Often, their relationship is one of legacy. Metalicana's power and influence are seen in Gajeel. Fanfictions might show how Gajeel uses Metalicana's techniques in battles. And when Gajeel faces tough situations, he remembers Metalicana's words of wisdom. It's like Metalicana is always with him in spirit, guiding him through his adventures in Fairy Tail.
One great example could be a fanfiction where Gajeel discovers more about his dragon father, Metalicana. It might show Gajeel on a journey to find Metalicana's lair, filled with challenges and self - discovery. In this fanfiction, he could encounter old foes that Metalicana once fought, and through these battles, Gajeel learns more about his own powers and his dragon heritage.
Writing a character - driven story about Metalicana means delving deep into his emotions. He may be a dragon, but he has feelings. Show his anger when something unjust happens in the Fairy Tail world. His sadness when he is separated from Natsu or other friends. You can also show his sense of loyalty, perhaps to an old dragon code. Build the story around how these emotions drive his actions. For instance, if he feels loyalty to a certain place in the Fairy Tail world, he will fight to protect it. And when writing his dialogue, make it reflect his character. His words should be powerful and to the point, just like his actions, and show his wisdom and experience as a dragon.
Their relationship would likely become more protective. Gajeel would be constantly on guard to keep Levy and the unborn baby safe. He'd be more gentle and caring towards her.
Their marriage could also lead to more diplomatic relations within the guild. Levy is friendly with most members, and Gajeel has his own group of comrades. Their union could bridge any gaps between different cliques in the guild. For instance, if there were disputes between the more bookish members and the combat - focused ones, Gajeel and Levy could step in and mediate, using their combined influence.
Well, in such a fanfiction, Gajeel would bring a whole new energy. He might be more rebellious as a youngster. His journey to find his place in Fairy Tail could involve getting into small scuffles with other members at first. But as time passes, he realizes that Fairy Tail is a place where he can belong. His growth could be shown through his changing attitude towards the guild's rules and values.
One aspect that could be explored in this fanfiction is Gajeel's growth in magic. As a kid joining Fairy Tail, he would be exposed to different types of magic and training methods. Maybe he starts off with his Iron Dragon Slayer magic being quite basic, and then with the help of the guild's masters and other members, he refines it. He could also learn new skills that complement his existing magic, which would not only make him stronger but also show his development within the guild.
Fanfic authors develop their relationship through character growth. They show how Levy's intelligence and kindness slowly break down Gajeel's tough exterior. For instance, in many fanfictions, Levy might share her love for books with Gajeel, and he starts to appreciate it too. This mutual sharing of interests helps build their connection.
Well, from jealousy, they could start to communicate more. For instance, Gajeel might finally open up about his feelings when he can't stand seeing Levy with someone else. Levy, realizing his jealousy is a sign of his deep affection, could respond positively. This would lead to a deeper emotional connection.
After the kiss, their relationship could become more open and affectionate. They might start holding hands more often and being more protective of each other in battles. For example, Gajeel could be more vigilant about Levy's safety, always making sure she's not in harm's way.
One idea could be Metalicana's backstory before he was known in the Fairy Tail world. Maybe exploring his early days as a dragon, his first encounters with other dragons or magical creatures. Another plot could involve Metalicana having a secret mission that is related to the future of the dragon slayers in Fairy Tail. It could also be interesting to have a plot where Metalicana has to team up with some of the Fairy Tail members in a time - travel adventure to save the past and thus ensure the future of the guild.
