this sounds like the end but i really hope it's not especially since the status is incomplete but can i just say this has been an amazing story and i genuinely love that you didn't make romance the focal point of the story and things slowly got explained along the way which left us readers in suspense and eager to read more. so here's to hoping against hope there's a chapter 46 :)
otherwise thank you for bringing to life one of the best fairy tail fanfics i have ever read... and i've read A LOT so this is really something.

"are you drunk calling me" XD oh poor loke...

yes thank you i hate it when they uncharacteristically rush into relationships because it just feels forced and unlike the characters, especially considering natsu's characteristic denseness and lucy having been away for so long... i'm glad you chose to take the slow path :)

"the more chapters i post, the less reviews it gets"
well as a fanfic author myself i know that stories have ups and downs in spikes of popularity and types of people who review and don't review...
or i could just be reading too much into this and as a legit reader of this fic let me tell you that i'm just so excited to read the next chapter i don't really think about reviewing because the only thing on my mind is WHAT'S NEXT MUST READ NEXT CHAPTER
(no joke...)

literally have no words except for how unexpectedly (yet expectedly... is that even a word?) epic that match was

i really enjoyed these riddles and can i just say... I KNEW LUCY WOULD BE THE ONE TO HEAL GRAY
lowkey love their siblingship and i can't wait for when lucy finally reunites with fairy tail i'm interested in what happened between her last training session and the current day and who she and loke and doranbolt are after and generally this is just an amazing story and i can't wait to read more... you had me hooked on the first chapter and i'm only just showing my appreciation now wow sorry hehe

This story is sooooooo GOOD! Thank you for writing and publishing it :)

I actually felt like I was reading the manga. like the characters were so on point, the dialogues, amazing. Hope you continue with the story if so, good luck!

I know you said it will take awhile and you aren’t abandoning this story but since it’s been a fairly long time since you’ve updated could you maybe let us know if this has been discontinued or not? I mean it’s not a horrible ending place but I loved reading this story so much, I’m dying to know if there will be more.

Either way I’m pretty confident in saying this has been the best fairy tail fanfiction I have ever read so thank you so much for this amazing story! Time to go reread it bc I just can’t get enough!

Excellent story! I would love to see an update one day. But even unfinished, it was very worthwhile and ended at a good stopping point. Thank you!

So sweet! Bring on the romance! I am more than ready for some NaLu action. Also, I am loving the BAMF Lucy!

Yay! I'm so glad Lucy is back in the story! Is time flowing thr same way as it did in the manga? One day in the spiritual world is three months in the human world? I hope not. 2 days (6months) really isn't enough training time.

I'm like obsessed with your story, love it really much and the twist you've given it. I adore that you didn't evilize lissana and the character growth you showed in all of them. I was dying for like 12 chapters and I wanted them to meet and now that they have its anticlimactic. Lucy doesn't seem to grasp how much they were hurt and how they grieved, I am in love with your writing and I wish for a scene in which Lucy freaking realizes how natsu needed her. O. M. G. The feels. Also, makeout sessions and sin, I am all for it. I hope it's soon and I hope it's a lot, I am aware that you write a story with plot and arcs and actual trama, but I hope with all my heart to at least reach a full on chapter maybe 3k words of sin (and that's little) even if I don't, I can still dream, can't I? Anyway, I love your writing and hope you haven't given up in this work but if you have for whatever reason I understand, I hope that you are safe and stay safe in this trying times and keep on writing when and what you please. I'm really enjoying this story, you are an amazing writer.

Fucking damnit I read this way too fast and I don’t know when you usually update so now I gotta wait for the next chapter

This is probably my fifth time reading this but it is so good that I just keep coming back.
