Hello Bitches!
We are finally doing this! After three months or something like that we are finally delving into Trails Of Ice.
(Or better known as TOI.)
Now before we begin I would like to point out that this story will take a LONG ASS TIME to complete. The reason for that is that the story follows canon by a fair margin and the story needs the canon to actually drive itself forward.
In fact whilst I write this story I am looking at the many arcs from canon and the arcs I put in myself, which are mostly little 'mini arcs'. I have some arcs that are full blown story arcs but they are few and far between.
If you guys really want me too I can write down all of the arcs I have written down right now… But they could be switched or other arcs can and most likely will be added in during this stories development.
Basically, I am out of my league and I love every second of it XD.
So remember that if you want to see the arcs let me know via PM or REVIEW…
But I have kept you long enough.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own FT as you should know by now… Nor do I own 'This is gospel' by Panic! At the disco either!
Oh and I will only put the disclaimer up this once so remember that.
LETS READ!

Mini arc one: Exposure
(3 months later)
Gray quickly rushed behind his make-shift wall of snow as he avoided yet another snowball thrown by Jade, who had instantly hid behind hers to stop his own snowball from connecting with her head.
He grinned tiredly, this was the life! As he let out a tired breath he couldn't help but think how everything he needed was here, his town despite the massive amount of hate he and his family seem to get, his family and most importantly his best friend. He honestly could say that he would've got bitter and hateful towards the many horrible people in the town if she had never become his friend that day in the school playground.
He was only five years old then and she had only turned five, he was a very anti-social boy back then and he would just glare at those who even came near him.
But she just gave him a bright, childish smile before sitting next to him and annoying him for the many years to come.
In short, she annoyed him into becoming her friend…
Not that he was complaining of course, he was smart enough to know that he would've gone down a bad path in his life if she hadn't inadvertently intervened.
Hurling one more snowball at her, he looked over towards Jades snow wall, his head just peaking over the top of his own. He wanted to see where she was or if she was trying something.
His eyes sweeped over the land and he smirked evilly as he saw her hiding poorly behind a wooden table five feet from her snow wall.
"Ya give up yet!?" He shouted.
"You wish snowflake!"
His hand quickly met his forehead at the nickname, who called someone snowflake? He couldn't let her get away with this of course.
He gave her the bird, something they did when their parents weren't around to tell them off. "Ok that's it! You're gonna get it!"
With that said, he darted over his snow wall and sprinted towards Jades wooden table, both of his hands holding one snowball each as he jumped onto the top of the table and slid to her side as he threw both of his snowballs straight at her face.
The fact that they both connected made it look even more awesome…
Jade let out a cute yelp as the cold balls of snow hit her face suddenly, she spent a minute getting the the snow out of her hair and face whilst letting her face heat up to its normal temperature again as she looked over towards Gray who was doubled over in laughter.
He wasn't paying attention. Jade grinned deviously at his oblivious shaking form as she charged at him, he noticed too late as his eyes widened as he shrieked in terror.
"BUNDLE!"
That was what he heard from her before he was tackled to the ground, he struggled to get Jade off as he was tired from the snow war they had just had for the last few hours. Jade may be slightly skinnier than most but she definitely had strength when it counted.
As he had found out…
Jade gave him a teasing grin as she squealed right in his ear. "I WIN!"
The high pitch noise in his ear had startled him into giving out his own high pitched shriek of his own which had the same effect on Jade as hers did him.
His girly scream scared her enough for her to fall off of him and land next to him as the shock wore off.
Then she started giggling. He looked over at her in confusion, what was so funny?
"Grayson screams like girl!" She sang when she saw his confusion. Which made Gray go red in the face before he shouted.
"I don't scream like a girl! S-Shut up!"
She giggled. "Yes you do!" Before she took off back to Grays house for refuge.
He caught on to early and once again caught up to her before she got to the door again. Gray smirked at her desperate struggling before he decided to rub in the victory. "I win, again!" He laughed in her face before she caught him off guard.
Then something happened...
He felt her arms wrap around him as she buried her head into his chest. He was surprised to say the least. He was also slightly embarrassed, they were just outside his door and his father could open the door at any time.
"H-Hey! What're you doing?" He stuttered out.
"Im hugging you silly. You're my best friend ever remember?" She answered quietly. He was stumped, of course they were best friends! They did almost everything together, but never before has she hugged him for anything. What was going on!?
He pondered on what she was doing and why she was doing it when she let go of him and stepped away from him, her face tinted red slightly.
"S-See ya tomorrow Gray!" She said before she ran off towards her house. Leaving him baffled as he watched her disappear from his field of vision.
What just actually happened?…
"GRAY!" Gray jumped out of his skin as a loud voice let loose in his ear for the second time that day. He landed face first in the snow as he heard the familiar roars of laughter from who he instantly knew was his father.
His asshole father who he loved lots, but he was still an asshole.
Silvers laughter died down as he helped his son up. He placed a hand on the boys shoulder chuckled as Gray gave his father a light glare. Even though he was the boys father he may as well be younger than his son mentally most of the time.
"How was your day Gray?" He asked, smiling as he watched Gray try and burn a hole through his head.
"It was fine Father..." His answer was not very satisfying as Silver frowned slightly.
"Okay, let us try again, 'How was your day Grayson?'"
Rolling his eyes, the younger Fullbuster replied by giving him the tale of his and Jades little snowball war (He lied a little by saying he won effortlessly), Before that his little musical project and how finally how Jade did something weird before he showed up.
Silver internally grinned, that girl had such a big crush it wasn't even funny sometimes. But he would joke with her parents about it later but until then he asked Gray what instrument he used this time to which he replied by saying that he used his acoustic guitar.
Silver then pointed out Grays little lie and he blushed in anger from his fathers effortless deduction, which he enjoyed a bit too much for his sons liking.
"Ok whatever father, I am going to play the piano now. Seeya!" He darted off before his father could even reply, much too Silvers chagrin. Charging upstairs and into his room before closing the door to keep out the echo.
His father just grinned. He knew how much Gray enjoyed his music, he had paid for lessons when Gray had asked him for the millionth time if he could learn and when he finally caved it was remembered little Gray looking like he had won the grand magic games.
'speaking of which' He thought suddenly. 'I wonder when the studio will broadcast the fight between Aaron Sidewinder and Haku Tekani?'
With that thought he walked over to his Lacrima and activated it to check, he was greatly pleased when he saw that the fight was now being broadcast. He sat down on the sofa watched with Great interest as Haku was blasted away by Aaron's Kinesis magic.
:::-((x))-:::
"The fear, the fear of falling apart.
The fear of falling apart..."
It was one of the few times Gray had decided to sing along with the music instead of just creating the music and letting it just be a musical piece without the added oomph.
His long fingers swept across the keys as if they were just repeating a routine they had remembered long ago as he finished the song.
Maybe he should learn how to use the drums next…
He let that thought cross his mind as he grinned excitedly, he remembered hearing about a multi-loop lacrima that he could use for some pretty interesting pieces. His voice may not be the best but he knew that it was pretty good, just rough around the edges.
But the song he was just ending was something close to his heart. He himself didn't know what it really meant but he guessed that people would have different interpretations.
But he had made the song to help himself get over the death of his Grandparents. They had died two years ago when he was five years old. Their deaths had hit both him and his father hard when they were told of the unfortunate event and when Gray had learned how to use the piano the first song he made was this. He found out that it helped him and his father when Silver had pointed out the message the song sent.
Letting go of your sorrow and getting on with the life you have…
He let out a tired breath and looked at his bed, the sheets were unkempt but they almost looked inviting, it was inviting enough however for Gray to succumb to his fatigue as he walked slowly to his closet, removing his black gear (vest cargo's and steel toed boots etc.) in trade for his dark grey pyjama bottoms, he didn't put on the top part as he hated the clinging fabric hugging him whilst he tried to sleep.
Sighing in relief from the loose fitting bottoms instead of the slightly restrictive cargo's (He didn't want to wear his special made ones.) he walked slowly towards his bed and climbed onto the top of it and as soon as his head hit the pillow he fell straight to sleep, without the covers over him.
But then again, he was an ice based mage… He didn't need covers.
His dreams were of what tomorrow would see him doing.
However, little did he know that tomorrow would never come for Brago… He just dreamed up whatever his young mind could, oblivious to what was coming.
:::-((x))-:::
Silver had just watched the best fucking match in the world!
He was so happy that Haku had beaten Aaron, but he was excited about how he went about it. Haku Tekani was a wind mage that used tactics and his brain to win fights other than her pure brawn, which was also impressive.
The wind mage had been entered into the Grand magic games against Aaron who used some form of fire magic, naturally he was winning as he had also used kinesis magic too to keep Haku away from him and he gradually increased the temperature around her.
Haku must've known that her magic would be inefficient against his so what she had done was very clever. Haku had stalled Aaron at every opportunity she had and why she was stalling him was because she was slowly making a massive ball of crushing air above the fire mage. The air would end up knocking him out before he could destroy the oxygen in the ball.
That was what happened exactly…
And the older devil slayer was pumped that he had won the bet against Jades father…
But before he could activate his communication lacrima to shout down the other end to Barton (Jades dad) that he won loudly, bellowing roar pierced the air harshly, Silver dropped the lacrima and looked out of his window and he paled at what he saw.
One of the nine demons of Zeref.
Deliora…
:::-((x))-:::
So are you pumped?
I thought not… -_-
Remember this will take a LONG ASS time to complete so strap in.
Also after I write a few more chapters I will start writing the side story, one of many I should say.
TRIVIA TIME!
1: Do you prefer the anime or manga version of shows?
I like the anime more, even though it means Gray gets dicked over. But I just refer to my choice from fairy tail so chose whatever you like. :)
2: What is your favourite hobby?
I like complaining and writing these things.
3: Can I ask you a question?
I cannot sorry, but I can too! Ohh mind blown!
By the way, RANT TIME!
Episode 81 season 2 of Fairy tail…
You cannot say that the studio and Mashima like Gray after this bloody chapter. That was Grays moment and they took it away from him and gave it to laxus. We get it! Laxus is super strong and can take a beating but we honestly didn't need this fight! It wasn't done well and was pretty boring to watch, Laxus was turned momentarily into a blonde Natsu!
Mashima did say that he wanted this before but surely he saw how well the fandom took it when they saw Gray get SOME spotlight to showcase his new power before the big fight! But No! Yet again Gray gets dicked over for a character that barely shows for a few seconds every 6 to 10 episodes! Sure laxus is cool, but he honestly didn't need this rematch, he won last time as Tempesta cheated to hurt him!
I wouldn't be surprised if Mashima takes away Grays finishing blow in trade for Natsu doing it! He has taken away plenty of other Gray spotlight moments so he may as well go ll the way!
It is bad enough that he might pair him up with Juvia, but to make him look less than he is is just asking for fans to under-estimate him!
Am I the only won annoyed about this!?
Overall, dick move Mashima! Dick move!
RANT TIME OVER!
Thanks for reading.
Stay cool,
