Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail. I also forgot to mention this. I also posted this on AO3. Any character that is not in the anime or manga are my own original characters. If anyone wants to use them in their stories, please let me know or give me a shout-out. I would gratefully appreciate it.
AN: SORRY! Not an update, but please read. Thank you for all the comments and support. It really meant a lot to me. So getting straight to the point. I have a couple of ideas for Lalu stories and I wanted your guy's opinion on which ones I should write and if they are good ideas. Or if I should make them an one-shot or an actual story because I have another story dedicated to Lalu one-shots. I apologize if some people had these ideas already and wrote them. I probably haven't read them myself, or this is my interpretation. I will delete this after my next update on this story.
1). DEFENSORES AUTEM LUX. It is Latin for Defenders of Light. I'm not sure to leave the title in English or Latin. I'm still figuring this one out because it can go in a lot of directions, but I have thought up some OCs already. I was thinking of writing this in the current timeline set after the GMG, with a lot of flashbacks set in Lucy's perspective, which is the 7 years the key members went missing. I know that an author by the name of Desna created the Pradesh verse who are Bickslow's siblings that are based in Bosco, but I haven't read those stories at all, only heard of them, so I'm not including them. It will be Laxus x Lucy with Bickslow x OC story. I have nothing written for this yet.
Summary: What if Natsu never saved Lucy from the boat in Hargeon. She gets sold as a slave in Bosco. While imprisoned by her capturers, she develops a hatred for Fairy Tail members (because Bora said he was one). When she gets rescued and flees from her captors, she heads back to Fiore with her saviors. She joins their group called Defenders of Light who are a group of vigilantes who take the law into their own hands and deliver their own justice. A client hires Laxus and The Thunder Legion to bring his adopted daughter back, who was kidnapped by this group. During their mission they find out more about Fiore's corrupt side and wonder who the actual villain is and if they are fighting on the right side.
2). PUPPET MASTER: This is set after the Alvarez Arc. Laxus x Lucy as well. I wanted to showcase some of Lucy's singing skills she may have learned as a lady. I have some dialogue written about this. Summary for this is a little meh.
Summary: Fairy Tail has decided to do a talent show fundraiser and donate the proceeds to the local orphanage. It requires all members to take part. Somehow Laxus got roped into an act with Lucy. The time they spend together practicing brings them closer and closer to each other. Lucy's very realistic fairy doll act was successful and garnered a lot of attention. Good and bad. When Lucy is abducted by someone with questionable intentions, can Laxus save his princess in time before she is turned into a doll forever?
Here's some dialogue I wrote so far:
Lucy opened up to Laxus about why this performance means so much to her. She said softly, "I remember watching this performance when I was a young girl. My parents took me to the opera to see the Tales of Hoffman. At that moment, I really thought the singer was a real doll. They were so amused about it." Lucy giggled as she fondly remembered the old days. The times when Layla Heartfillia was alive and her family was happy. She continued, "I begged my parents to get me a doll that looked just like her and for my next birthday they did. I never felt so happy. I named her Gonzales and declared her my little sister. We did everything together. But then…," she trailed off with a faraway look in her eyes.
"Then what," asked Laxus inquisitively. This was probably the first time they actually opened up to each other. They never really had an opportunity to talk to each other.
"But then my mother passed away," Lucy said with a wistful look in her eyes. "After that, I couldn't bear to look at it. It brought me too many painful memories, and they put it away in storage. And well, you know the rest of the story with the Starry Heavens thing. Michelle, my relative was really my childhood doll brought to life." Lucy scoffed and let out a dry laugh. "And you know what her wish was?" She looked at Laxus with unshed tears and pain in her eyes. "For us to be together again. Like the old days. I never regretted something so much in my life," she said as she buried her face in her hands with a choked sob.
Laxus looked like a deer caught in headlights. He frantically looked around to make sure no one was looking and panicked. He didn't know how to handle crying girls. Particularly pretty crying girls. He gave her soft awkward pats on the back as a way to comfort her, hoping it would work. He guessed it did because she stopped shaking.
Lucy wretched her hands away from her face and faced Laxus with determination in her eyes. "Which is why we must make this performance successful and give it our all," she said with her fist clenched. Laxus could see the fire blazing in her eyes. "I know these kids have little, and they do not get a lot of opportunities to indulge in things like toys. I want to be the doll for all of them and in the future they can look back fondly on this experience as I did," she finished with a soft smile.
Laxus gave a tiny smile back. He was impressed. He had to admit what Lucy was doing was very kind and few people would give something like this a lot of thought. If she was going to do her best, he would have to do the same as well. "I guess I'll have to be the best Savoiardi there is." He winced at his horrible pronunciation of the name. He hoped he got the name of the inventor correct.
Lucy shook her head incredulously at his mispronunciation of the name. "Spallanzani," she corrected him and laughed. "Oh, you are so lucky you don't have any lines," she said, trying to stop her laughter when she saw his cheeks turn pink in embarrassment.
3). WHO NEEDS A PRINCE WHEN YOU HAVE A DRAGON? Or THE FAIRY TAIL TRAP. Still deciding between those two titles. I know there are a lot of Fairy Tail fairy tales stories, but I don't think there's one with Laxus and Lucy, is there? Also set after the Alvarez Empire. I will base it on the Disney versions.
Summary: The whole guild decides to trap Laxus and Lucy into Asuka's book of fairy tales, that Lucy gifted her, so they can realize their feelings for each other. The only way they can get out is if they complete each story (with a kiss). (Special guest appearance by other guild members and celestial spirits.)
Here is a little sneak peek for Little Red Riding Hood, or in this case Little Lucy Riding Hood:
"Guess we better follow the story," she said and knocked on the door.
A muffled "come in" came from the other side of the door.
Lucy looked at Laxus and did something she assumed was a shrug. She slowly opened the door.
"Ummm Grandma. I bought a basket of goodies," she said, entering the dark room. She could outline a figure on the bed and quickly deduced it was Grandma. She and Laxus moved closer to the bed.
"Just put it down," a high-pitched voice called out from the bed. "Come closer so that I can see your beautiful face."
Lucy was apprehensive about moving forward, even though Laxus the wolf was next to her. It was because the wolf was next to her made her worry. The wolf was supposed to be pretending to be Grandma, but he was next to her. Which begged the question, who was Grandma? Also, there was something familiar about the voice. Specifically, the way the person was speaking.
She signaled to Laxus to watch out, and he nodded as they advanced further towards the bed. Lucy continued to play along. "Are you unwell, Grandma? Your voice sounds strange."
The sound of coughing that obviously sounded fake echoed through the room, and Lucy couldn't help but deadpan. Grandma continued in a hoarse tone, "Yes, I just have a little cold." More sounds of coughing emerged to prove Grandma's point. "Why don't you be a dear and take the medicine from my bedside table and give it to me using mouth to mouth?"
Lucy froze, her eyes wide open at what she just heard. She was pretty sure Grandma just told her to give her medicine via a kiss. Lucy concentrated on the figure and recognized the familiar magic signature. She should recognize it because it comes from her. Lucy marched to the window and opened the curtains, letting light shine into the room, revealing the face of 'Grandma'.
Lucy glared at 'Grandma'. "Seriously Loke," Lucy deadpanned while Laxus let out a bark of laughter. Loke looked absolutely ridiculous with his circle glasses, to the curly white hair, to the sleeping hat and his sleeping clothes. "You're Grandma?"
"Ah, Lucy, my love. Fate has not been kind to us. I was hoping to pick the hunter so that I may save you like the knight in shining armor that I am." Laxus growled at Loke's pathetic attempts at flirting but he ignored him and continued with a dramatic display of his hand on his forehead. "But the odds were against me and I picked out Grandma."
Loke suddenly smirked. "However, it does not mean that I can't show you some love." He gestured to his lap and opened his arms wide. "Come, Lucy, and jump into my lap. Let me show you my appreciation."
Laxus snarled at Loke, baring his teeth out. He saw how Lucy looked all creeped out at the nonsense he was spewing at of his mouth. He was about to leap forward to give him a brief lesson when suddenly the window glass shattered and out came a familiar hulking figure.
"It's manly to save girls in red cloaks and defenseless old ladies," shouted Elfman as he waved his axe around. Elfman was wearing the full lumberjack ensemble, from the signature flannel shirt to the heavy boots and axe.
Loke jumped up from his spot from the bed and tore off his wig and glasses. He glared and pointed his finger at Elfman. "You brute! You ruined everything! Lucy was about to jump into my arms and we were going to make sweet love in this bed when you interrupted us." He took on a fighting stance as his rings and arms glowed brightly with the power of Regulus.
4). I don't have a story title for this yet. Alexei will be 10 months old. Also set after Alvarez. Laxus x Lucy.
Summary: Laxus wakes up to see Mest and Lahar at his door. His father has been permanently captured and put in jail for life. He finds out that he's an older brother to a boy named Alexei. The mother wants nothing to do with him, so responsibility falls on him and Makarov to take of him. If they don't want him, he will be sent to an orphanage where someone will eventually adopt him or he will be sent into foster care. Laxus agrees to take care of him because he won't abandon his little brother like his father did to his family. However, Laxus doesn't know the first thing about taking care of a baby. Luckily, the whole guild is here to help; some with excellent results, others with disastrous results. He specifically gets a lot of help from a certain celestial mage.
So tell me what you think of these. I don't have a specific order of which ones I will start and update. It will be random. Whatever comes to my brain.
