Fairy Tail AU Idea
-female Natsu paired with Gajeel
-the dragon slayers are able to turn into dragon hybrids...only during certain times(like mating season) they grow tails and wings and scales that are the same color as their hair(which somewhat connects to their element) they also have slightly pointy ears with scales on those as well and the retain their sharp k9 like teeth
-for girls the scales cover their body similar to mirajane's Satan soul outfits(the red for Natsu and the blue stripped for Wendy[since she is younger?])
-the male scales cover their shoulders(blades) arms/legs and jaw/cheeks and their sides
{kind of like this: art/Natsu-Dragon-Force-352118153 }
-so basically the same for both just that the females have their breast covered along with their privates, the males privates aren't really covered in scales.
-There is a temple that the slayers must go to when they go into heat (which happens when they have physically matured and are with their mate)
- also periodically when the female is ovulating she will go into a minor heat where her mate can't really resist her and the urge to procreate. Though it is possible
-the temple heat is normally the first one after meeting the mate (and having the inner dragons and then the human part recognize what the other is to them)[though the male does have to go through a wooing/courting process]but isn't always since the slayers can put the mating instincts on the back burner so to speak, but doing so makes it so that when they finally cave in a baby will normally be the outcome
-the courting normally consist of the male trying to impress the female with their strength and skills as a provider for her and future hatchlings. Normally the male will make something from his element as a gift, which in a way acts as the engagement ring, if the female accepts then she will wear it to show her agreement. The 'wedding ring' occurs during the first 'mating' normally a heat induced one since after the gift is accepted that is normally when instincts will start kicking in if they haven't already. The ring is a bite that is normally placed on the juncture between neck and shoulder. The males places his first as the dominate and then the female will place hers in the same spot (since heat sex normally occurs doggy style its normally one ring at a time though in some cases they can be placed at the same time)
-the bite mark then takes on the color of the bitters element or of the color of their scales. And whenever touched by the bitter is extremely sensitive and arousing
-when the dragons become pregnant an egg will actually start to grow inside the female(which is why they take on a more dragon like form for the mating and pregnancy) and when it is almost ready the egg will be layed and the mother will stayed curled up around her egg(where she will become very protective and will only let her mate and children anywhere near) this is where the male uses his providing skills he displayed during the wooing phase
-the egg will be about the size of the ones the exceed came from and covered in swirls of its parents elements(the colors)
-the egg grows inside the female for 6 to 8 months depending on the size and how many eggs there are in the clutch. And will then take the remaining time of a regular human pregnancy to hatch
-when in the temple the dragons must wear certain clothes(easy access, since the dragons are normally either in heat or pregnant)
-for males the wear a loincloth to cover their front and behind but noting underneath
-females wear a dress sort of, it has a loincloth like bottom a front and back and then a front for the top that wraps around the neck, but is very loose and barely covers the chest(has a low cut in the front and the side of their breast normally show) and is low enough in the back that it is below the tail[same for the males in that regard]
-the clothing is normally a tan color though variations can occur...like a difference between rank or breed, children(those who have not met their mate or come of age[Wendy])wear white with outline/stitches in their elements color, the adults(mating couples normally) wear the tan clothing with the elemental stitching, while those that are not mating nor pregnant but of age wear their elements color (earth/sand dragons have a more brown/golden tan then the light tan of the mating outfits so they aren't confused)
-once the egg(s) are hatched the mating couple will normally put on their element clothes, babies are normally unclothed or have a white cloth for a diaper if anything
-if the dragon does take their child out of the temple they will put regular baby clothes on them to blend in, but the dragons don't normally leave the temple for a couple years after the first hatchling has been born to be safe.
-and to make sure they can teach the draconic secrets in secret, and so they don't have to hide(children can't really control their forms so they need practice before they can leave the temple(which takes different amounts of time for each dragon)
-Natsu looks kind of like this(though with longer hair[reaches her butt]) and her breast might be a little(lot) bigger like Lucy size, and I imagine her bottom is more or a skirt like from Naruto the long front and back flaps with biker like shorts underneath

- Gajeel still looks the same though when at the temple by the time the story line gets there it would be the newer look the headband one
-how I mentioned the dragons give each other gifts, Gajeel gives Natsu an earring (an iron dragon that loops through her ear like so: /pictures/mini/jpg/-awesome-dragon-earring_ )
And Natsu gives Gajeel a headband made from fire dragon scales which can't be destroyed. The fabric looks like Natsu's scarf but is more of a flame like appearance.

Ages:
Gajeel looks like he's around 21, while in truth he is 137ish [21❌7= 147 and then minus the 9-10 years that he was a 'teen' and went through puberty, so he would be 137]. But should actually be 144.
Natsu looks around 17-18 so she would be between 109 and 116, but since she still has one or two more years of puberty she is going to be 112 & ½. Should be 119 & 1/2.
Wendy looks 12, so she is only starting her puberty, so she is 84 years old. Should be 91.
Laxus is physically 23, but since he is only half dragon (but has gone through puberty) he would be [23➖7= 16❌3.5=56➖10=46] 46 in dragon years, which is still younger than his father (hopefully) and grandfather (88). But should actually be 53.
*Laxus had the lacrima implanted when he was about seven, which is why his age is so funky, and he didn't really join the guild till he was already physically in his teens (after his father was excommunicated [probably altering canon here] so everyone just assumed he was a little older then erza and mirajane and born to his father late in life. Never guessing that he was actually more around wacaba's and Macao's age (which he is mentally if not physically).
Cobra is probably around the same age as Lexus, though he looks a little younger physically so maybe he is [19➖7=12❌3.5=42➖10=32➕3.5=35.5] around 35 & ½ in dragon years, because of that time skip.
Sting is physically 19 [19❌5=95➖10=85➕7=92], but is actually 92 because of that time skip that took Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, and Laxus out of the loop.
Rogue is physically 19 as well and 92 in dragon just like Sting.
Everyone else is the age they are supposed to be both before and after the time skip.
Background:
Dragons age slower than humans (half dragons like Laxus [who became half dragon because of his lacrima implant] has an extended lifespan and if he ages slower than normal it is barely noticeable, till perhaps he is older like Makarov old). So to them humans are very young, since to a dragon seven human years seem like one to them. Though when a full dragon like Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy hits puberty they have a leap in physical and mental development so their 'teen' years are basically the same as regular humans, and that's why no one in the guild really noticed a difference between Natsu and the rest of her generation.
All events leading up to the Phantom Lord arc occur like in canon, with the exception of Natsu being female. So when she meets Lucy and runs into that slave trader man bora(?) and inset affected is because as a dragon and having a dragon mentality the magic that bora used (which only works on humans) did nothing to her. Her interactions is basically the same with every other character as well so not much difference, just little things like with bora or that time they had to infiltrate that mansion for the book, which just had the ugly mansion owner saying she wasn't pretty/beautiful like he did to Lucy.
OUTLINE/PLOT:
So the story starts out with team Natsu returning from their mission (the one Lucy chose like in the beginning of episode 21) or like in canon their return from Galuna island. Where they find out their guild hall has been destroyed, where events go as planned until where levy and her team shadow gear are attack and strung up to that tree. Instead of them being attacked it is Natsu. But during the fight between the two slayers/dragons they realize that their dragons aren't cooperating with them, and then Gajeel (being older) realizes exactly why his dragon won't fight this pink haired female; she is his mate. Gajeel at this realization stops moving. Stops fighting. Natsu realizing this stops as well, but she is just even more confused now. Gajeel then speaks asking her if she can hear what her dragon is saying. Natsu pauses, and looks into her soul, listening, and what she hears shocks her still. After a moment she nods, and tilts her head toward Gajeel, who has moved closer to her. Natsu speaks only one word, a whisper; "Mate". Gajeel takes a deep breath, inhaling her scent now and taking it in, something he didn't do when he first came across her. "Yes" he says, "Mate". He then goes onto say how he can't hurt his mate, can't fight her anymore, but tells her how he can't have her interfere with this guild war he started on his master's orders. He begs her to understand that he had no real choice. Gajeel begs for forgiveness, telling her how he has to make a show of someone from the guild, to enrage the rest into attacking, and that is why he attacked her in the first place after seeing her mark. Natsu yells at him that she can't allow him to attack her nakama, not after he already destroyed their 'home'. But she can understand him following his master's orders, she and many of the others would do the same thing, but never anything like this, she states this is how bad phantom has become! Gajeel realizes that what she says is true, he tells her how he won't attack any of her friends, unless they attack him, and even then he won't really try to win if he must. But he has to make an example of someone or else face Jose's wrath when he returns, and he must return even of it's only for a little while. Gajeel doesn't want Natsu to fight, doesn't want her to be harmed, he has to protect her, and once more her asks for her forgiveness, slightly confusing Natsu again. But before she can ask he is behind her knocking her out cold. He swings her up into his arms like a princess and carries her to the park (the one from canon [south gate park?] where shadow gear was found), like how Levy looked in canon when they found her, he shackles her to the tree, and paints his guild mark on her stomach (they did get into a fight before their mutual realization). Before he leaves Magnolia he kisses her forehead, Gajeel then leaves knowing that her guild mates will find her in the morning and that Jose's plan will move ahead on schedule.
The next morning everyone is once more in the guild basement, when Happy comes flying in all panicked asking if anyone has seen Natsu, that he woke up this morning and she wasn't there, and that he can't find her. They go into a panic, Makarov quickly divides everyone into teams and tells them to go out looking, to be careful. It is Erza, Gray, Lucy and Happy that find her first, having noticed a gathering in the park. And soon enough everyone else shows up. The sight before them is horrible, one of their strongest mages in strung up, crucified and beaten. Natsu's hair is out of the covered bun she keeps it in (think Ino's hair), her pants and vest are in tatters, and she's missing a shoe; but that's not all, there are numerous cuts and lacerations all over her body. Though the worst thing, has to be the Phantom Lord emblem painted on her stomach, a stark contrast against her paled almost sickly skin. Makarov reacts as canon and events follow accordingly, with the exception of Natsu being taken to Porlysuchia's instead of the hospital, and Gray breaking the Phantom door down in Natsu's place. The guild brawl follows with Natsu's and Happy's scenes taken out (Happy is staying with Natsu). The one to fight Gajeel is Gray in the guild brawl. All other canon events follow along with Lucy's kidnapping (she had wanted to stay and make sure Natsu was alright but Porlysuchia had kicked her out, which is how she ended up being alone again). Though since Natsu isn't there to hear Gajeel's comment about Lucy being taken, let's have it be Loke who hears this, and goes to rescue her, or at least find out where she is being kept, and like canon Lucy jumps off the tower, having recognized a voice calling her name. Loke catches her, but quickly releases her (since he still has his fear of celestial spirit mages) and tells her what she missed, and finds out why she was taken. Loke brings her back to the guild hall, where once more events go like canon, Erza stopping the canon and Mirajane and Reedus (?) hiding Lucy away, the one to take Natsu's place is Gray at first where he proceeds to destroy the canon chamber with Elfman's help, and goes on to fight Juvia. And Erza shows up and fights off Aria from the beginning, while being weakened, but still making her way to Jose, to Lucy. Who Gajeel still went and captured and brought back to the moving guild, but unlike canon he doesn't beat her up, well at least not as much or as roughly. And just like in canon Erza speaks of Natsu being stronger, and mentions how her help is needed, that she must unleash her power, and with those words Natsu breaks in, surprising Erza and the others who have showed up. They notice how her clothes are different and that she still has bandages wrapped around her body, but they don't get to say anything as she promises Erza that she'll be kicking butt, in her stead, and that she has some fights to make up for. And just like in canon Natsu breaks through the floor diverting Gajeel's attack, she snarls at him surrounded as she is by her flames. Gajeel makes his comment about how he knew she was coming. Natsu spares him a glance, as she blows away the other Phantom Lord minions, knocking them out of the room with her fire, Happy frees Lucy and following Natsu's orders takes her away so she won't get into the way nor hurt in the fight. Lucy tries to stay, but Natsu yells at her telling her that this fight between dragons will be vicious and unsafe for any bystanders. Lucy concedes and leaves with Happy. Floating far enough away to be safe, but still watch (though they can't really hear what is said). Gajeel asks Natsu how she's doing, he doesn't want to hurt her further. But Nadu denies him an answer instead saying how there is only one way for this to go forward and for him to earn any forgiveness from her. And that way is an honorable fight between dragons, a fight for dominance, and if Gajeel wins Natsu will concede, but if he loses be will have to do as she says. Gajeel thinks about her terms and agrees, Natsu tells him if he doesn't give his all then he will have no chance of victory. The two clash, going at it, bantering back and forth with names and on Gajeel's part innuendos, hoping he can distract/embarrass Natsu enough to win. Their fight besides the banter goes much like canon with Gajeel covering his body in Iron scales and the eating the surrounding Iron, gaining a power boost. This is where Lucy and Happy realize Natsu might lose if she doesn't eat any fire, the two land, where Lucy proceeds to pull out Sagittarius in hope that he can do something, which like canon he does. Natsu ends up winning, with the Phantom Lord guild destroyed she stays behind to speak to Gajeel, they had a deal. The speak of their dragons, both curious as to whose child they are, when Gajeel realizes that Natsu is Igneel's daughter her falters, then stammers out how she's the princess. Natsu just nodded, not really getting his surprise, she then mentions how he's the son of the head guardsmen. And how she remembers when her father would bring her to the dragon temple for meetings, where her father and Metalicana would argue for most of the meeting and nothing would really get accomplished. Gajeel laughs, remembering those meetings, but he asks why he doesn't actually remember seeing her there. Natsu nods agreeing, saying how she was kept well hidden and guarded for her 'safety'. They then ask each other if their fathers disappeared on July 7th in the year 777, which happens to be the case. Natsu goes on to mention how Igneel would take her on long extended training trips out in the wilderness, and how a few days before he disappeared he mentions that she wont be returning to the temple again for a long while. That she has a journey to make, and that she must learn of the world and find herself. And that she will know when it is time for her to return. Her instincts will guide her. Gajeel then mentions how he had a similar conversation with his own father. Soon after that Gajeel ask her what she wants him to do, since she was the victor? Natsu
Chapter 1 – In the Beginning….
3rd POV (?)
The Master had warned everyone to not go out alone, and to always be with someone for safety, just in case an attack from Phantom came again. And everyone had followed this decree all except for Natsu it seemed, who was out late at night quickly heading away from the guild towards what is assumed her own house or Lucy's apartment.
She was alone.
Not even Happy was with her. All you could hear was her running down the cobblestones, and an ever so faint set of almost silent feet. It seems that Natsu hears the same noise, because she stops running and looks all around her for the source. She finds none, not even a distinct scent with her nose. So she continues home, where she had left Happy not wishing to wake him from his sleep. Beside she wouldn't be that long, she had only just left her jacket back in the guild hall (she had put her share of the reward money in the pocket), it wasn't going to take her all that long to go and retrieve it. Besides she didn't want to run out of food money.
Natsu stopped again. The feeling of being watched had only increased, but still she could not detect where the eyes came from. So once again she continued home, not realizing that a shadow had appeared above her.
Natsu started to scream in surprise and slight pain, but it was cut short as her head was shoved into the ground, forming a small crater. A voice above her spoke.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Don't want to hurt you any more than necessary now." It was a man whose voice was a deep one. He was wearing a black vest coat with rough edges and white pants gathered into a pair of steel-toed boots, there was a pair of brown gloves with steel plates on his hands, he also had what looked like a shroud of black feathers over his right shoulder blending into his long shaggy black hair. All over his body were metal studs, and scars; his eyes were blood red. "And here I thought I'd never find one of you Fairy Butts all by yourself. But I guess I got lucky." The man sneered down at Natsu, as he grounded his foot into her back even more. Natsu squirmed trying to get her arms under her so she could throw her attacker off, this man she realized was like iron, heavy and hard to move. She collapsed once more, turning her head enough to see and speak.
"Who-Who are you?"
"Me? I'm Kurogane Gajeel! The Iron Dragon Slayer of Phantom Lord!" Gajeel introduced himself with a cocky voice, perhaps even excited, but for what that is unclear.
"What! Phantom! You bastard let me go! I'm going to kick your ass!" Natsu was enraged, once more she tried freeing herself from the Kurogane's grasp.
