Lucy is my favorite character in Fairy Tail, so I enjoy shipping her with a lot of characters. There are only a few that I don't ship her with, if you're not including characters that are old enough to be her father (like Macao) and children (like Wendy) on that list of characters I don't ship with Lucy. 

Anyways, I have some rules and notes to make clear before we move on with the oneshots. 

1. I DO NOT WRITE ANY SEXUAL OR DARK CONTENT. That kind of stuff makes me uncomfortable and I refuse to write it in detail. 

2. I will not do Lucy x Reader or Lucy x OC oneshots. Only Lucy x Fairy Tail Character. 

3. I will write continuation parts for certain oneshots, but only if requested. 

4. I will write poly ships (example: Sting x Lucy x Rogue)

5. All you need to do is request a character for Lucy. You may also give a specific scenario or idea if you have one. 

6. The only characters I will not pair with Lucy are Jackal, Mard Geer, Yukino, Flare, Doranbolt, Lahar, Lucy's Spirits (except Loke), and Natsu. If you want my reasons for any of these characters, then I will give you my reasons, just as long as you are polite and respectful about my reasons and opinions. 

7. I will give my own opinions on requested ships at the beginning of the oneshot, because why not? I assure you though, I do not hate any ships, I'm always either indifferent to or favorable of ships.

8. Some characters may be difficult for me to write, so some requests may take some time. Please be patient.

9. Homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, etc will not be tolerated here. Please be respectful and polite. 

I will also be posting oneshots on Wattpad and AO3 if you prefer one of those sites. My name on AO3 and Wattpad is AthenaGray93. I may also post some of my own oneshots that I come up with on my own.

Day 5: Wish - Lucy/Lyon

small gift for @vasutia, featuring her crack otp !!

1. Tell us about your WIP!

I have so many WIPs... where to begin...?

How about Fimbulvetr, since I want to start posting that one soon.

It takes place after the Fairy Tail guild is reformed, and Erza has been named guild master.  Lyon stops by to congratulate them, visit Wendy and Gray, and to deliver invitations to Sherry and Ren’s wedding.  His lingering feelings for Juvia still cause him some trouble, and Lucy, struggling with her own issues with Natsu and her team, is able to pick it out.  She suggests that they go on a job together - to get their minds off their problems, mostly.  Lyon accepts, and they head off to their job in pretty high spirits.

But they chose a job that had more to it than was advertised.   It’s soon clear that it’s way above their ability to handle, and they become stranded on a snowbound mountain infested with monsters immune to most magic.  Getting off the mountain alive, much less with the job completed, won’t be easy.

It is a Lyon x Lucy fic, but romance isn’t the main goal of the story.  It’ll be suspense or horror.  Haven’t fully decided yet.  There are three main scenes that need to be completed, and then I need to work on the transitional scenes and the final battle.  I’m hoping to be able to post the first chapter within the next couple of months!  (It’ll be a long one - it’s already at 30k!)

7. Favorite/most inspirational book?

Probably “Song In The Silence” by Elizabeth Kern.  It’s a book that’s stuck with me for over a decade, and it just captured my imagination.  The other two books in the trilogy are great, too!  I just... really, really love this series.

17. What things (scenes/topics/character types) are you most comfortable writing?

This is a reincarnation AU and takes place in the modern world.

I hope you enjoy!

Want to Have Coffee with Me? (Lyon x Lucy)

Reincarnation.

It is a phenomenon in which someone is reborn into a new life. The belief in this is ranged among the people of the world. Some believe in it, but others don't. It's a topic of debate, fueled by stories of children remembering events that they couldn't possibly have experienced personally.

The boy who remembered having been a firefighter. The girl who had memories of being a wife and mother. The twins who could recall being twins at another point in time. Deja vu, when you have an experience that feels familiar despite having never actually been through it, is often times attributed to reincarnation.

Have you ever had a line of dialogue that was stuck in your head despite having never actually heard it? Well, Lucy has, and it's been roaming through her mind during all of her lifetimes. A simple question. Six short words. She's heard a voice that wasn't hers say it in her head at the most random of times, and this had been happening since she was a child. 

"Want to have coffee with me?" 

Centuries in the past, when this cycle of reincarnation first began, a young heiress walked through her hometown, her hands holding up the front of her gown's skirts to allow for easier walking. She was making her way back home from visiting a close friend. She sighed, dreading the moment she would step foot into her father's mansion. She knew that she shouldn't have left without any bodyguards or a chariot, but she just wanted to walk through Magnolia, not ride in a loud chariot and without being flanked by men who were being paid by her father to scare off any person who would even attempt to talk to her. 

She looked at the cobblestoned road, watching as men and women passed by, middle-class people going for evening walks, judging by their clothes. Lucy looked back ahead. She looked to her other side and noticed that she was walking by a coffeehouse. She stopped and peered inside at the people who were sitting around and sipping on hot coffee.

As she watched, a voice broke her our of her thoughts, "what are you doing out here?" 

Lucy turned to see an attractive, young man approached her. His hair was a pale-blue color while his tailcoat and vest were dark blue, his pants were black, and his shirt was white. The man stopped right next to her and raised an eyebrow, waiting for her answer. 

Lucy responded after she turned her full body to face him, "passing by." 

"Alone?"

"Why not? Is this area dangerous?" 

"No, it's just not proper for a lady to be out for a walk alone. I'm sure your father wouldn't like this." 

"How do you know what my father would and wouldn't like?"

The man crossed his arms over his chest as he answered simply, "you're Lady Lucy Heartfilia, are you not?" 

Lucy's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. How did this man know who she was when she didn't know who he was? She questioned, "how do you-" 

The man interupted her, saying, "I'm Lyon Vastia. I saw you at last month's ball." 

Lucy stared at him in surprise. The Vastia family was below her own in terms of power and wealth, but not by much. She had expected to meet another member of the upper-class were middle-class families resided and lower-class men and women worked. 

She quickly recovered, smiling back at him and responding, "I'm surprised to see you hear. What have you been up to? I hope it's not mischief." 

Lyon chuckled, "no, not at all. I was merely visiting a friend. And you?" 

"Visiting a friend." 

Lyon gave a short hummed and looked into the coffeehouse that they were standing next to. He then looked back at Lucy, asking, "have you ever tried coffee?" When Lucy shook her head, the pale-blue-haired man offered his arm to her and inquired, "want to have coffee with me?" Lucy smiled as she hooked her arm with his and allowed him to lead her into the coffeehouse. 

Ever since that lifetime, Lucy and Lyon had been destined to meet and fall in love in every one of their lives. And each time, the romance would begin with that one question.

"Want to have coffee with me?" 

In the modern day, Lucy spent several days in a row at her college library, either researching for an essay, or studying for quizzes. She was exhausted and at the point where she was thinking that maybe dropping out of college wasn't that bad of an idea. 

She groaned as her head dropped onto the open book in front of her. She let go of her pencil and let her hand rest on top of her not-even-half-written essay. Her hand was aching, her brain was hurting, and she was tired. 

Several minutes passed by before the blonde lifted her body back up to sit semi-straight in her seat. She looked down at the table in front of her, eyeing the several open books and few handwritten essays that littered the surface of the table. She sighed, wondering if she really did need this literature degree. 

She was muling it over when she heard a man's laughter. She looked up to find a man standing by her table and staring down at her in amusement. Her lips pouted slightly as she questioned, "what?" 

She looked him up and down as he moved around to sit on the chair that was across the table from her. He was dressed in black pants, dark blue hoodie, and his hair was a pale-blue color. He leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed over his chest. 

After a few moments of silence, the man spoke, "you look like you need a pick-me-up." 

Lucy raised an eyebrow, asking, "a what?" 

"A pick-me-up, somehting that'll give you some energy, like coffee." 

Lucy sighed, "coffee would be great right now." 

"Want to go get some?"

"...we don't even know each other." 

The man chuckled before he responded, "right. I'm Lyon." 

Lucy gave him a scrutinizing look before she returned, "I'm Lucy." 

Lyon stood up and walked around the table, holding out his hand toward her. "Want to have coffee with me?" 

Here is a fluffy, snowy oneshot for the winter season. 

I hope you enjoy!

Snow Day (Lyon x Lucy)

Lyon walked through the snowy streets of Magnolia, a smile growing on his face as he made his way to Fairy Tail's guildhall. It was a nice, cold, snow-filled, winter day and he wanted to spend it with his girlfriend. 

Upon arriving at the guild, he pushed the large, wooden doors open to find that the mages inside were in the midst of one of their infamous brawls. This was to be expected, of course. He looked toward the bar, expecting Lucy to be sitting there, however, she wasn't. So, he decided to walk over to the bar and asked Mira, "where is Lucy?" 

Mira smiled at him before responding, "here to see your girlfriend, are you? I'm still waiting for some babies from the two of you." 

"Well, keep waiting. Where is Lucy?" 

The white-haired woman chuckled and answered, "she's still at her apartment." 

Lyon thanked her and turned around, walking back to the doors to leave. He heard Gray call out to him, but ignored him as he exited the guildhall. He continued to walk through the ice and snow-covered streets until he came to Lucy's apartment. He knocked and waited for his girlfriend to answer. 

When he heard her muffled voice respond with "come in," he opened the door and stepped inside, finding that Lucy was bundled up on her bed. He raised an eyebrow as he observed her before laughing as he walked toward her. He sat on the bed and looked at her, seeing that she was wrapped tightly in her comforter as she sipped on a cup of hot chocolate, an open book next to her. 

Lyon asked, giving her an amused smile, "are you comfortable?" 

Lucy nodded, adding, "and warm." 

The ice-make mage stood up and unwrapped his girlfriend, telling her, "well, too bad, because you and I are going to build snowmen." 

Lucy whined as she pushed him away with one hand, "no! I want to stay where it's warm!" 

Lyon laughed, managing to pull Lucy off of the bed. He took the cup of hot chocolate out of her hands and sat it on a nearby table. He pecked a kiss onto her pouting lips and asked, "can we please go build a snowman?" 

He watched with a sense of victory as Lucy sighed and made her way to her closet, pull out some winter clothes, and walk into her bathroom, closing the door a bit loudly. The pale blue-haired man chuckled and sat on his girlfriend's bed to wait for her. 

When Lucy reemerged, she had a frown on her face. She was dressed in a pair of jeans, a shirt, a dark blue jacket with brown furred trim along the hood, black gloves, and black snow boots with white furred trim around the opening of their openings. 

Lyon, excited to have a day of snowy fun with his girlfriend, jumped up and grabbed her hand, dragging her toward the door. They exited the apartment and made their way to a nearby open space. Once there, Lyon turned to his girlfriend and instructed, "make the bottom part while I make the other two parts." 

Lucy smiled at him as she asked, "how exactly do I do that?" 

"Have you seriously never built a snowman?"

"Of course not!" 

Lyon chuckled before he explained, "make a snowball and roll it around while patting it with your hands. It needs to be big and round." 

Once Lucy had nodded and walked away, Lyon also set about rolling two snowballs. He occasionally looked over at Lucy, seeing that she was rolling the bottom snowball, a noticeable smile on her face. He smiled at the sight, knowing that even though she wasn't fond of the cold, she was still enjoying their activity together. 

Lyon had finished the second snowball and was just about to work on the top one when Lucy called to him, "I'm done, Lyon!" 

The ice-make mage looked over and his mouth dropped open at the sight of her creation. The bottom snowball was huge, much more than he expected. Lucy was standing beside it, looking proud of herself. He walked toward her, still staring down at the large snowball. It reached his knees. He looked at his girlfriend and questioned, "how did you make this so fast?"

Lucy laughed at his surprise and answered, "I don't know. I guess I have a talent." 

"Clearly." 

"Anything else we need for the snowman?" 

"A bunch of rocks, a carrot, and a hat." 

Lucy nodded and dashed off to collect the requested items. Lyon then looked back at the snowball in front of him. He gave a sigh, deciding to use the snowball he had just made as the top part of the snowman. He then started working on the middle part. 

He had finished the middle snowball when Lucy returned with a carrot, rocks, and a black tophat. Lyon smiled at her saying, "grab the top part" and pointed at the smallest, but still quite large, snowball. The two mages picked up their respective snowballs and walked over to the bottom one, stacking the three parts of their snowman on top of each other. 

Once completing that, Lyon pressed the black, round rocks into the snowman's face and Lucy stuck the carrot into it to make a nose and place the tophat on top of the snowman's head. The couple took a look at their snowy creation. 

Before Lyon could say anything, Lucy rushed away from him. He turned around and watched curiously as his girlfriend shifted through some of the snow, picked up some things, and returned rushed back to him. The blonde quickly stuck a stick into each side of the snowman's torso before she stepped back to observe their finished project. 

Lyon chuckled and wrapped his arm around his girlfriend, pulling her against his side. After several moments of silence, he asked, "how about we make some hot chocolate and cuddle?" 

So, I really, really like LyLu. Like many of my other Lucy ships, I don't know why I love it. I really like Lyon and I guess I enjoy the ship for the same reasons that I enjoy GraLu. I think that Lyon and Lucy would make a pretty good couple, or at the very least great friends. Too bad they don't really get good moments together. I also grieve the fact that there aren't a lot of LyLu fics. Seriously, there is a surprisingly small amount of fics about them. I have found more MardLu fics than LyLu. If you know of any LyLu fics, then please give me the names or links. 

I hope you enjoy! 

Rescuing Gray (Lyon x Lucy ft. Gray)

Lyon sat at a table with Sherry, Juvia, Natsu, and Erza. He and his guildmate were visiting Fairy Tail. Though Sherry had visited because she wanted to chat with her friends, Lyon had visited for two different reasons. To fight Gray, and to talk to Lucy. Upon arrival, he learned that Gray had taken a solo job, which left him with the other reason he had decided to visit Fairy Tail. 

The Ice-Make mage was now sitting at a table with a few chatting mages, ignoring them as he stared at the celestial wizard who was sitting at the bar while sipping on a strawberry milkshake and reading a book. Lyon furrowed his brow, silently yelling at himself to get the hell up and go talk to her, but his body wouldn't move, a feeling of nervousness coiling around in his gut. 

As he struggled to make himself approach the woman who he had fallen for, Lyon felt a hand rest on his shoulder. He looked at the mage next to him, seeing Sherry giving him a sympathetic smile. She leaned toward him to whisper in his ear, "go ask her what she's reading." 

Lyon looked back at Lucy, a wave of anxiousness washed over him at the mere thought of talking to her. He attempted to gulp down the lump in his throat. He was too frozen to move, no matter how much he wanted to. Before he could react, Sherry grabbed him by his arm and pulled him toward Lucy before stopping halfway and pushing him toward the blonde woman. 

Lyon stumbled a bit before he finally found his footing. He looked back at Sherry, sending the grinning, pink-haired woman a glare that said 'I'm going to make you pay.' He was about launch his vengeance when he heard Lucy ask, "Lyon? Is there something you need?"

The pale blue-haired man tensed before he turned around to look at the woman. He saw that she was looking at him with a mixture of surprise and confusion, a pink blush dusted across her cheeks in an alluring way. He mustered a smile as he responded, hoping that his voice didn't give away his anxiousness, "I-um...just wanted to know...what you were reading?"

Lucy looked down at the book that she was holding in her hands before she looked back up at Lyon with a bright smile, answering, "it's called 'Rescuing Dawn'. It's about a couple of friends named Lee and James who go on a journey to save their other friend Dawn from some demonic creatures. During the journey, they fall in love." 

Lyon hesitantly walked forward, sitting next to her as he questioned, "could you tell me more?" When Lucy smiled at him and nodded, he felt his cheeks warm up and his gut become filled with butterflies. He loved her smile. It was just so beautiful, in his eyes. When Lucy opened the book again to talk more about it, he leaned closer, his blush becoming darker but not able to bring himself to lean away from her. He then glanced at the blonde next to him, noticing almost immediately that her earlier blush had darkened. 

Lyon stared at her face, a blush painted across her cheeks and a smile that appeared to be almost shy evident. He silently questioned if it was possible that she could feel the same way about him, or could it be that she was just reacting this way because of their close proximity? 

He continued to stare down at her, both wondering if she had romantic feelings for him too while also marveling at how beautiful she was. He was then brought out of his thoughts when he felt Lucy's hand resting on his cheek. Lyon tensed once again as he felt his cheeks heat up. Lucy stared up at him with a concerned gaze. The Ice-Make mage leaned away from her and coughed into his fist, his throat suddenly dry. He waved at Mira, requesting a drink for him to hopefully relieve the dryness of his throat. 

When a glass of water was sat down in front of him, the barmaid giving him a knowing smirk, he downed it, the cold water bringing just enough relief for him to speak when Lucy asked him if he was alright, "yeah, I'm fine. Sorry, Lucy, I just zoned out." 

He stared down at the empty glass as he tightened his grip on it, refusing to look at the celestial wizard due to how red he knew his cheeks were. Lucy was silent for a few moments before she responded, "alright..." Her voice trailed off and her tone made her sound as though she was sad or disappointed. Lyon felt his heart twist a little, feeling like he was the reason that she may be sad.

He looked over at her, seeing that she was looking down at her book that was sitting on top of the bar. The pale blue-haired man opened his mouth to ask if she was alright, wanting to comfort her and relieve any sadness that she may have. However, he was stopped before he could speak when Makarov called to the pair from where he stood on the railing of the second floor of the guildhall, "Lucy! Lyon! I have a mission for you both!" 

Lyon and Lucy looked at each other before they hurried up to Makarov's office to see what he needed them to do. 

"Star Shot!" Lucy called as she shot several arrows at the demon-like creature that she and Lyon were fighting. 

The two of them had been called onto by Makarov to travel into the mountains and save Gray. Apparently, he had gone to fight a monster, but was injured in the fight, leaving him unable to continue. Lucy and Lyon quickly accepted the mission and rushed into the mountains. 

If Lucy was being honest, she was thankful for the rescue mission. She had been sitting at Fairy Tail's bar, trying to get her mind off of the fact that the man she loved was sitting at a table near her. She then was approached by said man and dared to be hopeful when he asked about her book and she noticed that he was blushing as he stared at her, seeming to be lost in his thoughts. She was hoping that he would confess to her, but the hope was crushed when he claimed that he had merely zoned out. This rescue mission meant that she could distract herself from her possibly unrequited love for Lyon. 

She heard Lyon yell, "Ice-Make: Snow Tiger!" as she turned to look back at Gray, seeing that he was still unconscious. She furrowed her brow. They had to end this monster before Gray's condition got worse. 

The celestial wizard turned back to the monster and switched to her "Star Dress: Cancer Form." She ran at the beast and began slashing at it with her twin blades. The monster was a giant, black-furred gorilla-like creature. According to the requester, it was possibly a Demon of Zeref. 

Lucy jumped onto the monster's arm and ran up it, aiming to slash at its eyes with the hope that doing so would give her and Lyon an advantage. Just as she went for the attack, she was smacked away and crashed into a large boulder with a cry of pain. She heard Lyon call out to her, "Lucy!" as she managed to pull herself to her feet with a groan of pain. 

She called back to her fighting partner, "I'm alright!" Then, she switched to her "Star Dress: Virgo Form" and rushed back into the fight, only to skid to a stop when she saw that Lyon was struggling to hold up a shield of ice as the monster pounded its massive fists on the shield over and over, causing visible cracks to form in it. Lucy felt panic shoot through her as she ran toward the monster, the urge to save Lyon taking over her entire being. 

She was just about to launch an attack when Lyon yelled at her, "No! Lucy, take Gray into town and call Master Makarov for backup!" 

Lucy stopped in her tracks and yelled back at him, tears welling up in her eyes as the fear of losing him became almost unbearable, "I'm not leaving you!" 

Lyon faltered in holding up his icy shield before he managed to push a foot forward, regaining his footing that he had almost lost. He then yelled back, "go, Lucy! I can't let you get hurt any further! Grab Gray and get to the town!"

Tears rolled down her cheeks as Lucy screamed, screwing her eyes shut, "I love you too much to leave you!" 

Her brown eyes snapped open and she froze, instantly realizing what she had just admitted. She looked at Lyon, seeing that he was staring at her with widened eyes, his mouth slightly agape. Lucy balled her fists and took a deep breath before she turned her attention to the monster. She used "Aqua Metria" to knock it away from Lyon, trapping it in the softened ground. This allowed Lyon to form a dome of ice around the monster. 

As it punched the icy dome and roared, struggling to free itself. Lucy collapsed to her knees as she breathed heavily, her entire body hurting with every breath. She flinched when she felt a gentle hand rest on her shoulder. The blonde woman looked next to her to see Lyon, kneeling beside her and appearing to be just as exhausted as her. 

The Ice-Make mage questioned, hope swimming in his black eyes, eyes that Lucy spent many nights dreaming of staring into, "you love me?" His voice was low, like a fragile whisper. 

Lucy looked down at the ground. She couldn't back out now. She got herself into this, and now she had to see it through. She heaved a sigh before she admitted, "yes...I love you, Lyon." 

She tensed her body, preparing herself for rejection. However, that didn't happen. Instead, Lyon hooked a finger under her chin and titled her head up, pressing a kiss to her lips. Lucy's eyes widened in shock before she closed them and returned the kiss. 

When they pulled away, they were about to go back in for another kiss, but were stopped when Gray yelled at them, "I'm happy for you two and all, but I need medical attention now!" 

Lucy and Lyon chuckled as the blonde stood and made her way over to her friend. She hoisted him to his feet, Gray's arm draped over her shoulder while her arm was wrapped around his waist to support him. 

Lyon walked toward them, instructing, "take Gray into town and call Fairy Tail for backup. I'll stay here and make sure this thing doesn't go anywhere." 

Lucy nodded, this time sure that he would be alright by himself. As she helped a hobbling Gray in the direction of the town, she heard Lyon call her name, causing her too turn and look back at him. Lyon smiled at her as he said, "I love you."
