AN: So I got an idea from watching a tv show with undercover federal agents, and having already been toying with writing a fanfiction about Gajeel, I decided to go ahead and write one, only he's not one of the good guys, yet. This is an AU and there are two plots here, a Past and a Present. The past is italicized and the present is normal text. They will eventually meet in the middle.

Storyline: Gajeel has tried to separate the past from the present for years, doing his best to protect his family from his previous mistakes. When his daughter is suddenly kidnapped by his old cartel boss, her only hope is to fight her way out with what her father taught her. But Gajeel won't sit by idly and ignore his raging instincts - instincts that scream his past has finally caught up with him. One thing still hasn't changed: no one messes with a Redfox.

Two separate plots - the past and the present- collide as events unfold.

*Rated Mature - There is intense language, violence, drug, and some sexual situations. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

*I do not own any of the pictures.

*I do not own any of FairyTail - that's all Hiro Mishima.

FIGHTING REDFOX

A Gajevy Fanfiction

By CapAleran2

Partially Revised as of 7-20-18

I will go back in to revise the grammar bits at a later date.

-AN ADDED PART-

This story begins with the next chapter. The Past begins in chapter 3.

Here is the extensive list of songs that I listened to while I wrote this fanfiction. They all fit perfectly within it and for characters and scenes, in my opinion (some are interpreted however). I tried to fit them with the flow of the story, but ultimately it's up to you which songs fit the chapters. I do not own any of these, all rights are to the artists. I could very well add more. Probably will. And definitely have.

Please give a listen to these. I am very passionate about writing and the songs I choose are included for a reason. Music moves the story along and it amplifies the intended emotion, especially the original works of Audiomachine and the like.
