DIFH x2 Chapter 4: Hoarding?

Nalu multichap Basically it’s Natsu’s and Lucy’s point of views in which their away from each other and sad/mad about it. And if any of you have read my other fics, You KNOW It’s going to have more Fluff in it than a Build-A-Bear Workshop and a Pillow factory combined! Sometimes so fluffy that it may seem out of character at times so yeah! (Better summary in first chapter!)

On fanfiction

Rating: T (swearing, puberty, violence, some mentions of abuse and there is sadness but there is not smut or sex in any way shape or form!)

Words:

| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |

I really couldn't figure this out and I've rewritten it SO many times but out of all of the ones I had this one was my favorite. It's really cheesy, but whatever. What do ya expect? I have a dairy farm! There's gonna be cheese! And honestly I was kinda just letting my writing go wild on this one...

"What the fuck are you doing Salamander?" Gajeel said, one metal eyebrow up, looking at the pinkette who currently had the top half of him flopped out the window, from his sitting position on the couch. In the tall man's hands, was the metal box that was on the couch earlier.

"I'm trying to see if I can see any sign of Luce but... it's so dark in there right now. There was so much noise before but now it's gone. What do you think they're doing?"

"Uh, probably sleeping. Which I am tryin' to do and what you should be doin' too!" Gajeel sneered. When Gajeel didn't hear a response, he looked up to see if Salamander or his blue cat was looking. Happy was sleeping on his green sack that he always carried on his back while Natsu still out the window but now whimpering and whining softly. Tch, what a moron… Gajeel thought. ...Can't he see how damn lucky he is? Even though deep down, Gajeel was in the same state. But by now, he was used to the pain of being away from the one he loves...

Knowing that Natsu was occupied and Happy sleeping, (He didn't have to worry about Pantherlily seeing, he already knew) Gajeel looked back at the intricate metal box and smiled softly. Patting the top, he opened it carefully as if it was the most precious thing in the existence.

Inside was a book, an orange T-shirt, and a yellow polka-dotted headband. Quickly, he tucked the items into his arms, flipped over on the couch so his back was facing everyone. He took in the scent of paper, ink, and lavender of all the items and immediately relaxed, the familiar rumbling from his throat began. All tension left his body all at once. Although the scents of the items were faded, they were enough to calm him.

The whimpering pinkette had his eyes squinting and nose twitching, searching for any sign of his most precious person but nonetheless, even the comfort of his absolute favorite scent of vanilla and fruity sweetness was nowhere to be found as he stared at the building. It took every fiber of his being to keep from jumping out the window and going to her… He promised Gajeel and Natsu neverbroke a promise…

No matter how much it sucked.

Natsu sighed in defeat, knowing that this was better than nothing. He was disappointed that he didn't get to see Lucy. But he understood why Gajeel didn't want Natsu to do what he originally wanted to do. He would be mad if someone told Lucy or anyone else about him sneaking in her home to sleep next to her. Speaking of sleep he was starting to feel drowsy.

At least if I'm here, I'll see her first thing when she comes out... She'll have that pretty smile on her face like she always does… And with that, the pinkette laid his head against arms and closed his eyes…..

But painful stab of abandonment and longing washed over him before he could even get comfortable on the windowsill, unknowingly yelping as it did. His hand that was not holding him up was clutching his aching chest. He felt as if his heart and guts were being brutally ripped out of him with some sort of poison. As if they were being slashed into tiny little pieces. His head felt like it was being ripped apart, as if someone was trying to rip him in half. It felt worse than motion sickness.

Mavis, how he hated this! It hurt so goddamn fucking much! It made him want to rip everything apart and wreak havoc on anything and everything that was in his way, keeping him away from her. The world seemed to spin and flip around plain darkness. He just wants to be with her. That's all he wanted. Nothing seemed right without her. Was that so much to ask?! He groaned and keeled over, sweating profusely. His hair and clothes sticking to his overheating body. He luckily fell on the floor and not out the window. He shook and shivered, pleading to any merciful being to just let him be by her side…

"Open your eyes, dumbass!" Was all he heard in his state of pain and then suddenly the world was...back to normal?

"Ugh..." Nope, scratch that.

"Hurts doesn't it?"

Natsu looked away from the ground and instead looked to where the source of the sound was, but everything was so blurry...

"Gods, is that you? If it is please take this pain away…" Natsu croaked, his face crinkled in pain.

"What? Hell no! I ain't no God! Where'd the fuck you get that fro-Oh, shit! HE'S BURNING A HOLE IN THE FLOOR!" Gajeel retorted, but Natsu just moaned back curling further into himself, making the metal floor slowly turn into a bright red and melting underneath him. Gajeel growled. "Happy?!"

"Aye?! What can I do?!" The blue exceed looked up from his hurting friend. He knew Natsu was too hot to comfort him even though Happy wanted to.

"Go to Lucy's hou-"

"LUCY! What about Lucy?! Is she here?! Where is my Lucy?! I need to see her!" the pinkette tried to look around but was too delirious and in too much pain that he just flopped back over.

"Oh geez, Lily please don't tell me I am this pathetic when I get like this?"

Lily just laughed. "You act exactly like this guy."

Gajeel groaned and slapped his hand to his forehead. "Whatever. It doesn't matter right now. Happy like I said, go to Lucy's house and-No, Natsu, she ain't here right now! Stop bein' so dramatic, ya piece of shit!-when you get there grab something of hers like a T-shirt or somethin'. Do NOT grab any of her panties or bras! You'll kill 'im if you do. Now go!"

"Aye, sir!" And with that Happy flew off, you could hear him yell 'Max speed!' as he went. Gajeel sighed and shook his head looking down on the groaning pinkette, "Shoulda known you wouldn't have been able to handle it right away. It's your first real night that you're tryin' to go to sleep bein' this far away from her without anything of hers, right? Maybe it woulda been better if I'd just sent your sorry ass back to her place... At least you can go to hers..."

"Wha…?" Natsu felt as if his mind was warring against itself. One side was screeching at him to go to her, but the other was resisting. Knowing that promises are meant to be kept. He was in hell right now…Where was his Angel when he needed her?

All of a sudden Happy burst through the window, landing in a metal bucket that made a 'clang!' sound on impact, panting heavily. "I got... the stuff…" He wheezed as he showed what he had in his arms. A little blue T-shirt, a yellow and pink tank top, and a little ripped white blanket.

"Damn, you're quick. Good job now give 'em here," Gajeel said, putting out his hand for the items which Happy gave to him, then began to walk towards Natsu. "Lily, what do you do when I do-"

"GIMME!" A blur of pink flew past him and suddenly the items that were in Gajeel's hands were now in the possession of the Flame Dragon Slayer as he crashed into a pile of scraps.

The boy, who wasn't even affected by the crash (it was nothing to the pain he felt earlier), marveled at the wondrous treasures in his hands, he fondled them, just indulging the fact that they were in his arms, as if they may disappear if he were to let them go. Everything about them screamed 'LUCY'. He brought the articles of fabric to his face as if he were trying to suffocate himself and deeply inhaled the sweet, sweet scent. Relief came over him as the excruciating agony he was in seconds before ebbed away until it was only a slight throbbing ache in his chest and head. It was only a substitute for her after all. He began to purr softly, something he only did when he thought of her or was with her. He remembered how he got embarrassed by it at first and smiled.

He and Happy were hanging out with Lucy at her house when he first purred. It happened a few weeks after they met. She was doing the dishes while Natsu and Happy dried them, when the two boys looked at each other, forming an idea. They snuck up on her as she was humming to a tune, wiping the inside of a bowl when they picked her up! (She squealed! It was so cute!) Next, they threw her on the bed and tickled her! She laughed her pretty laugh and yelled for them to stop but they refused and kept tickling her!

The boy and cat started to laugh also as the girl beneath them squirmed and giggled trying to get the boys to stop. The cat laughed because Lucy screamed 'Stop! I'm gonna pee!' and the boy laughed because he was just so happy because she was so happy! He noticed that something was vibrating within him he just didn't think much about it.

Soon, the boy and the cat decided that that was enough and stopped tickling her but Natsu still kept his hold on the beautiful girl. As she calmed down from her torture, she was about to punch and scold the boys when she heard something. With every cackle that Natsu released, there was a low rumbling with each breath. She said 'Wait, Natsu hold still!' before she put her pretty head on his chest trying to hear his breathing.

Natsu immediately froze as the color of his hair started to show on his cheeks, he was not expecting her to do that. He was surprised that she didn't hear his racing heart as she listened. He… really liked her being there. As if she belonged there…

The boy, distracted by the girl who he so very much adored, unknowingly began to purr louder. Lucy gasped suddenly and jerked away from him, making him very disappointed, and giggled cutely 'OH MY GOODNESS, NATSU! YOU PURR! THAT'S SO CUTE!' Happy and him were surprised to hear that statement, but Natsu was still delighted to hear that she thought he was cute, making him purr even louder to the point where they were able to hear it without being close to him. Happy gasped too and jumped up and down and shouted 'We're purring buddies!' then began to purr also.

Natsu made them pinkie-promise not to tell anyone which they agreed to.

Ever since that day, whenever Lucy came around, he would purr. Sometimes so softly that only he knew that he was purring, sometimes so embarrassingly loud that he felt like he was causing an earthquake! Sometimes he would hold his breath trying to make it stop! It was so embarrassing! Imagine if Gray or any of the guild for that matter found out! At least Lucy thought it was cute…

"-mander! Salamander! Get your lazyass up!"

"You didn't take this long…"

"NATSU! ARE YOU DEAD?!"

"Salamander's fine. He's purrin', ain't he?" came not so cute voices. Natsu groaned from his position, still breathing in the heavenly scent. Couldn't they just leave him alone!

"YOU'RE NOT DEAD!" Happy said well, happily and flew into Natsu's back for Natsu was laying on the scrap pile face first, curled around his precious treasures.

"Well, that's good. I'm gonna sleep now, and you two better be out of my house in the morning," Gajeel grumbled, his own precious treasures still in his hands. With that, the tall dragon slayer went back to the couch getting ready to sleep again.

"What?! You just can't leave him there! You need to help him!" Lily yelled in Gajeel's sensitive ears.

"Ouch! That hurt ya jerk!" Gajeel got up and yelled back at the cat, forgetting that he was supposed to be quiet. "And anyway, you know this is the best we can do for him right now!"

"What's going on? I don't get it!" Happy cried, then pointed at the limp boy in the pile of metal scraps. "What happened to Natsu?!" "He's hoarding that's all. That stuff you got him should last him through tonight at least."

"What's hoarding?! I still don't get it!"

"Ya don't know?!" Gajeel shouted back, honestly surprised.

"Tell me…"

All the males in the room stared at to where the new voice spoke. Natsu, was now sitting up, his eyes, the only part of his head you could see, staring everyone down menacingly.

But…

Let's just say that it is really hard to be taken seriously when you have a white blanket, a blue T-shirt, and a yellow and pink tank top wrapped around your head making you look like a mummy who went berserk in a paint shop.

Happy, Lily, and Gajeel burst out in laughter.

"You look stupid!"

"Oh, like you're one to talk, Gajeel!" Lily said, in between his laughter, holding his sides. "You do it too!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP LILY!"

Although you couldn't see it, Natsu started to blush under his makeshift mask, still breathing deeply while pressing the cloth to his nose and mouth, rubbing the soft fabric with his fingers. It felt so nice...

"Don't change the subject! Tell me what's going on!" Natsu demanded.

"How do you not know? And you call yourself a dragon slayer! Oh, and quit shouting!," Gajeel said between boisterous laughter.

"No!" Natsu shouted back, pointing a finger into the older dragon slayer's chest. "This obviously is somethin' that I apparently don't know! This has somethin' to do with being a dragon slayer right? I'm not that stupid! You've been holding onto that stuff of Levy's for the longest time and I need Lucy's stuff to function! I think Igneel said something 'bout this but...Arhgh! I don't remember!" He threw his hands up in frustration. "Wait, what about Lucy?! What's she got to do with this?! ANSWER ME, GAJEEL!"

"Geez, you're loud. You're just lucky that you didn't burn a complete hole through the floor so that I was able to fix it quick. By the way, you are stupid. Especially if you don't remember your dragon telling you this," Gajeel replied still snickering.

"Gajeel just tell us!" A little voice shouted. Happy had jumped in between the 2 blinked in surprise, and stepped away from each other.

"I already told ya. He's hoarding."

My goodness, give them some info Gajeel! Pantherlily thought, pinching the bridge of his nose. Then he sat next to Happy who was now on the floor waiting for answers.

"Hoarding?" Natsu asked, tilting his cloth covered head.

"Yeah, at least that's what I call it," Gajeel said. "You seriously don't know what's going on?"

"No, I don't."

"Wow. Ok, uhhh," Gajeel said, thinking about how he should word this to the unknowing dragon slayer. He for some reason felt an older brother teaching his kid brother about puberty. "So, Bunny Girl's very important and precious to you right?"

"Yeah! She means everythin' to me!" Natsu responded, saying it as if it was the most the most obvious thing in the world.

"Well, uh… Damn this feels weird to talk about. Ok, to sum things up, Dragons like keeping whatever is most precious to them close to them and safe. Whether it be gold and jewels or friends and loved ones. They're able to be away from them for a while, just as long as they come back to whatever it is to sleep. Don't know why but dragons feel reassured when they are able to be with them to protect them because when they're asleep they can't watch over them in the way they want to. So they like to be with them, makes 'em feel comfortable. Kinda makes them feel safe too. And with us bein' dragon slayers, we kinda have the same thing. That pain that you were in was basically your body telling you "You can't go to sleep yet, you need to go back to the hoard" The pain is supposed to wake you up or something so you can go back. Ya catching on so far?"

"But…Then why hasn't this happened to me before? I've been away from her before-"

"But you would usually stay at her house right? At her house, Bunny Girl's scent is everywhere. So in a sense, she's "there". At least enough to fool you or whatever."

That makes sense, Natsu thought. That's why he can't sleep without Lucy…

"Wait a sec, if we have to be near them or whatever, why didn't I just run over there?"

"I don't know man! All I know is that Dragon Slayers do this thing for some reason."

"Gajeel curls up into a ball and turns completely into metal," Lily stated.

"Thank you for saying that Lily," Gajeel said through gritted teeth.

"You're away from Levy right now. Why didn't you get like that, Gajeel?" Natsu asked, still playing with the fabrics across his face.

Not realising the can of worms he just opened.

"Because unlike you, asshole," Gajeel snapped, he stood up and glared at the pinkette, his red eyes narrowed dangerously. "I don't have the privilege you do! I don't get to be with Levy every fuckin' night like you do! This is as close as I get to be with her! I'm used to the pain! I had to get used to it! And it was hell! It still is hell! Think about it Salamander! Could you handle this every goddamn ni-"

"I think I heard something. It's coming from up there!" Said a voice from outside.

The voice was a girl.

A girl they knew.

It was Levy.

Everyone up in the metal treehouse froze.

I know it’s a bit different but please be nice!

I’ll go with all my on-going fics first and then move on to oneshots. :’D

//multichap

1. The Art Of Slaying Dragons [Nalu / Ongoing / Rival Chefs]

Cooking, despite what some might try to tell you, is an art.

2. In Every Living Thing [Nalu / Ongoing / Modern Fantasy]

The marble glistened in the light that fell upon it like ripples dancing across water, sparkling and hypnotizing.

3. Wildwood [Nalu / Completed / Fantasy]

Darkness was lurking in the forest.

Smoke welled out beneath her neighbour’s door.

“Locked out again?”

“Thank you so much. Have a nice day!”

7. On Whom The Pale Moon Gleams [Nalu / Hiatus / Fantasy]

The shrill sound of an alarm clock ripped through the silence, and soon a tentative arm emerged from a mountain of blankets to blindly swat at it.

8. Hit And Run [InuKag / Ongoing / Modern Delinquent Inuyasha]

It wasn’t every day you found yourself staring down the barrel of a gun.

//oneshots

9. You Seem Familiar [Nalu / Witch’s Familiar]

First there was a sound, like a rip and a sloosh, and then the smell of burning and a small, tiny flame that danced insecurely along the little match it fed on.

10. A Great Fear Of Shallow Living [Nalu / Pirate & Mermaid]

There had been a time when her mother had spilled a cup of marbles onto her desk, laughing at her own misfortune.

11. Piroschka (Nalu / Little Red Riding Hood]

A young woman, the hems of her many skirts dragging along the wet ground, made her way through the arched doorway of the tavern she called her workplace, and along the road leading to the little marketplace of Magnolia town.

12. Saints And Sinners [Nalu / Princess and Dragon]

The ropes cut tightly into her wrists. Lucy Heartfilia wiggled against the rough pole she was tied to, trying to momentarily ease the pain.

13. Maybe I Just Wanna Be Yours [Nalu / Band]

Being back at The Fairy’s Tail felt nostalgic.

14. Hidden In Plain Sight [Nalu / Magic Apprentice]

“Hey Natsu,” Lucy said, staring at her reflection in her bedroom mirror, “Did you know I’m something like a witch now?”

15. Divine Panishment [Nalu / God of Slightly Burned Things & Chef]

“How could this happen?!” Lucy wailed quietly to herself, the busy hustle and bustle of the large kitchen around her all but forgotten as she stared at the slightly burned sausage in front of her.

//nsfw

16. Those Who Play [Nalu / Roleplay NSFW]

This was an idea that could only go exactly two ways: wonderfully right or terribly wrong.

17. A Dragon Well Trained [Nalu / Training NSFW]

Sweat dripped down Natsu’s chin, landing softly on the earth below.

18. The Splitting Bamboo [Nalu / Kamasutra NSFW]

“Ouch!!”

19. Shower Me In Love [Nalu / Shower NSFW]

The water dripped hot onto his skin, but not hot enough to not fall victim to his body heat.

“Why did you buy that game again?"

#ask games #this was fun!#v interesting #whew i almost didnt make 20 #:'D

Writing Meme

Tagged by @not-just-any-fangirl. Thank you so much!!! I saw this going around and thought it looked fun.

I tag: @firedragonalchemistofcourage, @speedymomentum, and…honestly all the other authors in this fandom that I know have been tagged already. I CHOOSE YOU!!! The first ten writers that like this and haven’t done it yet, do it!

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (or however many you have altogether). See if there are any patterns. Then, tag your favorite authors.

(Limited to non requests and three wips! )

This is an interesting concept. What do you guys think my patterns are? It’ll be interesting to see! I’ll do my most recent writing to my oldest.

1. Original Story (Whose title I shall share someday… like when I sell it ha you have to pay losers <3)

“Jake, you’d better have a fantastic reason for calling me at three in the morning, or I might just have to cut out your liver with a shovel.”

2. Magi WIP [Magi: Labyrinth of Magic | No main ship–Side ships of Sharryamu and Alimor | Multichap | Not Posted]

Contrary to popular belief, Ja’far didn’t actually tell Sinbad everything.

3. The Inugami [Inuyasha | Inukag & Mirsan | Multichap | Ongoing]

For the eighty-second time that day, the thought crossed Kagome’s mind: I want to go home.

4. Big Tree Dreams [Fairy Tail | Nalu | Oneshot | Complete]

The same question had circled around Natsu’s mind for several hours: Why would anyone wait till the night of Christmas Eve to buy a Christmas tree?

5. All’s Fair in Love and Pokemon [Fairy Tail | Nalu | Oneshot | Complete]

CLANG!

“Shit!”

6. Make A Wish [Fairy Tail | Nalu, Gajevy, Gruvia, & Jerza | Oneshot Collection | Ongoing]

“You are doin’ great, but you just gotta move faster,” Natsu sighed, scratching the back of his neck as he paced slightly.

7. Unraveling [Fairy Tail | Nalu, Gajevy, Gruvia, & Jerza | Multichap | Ongoing]

Juvia held her breath as she tiptoed out the main door of the Mother Tree palace.

8. Fairy Tail WIP [Fairy Tail | Gajevy & Nalu | Oneshot | Not Posted]

All Levy McGarden had wanted was a new bookshelf.

9. Pass it On [Fairy Tail | Nalu, Gajevy, Gruvia, & Jerza | Twoshot | Complete]

“But I just don’t know what to get her and I mean we’re going out to dinner but is flowers too cliche or is there something that she’d rather have that she’s mentioned to you Mira oh my gosh I’m the worst boyfriend ever I never know what to do for her and she’s so perfect with gifts every time I mean they used to be creepy gifts but she got better and I haven’t-”

10. Double Dad Dilemma [Fairy Tail | Igneel/Grandine, Nalu, Gajevy, & Gruvia | Multichap | Ongoing]

“Bringing home the puppy was one thing, but this is crossing the line, Ig.”

11. The Way We Smile [Fairy Tail | Nalu, Gajevy, & Gruvia | Multichap | Ongoing]

The hoofbeats clattered against the cobblestone, but much to Lucy Heartfilia’s relief, none on the dark streets of Penzance opened their windows.

12. Painted Blind [Fairy Tail | Nalu | Oneshot | Complete]

It was through the harsh, bitter, evening breeze after her fifteenth failed date when Lucy heard the sound.

13. It’s a Dragneel Thing [Fairy Tail | Nalu & Zervis | Oneshot | Complete]

“So, will you be going to the Winter Formal, Natsu?”

14. Roll to Me [Fairy Tail | Nalu | Oneshot | Complete]

Lucy Heartfilia figured that on one’s wedding day, one should be looking in the mirror at their wedding dress with absolute joy, dreaming ahead to the countless days in the future to be spent with the love of their life represented by the pure white of her perfect dress.

15. I’m With You [Fairy Tail | Slight Nalu | Oneshot | Complete]

Lucy finally came to a halt from her desperate running on a bridge, panting and steadying herself up against a bus stop station.

16. Somewhere to Begin [Fairy Tail | Nalu | Twoshot | Complete]

“What have you done?!”

17. Light Me Up [Fairy Tail | Nalu | Oneshot | Complete]

“Holy flaming hot damn.”

18. Stability [Fairy Tail | Nalu | Oneshot | Complete]

“You have got ta be kiddin’ me.”

19. The Keys of Fire [Fairy Tail | Nalu, Gruvia, Gajevy, Jerza, & more | Multichap | Complete]

“You don’t have the exclusive issue?”

20. The Problem with Immortality [Percy Jackson and the Olympians | OCxOC & Percabeth | Multichap | Complete]

I woke to the sound of the horn.

@mythical-fangirls hmm...Well, idk your preferences, but here's some of my personal favorites :-) They aren't my top faves or anything (one day...one day I'll make a list) but just some of the ones I love that I managed to dig up in a short amount of time. Warning that this list is quite Nalu heavy:

The Game by maebethistime. Oneshot. Erza's perspective of accidentally witnessing Natsu and Lucy's burgeoning romantic relationship. Hot and heavy, but no smut. Great characterization, in fact it made it onto my best Natsu characterization rec post (along with a couple more of these).

Lessons by skysignal. Multichap, complete. Nalu all-timer, also contains some choice Gajevy and Gruvia. Hot and heavy but no smut. Also on the best Natsu characterization list.

The Astrologist by NavyBlueWings, who writes wonderful AUs. Multichap. DOES contain smut. This is a favorite of a lot of peoples'. They have a couple other great Fairy Tail fics as well for all the Big 4 couples. If you go to their authors page and filter by fandom you can find them.

Forbidden Forest by leesup. Mutlichap, complete. Really funny and wonderfully handled Nalu romance & angsty elements. If you like this one I recommend checking out Princess and the Pirate too, but it's incomplete.

If Only I Lived In Dragon Years by simplysaiyan. Warning that this is very angsty & tragic, but such a good fic I can't not recommend it. Literally broke my heart back when I read it the first time as a kid.

The (-3) Year Quest by fingers falling upwards is unfinished, but I still recommend it to everyone because it's amazing. My absolute favorite handling of Natsu and Lucy actually dealing with the fact he left her behind without saying goodbye for a year. All the characterization is incredible in this. It also coined the tags "#slow burn but like for idiots #idiot burn" lmao.

Plan H and Plan I by Toxineena are wonderful. Gray and Erza scheme to get a very oblivious Natsu and Lucy together. Read them in order.

Furry by thetinyfoxtail. this Nalu confession oneshot is hilarious and cute.

Fairies After Dark by ShelbyShoe. This is unfinished, but a fascinating AU (I think it even won one of the guild awards for this...btw I recommend checking out their winners & nominations lists for good fics!)

Flame's Desire by Rougescribe is one of my favorite AUs. Very romantic, funny, and fascinating. Lot of sun/moon mythos going on with this one. warning for dark themes especially in the beginning

Most of her fics are incomplete because she was harassed out of the fandom, but silver light of dawn wrote some great fics (that's her finished oneshot).

Consequences by Juvia0613. Gruvia pregnancy AU. I loved watching them overcome the odds of the accidental pregnancy, her insecurity, and Gray's history of poor communication. It was one of my main inspirations for my little Gruvia oneshot I have linked on my pinned.

Berserk by Rivendell101 is like objectively amazing. They are even thinking of turning it into a book. It remains incomplete for now but is still worth a read imo.

Desperate Times by kayla the kawaii girl. Smutty Nalu multichap. Some of the funniest Gray & Natsu banter I've ever read. Dragonslayer Mate AU. Also some primo jealousy.

Please Know Who I Am by naluqueen. Next gen fic (and one of the inspirations for mine) where the characters' future kids wind up in the past. Takes a really cute and interesting view of what the future might look like.

Intruder Alert by ClumsyMustache. Absolutely adorable Nalu fic where she catches him in the act of sneaking into her bed. Oneshot.

Whiskey Burning by Absent Angel. Cute Nalu Oneshot. Heats up ;)

Apodyopsis by looneytails. Same description as above.

Writer's Block by randomteenager. Straight up smut. I really like this fic. Premise is that Lucy doesn't know how to write smut so Natsu, uh, helps her out. Then there are complications.

Pouring by Toxineena. This is SUCH a good Gruvia oneshot.

A Prank Gone Right by fazzems. ngl, this has "A Dragon's Guide To Claim Your Mate" vibes. They are both just so silly but too hilarious not to rec. Dragon's Guide had me in tears the first time I read it.

Scandalous by lovelysakura99 [EDIT listed the wrong fic here at first, sorry!] Wonderful little Gruvia fic. Slowburn but a oneshot. Modern AU. Very good characterization. Side of Nalu.

Respect by Aryndiel. Headcanon about how Gajeel and Juvia became friends.

Stuck On You by nardragon. Hilarious fic where Lucy and Natsu wind up in a spell where they're literally stuck in each other's space and the rest of the guild has to try to separate them. Background of growing romance.

Boxer Boy by LaynaPanda. Boxing AU (surprise surprise) oneshot with a heavy side of Gajevy.

Good Vibrations by randomteenager. Gruvia smut.

The Truth Revealing Cards by Dark Shining Light. Funny, cute Nalu confession oneshot.

Meet The Parents by Madartiste. Lucy on her way to meet Natsu's parents in a modern AU.

Date Night by StoryQuipster. Gajeel winds up involved in Juvia's love life. Mainly Gruvia fic. Incredibly cute and silly.

Hanging by a Thread by AbsentAngel. Some of my all-time favorite Nalu smut. feels super in-character. See also Break Fast.

Naughty Nalus by snogfairy. Dump of smutty Nalu oneshots. Chapters 3 and 9 are super good.

Thank You, Nashi by flamefairyx777. Natsu/Lucy/Lisanna love triangle. Natsu has a kid he doesn't know about but when Lucy winds up in danger, she finds him and they get to know each other. I love this one, but the sequel wasn't for me as it contained a major character death.

Here's a link to my AO3 bookmarks, I'm not done unprivating my recs but it's a start!

FFNet is still a pretty strong holdover for a lot of the Fairy Tail fics though, so I also recommend checking out this rec post and the one it references (the framing on the original post is very rude and obnoxious, but the addition is quite good). Also I'd learn to do a search and look through other author's favorites (click the Filter buttons).

Also highly recommend clicking around to the other chapters on that RicardianScholar Clark-Weasley fic I linked in the original post. It is really good.

"Tales of Fairies" by RicardianScholar Clark-Weasley is a FT fandom all-timer, of course, but some of the chapters in particular hold such a special place in my heart. Just a few off the top of my head, in no particular order:

the one where Reedus paints yaoi of Natsu and Gray to promote public interest in the guild lmfao

the one Team Natsu makes him pull the cart since he can't ride in it

the viking AU. idek if i like the Nalu or Jerza one better [part 1 (Nalu), Part 2 (Jerza)]

The War of the Roses AU, while not actually probably one of my top favorites, is objectively amazing (major character death warning for this one at the end) [Part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, Part 6, part 7, part 8, Part 9 (really a prologue), part 10, part 11, part 12, part 13, part 14, part 15, End]

the AU where Natsu convinced Lucy to marry him before bringing her to Fairy Tail (the chapter about the aftermath of Natsu leaving is so good) [part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5 (Edolas), Part 6 (aftermath of natsu leaving)]

the one where they all revert into children and Lucy's spirits & the remaining adults have to take care of them (Gildarts getting the chance to be his dad when she was a little girl is cathartic and sweet)

The Gangster AU (from the OP)

The one with the Pied Piper trying to kidnap the Fairy Tail kids and giving them back

The one that explores Laxus's and Mystogan's friendship

Nalu and Gruvia child's first kiss

Chapter where Fairy Tail found Future Lucy earlier in the GMG arc (some primo Nalu jealousy in this one 👌)

A deeper exploration of Natsu dimly remembering Wendy at the beginning of the Nirvana arc

Chapter where Natsu vanished with Mavis and Zeref (angsty but hopeful/happy conclusion)

hmm there's definitely more but i can't think of em now. also if i remember later maybe i'll come back to try to link the specific chapters
