantom lord and saved by Juvia, he had never felt more embarrassed in his life, not because he got saved by a girl, no it was an honour to be saved by the great ‘siren’ of fairy tail, no what was embarrassing was the fact that how easily defenseless he felt without his keys, muscles or no muscles he just didn’t know what to do in the moment since he had gotten so use to his keys which was his downfall when he got kidnapped by Natsu and when Erza was beating him up, so after that incident he took it upon himself to get stronger physically and mentally

When he saw how defestated Juvia was about how Aquarius’s key hadn’t been seen in four hundred years, he had made it his life goal to help her find her lost mother figure because that’s what you do with your friends, you make sure that they’re safe and happy and loved, that’s what friends do, right?

Gray became very close with his spirit Loke after he helped him deal with everything with the spirit king, well atleast Gray though that him and Loke had a close bond until during a battle instead of protecting Gray, Loke went over to protect Lucy cause “Fuck you Gray, I gotta save Ms Lucy” and that’s when Gray knew what betrayal felt like

Lucy

Lucy had been living a very pleasant life with her parents until the day that Deliora attacked her village, killing everyone but her, everyone died including her parents and Lucy didn’t know what would have happened if Grammi hadn’t come along with her student Meredy and invited her to come study ice make magic with her

Lucy enjoyed every moment she spent with Grammi and Meredy, she had created a motherly bond with Grammi and a sisterly bond with Meredy, who seemed very interesed in everything to do with ice make magic including the very dangerous aspects of it which Grammi had warned both the girls not to try unless they were in a very dire situation and even then they had to think about all of their options

Lucy remembers the day that she lost everything like the back of her hand, she had gone off to fight Deliora by herself which caused Grammi to have to save her using ice shell which even though it trapped Deliora away, she had also lost her life in the process of that happening. When Meredy had found out what had happened she shouted at Lucy and then left, not seeing her for years

When Lucy had managed to get herself to fairy tail she had grown a bond with Juvia almost instantly and although the two would argue almost every day, they had still shared a special sisterly bond

When she had seen Meredy again the first emotion she felt was relief knowing that she was alive but also anger at the fact that she was trying to free Deliora even though their master had died sealing the creature away, of course Lucy, Gray, Juvia and Gajeel had defeated Meredy and her comrades, It had brought a lot of emotions that she had locked away back to the surface but even though she was embarrassed that Gray had seen her cry, she was also relieved that her emotions were starting to come back out but also scared at this fact at the same time

Lucy and Gray had bonded over the fact that both of them accidentally strip at the most random of times due to the way that they were brought up and they would usually talk about the most embarrassing times that it had happened

After Lucy saved that Natsu guy from his heat wave or whatever he called it, she kept getting the feeling that that wasn’t going to be the last time that she’d see him

Wendy

Wendy loved her family more than anything and the day that she lost them, especially her older sister, she studied long and hard at Mildian Magic Academy researching the connections between life and death hoping that she can discover something that will help her revive her sister

After she was cursed by Ankhseram, she wanted more than anything to die so that she could pay for her sins which in turn caused her to start creating the etherious which then again in turn led her to try and revive Juvia which led her to reviving Juvia and creating E.J.D but she couldn’t revive her into her original age and instead had to make her younger than Wendy

After she and met Aquarius who, even though she wasn’t a dragon like Wendy was initially thinking, she had ultimately decided to let Aquarius raise Juvia until she would be sent to the future, Aquarius then intrusted Wendy with her key asking her to give it to Juvia when the time was right

Wendy and Acnologia has hatched a plan together along with Aquarius and the dragons to send the kinds into the future to fight the stellar mage Anna

When Wendy has bumped into Chelia, she was very worried at first because of her curse and what it could do to her but after spending a lot of time with the young girl she started to feel much happier with her, when she had found out that Chelia also had the curse, she was very happy at the fact that they could now walk alongside eachother but when she had kissed her and her life energy had all gone, that was the day that Wendy knew that she was be officially alone in this world

Throughout the years the rumours of The Dark Wizard Wendy spread throughout all of earth land and of course many of these rumours were just that, rumours made to strike fear in children so that they don’t mess around in something that they don’t understand

She keeps a picture of herself and Juvia in a locket that she wears all of the time, the picture is of a young Juvia holding baby Wendy in her arms while little Wendy is just playing with her hair and if anyone had seen that picture now they wouldn’t instantly say oh that a dark wizard and a demon, they’d see that they were two little kids who have their whole lives ahead of them but instead one of them had their life taken from them too soon while they other no longer had a life, all they did was exist in a world that didn’t want her nor her it

Zeref

I guess in this au he’s younger, I don’t know I can’t really decide

Zeref loved Grandeeny like she was his actual mother and losing her was the hardest thing that he had ever had to do but thankfully Cait Shelter had took him in instantly, and here is where he found an egg that unknowingly to him, contained his best friend and older sister type figure, Carla, Zeref and Carla had a very special bond, She had helped him during some very tuff times and although she was stern, she was also very sweet with him when she wants to be

Helping the other guilds to try and defeat Nirvana was very nerve racking for him as he didn’t know if he would be if much use to the others but he was very important, especially since he was the one who helped revive Levy, who to him was very important since she had been his protecter before Cait shelter so seeing her again made him feel very sad but also happy to know that she was alive

Finding out that Cait shelter wasn’t real and losing his master was probably to that day the safest day of his life along with losing Grandeeny because that was family and to find out that they weren’t real sad heartbreaking for him to say the least but thankfully he had Fairy tail to lean back on and he loved it there with everyone else, especially with Gajeel since he had been very nice to him when he had lost his guild

During the GMG, when he had met Mavis for the first time he instantly strayed to develop feelings for her because she was so nice and strong and amazing and of course he didn’t understand what he was feeling because he’d never liked someone in that way before so he asked Gajeel for advice since he was the closest thing he had to a brother and of course he has no idea about this sort of thing either so the two of them just sat in Gajeels room together waiting for Gray to come back so he could explain to Zeref about what he was feeling which was awkward to sag the least

Zeref had grown a very close bond to Lisanna for some reason, maybe it was because she could talk to him since she’d frequently go down to the orphanage to talk to the orphans that lived there so she understood what a kid his age would like and how they’d be feeling so the two of them would often be seen talking to eachother in the guild hall whoever they have free time or if Zeref is feeling a bit gloomy

So that’s a lot already so there’s definitely going to be a part two were I’ll talk about the next four or six characters but maybe if there’s a specific two characters you want me to talk about I will in the next post of if there’s any other character that I haven’t mentioned op there than you can just send me a message though my inbox! I hope you enjoyed and thank you so so much to @cobblepottantrum for helping me come up with like all of this! You’re a true start ;)

I hope you all liked it and be prepared for more ;);)

(I was writing the Wendy part and then i rembered that @xbrokenxdollsx has like a whole etherious Juvia au that I LOVE so obviously I had to go and reread all of her work because she’s a QUENN)

A Rose By any Other Name... - Fairy Tail one-shot

woops it got posted early

Nalu Fluff Week

Genre - Family, General

Rated K/T

1589

SEPTEMBER 14TH — FUTURE

“A Rose by Any Other Name...”

“’morning, Miss Mira!” Mira looked up from the mug she was polishing to see a fuzzy pink head grinning at her. She smiled sweetly in return, bending over to meet the girl’s eyes.

“Good morning to you too, Tsubaki. Orange juice?”

“Nuh!” She shook her head vigorously and climbed onto the bar stool to make them more level. She was eight and five quarters as she’d happily tell anyone who asked — well, she generally was happy, a trait from both her parents. Her hair stuck out in wild curls and she had a laugh that could soften even Laxus’s heart, loathe as he was to admit it. Makarov was only praying she inherited her mother’s calm spirit as she grew into her magic.

“Don Perry-non, please,” Tsubaki went on to say. Mira looked at her with wide eyes.

“You know that’s not a children’s drink?”

“Duh!” she said with a giggle. “It’s for Mama and Daddy!”

Oh. Well, that made more sense. Mira inclined her head curiously. “Did they ask for it?”

“Nuh, it’s a surprise for their anniversary. Me ‘n Iggy have it all planned out.” She smiled triumphantly and stuck a thumb into her chest. That was such a Natsu-ish thing to do that Mira laughed aloud.

“Alright, alright, here...” Rooting through the bottles on the shelves for a moment, she pulled a shiny olive-colored bottle and set it on the counter. Tsubaki nodded seriously and pulled a crumpled wad of Jewel from the chest pocket of her overalls. “No, it’s okay. Call it a gift from me for their anniversary.”

Tsubaki’s eyes widened more than should’ve been humanly possible, and Mira kept a smile on even as she wanted to explode from the cuteness. Then Tsubaki vaulted over the counter to hug Mira around the waist. “Thank you so much, Miss Mira!”

Mira squealed inwardly as she returned the hug. She didn’t think the Master would have much to worry about.

Gray was just about to lay the final card on the tower when the door to his apartment was unceremoniously slammed open. He hit the table and the whole house came tumbling down. Letting out a great sigh, he turned to the only person left without a care of personal boundaries.

“What can I help you with now, Iggy?”

“Need something from you, Ice Princess.” Iggy’s shaggy blond hair hung untamed around Natsu’s loosely wrapped scarf, and he had his hands buried in his jeans as he sauntered in and flopped onto Gray’s leather couch. He mentioned in passing he liked the smell of leather, so the couch became his prime bum spot whenever he felt the need to burst in, which was often. Not that Gray minded; he still butted heads with Natsu now and again, but his son, while trying his damnest to be Natsu’s carbon copy, was so...alive, in a different sense of the word.

With his magic heightening his senses, he sought every interesting smell, taste, and sight he could find, and he kept a journal that he didn’t mind showing Gray, as red-faced as he got on the subject. He had a way with words that certainly came from his mother which showed as he tried to jot down his experiences with the world, and although he wasn’t even twelve yet, Gray felt assured he could be a writer if he tried. —Not that he ever told Iggy that. Just because his fire was weaker than Natsu’s didn’t make it any more pleasant to be attacked with.

“A sculpture.” He pulled a folded piece of paper from the scarf and handed it over. Unfolding it, Gray saw a drawing most certainly done by Reedus from the level of detail. He raised his eyes back to Iggy’s amber ones with a curious eyebrow raised.

“You’re interested in my sculptures now?”

“Hell no,” he scowled, a blush crossing his cheeks. “It’s for my folks. It’s their anniversary, ya know. Tsubaki’s doing her part so I’m doing mine or whatever.” The red of his face deepened under Gray’s scrutiny and he shrunk into his scarf in a familiar show of petulance. Gray grinned to himself when he wasn’t looking. If only it’d been so easy to get under Natsu’s skin, their childhood would have been so much more enjoyable.

“Do you have a way to carry it?” Iggy looked up at him in confusion. “You know you have Fire Magic. It’ll melt if you hold it too long.”

“I, err...” He skewed his mouth and turned away. Gray sighed dramatically and folded his arms.

“Guess I’ll have to carry it for you.” Iggy was more red than tan at that point and he muttered something that sounded like gratitude if Gray skewed his ears a little. Yeah, he didn’t mind the little Natsu brat so much.

Lucy was just about to take the pot of stew from the stove when familiar arms wrapped around her waist. “Happy anniversary,” he said into her ear, a smile clear in his voice. She turned around to press her lips to his, clutching him around the neck. It was still funny to feel warm skin and the short scar there instead of the rugged fabric of Igneel’s scarf. She giggled when he moved his lip to her neck, then gasped when he lightly bit there.

“Where’re the kids?” he murmured against her skin.

“N-No idea...probably the Guild...” she said between breaths. They learned some time ago not to worry too much about them; Magnolia was very safe nowadays, and in the event something did happen, both had enough magic to cause the damage Fairy Tail was known for.

“Did you just want to get us alone?” He smirked up at her and she smiled breathlessly back at him.

“The stew’s gonna burn, you know.”

He jumped back from her with hands up like he was under arrest. She laughed to herself as she moved the pot to an off burner to let it cool. “Any plans?” she asked, leaning against the counter. He rolled up the sleeves of his red shirt with a devious grin.

“I plan on eating your delicious stew.” she rolled her eyes with a fond smile.

“What happened to all the grand gestures? Our fifth anniversary was you cleaning my apartment for a change. It was almost as shocking as the uprooted sakura tree.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” he said with pink cheeks. Twelve years later and he still wanted to deny it. “And you don’t know what’ll happen tonight. You haven’t seen a grand gesture yet.” It was her turn to blush as he laughed. The sound of the door opening caught them off guard, then Iggy’s voice rang through the house.

“I’ll start serving dinner,” Lucy said, reaching into the cupboards for the bowl. Natsu went to the living room and let out a surprised and excited laugh. Lucy smiled to herself — maybe Iggy learned another move? He loved Tsubaki all the same, but something about Iggy having an affinity for his magic turned him into a teen all over again. Of course, Lucy couldn’t pretend she didn’t feel the same about Tsubaki’s budding summoning talent. She set the table and filled the bowls for the three of them, and she was just about to take out some bread when Tsubaki called for her happily. “Coming!” Lucy replied, pulling her apron off and pushing her hair over her shoulders. She walked into the living room with a smile—

“Happy anniversary!”

She was floored as a good portion of their Guild mates crowded into their living room with various gifts and their own kids shouting congratulations. To top it off, the centerpiece of the crowd was an ice sculpture formed into a Celestial Key, and a dragon’s head was the symbol in the head. She stared on in shock for a few seconds before a little pink head barreled into her waist. “Happy anniversary, Mama!” Tsubaki said.

“Happy anniversary, Mom,” Iggy said from the side, a wide grin on his face. Lucy’s smile turned wobbly and she reached up to scrub at her eye.

“Happy tears?” Natsu asked from Gray’s side, a knowing look on his face. She laughed a little.

“Happy tears.”

Later that night, after Makarov started a drunken round of “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall”, Gajeel and Levy’s twins served Iggy to the ground in a magic fight, Mirajane presented Lucy with a box of “toys” wink-wink, Macao and Wakaba sobbed over their own lost youth, Wendy taught Tsubaki how to braid Lucy’s hair, and Juvia made the toilet go awry on accident, Natsu and Lucy lay in bed together, each kid under each arm as they snoozed away happily.

“It wasn’t your idea, was it?” Lucy asked him. He blew out a breath and chuckled quietly.

“My idea went up in smoke already. But we’ll be revisiting Mira’s present later on.” She reached over to hit his shoulder, mindful of Tsubaki sleeping on his chest. “Even though it wasn’t my idea, I can’t think of anything better.”

“I can.” He looked at her with wide eyes and she grinned. “Having the best husband on Earthland.”

“Or the best wife.” She looked at Igneel’s face, line-free and peaceful in his sleep, and kissed his forehead.

“Or the best kids?”

“Nothin’ better than that.”

“Best Guild?” His mouth skewed into a cute pout.

“Goodnight, Lucy.” She laughed and hit his shoulder again.

“Goodnight, you baby.”
