Dedicated to my buddy, Shaima, for inspiring me to stop thinking about this and actually do it! Thanks, girlfriend! I do not own Fairy Tail, it's characters, or the world they live in. I'm not that cool. Hiro Mashima is though.

What if Phantom Lord wasn't defeated by Fairy Tail? What if Phantom Lord won? This is the account of a parallel universe in which Phantom Lord beat Fairy Tail in battle. Gajeel Redfox, the evil, monstrous, most powerful wizard in Phantom Lord claims his prize for winning, and the prize is Fairy Tail's bookworm, Levy McGarden.

Levy's father died and her mother is an out of control alcoholic. She lives on a never ending routine of abuse and despair. That is, until her mother decides that they need money and Levy must marry a wealthy man. She is forced to marry Gajeel Redfox. An idiot who doesn't know his left from his right. {Cover by @_rosyalice}
