The theme of self - discovery within the relationship is also quite common. As they get closer, they learn more about themselves, their own desires and fears. This could be related to their personal lives, like Lucy realizing she wants a more stable relationship because of her time with Tim, or Tim understanding that he can be more open - minded about certain things because of Lucy's influence.
Some fanfictions explore what could happen if one of them was in danger. In 'Lucy's Ordeal', Lucy gets kidnapped while on a case. Tim's reaction and his determination to save her not only showcases his loyalty as a partner but also reveals his deeper emotional connection to her. These types of stories often have a lot of action and suspense along with the relationship development.
William Bradford wasn't a realist fiction author. His writings were more focused on documenting historical events and experiences rather than creating fictional stories in a realist style.
There's not enough information to really know who Lucy specifically is. She could be just a regular reader of fanfiction who took the time to rate this piece as M. Maybe she's part of a fanfiction community where people rate works to help others know what to expect.
It could be inspired by her dreams. People often get creative ideas from their dreams. Lucy might have had some vivid and interesting dreams that she wants to expand on and turn into a novel. She could be exploring new worlds, characters, and storylines that came to her during sleep.
I'm not sure what type of Jereff and Lucy Doujinshi you're referring to. If you can provide more background information or context, I will try my best to answer your questions.
Other dragon slayers could be her potential allies. They might recognize her skills despite her being a princess. Also, magical creatures who are enemies of the dragons, like phoenixes or griffins, could side with her. And some wise old wizards or witches who see her potential might offer their help.
She might start to blush furiously. Given her character, she is a bit shy when it comes to romantic matters. And then she might start to stammer out a response, not really sure what to say at first. As she composes herself, she could tell Natsu that she has feelings for him too but in a very gentle and sincere way.
