any fairytail fic recs?

oh gosh. i read a lot—and i mean a lot—of FT fics back in the day when the manga was still ongoing (even wrote a few myself), but unfortunately i don't remember most of what i liked back then. however i have been getting back into reading stuff, so:

pretty much anything by @tokkias, their nalu fics are soo good and in-character. link to their ao3 profile here.

Ignite by AbsentAngel is THEE nalu fic for me, it has one of the best characterizations of natsu i've ever seen (i could've sworn this fic was on ao3, but i can't find it there anymore, so this is the ff.net link)

Journey's End by solidxscript was the 'lucy is hit by the repercussions of rewriting the book of END' fic that i wanted. 10/10 no notes

yuanfen by tiddiejoon is another great post-main series nalu fic!

someone who will stay by YayaKoishii: a drabble about princess!lucy and dragon!natsu. so. freaking. cute.

the stop signs i missed by Poteto: one-sided graylu; really freaking good character analysis, i highly recommend giving this a read even if graylu isn't your thing!

Scarlet by Freyjabee. super dark jerza AU, pre-canon. it's really good, but definitely heed the warnings

Date Night by StoryQuipster. in which gajeel accidentally-on-purpose interferes in juvia's love life. if you love gajeel and juvia's friendship as much as i do, you should definitely check this one out!

We Are Young by koa-chan. high school AU but it's actually really good and super believable and in-character!

I know for a lot of people the relationship between Elphaba and Fiyero feels rushed and underdeveloped, but, I don't know, I happen to like the fact that she had such a strong impact on his life in such a short amount of time... like, yes! of course she altered his brain chemistry and whole philosophy of life after a grand total of 3 encounters, she really is THAT girl (I just realized what I did there as soon as I finished typing it, I swear the pun was not intended).

I think they gravitated towards each other because they were exactly what the other needed in their lives.

In the beginning Fiyero was a person that felt comfortable reducing his entire existence and purpose to just being a "hot prince with a scandalacious reputation". But then he meets Elphaba, and she is different than anyone else he'd ever met in all those schools he went to, in more ways than one. She is Not Impressed by his looks or his title. She challenges him because she's able to look past his "nothing matters" bullshit and see that he's actually a really kind, caring person. She looks at him like she knows that he can do better, be better ("no matter how shallow and self-absorbed you pretend to be..."). She inspired him to become the best version of himself.

Fiyero needed that, someone to push him to take control of his life and act upon his wants and beliefs. Without Elphaba he would've had a content but unfulfilled life.

And Elphaba needed someone to stand by her, to not leave her alone, to not be ashamed of her, to fight for her, to prioritize her, and to love her unapologetically. That person is Fiyero (and yes, Glinda could've been that person too, but ultimately she made her choice, and by the time she realized she chose wrong it was already too late).

Elphaba spent her whole life feeling unwanted. She needed someone that would spend years looking for her!!! Someone that would risk everything for her!!! Fiyero did that!!! That man was devoted!!! And that's exactly what she deserved!!!

She was alone her whole life until Glinda (except for Nessa, I guess, but even in that relationship Elphaba was always the one that had to take care of her sister), and she is so strong, but in the end she didn't have to be alone anymore, and she didn't have to be strong, she could just let herself be held and loved, and I love that for her 😭❤️

In conclusion: fiyeraba they could never make me hate you

He just looks so damn tired let my man rest

SEASON 4: five in every episode: 4.01 - the unbearable tragedy of getting what you want

[babsiclesstuff]

You know what,, true.

"Five would never stop trying to save the world"

"Five's only goal is to stop the apocalypse and save his family"

"Five was so out of character this season"

Five's entire arc in season three is him coming to terms with the fact that he's tired, worn out and ready to retire but is constantly forced into the hero role against his will.

Five was willing to let the Kugelblitz destroy the universe and kill his family, but was forced to save it anyway.

I imagine the only reason Five joined the CIA to begin with was because he wasn't able to find peace in that new timeline because he knew something was wrong and if he couldn't make a peaceful life for himself he might as well fill it with something.

But when he finds safety and peace with someone who is probably the only other person truly able to understand his circumstances and why he is the way he is? Of course he wants to fight for that. Of course he wants to preserve that little bit of joy in any way he can, because his year with Lila in the greenhouse was the closest thing to a normal, happy life Five has ever had. He made a huge error by hiding the cypher and keeping her there, but that just adds to the tragedy of his situation. That this one book was the difference between him having peace with the person he loves, or going back to the thing he has cursed his entire life: saving the universe.

And when he gets back, he can't even do that.

"The umbruella Academy ended just like that"

No, it ends the way the Tumblr and Ao3 writers want it to end.

The 8th of August, 2024

Two mistakes of the universe go for a walk. Despite this, the universe doesn’t chew them up and spit them out. It lets them be. They deserve it, after all.

It’s a lovely day.
