AN: I love music. I thought Gajeel would too. This is an all new Gajevy story. It's going to be a little different than my last one. I will have added an artist list and songs they do that are similar to what I believe Gajeel's band would be into. If you haven't already, check out my other Gajevy multi-chapter stories, Fighting Redfox and What About Now. I have Gajevy one shots as well.

Storyline: [AU] "Black Dragon Realm" (BDR) is hot on the up and coming list - and they're coming to your city! Gajeel and his bandmates have struck gold on a record deal and their manager sets the sails. When a band member decides to leave for good, they fear they may have to pull on the plug on their new-found dreams. None of them ever expected just who would save their metal-rocking music careers.

*Rated Mature - There is strong use of language, drug usage, minor violence, some sexual situations, and a lot of humor. Reader discretion is advised.

*Credit is due to JadeOccelot for helping me plan.

*I do not own any of the pictures or other media.

*I do not own any of Fairy Tail - that's all Hiro Mashima.


EVERYTHING AS PLANNED (ALL ALONG)

A Gajevy Fanfiction

By CapAleran2

This story starts with the next chapter. Please see below for an idea of the band's sound. I strongly recommend listening to the songs under || SET LISTS || at least, as those are the songs the band performs for an audience.


You can find all of these on my Spotify playlist. I have playlists on there for my multichapter fics (Andycap) if you're on there, or you could find them on youtube.

What "Black Dragon Realm" sounds like is a combination of all of the below artists and songs in some way or another. I will update this and may add songs/artists as I write. There is a setlist I will post here as well for each time they go on stage at different venues.

*For the sake of the story, I will have them sing these songs (and whatever else I may add to it) as if they were their own. It would take too long for me to come up with original songs for this. The below songs belong to the artists listed.

"Black Dragon Realm" (BDR) is:

Manager - Levy McGarden

Clean vocals/Guitar - Laxus Dreyar

Guitar/Dirty vocals - Gray Fullbuster

Guitar - Sting Eucliffe

Bass/Keyboard - Natsu Dragneel

Percussion - Gajeel Redfox
