If Lucy never joined Fairy Tail, the friendships and relationships among the characters would form in a very different way. Also, many of the story arcs might not unfold as they do in the original plot.
You can try searching on fanfiction websites like Archive of Our Own or FanFiction.net. Just type in 'Lucy Frosch Fairy Tail' in their search bars, and you might find relevant fanfictions.
One popular plot could be that Lucy and Natsu accidentally end up in the hot spring at the same time. They start off embarrassed but then have a heart - to - heart conversation about their adventures in Fairy Tail. Another plot might involve a magical occurrence in the hot spring that bonds them in some way, like they share a vision of a future adventure. And a third could be that the whole Fairy Tail guild decides to visit the hot spring and Lucy and Natsu have some sweet, private moments among the chaos of the guild's visit.
In these fanfictions, their relationship often develops through shared vulnerability. Being in the hot spring is a very private and relaxing setting. For example, Lucy might open up about her insecurities regarding her magic, and Natsu would comfort her, showing his more tender side. This deepens their bond.
In some fanfictions, Lucy might be portrayed as a friend to Frosch. She could be someone who looks out for the little Exceed, given her kind - hearted nature in the Fairy Tail series.
There is a fanfiction called 'Lucy in the Alternate Realm'. This one is interesting because it sends Lucy to an alternate realm where she has to find her way back. Along the way, she meets different versions of her friends and has to use her wits and magic to survive. It's a great read for any 'Fairy Tail' and Lucy fan.
Yes, there are many non - inappropriate 'Fairy Tail Lucy' fanfictions. For example, some focus on her adventures and growth within the Fairy Tail guild. They might explore her relationships with other guild members in a friendly and positive way, like her friendship with Natsu and how they support each other during quests.
I think it depends on how it's handled. If the 'naked' aspect is just a shock - value title and the actual fanfiction is more about exploring Lucy's character growth, relationships, or her adventures in a tasteful way, it could be okay. But more often than not, it gives the wrong impression and might not be suitable for the overall Fairy Tail community which values things like friendship, courage, and magic more than such potentially inappropriate themes.
Well, 'Nerd Lucy in Fairy Tail' is another one. This fanfiction focuses on Lucy's journey as a nerd in the Fairy Tail world. She befriends other guild members who initially underestimate her but later come to rely on her vast knowledge of magic theory.
