What do you think Fairy Tail would’ve been like if Lucy and Brandish had grown up together? Do you think Lucy would’ve been one of the Spriggan 12?

I'm very torn between Brandish joining Fairy Tail or Lucy joining the 12 tbh...

This one isn't really gonna be headcanons. It's basically the plot of a story lol

Lucy ended up running away a lot earlier. Brandish encouraged her to do so from the second Jude started mistreating her

The girls didn't see each other much, but were pen pals

Brandish invites runaway Lucy to join her in Alvarez

The two women become roommates. Which is a bit awkward at first because they've only talked through letters for years but eventually they get the swing of things

Brandish keeps getting offers to join the Spriggan 12 but she refuses because she has no interest in such things

Lucy insists Brandish joins. She thinks it would be good for Brandish to make some new friends

Brandish finally agrees but requests that Lucy joins her as well

While Lucy wants to take the job, part of her still longs for adventure

So she makes a deal with Brandish. Lucy will technically be a high ranking member of Brandish's team, but will also be given the freedom to adventure on her own

The only requirement is that Lucy has to check back every couple months and has to return when Brandish calls

Lucy then returns to Fiore and begins her quest to expand her wizard skills

While with Brandish, Lucy trained a lot and is much stronger than she was in the og series

So she goes on her adventure with Fairy Tail being a high ranking member from the start

Brandish comes and helps during high stress battles but not too often for Fairy Tail to consider her a friend

Brandish decides not to tell Lucy that the guild she joined is technically their enemy. The 12 see it as a bonus and consider Lucy their inside man

Lucy is unintentionally feeding Alvarez information and helping them better prepare to battle the guild

Brandish feels incredibly guilty about this. She tries to extend the amount of time between updates from Lucy, but she knows it's not enough and Brandish is going to put her friend in a terrible situation

When the war happens, Lucy is heartbroken and her friends feel betrayed. Fairy Tail believes Lucy turned on them and kick her from the guild

This destroys Lucy emotionally and Brandish is pissed. She's pissed that the 12 put her in this situation, pissed that Lucy is crying, pissed that they were both used

So Brandish betrays Alvarez and turns to Fairy Tail's side, thus winning them the war

Both girls end up earning Fairy Tail's trust and becoming members

Brandish and Lucy then make a healthy bet for who can find Aquarius first and thus the 100 yq begins

It's a literal race tho. Like both women are searching the world to find Aquarius. Lucy with the help of her team and Brandish on her own
