This was written for the 2015-2016 Fairy Tail Big Bang Project hosted on tumblr (url: unisonraidevent), which has been a ton of fun. Basically, a Big Bang is when artists and authors pair up together and "collaborate" by making art for a fic and a fic for the art.
Many thanks goes to arikafd who provides all the gorgeous fanart and helped me hash out ideas/pointed out plotholes/beta read everything. Huge thank you goes to MissMythoMagic who helped me hashed out ideas and beta read everything for me.
I hope y'all enjoy this multi-chapter fic (that was originally supposed to be a oneshot ... again)! Either that, or I hope you all cry.
Actually, I hope all y'all cry at some point.

I don't own Fairy Tail. All rights go to Hiro Mashima. Not mine. Zippo. Nada. Nope.
