My "Fairy Tail" headcanons because why not? There are only two so far, but I'll make another post if I come up with any more:
-Aries is asexual. After all that Karen did when her Gate Key belonged to her—using her as a distraction for her boyfriends and abusing the shit out of her—I feel like it only makes sense for her to be wary of both genders.
-The reason Weisslogia and Skiadrum manipulated Sting and Rogue's memories was so that they had the sense of closure that Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy didn't get to have. It was a gesture of their love for them. After all, Igneel, Metallicana, and Grandeeney up and disappeared, abandoning them as far as their own adoptive children knew. Natsu's life up until the truth was revealed was spent looking for Igneel. Wendy was shattered, thinking she'd been abandoned. Gajeel acted like he didn't give a damn, but he definitely did.
@nalunalu, also known as @dragonballwish, already knew I had these, but I was too shy to share them until now.
Thank you for reading. Hope these make sense to people. (Please tell me if there were any typos or anything. This was typed out on mobile.)

I think Wendy would be a cat and Gajeel would be a porcupine( I know he looks like a hedgehog but trust me, that is intentional)

💖 + Wendy and 😋 + Laxus!!
Character Emoji Ask Game
💖- Happy headcanon — Wendy Marvell
Despite becoming an S-class mage, Wendy retires from taking missions after Porlyusia dies to become a full time healer. Despite the sad circumstances, she loves her job and moved into Porlyusia’s home that she doubles as a clinic. Don’t worry, Porlyusia gave Wendy permission to do so.
😋- Funny/stupid headcanon — Laxus Dreyar
Laxus would know all the words to every Taylor Swift song. He acts like he hates her music because it’s “soft”, but he’s a liar. He loves her songs and is constantly listening to her music while in the guild hall.

HeAd CaNnOn TiMe!! What if other dragon slayers can also have dragonization like Natsu did in the movie but after using it after several times, they get Dragon Scaring where they retain some aspects of their Dragonization. Wendy was one I always think about and I wanted her to look more like Grandeeney but Feral. I hope dragonized forms of Wendy and Gajeel will be in 100 year quest.

Make Wendy Feral damn it!!

re: fairy tail
It definitely did not help that Porlyusica (humanoid) is the alt universe/Edolas version of Grandeeney (dragon). like, what was i supposed to think?
Okay I did not get far enough in to know that but YEAH???? THE FUCK???
So yeah fuck the rest of Canon and the Time Travel shit. As far as I'm concerned the Dragon Slayers are just Dragon babies.

Chapter 259: Sky Dragon Grandeeney
Well, I promised myself to re-watch the Key of the Starry Sky arc. I will just work with this in parallel hehe.
Tumblr media
The cover shouts for NaLu!
We're at the Grand Magic Games arc! There are a lot of events here and most of our solid NaLu moments are here.
Tumblr media
Natsu battled with Max, and Max was able to hit Natsu. For him to win, he used the lightning fire dragon slaying technique, and then
Tumblr media
He passes out.
Tumblr media
As they were looking for a way to get stronger, they approached Porlyusica to ask for some spells to get stronger immediately. Look at these two looking for a shortcut. What a couple.
Tumblr media
And as they were driven away by Porlyusica. Wendy cries since she smelled like Grandeeney.

——————————————————
Chapter 20
When Leo disappeared in a flash of light Natsu was left in the clearing with a fading sense of panic, a growing headache, and two unconscious women.
"Do all your spirits get a kick out of leaving cryptic riddles of future threats?" He mumbled the question to Lucy, readjusting his hold as he looked down at her.
The tingling sensation of her magic was still present, but it was faint and he didn't know whether that should worry him or not.
Her breathing had evened out, her skin was no longer a sickly gray colour, and the kernel of his fire was steadily growing from within and with each passing moment, it helped to replenish her magic.
Natsu amped up his body temperature just in case as he tightened his hold on Lucy.
'That was too close.'
Was the only thing going through his head as he watched Lucy take slow, steady breaths.
Being witness to her fading light was a petrifying sight, and not one Natsu was going to forget any time soon.
He was reeling from what just happened, it just doesn't seem real.
Since stepping foot in Sakuramori Village things have gone off the rails.
Being sent on a fake job, discovering a broken Spirit Key in a museum, and finding a woman possessed by one of Zeref's demons was bad enough.
On top of that, Natsu had to watch Lucy put her life on the line for a dying spirit that for some reason, couldn't stand him, and a giant Spirit King warn them of a danger that was coming.
A Spirit King, that seemed to know Natsu and his father.
How were the Dragons connected to the Spirits? Do they know anything about where Igneel is?
It bothered Natsu that Leo refused to answer his questions.
It was obvious enough that Igneel and Grandeeney knew Lucy's mom, but the King of the Spirits, how was he connected?
It also didn't escape Natsu that this was the third creation of the dark mage they'd encountered in the past six months.
Zeref, or his creations seemed to be after Lucy, and her magic, the only question is why?
Natsu let out a deep sigh as he shook his head, there were too many questions, and he wasn't going to get any answers in the middle of a forest.
What was he supposed to do now?
He needed to get out of this clearing.
The sun was steadily rising in the sky and Natsu knew that he couldn't carry both women through the forest, not to mention it would take several hours of walking before they made it back to the Village.
Natsu didn't have that kind of time, he needed to get Lucy to a healer, fast.
Letting out a frustrated sigh this time Natsu looked down at his partner and wished that she was awake.
Lucy was better at coming up with plans than he was.
The sound of a phone ringing made him jump slightly in place, not expecting the sudden blare in the quiet snowy meadow.
This whole situation has made him jumpy, not to mention disoriented from lack of sleep.
It took him a moment to realize it was Lucy's phone that was ringing, and he maneuvered his hands careful not to drop her as he took the object out of her jacket pocket.
"You didn't call last night, so I thought to check in early, how did everything go? Did you manage to get the broken key piece?" Mira's bubbly voice spoke through the other end as soon as Natsu answered the call.
He could feel his headache growing at the realization that with Lucy unconscious, he would be the one explaining what happened to the guild.
'This isn't gonna end well.'
Natsu was never good with words, he much preferred to take action.
And he had a feeling that upon their arrival in Fairy Tail, Erza would fillet him like one of Happy's fishes for the state that Lucy was in.
"Things- They, they didn't go according to plan." He stumbled over his words, not really knowing how to explain what happened.
"What do you mean by that? And where is Lucy, why are you answering her phone?" The she-devil asked him with an edge to her voice that made Natsu shiver as he remembered that with all her sweet smiles, and kind words, Mira was not one to be played with.
They don't have time for this, he needs to get out of this damn forest.
"Mira, please, it's been a long day, for both of us." Natsu said in an almost pleading tone as he pulled Lucy closer to his chest and readjusted the phone on his ear.
Calling the last 24 hours long was an understatement, but it was the best he could do at the moment without stirring up more questions.
He needed to get Lucy back to the guild and fast so that Wendy or Porlyusica could check on her.
Everything else was irrelevant.
"I need you to open a portal for me, Lucy is unconscious and I have another woman who is possessed. We're out in the middle of a forest, and I don't have a way to get them both back to the Village, and even if I did how would I explain it?"
He pleaded with her, hoping that she would hear the desperation in his voice and save the questions for when they reached Fairy Tail.
Natsu heard a gasp from the take-over mage and then there were jumbling sounds coming from her end of the line.
He could make out Mira barking orders at someone about a portal, saying that Lucy was injured, which caused even more of a commotion and then she was back on the line.
"Tell me your exact location."
Natsu let out a sigh as he looked around the clearing and tried to remember the route they took from the Village.
It was hard concentrating on anything with the fading panic-infused adrenaline and the exhaustion taking over, but he pushed himself to think.
He could be tired later when Lucy was safe.
"We're in the middle of the goddamn woods!" He said through grit teeth, and you could hear the frustration in his voice.
The lack of sleep was not helping his already bad mood.
"After we took the key from the museum it led us into the forest East of Sakuramori. We traveled going due South-West for hours before coming to this clearing.
There's a waterfall, that's all I can give ya."
Natsu didn't know how long their trek from the village was, and there were no other landmarks he could point out besides the fall, he just hoped it would be enough.
"Okay, okay, we can work with that." Mira said as she once again relayed information back to whoever was at the guild with her.
"We're working on a portal. Now tell me what happened, is Lucy okay?" There was worry in the older girl's voice as she asked about Lucy, and Natsu didn't know how to answer.
He wasn't sure if she was okay.
He wasn't sure if she was going to be okay. Her magic might be slowly replenishing with the help of his, but Leo's words were echoing ominously in his head.
'This is what happened with Layla when she cast the spell.'
"She- she's fine, for now. I think." Natsu managed to answer, feeling his breath getting heavier with each word as Lucy's pale, and fading form flashed through his head.
"I don't know, Mira. Things, they got out of hand, and it all happened so fast, I'm not even sure what happened, and then she was dying." He was cut off by a choke, and he hadn't even realized he was crying.
The tears evaporated as they escaped his eyes, his body temperature was higher than usual for the sake of the blonde in his arms and Natsu could feel his body start to tremble as the reality of their situation hit him with full force.
He had tried to keep it together, for Lucy's sake and his own. But having to explain it to Mira just made him realize how petrified he was.
Natsu was no stranger to fear.
It would be arrogant not to be afraid of anything, this wasn't even the first time he feared for Lucy's life.
But it was different this time.
When she jumped off the Phantom Lord Tower screaming his name, there was a part of Natsu that knew he would make it, a part of him that knew he would catch her.
This time, there was only pain and dread.
She almost died.
Lucy came so close to dying, so close to fading away like one of the stars she loved so much, and he still didn't know if she was going to be okay.
"Hey, hey, Natsu. Listen to me." Mira's voice brought him back to reality and he tried to control his breathing, focusing on Lucy and her slow, even breaths.
"You said she's fine, right?" Mira continued talking, her voice was soft as she spoke and it helped Natsu focus on syncing his breathing with Lucy's.
"She's alive, she's okay." Natsu said in a quiet mummer as his breathing slowly calmed down.
It sounded like he was reassuring himself, more than answering Mira's question, but at least he felt a bit calmer.
"She used up so much of her magic, and it felt like she was fading. I- I didn't know what to do." He continued talking for his sake as he started walking towards the unconscious woman tied at the other end of the clearing, not knowing what else to do.
Natsu was a person of action, constantly moving and looking for new adventures.
Being in a situation like this, with Lucy unconscious and Happy back in Magnolia, it felt like he was all alone.
He was suddenly 7 years old again, calling out for his father in the woods.
"It's okay, just keep taking deep breaths, yeah?" Mira said as he stopped next to the brunette. "You're both okay, and the portal's coming, I'm gonna stay on the line with you until we can conjure it.
Talk to me, I won't ask what happened, tell me about what you did yesterday before going back to the museum." Mira's voice flowed through the speaker and Natsu was grateful to her.
He tried to think back to their day, tried shaking the image of Lucy's fading form in his arms, and pushed himself to talk to Mira.
"We stopped for lunch." He said after a few moments.
"After we left the museum in the morning, we stopped somewhere to eat, and then I suggested we look around for a magic shop." He told her, thinking back to how happy Lucy was when he said he remembered that she wanted to visit all of them.
"You know how Luce wants to check them all out for keys, so I thought we could see if there was one in Sakuramori." As he relayed their day to Mira, Natsu started feeling more grounded.
He wasn't alone, and help was coming, he just needed to wait and talk.
The portal was on its way, and soon Lucy would be safe, and in a place where someone could tell him if she was going to be okay or not.
"Oh, that's very sweet of you, did you end up finding a shop? The village is small." Mira asked, effectively pulling him back into the conversation.
"We did, there weren't any keys in it though. She did end up finding some cool shit, she always does." Natsu's words were softer towards the end of the sentence, and he felt his heart clench as he looked down at Lucy's sleeping face.
How could he let this happen?
"That's our Lucy." Mira's voice said through the phone, it sounded glum as she spoke before a muffled voice spoke and she quickly cleared her throat and changed the subject.
"There should be a door appearing somewhere around you in the next 15 seconds." Those words made Natsu's heart jump to his throat and he surveyed the clearing in search of the magic door.
It took seven seconds for it to appear, and thankfully it materialized a few steps from him.
Hanging up the phone without a word, Natsu moved with a determined stride and swung the door open.
"Natsu!" Mira's voice called as he stepped through the threshold, and several other guild members jumped to their feet as he entered through the portal.
"There's a possessed, unconscious woman out here! And we need Porlyusica!" Natsu shouted as he walked into the guild hall.
Loud voices echoed around the room as they noticed the blonde in his arms and he could feel someone brushing past him through the door and into the clearing.
Not paying attention to any of them, Natsu proceeded to walk towards the center of the guild.
Everyone was talking over each other as they rushed to crowd them.
He could see Levy's anxious eyes scanning Lucy for injuries with Jet and Droy by her side as Erza, Gray, Cana, and even Juvia and Evergreen asked him inane questions, looking at Lucy with worry.
But no one was doing anything of use.
He spotted Happy and Mira hanging back from the crowd, staring at him with concern.
"We need Porlyusica! Or Wendy, where is Wendy!" Natsu growled at the crowd, ignoring the bombarding questions and hoping that one of them would listen to him.
"Here, I'm here." Wendy's soft voice called out from the left and she made her way to him. "We need to lay her down. The infirmary is the best place, come on."
She said as she pointed to the second floor.
With her words, everyone parted to let them through and Natsu was glad for it, he would've trampled them otherwise.
He felt a bit calmer with Wendy leading him up the stairs, his hold on Lucy tightened as he ascended to the second floor.
'Almost there.'
For a second he was filled with an overwhelming urge to press a kiss on her forehead.
But he decided against it, the moment was too tense for such a gentle gesture.
"One of Zeref's demons is possessing the woman, Fran-something." Natsu called out from over his shoulder as he walked into the infirmary room.
They were a smart bunch, he was sure they could figure out which demon it was by half the name.
The smell of antiseptic hit him before he stepped foot in the room making him wrinkle his nose in distaste.
He never liked the smell.
All the beds in the infirmary were unoccupied, and Natsu moved to place Lucy by the window.
As he laid her down gently on the mattress, he found that his feet were firmly planted on the ground.
He could only take a single step back.
Natsu was sure that not even Erza's force could move him, not until he knew she was going to be okay.
He could feel Wendy watching him as she moved to the other side of the bed, and he could tell the young girl was worried.
"Natsu." Her soft voice called out to him, and he looked up from the unconscious blonde to her, and sure enough, her eyes were filled with worry as she looked at him.
"I need you to tell me what happened to her, so I know what to look for."
Natsu went still for a moment, he wasn't sure he wanted to relive the past day, but there wasn't much of a choice.
At least Wendy won't try to kill him.
Moving his eyes back to Lucy for a moment, Natsu tried to settle his thoughts and mull over where he should start.
'I can do this.' He thought as he took a deep breath and looked back at the bluenette.
"There was an unexpected incident. We were ambushed by the woman I brought back with us, but taking her down was easy. The real problem came with him." The last word came out more venomous than he had intended, and Wendy raised her eyebrows at his tone.
Maybe there was animosity on both sides.
"Loke, or Leo. Whatever he wants to call himself. He's the one who sent the job to the guild, and when Lucy found out what happened to him." Natsu shook his head as he thought back to that moment.
He'd never seen Lucy so mad before.
Was his partner prone to fits of anger?
Yes
Sometimes, it was driven by her sense of injustice or not getting the bargain she wanted.
But usually, it was because of something Happy and he did, but that's all in good fun, and she's always laughing by the end of it.
This was different.
This was fury, pure and unfiltered.
He knew it when she started channeling her magic, she had done it unconsciously at first. Her anger got the best of her and the lid boiled over.
Natsu was familiar with the feeling, it took him years to master how not to lose control when angry. And when needed, how to channel it properly.
When she started purposefully channeling her magic into remaking the key, Natsu wasn't worried.
He believed in her, and her abilities.
Even when all of her spirits showed up beside her, with Leo on his knees pleading for her to stop, and when the power she radiated felt unlike anything he'd experienced before, he had faith.
Because it was Lucy.
She knew what she was doing.
"She channeled her magic into repairing the broken spirit key. It was, like nothing I've ever seen Wendy." He told the younger girl, his voice trembling slightly.
"Her magic, it felt old, like older than ours. The potential power that she is capable of...It's incredible and terrifying."
He remembered the way her magic called out to him when she was repairing the key, coiling and almost teasing, leaving behind sparks of energy.
It was a beautifully terrifying sight.
Lucy looked like an avenging angel in that moment, the magic she was channeling making her glow even brighter as she worked to repair the key and Natsu felt like someone plugged him into a socket.
It was different than what he can feel now, there was only a faint tingling sensation if he concentrated hard enough.
"When the key was fixed she seemed fine, was walking around and being her usual weird self, and then she fainted.
It was out of nowhere and she was fading so fast." Natsu was rushing through the story, choosing to leave out the big things that happened in between.
That can wait for later.
"She looks stable now, what did you do?" Wendy's voice was skeptical and bordered on worried as she asked.
Natsu looked down at Lucy, moving his hand to stroke the hair off her face. "She was so pale." His voice was barely above a whisper, knowing the sky drakon would hear him.
"So pale, and cold. Even her hair lost its usual glow. Leo, he, he told me she used up too much of her magic, that this was how her mother's sickness started. I panicked Wendy!" He was trying to keep his voice from rising, trying to keep himself in check as his emotions boiled inside of him.
Natsu was usually good at keeping the onslaught of sensations and emotions at bay through years of practice.
Being on the brink of exhaustion seemed to have weakened his ability to do so.
He couldn't tune out the noise from downstairs, and was able to hear the rest of the guild pondering over what could've happened, and if Lucy was going to be okay.
He could hear Wendy's heart racing, and it made him feel as if a drum was beating inside his head.
The lights in the room were too bright for his eyes, the smell of antiseptic was making him nauseous and he was having difficulty regulating his emotions.
"I panicked and I don't know what I did. I gave her my magic, so she could replenish her own, like a bridge. I think." Natsu said as he looked down at Lucy's sleeping form.
He could still feel the faint tingling of her magic in his body, and if he concentrated, he could feel the kernel of his fire beside her steadily growing magic.
Wendy's eyes widened at his words, and she immediately moved her hands so she could examine Lucy.
The minutes it took Wendy to scan Lucy's body felt like days to Natsu as he watched the young healer's hands scan the blonde with bated breath.
"Her magic energy is extremely low." The sky drakon tone was neutral as she spoke and Natsu moved to look at her.
"It's replenishing slowly, but there is something else. I can feel your magic too, they've somehow bridged together." Wendy looked up at him and Natsu could tell it wasn't going to be good.
"How did you do this?" She asked him, sounding confused and intrigued at the same time.
Natsu shrugged his shoulders as he turned to look at Lucy again. "I don't know, I told you, she was fading, and all I could think was, if I channel enough of my magic it might spark hers back to life."
It was how he imagined it, at least.
That's what he wanted, to make a temporary bridge and help her.
"That's, that's...Natsu, I have never heard of anything like this." Wendy told him honestly.
"So you don't know if she's going to be okay?" Natsu asked, feeling the panic start to build again at the thought of having to wait for the cranky old witch to come before he got answers.
'She would probably kick me out of the room.' He thought sourly.
Wendy hesitated as she looked back at the unconscious blonde. "I feel like Porlyusica would be better suited for making that call. I can only speculate at this point."
Natsu's frustration was growing with every passing second, along with his headache as he looked at her. "Specu-what?"
"Guess, I would have to guess." She explained with a small smile.
"Guess then, tell me what you think." Natsu urged the healer, he was close to begging her to give him something.
Wendy thought about it for a few seconds before letting out a sigh. "In all regards, Lucy looks fine. Her magic is severely depleted, but it's slowly filling up and she doesn't show any signs of lasting damage."
Those words were like music to his ears, though he felt a but coming.
"What worries me is, this 'bridge' between you. I have no way of telling if, or when it will fade. Or what the consequences of it could be." Wendy told him as she moved around the bed to rub his shoulder.
"That's why we need to call Porlyusica." She said in one of her sweet tones, and it made Natsu smile back at her.
It was small but genuine.
He could tell that she was worried about him as much as she was about Lucy, and he wanted to reassure her in some way.
But words failed him, he was too tired to think anymore. "Thank you, Wendy." He settled on that, hoping she could see his appreciation.
Waving him off with a smile, Wendy turned to leave. "They're gonna want answers when I get down there, what should I tell them?" She asked as she moved to the door.
"Tell them I'm not answering shit till the cranky witch gets here." Was his reply as he went to sit in one of the chairs by the beds, and he could hear Wendy snort in response as she left.
"Happy can come though, if he wants." Natsu added as the door clicked shut, and he was sure the sky drakon heard him.
Letting out a tired sigh, Natsu moved his hands and gently brushed them through Lucy's hair as he watched her sleep.
Hopefully, no one will come barging in before Porlyusica arrives, he doesn't know if he has the strength to talk to anyone right now.
He feels like he might break down again if he did.
All Natsu wanted was to know Lucy was going to be okay, then he could sleep.
Repeating the words in his head like a mantra he tried concentrating on the way Lucy's chest rose and fell.
He was fighting a losing battle in trying to keep his eyes open, and he decided to lay his head on Lucy's bed, just for a second.
And he was out like a light.
* ********* ********** ********** ********* *
The sound of voices stirred him awake, and it took Natsu a few moments to adjust to the onslaughts of sensations surrounding him.
The room reeked of antiseptics that hurt his nose, with an undertone of herbs and lavender.
There were several people in the room, he counted three heartbeats, other than his own and Lucy's.
Natsu could hear them speaking but wasn't able to make out the words. There was still a hazy cloud over his mind and he felt tired even though he hadn't woken up yet.
As he slowly stirred back to reality, he felt a tingling sensation going through his body like a current, it seemed to be flowing next to his fire.
He was confused for half a second before everything hit him like a truck and he shot up from the chair, startling the three women in the room.
"Natsu!" Mira gasped as they turned to look at him.
"Good, one of you is awake. Now you can explain to me what exactly you were thinking when you decided to, how did you put it, child?" The cranky witch started yelling at him the moment their eyes met, before turning her gaze to Wendy.
"Bridge." The bluenette answered in a small voice as she looked at her shoes.
"Ah yes, a bridge between your magic." Porlyusica's tone was sharp as she turned her expectant glare back to Natsu.
"Is she going to be okay?" Was his only response as he stared back at the pink-haired woman.
"That is yet to be determined." There was a twitch to the old bat's brow as she moved to stand next to him.
"I can only find out so much with both of you unconscious. Now tell me, how did you manage to do this?" Her words were as sharp as her gaze as she stared him down.
Natsu looked back at the woman, feeling tired in a different way, as he realized he would have to explain what happened.
Again.
And he would have to do it at least one more time by the end of the day. Sighing at the thought he took a deep breath and tried to clear his head.
"It's like I told Wendy, she was fading. And the only thing I could think of was that if I can manage to gather enough magic and direct it towards her, it would spark hers back to life." Natsu shrugged casually, but his tone was firm.
He stood by his decision, no matter the consequences.
"Wendy mentioned you said that before, that she was fading." It didn't sound like a question, and Natsu wasn't sure what he was supposed to say.
"Luce, she- her aura is bright and golden. Even without it, there is a glow surrounding her. It makes her hair shine like spun gold when the light hits it." He decided to answer anyway as he looked back to where Lucy was lying, moving to comb his hand through her hair.
Feeling the need to have some kind of contact between them, as reassurance.
She was stable, and slowly gaining back her glow.
The look shared between Wendy and Mira as the fire drakon waxed poetics about Lucy's hair went completely over his head as he focused on her steadily growing magic.
There was a moment of silence, where everyone watched Natsu with various degrees of sympathy, and the women decided not to comment on his words.
"And how did you make this 'bridge'? What made you think that it was even a possibility?" The healer asked him, but Natsu didn't know what else there was to say.
"I don't know. She was dying in my arms.
I was panicking, there wasn't any time to think!" He tried to keep his emotions in check as he talked, reminding himself that Lucy was peacefully sleeping in front of him.
"I was panicking, and she was dying, and I connected our foreheads and just willed my magic to work the way I wanted it. There was a clear picture of a bridge in my mind, and then a zap..."
He didn't know if any of it made sense.
It didn't to him, all Natsu knew was that it worked.
Porlyusica's eyes narrowed as she watched him, looking at him as if she could see into his mind.
As if she knew he wasn't sharing everything.
So sue him if he didn't want anyone to know about the secret bond he had with Lucy.
They haven't talked about it yet.
It was left unsaid, but they both knew it was there.
Natsu wasn't sure if his partner was aware that his fire didn't burn her, but he was sure that she felt the same connection he did.
He didn't know what it was, didn't even question it until this moment.
It just felt, natural.
It was Lucy.
And this was something he couldn't just blurt out to people without talking to her about it.
He had a feeling she would be pissed.
"What happened after?" The older woman urged him with a tapping foot, clearly getting impatient.
"I could feel her magic, it was a prickling, almost tingling sensation all over. And after a few minutes, her breathing was back to normal and the colour was slowly coming back to her face." Natsu breathed the words out as he remembered the relief he felt when he saw her breathing stabilize.
"I could feel my magic sparking hers, helping her own grow." There wasn't anything else he could give the witch.
Not without talking to Lucy first.
Porlyusica studied him for a moment with narrow eyes, before suddenly putting one of her hands on his chest and the other on Lucy's
No one said a word as the witch started chanting something under her breath, and Natsu could feel the magic coming from her hand.
It wasn't an uncontrollable feeling, but the magic wasn't as soothing as Wendy's was when she healed.
The chanting continued, getting more intense by the second and the energy in the room shifted as the pink-haired witch concentrated on them.
Natsu could feel the bridge between him and Lucy slowly start to bubble, and suddenly Porlyusica stopped chanting.
"Animae Vinculum." The old woman breathed out with a gasp as she pulled her hands away from them, and Natsu could smell the seared flesh on her palms.
Wendy gasped from behind them when the spell broke, and the young healer moved from Mira's side to look over the older woman's wounds.
"What happened?" Wendy asked as she moved to heal the burns.
Porlyusica was silent for a moment, looking between Natsu and Lucy with interest and apprehension. "It was my fault." She stated as Wendy let go of her healed hands. "Thank you, child."
"I tried severing the connection you made, and both of your magic attacked me." There was an amused tone in her voice as she spoke, and Natsu was thoroughly confused by the old hag's behavior.
"Is she going to be okay?" Natsu asked again, hoping the chanting would have given her some answers.
"Miss Heartfilia will be just fine, though the only reason she is not dying from magic depletion is because of what you did, all you need to do is wait for her to wake up." The pressure that weighed down on him since Lucy passed out in that clearing seemed to evaporate at the healers' words.
Letting out a sigh, Natsu took a step back and let himself fall into the chair.
'She's going to be okay.'
"However," Porlyusica continued, and his head shot up to look at her. "From what I could sense, the two of you have been linked, so to say, and there is no telling what will come from that." She told him with a sharp glare.
"When she wakes up, Wendy," Porlyusica turned to look at the young healer. "I need you to examine both of them. Or call me, and we can do it together."
She turned to look back at Natsu. "There is no telling how this could go, I have never seen anything like this before." There was almost a hint of worry in the older woman's voice, and as he nodded Natsu thought for a second that she might actually care about them.
And in a blink of an eye, the moment was gone and the scowl was back on her face.
With a frustrated grunt from the witch, she turned to collect her things around the room. "I swear you children will be the death of me, I don't know how Makarov puts up with you, the old fool."
She was muttering to herself as she left, and Natsu couldn't help but feel lighter.
Even with the unknown outcome of the link between him and Lucy, Natsu felt content.
He wanted to laugh as the witch kept mumbling on her way out about the master and how he was worse than all of them.
Turning his eyes back to Lucy he smiled and moved to clasp their hands, feeling like he could breathe easily again.
All they had to do was wait.
Wait for Lucy to wake up and then they'll have to talk about all the things that happened in the clearing, and how she was never again allowed to almost die in his arms.
And their bond and this link that was now between them.
But no matter what happens, Natsu was sure that they'd figure it out.
Together.
He was lost in thought when someone suddenly cleared their throat from behind him, looking over his shoulder he froze.
Standing in the room by the door, glaring at him was Erza, with Gray by her side.
Natsu could feel his headache coming back with a vengeance as he realized they were here for answers.
Not again.
He couldn't tell the story again.
It was too much, too soon, even with knowing Lucy was going to be fine.
The exhaustion was still there, and his emotions were too high-wired.
Natsu knew that having to tell the whole story was inevitable, and he knew Erza will not settle for any of his bullshit.
But he was tired of reliving the past day, and all he wanted was to curl back up in the chair next to Lucy and sleep.
"Guys, why don't we let Natsu rest. It's been a lot for him too. I'll tell you what I know, and he can tell us the rest tomorrow." Mira, bless her heart, spoke out before anyone could and Natsu felt like he could kiss her in that moment.
The take-over mage must have seen the dread and exhaustion on his face as he realized what was coming.
"He needs to tell us what happened, Mira!" Erza argued back, with Gray on her side.
"Yeah, he can't just barge in with Lucy unconscious in his arms and a woman possessed by a goddamned demon without any explanation!" The ice prick decided to pipe in, but Natsu found himself too tired to sneer back at him.
There was a tense moment of silence, but before anyone else could say anything, a flash of blue flew through the door, and suddenly Happy was crying in his arms.
"Natsu! I was so worried when Mira said that you were in trouble! How is Lucy?" The exceed asked through tears and Natsu's heart clenched as he watched his little buddy cry.
"The cranky witch said Luce is just fine, she needs to sleep it off, sorry for worrying you buddy, but it's all okay now." He soothed the blue feline as he rubbed behind his ears.
Happy calmed down at his words, moving to brush the tears from his eyes. "I was scared when Mira said Lucy was hurt, and you looked freaked out and scary when you came back!" The words came out fast and jumbled as he tried to catch his breath.
"And what exactly happened for her to end up in such a state? How are you left without a scratch?" Erza's voice cut back in before Natsu could further console the exceed, and he suddenly felt like someone poured cold water down his back.
His hold on Happy tightened at the redheads' words as the exceed looked around the room in confusion.
"Erza! That's enough." Mira said with a sharp tone as she shot the reequip mage a look.
"I will not argue with you Mira, this is quite an alarming situation and we have no idea what happened!" Erza turned to look at the take-over mage, arms crossed as she stood her ground.
Natsu knew that the situation would only escalate from here, with Mira and Erza on opposite ends.
"Natsu, don't make me use force." The redhead turned her glare back at him after a few seconds and Natsu just wanted it to end.
If telling her everything will get her to back off, he'll do it.
"He will tell us, but he also needs rest!" Natsu was startled by Wendy's sudden shout, and they all turned to face the blushing healer.
"They've both been through a lot, and like Mira said, we can fill you in on what we know. But Lucy isn't the only one that needs sleep. And a shower." The bluenette said her voice sounding firm as she spoke, before turning to look at him with a small smile.
Natsu nodded his head in thanks and smiled back at her.
There was a sigh from Erza at Wendy's words and she moved to pinch her brow, massaging the area for a moment before turning to look at him.
"Fine, rest. We'll talk in the morning."
Gray looked like he wanted to protest, but Erza and Mira dragged him out of the room before he could get a word out.
"You can move her into one of the spare rooms since she needs to sleep it off, the beds in here aren't very comfortable." Wendy said as she made her way out of the room.
"And you get some sleep too!" She told him, her tone once again firm as she walked out of the door.
"I will!" He managed to say back as she left the room.
Letting out a sigh, Natsu closed his eyes for a moment.
"Natsu?" Happy's voice called out and he opened one eye to look down at him. "Are you going to be okay?" The exceed asked, making Natsu open both eyes to look at him.
"'Course I'm going to be okay." He tried to play it off, not wanting to further worry his little buddy, or think about his current emotions.
There was a sigh from the cat as he pulled out of his arms and flew into the air, his white wings materializing with a shimmer of light.
"Wendy was right, you do need a shower." Happy said as he wrinkled his nose.
Natsu was glad he wasn't pushing the subject, and he moved to flick one of his ears. "That's rich coming from you, you smell like fish!" He shot back, making the exceed scoff.
"Fish smells amazing, who doesn't like fish? You smell dirty and disgusting." He stuck out his tongue at Natsu and started laughing as he flew out of the room.
'Always has to get the last word.' Natsu thought with a smile as he watched the blue fur ball disappear.
Shaking his head, he turned to pick Lucy up and take her into one of the spare rooms.
Wendy was right, the infirmary beds weren't comfortable.

Do you remember? There were only two.
FT Masterlist |
Tumblr media
He doesn't know what happened, just knows that at the start of it, he'd been resting in bed. Resting right below the window, with the sun shining bright on his face. It was nice and comfortable, and Natsu couldn't bring himself to wake up. Instead, he curled up deeper into the covers. The heat felt nice on the bits of scales that covered his skin, and he had decided that Igneel or Zeref could wake him up instead.
He woke up to fire, instead. It wasn't his, or Igneel's, or anyone else's on the island. This fire was raging against something, filled with spite and hatred, and it made Natsu itch with a feeling that he needed to run. But he couldn't bring himself to, even when he heard the cries and the pleas outside his little hut on the outskirts of the village, he stayed put. Curled up on an ashen bed with the windows broken down and blood splattered across the floors.
There was a shadow above him and Natsu shut his eyes harder, curled up even smaller, and pretended he was just playing hide and seek with everyone else. He doesn't remember what happened after that, only waking up on an empty island with a heavy weight on his shoulders that he didn't understand, not yet. A figure was sitting by the edge of the forests, overlooking the sea, and she was pretty. Blonde hair and brown eyes overflowing with warmth with a sweet smile on her lips, Natsu felt as if he were looking at the paintings his Mama'd show him. He took one step forward, and-
S̸̡̔ḥ̴̕e̷͕͝ ̵͕͝ẘ̶̢ä̸̰s̸̱͆ ̵̺̿n̴̲͑e̵͍̔v̶͙̕e̴͒ͅr̸̩̓ ̶̝͒t̶̺̕h̵̢̎e̶̱̅r̷̩͊ḙ̴͛.
The air made him want to puke, even though there was nothing in his stomach. It had that acrid taste of something he didn't want to think about and decided that maybe it was a good thing Wendy left a few years hours ago. The surviving trees were covered with soot, but they were the only sources of food left except for the corpses littering the ground so he got to cleaning them. He made sure to clean the bits around their roots, too, and munched on a huge mango. It tasted bitter, no matter what he tried.
He swallowed it all down anyways and leaned against the corpse-thin shoulders of his brother, who was tapping at his knee. "Man, I miss how Grandeeney and the folks used ta make our food," Natsu said, his usual greedy gulps of food now a more slow and hesitant pace.
"If you'd paid attention to their lessons you would know exactly how to cook," Zeref gave Natsu a tap on his forehead and sighed, "Recovering all the farms will be a pain, though... And all our livestock's dead."
"Haaaa? Can' we just bring some from outside? That's what Gajeel's dad did!"
"Metallicana is over a hundred times bigger and stronger than both of us combined." Here, Zeref paused and thought for a moment, "Neither of us has the net he used to kidnap them, too."
"A net? I thought they all just stayed inside his mouth for a while!"
"And eat them...? No, I'm pretty sure Skiadrum would have tormented him for years if he did."
"Wouldn' stop 'im, though."
"...it really wouldn't," Zeref couldn't help but imagine that, with Metallicana gleefully swooping down on a poor farmer's land to capture a few pigs and cows into his mouth before flying away and congratulating himself for the success before landing back home and finding that he'd swallowed everything down his gullet.
...yes, Skiadrum would have beaten Metallicana halfway to death for that.
He told Natsu exactly that, and his brother cackled.
Neither tried to think of the blood pooling by their feet.
Tumblr media
After that, the days passed simply enough. A few chicks had somehow made their way to the island, and for a few years, life was simple enough. They would feed the chicks with a few seeds they'd managed to salvage from the somehow living fauna, eat mostly fruits from the trees, and train together. They'd leave, someday, Natsu knew. To search for everyone else, to see other people for once, to avenge the fallen.
For now, they'd both settled for practicing their magic each day until they'd be a few spells away from dropping dead. For now, they tried to not think too hard of the bodies they'd buried, and the number of graves lower than there'd been living people. For now, they tried not to think too much about how everything felt horribly wrong, like they'd been displaced.
Tumblr media
Lucy looked over the sleeping bodies of children and thought of how tired of it all she was, and Loke gave her a hug.
Tumblr media
A/N: I have... ideas for how I'd like to fit the other dragon slayers into the story. It's gonna be overtly complicated, as Lucy's ideas usually are, and be filled with misery! Fun fact, in the next one shot I'm planning on writing down how Lucy got her curse, and it's not fun! It'll also showcase my multishipper tendencies lmao.

February Whump Prompts – 2023, DAY 11: Fever
Content Warnings: Light Swearing, Drowning Fandom: Fairy Tail - Natsu x Lucy - Pixie x Dragon/Demon AU
Royal Trouble - Parts 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Drowning in Hopelessness - Part 2
To say that the palace was in an uproar would have been child’s play. It was chaos in every hallway with the legendary Dragon Guard and Constellation Knights placed in every intersection. The place had been barred shut from all outsiders and none were allowed to leave. Spells had been placed to ensure that if anyone attempted either that they would be incapacitated and an alert would be issued.
The Dragon King and Queen had deemed the level of security on the matter to be set securely at the highest level until all enemies had been ferreted out. The Crown Princess of the Pixie Realm had nearly been murdered under their watch and no one had noticed her disappearance for hours. The implications of the event could still lead to all-out war if the King of the Pixies deemed it so.
Under normal circumstances, the Dragon King Igneel would have overseen the events as he made his heir, the Crown Prince Etherious Natsu Dragneel, but he was a father first in this regard. There would be no coaxing of his son to leave the Pixie’s side no matter the situation.
“Do you think he will be sane if she perishes?” Grandeeney, his wife and Queen, stepped next to him as they waited for the council members to arrive in the meeting hall. Even being woken from her slumber, she held an air of majesty that only the Pixie Queen, Layla Heartfelia, had managed to achieve.
“That is a question I know neither the answer or the solution to if his sanity slips,” he said. The weariness in his voice echoed both of their concerns for their adopted son. “It would be best to send a missive to King Zeref for his presence. Only he would know how best to keep Natsu’s demon side from wreaking havoc if he loses her.”
In a different wing of the palace, the head of the Constellation Knights and his second stood outside the entrance to the Crown Prince’s bedroom. Inside, Commander Gajeel Redfox stood guard as Wendy, the Dragon Guard’s healer and Dragon Princess, worked to bring the fever down in the delirious Pixie.
On the other side of the bed, Natsu held her bandaged hand to his forehead. His leg jutted up and down as he felt the heat roll from her normally cool skin. His wings and horns had yet to yield back into place in his body, and he doubted they would any time soon. Not when he realized how close he had come to losing her.
Since that Elf had arrived—Sir Dan Straight, Knight of the Zentopia Region of the Elven Realm, the voice of the arrogant male droned on in his head—He had, had no rest from either seeing him chase after Lucy in attempts to woo her, or from his constant nagging of their ‘inferior’ knight training.
Nights had worn on with the knight refusing to leave either of them alone, and his mouth had begun to run of grand delusions of how Lucy would be his perfect bride and produce the best children. Jealousy had consumed him, on top of his exhaustion, and the anger he felt at not being able to do anything to the obnoxious Elf.
His thumb carefully caressed the bandage on her hand. Another punch of guilt slammed against his chest. Salt had covered her natural scent he loved, and she had flinched from his hand. In his exhaustion, jealousy, and anger—rage, he had burned her. Had hurt her in ways he had never thought he could.
There were no excuses. No reason she should ever forgive him for acting out against her. None of it had been her fault, and she had been a victim of the knight, too.
He should have run after her. Begged on his knees before her to be forgiven.
No one, not even his father, was above begging if they had fucked up bad enough to require such acts. And he had. The eyes that had widened in fear at him. The way she cried out and her whole body recoiled from his reach.
A sob choked him. Never had he seen such a look from her. At least, not directed at him!
He moved her hand to his cheek and stared at her pale face. Sweat covered every inch of her, suggesting another sponge bath would be needed again. Her chest rose sporadically with puffs of air she gasped for.
Dark eyelashes contrasted against the pale skin that was not flushed from fever, and under the lids were wild movements. Already from her body and the words whimpered through airy breaths, he knew nightmares plagued her. Dragged her deeper into the depths of her mind. Took her further from him.
“Please, Luce…” he said, placing soft kisses on her wrist. “I need you. Come back to me!”
Silenced pants greeted him in answer.
At her feet, the large Demon War-Beast, Happy, mewled in worry. They had both raised him after she had come into his life, and they loved the oversized beast as they would their own. Knowing that, he had not been surprised when it had been Happy who had warned him that something was amiss before anyone else.
When he had realized how late it had become, he left the rest of the work he had left for another day to find his best friend. The way she looked, the scent of her tears, her cry in his ears…it had all been on repeat. It drove him to attack with a rage against the knights he practiced with, tore at him during his lessons, and sat heavy on his mind as he tried to deal with the paperwork Igneel left for him to work on.
When others had made her cry or picked on her, nothing stopped him from beating them up. Not the threat of punishment or scolding. Keeping her safe and happy had been his goal since the dragon side of him declared her precious.
How could he beat himself up to defend her? The only idea he had was to allow her to do it in his steed. When she had done self-defense training with him, she had learned well how to kick her opponents, and he could use one of her infamous Lucy Kicks to make him feel a bit better about the situation.
The first servant he found, he requested her location, determined to make up with her.
“I’m sorry, my Prince,” the servant bowed in apology, “but I have not seen the Crown Princess since breakfast this morning. She never arrived for lunch, dinner, or called for tea.”
Natsu frowned, an uncomfortable feeling growing in his gut. “Did she call for any food to be delivered?”
The servant answered with a shake of his head. “I fear not, my Prince. From what I heard from her head maid, the door to her main suite has been locked since late this morning.”
That had been the time he had seen her, he realized.
He thanked the servant and left to head for her rooms. If none had seen her since that morning, it was a safe bet that she had locked herself away there. Knowing how stubborn she was, there was a chance she would refuse to open the door for him.
It was a good thing that he was known to be just as stubborn, if not worse.
Yet, what greeted him at her door intensified that sick feeling. Happy paced outside her door, yowling loudly and standing on his back paws to claw at the wooden fixture. By the state of the door, he was near close to clawing his way through it completely.
Even if she were mad at him, she would never take it out on Happy. She even sided with the beast when she knew he was in the wrong, but knew it would drive him up the wall.
Every fiber of his demon and dragon instincts ignited. The door splintered against his force as both of them rushed in to look for her. The smell there hit him first. Roses nearly overwhelmed his scenes to the point he nearly threw up. There was no way any Pixie, even Lucy, would be conscious with so much of the flower scent in the room. With so much in the air, he could barely pick out Lucy’s scent, but it had been there. Faintly.
The balcony doors were wide open. Instinct pushed him and he felt the shift in his body as he took off in the air. With such an overpowering scent trail, he did not find it difficult to follow. Whoever took her would realize painfully not to touch what was precious to a dragon.
The scent took him miles out, over the tops of forests and through the plains until it stopped above a lake. No, it did not stop, it went toward the lake. Flying to the surface, he looked around, confused. Had they washed off the smell before continuing? That would mean he lost the trail!
He glanced around, his mind panicking at the thought of losing her. That he had help secure her capture by acting out this morning. No, if she were gone from his life…he would find her! There was nothing else to it.
Flapping his wings, he rose up to try to catch any other scent. Instead of a new scent, he heard what sounded like bubbles. Frowning, he looked at the surface of the water and saw the large bubbles that rose up from beneath the surface.
Normally, he would have been confused about the situation. Might have thought it was a large fish that was making the disturbance in the water. Seeing them, his body tensed as he folded his wing in and drove down into the dark abyss below.
With the help of his scaled wings and limbs, he reached came upon the sandy bottom quickly and felt his chest explode. Lucy looked ethereal with her golden hair flowing around her. She still wore the red dress from earlier that had done nothing good for his lightheadedness early by pooling his blood below. And she was still. Completely unmoving besides what the water did with her limbs.
He reached her in only a couple pumps of his wings. His arms wrapped tight around her as one hand clenched her head to his chest and used the sandy bottom to kick off towards the surface. They broke the through into the air with enough force he was able to catch air under his wings again and take them to the shoreline. Time was against him. The tightness in his chest felt ready to snap. What if he were too late?
Laying her on the ground, he forced her head back and breathed into her mouth. Her chest rose from his air, but nothing else happened. No pulse pumped against the icy skin of her neck. “Lucy! Come on!”
Entwining his hands together, he began pumping her chest, keeping rhythm to how he remembered her pulse would be. His was beating too wildly for him to ever dare to follow. “Come on, Lucy. Come on, you have to breathe! You can’t leave me!”
Again, he breathed into her mouth, his hands desperate to cradle her against his chest and cry out his anguish. But he went back to pumping against her chest, to watching her body jerk from his force.
Then she jerked herself, sputtering and choking up water. He pushed her to the side and patted her back. “Just cough, get it out. You’re okay…you are okay.” The need to hear those words for himself kept himself sane as he listened to her retch up the water that had tried to take her from him.
But he knew she was not okay. Her body shook violently, from the chill in the air, the water in her lungs, the lingering affect of the rose perfume. Unable to give her anytime to gather her senses, he scooped her up and took off again.
The week’s lack of sleep filled his muscles with a warmth that filled him and pressed at the back of his eyes. Working to keep his wings pumping harder than before became a challenge. Focusing became his top priority and the mantra of, “Get Lucy help” repeated over and over in his head.
Arriving at the palace with the unconscious Pixie in his arms had set everything into chaos. The Guards and Knights gathered quickly, the Dragon King and Queen rising from bed, magic placed to keep all those in the palace inside. None were allowed out, none allowed in. A detailed list of all those who had been on the premises was made up and a head count was being performed.
The enemy would be ferreted out. All of them had promised that, but he would make sure of it. If none of them could handle it, he would burn the entire world to ash to bring the one who hurt his Lucy to justice, he growled darkly.
Wendy watched her older brother in concern, understanding that both his dragon and demon sides were struggling with the current events. Nothing would calm him, not until Lucy was through the woods and safe. Unfortunately, that was a call she could not make yet. Not with her fever so high.
An Elf from the Ice region had been called for to help keep her temperature down, and she had received word that he would be at the palace by sunrise. Until then, all she could do was use her magic and wet towels to help keep the Pixie with them.
She just hoped it was enough to save both Lucy and Natsu.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just so it is known, I do not condone what Natsu did to Lucy, but the poor boy is feeling so bad, and he did save her! I just really wanted the deep, gut-wrenching emotions that you get when you feel you lost everything. I feel the first part of this really captured it. This one...not so much. I don't know, just don't think it came through as well.
There is one more part of this, and that will be with tomorrow's prompt!
Thanks for reading!

Ha more late night fanfics are sending my brain off the rails.
This time I was just laughing at how 6 out of 7 of the dragon slayers canonically have parental issues. (Cobra's are likely dead considering he was in the tower so not really what I'm looking at)
Laxus clearly has a strained relationship with his dad considering the guy implanted a lacrima in his own son (and I think it's canon that he was going to kill Laxus later for said lacrima but that might just be me mistaking too many fanfics of the dragon slayers with the actual canon) and he shows that he isn't above trying to guilt, gaslight and manipulate Laxus into listening to him during the games (an abuse tactic) and it gives me the vibes that it isn't the first time he's done it, just the first time Laxus refused to listen. Laxus was a teenager when Ivan was exiled which would give him enough time away from Ivan along with the time he spent thinking about his actions, I can guarantee that he realised that something wasn't right about his relationship with his father (but it probably still hurt when he had to see him again)
Both Sting and Rogue had to live with the fabricated trauma of killing the only parents they remember because they were just little kids when they were sent to the future. Why Skiadrum and Weisslogia thought it was a good idea to pretend to a couple of 5 to 6 year olds that they'd killed their guardians I have no idea.
Wendy and Natsu just has abandonment issues since both had no idea their dragons were even leaving (it's possible they were told and then the time displacement muddled that out but who knows) and Wendy got abandoned three times too. Once by Grandeeney, then Mystogan and then Cait shelter so that's gotta sting.
Gajeel definitely doesn't want to admit he has issues but he absolutely does. Phantom probably made him bottle down how he actually felt about Metalicana leaving which would not be good for anyone's mental state but coupled with his environment it really did a number. Like in the Daphne arc(I don't like it but it is an example) he's the only one out of the three who won't follow the trail of a possible dragon and tells the other two off for wanting to follow some random lead that could be false or a trap (which it was) but in ignoring his problems it also means he ignores a lot of them. Gajeel doesn't express emotions outside of the usual ones very often and when he does, he usually isolates himself (he sits on the roof to cry when Belno is killed and he realises he was too late to help her)
