11 parts Ongoing MatureLucy Heartfilia thought joining Fairy Tail would be the start of a new chapter in her life-one filled with adventure, magic, and the chance to finally belong. What she didn't expect was to be caught in the orbit of Natsu Dragneel, a gruff and enigmatic Dragon Slayer with a protective streak as fiery as his magic.
Bound by an ancient connection neither fully understands, Lucy finds herself navigating the uncharted territory of a bond that ties her to Natsu in ways she can't yet comprehend. He's territorial, overbearing, and rough around the edges, but beneath the fire lies a loyalty and affection he struggles to show.
As Lucy fights to assert her independence and unravel the mystery of their bond, she must also confront her own past-one filled with pain, loss, and the fear of vulnerability.
With magic, humor, and a touch of fate, Lucy and Natsu must learn to trust each other-or risk losing everything they've only just begun to build.
