When Gray wakes up one night with a voice in his head, the last thing he expects is to suddenly be sharing a body with a demon. Natsu is nothing like Gray expected, though. He's surprisingly charming, and more concerned about getting Gray to eat vegetables than he is with taking over the world. Since Gray can't push him away like he does with everyone else, he begrudgingly accepts Natsu's place in his life - for now. But when Natsu ends up needing Gray's help, what started out as an inconvenience turns into a road trip - and a friendship - that changes Gray's life.Cross-posted on AO3 and fanfiction.net as splendidlyimperfectFind me on tumblr as @splendidlyimperfect…

When Natsu runs into five-year-old Sting and Rogue at the Grand Magic Games, he thinks they're cute kids with a serious case of hero worship. But when it turns out that they're both Dragon Slayers and they belong to the ruthless Sabertooth Guild, something doesn't feel quite right. Natsu and Gray quickly grow protective of the two little kids, and they do their best to build a relationship with them to try to keep them safe and figure out what exactly is going on at Sabertooth.~so this fic basically took a look at canon, told it to fuck off, and then kinda wrote itself. tenrou never happened, fairy tail and sabertooth are both competing in the grand magic games, but sting and rogue are only five and not on the team yet. also, dragon slaying is just a type of magic and doesn't actually come from dragons (plus the slayers all have awesome scales).~title from 'let me be your haven' by we banjo 3~Cross-posted on AO3 and fanfiction.net as splendidlyimperfectFind me on tumblr as @splendidlyimperfect…
