Day 7 - Parents

A bit late to submitting Day 7.

Gray and Juvia received a special amulet on their last mission and decided to try it out on the train ride back to Magnolia.

Day 6 - Apathy

I wanted. To try out a bit of a different style. This prompt was a bit difficult to do, so I decided to go with a Post GMG Gruvia when Gray kinda put a bit of distance between him and Juvia to protect her.

Day 3 - Luminous

This took me a bit longer than planned, but I got it in a day late at least! For this prompt I was thinking of bioluminescence as one of the feature JUVIA AND gray might come across on one of their missions! Of course Gray can’t help but look at Juvia in awe when she realizes she could potentially use bioluminescence herself. Did you know creatures in the ocean can use bioluminescence as a way to fend of predators, find prey, and also lure their mates 😏! Think of Gruvia with that last part 😁

Gruvia week : perseverance

As gray still at the 100 years quest , gray and juvia still thinks about the future even though their goal yet from achieving.

#this is so sweet! #Gray looking at rings!!

Day 2 - Perseverance

I always thought Juvia had the technical and skill knowledge while Gray had the creative mind. So they both could help each other grow in those aspects to create better magic. I also think that’s why their unison raids are so powerful. Juvia is like the foundation while Gray helps give it a unique twist. I also believe they both bonded over their shared fascination of each others magic!

Gruvia Week

Day 1 - Laughter

The sight of Natsu flying over the guildhall was the first thing Juvia came across as soon as she entered Fairy tail that morning. Following that scene, her eyes focused on a very angry Lucy, tears popping out in the corner of her eyes. Her cheeks were red and her hair all messed up. From those few elements, Juvia concluded two things:

Natsu had just been Lucy-kicked.

This would be like any other day at the guild.

She walked to the bar, jumping over her friend’s body on the way, and said hello to MIra. While she waited for her breakfast, the missing pieces of the puzzle started falling into place.

“Yo, Luce, I was just playing along!”

“You cheated!”

“No, I didn’t!

As the pair bickered, Juvia grabbed her plate and approached the table where her Gray-sama was seated. He noticed her and scooted over, making space so she could sit. 

“Good morning, Gray-sama!”

“Hey, Juvia.” He smiled. Before she could ask him if he had slept well that night and if he would like to take a job later, Natsu ran to them.

“Juvia, Ice prick, help me out!”

“Lucy’s right, you know. Tickling is against the rules.” Gray answered without hesitating.

That comment didn’t settle the debate as the fire mage alleged Gray was biased. He turned to Juvia and demanded her input as well. The problem was, Juvia didn’t know what game they were playing.

As if on cue, Cana appeared behind her.

“We were seeing who could keep a straight face the longest while the others try making them laugh. Lucy was doing good, considering Natsu’s face is kinda funny to stare at, but he broke the rules and tickled her. That Lucy kick was totally earned.”

“Oh.” Juvia understood what was going on now. “Well, Lucy-san is right.”

With everyone against him, the poor fire mage had no choice but to accept his defeat. He sat cross-legged and held the most dramatic pout until the group decided that it was Gray’s turn with the challenge. 

“Ready?” Cana asked with a wicked grin.

“Write my words, I’m gonna make the highest score. You guys aren’t funny enough to beat my poker face.”

3...2...1...

Natsu and Lucy stood close to him, their faces contorted in the most creative and weird ways asGray stared blankly into the wall. He’d be a fool if he didn’t use his best tactic for when he needed to forget there were people around him: dissociating.

“Yo, can he do that? I’m pretty sure that is against the rules.”

“It’s not my fault that you don’t use your brain, Natsu.” 

“You know what? I’m done. I’m gonna fart on your face and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.”

With that, Natsu got up and got into position, turning his butt right to Gray’s nose. Juvia - who had been just observing the mess until that point - got up with determination. She couldn’t let that happen to her darling! With determination and a feral look, she got on her feet and shoved Natsu to the side.

“Juvia will never allow anyone to fart on Gray-sama’s precious face!”

They all looked at her for a moment, in a deafening silence. Juvia kept her defensive pose in front of her beloved, like a knight in shining armor ready to save his damsel in distress. Lucy was still incredulous, Cana had tears in her eyes from holding her laugh and Natsu… well Natsu had been pushed with so much force that he had been knocked down for the second time on that day. However, the first audible reaction was a strangled wheeze from behind Juvia. She turned around to see her beloved with teary eyes almost popping out from the face, cheeks red and mouth in a thin line.

“Gray-sama, are you alright?” She hurried to his feet to check what was wrong with him.

That set him off. 

Gray scrunched over himself, holding his stomach while he laughed loudly. With that, Lucy and Cana followed suit. Juvia looked around, not understanding what was so funny.

“Sometimes I can’t believe you’re real, Juv!” Cana wrapped one arm around her and kissed her cheek. “Fireboy and watergirl totally finished you, Gray! And the funniest part is, your score was the lowest. Lucy, me and you have a tie for first place! That calls for a victors kiss, don’t you think?”

As Cana playfully tried to get a peck from a still cackling Lucy, Juvia started to wonder if she said something wrong. Inadequacy, missing social cues… this was no news for the water mage. Of course, her friends never judged her, they knew there was always a good intention behind it. However, sometimes it felt like everyone was playing a game so complicated no matter how hard she studied the rules, her pawn was always ten spaces behind.

“Perhaps Natsu-san was being sarcastic?” Juvia muttered to herself.

“Definitely not.” She jumped in her place, feeling a warm hand on her back. “And let me tell you, if that bastard farted right on my nose, I’d have freezed his butt and ended the game right there.” 

“Juvia feels sorry for making her beloved lose…” 

“Not worried at all. Sure, I’ll have to live for a while with that shameful last place haunting me, but this?” He pointed at Natsu, who was starting to regain consciousness. “Priceless.”

“Ah…” This still didn’t settle her discomfort and he noticed it.

“Look at me, Juvia.” Gray took her hand, waiting until she glanced at him to keep talking. “Don’t worry about it, okay? We weren’t laughing at your expense, especially not me. I like your unusual way of speaking. Actually, that’s one of the most lovable things about you.”

Juvia felt so overwhelmed from the touch of his hand and the reassurance his words brought that it took her a long moment to absorb his last sentence.

One of the most lovable things about you.

Most lovable. You.

Did he really mean that? There were many things he found lovable about her? Also, using the words love and you in the same sentence... She suddenly felt like fainting and that was when Gray noticed the implications of what he said.

Oh. 

They weren’t dating. Heck, they didn’t even kiss! Well, he was pretty sure she noticed the change in his demeanor towards her and her display of affection, but he didn’t exactly do anything significant of changing their status from friends to… whatever came after that.

“Uh, I mean…” Gray felt heat in his cheeks as he tried to think of something to say. 

A freshly recovered Natsu came to rescue.

“Juvia! Your turn!” He called and made her sit, completely oblivious to the situation he interrupted. Juvia was still a bit airy and her magic almost made Natsu’s hand go right through her at one specific moment, but this distraction seemed to be good for their recovery.

“You have one minute to prepare.” Lucy warned, already setting her counter. 

Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and tried to numb her thoughts. She was a competitive girl, actually, and she had an idea of what she could do to help her.

3…2…1…

“Start!”

With a total of five minutes and twenty four seconds, Juvia achieved first place. Everyone was surprised, after all, Juvia felt everything with such intensity they thought it would be easy to get a giggle out of her. However, they weren’t counting that she had a more powerful tool: her mind.

No, she didn’t need to dissociate or think of sad things. The only thing she needed to do was, for five minutes and twenty four seconds, think and act like she was a stone-faced person who thought everything was sad and dull. Her subject of  study? Not Gajeel, not Laxus.

Her old self.

-x-

Later that day, Juvia cornered Gray to reclaim her prize. According to her, it was fair that the last place would be the one to give it to her. He didn’t give much thought into it, asking what she wanted from him.

A wide grin creeped through her face as she proclaimed:

“Tell Juvia everything Gray-sama finds lovable about her.”

I just know when Gray finishes the 100YQ he will wanna be all up under Juvia and I can’t wait.

Gruvia Week Day 1 - Laughter

Juvia is the one of if not the funniest person Gray knows! Whenever he wants to relax or take his mind off his worries (and darkness), Juvia's antics, jokes, teasing, and savage remarks never fails to make him smile! With a person like Juvia who is constantly finding new ways to surprise Gray, there is never a boring day for him.

Here are the official Gruvia Week 2024 prompts! Sorry for the delay. Due to this, please don’t be discouraged if your pieces are late. Truthfully, I wasn’t going to do Gruvia Week this year if not for some wonderful and dedicated fans that encouraged me to keep the tradition going and helped to organize it. It has been over a decade, it would be sad to see it go! 11 years, 12 editions later, here we are.

Just like in previous years these prompts are not complicated, but they are broad and meant to make you think. Be creative. Interpret them however you see fit. If you don’t know what a word means, look it up. Specific and basic prompts would result in different versions/entries of the same thing. That’s why Gruvia Week is so successful every year; imagination. Prompts for this event are always different every year. No repeats! See: Previous Gruvia Week editions

Those who are new to the week, unfamiliar, or would like to simply rehash, please click here to learn how to participate. Also be sure to follow the rules and guidelines. Feel free to ask questions, however please check this blog’s previous posts before submitting them. It’s possible your question could have already been answered.

Reminder: All pieces must be new. Old works will not be reblogged/included in the week. Be sure to specify the day/prompt used in your post. If you don’t have a tumblr, you can still participate. Post your work on any social media platform for that target audience. Participate anywhere; the more the merrier! However, if you’d like your work to be posted/featured here as well, be sure to submit it to this blog. Or submit the link to it (if posted on another platform such as twitter, instagram, wattpad, ao3, etc).

Reminders:

Tag your work with #gruvia week (with the space) within the first five tags.

Avoid using links in your post, as there is a chance it will not show up in the tags. Try using only five tags and no links if your post does not appear. If you must use a link, make sure it shows in the tags.

If your work contains an image or gif, make sure it’s within tumblr’s photo dimensions and size limits. Sometimes big images cause posts to not appear in tags.

It is YOUR responsibility to make sure your post shows up in the mobile and/or pc tags, so be sure to check if it does.

Gruvia Week will be held from April 1st - April 7th as always. Get ready and get creative!

What the water gave me - vi

Juvia suddenly leaves Fairy Tail. Gray knows it is for sure not his fault. But why does he feel so guilty?

Sorry for the two months wait! :>

Gray x Juvia

An arc between Tenroujima and the GMG in which Juvia runs from the guild and Gray gets her back (maybe)

Very angsty, a lot of self doubt, self hate, canon typical violence, gray is in focus

Rated M

“Is that why you took Juvia?” Lucy spoke up. “Did she come with you because she thought it would benefit all of us?” “I am in no position to say what her reasons were, we have not really discussed it among each other. “ He grinned. “We just want to support Mr. Zeus in his goals, and can guarantee it will benefit all of you guys too.” He had not denied that Juvia had come with them, Gray didn’t miss that fact of the matter. She was absolutely here, they had seen her come in, and she was not held as prisoner. “That plan must be very convincing,” Lucy said with a hint of sarcasm. “If you have deluded yourself into thinking you will save the world by abandoning your friends.” Yuuta’s eyes darkened a little. “You can think of me what you want, I don’t care. But what will you think about your little water-mage friend? Do you think so lowly of her too?”  Natsu waved with his hand: “Juvia would not just abandon us. She was forced to come here. If she had a choice she would have never gone.” “Is that so?” The other man laughed. “Juvia-san probably just thought there was no other option,” Wendy jumped to Natsu’s side.  Gray, for his own part, couldn’t be so sure about that. He obviously could not account for every member of the guild, but when it came to him he had to admit that he hadn’t been paying as much attention to Juvia as he should have, especially not lately. Hell, he hadn’t even noticed that she had refused to eat for the longest time. And then there was the issue that nobody had noticed she had left in the first place. If Juvia had wanted to leave, because she had felt underappreciated by her guild mates, then really, there were enough reasons for this possibly happening. Gray  wondered if the others, deep down at least, knew it too. They had failed Juvia in many ways and well, that was why he was here to make it right. “So you all came here to “free” her?” Yuuta asked sarcastically. “ I can tell all of you little guys, that you are trying to free a prisoner that's neither a prisoner nor wants to be freed in the first place.” “Nonsense, Juvia would come back with us,” Erza declared confidently. “We have Gray with us after all.” Gray’s stomach turned and he wished Erza hadn’t said that. Who knew if his presence was an advantage or not at this point?
