K for the FanFic Asks? You have alot of angsty ideas but I'm curious if you have some you haven't written yet, or which one you have written is your angsty-est.
oh man, this is a great question. this is actually one i haven’t written and don’t know if i will, and it’s all @thedarkgodmogar ’s fault (or at least 80% of it is). [spoilers if you haven’t read sanctuary/aftermath/be my sanctuary]
so in ‘be my sanctuary,’ gray and rogue both die but are revived at the end of the first book. this is basically an au where they don’t come back and both natsu and sting end up grieving the loss of their partners. natsu has the support of the guild but sting still doesn’t feel at home in fairy tail, and he ends up getting found by the shadow that had been possessing rogue. instead of fighting it, he lets it in because it’s the last thing he has that reminds him of rogue.
"I know what you are," Sting murmurs, closing his eyes as the shadows sink into his skin. It's been so long since the darkness has flown through him and it feels like soft whispers and dark nights.
"Aren't you going to fight me?" the Shadow asks. Its voice should hurt but it's just enough of Rogue that it aches and aches.
"No," Sting says softly, letting himself go to the darkness that had always loved him. "No, I'm not."
IT GETS WORSE. so sting gets taken over and ends up becoming the villain, and natsu feels so guilty that he ends up spending the next few years trying to come up with a way to save sting. and in the end...
"It's okay," Natsu says softly, taking another step forward. Darkness flits across the Shadow's face and he snarls. He looks nothing like the boy that Natsu couldn't save.
"It's not." The Shadow's voice is so rough and it hurts, deep in Natsu's chest. "It can't be."
"I'm not talking to you," Natsu says. He takes another step, pushing through the raging storm of grief and darkness between them. "Sting, listen to me. It's going to be okay."
"He's gone," the Shadow snarls. "He doesn't care about you." Sharp threads of white and black spiral out of him, speeding toward Natsu, but Natsu burns them away before they hit him. Ash hangs heavy in the air between them. Natsu moves closer.
"I know it hurts." The aching sea of grief swells in Natsu's chest and he chokes the words out around the lump in his throat.
"Leave me alone!" The rough edges of the Shadow's voice soften, blurred by regret. "I couldn't--it wasn't..."
Natsu darts forward as the storm subsides for a second, making it across the broken ground and grabbing both of the shadow's wrists.
"Don't!" The Shadow yanks against Natsu's grip, teeth bared, dark marks twisting down his arms and across his face. "This is the only way." The darkness burns Natsu's hands where he's touching the Shadow and he grits his teeth against the pain, refusing to let go.
"Sting," he says softly. "Please." He's crying now, tears of regret and shame and deep, blinding grief. "I'm going to fix this." The Shadow stills. Natsu pulls him closer, ignoring the searing pain that burns through him, and wraps a hand around the back of the Shadow’s head.
"Please," he says again, voice broken. "It's going to be over soon."
There's a tense pause, then all the tension bleeds out of the Shadow and the dark eyes start to clear to a bright, crystal blue.
"Promise?" It's Sting's voice now, and he sounds so, so tired. Natsu nods, managing a smile as he holds Sting closer.
"I promise." He kisses Sting's forehead and Sting's expression shifts to something peaceful and relieved.
"Okay," he whispers. He leans forward into Natsu's embrace, wrapping his arms around Natsu's waist. Natsu exhales, pulling all of his magic between them, dredging up every last bit of energy until it's thrumming between them. Then he lets go, and the last thing he thinks as the fire explodes around him is, I'll see you soon, Gray.
anyway i’m gonna go cry again now because i’m hurting my own feelings.
