My wife (Minerva) + ⚧ ❓♥️🧡📖 🥖? (Sorry i ask too many emojis, it's the brainrot 😅)

Character Emoji Ask

⚧- Pronoun headcanon

She/They. I think she mostly uses She/Her, but after Tartaros, I think she became comfortable with They/Them too. I hc her as transfem and and demigirl.

❤️- Otp

Yukinerva. I love them so much, I love the idea Yukino being the ray of light that pulls Minerva out of the darkness. Sting and Rogue brought her back to Saber, but Yukino is the reason they stays.

🧡- Everyone I ship with this character

Yukino, Sorano, Lucy, and Laki are the top I can think of. Also Gajeel and Rogue in a GNC/NB sense. Minerva is top tier, mean lesbian turned soft.

📖- AU I’d like to see them in

My God/desses AU. I love my demigod! Minerva, I think I made her really cool.

🥖- Food headcanon

Minerva hates all things bitter or sour. She can’t stand dark chocolate or straight black coffee, she needs sweet things.

❓- Anything else you want!

Minerva doesn’t get rid of demonic attributes from Porlyusia. Not only had she gotten used to them, but they wanted them as a reminder. To remind her not to slip back into the darkness.

Thanks so much for the ask!! <3 I have been travelling for the past couple days but finally finished this when I got off of work today!

Prompt: "What is wrong with you?"

Ao3

___________________________________

It was hard to decide what to do as a first date, but nonetheless baking was going to suffice for today. Minerva eyed every single utensil on the counter and leveled all the ingredients out. She organized everything simply and hoped that this couple of hours would ride out smoothly. There was a plan. 

A ring of the doorbell and Minerva knew it was time. If fighting couldn’t woo Lucy, then she was sure that her world class kitchen would. 

Opening the door, the blonde stood in awe. “Something wrong Lucy?” 

She walked right past her, turning to look at every crevice that her eyes could settle upon. She had come equipped with her keys and whip. “Y’know when you ask someone on a date, first date,” drawing out the phrase she quipped, “nonetheless, you should tell them where you’re going. What plans you have in mind too.” 

Minerva chuckled at her hesitation and gestured through the hallway. She was no womanizer but was good at playing the game. “I thought you would be fond of surprises. I already have everything set up in the kitchen.” 

“I do like them, but the timing has to be good.” Lucy walked up to the kitchen counter and wasn’t fazed by the sheer amount of equipment settled everywhere. “So this is what you had in mind?” 

Minerva shrugged, pulling a piece of paper from her pocket. “We’ll be making an apple pie. Not too hard but it will be challenging.” 

“You sure? I’ve burnt chocolate chip cookies before,” Lucy bit her lip and chuckled awkwardly, “That part was mostly due to Natsu.” 

Minerva chuckled along, knowing all about his childish antics from her fellow dragon slayers. “I will be with you every step of the way.” 

Lucy pursed her lips, staring at the apples before her. Tentatively the blonde held the luscious green apple and frowned. “Would you be mad if I told you a small secret?” 

But what secret could Lucy have? She was practically an open book. “I may have little patience but I couldn’t get mad over your opinions.” Which was true considering how much they had opened up to one another. 

Lucy kept her eyes trained upon the apple, “Apples are not my favorite fruit.” 

Minerva couldn’t believe it! Who didn’t like apples? She asked Yukino if her date would love apple pie and the celestial mage was nothing but assuring on her decisions. She couldn’t decide whether to be concerned or shocked, “What’s wrong with you?” 

“Well, I meant granny-smith apples. They are a little too tart. Would you be able to do Fiji ones instead, those are so sweet!” Lucy placed the apple back in the basket, inching closer to Minerva. Her sweet charms were placed in Minerva’s basket and she couldn’t deny Lucy her wishes. 

With a sigh of relief, “As you wish, we can walk to the convenience store.”

Hand in hand, they walked through the chilly night. Minerva was sure that an apple pie would never be able to warm her heart as much as Lucy's intertwined grip.

Okay, MinLu has grown on me quite a lot. I used to not be much of a fan, but as time went on and I ran out of fics about the ships that mainly liked, I decided to give it a chance. I'm honestly surprised at how few MinLu fics there are. From what I have seen, there are more Jackal x Lucy fics than there are Minerva x Lucy fics. Moving on from that, though, MinLu isn't too bad, honestly. I haven't made my love of the Hero x Villain/Reformed Villain trope a secret. I LOVE it. So, the fact that MinLu has really grown on me shouldn't be very surprising. I think that they look great, so I really like them together. 

I hope you enjoy!

Falling in Love with an Old Enemy (Minerva x Lucy ft. Natsu)

Lucy and Minerva made their way to Fairy Tail, hand-in-hand. Blonde looked at her girlfriend with a smile, stopping when she saw that she was visibly nervous. Lucy turned to face Minerva and asked, "what's wrong, Min?" 

The woman from Sabertooth was silent for a few moments before she looked up at her girlfriend and said, "are you sure that they'll accept our relationship?" 

Lucy kissed Minerva's forehead and answered, "of course. I promise that my guildmates won't care that we're together. After all, your guild was fine with us."

Minerva chuckled at the memory of when they had announced their relationship to Sabertooth. All were perfectly fine with the fact, Yukino lost her mind with happiness, and Sting asked the two women what their sexualities were. 

Lucy pulled Minerva into a short kiss, saying when they pulled away, "Fairy Tail doesn't judge anybody, you know that. They won't care that we're together." 

Minerva looked in the direction of the Fairy Tail guild, questioning, "about all of the things that I've done? Befriending someone who has hurt you is one thing, but dating them is different." 

Lucy brought her hands up to cup that black-haired woman's face, softly telling her, "Min, I promise, they will not have a problem with our relationship. We might be asking a lot of questions by Mira, but nobody will have a problem. Nobody holds any of what you did against you." Minerva sighed and smiled at Lucy, leaning forward for another kiss. The pair pulled away and resumed their walking. 

Upon reaching the guildhall, Lucy stepped in front of her girlfriend, asking, "are you sure you still want to do this?"

She watched as Minerva looked at the closed doors of the guildhall, her brow scrunched up in uncertainty and nervousness. Lucy was excited to tell her guildmates about her relationship, but she doesn't want to if her girlfriend wasn't comfortable with it just yet. 

She took the Sabertooth mage's hand into both of hers and cooed, "we can just go back to my apartment and do this another day."

Minerva exclaimed, "but, you want to do this! And we already told my guild!"

Lucy shook her head, whispering, "I'd rather you tell me that you're uncomfortable with doing something than do it just to make me happy. You're very important to me, Min. I love you. I don't want you to feel pressured to announce our relationship to my guild. If you aren't sure about this, then we can go do something else." 

Minerva wrapped her arms around the celestial wizard, pulling her into a hug. Lucy returned the hug tightly, being careful to not hug her too tightly. They remained like that for a few moments before pulling away. Minerva took a deep breath and released it before she spoke, "I'm sure about this."

Lucy tilted her head forward slightly, ensuring, "really? Are you sure?"

Minerva nodded her head, biting her lip. "I'm just anxious, I guess."

Lucy gave her a soft smile and stepped forward to stand right beside her girlfriend, hooking her arm with Minerva's. She chirped, "let's do this then!" She pushed open the doors, shouting to her guildmates, "I have great news!" 

All of the mages turned to look at the two women. Minerva blushed lightly and held onto her girlfriend's arm as Lucy pulled her closer, announcing with a grin, "Minerva and I are dating!"

Immediately after the announcement, the Fairy Tail mages broke into cheering, calling out their congratulations to the couple. Lucy smiled at Minerva, telling her, "see, they don't care."

Minerva returned the smile with one of her own, responding, "I guess I was overreacting." 

Lucy shook her head as she spoke again, "no, you were just anxious. That's perfectly understandable."

The guild quieted down and everybody's attention was directed toward the second floor of the guild when Makarov questioned loudly, "what's going on?"

Mira squealed from where she stood behind the bar, encasing her sister in a bone-crushing hug, "Lucy and Minerva are dating!"

Makarov turned his gaze onto the couple who were still standing in front of the entrance to the guild. He was silent for a few moments, causing Minerva to shift anxiously. Was he going to disapprove of their relationship? Was he going to demand that they break up? The Guild Master grinned at them as he threw up his arms into the air and shouted, "let's celebrate!" 

The guild wasted no time in breaking into a party. Lucy laughed and pulled Minerva over to the bar, sitting down with her on the stools. Mira strolled over, asking, "how long have you two been together?"

Lucy proclaimed proudly as she wrapped her arm around her girlfriend and pulled her closer, "almost a year." 

Mira clapped her hands, a large grin gracing her face. She then placed her hands on the bar, leaned forward across the bar toward Minerva, and questioned, "what's your sexuality, Minerva? I know that Lucy is pansexual. What about you?" 

Minerva leaned away from the white-haired woman, responding, "um...what?"

Lucy sighed as she pushed Mira away, "not you too."

Mira exclaimed, "I'm just curious!" 

"That's none of your business!"

"Is she pansexual like you?"

"That's none of your business!" 

Minerva laughed at the pair before she turned to Mira and answered, "I'm a lesbian."

Mira clapped her hands, cheering, "that's great!" She then clamped her hands together in front of her chest and asked, "would either of you like something?"

Lucy requested, "my usual, please."

Minerva smiled as she also requested, "the same thing as Lucy, please."

Mira nodded and walked away to get their strawberry milkshakes. Minerva turned around in her seat and looked at the partying mages. She spotted Erza and Gray sitting at a table across from Natsu. She raised an eyebrow in confusion. Why weren't Lucy's teammates approaching her to talk? It was strange. Deciding that she wanted to befriend them, the Sabertooth mage turned to Lucy, telling her, "I'll be right back." Lucy nodded and she stepped off of the stool she was sitting on. Making her way over to the three mages, she soon stopped when she came into earshot of them. 

"Look, man, it's not something you can control, so let it go." Gray crossed his arms over his chest, predictably shirtless. 

Natsu moaned, "why did she have to fall in love with a Sabor?" He then dropped his head onto the table. 

Erza shook her head, scolding, "Lucy can fall in love with anybody. You have no right to criticize who she falls for. Minerva has redeemed herself. Everything she's done is in the past. It is time to let it go."

Natsu jerked his head up to look at his two teammates and demanded, almost angrily, "have you forgotten what she did to Luce? How can Luce date her?"

Gray narrowed his eyes at the dragon slayer, "and you think that Lucy should date you? You didn't even realize that you loved her until the announcement!"

Natsu slammed a fist onto the table, exclaiming to his two friends, "why couldn't Luce fall for me? Minerva tortured her! All I have done is protect her!" 

Erza glared at him angrily as she almost yelled, "that isn't how it works! Lucy has forgiven Minerva and she doesn't owe you a relationship with her!"

Minerva didn't linger to hear more. Instead, she made her way to the guild's doors and pushed them open, walking away from the guildhall. She didn't know where she was going, but she did know that she didn't want to be in that guild. 

Natsu was right, she didn't deserve Lucy. She was a horrible person for such a long time. She tortured Lucy. She shouldn't be dating her. The black-haired woman wrapped her arms around herself, a failed attempt at trying to comfort herself. She felt tears well up in her eyes, but she didn't bother to wipe them away. Natsu was a better option for Lucy. He protected her while all she did was hurt her. 

As Minerva walked, stuck in her thoughts, she was stopped by a hand gripping her shoulder and pulling her back. The Sabertooth mage turned around to see Lucy, tears brimming her brown eyes which were filled with confusion and concern. The blonde asked with a whisper, "why did you leave? What's wrong, Min?"

Minerva stepped backward, away from Lucy. She looked down at the ground as she answered in a hushed tone, "we shouldn't be together." 

Lucy exclaimed, her voice sounding hurt, "why? I thought you were happy with me!"

"Of course I'm happy with you!" 

"Then why do you want to break up?"

"Because I hurt you! Because Natsu would be better for you! Because I don't deserve you!"

Tears streamed down her cheeks as Lucy lunged forward and pulled her into a tight hug. Minerva stood in place, unable to bring herself to push her girlfriend away. She wanted to, but the embrace was so familiar, so comforting, that she couldn't. Instead, she buried her face into Lucy's shoulder and allowed the tears to fall, sniffling occasionally. 

She then heard Lucy speak, her voice dripping with sorrow, "you've been forgiven for all of the things that you've done. I've forgiven you for the things that you've done. I love you, Min. Natsu is my best friend, and I do love him, but not in the way that I love you. I don't want him. I want you. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to feel loved. I know that you're still going through things. I know that you're still hurting. I will always be here. I promise, I will stay by your side and help you through this." She pulled away from Minerva and looked her in the eye with a tearful smile, tightening her grip on the black-haired woman's shoulders. She whispered, "I love you, Minerva."

Minerva let out a sob as she wrapped her arms around Lucy, pulling her into another hug. The couple allowed silence to fall upon them, relishing in the comforting feel of each other's arms around the other. When they finally pulled away, they shared a kiss and made their way to Lucy's apartment.

Lucy: What are you doing?

Minerva: *laying bundled up on a couch* I think I'm dying, but then again this 40 degree fever may be clouding my judgement.

- yours for the night

Lucy had always loved Minerva, and even if it was wrong, and hurt, and made her the worst person in the world, she would do anything to be Minerva’s for just one night.

Minerva x Lucy - TW: Cheating, Nudity - The One That Got Away - 15 / 29

for @newgeht​

Lucy had loved Minerva since the first time she had seen her. It was an impulse, an instinct which came as natural to her as breathing; loving Minerva was what Lucy had been born to do, and felt it every second they had spent together since Minerva had become her editor. But Minerva was married to a woman who was just the more timid version of Lucy, and even if she was jealous she could never come to truly hate Yukino. It was not her fault that Lucy felt this way, and the blonde was not about to cause any problems for the woman she loved. 

“Minerva-”

“Don’t.” Minerva snapped, and Lucy’s mouth closed, teeth dragging painfully along her bottom lip, eyes cast down to her naked lap. 

“I’m sorry.” 

Minerva clipped on her bra, ran her fingers through her hair, gaze everywhere apart from Lucy’s face. That was worse, somehow. Lucy could cope with the guilt, and the pain, but shame? That was a new feeling, and she hated it. 

“We can never speak of this.” Minerva swivelled on her heel to find her blouse. “And it cannot affect our working life.” 

Every nerve in her body felt cold and numb, but still Lucy nodded. 

“Of course not.” 

She watched as Minerva buttoned up her shirt, covering the body that had been pressed against Lucy less than an hour ago. It seemed surreal that this had even happened. After so long simply wanting, Lucy had been able to take. It didn’t feel nearly as good as she has hoped. 

Minerva’s phone rang, and she answered without hesitation. 

“Yuki! How are you, darling?” 

Pulling on her shoes and grabbing her bag, Minerva spoke quietly to her wife, as though nothing at all had happened. And maybe that was all Lucy was to her; nothing. The blonde choked back the tears, refusing to cry with Minerva still present. 

“I’m on my way home now.” 

With one foot out the door, Minerva did not look back, leaving Lucy naked and alone in the bed they had made together, Lucy’s hands gripped the tangled sheets, voice breaking around each syllable of the other woman’s name. 

“I love you, Minerva.” 

She paused for only for a moment before continuing the conversation with her with her wife, letting the door swing close behind her. When it clicked shut, Lucy let the tears come, curling in on herself with her knees pressed against her chest, hoping that the sheer strength of her grip would be enough to hold herself together.
