Hey guys! Welcome to Jet-cut Steel and Iron Umbrellas! This is actually my first FT fanfic, which is weird to say considering I've been writing them for years but I've never posted one. Well, there's a first time for everything! I've been obsessed with Gajeel being an older-brother figure to Juvia for a while, and since Corrose (check her out!) has already posted the perfect Gajeel/Levy (FT OTP!) story collection (Ironbound Paperbacks) I decided to dedicate an entire collection to just these two. I'll update it whenever I get inspiration! Yeah!

All rights for the incredible anime/manga Fairy Tail goes to Hiro Mashima!

It was on a sour, rainy day when he first saw her. At the time Gajeel himself was fairly new to the guild, but he had already gained a lofty reputation. And an empty table. Which was fine by him. But the flies that frequently inhabited Jose's palace seemed to travel in swarms, which was why it was surprising to see her so alone.

Yet there she was, huddled in a corner, working away at some kind of creepy-looking doll. Gajeel stared at her for a while, and then grabbed a passing mage. He almost laughed at the shaking man, but instead he jerked his head towards the corner. "Who's she?"

The trembling man swallowed. "Oh... h-her, G-g-gajeel sama? S-she's new. We c-call her t-th-the Rain Woman." Gajeel grunted and let go, allowing the terrified mage to scramble away.

Rain woman... What the hella kind of name is that?

Please review! ;D
