#natso

But all the same. I will talk about each one as is the fair and proper thing to do. (人◕ω◕) Because let's be honest. Big 4 ships are getting a ton of love these days, and I've never - with the exception of appreciating Gajevy/GaLe on the rare occasion - cared for any of those mainstream ships. Nalu and Jerza may especially burn in the deepest bowels of hell.... I could go on for hours about what's wrong with Lucy and Jellal. (人◕ω◕) ... But I won't do it here. I won't. Not worth the writing space. (人◕ω◕)***

I'm not going in any particular order this time, though I'm saving my Fairy Tail Founders for last. (人◕ω◕) The other main thing you need to know is I will only confirm if they have one or more kids. I am not numbering them this time. That is how brawls get started, good sir/ma'am. We are keeping things civilized. (人◕ω◕)

Yukino... she's an interesting one. (人◕ω◕) You would think based off her personality that she would be satisfied with but one little bundle of joy. After all, when she's not kicking ass, she's a little goober. Everyone knows this. (人◕ω◕) Goobers aren't little horndogs. Surely.

... Except this goober is Sorano-chan's younger sister, and she indulged her neechan a little too much with the unprotected sex. (人◕ω◕) She doesn't have too many, just a few. But she certainly has more than one. And Yukino-chan is a good mother, she is. After the tragedy she and Sorano went through as kids, Yukino-chan is there for her children and is very supportive of them. She is even among the list of wives to call on for babysitting their kids; admittedly she's not at the top of the list because she has a history of being incapable of saying "no" when she really should, not feeling right about strongly disciplining kids. But this has only happened a few times, and so she is one of the responsible wives. Yukino just needs a bit more steel in her spine. Not much, just a sprinkle of it. (人◕ω◕)

Lisanna-chan is another of those, "Aw, she's a more subdued girl for Natsu!" ... When in reality, you should really pay more attention to who she's related to. (人◕ω◕) Unlike Yukino, however, there's a bit more of give-and-take between Lisanna and Mira. Neither side is a doormat, and there's been some tense "understandings" that have happened with this grudging acceptance that they're really doing this, really sharing Natsu. (人◕ω◕) Lisanna-chan is just... put out that she's missed her opportunity of keeping Natsu to herself. She never really lets the other wives forget that she was the childhood waifu who first envisioned marrying the pyro. Most of her fellow wives are chill with these reminders, but there are a... few... who do find it grating and will start brawling if Lisanna rubs it in too much. (人◕ω◕);;;;;;;;

... That said, Lisanna has a healthy amount of kids birthed out of her love for Natsu. (人◕ω◕) Unfortunately not as many as Mira, but frankly, her neechan is more adept at bedtime bonding time with their shared Dragon Slayer. Mira is more durable, can keep up with Natsu, and frankly just has the drive to keep going past the average limits of families. (人◕ω◕) I won't put a number on Lisanna's kids, but she's got somewhere under 15. As I said, it's a respectable amount. More than a few, but not an ungodly amount. Lisanna-chan's libido is healthy~ (人◕ω◕)

And also, much like Yukino she's on the list of good eggs for wives to go to for babysitting their kids. (人◕ω◕) A little higher than Yukino on the list because she can say "no" more consistently, but let's be real. Lisanna is still a Fun Auntie, and isn't above encouraging mischief from time to time. (人◕ω◕) But never anything nefarious. Lisanna-chan has standards. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)

Now, Cana-chan... She is a fascinating one. (人◕ω◕) You would think with her ability to drink any of the other wives under the table that she would have more "accidents" of unprotected sex, and thus have a whole brood of children under her belt. (人◕ω◕) ... But no. There are factors that have led Cana-chan to having just the one kid with Natsu and being done with that. And it's not that she can't be bothered with all the rambunctiousness, or that it's not healthy for pregnant women to be drinking.

... Though frankly, those came in rather clutch for hindsight. (人◕ω◕)

No. Cana's main reason for limiting herself to just the one kid is... She wants to be better than Gildarts. (人◕ω◕) She loves her daddy, but she sees the kind of guy he is. Always drinking, going wherever he pleases, it would be so easy to do the same and have a ton of children with Natsu. But she wants to be a better mama than that. She doesn't want to end up forgetting a few children and leaving them unloved or unattended. Cana-chan doesn't have the drive or energy that some of the other wives do; for her, one is plenty and keeps it simple.

Cana-chan is... not necessarily on that list of wives to go to for babysitting kids. (人◕ω◕);; She is on the reserve list, if there are no other options available. Cana-chan is known for her bouts of maturity. ... But those are just bouts. Cana loves drinking and having a good time. And she's so often lounging in the Guild so kids would be exposed to the constant brawls. ... Not that they wouldn't already as they're all Natsu's kids, but you understand, yes? It's not the most conducive environment. (人◕ω◕);;;;;; And Cana more than likely would encourage bad habits and allow far too much barring the stuff that would really hurt. Physically, emotionally, or otherwise. (人◕ω◕) They've been trying for years to "rehabilitate" Cana, but she's stuck in this cocktail of drunk x maturity. She's a weird one. But she's Cana-chan. (人◕ω◕)

Wendy-chan... (人◕ω◕) This is another one that comes as a surprise. See, in most cases Wendy is a cheerful, exuberant, peppy, supportive goober of a young lady. You would think Wendy-chan would limit herself to just the one kid and be happy. (人◕ω◕)

....... (人◕ω◕)

..................... (人◕ω◕)

........................................ (人◕ω◕)

Unfortunately, I have been exposed to Fairy Tail fanfiction far too long and have accepted that there is this concept called "Dragon Slayer Mating Season". (人◕ω◕) For Natsu, this phenomenon is overlooked because of the sheer amount of wives he's got and how horny he is on even the best of days. (人◕ω◕) However, Wendy-chan is a much needed wakeup call for everyone else. Because this mating season occurs every year, and lasts a good, healthy week. And in that week, Dragon Slayers become these very horny, very territorial creatures. Natsu has managed to subjugate Wendy over the years and make her accept even at her basest state that he has mates and Wendy can't just have Natsu for herself. ... Though as she's grown up, the mating season has certainly intensified and is like a bonus S-Class Trial for the other wives every year without exception. (人◕ω◕);;; It's, uh... It's not as bad as when they first found out about this ominous tradition, but you can be sure that every year a few weeks before the mating season hits, the other wives hold a sort of council meeting amongst themselves to prepare contingencies and just overall steel themselves. (人◕ω◕);;;;;; Wendy-chan is a healer, you understand, and when a healer goes mad with power for a week, you must always be prepared.

... Consequentially, Wendy-chan has a healthy amount of kids. (人◕ω◕) Probably less than 20... Honestly hard to say. The wives do what they can to mitigate the unprotected sex during this mating season period, but it's mighty difficult to prepare for every eventuality... Ehehe. (人◕ω◕);;;;;;;;

But outside that one hellish week, Wendy is a wonderful mama. About the same level as Yukino... or between Yukino and Lisanna. She just needs to learn to say "no" and not let the kids walk all over her. (人◕ω◕);; At least she's definitely on the list for babysitting because of her skills as a nurse. Wendy-chan is a good waifu. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)

Let's just get this out of the way now. Chelia and Wendy are two peas in a pod. (人◕ω◕) Doesn't matter that they're two different varieties of Slayers, Chelia has her own... mating period, too. Hers lasts a month. (人◕ω◕);;; But mercifully, she's not as, er... Not "feral", that's too mean. (人◕ω◕);;; She's more open to orgies than Wendy is during her mating season. Chelia just needs to mate. With Natsu. She doesn't mind sharing the L O V E~ \(人◕ω◕)/

... But yeah. Lasts a whole month. The other wives hafta brace for impact with this one, too. (人◕ω◕)

Like Wendy-chan, Chelia has a healthy amount of kids. Probably less than 25. Probably. (人◕ω◕) See, while Chelia is a goober like Wendy, she has more... confidence. She's definitely around the same level of Lisanna in mamahood, if not a little "above" Lisanna because she doesn't need constant negotiations with an older sister like Lisanna does. (人◕ω◕) Chelia can muster a little bit of sternness, and isn't afraid of disciplining kids... Because in the end, love is more than unconditional support; if you well and truly love someone, you have to steer them along the right paths. And this includes children, who are especially susceptible to naughty habits. (人◕ω◕) Chelia-chan is by no means perfect. But she's definitely high on that list of wives to go to for babysitting your kids. (人◕ω◕)

Brandish is more predictable... (人◕ω◕) She's mellow like Cana, just has more of a sweet tooth as opposed to nonstop drinking. There are few people that inspire her more cutesy side - Aquarius, Natsu (when they're alone), ... that's about it, actually. (人◕ω◕) Otherwise she's pretty stoic and deadpan most of the time. Let her relax, or have time with Natsu, and she won't bother you much at all~... And by "bother", I mean that she won't shrink or mess with your body for annoying her. (人◕ω◕)

Brandish has... a few kids. Only a few. See, whereas Cana has a more iron control, Brandi-chan does have a bit of a libido. It's rarer to see her pester Natsu about her "needs", but it does happen. (人◕ω◕) He gives very good massages~ Which often leads to bonking like monkeys. (人◕ω◕) ... But yeah, because it's rarer, and Brandi-chan doesn't have a drive for "moar", she's good with the few kids she has. (人◕ω◕)

As a mama, Brandi-chan is pretty chill. But she's not on "the list" for watching your kids because she allows way too much. (人◕ω◕) She's like last-last-last resort for babysitting. Brandish ensures the kids are loved, but she's all about letting kids experience life for themselves and learning what not to do on their own. (人◕ω◕) Very laissez-faire, this one~

Juvia-chan is... same tier as Chelia and Meredy-chan. (人◕ω◕) Healthy amount of kids, makes sure Natsu-sama is loved every day (not talking about sex here, not exclusively)... She's got a bit of a jealous streak and is very, very vocal about being everyone's rival for Natsu-sama's affection. (人◕ω◕) Juvia-chan is also the one-woman army for creating Natsu-sama merch... which she tries so hard to keep to herself, but in this economy? (人◕ω◕) ... Well, truthfully, the other wives pay her handsomely for her merch, which is why she allowed the poachers to take any of her Collection. But the other wives know that Juvia is holding out on them. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)

... Anyway. Healthy amount of kids. And she's a pretty good mama. She's like Chelia in that she knows love is about boundaries and sometimes requires discipline. Like Chelia, she's high on the list of mama's to go to for babysitting. (人◕ω◕)

Meredy-chan is just like Juvia and Chelia. (人◕ω◕) ... In her chipper and loving personality, that is. Unfortunately, this is where we start hitting the wives that have... a lot of children with Natsu. (人◕ω◕);;; I can't put a number on this without getting into trouble. So I won't. (人◕ω◕) Just know that Meredy-chan has a libido that rivals even the mighty Sayla and Mirajane... My, my. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕) And her Maguilty Sense helps remind her rival wives that pregnancy is.... a wonderful phenomenon. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕) Only hurts a little bit. And Meredy-chan keeps. Getting. Preggo. (人◕ω◕);;;;;;;;;;;

But I digress. Meredy-chan is a good mama. Same level as Juvia and Chelia. (人◕ω◕) She's a little bit less stern than them, though. Because she leaves that discipline stuff to Auntie Ultear. (人◕ω◕) It doesn't help that all of her and Natsu's kids have the patented pink hair. The other wives are very jealous. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)

Kagura-chan has what a lot of the other wives seem to lack. (人◕ω◕) Discipline. Self-control. (人◕ω◕) Kagura-chan has only a few kids, and she has come to accept this. She approves Cana-chan limiting herself to just the one, and wishes her own conviction was just as strong. ... But alas, Kagura-chan can't help how cute her and Natsu-kun's children are. So a few it is. (人◕ω◕)

As far as mamahood goes, Kagura is... on the stricter end of the spectrum. (人◕ω◕);;;;;; She has gentle moments, and she's not abusive. But she's definitely near the top of wives to leave your kids with, because she doesn't bend easily to puppy dog eyes or cheap tricks. (人◕ω◕) Kagura-chan teaches kids the value of Order and Diligence (training). (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕) Kagura-chan's a good mum. She's just a little bit tough on the parenting thing. (人◕ω◕)

Virgo, erm......... (人◕ω◕);;;;;;;;;;; We're scraping the barrel of "reasonable expectations" by now.... Virgo isn't even a human, so she's built differently. Let her pop off to the Spirit World for an hour, and she'll pop back with fully charged batteries. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)

... Virgo-chan has a lot of babies with Natsu-sama. A loooooot~.... (人◕ω◕);;; And that is all I will say on the matter.

In terms of mamahood, Virgo is a good one. But she's on that last-last-last resort list because of all her horny BDSM antics and her insistence on serving the needs of her Masters, Natsu and his gaggle of wives and all their children. (人◕ω◕);;;;; She allows far too much. Even if she's a wonderful mama. (人◕ω◕);;;;;;

............... (人◕_◕)

(❋•‿•❋);;;;;;;;; Sayla-chan is same tier as Virgo in libido. I mean, she's a literal demon, what more do you want me to say? Sure, she'll exhaust herself to the point of reverting to a book, but give her an hour and she'll be right back up. (❋•‿•❋);;;;;;;;;;;

... So yes. Sayla-chan has a ton of kids, too. And only half of them have horns like she does. (❋•‿•❋) We can call that progress. Probably. (❋•‿•❋)

Despite how troublesome she is as a woman, Sayla-chan is a surprisingly decent mum. (人◕ω◕) She's mature. A bit aloof, a bit of a mean streak, a bit mischievous on her worst days... But she's dutiful because Natsu-sama is her Master. (人◕ω◕) And that means watching over their kids~... She's high on the list if you want someone to watch over your children. ... There's just a note of caution because Sayla is a demon, so leave it up to your discretion if you trust her or not. (人◕ω◕)

Sorano-chan...... Now that we're hitting the Founders, I must stress we're entering the realm of the goddesses. (人◕ω◕) Every one of these ladies from hereon has..... copious amounts of kids. It's not just all the raw sex that they believe is the true, ideal way to savor Natsu, These four well and truly love Natsu Dragneel, flaws and all. (人◕ω◕)

Sorano-chan is....a fascinating mum. (人◕ω◕) You would think that she would be all fun, no control. But Sorano's style of parenting is to work and train hard so they can all have fun later. (人◕ω◕) She IS known to allow too much, which puts her on the naughty list of wives. Yet she has a curious amount of respect from the other wives because of her admittedly structured and mature way of parenting. (人◕ω◕) ... She just has a problem of partying too hard. That's her main critique, aside from the very obvious lack of clothes she doesn't wear on a regular basis. (人◕ω◕);;;;;;;; Thankfully her children haven't picked up on Mama's "a bikini counts as everyday clothes" routine. (人◕ω◕);;;

The other wives can absolutely live without Sorano rubbing it in that she's not ALL bad as a Mama. It tends to step on every last nerve when Sorano-chan gets.....braggy.... (人◕ω◕);;;;;;;

Ultear-chan.... Hoo, boy. What a woman. (人◕ω◕);;;;;; So don't spread it around too much, but Ultear has the distinguished honor of having taken Natsu's virginity. (人◕ω◕);;;;;; Believe me, she had stiff competition. But somehow Ultear snagged this high honor. ... And Erza are Mira have NEVER forgiven Ultear for this slight ever. (人◕ω◕);;;;; It, uh.... It gets a bit tense whenever Ultear reminisces on that little achievement. That's another way brawls get started. (人◕ω◕);;;;;;;

Ultear has copious amounts of children. (人◕ω◕) She and Natsu have it down to an art form. Natsu openly admires her body, and that's something else Ultear tends to hold over the rest of the wives. Natsu's so often surrounded by beauty he doesn't comment much less give out hugs on sight. Ultear, though? Definitely can't stop hugging her. (人◕ω◕);;;; Although Ultear could live without the "still can't believe you're a real woman" comments. The whole Zalty snafu was YEARS ago, Natsu. (人◕ω◕);;;;;

But I digress. Ultear is a good mama. Has plenty of experience, looking after Meredy. She has a mischievous streak, but overall she's very balanced and mature. Doesn't let kids get too crazy or unsupervised. (人◕ω◕) She's high on "the list", but if you do choose to go to her for babysitting, prepare yourself to owe her a favor or pay exorbitant fees. Ultear-chan doesn't work for cheap. (人◕ω◕) Although she makes exceptions for emergencies. She's not heartless. She just wants some side money if you're going to be lazy about parenting. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕) Much like Sorano and Yukino, Ultear's past trauma has inspired her to be a magnificent mother. \(人◕ω◕)/

Mira-chan.... Ehehehe.... (人◕ω◕);;;;; So. She's got a reputation among the wives. Many love to hate her for her spunkier, meaner rival side. However, Mira-chan is absolutely an enormous threat as a wife and mother of Natsu's many kids. So many that are her own. (人◕ω◕);;;;;;;; She can cook, she can clean, she's amazing at entertaining kids.... Mirajane is like the whole package. Barring her sadistic rivalry angle, Mira-chan is PERFECT. Too perfect. And it's just not fair. (人◕ω◕)

Mira-chan has an insane amount of kids with Natsu. Competing with Erza, Ultear, and Sorano. (人◕ω◕) You would think this kills her modeling career, but no.... If anything, the fact she's very much taken and is in very good shape between all the sex and training.... Mira-chan continues to maintain her gorgeous public image over the years, and the other wives just don't know HOW. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕) She ages super gracefully, has oodles of charisma.... Sheesh. Angels must fall from heaven, cuz Mira-chan is so angelic all the time.... But everyone knows she's got a switch. And when it gets flipped.... You're boned. Very much boned. (人◕ω◕)

Mira-chan wormed her way into Natsu's heart over the years with her cooking and how she listened and talked with him so easily. Even when most others wrote him off as a kid at heart. (人◕ω◕) Mira always saw the diamond in the rough that he is, and she heavily invested in him. Even trained with him after getting her powers back. (人◕ω◕) Natsu is her equal in every way that matters, and she's not sorry for being greedy with him. That's HER pyro, dammit. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)

Finally, Erza-chan. (人◕ω◕)

Same deal as Mira, Ultear, and Sorano. Insane level of kids, unapologetically territorial of HER pyro. (人◕ω◕) Missions, training, relaxing.... She does it all with Natsu and their family. (人◕ω◕) And just like Mira, she somehow finds the time to maintain her image and spot as the guild's disciplinarian and one of their aces. (人◕ω◕)

In terms of mamahood... Erza admittedly has to adapt to a learning curve. She didn't have it mastered right off the bat. However, like Mira and Ultear, Erza is diligent, hard-working. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕) She might be awkward sometimes, but that's simmered down over the years. Natsu helped her mellow out, to find that happy medium between stern and having a good time. (人◕ω◕) Perhaps just as important, Erza will always have a special place in Natsu's heart, and it's a two way street. Natsu will always look up to and admire Erza. She's strong as hell, and she's fun to play around with.

... Even if she sometimes hurts. (人◕ω◕) But that's usually when he messes up. And that's okay~

If you guys have been following me for a while, you know I'd never forget Sorano-chan. Sorano Aguria. (人◕ω◕) She's in my Top 4 Natsu ships. Has been for a very long time~ I've been saving the best for last cuz you guys have heard me talk your ears about them for ages. (人◕ω◕)

When did they meet?

Natsu encountered Sorano during the mission to crush Oracion Seis. At the time, Sorano was working to revive Nirvana, which was Brain's plot to destroy Light Guilds and convert them to the dark side. But for Sorano's part, her dream - her prayer, if you will - was to fade into the sky like an angel. ... In other words, she just wanted freedom. Sorano and the rest of the Seis that worked under Brain were slaves at the Tower of Heaven like Erza, Simon, and their friends. And it simply became their misfortune to be used as pawns by Brain to hold back his more powerful, destructive personality of Zero.

Still, Sorano was among the first to be defeated by the Alliance of Fairy Tail, Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, and Cait Shelter. In this iteration, Natsu was the one to capture her and confiscate her Gate Keys. And when Nirvana gets activated... It's not just Richard whose heart is swayed, but Sorano's as well. This was brought about due to Natsu and Erza speaking with her, effectively reminding Sorano of the sister she saved and left behind, when the Zeref worshippers captured her as a child...though Natsu and Erza aren't aware of this, as Sorano privately ruminates on it. Sorano is ashamed to have been a part of something so insidious, feeling she has no right to ever see Yukino again... But she helps the Alliance against her friends, knowing it's best to reel them in and stop Brain.

Oracion Seis still gets beaten, and Cobra/Erik is still pissed about Brain stabbing them in the back... Unfortunately, there's not much resolution for the Seis on that front. Lahar still takes them away, in addition to Jellal. Sorano has no expectation of ever seeing the light of day again; she doesn't deserve to, or so she thinks. Richard was happy to hear his brother had joined Fairy Tail, and does have hopes of seeing him again someday... Sorano bitterly wishes she had Richard's optimism. ... But she doesn't. Sorano lets Natsu keep her keys, do whatever with them; even if Scorpio and Gemini want to be her spirits still, Sorano doesn't feel worthy enough.

When did they grow closer?

... Nevertheless, during the seven years Fairy Tail's strongest are missing, Warrod Sequen of the Wizard Saints approaches the imprisoned members of Oracion Seis and Grimoire Heart. This happened shortly after Jellal was sprung from prison by Ultear and Meredy; Warrod sees this as a golden opportunity. He gets permission from the Council for an attempted rehab program, and personally takes Sorano, Richard, Erik, Sawyer, Macbeth, Rustyrose, and Azuma under his wing. They're the only ones who showed any interest in freedom with the condition of changing their ways; Zancrow and Kain were too set in their destructive habits. But even so, it's rough getting through to most of them. If it's not guilt gnawing away at them, the former prisoners merely want to do their own things, do soul-searching on their terms. ... Which can't happen, because they're Warrod's responsibility.

To help motivate them, seven years into their rehab, he offers them the chance to participate in the Grand Magic Game. Make a wager out of the competition since Fairy Tail is competing, their best having finally returned. If they can beat Fairy Tail and emerge victorious in the games, they'll have full freedom, no obligation to join any guild... But if Fairy Tail wins, then they'll have to join the fairies. It's not a bet that they're super eager to take on - save for Sorano and Richard, none of the former Oracion Seis or Grimoire Heart want to join Fairy Tail. Nevertheless, when Raven Tail is ousted from the games for foul play, they're given this opportunity to compete.

Sorano had already bumped into Natsu in the first days of the games, roaming around Crocus. He returned her Celestial Spirit keys to her, which just... blew her away. Sorano thought for sure Natsu would have foisted them off on that Heartfillia girl, but he held onto the keys all this time... for her sake. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) Sorano's honestly at a loss for words, and honestly doesn't care about the "bet" anymore. Either way, she's probably gonna be joining Fairy Tail with Richard... It might seem silly to feel indebted to a knucklehead that pounded her into the dirt years ago, but Sorano doesn't care. Fairy Tail's about as free as one can get. They're strong and fight back against monsters like the Balam Alliance.

... That, and well... (๑╹ω╹๑ );;; It doesn't take her long to see and hear about Yukino-chan. At first she was pretty happy her sister was doing well for herself in a strong guild like Sabertooth... But then she heard about Yukino getting kicked out because of a simple bad matchup in the battles... And Sorano couldn't have been prouder of Natsu raining Hell down on Sabertooth for that. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) Sorano herself might feel powerless, unworthy to go and do anything for Yukino-chan... But like a night in shining armor, Natsu wrecked their shit. Both unofficially and officially. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) She was quite gleeful about him taking down those "Twin Dragons"...

Unfortunately, however, Sorano gets captured like Lucy and Yukino, their golden keys taken to be used to open the gate. Events of the dragon invasion go about the same, just with "Hydra Roots" helping out all the other guilds. And Ultear not using Last Ages~

When everything blows over, and the members of Warrod's "guild" (as well as Crime Sorciere) are pardoned for their heroic acts in helping save Ishgar from the dragons... Sorano can hardly believe it. Just like that, she's given a new lease on life. Sure, not everyone is happy to be joining Fairy Tail, but they lost the games. They have to accept that. ... Even Sorano has to accept that Yukino-chan will be in the same guild. A reunion she's very conflicted about... But since she's pardoned, Sorano doesn't have many excuses to fall back on, dodging any interactions with her sister. It's just something to get used to. (๑╹ω╹๑ )

I bring all this background info up, cuz it explains why Natsu gets close to Sorano after the GMG are over. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) With all the new recruits, Natsu was bound to bump shoulders with former Oracion Seis eventually~ Understandably, they largely stick to themselves... in the beginning, at least. But when Natsu hears from Yukino that she and Sorano are sisters, he helps mediate between them for the first couple of talks. In his eyes, they're like Mira and Lisanna... They even have white hair~.... Sisters should get along. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) And between Richard hugging it out with Wally, Erik getting reacquainted with Kinana (formerly Cubelios), and even Azuma and Erza having a solid respect for one another... It doesn't take long for "Hydra Roots" to fully integrate into Fairy Tail.

Sorano is... rather affectionate with Natsu. Much to the ire of a good few ladies. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) The human embodiment of an angel not only plays matchmaker for Yukino-chan and Natsu, she gets rather cozy with the Dragon Slayer, too. Not only tagging along on jobs with Team Natsu and dragging Yukino along, but also... She was among the first of the new girls to ever see Natsu's house. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) Even if Mira and Erza gripe about it, Sorano makes herself right at home with the pyro~... Natsu doesn't mind how scantily clad she is on a regular basis, he seems rather used to such things... Which intrigues Sorano quite a bit. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) If he has all these perky girls swarming him, how has he not gotten laid yet? How has he not succumbed to ecchi impulses like a lot of the other guys in the guild?

Of course, in spite of how shameless Sorano can be, it's not mere physical attraction that draws her to Natsu. He's more than just candy for the eyes. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) He's strong as hell, and the way her cares for all his friends is... It's very pleasant to be around. And his acknowledgement of her strength, depending on her more in the heat of battle than that Heartfillia chick... Sorano-chan takes pride in that. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) Sure, Natsu says Heartfillia is strong in her own way, yadda, yadda, yadda, but what's Heartfillia bring to the table besides her spirits? At least Sorano and Yukino have hand-to-hand combat training. And moreover, Sorano has her... angels~.... \(๑╹ω╹๑ )/ Heartfillia gets kidnapped and smacked around all the time~... While Sorano is a proud fighter in her own right. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) ... Now, one downside is that Natsu doesn't do well on the Olympia.... But hey, even motion sickness can be "cute"~... And unlike that armored sardine redhead, Sorano never punches Natsu in the gut to let him rest in her lap. No sir. His face just gets smothered in Sorano's thighs or her bosom. Whichever is closest at the time~! \(๑╹ω╹๑ )/

When did friendship turn to something more?

Sorano, like Mira, moves pretty fast to get what she wants. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) Sure, being Natsu's friend for the first several months before Fairy Tail's "disbanded" is a good taste of what having the pyro in her life is like... But Sorano-chan is greedy. Which is precisely why after Alvarez blows over, Sorano is allllll over Natsu without reservation in the slightest. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) She cottons onto Mira's proposal plans... And makes plans of her own. Ultear might beat Sorano to the "pregnancy" stage, but she proposes to Natsu like Mira does... And screws hubby long and hard after getting hitched. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) Of course this means Natsu has to marry all the girls pining after him... And it's a rather chaotic ceremony and afterparty... But they pull it off~... Mostly due to Sorano pushing for the competition and polygamy. (๑╹ω╹๑ ) Hubby should be loved, and have many, many children~... Sure, gentler girls like Yukino-chan are scandalized at how fast they move, but Sorano insists that she knows what Yukino wants. What they all want. (๑╹ω╹๑ )(๑╹ω╹๑ )(๑╹ω╹๑ )

It's definitely a new challenge for Natsu too satisfy all these ladies... But he loves each and every one of them. Even that horny angel of his~... It's another challenge entirely to keep everyone from taking disagreements too personally. There are factions in this harem. Sorano and Yukino. Wendy and Chelia. Ultear and Meredy. Juvia and Meredy/Juvia and Lisanna. Erza and Kagura. Lisanna and Mira.... (๑╹ω╹๑ ) But Natsu's used to brawls everyday... And he wouldn't miss this adventure for the world~ \(๑╹ω╹๑ )/
