Mystogan hc’s because I thought of his backstory and it fits

It’s a long post but read it!! I love my boy and he needs a backstory!!

Jellal Faust (yeah, it’s their last name and not the King’s first name which is Luis) and Siegrain Faust were born as real twins. Their wet-nurse was Irene Knightwalker, who gave birth to a girl few months before. Salma, their mother, felt indifferent to them and didn’t take care of them at all

Irene raised them and so Erza hated those two twins, even if they were princes, and her mother. Thus, she wanted to become a royal knight just like her father

Siegrain being born minutes before Mystogan was supposed to be the heir and future king

But the more he was growing up, the weaker he was becoming.

Until their 3 years old, nobody saw his health problem, thinking he was just less physical and more intelligent.

But at 3, he couldn’t walk without help and always had a fever

Mystogan tried his best to cheer him up. At 5, he even went outside to catch a bird, for him to feel better (Siegrain couldn’t go outside anymore and was in a wheelchair) but injured himself really bad in the process and almost died.

Lily saved him

And became close to them. He joined the army et tried to see them as much as he could

Irene was worried when Mystogan disappeared and became overprotective of him too (since she already was, to Siegrain)

Lily and Irene even bought them a bird, when they were 6. Mystogan got tattooed by his father (marked as the heir because Faust wanted to start a new tradition: each king will be marked as a member of the royal family with a tatoo) and Siegrain had to stay in bed all day long. The bird was supposed to cheer the both of them

They called him Pirou. They were happy

Siegrain died when they were 8 years old. No doctors found a way to heal him, only one found a medicine to make him feel better. His life expectancy was between 5 and 15 years old

Mystogan set Pirou free, since it was Siegrain’s last wish. At the funeral only him, Lily and Irene were crying. The king and the queen were indifferent.

After his death, Mystogan tried to understand what Siegrain had. He read tons of book and even studied his medicines, known as X-balls.

He learnt and understood what he had: magic within him. X-balls were created so Earthland’s mages could use magic in this world, it relieved his pain but didn’t change anything. People born in Edolas weren’t physically made to receive magic, they had no organs for it, no origins. This led to Siegrain’s death. The more he was growing up, the more the magic was disappearing and killing him.

Mystogan try to learn and understand what Earthland was, what magic was. Quickly he learnt that Edolas didn’t had magic anymore and had limited magic. And that his father the King was stealing it from Earthland through animas.

Mystogan linked what happened to his brother to the mages in Earthland. Siegrain had magic while he shouldn’t have, leading to his death, this means that if Earthland’s mages didn’t have magic anymore while they should they would die too. Learning that Earthland was composed by a majority of mages, he decided to stop his father from killing almost everyone in this parallel world

From 9 to 12 years old, Mystogan tried to learn as much as he could about those two worlds and created his first stave. He kept Siegrain’s medicine too, because he thought that it was precious and seeing his father becoming crazier, lusting for power, he thought that no doctor or scientist could ever recreate such a thing.

He didn’t tell anyone about his research and his plan. Not even Lily or Irene

A few months before his disappearance, his mother died. He believed that his father was linked to it and that he would be the next one.

He used his father machines to start an anima but in reverse, Edolas wasn’t receiving power but giving. It allowed him to go away and join Earthland.

Irene and Lily were devasted.

In his fall, Mystogan and Jellal had a nosebleed. Their brotherhood and links couldn’t take such events. First, the Siegrains and Salmas didn’t die at the same moment (which don’t happen a lot, normally. This is why Lisanna ended up in Edolas after Edo-Lisanna’s death) and now the Jellals were in the same world. This led to a dysfunction and their destiny changed. They weren’t going to be opposite anymore.

In Earthland, he tried his best to survive. His father tried to activate animas to regain what he lost when Mystogan opened one in reverse. But Mystogan could feel them, after passing by one. And closed each of them.

When Mystogan met Wendy, he felt strange at first. She was five, weak and fragile, and had blue hair. Siegrain died five years ago, was weak and fragile, and had blue heard. He felt close to her rather quickly. He loved her so much…

He did anything for her. And found it easy to take car of her. He always helped Siegrain and Wendy sometimes needed even less efforts than him.

When they had to separate, it broke his little heart. But Faust wanted him dead, the anima affected who he was, made him bleed, he didn’t want Wendy to be harmed. He didn’t want to lose another sibling…

After a while, he arrived at Fairy Tail. He firstly met Polyussica because he was always avoiding people (knowing that he had a counterpart). She met him in the forest but he wasn’t like the other brats. He was calm and silent. And they felt connected (since she, too, passed an anima to end up here). They talked and he was surprise to hear that she was Grandiney, from Edolas. He felt relieved, by logic, this would mean that Wendy’s mother was alive!

After that she made him meet Makarov and he joined Fairy Tail as Mystogan (he chose this name because it was ‘cool’)

I tried to search for “mystogan” etymology. In French, he’s named Mistgun (maybe mist as mystic and gun as… gun). But I found other meaning: a slang for a drug (would be funny with the x-balls), “the protector of all” (it fits), “heaven’s pain” (it fits less) and “love of fire goddess” (don’t fit but my jellatsu’s sense is tingling)

So yeah, he thought it was cool

One day, he closed an anima and a boy with the same face as his appeared. It’s Earthland’s Jellal he believed, but it could be Siegrain too? Murmuring this name wasn’t a good idea because Jellal started a fight, and he won. Poor Mystogan was injured and scared, and his clothes were teared up. Jellal saw his Fairy Tail’s tatoo and smiled. He threated him and told him to watch over Erza and hide his face, otherwise he’ll kill him. He even broke his staves (two now).

Mystogan came back to Fairy Tail a little later for a mission, face hidden in addition of his sleeping spell. Makarov saw his broken staves and asked to talk to him. He told him about this mean Jellal…

He continued his missions and close any anima he fells. He went to see Polyussica sometimes. He trained too, with the staves he fixed and made and learnt how to fight with his bare hands too

One day, Makarov asked him to talk about his twin brother, around 16 years old. He told him about Siegrain and cried (feeling comfortable with Makarov). This is the day Laxus saw him.

After this he tried to avoid Fairy Tail and people as much as he could. He became a S-Class mage at 17 years old, which helped him avoiding the crowd a lot.

With his knowledge about the two worlds and with Siegrain’s medicine, the X-balls, Mystogan helped the Fairy Tail’s member (and Wendy!!) in Edolas. He tried his best to be honest

When everything ended, he was a king… He never wanted to be one but there he is. He now tries his best to be a good king and help his people. He heard about Irene’s death by Erza. But he knows that she joined Siegrain. And knowing that Lily is with Fairy Tail warms his heart

He goes to Siegrain’s grave every week

Today, he is close to Erza Knightwalker. But even though he’s 28, he’s not married yet. He works on his duty as king a lot and kids will come one day. He knows that he will probably call his son Siegrain, if he has a boy.

So yeah

I love him

[foresthuntermajrach]

Also, since you took your time to tell us about your shit @redrose04​, I’ll take my time to talk a little about Mystine (yup, yup a friend called them this and gosh I just love this name)

Also, @kkazoku​ :>

In year X779, after obtaining an S-Rank, Justine went on a lone S-Ranked mission to defend a small city that had been bullied by a Dark Guild. She met there a 14 year old Mystogan, who stoped a lightning attack before it reachesd Jus and helped her in the battle. She proposed he joinined Fairy Tail, but he rejected the proposition at that time and Justine came back to Magnolia and once again went on missions with Raijinshu (which she was part of at that time). They met for the second time in X782 while they were both a part of FT and it was on an S-class mage exam. Jus was an examiner, being an S-class herself for around three years already and she let Mystogan pass, while at the same time discovering how he looks under that mask and recognising him as the kid, that helped her at that time. They went their own ways at that time and later met some time after Ivan Dreyar was expelled from FT and after Justine left Raijinshu, cause of an argument she got in with Laxus (and there goes the destruction of the area around the "argument"). Justine made Mystogan accompany her on one mission and then they parted again and again went on a mission together and after some time grew close (aka were very rarely going on missions without the other's company, which was rather comfortable for Jus, since her sight was worse and worse and she couldn't anymore pick missions, because she just couldn't read the requests.). And so, the bond was formed. At that time they grew more and more attached to each other and even though they both had the knowledge that it may not work out, their friendship evolved into something bigger. Then the Edolas arc came... and yes. They got separated for quite a long time (aka like 9 years..?) and (thanks to my friend that is such a dearie and is writing a fanfic about Justine in Alvarez arc) they reunite because Justine's enemy accidentally breaks the bareer between Earthland and Edolas with his Break-in Magic. Which is shown on the picture above :>

If I was to describe this pair with one word, it'd surely be "fluffy". They're both usually (well, Jus is very damn fierce but seeks calm sm) quiet people that just enjoy each others' presence at any time and mostly while doing simple things like drinking tea, cuddling, bathing in the sun or reading a book together (usually it happens only when the book has magical letters because if it's a normal book, Justine's sight is too weak to read it and when Jus' 20 she doesn't see a thing and if they want to enjoy such book together, Mystogan has to read it out loud). They don't argue much, although there were some “small” disagreements (mostly about some reckless decisions Justine made, because she’s incredibly impulsive).

"Execution? Isn't that... a bit dramatic?" + Mystogan & Knightwalker

"Execution...?" King Jellal questioned, sweat running down the side of his face as he peered into the stern, redheaded knight kneeling before him. "Isn't that... a bit dramatic?"

"Not in the least, my king!" the woman declared, her eyes alit with the force of her resolve. "It's the only fitting punishment for the transgression I have committed against your person; so please allow me to face my punishment with dignity."

Somehow Jellal had never anticipated that when he took over Edolas's throne that he would have to deal with a copy of Erza begging him to execute her over a little spilled wine on his cloak, in front of hundreds of party guests, but then again it was another version of Erza, so maybe he should have (just a little bit).

Day 40: MystLu

On FFN.

On AO3.

Special thank you to @raijindork for proofreading, and to @empressofeverything for helping me out with a prompt!

I really ended up liking this one.  I need to write more for this pairing, as I have a major soft spot for it.

Armada Day 40:

Oathbreaker

Mystogan x Lucy

Oathbreaker.

Lucy had heard the tales, just like everyone else in the village.  And just like the rest, she’d paid the appropriate amount of public shock and disdain for the king that had run from his duty, leaving his brothers to squabble over the throne in his place.  In private, she’d been more or less disinterested in the whole affair. It didn’t matter much to the peasantry who was in charge.  The landowners and the nobles would still treat them like garbage all while using the tax money they’d bled from the people to buy themselves fancy clothes and exorbitant jewelry.  That one of them had fled from such a life was incomprehensible to most.

She had never imagined that she would ever meet the man.  Let alone that he would turn out to be her quiet neighbor, who always kept to himself and was unfailingly polite to her.

Actually, now that she thought about it, that part should have tipped her off.  If there was one thing Lucy had come to expect of men, it was that they always leered the second her chest swung into view.

But that hardly mattered, now.  Her village was gone – burned to the ground.  Her parents’ graves hidden beneath the rubble and soot.  There was nothing left there for her.

All because of the man standing before her, the royal crest that was proof of his identity etched into his face.  All because of the men that had come looking for him, and when they hadn’t succeeded, they’d burned everything.  Because they could.

Mystogan… no, Jellal Faust, stared pleadingly at her.  “I’m sorry,” he whispered.

Lucy had heard many lies over the years.  From her parents, trying to protect her.  From lecherous men, trying to trick her.

But Mystogan’s words weren’t lies.  She could tell instantly just how sincere they were.

So she swallowed thickly, and wiped her eyes with her dirty forearm.  When she had composed herself, she met his gaze head on, with determination. “Then you should fix things,” she told him, stern.  “Fix them, so that this never happens to anyone else.”

The man stared at her for a long moment, before he bowed his head.  “I swear to you: I will keep that promise.”

“Then I’m coming with you.”

His head snapped up, eyes wide with alarm.  “You can’t… that’s foolishness!  What if… I think I’ve already proved that I can’t protect people, yet.  It’s too dangerous.”

Lucy’s jaw was set, her eyes fierce.  She offered him a smile, but there was no joy in it, only the steel of her resolve. “If you think I’m going to trust someone called Oathbreaker to keep a promise, you’ve got another thing coming.  I’m coming with you to make sure you don’t stray from your path again. Are we clear?”

Mystogan stared at her, dumbfounded.  And then a genuine smile spread across his face.  “…Thank you,” he said, and the emotion behind the words nearly broke Lucy’s heart.

“Don’t thank me yet,” she informed him.  “I’ve been told that I’m tough company.”

He laughed lightly. “I think I can deal with that.”

Despite the circumstances, Lucy thought that this was the start of something amazing.  An adventure the likes of which she’d always dreamed.
