So. Because I write way too many BixLu one-shots for my own good, I thought it would be a somewhat good idea to start putting some of them in a collection to keep things a little organised. This won't apply to my already published ones on here, but for most of my upcoming ones, they'll be getting added to this.
For the most part, these will be rated T. For now, it will remain as T, but eventually, the M rating will be put in place for a very good reason. I'll put warnings and ratings in each particular chapter as well, so please make sure to read them before the actual chapter. So basically, if a story is rated M and contains actual smut/lemon (or anything else even), I will mention that it does at the beginning, and if you don't like reading that, you will know what the story has in it so you can not read it!
Anyway. To make things even easier, I'm going to have this first chapter set up as contents page, just so you don't have to keep clicking through all the chapters to find something you want to read. Summaries will be added here as well as in the actual story, just for those who feel like binge reading or something.
As usual, if you have any suggestions (for anything, really), feel free to share them. Whether it's just about what gets posted in this collection, or maybe even a story. I don't mind either. And with that being said, I hope you enjoy whatever you find in here!
Quick edit: Big thank you to Yorusorra for the new title!

CONTENTS
**Note: Characters will only be included/listed if they are of actual importance to the plot or appear for more than just a few lines of dialogue. I'd be listing half the characters in Fairy Tail otherwise.**
Chapter 2: Sunshine
Bickslow finds himself having to face the truth when he comes to be stuck between two women. One of them is the one he thought he loved, but the other, Bickslow is slowly coming to realise is the one he's loved all along.
Characters: Bickslow, Lucy, Flare
Rating: T
Chapter 3: Wedding Date
Bickslow really needs a wedding date. The only problem is that he has no idea who to ask, and he's running out of time to find someone to take. Desperate to not go stag (and face the wrath of one of the brides), he asks Lucy: the girl who always orders coffee from him at two in the morning.
Rating:T (It probably should be M for some adult references but... This is pretty tame.)
Chapter 4: Blue Club
The story of the First Club War, and all of its casualties. Pettiness ensues.
Rating: T
Chapter 5: The Sexy Teddy (Drabble)
Tumblr request: "Why is the Teddy Bear wearing your sexy underwear in the bathtub?"
Rating: T
Chapter 6: Small Fish (Drabble)
Tumblr request: "Damn auto-correct."
Rating: T
Chapter 7: Asked and Answered
Bickslow needs to work on his word choice when he's asking Lucy to get him something to eat, especially if he wants to avoid her thinking he's actually proposing.
Rating: K+
Chapter 8: Love Thy Family
Even after a decade of marriage, Bickslow's parents-in-law are still trying to set Lucy up with someone else.
Rating: T
Chapter 9: Strangers
With the kids gone for the night, Lucy makes the most of the opportunity and plans a romantic evening with someone she hasn't seen in far too long.
Rating: M
Chapter 10: Baby Fever
Practically everyone is getting knocked up and getting started on building their families. Everyone except Lucy, that is. And Bickslow can't help but worry that they'll be next - and that, he is definitely not ready for.
Rating: T
Chapter 11: To Build a Bridge
A child is not something you keep from someone you love, and Bickslow learns that the hard way. And when Lucy finds out the wrong way and jumps to the wrong conclusion, everything comes crashing down. And Bickslow is left trying to mend what's left before it's completely over.
Rating: T
Chapter 12: Moonlight (Sequel to Sunshine)
The beginning was easy. It was just everything else that was hard. Between Flare coming back into his life (and not in the way he expected), moving across the country and figuring out long-distance relationships, and then just figuring out just where it was they were going with each other, Bickslow and Lucy find themselves struggling for a little while.
Rating: T
Chapter 13: Clumsy
She's the pretty violinist, and he's the confident cellist. And the next time Lucy trips over his damn cello, she's probably going to actually break it. [Inspired by Mozart in the Jungle.]
