Fic Master List

One-Shots

Say It Again

With Gray finally admitting that Juvia is his power to live, Juvia wants nothing more than to hear him say those words again. But Gray would rather do something else than repeat what he said. [based on Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapters 57-58] [for Gruvia Day 2020]

A Glimpse of the Future

Juvia had always wondered where exactly she stood with Gray. She finally got her answer when Gray came back from Edolas and saw someone he never expected. [based on Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapters 66]

Fifth

Spending quality time with each other may not be so easy with two kids in tow. [Lemon]

Lips Like Sugar

Juvia may be an excellent baker, but sometimes she needs Gray’s discerning taste to get it right.

Sparks

How could he be so selfish to think about starting something with her when he knew he won’t be able to stay?

Winter Warmth

It would probably take Gray a lifetime to surpass or even equal what Juvia does for him, but it was definitely a challenge he was more than happy to take. [inspired by the cover of Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Chapters 74]

Home

Coming home from a mission is always better when there's someone waiting for you. [for Gruvia Day/Greige Day/Gruvia Family Day 2021]

Unbreakable Vow

There had been many false alarms in the past, moments when she thought Gray would finally accept her feelings. She once again had her hopes up, even though she knew this was probably another one of those. [inspired by Mashima's artworks in his recent autograph session]

The Way I Love You

How does Gray Fullbuster love a girl like Juvia Lockser? A few of their guildmates might know a thing or two... but can he actually pull it off? [inspired by Gruvia Day 2021 official art]

Hello everyone! I am trying to make this story as short as possible, since I just want to feed my gruvia heart haha. So please don't be surprised if it's kinda fast-paced... I'll try to make this wholesome and relaxing. No drama (maybe). Might be cliche, but hey, why not?

Please don't mind the timestamps! They're not relevant to the story unless stated. English isn't also my first language so apologies in advance for the grammatical errors. Moreover, characters might sound a little bit ooc.

Lastly, I can tag you guys if you want to but I cannot promise that the taglist is always updated since all chapters are already queued.

Thank you for your support and I hope you guys will enjoy it!

THEY ARE BACK.

[mainlysarcastic]

I love the progression of Gray and Juvia’s relationship

How it started as Juvia having an obsessive crush and Gray just being annoyed

How it becomes increasingly clear that it’s more than a school girl crush and that Juvia has deep feeling for him, how she pays attention and learns as much about him as she can, how she’s deeply concerned about his safety and wellbeing

How even though Gray was annoyed with how public Juvia was with her love that he still saw her as a good friend and guildmate, how he wants to fight alongside her because they work so well together and how he protects and advocates for her because he still respects her as his guildmate and as a skilled wizard/ fighter

How he slowly warms up to her and starts showing his emotions that he never shows to anyone, how he recognizes the depth of her love for him and he realizes that he has someone who genuinely cares about him, how he comforts her when she’s worried

How he begins to deeply care about her and starts to open up to her and actually tell her that he appreciates her and values her, even if he isn’t able to say he loves her yet, how she stands by his side no matter what and waits for him, how he falls into her as he cries knowing that he can cry in front of her because she has become his safe space

And when he finally accepts his feelings for her and admits to them and shows them in front of his friends

I’m so obsessed with these two it’s ridiculous

This is the art of the century

I haven't been active in the Gruvia fandom lately coz I got a lot on my plate now, but I cannot not post this absolutely top-tier Gruvia Day art of our favorite couple making baby Greige (you can't change my mind).

God, the Gruvia development is so awesome. Through the manga, chapter covers, and official arts, we've seen them go from enemies to guildmates to friends to situationship (that 6-month living together cannot be purely platonic lol) to admitting their feelings to going on dates to missing each other and finally getting naked to do their business *wink wink*. They even have 2 kids!

Haters keep on hating but we're sipping our piña coladas while watching our ship sail blissfully towards the sunset. 🤪

Big hug to all Gruvia stans, we deserve this and so much more!

[renjihoe]

Like gray please stop playing these mind games!! And yes he is hard with feelings but it was annoying when he was ok with other guildmates doing somthing but get angry at juv for the same stuff. Anyways, i love gruvia and there development but sometimes i felt like wacking gray for some of his idiotic moments. and yes juvia over exaggerated sometimes but it was never her intent to make him uncomfortable she was mostly expressing her admiration for him, while he used some of that for his own gain

Yea I 100% agree with everything you said! Sometimes I wanted to jump through the scream and shake sense into Gray for how mean he was, but at the same time I wanted to have a serious talk with Juvia about being a little less aggressive with her love. But people seriously think that Juvia or Gray’s intentions were to hurt each other or anyone for that matter? No! If that’s what people think then maybe they don’t like Gray as much as they think (seeing that most of the hate comes from Gray super fans). Their development towards the end of the series and in 100yq is amazing so they both got a fresh start for building a healthy relationship which is what matters most!

[jekde04]

Also let's keep in mind that Gray pushes away the people he loves the most. Just take a look at how much of a headache he was to Ur. He also finds Lyon annoying though he acknowledges him as a brother, and he always fights with Natsu even though they know they've always got each other's backs. That's why him being "mean" to Juvia makes sense when you consider his personality. And now that he stopped fighting his feelings for Juvia, we see all his repressed feelings spill out and he can't seem to stop declaring his love for her every chance he gets lol.

My Thoughts on Juvia and Gray’s Relationship.

May contain spoilers for the anime & 100yq manga but I’ll be as vanilla about it as possible. This is a long one so get comfy.

A few years ago, I used to be upset at the fact that Gruvia took so long to happen. But now that I’m older and I’ve hyper fixated on the couple long enough, I’ve learned to appreciate their relationship for what it is now and for what it was in the beginning. From the start I’ve always shipped Gruvia but I never expected them to be together in the first place, PLUS I only shipped them because I honestly just liked the idea of them being together. Liking the idea of a couple and the couple actually being good together is two different things and I knew that. My initial thought was “how funny would it be if they actually got together”. Kinda like a gag if you will. But overtime I started to REALLY appreciate their build up. There are plenty of couples out there in popular anime who’s relationships parallel to Gruvia, (the girl or guy is deeply in love and the other party pays them no mind). But what I really hate about relationships like that is when they get slapped together at the end just to please an audience. If Mashima did the same thing, I could honestly say I probably wouldn’t be shipping Juvia and Gray to this day, but luckily for me and other Gruvia fans he did not go that route. People say that fans forced Gruvia to be canon which is just not true since FROM THE BEGINNING of the series, Gray was told by the fortune teller that he would be tangled up with a water woman in the near future. Plus the simple fact that their characters were designed to match each others (water and ice), Juvia is also a semi-yandere (I only say semi because Juvia won’t actually do anything to hurt Gray or the others she cares about) and Gray is a Tsundere. In the beginning Gray was honestly just a dick to Juvia, but that was more for comedic effect which me being a hard core Gruvia fan at the time, sometimes I didn’t appreciate. But now a days I really do appreciate the comedy between the two characters because I’ve realized there is a good balance between their comedy and the seriousness of how they actually feel about each other. You could even call Gruvia a slow burn but in my eyes the pacing is perfect and very realistic.

Here are my thoughts on Gruvia from Gray’s perspective. Gray was pretty compassionate towards Juvia when they first met, even though they were enemies, Juvia of course gets love at first sight. As they get to know each other, Juvia’s love grows more and more intense and in Gray’s eyes it comes across as pushy. Though I personally saw her love for him being a “I see you need love, let me love you” type thing. He slowly (very slowly lmao) warms up to Juvia and they start going on jobs together and forming a close friendship, to the point where they would rather go on jobs together instead of with the rest of the team.

And then the plot starts to get a bit heavier and so does their relationship. Juvia and Gray have multiple occasions where they make protecting each other their main mission. But two particular scenes stood out to me in the last two anime arcs. Juvia sacrifices her relationship with Gray to do what was best for him, we all know the scene so I won’t go into details for the sake of time and spoilers. But in that moment that’s when I decided I didn’t ship them just because the idea was cute, I shipped them because they NEEDED each other. Juvia finally understood Gray and his history, while Gray not only understood his festering feelings for her BUT he got the closure he deserved of his family, all thanks to Juvia. Although there were subtle hints that Gray started to develop feelings way earlier on than this scene, THIS is when he knew for sure how he felt.

The last and finally scene that pretty much sealed the deal for them being my otp was when they both sacrifice themselves to save each other. **cries 😭** We got a full length scene of them damn near confessing how much they meant to each other. We all know what happens at the end of that scene, then Gray makes a promise to Juvia and that was to take her feelings more seriously. The thought of him loosing someone else he loved definitely shocked him into reality and broke that Tsundere spell that was casted on to him by the creators…well kinda. In the anime Gray eventually confesses his feelings in a round about way and I HATED IT! I just wanted him to lay it all out there on the table. But maturing is realizing that, that actually wasn’t the confession and that’s apparent in 100yq.

Although I would love for them to just be together already, I appreciate Mashima and Ueda taking their time with this couple and really putting emphasis on their shared character/relationship development. I also appreciate that we get this development through Gray’s perspective, it adds a bit more to them as a couple. In conclusion, I’m lonely and I want what they have. No but seriously I’m soaking up every bit we get from Gruvia! Since Gruvia days is coming up, I had planned on doing a relationship/couple analysis from Gray’s perspective but this honestly sums it up lol!
