A/N: Hey Guys! I know I said I was going to do a singing fic, but I decided this one was poking at me a bit more. Anyway, I have recently been poking around the anime Fairy Tail. I'm that weird guy who likes to pair people who would probably never get together in the actual show. If you have any suggestions I will probably use them. I don't have anything to say anymore. Btw, this story doesn't include the explosion of the magic council for obvious reasons.
Title: A Peace Of Marriage
Pairings/Ships: Zeref x Gray, minor pairings may come later
Summary: In order to stop the war with Tartaros, The magic council will offer up a wizard to marry Zeref, the only person who can calm the demons down. What happens when that wizard just happens to be our favorite ice mage, Gray?
Warnings: This story will go slow at times, and very fast at times. Rated T just to be safe.

"Are you sure they are that much of a threat?" Asked a random voice at the side of a big table.
"This is a guild full of demons we're talking about, of course they are!" The person at the head of the table shouted, quite annoyed. "How shall we approach this problem?" Another person seated at the table voiced. "Well, we could contact them?" said another. "How would we do that?" Asked the now very annoyed Chairman.
Just then, the communication lacrima in the middle of the table glowed a very bright light, and a small screen popped up. On the screen appeared about 9 people with unusual appearances. The most usual person being a guy in armor with a sign that said 'sub zerø' on it. A chilling voice spoke "Hello Council of the wizards, my name is Kyoka, I am one of the Nine Demon Gates of Tartaros." The demon who had a bird-like appearance spoke. "We were created by Zeref, the great black mage."
The Chairman was the first to regain his senses. "How did you get our contact line? Not even the best hackers can do that!" The she-demon who called herself Kyoka chuckled in response. "That is a secret, but back to the point. We have heard many rumors about how you are afraid of our guild." Suddenly a new voice spoke up, one more calm and settled. "Please Kyoka, I will take it from here." Within a few seconds, the magic council saw someone with black hair on the screen.
"Hello, I'm Zeref." He paused for the gasps of the magic council. "I noticed how you were worried about my demons attacking you and the other wizards." Zeref said rather calmly. "So, I propose a deal for you." "Why would we do business with the likes of you!?" "Because if you don't, this world could come to an end for you wizards." The Chairman sat down and rubbed his temples, seeing how he had no choice but to comply. "Fine. What is your deal?" Zeref smiled. "Well, it's pretty simple; offer me a powerful spouse, preferably with the power of ice, and I will call off my demons." "If that is it, then fine." "Good. I will expect that you have them two days from now."
Then the screen disappeared. Their was silence for a few seconds, before the Chairman called the magic council's servants and minor officials. "Round up every ice mage in Fiore, we need to decide quickly." With a simple nod, everyone was on their way to find a suitable spouse for the dark mage.
A few hours later-
It was a normal day in Fairy Tail. Everyone was laughing and drinking with the occasional fights here and there. Mirajane was serving out the drinks, per usual, and everything was normal. That is, until a frog from the magic council burst into the guild hall. Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the sudden intrusion, and a hush fell over the guild. Makarov slid down from where he was seated at the bar and went over to greet the frog.
"Erm, hello. What can I do for you?"
"Mr. Gray Fullbuster has been asked to go to the magic council immediately for special reasons." Everyone in the guild turned their attention onto the before mentioned mage, who blinked in surprise. "Um, okay..." He hesitantly got up and strode over to the waiting frog, throwing a uncertain glance back at his guildmates before exiting the building. And then, the two were on their way.
Back at the magic council HQ-
"Okay Chairman, we have gathered every registered ice magic in Fiore."
"Excellent."
In total, there were about 10 ice mages. "You still haven't told us why we're here." One of the ice mages asked, voicing what the others were thinking. "Well, you are all here for an act of peace." Gray glared suspiciously, his guild have more experience with the council. "What 'act of peace'?" He asked, a few of his fellow mage's nodding in agreement. "One of you will be wed to the great dark mage Zeref." All the mages fell to the floor in a classic anime sweatdrop. "Zeref himself is here to pick. He asked that you all demonstrate your power on this Magic Power Finder." After a long course of 10 minutes, all the ice mages had gone. The leader board was:
Gray Fullbuster: 5093
Lyon Vastia: 5092
(OCs below though more like random names)
Felix Kita: 3097
Hino Yagami: 892
James Uzumaki: 789
Kaben Himi: 495
Ronald Aikawa: 231
Jake Kirishima: 124
Gabe Yukimura: 120
Carter Suzukaze: 102
"While power does matter," mused Zeref, "looks do as well." His eyes swept over the people gathered, taking in their appearances. He finally pointed at one dark-blue haired mage. The mage, who was Gray. "I choose that one." Gray, being the person in question, fainted on the spot.
