Natsu after the whole rewriting his book thing

There’s a little part of me that just keeps saying maybe Lucy didn’t know him quite well enough and messed up his intelligence and who knows what else

There’s my unfortunate head canon, cause I can’t get rid of it and I kind of believe it, but I kinda wish I didn’t

This started off as part of the Lucy Idol AU. Lucy and Natsu’s VAs have music careers so they have pipes. My research stopped at that sentence as I spiralled into a Band AU. The plot is rolling around in brain still.

i find it so much more compelling when natsu has to reconcile with the fact that he could be getting his ass kicked and his family can be in danger but deep down he feels at home he doesn't have the insane prodigal talent of the s-class, shit he's nowhere near as talented as his brother, (not to say he doesn't have any natural talent just compared to those around him he's kinda average), but he has a genuine love for the game even more compelling is natsu actually having to grapple with his pride as a warrior or take the countless hand out power ups the plot gives him to save his family because he just wasn't strong enough to win without the stars aligning

he will take the hand out when he has to for the sake of the guild, always, but as a side effect he walks away from every fight secretly frustrated with himself beyond reckoning while everyone else is celebrating
