Gray's character might develop a new level of determination. After using the Ice Shell, he may realize the limits of his current power and be more determined to train and grow stronger. He could also become more in - tune with the emotional side of his magic, as the Ice Shell is not just a physical technique but also has an emotional undertone related to sacrifice and protection. This could lead to him using his ice magic in more nuanced and powerful ways in future battles.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Gray uses the Ice Shell to enter a frozen dimension where he has to face his inner demons. This could lead to a great character development arc as he battles his fears and emerges stronger, both in terms of his magic and his mental state. He could then bring back new knowledge or powers from this dimension to help Fairy Tail in their battles against stronger enemies.
Well, it could make Gray feel an extreme sense of guilt. He might blame himself for not being able to protect her. And this could lead to him becoming more withdrawn and brooding, perhaps even pushing away his friends as he grapples with the loss.
Often, it starts with a moment of realization. Maybe a near - death experience where they suddenly see each other in a new light. Then, there's the stage of denial, where they try to push away their new - found feelings because it's not what they expected. After that, they slowly start to accept it and begin to explore their relationship more deeply.
Gray can be developed further by exploring his relationship with his Devil Slayer powers on a deeper level. Maybe he starts to have dreams or visions related to the origin of Devil Slaying magic, which makes him question his role. He could also develop by having more in - depth interactions with other Devil Slayers outside of Fairy Tail. This would expose him to different ways of using the power and different moral perspectives.
One of the main characteristics of Gray in this type of fanfiction is his loyalty. He is extremely loyal to the Fairy Tail guild, and this loyalty extends to the reader as well. He will go to great lengths to protect the reader, whether it's from external threats like dark guilds or from internal emotional turmoil. His physical attractiveness is also often emphasized, with his well - built physique and his unique style of dressing (or undressing in his case due to his habit of losing his clothes while using magic). This adds to his charm in the eyes of the reader.
Well, if the necklace is a memento of his past, it can constantly remind Gray of who he was and where he came from. This can make him more determined to uphold his values. For example, if it was given to him by his family who were killed, he would fight even harder against evil to avenge them.
The Natsu and Gray gay fanfictions contribute to the Fairy Tail fandom by providing a creative outlet for fans. It allows fans to express their love for the characters in a different way. Since the Fairy Tail series already has a large and passionate fan base, these fanfictions can bring together like - minded fans who enjoy this particular aspect of the characters' relationship. It can also lead to fan - made art, discussions, and even collaborative projects within the fandom, all of which help to keep the Fairy Tail community alive and vibrant.
Gray could die in a fanfiction if he overused his magic. His ice - magic, while powerful, might have limits. If he pushed himself too far in a battle against a very strong enemy, it could drain his life force. For example, if he faced an enemy who could absorb magic and he kept using his ice - magic attacks, he might end up exhausting himself to death.
A fanfiction could show their friendship developing through their shared love for Fairy Tail. They all have different reasons for loving the guild. Lucy loves the sense of family, Natsu loves the adventure, and Gray loves the chance to better himself. They start to realize that they have more in common than they thought. They begin to train together, help each other with personal problems, and before long, they have a strong, unbreakable friendship within the walls of Fairy Tail.
If they were in a modern - day city setting, their relationship might start as a comical one. Gray being all about his ice - making and Ultear with her time - magic could cause some hilarious misunderstandings. For example, Gray might accidentally freeze a coffee shop Ultear was about to enter, and she would be annoyed at first but then find it funny. Eventually, they would bond over protecting the city from magical threats that start to appear.
