Hi!

I know that it's been a week but I have been writing. I was only allowed on my phone since we were on holiday in Thailand so I have a lot of material, I just need to sift through and edit it. I'll have Nico's chapter up soon and then it's the big finale!

So this is a request which I made as a apology for being gone so long due to personal circumstances and it's to a guest review (FirstMasterMavis) so this whole series is for you. I'm planning on doing one for every person in the Guild, even the background characters so wish me luck guys!

The Actual Request

Ooooh, I've dreamed about this moment!

Can I request a... Fairy Tail fanfiction. Maybe one with a lot of fluff and the guild as a whole? This is pretty open to interpretation. I love your writing so anything'll be good I'm sure ;D

But can they be like pretty short ones. Kind of like drabbles... Sorry for being so demanding, you can change any of this.

So, here we go!

Despite what many people thought Natsu didn't want to join the guild at first. The old man found him while he was fighting off a group of bandits and helped him take them out.

Of course at that point in his ability he probably would have passed out rather than defeat the bandits but the grandpa didn't have to know that.

When he was told about the guild he wasn't interested. He only wanted to find his father, in fact he only joined the guild for the idea that he could find Igneel. He had no intention of having a family amongst them. But as he found out, it was pretty hard to join Fairy Tail and not make friends. But he was just shocked at the concept of so many people who all cared for him. He was used to not having real friends, just Igneel. Everyone, or everything else was just food or enemy. But these people cared. They helped. When he was too weak to continue his search they motivated and helped him. Those who knew his goal kept an eye out for possible leads.

They helped him, they expected nothing return and after a month or so he realised why.

They were family. It was as simple and as beautifully complicated as that.

And he found that, quite unintentionally he had found a home amongst these crazy mages. So, after the month was over, he went up to the master and asked to officially become part of the guild. He hadn't exactly thought where he should keep the mark but it seemed obvious when asked.

On his shoulder, right at the spot where the old man had held him as he guided him into the guild. But it was more than that. It showed that he shouldered the responsibility of being a Fairy Tail wizard, for everything that meant. It meant that he would be strong, and face his enemies proudly, for his guild.

But more than that it said that he'd shoulder their burdens. He'd be strong for them. And if they ever fell, he'd shield them, the way they had for him.

Who needed blood after all, when you had the Guild by your side.

Again, this was a request for FirstMasterMavis (Guest Reviewer) and it was mainly open to interpretation. It' s a drabble series with a lot of fluffy bonding so I decided, what's sweeter than that guild-mark that binds them all together. I've just finished the Grand Magic Games arc but I love this series sooooo much. Please do let me know if you want to fangirl and even more if you know how to watch Dragon Cry, I saw the trailer and it looks awesome!

Love you all and see you soon with either the next drabble or Nico's chapter.
