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!

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?"

___________________________________

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?” 

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."
