A/N: WARNING! This story contains HUGE spoilers, do not read if you aren't caught up with the manga.
This story is actually finished, but some people may not think so. The thing is, though, that I'm that kind of writer who leaves some matters for the imagination of others. I might continue this if I have the chance, but I'm not the fan of rushing stories, so I'll have to sit down and think about this.
This is very short, but it's bugging me the entire weekend and I just had to write this down. I decided then that I wanted to share it with y'all.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this. I've never really written much from Levy's point of view, so that was kind of fun.
EDIT: A second chapter has been added. It doesn't continue from where it ends, it's building up to it. Enjoy!

Entering Limbo
"Are you sure you're ready to do this?" Lucy asked her blue-haired friend in concern and squeezed her shoulder gently from behind.
Levy snorted. Was she ever? Clenching her fists, the solid script mage turned her gaze towards her best friend and looked her directly in the eye. "I have no choice. You would have done the same if it had been Natsu," Levy said, determination written in her eyes.
Lucy nodded, avoiding Levy's direct gaze. "I know, but still…"
"Gajeel said to me I had to live his future. How on world am I going to do that if he is my future?"
A ghost of a smile appeared on Lucy's lips. "Promise you will return – with Gajeel."
"You bet I will."
Suddenly, another voice entered the conversation. "Mavis is almost ready with the enchantment," Panther Lily announced. "You're able to enter Limbo within a few minutes."
Levy gave a quick nod, gathered the few things she needed and headed to the exit.
The first thing she noticed when she entered the room, was the overwhelming magical power. Mavis sat in a small circle, eyes closed. The blonde headmaster whispered inaudible words, but it was a clear she was casting a powerful spell. Levy swallowed, fear for what was coming. Though, her determination overruled it all.
There were only a few which were informed about this mission. Levy looked to her right, and was faced with a pair of eyes, stricken with fear and concern. Next to her stood the proud fire dragon slayer, brother of Zeref. It was him who insisted on getting Gajeel back, but Levy refused. Natsu's energy was drained from his confrontation with his past, with his brother. Dark circles had appeared underneath his eyes, a sign he lacked sleeping. No, this was neither the place nor time for Natsu to return Gajeel. The war might have been over, but the war within Natsu was far from over.
Lily transformed into his larger version. "Gajeel is going to be pissed at me when he finds out I've sent you to this place."
Levy shook her head. "It was me who took this decision."
"It was me who promised Gajeel to take you back safe and sound to the guild."
"Which you have done," Master Makarov said as he entered the chamber. "Levy is a Fairy Tail member and also Gajeel's lover. We cannot stop her, even if we wanted to."
A small blush appeared on Levy's cheeks at Master's blunt statement.
"I'll bring a fish for you and Gajeel once you return," Happy said in a slight sad voice. "Just… Return, you know."
"Thank you, Happy," Levy said to the blue exceed with a grateful smile, stroking his chin quickly. Happy purred in reply.
"Make you sure you slap metal face hard. How dare he leave us…" Natsu growled. "Natsu!" Lucy hissed and slapped him on the back of his head. "I'm sorry for his lack of common sense," Lucy snorted. The solid script mage closed her eyes and shook her head. "I was planning on doing that anyway," Levy said. "Told ya," Natsu said with a smug face.
Mavis suddenly stopped talking and she opened her eyes. Levy had to blink a few times to fight the brightness, radiating from her eyes. The light slowly faded. "It's been done," Mavis informed.
A giant black hole that served as a portal appeared behind the First Master.
"Remember: you have less than an hour to find him. If you fail, you're stuck in Limbo as well. Once you see him, put the bracelet I've given you round his wrist, cast the spell and get the hell back here."
"Yes, I will," Levy said.
"Repeat it."
"See, bracelet, spell and get the hell back," Levy muttered to nobody in particular.
"Now… go," Mavis ordered.
Hold on, Gajeel. I'm coming.
Without a single glance, Levy entered Limbo.
