not fraxus but the thing @phoenix-before-the-flame posted reminded me of this and I think it’s time to post it hahaha
This is clearly my fav prompt for this Fraxus Week !
This panel was pretty clear in my head when I read the prompt list, I needed to give these two an adorable little girl… who can destroy the guild with the others children 🤭 I think she is a good mix of Freed and Laxus !
It’s always a pleasure to read your stories, I’m not good with words, but you are, and I really love your works !You always describe them perfectly whether it’s cute, funny or spicy !
Actually, that’s not the only thing about 100yq’s writing that’s irksome. I feel like many characterizations of characters get butchered to some extent, it feels chaotic and, and this is another factor why I personally couldn’t get myself to sit through watching 100 Year Quest thus far (next to how my favorite characters get treated), is how no episode passes without unnecessary fanservice and sexualizing of one or more female characters. Sometimes multiple scenes in one episode.
I feel like the sexualization + sexual harrassment depiction as joke has been amped up and I can’t bear it anymore.
Fairy Tail used to be such a comfort show and it + the characters still are to some extent, but I just personally cannot sit through it anymore.
The series has gone from establishing ghe Raijinshuu as very powerful antagonists and then went on to constantly ignore, nerf amd treat them like they’re incompetent and have lost 90% of their capabilities and power for no reason other then letting other characters get away with wins and let them shine, or so it seems because there is so many ridiculous excuses and inconsistency in the writing of them and their powers ever since they’ve come back to the “good side”.
None of the strong antagonists have been affected by the ‘antagonist become good, then shoved to the side and written with terrible excuses for their losses or absence, and not allowed to even use a hint of the power they possess as originally fucking strong characters’ as much as them.
100yq made it even worse which I didn’t think was even possible but hey. Literally so tired.
A/N: I apologize that this is so late! I was inspired to write this after watching the Alvarez arc. When Laxus started using jutsu shiki I expected there to be some exploratory flashback, and there was none! I knew from that moment I wanted to try to write something that could fill that gap. I’ve found it’s really interesting to speculate about the Thunder Legion & Laxus’ time in Blue Pegasus and I hope to one day to complete a multi-chapter fic that explores that era for the team (embracing some of the canon content we’ve received about it, and diverging in other ways). In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this write-up for the “Hidden Moments” prompt.
It was night, Blue Pegasus was fillled with people, celebrating and flirting, like usual.
The Thunder Legion joined them a few weeks earlier, but it looked like they belonged there already.
It wasn’t even that hard. Fairy Tail was a place where parties happened a lot more than there, but without flirting. Nobody, except for Loke, knew how to do that right.
Laxus was looking at them from the window, enjoying the cold breeze outside. He still didn’t feel like home there, but he was glad his friends were happy.
At least for now. He knew that sooner or later he would have to tell them about his desease, but the mere thought scared him.
He just came back from Polryusica’s cottage, since she insisted he had to come back regularly. Laxus thought she was overreacting, but it turned out she was right. The Anti-Ethernano particles were still present in his body, even after taking the antidote. He was close to death and he had no idea how to break the news to his team.
He was used to be the strong one, the one that protected his friends, but now, he was just some big guy they were going to have to take care of. He promised to protect them, but now, he won’t be able to do that.
“Did you go to Polryusica?”
Maybe he was supposed to talk sooner than he expected.
Laxus turned around and found Freed with his arms crossed, waiting for an answer from him. He was wearing the dress shirt and tie that he bought to work at Blue Pegasus and for a while, Laxus couldn’t say anything, too busy looking at his body.
“Laxus” he called again.
Laxus realised he still didn’t say anything and panicked.
“I don’t have a lot of time”
Freed’s eyes widened and Laxus was pretty sure he could see a couple of tears forming.
“What?” He whispered. Shit, the dragonslayer didn’t mean to start like that. But it was useless, now. He had to tell him the truth.
“She said that the medicine didn’t work on me like it did with you guys because I went to fight Tempester on my own. Apparently, it made things worse and now I have like a year to live”
Freed stayed silent.
“Don’t be sad, i’m sure we can find a solution” he said, trying to cheer his boyfriend up. It didn’t work, Freed’s gaze was still glued to the floor.
“Besides, it’s won’t be that big of a loss” he walked to him and placed his hand on the rune mage’s shoulder in a comforting way “I couldn’t even protect Magnolia and, after what I did years ago, I don’t think anyone will miss me that much”
Freed was still silent, but he raised his head and was looking at Laxus as if he was mad.
Before Laxus could say anything, the rune wizard slapped him so hard that Laxus was sure it would leave a mark.
“I cannot tollerate anyone talking like that about you. Not even yourself” he breathed as his eyes were now full of tears.
His sobs became louder when he felt the other’s arms wrapping around him.
“You’re not going to die… I won’t let you…”
“I’m not going to die without fighting”
He didn’t know how long they stayed there, but eventually, Freed stopped crying and tightened his grip on Laxus.
“I will heal you” he wasn’t sure if his boyfriend was talking to himself or not, but he couldn’t help but smile.
“I’m in good hands, then” he whispered tenderly before leaving a small kiss on the rune mage’s forehead.
***
It was over. The battle with Alvarez, the one with Acnologia, finally over.
The streets were filled with people. Mostly mages. Sibling, friends and lover were reuniting.
But Freed couldn’t find the one that he whished to see the most. He looked everywhere and asked everyone, but he couldn’t find Laxus.
He hasn’t seen him since the start of that stupid war. Freed needed to know if the spell he taught Laxus worked, if he actually managed to save him. He could never forgive himself if that wasn’t the case.
As he thought, the rune mage was suddently pulled in a hidden alley and pressed against something warm and firm.
He recognised the cologne, so Freed hugged his significant other back immediately.
“You’re alright” he sighed, relieved.
“Thanks to you”
Freed looked up, hope filling his eyes. Laxus smiled and nodded. That was all he needed to understand.
They kissed, happy that they could finally stay together.
