Me: Hey. As I believe I mentioned in my last update, I'll be writing Jerza lemons in AU format as a means of improving my writing and dealing with stress.

Plot for first AU: Takes place pre-Tower of Heaven, Jellal personally brings Erza back to the tower not as his sacrifice, but as his bride. (If I had my way, those two along with Nalu, Gruvia, Gale, RoWen, Mira and Freed, ElfGreen, Yukino and Rouge, Erik and Kinana, and Angel and Midnight would totally be couples and spawning great children. Also Leo and Aries. Maybe Wally and Millianna)

To be perfectly honest this is the first time I've written and posted ANYTHING like this. And I'm kinda nervous. But authors like jellalsexual, give me courage. So bear with me.

Now on with the story.

Erza Scarlet sighed in exhaustion as she stepped into her dorm at Fairy Hills. Natsu and Gray had again caused destruction on a mission. Today's was to deal with a demon that had been terrorizing a northeast village. Naturally, this spawned a competition between the Ice Mage and Fire Dragon Slayer.

The destruction cost them nearly half of their reward money which was 500,000 jewels. Luckily they had enough to split between the five of them, though Natsu gave some of his to Lucy.

Now after a tiring trip and Natsu's usual motion sickness, all she wanted was to relax, soak her body in warm relaxing liquid and drift off into a deep sleep.

….

After doing the warm relaxing bath, soothing her sore body and slight wounds. She stepped out and dried her worn out body and dried her scarlet tresses.

Scarlet…

"Let's name you Erza Scarlet."

"Scarlet. Like the color of your hair, that way I'll never forget."

Erza sighed sadly as the memory she still held dear to her spread throughout her mind.

Eight years. It's been eight years since she left the Tower of Heaven. Not as though she had a choice. She cried secretly for days on end since she left her friends behind.

Sho. Simon. Wally. Millianna. And…

"Jellal." She whispered sadly.

Her former nakama. Even thinking of them brought back memories of Grandpa Rob. He had sacrificed himself to save her. Something that deeply affected her back then and still does now.

But… that wasn't the saddest thing. She deeply missed all her friends. She always wondered what they were doing and if Jellal had kept true to his promise not to harm them.

Even when he lost his mind, even when he killed those men, when he hurt her and banished her from the tower, Erza knew deep within her heart that's he missed him the most. It didn't help that Siegrain was in Era and looked just like Jellal.

Erza shook her head furiously, trying to get the annoying thoughts out of her head. She wouldn't admit it to nobody, but Siegrain sent the same shivers up her spine that resonated with her undying feelings for Jellal.

"What am I thinking? That's all in the past. I shouldn't dwell on what is old."

Erza finished drying herself off and requipped into a matching pair of black lace underwear and bra and a black nightgown with sleeves. Heading towards her queen-sized bed with Heart Kruez sheets and comforter, her deep chocolate brown eyes flickered to a deep red rose with a azure blue ribbon and a crisp white note tied to it.

Skeptical and on guard, Erza picked up the rose cautiously and opened the note. What she read next chilled her to her core.

My Dear Erza,

It's been Eight years. Eight long, painful years. Ever since I allowed you to leave the tower.

And not a single day has gone by that I haven't regretted that action.

Your friends are still good. Don't worry.

From what I've heard you've grown into a fine young woman.

Strong and beautiful, like a maiden blossoming into a Goddess that protects all.

But you're not just any Goddess, No…

You're mine. My Goddess. My future, MINE.

The tower is near completion, and when that happens…

I'll be the King of Paradise, and you'll be my Queen…

I'll be coming for you very soon, say August 15th.

Till then my cherished Scarlet.

Ever Yours,

Jellal Fernandes

Erza's entire being was sub-zero cold and was shaking uncontrollably. Jellal was coming here?! Erza felt like fainting out of pure dread. 'Wait?' she thought. The 15th? That's today! Which means at any time Jellal could burst in her apartment and forcibly haul her back to that nightmare. Erza was so ensnared in her fearful thoughts, she failed to notice the shadowed figure creeping up behind her. Said Figure slyly wrapped his strong arms around Erza tightly, but not enough to harm her.

Erza froze, but soon began to quake when she felt the undetected embrace of the stranger. She wanted to scream, fight, something! But she was still shocked by the letter that all her instincts were shot.

Amused by her reaction the unknown man chuckled and held her a bit tighter.

"Erza… it's so good to see you again." The man huskily whispered in her ear, succeeding in making her flinch. Erza could no longer contain her feelings. If this kept up she was likely to break.

"J-Jellal?" She squeaked so unlike her normal self. She mentally reprimanded herself for replying in such a manner. She was Titania. Queen of the Fairies. She couldn't allow herself to be weak.

Alas the enduring presence was enough to make her quiver. And before she had time to react or requip any armor or weapons, she felt a wet cloth cover her mouth and nose. She attempted to struggle for a few minutes but it was all in vain. The last things he heard and saw was a shadowed figure whispering:
Beautiful Scarlet.'

Jellal had been hiding out at Erza's dorm for a few hours. But the note was delivered a few days ago, but since Erza was on a mission things got complicated. Lifting her on her bed laying on her side, Jellal brought out a magic binding rope courtesy of Millianna. Tying the binding around Erza's wrists firmly but not enough to harm her, Jellal nearly chuckled when she mumbled. Lifting her up bridal style, making sure her binds was secure. Lightly kissing her on the lips, Jellal smiled and held her tight to his body.

Walking towards her open window, he went into Meteor and flew away into the night.

Gahhhhhhh!
Originally I wanted to make One-shot AU Lemons. But NO. I gotta work out the finer details.

Like: Sho and the others, Zeref, Ultear and whether or not I should get Team Natsu and Juvia to come and save Erza.

But whatever. My fic. My rules
