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!
Art by @goodnightlover. And big thank you to all that helped organize this year: @gruviasama @kimwannabewatermage @stopbeingrude. ♡

EPIC MEETING BETWEEN GRUVIANS!
Me and @rieriebee met in Rome after years of being in the gruvia fandom together; we shared tears, joy, anger, fanwars! But we never doubted Gray’s feelings and we are so ready for Gruvia to be married: we know it will happen.
These days were unforgettable.
Our meeting also seems to have awakened the dark side of gruvia haters… sadly, we had already said goodbye! It would have been such a good show!
GRUVIA IS CANON, pass it on. Love you, Marie!

I fucking love Versailles no Bara
I make my comeback on tumblr just to say how fucking much I love this anime. It actually belongs to my childhood but only recently I’ve made a serious rewatch/first watch and I was left shocked because it’s so.freaking.deep. I’m just gonna talk and maybe meta (kinda?) randomly. [I didn’t read the manga besides some final chapters] I fell in love with Oscar x André: childhood friends to lovers, a love story that was born in tragedy and could only end in tragedy. It blows up my mind that these two have been together but not really together for a whole lifetime. They rely on each other, they trust each other, the bond they share is way too deep to just fall apart even if their hearts and lives just run differently: she’s a noble and he’s not, she was raised as a boy, he has always loved her and she fell in love with Fersen, blindness and tuberculosis as the cherry on top. It took French to start the Revolution for them to be finally together, lmao, and it makes sense! Oscar and André are the embodiment of the French Revolution to me. He goes up against her father, his master, she says fuck off to nobility and her rank in order to follow her ideals... they overcome all of it, always together, just as it all started. About the Fersen thing, I’d like to add that I do strongly believe Oscar fell in love with Fersen’s way of loving Marie Antoinette, she didn’t really love ‘count Fersen’... like, yes but also not. Fersen saw a human in Marie Antoniette, not a queen, not a royal: he loved her for who she is... Marie Antoinette, the girl he loves. I got the feeling this is exactly what Oscar liked about Fersen. Not a man, not a woman, not a mademoiselle and not a commander: maybe she was just looking for this for herself, not knowing that her most trusted person in the world, her bestfriend, was exactly doing that. It’s the beauty of it all, even if tragic. Actually tragedy hit me so hard that I still need time to process, lol. This anime seriously has a lot of dramatic scenes, not talking about Oscar and Andre’s deaths only obviously...  Marie Antoinette is a good character too, althought I got a lil bit bored when she was the focus; history is history, but she’s written in a way you cannot help but emphatise with her at some point, at the very start especially. I love the way the parallelism between MA and Oscar was developed through the whole story. Such a good watch overall. I’d like to rewatch it in japanese sometimes but I’m way too attached to the italian voices of my childhood... anyway I’m so glad I finally found a new anime and characters to love after so much time. Cannot wait to start coloring some manga panels from VnB!

Click the image for better quality. Atsuo Ueda interview released today (11/9/22). He confirms that Gray and Juvia are mutually in love. Full interview here.
As always, this is Hiro Mashima’s story. He writes the storyboard/plot/character lines, etc. Ueda draws based on that, and sometimes gives suggestions. Ueda says even he is surprised by Mashima’s storyboards at times!

HIRO MASHIMA’S GRUVIA DAY 2022 LIVE STREAM [SEPTEMBER 10TH]
Tumblr media
A few days on twitter space, Mashima-sensei said he would be doing a live drawing stream for Gruvia Day this year, which is of course, September 10th (9/10) as always. Today, he officially announced it at the end of his youtube live stream (with the image above that reads “September 10th Gruvia Day Livestream”) AND on his twitter. Mashima-sensei is inviting all fans to send him your Gruvia art via DM on twitter, because he will show many of them on the livestream! Of course, do not send anything too explicit/NSFW. IMO, send your art before 9/10, at least by 9/8-9/9 so he has it before the stream (note the time difference between you and Japan as well). Old or new, send your best art! 🥰❄️ This goes without saying… only send YOUR art. Do not steal someone else’s hard work. Remember that it’s also Gruvia Family Day, so along with your Gruvia art, feel free to send Gray and Juvia with their son (Greige) art too if you’d like. Always nice for Mashima to see how much fans adore Gray and Juvia’s baby boy. 💙 From Mashima-sensei via twitter: 9月10日【グレジュビの日配信】やります! それに合わせて皆さんからイラストを募集します。 頂いたイラストは当日配信で発表します。 (全部は発表できない場合もあります) イラストは僕のDMまでおねがいします! “On September 10th I’m doing a Gruvia Day live stream! I’m asking for your illustrations for the live stream. The illustrations I receive will be presented on the day of the live stream. (I may not be able to present all of them) Please send me your illustrations via DM!” Let’s give it our all, and show Mashima-sensei how loved Gruvia really is! 🎉

gruvia week 2022 - radiance
There were many windows opened in the room he was in, airy enough to be comfortable for one man inside. A lot of space to do different things and yet,  Gray Fullbuster still felt suffocated.
And he was blaming it on the constricting white tuxedo he’d been wearing for forty-five minutes.
Granted, the spacious room was ideal for pacing back and forth. He’s sweating like rain, despite the cool air from outside. He made use of his ice magic to make the room cooler, but the beads of sweat of his forehead didn’t stop forming.
In less than an hour, he’s marrying Juvia. And he’s elated about it.
But he’s also scared and nervous and restless because he wanted a perfect wedding for the both of them. A perfect wedding for Juvia. He knew Juvia put it a lot of hard work for the occasion to be perfect in every way. He recalled her stressing about the beading of the wedding dress she sewed herself. Gray would also never forget her late night research about wedding flower arrangements. She supervised it all despite doing  back-to-back jobs.
What an amazing woman she was.
So the least he could do was not ruin this moment by not stripping during the ceremony. Or not starting a brawl with Natsu or anyone else during the reception.
Gray’s gonna make Juvia marry him again for another shot of a perfect wedding if something messed up this day.
A knock on his door disturbed his thoughts. “Hey Ice Prick, it’s time.” Gajeel said, opening the door enough for Gray to see one of his twins. The child waved his hand and Gray smiled at her.
He couldn’t wait to start a family of his own, too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Geez, calm down! I can hear your heavy breathing!” Lyon exclaimed, standing beside him in a garden of flowers where the wedding would take place. The sky was clear and it wasn’t too hot, perfect for a celebration like this, and yet Gray still felt the jitters.
Both Gray and Juvia wanted Lyon to be part of this wedding, since he was a close friend of theirs. For a while, Gray hesitated to invite him, with their history of both liking Juvia and all. But at the end of the day, he still considered him family, and it’d make Juvia happy for him to be here for them as well.
He loosened his necktie just a little bit, since he was afraid he’d still strip down to his boxers. That can be for later. But right now, staying dressed was his top priority. And be in the right state of mind of Juvia marrying him.
Or was she? He frowned. His thoughts played a game on him.
“I can’t help it!” Gray said, rubbing the side of his neck with one hand. “What if she realized she deserved better and didn’t want to marry me anymore?” The temperature outside began getting cold. “What if she ran away with you?”
Lyon stared at him like Gray had grown two heads.
“Well, that would be good for me.”
“I knew it! Argh, I can’t believe I invit–”
“But would it be good for you both?”
“Huh?”
Lyon punched him on his arm for good measure. “The hell are you even talkin’ about? Even if she had the chance to run away, she would choose to stay!”
“Even when you ran away, she chose to stay. Everyday you’re on a job, she’s worrying for you and patiently waits for you to come back. Even when you mess up sometimes, she still chooses you.”
Lyon slapped his back one last time before he walked away, preparing for the ceremony to start. “You say she deserved better, but in her eyes, you’re the best match for her. It’s up to you to be an even better man for her, right?”
Gray went quiet and straightened his posture. Breathe in. Breathe out. Lyon was right. He needed to be an even better man for her if he felt like he was undeserving of her love.
“Yeah,” Gray uttered, sliding his hands in his pockets.
He went for where he should right now, beside the makeshift altar but not before he heard Lyon say something to him.
“I’m happy for the both of you.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Still, the voice inside his head didn’t leave him alone, even with the reassurance from his friend. The music already filled the ears of everyone in the area and all he could hear was the loud beating of his heart. Of nervousness and worry that he would mess this up or Juvia running away.
His hand began sweating and he tiptoed in his place over and over again.
Until finally, someone announced that the bride was here. That the bride was ready to walk down the aisle, ready to walk to him and have a beautiful life together.
In that moment, time slowed as he saw his bride on the opposite end of the garden.
Gray could die right now, and all he would think of was the sight before him.
Juvia looked ethereal in her white dress and her loosely-curled hair added to her beauty. Her bright eyes focused on him, and when she directed her blinding smile at him, Gray knew he was a goner.
She’s glowing, lighting up the place with her presence alone.
Gray could feel the tears pooling on the corner of his eyes but he didn’t care. He didn’t know what Juvia saw in him but he’s so, so thankful that he got to be the man she fell for.
When she reached him down the aisle, Gray couldn’t help himself anymore. He extended his hand for her take and when they touched, he pulled her close and placed his lips on hers.
Juvia giggled but still returned his kiss, happy that this day was here– a new chapter in their lives.
“The ceremony hasn’t even started yet, why couldn’t you guys resist for a moment?” They heard someone say. Everyone chuckled and cheered for the couple.
Juvia pulled away first and beamed from ear to ear at him. She led him to the altar and settled.
The jitters already faded in the back of Gray’s mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After saying I do’s and exchanging vows, Gray and Juvia, together with their friends, enjoyed the rest of the day. Their friends enjoyed partying under the pinkish sky. Nighttime was almost peeking at them, and yet, the loud cheers and laughter continued on.
The sky turned from pink to dark blue. The lights around the venue glowed orange and created a cozy atmosphere for all the guests. It was getting dark, and yet, Gray never had to worry about anything being pitch black in the area. He smiled and looked at his wife.
Juvia noticed him staring at her and turned her head to meet his gaze. She gave him a loving look, and rested her head against his chest.
“Juvia loves you, Gray-sama. She can’t wait to spend the rest of her life with you!”
Gray placed his hands on her waist, pulling her close. He kissed her forehead and rested his head on hers.
“Love you too.” He whispered, intertwining their fingers. “Let’s build a wonderful life together.”
Gray would never be afraid of the dark anymore as long as Juvia was by his side. She would forever and always remain as his guiding light towards the present and future.

City Lights
For Gruvia Week 2022: Day 1 - Breathless
"A long-awaited date with a view of the night sky! Their hearts throb as they look down on the city." (inspired by Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapter 102 cover)
Tumblr media
You may also read it on FanFiction.net and AO3! Check out my master list for other Gruvia fics.
Tag List: @shampooneko @fbflame94 @juviaafullbuster @unvalley @gruviaftw11​ (I think I forgot some people here so please remind me if you want to be on my tag list!)
Juvia never thought she'd be this nervous.
Wiping her suddenly clammy hands on her skirt ("Why are they so sweaty?" she thought, a bit annoyed), she clicked on the elevator button leading to the rooftop, where she agreed to meet Gray at half-past seven. She could still remember how his ears reddened when he asked her last night, as casually as he could, if she'd like to "hang out at the rooftop and watch the city lights."
"Really? Just the two of us?" she had asked.
Gray scratched the back of his neck, a blush blossoming on his cheeks as he fixed his gaze straight ahead. "Uh, yeah. I mean, if you don't want to —"
"A rooftop date! Gray-sama is so romantic!" she gushed, her arms wrapping around his as they continued walking towards Fairy Hills.
At any given time, Gray would've denied it was a date, but this time, he didn't say anything. Juvia smiled, realizing that it was, in fact, a date — their very first official date, not counting the many times they went out to have a meal, or he walked her home to Fairy Hills, or just plainly spent time in the company of the other.
A date. And a long-awaited one at that.
Finally.
The elevator dinged, a gust of wind shaking her out of her thoughts. Her eyes immediately found Gray looking out over the sprawling city, his back turned towards her. And as if sensing her presence, he turned to her just as another gust of wind blew, sending the skirt of her dress billowing in the wind. She felt the hairs on her bare shoulders tingle against the cold.
Wearing a sleeveless dress that ends just a little above her knees? Probably not the best idea.
Jogging towards her, Gray met her halfway, eyeing her bare shoulders. "Aren't you cold?" he asked.
She ran her hands up and down her arms. "Juvia's fine, though she didn't expect the wind to be this strong up here."
Gray unfurled the coat slung over his arm and draped it over her shoulders, their bodies ending within a foot of each other. Juvia blushed at the proximity while Gray avoided looking at her, stepping back after doing what he was supposed to. She noticed the coat was similar to the one he was wearing.
"Let's go," he said to Juvia, making the girl blink.
"Go where?"
And that was when she noticed the helicopter waiting right behind Gray. Her eyes widened. "You mean...?"
Gray already had his back on her as he walked towards the chopper. He stopped for a while to look back and ask, "You coming or what?"
As if recovering from her initial shock, Juvia trotted over to Gray, catching up to him. "How did Gray-sama get this helicopter?" Her voice had a tiny bit of apprehension, but she couldn't help the sense of wonder laced in it.
Instead of answering, Gray simply hoisted himself up the helicopter. After a while, he reached out to Juvia.
"C'mon, get in."
Juvia grabbed his outstretched arm and squeaked as Gray's strong arms pulled her up. She found herself sitting in the passenger seat beside Gray, who sat on the pilot seat. Her eyes went wide as she observed him tinkering with the buttons and controls in front of them, concentration etched on his face. She heard a faint voice coming from the headphones he was wearing.
Gray replied, "Cleared for takeoff, north helipad."
Juvia gulped. Is Gray-sama really going to fly a helicopter? Does he even know how?
Despite her apprehensions, she couldn't deny how attracted to Gray she felt at that moment. She didn't think it was possible but seeing him so focused on flying a helicopter —something she never thought would happen ever — made her admiration grow tenfold and her fangirl heart flutter like crazy. And she knew it wasn't just because of nervousness.
Gray-sama is so cool, she thought as a smile made its way to her lips.
Clearing her throat that suddenly felt so dry, she asked, "Is Gray-sama sure he knows how to fly a helicopter?"
It seemed she didn't even need a reply when the engine roared to life, followed by the rapid turn of the blades. Instinctively, Juvia clutched her armrest.
Gray placed his left hand on top of hers, his thumb caressing her knuckles to soothe her.
"Relax. I got this."
Mavis, this man would be the death of her.
She felt the helicopter take off the ground, and Juvia watched as they flew higher and higher into the clear and cloudless night sky. Beside her, Gray's hand had left hers, pressing some controls here and there, now and then talking jargon to whoever was at the other end of the line.
Juvia couldn't take her eyes off the handsome man beside her. Is there anything Gray-sama couldn't do?
Gray probably felt how intently Juvia was watching him, making him spare a glance in her direction.
"You should look out there, you know," he said, pointing to the night sky just outside the windshield.
"Hmm?"
Reluctantly, Juvia peeled her eyes off Gray and diverted them to where he was pointing. She let out a gasp.
Hundreds of feet above the ground, Juvia had an unobstructed view of the bright city lights of Magnolia. Though she couldn't make out each tiny house and building, the lights looked like thousands of stars shining from below. It left her breathless — though she got to admit, it wasn't just because of the view.
"You like it?" Gray asked, breaking her thoughts.
"Gray-sama, this is beautiful," Juvia said, finally tearing her eyes away from the sprawling city to look at Gray. "When you asked Juvia if she wanted to watch the city lights, she never expected you'd take her on a helicopter ride over Magnolia!"
Gray chuckled, his trademark smirk on his lips. "Well, what did you expect?"
Juvia frowned, wondering if Gray was serious. "A rooftop dinner overlooking the city?" she asked matter-of-factly.
Gray pondered for a bit. "Hmm, that makes sense."
Juvia rolled her eyes. "Seriously, you never thought of that? Instead, you thought of this whole thing," she exclaimed, motioning to her surroundings. Then, in a teasing voice, she added, "Juvia never pegged you as the romantic kind, Gray-sama."
"I'm not. I just thought you'd enjoy it," Gray answered abruptly, though his blush betrayed him. He could deny it all he wanted, but this was still the most romantic thing anyone had ever done for Juvia.
"And Juvia does... so much," she reassured him. Feeling bold as she looked at his blushing face, Juvia took his hand in hers and smiled sweetly. "Thank you, Gray-sama."
Something changed in Gray's face as he looked at her. Though he was still red in the ears, Juvia could see something else in his eyes — a look of determination, perhaps? It was as if he wanted to say something, and he was preparing himself to do so.
She waited.
After a few moments, he finally spoke.
"Seeing you smile at me like that, that's all I want."
Now it was her turn to blush. Juvia didn't expect Gray to be so forward, with him being a man of few words. She knew he cared for her, even felt many times that she was special to him, but he never really said it out loud, and that was okay. Just making her feel she was different from everyone else — that was enough for her.
But maybe it wasn't enough for Gray anymore. As they looked into each other's eyes, the beautiful lights reflected in them, Juvia got the feeling that she had just unlocked a new side of Gray. Probably not new, but a side of him that had been repressed and buried deep for a long time. A side of him that he was ready to share with her, finally.
Juvia lowered her eyes, the intensity of his stare making her blush some more.
"Juvia doesn't need fancy helicopter rides like this to be happy, Gray-sama. Just being with you is enough for Juvia," she confessed.
"I know," she heard him reply. "I... I feel the same way."
Then, she felt a trembling hand caress her cheek as if unsure of what he was doing. She could feel his pulse racing against her cheek.
With her heart pounding as well, she placed her hand on top of his, steadying it. Slowly, she raised her eyes, meeting the gaze that spoke volumes more than what was said.
They had always understood each other even without words, anyway.
She let her eyes slide to his lips, silently welcoming what was coming. In response, he started closing the gap between them, her senses filled with his musky scent and minty breath.
Everything in her surroundings faded — it was just the two of them, their lips inching closer together.
And in an instant, surprisingly warm lips were over hers, and she could feel her face burning at the contact.
The kiss was short but sweet, leaving her in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she could see Gray's face beautifully illuminated by the city lights, his hand still cradling her face.
"Juvia?"
"Yes, Gray-sama?"
"I hope our first date matched up to your fantasies."
Juvia couldn't help but giggle at the mention of "date," but she fought the urge to laugh when she saw how serious Gray's face was. He's actually nervous that Juvia might not like our date? Silly Gray-sama!
"Juvia's fantasies couldn't even compare to the real thing," she told him. "Only Gray-sama would think that watching the city lights meant going on a helicopter ride!"
"It's all worth it," Gray grinned, scratching his nape. He turned back his focus on the controls as he maneuvered the helicopter for landing. "But we're not yet done."
Juvia raised her eyebrows. "Really?" One romantic gesture already seemed unlikely for Gray, so what else had her wonderful boyfriend planned for her?
"You really think a date would be complete without food?" he asked, glancing at her. "I've made reservations, of course."
As if on cue, Juvia's stomach grumbled, making Gray snicker. Though slightly embarrassed, Juvia smiled and answered, "Juvia's tummy thinks that's a great idea. Where are we eating?"
Gray nodded towards their landing spot. Juvia followed his gaze and gasped at the romantic dinner set up by the rooftop where they were landing.
"See, I also thought of that," Gray said, brimming with pride.
"And you said you're not the romantic kind, eh?"
This caused Gray to blush in embarrassment. He may be a bit more straightforward with his feelings now, but it didn't mean he'd stop being shy about them.
"W-well, I guess if i-it's for you..." he blubbered, letting his statement hang in the air.
Juvia didn't need to hear the rest of his sentence to know what he meant. Most of the time, the unspoken words would ring louder than the things said between them.
And right now, as their helicopter made its descent, she knew for sure their hearts had finally landed where they were supposed to be.
***
A/N: The mere fact that I'm posting this Day 1 story on Day 5 of Gruvia Week means I won't be able to complete all the prompts this week, lol. Sorry, I've been really busy, but I know I had to write something for Gruvia Week. I'm not sure when I'll add more stories to this series, but I think it's safe to say I'll write at least two more (coz I already started them, which means I gotta finish them).
Fair warning: It'll probably take months to get done. Blame it on the lack of Gruvia in 100YQ — I'm thirsty for inspiration!
Anyway, thanks so much to everyone who's still reading my stories. You inspire me to get things done. <3
