  Carrot, what the hell is this? Moshi moshi~!!

'''Well, this short month I was feeling deprived of something no thanks to Mashima. Care to take a guess as to what?'''

'''If you guessed JellalErza goodiness, then you are correct! DAMN STRAIGHT! There was so much JellalErza potential in this arc and now I think it's all gone. So, how do we make up for this? With a whole FF article dedicated to JellalErza smut! That's how!! \( ^__^)/'''

Gosh I love smut sometimes~

As always, if you are an avid fanfic reader and know of a great fic you'd like everyone to see, message me or talk to me in chat and I'll check it out and probably add it to my article ;D

'''Get on with it!! ''' 



To Claim That Once Is Immeasurable, by Aero-Cluster Romance - Hurt - Comfort - JellalXErza - One-shot - M "Infinite."

There are many types of JellalErza M rated fics out there that are nice reads. They are funny or sexy or entertaining or exciting... but I have to say there are very few that have moved me as much as this one did.

You may remember in the first edition of Fairy Fiction I ever wrote (or was it the second? o__O) that I included a story called "In a Heartbeat" by this very author - the one about Nazi Germany and the concentration camp. Well, the author is back with a second M fic that very much rivals In a Heartbeat for being one of the most moving and downright emotional JellalErza fanfics I have ever read.

This time, it's a one-shot, and the story alternates between Jellal and Erza's viewpoint, each time having a short paragraph that shows their interactions before jumping forward in time slightly to the next one.

The plot itself is about Jellal and Erza (and Mirajane, Laxus and Simon [who co-star]) all starting the same university/college degree and becoming fast friends. Jellal takes a liking to the quiet, odd and incredibly reserved Erza, though overlooks the fact that she seems so withdrawn, dismissing it as shyness. However, during a small accident when he gets too close to her, Erza has a full-on meltdown, and Jellal realises that she was raped when she was younger.

Yes, the fic does cover the topic of rape, and the way Jellal and Erza's relationship -or, lack thereof- is shaped by the fact that Erza is broken and can't move on, and Jellal is completely unknowing of how to handle the situation. As always with Aero-Cluster, the fic is not sunshine and rainbows, and the relationship Jellal and Erza go through is very raw and very broken - arguably not there at all. Finally, when they go their separate ways and are forced back together seven years later due to Simon, all hell breaks loose, because, can a relationship that fell apart so long ago ever be the same?

Aero-Cluster states in her authors notes at the end of the fic that she believes this story is one of the most rewarding she has written, and I have to strongly agree. So, though slightly more depressing than the others I bring you this month, go have a read, because, often, it's just nice to be moved and feel like you've gained something from a fanfiction.

I rate "To Claim That Once Is Immeasurable" a 9.7 out of 10.

Noteworthy, by Luka-nee Crack - Smut - Romance - JellalXErza - M "Island escapes and old friends, drunken achievements, visual kei enthusiasts, sloppy makeouts and other such classy goings-on. Jellal's summoned back to paradise."

You may remember a few issues back that I reviewed a story called "Meet the Fernandes'" by this very author. Well, I'm back again with another one of her fics, this time an M-rated smutfic involving all of the characters who are connected to the Tower of Heaven. Ever since I started writing this article I've had this fic waiting to be reviewed, but I never have gotten around to it. I guess maybe because the OS have re-entered the main story of Fairy Tail this fic got dragged forward, but either way, this fic is very enjoyable... and very weird o__O

In terms of plot, there's not much, but as a smutfic, intense plot is not expected. In short, Erza invites Jellal back to the ruined island that used to house the Tower of Heaven for a reunion/party with herself, Sho and the gang, and the Oracion Seis. Jellal, being himself, plans to always be in control and on guard around them all, but after Midnight secretly spikes his drink and everyone gets drunk as skunks, things start to happen. No... seriously, everyone is drunk for most of this fic XD

I won't deny it, I'm not one for drunk parties and raving and people throwing up everywhere and drunken make-outs, but this is what "Noteworthy" very much centres around for the first 5ish chapters. I think Erza manages to make out with almost every other character: Sho, Racer, Midnight... Angel... Yes, even Angel XD However, I still found it entertaining to read, as Luka-nee's work is always hilariously funny. The first and last chapters themselves have interactions between Jellal, Ultear and Meredy that make me fall off of my seat from laughter :3

But then, just when you think the story will be all drunken raving, it gets to the more serious JellalErza part, and it's here that Luka shines as an author. She just has these ways of writing their interactions perfectly, capturing the exact chemistry between the two and the conflict on both their behalves. The smut is very nicely written and is perfectly matched with the hilarity that is the final chapter XD

So go ahead, join the dark side of Jerzaness and give this one a go ;D If anything, do it for Wally and his dandy drinks ;)

I give "Noteworthy" an 9.4 out of 10.

Sometimes, Sinners Deserve Forgiveness, by BlueRegina06 Romance - Drama - JellalXErza - OC - M "Jellal finds himself in a compromising position; Erza is missing and Makarov asks him to bring her back safely. Once Erza is found, another problem arises, a problem that will question his strength and stamina, as well as his self-confidence."

Finally this month, I bring you the last of my three JellalErza fics (if you hate on me in comments for choosing all JellalErza I will behead you! Go blame Mashima for not including enough/ruining all of the JellalErzaness he had previously set up >:( Damn him!)

Anyways, onto the fic, and this one is just a sweet little story that happens some time after the Grand Magic Games arc. Jellal is doing his usual thing and is with Meredy, when he is contacted by the FT guild. Erza, sent out on an S-Class quest alone some time earlier has yet to return, and Makarov is nervous as to why. Not wanting to upset the FT guild because -odds are- Erza is fine, Makarov asks Jellal to go look for her and check that everything is A-okay. Jellal, worried himself, agrees.

Jellal soon arrives at the house of one of the clients and finds Erza - though, something is wrong. In an ironic reverse-scenario, Erza has been badly injured and has lost part of her memories, being found by the old woman currently looking after her confused and alone. Of course, in her state, Erza cannot return to the guild, and, though she recalls Jellal and knows that she knows him, she can't place where from or how. Naturally, Jellal is stuck in a very uneasy situation, as, not only does Erza not remember the bad things he's done to her, but he doesn't feel comfortable returning her to the guild when she barely even recalls being a member.

So, he decides to stay, and the story revolves around their interactions (and both their interactions with Yuuka, a very well-written original character) as time passes and Jellal wonders what to do.

I found this fic a really sweet read. The writing is great and the pacing nice and due to the plot, both Jellal and Erza revisit a lot of ideas and emotions surrounding their past. Most importantly, you're left wondering if Erza will get her memory back, and how.

Yes, there is smut... this is a damn smutfic for crying out loud XD It was nicely written though, and enjoyable. The fic is from Jellal's point of view and he is perfectly put into character. Erza a little less so, but with memory loss, you'd expect a bit of OOC-ness ;)

UPDATE! Okay, literally today (March 1st) (like, 10 minutes ago, to be precise) a final chapter was published for this fic. I thought it had already ended (the ninth chapter finishes on a very final-like note) but apparently I was wrong. To be honest, I found the final chapter quite OOC in comparison to the others, but it does draw the story around the original character to a close. So, if you finish the ninth chapter and really like where the story is and you think it's a nice end, I'd recommend stopping there. Otherwise read chapter 10 too, though there is quite intense smut in it that I was a bit so-so about, so be warned.

As I said earlier, a very enjoyable fic, and another on my JellalErza M favourites list :3

I give "Sometimes, Sinners Deserve Forgiveness" a 9.0 out of 10.

Comment and tell me what you want more of ;D

More smut?? MORE SMUT~! \( ^__^)/ For God's sake NO! No more smut! *stomps around like Godzilla* Meh ( .__.) Only if it's more JellalErza smut (pick this option NOW ಠ__ಠ)

Leli admitted when I proposed this article that he had never read a fanfic in his life, and that he didn't really intend to because reading is stupid. Your thoughts on this? Leli is an idiot >__> Leli needs to get a life~ Leli's just jealous his parents never taught him how to read :3 Leli should try things before he decides to hate on them ( .__.) I am Leli, and I am not happy with this poll >:(
