gift for my precious friend @grayluforever!

fuck @spacepolice

if you were writing fairy tail how would you go about developing Graylu as an endgame couple?

Endgame GraLu

Thank you so much for asking! I think I talked about that a little already if you want to check out my other #gralu posts on my blog, but as for how I would develop them? That's a good, hard question. I feel like my answer might not be satisfying, but I’ll give it a shot! This won’t really be as fluffy or fanfic-y as my other posts, just me kinda spitballing about it.

After they started dating, (here's a mini fic about how I might write that and how their relationship might look like in this post, I highly suggest you read that and this post about why like GraLu for a full understanding of why/how they’d work as an endgame couple), I would have Lucy and Gray finally confront juvia and the guild for their mistreatment of Gray. All that gaslighting by their guild-mates and juvia's incessant slobbering over him--yeah that's gotta end first and foremost. Lucy certainly wouldn’t accept it, and would stand up to everyone on his behalf. Gray would draw from her impetuous strength and would also finally put his foot down and not humor juvia any more.

I'd want them to have the time to develop more of a relationship: going on quests and jobs alone together, exploring the world, just hanging out, learning how to synchronize their magic etc. They basically would need more one-on-one time, which they would enjoy immensely no matter what they did, but since they both love their guild so much, they wouldn't leave the guild and would still spend a lot of time with Fairy Tail. I think they’d still go on tons of adventures with Team Natsu because they are Team Natsu. UNLIKE SOMEONE, they can have lives outside of their romance.

Lots of people would definitely tease them about it, from Happy to Mira to Erza to basically everyone (I’d imagine Natsu would be a mite jealous so he wouldn’t), but they all would agree that each completes the other.

I don’t think the two of them would act that lovey-dovey in public ie in front of Fairy Tail members. It’s not so much that they’re too embarrassed—though Lucy definitely gets embarrassed by all the teasing and constantly has to tell people to shut it—it’s more because when they’re with the guild, they like to enjoy the community and wouldn’t want to act like they’re excluding others or in their own world. Their friends are their family after all. Dating wouldn’t change that.

juvia would have a hard time accepting this as you’d imagine, might even try to kill the two of them as she’s shown to be capable of attempting several times before, and might just in the end up and leave the guild (if she isn’t expelled because of her trying to hurt Gray and Lucy), plotting vengeance one way or another. Lucy would be relieved just for Gray’s sake; she’s not the jealous type after all. Gray would be relieved for his own sake too haha, might feel bad for her though because he’s a big softie sometimes, but Lucy grounds him well, affirming him and letting him know he’s safer now.

Anyway, if I was the author, I’d just make more sweet moments between them. I think they already have the perfect basis for a relationship, being best friends who can joke and be themselves with each other, so barely anything would have to change, just the amount of moments really.

In the manga I’m not sure I’d go as far as to show how they get married, though I’d definitely want them to be eventually. If I did though, I think it would be really cute if they had the wedding in the cold mountains of Gray’s hometown to honor Ur and his parents who couldn’t be there. This would’ve been Lucy’s idea. They would have ways of keeping the guests warm through magic I’m sure. Lucy would have a custom made winter wedding dress, and Gray would wear a black suit (going naked is going a bit too far in honoring Ur haha). Everyone from Fairy Tail and the guilds that they both have friends in would come, and there’d be lots of tears. Aquarius would find a way to be there despite her broken key, huffing and saying it was about time Lucy got married, but also crying nonstop. It’d be funny if during their first dance, Gray danced like he did in the Eclipse Celestial Spirit arc with Cancer, but maybe that’s too comedic haha.

After the reception, I think Gray and Lucy would honeymoon by traveling all over the country and beyond. They would first make sure to visit the graves of Layla and Jude, and then to Isvan to Silver’s to pay their respects, but then the sky’s the limit on their honeymoon adventure.

Idk how much time one could spend on that since there are other characters and storylines to be written, so that might be it for that lil arc.

Both of them definitely want to have kids. Gray wants to be the father he lost so young. He doesn’t want his children to feel as helpless as he did, and wants to protect them like Ur protected him. Lucy also wants to be the mother she lost so young, being just like Layla and teaching her children to be kind no matter what. She really appreciates it how she doesn’t have to worry about Gray becoming like her father, and yet she would only tell her kids about all the good things Jude did.

They wouldn’t have children super soon—they’re only teens in the anime anyway—and I’m sure they’d have lots of work to do saving the world time and again, but when they did, while still in their prime ofc, I’d want to break the trope of having one boy and one girl, so I think I’d have them have both boys and maybe they’d be twins. They might name them Urek and Layland to honor Ur and Layla (yes yes lots of honoring their parents/parent figures but they were really important to these two you know?) One would have Gray’s eye shape and the other something more similar to Lucy’s but not quite bc her eyes are too big for an anime dude, but maybe both of their eyes are a deep brown, and one had blonde and the other had black hair. (Maybe I’ll try to draw these two!)

I feel like this was a really brain dead post of mine, but I tried spurring my sleepy brain to put something down, so please forgive the randomness of it TvT Please send another ask if you’re not satisfied and wanted something specific!

SOUNDS LIKE A SKILL ISSUE TO ME! 😌🤷🏽‍♀️
