Call for Interest!!

I've wanted to make a google form for the interest check but haven't had time do that so we'll be doing this old school!

Graylu Secret Siblings is a NEW YEAR gift exchange that had ran twice in the past! The point of this event is to bring each and every graylu fan closer together like a family as participants work to create a gift for another participant.

If you're interested in joining or following this exchange, please like, reblog and comment on this post so we can get everything set up soon!

Have a spooky October, graylu family!

Substitute Gift for @trinityvermillion Prepared by @lockandk3yfiction

I apologize for such the lateness, there has been a few mishaps and unfortunately we could not get your gift to you on time. I hope that this will be suitable and that you did enjoy your time in this event!

[graylusecretsiblings]

Dear graylu family,

We would like to thank those who have participated in this mini-event, who have shared their love for graylu, and celebrated the new year with all of us. We couldn’t do this without you, so thumbs up!

Hopefully, our little family can grow (and stay strong) and there will be more creations for graylu throughout 2018! Yeay!  ヾ(●・ｖ・人・ｖ・○)ノ

Last but not least, graylu family unite!

[graylusecretsiblings]

I know that this is very early, but as of right now do you think there will be a GrayLu Secret Siblings Exchange 2018/19?

Hi @grayserigala :)

Thanks for the message. Well, if you guys still interested to participate so it’s possible to have this mini-event again for next year. 

Just wait and see then hehe~

[trinityvermillion]

For @impracticaldemon I was you secret sibling for the Graylu gift exchange! I hope you enjoy it! I’m sorry it’s not very long! >.<

Lucy’s P.O.V.

Toss and turn, fluff pillows up, adjust blankets, adjust pillows, find a reasonably comfortable position, and try to fall asleep. Wake back up for an unknown reason, and repeat cycle. How many times have I done this tonight? Four times? Five? I’ve lost track at this point of the night. I roll over to check the time, thinking that my alarm will go off soon…

3:02 a.m.

  …Crap. My alarm is set to go off at 9:00 a.m. so Gray and I have time to head back to town in the afternoon, and with my sleeping pattern and writers block that has been bugging me for 6 months now, there’s no way I’m gonna look well-rested to Gray. Knowing him, he’ll delay our trip back just to make sure that both of us are 100% healthy.

*Knock Knock Knock*

Who’s knocking on my door at this hour? I clamber out of bed and head to the door, only to open it and find Gray on the other side. “Heya Lucy, did I wake you?”, Gray said in a tone that sounded a little scared. I shook my head, “No you didn’t, Gray. I actually was just using the bathroom, so I was already awake. Why are you down here, if I may ask?”

“I… um… I couldn’t sleep. This place reminds me too much of my old house, so I was wondering if you wanted to head home earlier than planned? I can find a carriage to take us back to Magnolia.” I stopped him before he could continue rambling on. “If that’s what will make you comfortable Gray. I’ll pack up the rest of my stuff and get changed.” Gray nods his head, and before he turns away to go find a carriage, he asks one more question. “Hey babe? Is it alright if I stay with you for the night when we get back?” I blush at the sudden question, turn to him and give him a smile. “Of course, my brave little polar bear. I would love that.” He glares at me for the nickname, internally cursing Natsu for giving me that idea. I giggle at his response, and head over to him to give him a kiss on the cheek. As soon as I hear the door shut, I start changing my clothes. One question pops into my mind as I look down at my engagement ring while I’m changing…

… I wonder how Gray will react when I tell him I’m pregnant?

Hi, @yamarygraylu :) 

I’m your secret sibling! Sorry for this late post. My internet went down and I need to wait a few days longer than I expected.

At first, I wanted to make a one-shot but somehow it ended up into a mini-series with 4k+ words ^^; ah well… I’ve tried to make it to your preference, hope you like it! :)

Happy new year to you! Wishing you a wonderful new year filled with abundance, joy, and treasured moments. All hail graylu!  (*＾∇＾)ﾉﾟ･*:.｡.☆

“The best thing that happened to me was to meet you.”

Sing along with me~

It will also be greatly appreciated if participants who have not finished/posted their gifts contact me as well so that we may figure out what the situation is and work this out.

Pride Goeth Before a Party ~ Graylu Holiday Fic Exchange

by Impracticaldemon for @condacending

Words: ~ 2100 | FFnet | AO3  @graylusecretsiblings @fic-writer-appreciation @graylu-fanfictions

Author’s Note:

Unfortunately, this story was both delayed and shortened due to me being sick over the holidays and beyond. I hope to publish an epilogue shortly.  I was offered the perfect wishlist (matching my own preferences just about exactly). Here are Condacending’s notes:

Characters portrayed as rational / down to earth who connect on a personal level

Witty, comfortable conversation between them and their friends

Dependable, emotionally there for each other

Moments of normalcy in their life

Canon compliant but enjoys AU spins on canon

~ Impracticaldemon

Pride Goeth Before a Party, or We All Make Mistakes A Holiday Graylu Fic for Condacending

Gray stood at the front window of Lucy’s apartment watching the snow fall, arms crossed, shoulders tense, stance closer to defensive than appropriate for a comfortable night in with a much-cherished girlfriend. He managed to keep his tone reasonably even, at least.

“I thought it was just going to be the team. Natsu, Erza, Wendy, the cats… maybe one or two others.”

Title: Resolution

Date: January 7, 2018

A gift to @grayserigala for the @graylusecretsiblings!

Pairing: Gray Fulbuster x Lucy Heartfilia

Word Count: 1140

Summary: Modern AU. Implied military character. Gray Fullbuster does not have much to his life at the very moment, at least not until he meets who he needs to see.

AN: I’m sorry this is a bit late, I have been busy lately due to event managements and other personal concerns. I have been told someone liked Gray centric angst though and I love it as well, this is light on the angst though and is more of a reminiscing type story that had a few kinks that needed to be worked out for the past few days. I do hope that you enjoy this and had a wonderful New Year.

(Read on ffn for better formatting.)

Gray strolled through the city on New Year’s Eve, Christmas lights still hung over shop doors, kids running about in the early hours of the night, the sky still bright in purple hues. He stood alone, walked the streets with his hands in his jacket pockets, his ebony black hair ruffling with the soft breeze, cold as it flew by him. It had no affect though, the cold never bothered him, at least not the weather, not when water froze and snow formed. It was warm and a blessing compared to the coldness of his heart, the emptiness he felt over and over again.

Hello, Graylu Family!

It is nearly the end of January 5th and that means our event is coming to an end. Thank you to all who have participated and were able to create their gift on time.

If you have yet to receive a gift, do not worry. We have already received a couple notices that participants may be late due to personal matters. The admins will keep in contact with those who have not posted gifts yet and will make sure you receive something as soon as possible.

[graylusecretsiblings]

For @impracticaldemon I ( @trinityvermillion) was your secret sibling for the Graylu gift exchange! I hope you enjoy it! I’m sorry it’s not very long! >.<

Happy New Year!

Hello!

@lockand3yfiction Here’s you’re giftie from the the GrayLu Secret Sibling Gift Exchange 😄

I heard you like winter stuff and sharing some hot cocoa, so I thought making Gray and Lucy relaxing on the couch with some Hot cocoa, and outside a winter night, this may not be much but, I really hope you like your gift.

Also my best wishes for your year to be a great one with blessings and more importantly a good health.

Have a Great Year!

Hey @becausewhenyoupracticeyouimprove, I was your Graylu Secret Sibling!

Sorry, it may not seem like much, but I worked really hard on it and I really do hope you like it ^^

Your preferences left a lot of room for interpretation and I got this idea when I read what you wanted. I did not ask for more information because I believed this would be within your chosen parameters - I hope it is to your taste. 

Happy holidays, and I hope you have a wonderful 2018!
