I hope you all had a good christmas and got everything you wanted, I did..

Also, I'm feeling high, Incendium is one of my actual, like seriously, favourite stories ever and it's been updated. Do you even understand how much that means to me? I literally love it

I'd probably kms if I didn't have it

and Remedy! i love it

and Between the Lines, I love that too, but I'll be honest and just say that Incendium is probably my second favourite out of all the stories I've read (books irl and on here, wattpad, deviant, blah blah blah)

the first is Mythical Creatures, i could honestly go on about it for hours without breaks, I could read it over and over again. that's how great it is.

and Emotionless is one of my favourite stories :]

like I'm being legit, sorry if it seems unfair but honestly, I've read over at least 20 stories and sometimes it seems like only half of them appeal to me

but lets just talk about the recent chapters of the manga right now. IT'S BEEN AMAZING OMF

FUCKING NEWS THAT JUST RELEASED

WE (WELL SOME) FANS (SOME, AGAIN) GOT THE THEORIES ALL WRONG. LAYLA ISN'T A DRAGON (I THOUGHT I GOT IT RIGHT BUT OH WELL, I HAD THIS FEELING THAT IT WASN'T RIGHT LOOOOOL) BUT SHE SENT THE SEVEN DRAGONS SLAYERS INTO THE FUTURE.. SORTA. THOUGH IT DOESN'T SAY WHY IGNEEL AND THEM LOT DISAPPEARED ON X777, NOW I'M KINDA INTERESTED WHY THEY LEFT AND IF THEY ARE LINKED TO LAYLA ANYWAYS

btw this part may be a little short

so before I like explode from excitement, here's another part of Think Once, Think again my friends

enjoy~


(Normal POV):


The aftermath of such a battle was.. well, different. There was a sudden feeling of overwhelming, shared depression between the members of Fairy Tail.

With the amount of deaths and injuries, it was clear that they would need to start recruiting members again.

Mirajane suffered the loss of Elfman and Evergreen, so she was in the corner, silent. Thinking over the memories she made with her brother, and her friendly rival.

Master Makarov was totalling the amount of money he'd have to fork up to get the Guild fixed again, not that he really minded, considering this was war they just went through..

Everyone else was mourning over their dead friends, or helping lift the wounded to what was even left of the infirmary.

Lucy was watching over all of this, her eyes cold. Weird, she thought. Why is it that all I feel is emptiness?

Suddenly feeling hot, she blinked, black dots slowly filling her vision. Swaying on her feet, Lucy felt herself falling, and the last thing she heard was Levy's voice calling out to her.

When Lucy woke up, it was darker than usual. Maybe around six, seven in the evening?

She recognised where she was instantly. Her apartment.. and the Nymphs were surrounding her bed. Minato was sleeping beside her, weirdly enough.

She didn't feel her heart skip a beat when she looked at him, nor did she feel butterflies. Wow. Whatever happened during sex with Minato.. it wasn't her. She knows it wasn't.

"Good lord," Lucy groaned, rubbing her bleary eyes. "What happened?"

"You passed out, from overexertion." Flames replied, giving her a concerned glance. "Your magic levels dropped down to six percent, which is not even half of your magic amount. Ah, why do you always work so hard?"

"I was fighting all day.." Lucy murmured. "Wait, six percent? That's.. really low. And I had to fight with almost everything I had! I'll admit, on behalf of all the Guilds, Bladed Hearts gave us a run for our money. They were.. maybe as strong as Tartarus, if not a tad bit weaker."

"Yes, Hime," Waves said. "We worked hard to get it back up to it's normal level. Minato-kun used his Magic to help control your.. overactive Fire Magic."

"Is that why he's passed out beside me?" Lucy asked, quietly.

Flames nodded, then began waking the Ice Devil Slayer, by shaking his shoulder.

Minato stirred, groaning as he did wake up.

"L-Lucy!" He gasped, suddenly wide awake. "You're okay! That's a relief.."

"I'm fine, thank you for helping me recover." Lucy said, a soft smile on her face. I can't love you. "Flames, can you run me a bath?"

"Hai." Flames went into the Bathroom and turned on the hot tap, preparing a bath for his Queen. "Waves and I will be going out to get dinner.. what do you want?"

"I'll just have some special fried rice.. and noodles, thank you." Lucy replied.

"Stir fry for us two!" Aria and Elvira cheered, waving their hands in the air excitedly.

"I'll have the same as Lucy." Minato said.

Waves took all of the dinner down, in a notepad, then stepped outside of the door. Flames shortly followed after him, bidding farewell.

Aria and Elvira were the only ones left in the room, and Lucy had no idea what to say.

"Aria, will you wash my hair for me? My body aches, but I think the bath should do something to soothe my muscles." Lucy said.

"Yeah," Aria helped Lucy get up, and then, that was it.


(Lucy's POV):


I rested in the Bath, thinking over these past few days, years even.

Ah, everything went so.. complicated, the day Lisanna came back.

Bladed Hearts fought us.. I fought Natsu, Minerva, Lisanna.. I've had sex with a boy who I realised I don't love, I've become one of the strongest mages in Fiore.. before I was just your regular old Lucy. Celestial Mage.. curvy.. Fairy Tail mage.. a typical teenaged girl with far too many dreams to complete.

I feel bad, truthfully, because it was.. a (once) sealed away form that made me want to be with Minato. We didn't mate, we had sex, there's a small difference. One would be that he would have to put a mark on my neck, like a symbol of his element or his existence, and the second would be that it'd have to occur at least three days after the Dragon Mating Season began.

I smelt Elvira's scent on him, to be honest, when he laying beside me. I always wondered why she wanted him to take her out, in the first place.

"Aria.. they love each other, don't they?" I asked, with a smile.

".. If you want the truth.. Elvira was mad the day she found out you and Minato had sex. She cried and refused to leave her room for at least six hours.. but then he spoke to her, and everything was okay. They kissed and made up, that's how simple it was." Aria replied, in a quiet tone. "She was scared to tell you that she loved him because I mean- let's face it, you were both very compatible.."

"I love him, but only as a friend. That wasn't me, I'm telling you, who seduced Minato. I've seen him as a good friend since the start." I said, shrugging when Aria glared at me. "If he loved me then I'm flattered, but I don't see him in that way. I killed his childhood love without any consideration for the pleads of mercy she gave."

"Do you still have feelings for Natsu Dragneel, then?" Aria asked, suddenly. "You.. I know you, Lucy, you could love Minato in a romantic way if it wasn't for the lingering thoughts on your bond with Natsu."

"I could love Minato in a romantic way, you're right, but I'm not going to let myself do that. I'd rather let Elvira have her happiness, Nymphs only find love once in their lives." I replied, staring at my reflection in the clear bath water.

Aria sighed, continuing to wash my hair. Oh yeah, I forgot about how long it was. It's reaching my hips, the highlights haven't slowly faded, and it's in wonderful condition. Weird.

The Air Nymph then opened up the Bathroom door, squeaking in shock when Minato showed himself, his hand lifted up slightly to show that he was about to knock. Looking up at him, I smiled.

"Let's not fall in love, ne?" I said, sweetly.


(Minato's POV):


When Lucy said that to me, my heart swelled up. Did she know about Elvira and I? Or did she genuinely fall out of love with me.. if she was in love with me in the first place?

Smiling back at her, I nodded my head. "Un. Let's."

When I walked out of our bedroom, I saw Elvira leaning against her bedroom door, in one of my shirts.

I loved her. I loved her.

Of course, I will never forget what intimacy Lucy and I shared, because that was quite frankly magical, but I've loved Elvira for a long time.

"Does she know?" Elvira asked, her lime-green hip length hair swaying with each step she made closer to me. "I hope she isn't mad."

"No, I think she's happy for us. I don't think we, Lucy and I, had a future together.. anyway." I said, wrapping my arms around her. She giggled, resting her head against my chest. "If it's bothering you, maybe you should speak to her? Ever since Lucy and I had sex you've been avoiding her like the plague."

"Well, why wouldn't I? The person I liked had sex with my best friend. It's a bit weird." Elvira said, pouting. "I'll speak to her in a minute. I don't want to seem like a perv, walking in whilst she's bathing."

"I'm not bathing."

Jumping up, Elvira unlatched herself from, turning around in surprise. Lucy was standing by the lounge door, her arms folded against her chest. I gulped, hoping she didn't have an angered reaction to my relationship.

"I've said this way too much, really, but it wasn't me when Minato and I had sex. It was definitely one of my forms.. I don't seduce my friends, that's wrong. If you've liked each other from the start.. or whatever, then you should of got together, I mean, why was you even afraid of my reaction? I don't control you two. Do whatever you want. If it makes you happy, then I'm happy. I'm fine with it." Lucy said, rolling her eyes when Elvira ran into her arms. "You don't need to cry, baka."

I laughed, mouthing a "thank you" to Lucy.

We should have more people like her in the world.

More people who're accepting..


(Normal POV):


Some hours after the Drama at Lucy's home cleared, night drew nearer. Minato and Elvira were resting on the Couch, in front of the Lacrima TV, Flames and Lucy were cooking dinner, Waves and Aria were out back in the Pool- it was a perfect scene.

But the fact that they escaped war was still heavy in the air.. the amount of destruction caused was simply surreal, hitherto, part of Magnolia, Fiore, was once a beautiful country. But now.. it was a complete and utter wreck. The King and Princess of Fiore had already donated billions of jewels to get the place fixed up, as soon as possible too, because of the amount of Magnolian citizens that became homeless due to the fight.

Lucy sighed, sorting out the different sets of dinners out for her friends and room-mates. She sensed inevitable danger coming their way..

Suddenly, there was a flurry of knocking on the house door.

Putting down the stirring spoon, she walked over to the door. She pulled it open, and before she could even protest, handcuffs were snapped on her wrist.

"Lucy Heartfilia, you're hereby placed under arrest for the destruction of the Fairy Tail Guild, Magnolia, and the Beach. Whatever you have to say will be heard in court." A rune knight said, leading her out of the house. "You have been charged twenty five billion jewels for the offence."

Escorting Lucy out of her home, only one thought remained in her mind.

Surely, I'm not the only one being named responsible for a battle that included six Guilds against an enemy Guild.. right?
