Hello everyone! I have been working on this for several weeks now and I finally have the first chapter done! It took me a really long time to do this because I've been focused on my other series, but it also gave me more time to put as much detail as I wanted in it so that's good. This Fairy AU was my very first fanfic idea and I hope you like reading it! Like I've said before, I'm not an incredible writer, I'm still just a kid, but the support that I've received is makes me feel so confident inside and you have my gratitude. (Extends arms out and grabs all the viewers in tight hug)

Okay, now that I got all of my feels out, reviews are always appreciated and I love hearing opinions on stories, not to mention I write a ton when I get reviews because I want to get the next chapter out so I can hear more feedback. I also feel really guilty if I don't update for a long time.

PLEASE ENJOY!

I am not worthy of claiming that I own Fairy Tail of any of it's beautiful characters, Hiro Mashima holds that great honor.

Levy was quite happy with how the house turned out.

Well, down right overjoyed would have been a much more appropriate opinion for how she really felt.

She and Lucy had found the birdhouse after a horrific storm, with winds so powerful that entire trees had uprooted and crashed against the forest floor. They had discovered it tightly wedged between a moss covered log and boulder, totally drenched and basically ruined. The old faded lilac paint on the roof and walls was peeling off and the floor had begun to rot from the rain. Robin droppings had been scattered along the floor, evidence of the house's previous owners; the smell had been so atrocious it made Levy's eyes start to water by just the mere thought of it. But they still saw some great potential in the old birdhouse.

Natsu and Gray had been an immense help during the followings weeks, though they had barely even began their first day of work when the two decided to have a contest on who could finish their part of the house faster, all while calling each other names that Levy didn't care to repeat; she had decided long ago that boys like them were strange in that way.

Natsu would tilt the house on its side and use his fire to burn away the worst of the rot from the wood, he then would find large wood chips that had somehow escaped the rain to replace the floor. While Gray found them large sticks which he would file down with his ice until all that was left of the bumpy wood was smooth planks for the roof. They'd even helped them repaint the entire place by using the soft ends of dandelion seeds for brushes and made paint from forget-me-nots and lilies. Levy thought that the soft white walls and baby blue roof gave it at exceptionally homey feel, and it was definitely worth getting her hands stained from making the paint by putting the petals in water and pressing down on them until the colorful liquid leaked out.

Natsu had even gone as far as to burn in a window and make them clay windowboxes; which Levy quickly filled with baby's breath and hung up.

Lucy and she had spent nearly a week decorating it on the inside, which had been her favorite part. They had fastened chairs out of twigs and "borrowed" a fake log table that had belonged to a child living in a farm at the end of Magnolia. They had also taken a small wooden cupboard that they had stocked with sweet cakes and hollowed acorn shells filled to the brim with milk.

Not to mention the gorgeous flower beds that Lucy had made. An arrangement of petals made up the quilts, ranging from daisies to petunias, all stitched together by Lucy's careful hand with a pine needle and a spool of spiderweb, laid over a mattress of fluffy cotton and soft willow leaves folded over each other into pillows.

Though Levy's favorite part of the small home was her reading nook she had personally furnished. Nestled in the corner, right next to a cozy toadstool, was a small oak shelf overflowing with books. Most were old stories of the adventures that had been unraveled right in Magnolia, but she had collected several others from neighboring forests. Including some incredibly detailed and complex books on ancient languages that have all been but erased from the memory of any fairy.

She had just finished squeezing the last one in when the whole house gave a violent lurch. She stumbled forward and wrapped her pale arms around the toadstool, several books fell from the shelf and scattered themselves along the ground. What was happening outside?

She flew forward and towards the door, which had been carved out to be three times bigger than it's original size by a few of Laki's woodpeckers, and nearly stepped on Natsu's hand when she landed in the doorway.

Wait.

Since when did they leave the ground?!

"Heya Lev'!" Natsu released one hand to offer her a salute before wincing and grabbing back onto the house. "We're moving the house for ya." His wings were pumping themselves powerfully behind him, tiny embers scattered with every stroke of his large auburn wings, which always reminded Levy of a burning inferno. Sweat was streaming down his forehead from the effort, and a few strands of pink hair were clinging to his skin.

"Oh," she blinked and smiled, leaning down to get closer to her old friend. "That's so very kind of you, Nats-"

"IDIOT, DON'T LET GO OF THE HOUSE! I'M GONNA BREAK MY BACK ON THIS!"

Levy turned her head towards the voice and could just make out some of Gray's raven spiky hair and icy crystallized wings on the other side of the house. Judging from the strain in his voice he was probably doing the majority of the lifting.

"Oh really?" Natsu feigned a surprised look, widening his eyes and raising his eyebrows towards the hair that had attached itself to his forehead, before completely letting go of the house altogether; resulting in the crash of furniture and earning a loud shriek from both Gray and Levy, the latter of which had to grab onto the door frame to avoid being thrown against the side of the house. Natsu immediately grabbed it again and Levy could tell by the trembling of his shoulders, and incredibly twisted grin, that he was trying not to burst out laughing.

"That wasn't funny, Natsu!" Lucy's extremely aggravated voice rose up at them from the ground. "Me and Levy just finished decorating in there!"

Levy steadied herself and buzzed down towards Lucy, who had made herself very comfortable on a mushroom that had sprouted out of an old pine stump, and settled down beside her. "Do you know where we should hang it?"

Lucy smiled and her pink wings, which were shaped almost exactly like that of a Giant Swallowtail, started to flap excitedly. "I thought we could hang it over near Erza and Mira's home and that way you'll be closer to your work as well." Her hair had been beautifully styled into a braid that hung over one shoulder. She ran a hand through it and smoothed out her peony dress. "Although I'm sure there's no place we could possibly choose to live that would be half as fun as living with Cana."

Levy couldn't resist the smile that was tugging at her lips. She and Lucy and been talking about getting their own home for months, especially after Bickslow had accidently dropped a beehive on their old one that they had shared with Wendy and Lisanna. Lisanna had moved in with Mira and Wendy now lived with her old friend Carla, leaving Levy and Lucy all on their lonesome.

Thankfully, Cana had been glad to offer them a permanent room at her tavern. Levy was grateful for the hospitality, but she wouldn't miss the staggeringly overpowering stench of nectar that Cana never seemed to run out of.

"Hey, Cana!" Lucy cried out, waving over towards a patch of larkspur, where a full-figured fairy was nursing one of the flowers to her her mouth, drowning away all sorrows.

Speak of the devil.

Cana paused her drinking to grin over at them and waved them over. "Well if it ain't a couple of my favorite ladies, any of ya feel like tryin' to outdo me?" her free hand rested itself on one of her wide hips while the other continued to fiddle with the petals of the pretty flower. Her long tresses were tied back by a thin strand of a grape vine; a plant that Levy thought suited the beautiful fairy perfectly because of her passion for the vines fruit and all thing that had a trace of nectar.

Levy smiled and put up a submissive hand. "Nah, we would probably just slow you down, besides we need to tell the boys where to put our new home." Cana glanced behind her, where the two fairies were bickering about who was holding it wrong or something of the like.

She smirked when Gray threatened to freeze Natsu's to the back of a hawk when it was preparing to dive for a mouse, relying on the hopeless case of motion sickness Natsu suffered from.

She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, which she then wiped on her ivy dress, and grinned. "I'm gonna miss you two, make sure you come by all the time ya hear?"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Cana! I told you stop hogging all of the nectar! My bees actually need that stuff, besides you've been drinking it since this morning!" Bickslow was straddled on one of his bees, arms crossed and even with his hemet, Levy could sense the stern glare he was focusing on Cana. More bees hovered around him, though none of them daring to get in between the fairy and her beloved nectar.

"We need it, we need it." Hummed his bees.

Cana returned the glare and shook her fist at him. "And I told you the next time you lecture me 'bout my drinkin' I'd tell Elfman that you've been mooning over Lisanna for the past season! I wonder how he'll take it when he finds out that you convinced her to sneak out last week so you could take her on a bird ride outside of Magnolia, you know, the place where Elfman told her to never go at night without him or Mira!"

"S-shut up!" he countered, Levy could only imagine the dark shade of red his ears were most likely turning, or the sweat that was probably pouring down his forehead, though she could never tell from his old helmet that always shielded his face. She bit down on her bottom lip, it was all she could do to keep from laughing at his obvious embarrassment. She'd known about Bickslow's little crush on Lisanna for a while now. The way he sat up straighter whenever she was around, or how he suddenly became a total gentlemen when he interacted with her, instead of his normal wisecracking self.

Levy grinned and looped her arm around Lucy's, tugging gently. "Come on, we need to make sure the guys haven't dropped the house yet."

Lucy nodded and waved a farewell to Cana, who was getting into an intense stare down with Bickslow.

The day was worthy of being described as 'perfect'. With the sun shining as warmly as it was on Levy's face, she was positive even a blind fairy could tell it was a beautiful day. As of yesterday the magnolia and cherry blossom trees had come into full bloom, and with the gorgeous cherry blooms casting a soft shade of pink against the magnolia's pure white petals, it was like the whole forest was blushing at the clear blue sky. Yes, spring had officially arrived in Magnolia.

Floating along the ground, Lucy and Levy soon found themselves in the middle of Magnolia's town square, where hundreds of fairies were going along their days. Many of them were venders who had set up shop among the many toadstools and rocks that surrounded the bare patch of earth that had become the town's center. Selling everything from honey cakes that made Levy's mouth water, to gorgeous flower dresses that Levy would give anything to have, except her precious book collection. Several carts were scattered amongst the crowd, drawn by mice and guided by fairies who rode on top of the carts, which had been filled with precious stones mined from Mt. Hakobe by dwarves. And overhead, birdhouses hung from every branch, all swaying gently in the breeze.

At the very center stood a grand statue of the town's savior, Mavis Vermillion. She stood on an old stone pedestal,which had been covered in moss over the decades, her hand extended out with a finger pointing forward and a determined expression carved into her gentle, childlike features. Her giant wings folded out behind her.

Her wings.

They were perfect.

They were much larger than any fairies, trailing down to her feet and reaching out far behind her. Shaped similar to that of an angel, but instead of feathers overlapping each other, it was waves of light. Somehow, to Levy's complete amazement, the stone had captured the wings incredibly. Individual layers woven together as if it were cloth not stone; giving off the illusion similar to the separate colors of a gorgeous sunset. The stone started out rather dark at her shoulders, and started to gradually get lighter until the tips were almost pure white.

The ponds that lay at her feet were teeming with minnows and koi. The rocks surrounding it were covered in pale green moss and decorated with dewdrops, and bright daffodils and dandelions sprouted out of every available patch of grass.

Mavis' story had always fascinated Levy. She had first heard it when she was very young from her great- uncle. He told her how Magnolia had been taken over by an evil goblin clan, that had starved the fairies and forced them into slavery. To guarantee that no fairy escaped they sliced their wings off and sent nightly patrols out since they couldn't leave the forest floor. Mavis had been hunting for an old stone that had been stolen from her own home, Tenroujima. When she discovered the cruelty the fairies were forced to face she unleashed an ancient spell that cleansed the entire forest; killing the goblins and, somehow, restoring every fairies' wings. With wings restored, the fairies were freed from the cruelty of the goblins and named Mavis their savior.

They stood there and admired the statue for just a little longer, neither wanting to peel their eyes away. It was only the thought of Natsu and Gray abandoning the house to start a brawl with each other that pulled them away. They flew over towards one of the cherry blossom trees and stared up to see Natsu and Gray waving down at them. They had hooked the top of the birdhouse onto a branch just a little ways from where Erza's deep crimson and Mira's peach birdhouses were hanging; they both were perched on the roof, eyes shut tight and grinning like idiots.

"We heard you two say you wanted the house over here. Um, it was here right?" Natsu scratched his head and glanced up to make sure it was near Erza and Mira's.

"I don't care if it's the right place, I'm never lifting a birdhouse as long as there's a breath in my lungs." Gray answered, leaning his chin into his palm.

"This is so perfect, guys, thank you!" Lucy squealed and fluttered up to the boys, wrapping her arms around their necks and pulling them into a bear hug. "Oh yeah, Levy!" she turned her head to yell down towards her friend. "Jet came by earlier! He said that he was sorry to interrupt the house preparations, but he and Droy were having a hard time with the deliveries and was wondering if you could come in!"

Levy gasped, how could she have forgotten about them! She should've known that they would need help this time of year. Both Jet and Droy were completely capable of running things on their own once in a while, but in the spring even all three of them were completely overwhelmed with the amount of packages that were sent in. Last year they'd been about two months behind all season, she'd had to call in all of her friends before they could finally catch up.

She flew up to the house and straight through the door. She took a brief moment to survey the disaster turnout of Natsu's antics: a flipped over table and bookcase, along with the entire cupboard emptying itself and milk getting everywhere milk can possibly get. She would let Lucy handle it, she decided, snatching her satchel off of her knocked over chair and taking off.

As she sped through the trees she glanced back just in time to see Lucy enter the house, and there probably wasn't a banshee alive who could pull off a scream such as one that Lucy had released.

"NATSU!"

First chapter is done! I didn't really describe all of the character's as well as I wanted to so here's a little more detail on what they look like. Basically all characters dress in leaves of flowers, or maybe fur; like I'd imagine Natsu wearing japanese striped-bark maple leaves, or Gray in some kind of gray rodent fur pants and no shirt. Levy would wear short dresses of light green leaves, oh and her wings are long and thin, and clear in color. I kind of imagine olive leaves for Bickslow, not very foresty I know but whenever I thought about his image it was always that. I really had a lot of trouble with his helmet because fairy's can't be around iron so I decided it would be a plastic toy he stole because fairy's supposedly steal things they like from children. Wow I blabbed, anyways please review!
